During the image acquisition process, some level of noise is usually added to the real data mainly due to physical limitations of the acquisition sensor, and also regarding imprecisions during the data transmission and manipulation. Therefore, the resultant image needs to be processed in order to attenuate its noise without loosing details. Machine learning approaches have been successfully used for...
Event logging is a key source of information on a system state. Reading logs provides insights on its activity, assess its correct state and allows to diagnose problems. However, reading does not scale: with the number of machines increasingly rising, and the complexification of systems, the task of auditing systems' health based on logfiles is becoming overwhelming for system administrators. This...
The handwritten digit recognition problem becomes one of the most famous problems in machine learning and computer vision applications. Many machine learning techniques have been employed to solve the handwritten digit recognition problem. This paper focuses on Neural Network (NN) approaches. The most three famous NN approaches are deep neural network (DNN), deep belief network (DBN) and convolutional...
Computer-assisted analysis of endoscopic imagescan be helpful to the automatic diagnosis and classificationof neoplastic lesions. Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a commontype of reflux that is not straightforward to be detected byendoscopic surveillance, thus being way susceptible to erroneousdiagnosis, which can cause cancer when not treated properly. In this work, we introduce the Optimum-Path Forest...
The logging and further analysis of borehole images is a major step in the interpretation of geological events. Natural fractures and beddings are features whose identification is commonly performed using acoustic and electrical borehole imaging tools. Such identification is a tedious task and is made visually by geologists, who must be experts on classification. The correct identification of planar...
One of the important problems in social media platforms like Twitter is the large number of social bots or sybil accounts which are controlled by automated agents, generally used for malicious activities. These include directing more visitors to certain websites which can be considered as spam, influence a community on a specific topic, spread misinformation, recruit people to illegal organizations,...
Image dehazing can be described as the problem of mapping from a hazy image to a haze-free image. Most approaches to this problem use physical models based on simplifications and priors. In this work we demonstrate that a convolutional neural network with a deep architecture and a large image database is able to learn the entire process of dehazing, without the need to adjust parameters, resulting...
Heart disease is a deadly disease that large population of people around the world suffers from. When considering death rates and large number of people who suffers from heart disease, it is revealed how important early diagnosis of heart disease. Traditional way of diagnosis is not sufficient for such an illness. Developing a medical diagnosis system based on machine learning for prediction of heart...
For applications in robot manipulate with object, get the pose of objects is very important for controller's subsequent operations, especially in PCB feeding and blanking field, the grasp success rate will be enhanced if robot can get a exact pose of objects that relative to end manipulator. So in this paper we utilize the CNN model to build on a neural network for 3 tasks: object recognition, location...
Deep learning is nowadays one of the most popular research topics in computer science. In recent years, the extensive application of convolutional neural network has made it become a new direction for the computer architecture research that is developing rapidly. Currently, there is a growing demand on off-line deploying deep learning network on top of embedded mobile systems. However, how to balance...
Face sketch synthesis plays an important role in both law enforcement and digital entertainment. The existing methods for sketch synthesis always suffer from noising and blurring effect. To resolve these problems, a nonsubsampled Shearlet transform (NSST) based detail enhancement strategy is proposed. The exemplar-based method is firstly adopted to synthesize the primary sketch, then the final sketch...
In this paper, we try to recognize negative emotions (sadness and disgust) of human affecting driving by using physiological signals that are commonly used to deal with human emotions. To do this, emotional stimuli are used to induce sadness and disgust, and emotion recognition is performed based on the feature vector extracted from the physiological signals collected on the induced emotion by a stimulus...
The study of network features is an important analysis method for the social networks, and prediction of network features is a research problem with many applications, particularly in decision making. In this paper, we propose a novel feature prediction method for temporal social networks, which estimates network measurements in the future based on a small window of measurements in the past. We utilized...
In the era of Internet and electronic devices bullying shifted its place from schools and backyards into the cyberspace; it is now known as Cyberbullying. Children of the Arab countries are suffering from cyberbullying same as children worldwide. Thus concerns from cyberbullying are elevating. A lot of research is done for the purpose of handling this situation. The current research is focusing on...
Classifiers trained on given databases perform poorly when tested on data acquired in different settings. This is explained in domain adaptation through a shift among distributions of the source and target domains. Attempts to align them have traditionally resulted in works reducing the domain shift by introducing appropriate loss terms, measuring the discrepancies between source and target distributions,...
Learning to hash has been widely applied to approximate nearest neighbor search for large-scale multimedia retrieval, due to its computation efficiency and retrieval quality. Deep learning to hash, which improves retrieval quality by end-to-end representation learning and hash encoding, has received increasing attention recently. Subject to the ill-posed gradient difficulty in the optimization with...
Convolutional neural networks showed the ability in stereo matching cost learning. Recent approaches learned parameters from public datasets that have ground truth disparity maps. Due to the difficulty of labeling ground truth depth, usable data for system training is rather limited, making it difficult to apply the system to real applications. In this paper, we present a framework for learning stereo...
The success of deep learning in vision can be attributed to: (a) models with high capacity; (b) increased computational power; and (c) availability of large-scale labeled data. Since 2012, there have been significant advances in representation capabilities of the models and computational capabilities of GPUs. But the size of the biggest dataset has surprisingly remained constant. What will happen...
Nowadays, deep learning is very popular in a variety of research field due to its outperformance over the existing machine learning methods and its high generality over raw inputs. According to recent surveys, deep learning can give high performance in visual object recognition system. Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a promising research area over the computer vision research field due to its enormous...
The strong abilities of deep learning models have been shown in the area of text detection in natural scene images. In this paper, we introduce a new method called deep metric learning for scene text detection. We use the triplet loss [1] to replace the traditional loss function (Softmax) and learn a mapping from image regions to a compact Euclidean space where distances correspond to a measure of...
