Detection of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) from neuroimaging data such as MRI through machine learning have been a subject of intense research in recent years. Recent success of deep learning in computer vision have progressed such research further. However, common limitations with such algorithms are reliance on a large number of training images, and requirement of careful optimization of the architecture...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) provide the current state of the art in visual object classification, but they are far less accurate when classifying partially occluded objects. A straightforward way to improve classification under occlusion conditions is to train the classifier using partially occluded object examples. However, training the network on many combinations of object instances and...
Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook attracts millions of users across the world and their interaction with social networking has affected their life. This popularity in social networking has led to different problems including the possibility of exposing incorrect information to their users through fake accounts which results to the spread of malicious content. This situation can...
Encryption is often not sufficient to secure communication, since it does not hide that communication takes place or who is communicating with whom. Covert channels hide the very existence of communication enabling individuals to communicate secretly. Previous work proposed a covert channel hidden inside multi-player first person shooter online game traffic (FPSCC). FPSCC has a low bit rate, but it...
We introduce scGAN, a novel extension of conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) tailored for the challenging problem of shadow detection in images. Previous methods for shadow detection focus on learning the local appearance of shadow regions, while using limited local context reasoning in the form of pairwise potentials in a Conditional Random Field. In contrast, the proposed adversarial...
Annotating human poses in realistic scenes is very time consuming, yet necessary for training human pose estimators. We propose to address this problem in an active learning framework, which alternates between requesting the most useful annotations among a large set of unlabelled images, and re-training the pose estimator. To this end, (1) we propose an uncertainty estimator specific for body joint...
Deep learning (deep structured learning, hierarchical learning or deep machine learning) is a branch of machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using multiple processing layers with complex structures or otherwise composed of multiple non-linear transformations. In this paper, we present the results of testing neural networks architectures...
Motor imagery based brain computer interface (BCI) has drawback of long subject dependent calibration session times. This can be a very exhausting and a time consuming process. In order to alleviate it, transfer learning and active learning approaches can be utilised. Informative instances are selected by applying active learning concept from other subjects under similar circumstances. Then, they...
A fault diagnosis model of gas pressure regulator based on deep belief networks (DBN) theory is proposed in this paper, which is applied to the fault diagnosis method of gas regulator. Through the DBN parameter setting, the distribution of the original data of the network architecture can be reassembled by the greedy unsupervised layering training algorithm in the depth network to reflect the more...
The highest accuracy object detectors to date are based on a two-stage approach popularized by R-CNN, where a classifier is applied to a sparse set of candidate object locations. In contrast, one-stage detectors that are applied over a regular, dense sampling of possible object locations have the potential to be faster and simpler, but have trailed the accuracy of two-stage detectors thus far. In...
Textual-visual matching aims at measuring similarities between sentence descriptions and images. Most existing methods tackle this problem without effectively utilizing identity-level annotations. In this paper, we propose an identity-aware two-stage framework for the textual-visual matching problem. Our stage-1 CNN-LSTM network learns to embed cross-modal features with a novel Cross-Modal Cross-Entropy...
Roller element bearing fault diagnosis is crucial in industry to maintain that the machine is in good condition so that there is no delay of work due to machine breakdown. This paper discusses the use of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm to classify bearing faults. The performance of ELM is compared with Back Propagation (BP) algorithm. It was found that the results show that the ELM has smaller...
Reordering is of a challenging issue in phrase-based statistical machine translation systems. This paper proposed three techniques to optimize classification-based reordering models for phrase-based translation under the bracket transduction grammar framework. First, a forced decoding technique is adopted to learn reordering samples for maximum entropy model training. Secondly, additional features...
This paper introduces an efficient probabilistic approach with RSSI fingerprinting for Indoor Localization. A Shannon's Entropy based access points (APs) selection is considered. Once the APs selection is performed, a probability is assigned to each training fingerprint based on RSSI measurements. Then, the user's location is estimated as a combination of training positions weighted with their corresponding...
Classification of different tumor type are of great significance in problems cancer prediction. Choosing the most relevant qualities from huge microarray expression is very important. It is a most explored subject in bioinformatics because of its hugeness to move forward humans understanding of inherent causing cancer mechanism. In this paper, we aim to classify leukaemia cells. Our approach relies...
DNS tunnel is a typical Internet covert channel used by attackers or bots to evade the malicious activities detection. The stolen information is encoded and encapsulated into the DNS packets to transfer. Since DNS traffic is common, most of the firewalls directly allow it to pass and IDS does not trigger an alarm with it. The popular signature-based detection methods and threshold-based methods are...
Compressed sensing is a signal acquisition scheme that measures signals at sub-Nyquist rate amenable to sparse recovery, with high probability, from a reduced set of measurements. One of the main requirements of compressive sensing is the sparsity of the class of signals of interest in some basis. A method to construct a sparsifying basis for a class of signals using information theoretic measures...
Least squares support vector machines (LSSVM) has a good performance in small data samples, but can't solve the large-scale sample problems. In this paper, large data set sparse least squares support vector machines model based on stochastic entropy is proposed, and it can be applied to large-scale data samples. Firstly, the large-scale data set is divided into several subsets. Then the entropy method...
In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of the transportation of LNG carrier, and for the lack of evaluation method of LNG seafarers' competency, the evaluation index system of professional competency of LNG seafarers has been established. By using the questionnaire data that obtained from the adoption of intuitionistic fuzzy entropy method dealing with the importance of index, the objective...
Intense interest in applying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in biomedical image analysis is wide spread, but its success is impeded by the lack of large annotated datasets in biomedical imaging. Annotating biomedical images is not only tedious and time consuming, but also demanding of costly, specialty - oriented knowledge and skills, which are not easily accessible. To dramatically reduce annotation...
