The COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has become a major global threat to human health and well-being Thus, the development of computer-aided detection (CAD) systems that are capable to accurately distinguish COVID-19 from other diseases using chest computed tomography (CT) and X-ray data is of immediate priority Such automatic systems are usually based on traditional machine learning or deep learning methods Differently from most of existing studies, which used either CT scan or X-ray images in COVID-19-case classification, we present a simple but efficient deep learning feature fusion model, called UncertaintyFuseNet, which is able to classify accurately large datasets of …

Towards Improving Calibration In Object Detection Under Domain Shift, Muhammad Akhtar Munir, Muhammad Haris Khan, M. Saquib Sarfraz, Mohsen Ali

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

With deep neural network based solution more readily being incorporated in real-world applications, it has been pressing requirement that predictions by such models, especially in safety-critical environments, be highly accurate and well-calibrated. Although some techniques addressing DNN calibration have been proposed, they are only limited to visual classification applications and in-domain predictions. Unfortunately, very little to no attention is paid towards addressing calibration of DNN-based visual object detectors, that occupy similar space and importance in many decision making systems as their visual classification counterparts. In this work, we study the calibration of DNN-based object detection models, particularly under domain shift. …

A Multi-Dimensional Matrix Pencil-Based Channel Prediction Method For Massive Mimo With Mobility, Weidong Li, Haifan Yin, Ziao Qin, Yandi Cao, Mérouane Debbah

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

This paper addresses the mobility problem in massive multiple-input multiple-output systems, which leads to significant performance losses in the practical deployment of the fifth generation mobile communication networks. We propose a novel channel prediction method based on multi-dimensional matrix pencil (MDMP), which estimates the path parameters by exploiting the angular-frequency-domain and angular-timedomain structures of the wideband channel. The MDMP method also entails a novel path pairing scheme to pair the delay and Doppler, based on the super-resolution property of the angle estimation. Our method is able to deal with the realistic constraint of time-varying path delays introduced by user movements, …

Self-Supervised Video Object Segmentation Via Cutout Prediction And Tagging, Jyoti Kini, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Salman Khan, Mubarak Shah

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

We propose a novel self-supervised Video Object Segmentation (VOS) approach that strives to achieve better object-background discriminability for accurate object segmentation. Distinct from previous self-supervised VOS methods, our approach is based on a discriminative learning loss formulation that takes into account both object and background information to ensure object-background discriminability, rather than using only object appearance. The discriminative learning loss comprises cutout-based reconstruction (cutout region represents part of a frame, whose pixels are replaced with some constant values) and tag prediction loss terms. The cutout-based reconstruction term utilizes a simple cutout scheme to learn the pixel-wise correspondence between the current …
