Visual Odometry Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Alec Graves, Steffen Lim, Thomas Fagan, Kevin Mcfall Phd. Dec 2017

Visual Odometry Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Alec Graves, Steffen Lim, Thomas Fagan, Kevin Mcfall Phd.

The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research

Visual odometry is the process of tracking an agent's motion over time using a visual sensor. The visual odometry problem has only been recently solved using traditional, non-machine learning techniques. Despite the success of neural networks at many related problems such as object recognition, feature detection, and optical flow, visual odometry still has not been solved with a deep learning technique. This paper attempts to implement several Convolutional Neural Networks to solve the visual odometry problem and compare slight variations in data preprocessing. The work presented is a step toward reaching a legitimate neural network solution.

Hierarchical Fusion Based Deep Learning Framework For Lung Nodule Classification, Kazim Sekeroglu Oct 2017

Hierarchical Fusion Based Deep Learning Framework For Lung Nodule Classification, Kazim Sekeroglu

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Lung cancer is the leading cancer type that causes the mortality in both men and women. Computer aided detection (CAD) and diagnosis systems can play a very important role for helping the physicians in cancer treatments. This dissertation proposes a CAD framework that utilizes a hierarchical fusion based deep learning model for detection of nodules from the stacks of 2D images. In the proposed hierarchical approach, a decision is made at each level individually employing the decisions from the previous level. Further, individual decisions are computed for several perspectives of a volume of interest (VOI). This study explores three different …

Hybrid Recommender Systems With Deep Learning, Fei Li Aug 2017

Hybrid Recommender Systems With Deep Learning, Fei Li

LSU Master's Theses

As one of the most popular recommendation algorithms, collaborative filtering (CF) suggests items favored by like-minded based on user ratings. However, CF performs worse for users and items with fewer ratings, which is known as the cold-start problem. On the other hand, the auxiliary information of items such as images and reviews can be helpful for relieving the cold-start issue and improving recommendation accuracy. How to effectively extract features from heterogeneous auxiliary information and integrate them with collaborative filtering remains a big challenge. In this thesis, we propose a tightly-coupled hybrid recommender system named Fusion-MF-Mix via a deep fusion framework, …

Deepfacade: A Deep Learning Approach To Facade Parsing, Hantang Liu, Jialiang Zhang, Jianke Zhu, Steven C. H. Hoi Aug 2017

Deepfacade: A Deep Learning Approach To Facade Parsing, Hantang Liu, Jialiang Zhang, Jianke Zhu, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The parsing of building facades is a key component to the problem of 3D street scenes reconstruction, which is long desired in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based method for segmenting a facade into semantic categories. Man-made structures often present the characteristic of symmetry. Based on this observation, we propose a symmetric regularizer for training the neural network. Our proposed method can make use of both the power of deep neural networks and the structure of man-made architectures. We also propose a method to refine the segmentation results using bounding boxes generated by the Region …

Formresnet: Formatted Residual Learning For Image Restoration, Jianbo Jiao, Wei-Chih Tu, Shengfeng He Aug 2017

Formresnet: Formatted Residual Learning For Image Restoration, Jianbo Jiao, Wei-Chih Tu, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we propose a deep CNN to tackle the image restoration problem by learning the structured residual. Previous deep learning based methods directly learn the mapping from corrupted images to clean images, and may suffer from the gradient exploding/vanishing problems of deep neural networks. We propose to address the image restoration problem by learning the structured details and recovering the latent clean image together, from the shared information between the corrupted image and the latent image. In addition, instead of learning the pure difference (corruption), we propose to add a 'residual formatting layer' to format the residual to …

Speech Based Machine Learning Models For Emotional State Recognition And Ptsd Detection, Debrup Banerjee Jul 2017

Speech Based Machine Learning Models For Emotional State Recognition And Ptsd Detection, Debrup Banerjee

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Recognition of emotional state and diagnosis of trauma related illnesses such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using speech signals have been active research topics over the past decade. A typical emotion recognition system consists of three components: speech segmentation, feature extraction and emotion identification. Various speech features have been developed for emotional state recognition which can be divided into three categories, namely, excitation, vocal tract and prosodic. However, the capabilities of different feature categories and advanced machine learning techniques have not been fully explored for emotion recognition and PTSD diagnosis. For PTSD assessment, clinical diagnosis through structured interviews is a …

Tackling The Interleaving Problem In Activity Discovery, Eoin Rogers, Robert J. Ross, John D. Kelleher Jun 2017

Tackling The Interleaving Problem In Activity Discovery, Eoin Rogers, Robert J. Ross, John D. Kelleher

Conference papers

Activity discovery (AD) is the unsupervised process of discovering activities in data produced from streaming sensor networks that are recording the actions of human subjects. One major challenge for AD systems is interleaving, the tendency for people to carry out multiple activities at a time a parallel. Following on from our previous work, we continue to investigate AD in interleaved datasets, with a view towards progressing the state-of-the-art for AD.

A Compare-Aggregate Model For Matching Text Sequences, Shuohang Wang, Jing Jiang Apr 2017

A Compare-Aggregate Model For Matching Text Sequences, Shuohang Wang, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Many NLP tasks including machine comprehension, answer selection and text entailment require the comparison between sequences. Matching the important units between sequences is a key to solve these problems. In this paper, we present a general "compare-aggregate" framework that performs word-level matching followed by aggregation using Convolutional Neural Networks. We particularly focus on the different comparison functions we can use to match two vectors. We use four different datasets to evaluate the model. We find that some simple comparison functions based on element-wise operations can work better than standard neural network and neural tensor network.

An Alternative Approach To Training Sequence-To-Sequence Model For Machine Translation, Vivek Sah Jan 2017

An Alternative Approach To Training Sequence-To-Sequence Model For Machine Translation, Vivek Sah

Honors Theses

Machine translation is a widely researched topic in the field of Natural Language Processing and most recently, neural network models have been shown to be very effective at this task. The model, called sequence-to-sequence model, learns to map an input sequence in one language to a vector of fixed dimensionality and then map that vector to an output sequence in another language without any human intervention provided that there is enough training data. Focusing on English-French translation, in this paper, I present a way to simplify the learning process by replacing English input sentences by word-by-word translation of those sentences. …

Deep Models For Engagement Assessment With Scarce Label Information, Feng Li, Guangfan Zhang, Wei Wang, Roger Xu, Tom Schnell, Jonathan Wen, Frederic Mckenzie, Jiang Li Jan 2017

Deep Models For Engagement Assessment With Scarce Label Information, Feng Li, Guangfan Zhang, Wei Wang, Roger Xu, Tom Schnell, Jonathan Wen, Frederic Mckenzie, Jiang Li

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Task engagement is defined as loadings on energetic arousal (affect), task motivation, and concentration (cognition) [1]. It is usually challenging and expensive to label cognitive state data, and traditional computational models trained with limited label information for engagement assessment do not perform well because of overfitting. In this paper, we proposed two deep models (i.e., a deep classifier and a deep autoencoder) for engagement assessment with scarce label information. We recruited 15 pilots to conduct a 4-h flight simulation from Seattle to Chicago and recorded their electroencephalograph (EEG) signals during the simulation. Experts carefully examined the EEG signals and labeled …

Towards A Deep Learning-Based Activity Discovery System, Eoin Rogers, John D. Kelleher, Robert J. Ross Sep 2016

Towards A Deep Learning-Based Activity Discovery System, Eoin Rogers, John D. Kelleher, Robert J. Ross

Conference papers

Activity discovery is a challenging machine learning problem where we seek to uncover new or altered behavioural patterns in sensor data. In this paper we motivate and introduce a novel approach to activity discovery based on modern deep learning techniques. We hypothesise that our proposed approach can deal with interleaved datasets in a more intelligent manner than most existing AD methods. We also build upon prior work building hierarchies of activities that capture the inherent ag- gregate nature of complex activities and show how this could plausibly be adapted to work with the deep learning technique we present. Finally, we …

Energy Consumption Prediction With Big Data: Balancing Prediction Accuracy And Computational Resources, Katarina Grolinger, Miriam Am Capretz, Luke Seewald

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

In recent years, advances in sensor technologies and expansion of smart meters have resulted in massive growth of energy data sets. These Big Data have created new opportunities for energy prediction, but at the same time, they impose new challenges for traditional technologies. On the other hand, new approaches for handling and processing these Big Data have emerged, such as MapReduce, Spark, Storm, and Oxdata H2O. This paper explores how findings from machine learning with Big Data can benefit energy consumption prediction. An approach based on local learning with support vector regression (SVR) is presented. Although local learning itself is …

Automatic Classification Of Perceived Gender From Face Images, Joseph Lemley, Sami Abdul-Wahid, Dipayan Banik May 2016

Automatic Classification Of Perceived Gender From Face Images, Joseph Lemley, Sami Abdul-Wahid, Dipayan Banik

Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)

Building software that can visually and accurately perceive gender from face images is an important step in making more intelligent machines. Several approaches to this problem have been suggested in the literature. We evaluate Histogram of Oriented Gradients, Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Support Vector Machines (SVM) and compare them to Convolutional Neural Networks for this task. We train and test our classifiers with two benchmarks containing thousands of facial images. As expected, convolutional neural networks had the best performance while the performance of DTCWT varied most depending on the dataset used
