With the development of the aviation industry and the improvement of people's living standard, more and more people choose aircraft as their way of travel, but the airline adjusts the price according to the revenue management in real time. The purpose of this paper is to design different decision-making tools from the customer's perspective, and to provide customers with the relevant information needed...
The significant role of predicting weather conditions in daily life, the new era of innovative machine learning approaches along with the availability of high volumes of data and high computer performance capabilities, creates increasing perspectives for novel improved short-range forecasting of main meteorological parameters. Among the various algorithms for forecasting parameters, ensemble learning...
We propose to fuse two currently separate research lines on novel therapies for stroke rehabilitation: brain-computer interface (BCI) training and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). Specifically, we show that BCI technology can be used to learn personalized decoding models that relate the global configuration of brain rhythms in individual subjects (as measured by EEG) to their motor performance...
We present a neural network technique for the analysis and extrapolation of time-series data called Neural Decomposition (ND). Units with a sinusoidal activation function are used to perform a Fourier-like decomposition of training samples into a sum of sinusoids, augmented by units with nonperiodic activation functions to capture linear trends and other nonperiodic components. We show how careful...
There has been a phenomenal increase in the utility of text classification (TC) in applications like targeted advertisement and sentiment analysis. Most applications demand that the model be efficient and robust, yet produce accurate categorizations. This is quite challenging as their is a dearth of labelled training data because it requires assigning labels after reading the whole document. Secondly,...
Building language models for source code enables a large set of improvements on traditional software engineering tasks. One promising application is automatic code completion. State-of-the-art techniques capture code regularities at token level with lexical information. Such language models are more suitable for predicting short token sequences, but become less effective with respect to long statement...
Authorship attribution has been well studied in terms of text classification with many diverse feature sets. However, finding topic independent features is hard and trained models with hand crafted features in one domain may not work in another domain. In this study we used a semi-supervised neural language model which is known as document embeddings for authorship attribution problem. This method...
In many computer vision tasks, for example saliency prediction or semantic segmentation, the desired output is a foreground map that predicts pixels where some criteria is satisfied. Despite the inherently spatial nature of this task commonly used learning objectives do not incorporate the spatial relationships between misclassified pixels and the underlying ground truth. The Weighted F-measure, a...
We aim to tackle a novel vision task called Weakly Supervised Visual Relation Detection (WSVRD) to detect “subject-predicate-object” relations in an image with object relation groundtruths available only at the image level. This is motivated by the fact that it is extremely expensive to label the combinatorial relations between objects at the instance level. Compared to the extensively studied problem,...
While natural beauty is often considered a subjective property of images, in this paper, we take an objective approach and provide methods for quantifying and predicting the scenicness of an image. Using a dataset containing hundreds of thousands of outdoor images captured throughout Great Britain with crowdsourced ratings of natural beauty, we propose an approach to predict scenicness which explicitly...
Future frame prediction in videos is a promising avenue for unsupervised video representation learning. Video frames are naturally generated by the inherent pixel flows from preceding frames based on the appearance and motion dynamics in the video. However, existing methods focus on directly hallucinating pixel values, resulting in blurry predictions. In this paper, we develop a dual motion Generative...
The ability of learning from noisy labels is very useful in many visual recognition tasks, as a vast amount of data with noisy labels are relatively easy to obtain. Traditionally, label noise has been treated as statistical outliers, and techniques such as importance re-weighting and bootstrapping have been proposed to alleviate the problem. According to our observation, the real-world noisy labels...
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have delivered superior performance in many computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel deep fully convolutional network model for accurate salient object detection. The key contribution of this work is to learn deep uncertain convolutional features (UCF), which encourage the robustness and accuracy of saliency detection. We achieve this via introducing...
This work proposes Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models to predict structured ‘image situations’ – actions and noun entities fulfilling semantic roles related to the action. In contrast to prior work relying on Conditional Random Fields (CRFs), we use a specialized action prediction network followed by an RNN for noun prediction. Our system obtains state-of-the-art accuracy on the challenging recent...
Super resolution is the problem of artificially enlarging a low resolution photograph to recover a plausible high resolution version. In the regime of high magnification factors, the problem is dramatically underspecified and many plausible, high resolution images may match a given low resolution image. In particular, traditional super resolution techniques fail in this regime due to the multimodality...
The efficient development of all-digital RF-transmitters (DRFTx) requires models that can capture the memory induced, nonlinear behavior of the circuitry. Broadband time-domain models work well for this application, although, gaining dependable model prediction errors from verification measurements is difficult. For the presented DRFTx, the model predicts output signals over the full bandwidth (DC-20...
With the availability of medical data for large number of patients in hospitals, early detection of diseases has been made easier in the recent past. Conditions like Infertility which are hard to detect or diagnose can be now diagnosed with greater precision with the help of predictive modeling. One of the key challenges for early detection and timely treatment is in identifying and recording key...
Many existing scene parsing methods adopt Convolutional Neural Networks with fixed-size receptive fields, which frequently result in inconsistent predictions of large objects and invisibility of small objects. To tackle this issue, we propose a scale-adaptive convolution to acquire flexiblesize receptive fields during scene parsing. Through adding a new scale regression layer, we can dynamically infer...
Recognizing arbitrary objects in the wild has been a challenging problem due to the limitations of existing classification models and datasets. In this paper, we propose a new task that aims at parsing scenes with a large and open vocabulary, and several evaluation metrics are explored for this problem. Our approach is a joint image pixel and word concept embeddings framework, where word concepts...
In partial label learning, each training example is associated with a set of candidate labels among which only one is the ground-truth label. The common strategy to induce predictive model is trying to disambiguate the candidate label set, i.e., differentiating the modeling outputs of individual candidate labels. Specifically, disambiguation by differentiation can be conducted either by identifying...
