SyncSpecCNN: Synchronized Spectral CNN for 3D Shape Segmentation

This paper introduces a spectral parametrization of dilated convolutional kernels and a spectral transformer network that enables weight sharing by parametrizing kernels in the spectral domain spanned by graph Laplacian eigenbases and strives to overcome two key challenges: how to share coefficients and conduct multi-scale analysis in different parts of the graph for a single shape.

Geodesic Binding for Degenerate Character Geometry Using Sparse Voxelization

By decoupling weight assignment from distance computation it is made possible to modify weights interactively, at pose time, without additional pre-processing or computation, and allows artists to assess impact of weight selection in the context in which they are used.
