Implementation and verification of the Information Bottleneck interpretation of deep neural networksLiu, Feiyang January 2018 (has links)
Although deep neural networks (DNNs) have made remarkable achievementsin various elds, there is still not a matching practical theory that is able toexplain DNNs' performances. Tishby (2015) proposed a new insight to analyzeDNN via the Information bottleneck (IB) method. By visualizing how muchrelevant information each layer contains in input and output, he claimed thatthe DNNs training is composed of tting phase and compression phase. Thetting phase is when DNNs learn information both in input and output, andthe prediction accuracy goes high during this process. Afterwards, it is thecompression phase when information in output is preserved while unrelatedinformation in input is thrown away in hidden layers. This is a tradeo betweenthe network complexity (complicated DNNs lose less information in input) andprediction accuracy, which is the same goal with the IB method.In this thesis, we verify this IB interpretation rst by reimplementing Tishby'swork, where the hidden layer distribution is approximated by the histogram(binning). Additionally, we introduce various mutual information estimationmethods like kernel density estimators. Based upon simulation results, we concludethat there exists an optimal bound on the mutual information betweenhidden layers with input and output. But the compression mainly occurs whenthe activation function is \double saturated", like hyperbolic tangent function.Furthermore, we extend the work to the simulated wireless model where thedata set is generated by a wireless system simulator. The results reveal that theIB interpretation is true, but the binning is not a correct tool to approximatehidden layer distributions. The ndings of this thesis reect the informationvariations in each layer during the training, which might contribute to selectingtransmission parameter congurations in each frame in wireless communicationsystems. / Ä ven om djupa neuronnät (DNN) har gjort anmärkningsvärda framsteg på olikaområden, finns det fortfarande ingen matchande praktisk teori som kan förklara DNNs prestanda. Tishby (2015) föreslog en ny insikt att analysera DNN via informationsflaskhack (IB) -metoden. Genom att visualisera hur mycket relevant information varje lager innehåller i ingång och utgång, hävdade han att DNNs träning består av monteringsfas och kompressionsfas. Monteringsfasenär när DNN lär sig information både i ingång och utgång, och prediktionsnoggrannheten ökar under denna process. Efteråt är det kompressionsfasen när information i utgången bevaras medan orelaterad information i ingången kastas bort. Det här är en kompromiss mellan nätkomplexiteten (komplicerade DNN förlorar mindre information i inmatning) och predictionsnoggrannhet, vilket är exakt samma mål med informationsflaskhals (IB) -metoden.I detta examensarbete kontrollerar vi denna IB-framställning först genom att implementera om Tishby’s arbete, där den dolda lagerfördelningen approximeras av histogrammet (binning). Dessutom introducerar vi olika metoder förömsesidig information uppskattning som kernel density estimators. Baserat på simuleringsresultatet drar vi slutsatsen att det finns en optimal bindning för denömsesidiga informationen mellan dolda lager med ingång och utgång. Men komprimeringen sker huvudsakligen när aktiveringsfunktionen är “dubbelmättad”, som hyperbolisk tangentfunktion.Dessutom utvidgar vi arbetet till den simulerad trådlösa modellen där data set genereras av en trådlös systemsimulator. Resultaten visar att IB-framställning är sann, men binningen är inte ett korrekt verktyg för att approximera dolda lagerfördelningar. Resultatet av denna examensarbete reflekterar informationsvariationerna i varje lager, vilket kan bidra till att välja överföringspa-rameterns konfigurationer i varje ram i trådlösa kommunikationssystem

Study of augmentations on historical manuscripts using TrOCRMeoded, Erez 08 December 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Historical manuscripts are an essential source of original content. For many reasons, it is hard to recognize these manuscripts as text. This thesis used a state-of-the-art Handwritten Text Recognizer, TrOCR, to recognize a 16th-century manuscript. TrOCR uses a vision transformer to encode the input images and a language transformer to decode them back to text. We showed that carefully preprocessed images and designed augmentations can improve the performance of TrOCR. We suggest an ensemble of augmented models to achieve an even better performance.

Indoor scene verification : Evaluation of indoor scene representations for the purpose of location verification / Verifiering av inomhusbilder : Bedömning av en inomhusbilder framställda i syfte att genomföra platsverifieringFinfando, Filip January 2020 (has links)
When human’s visual system is looking at two pictures taken in some indoor location, it is fairly easy to tell whether they were taken in exactly the same place, even when the location has never been visited in reality. It is possible due to being able to pay attention to the multiple factors such as spatial properties (windows shape, room shape), common patterns (floor, walls) or presence of specific objects (furniture, lighting). Changes in camera pose, illumination, furniture location or digital alteration of the image (e.g. watermarks) has little influence on this ability. Traditional approaches to measuring the perceptual similarity of images struggled to reproduce this skill. This thesis defines the Indoor scene verification (ISV) problem as distinguishing whether two indoor scene images were taken in the same indoor space or not. It explores the capabilities of state-of-the-art perceptual similarity metrics by introducing two new datasets designed specifically for this problem. Perceptual hashing, ORB, FaceNet and NetVLAD are evaluated as the baseline candidates. The results show that NetVLAD provides the best results on both datasets and therefore is chosen as the baseline for the experiments aiming to improve it. Three of them are carried out testing the impact of using the different training dataset, changing deep neural network architecture and introducing new loss function. Quantitative analysis of AUC score shows that switching from VGG16 to MobileNetV2 allows for improvement over the baseline. / Med mänskliga synförmågan är det ganska lätt att bedöma om två bilder som tas i samma inomhusutrymme verkligen har tagits i exakt samma plats även om man aldrig har varit där. Det är möjligt tack vare många faktorer, sådana som rumsliga egenskaper (fönsterformer, rumsformer), gemensamma mönster (golv, väggar) eller närvaro av särskilda föremål (möbler, ljus). Ändring av kamerans placering, belysning, möblernas placering eller digitalbildens förändring (t. ex. vattenstämpel) påverkar denna förmåga minimalt. Traditionella metoder att mäta bildernas perceptuella likheter hade svårigheter att reproducera denna färdighet . Denna uppsats definierar verifiering av inomhusbilder, Indoor SceneVerification (ISV), som en ansats att ta reda på om två inomhusbilder har tagits i samma utrymme eller inte. Studien undersöker de främsta perceptuella identitetsfunktionerna genom att introducera två nya datauppsättningar designade särskilt för detta. Perceptual hash, ORB, FaceNet och NetVLAD identifierades som potentiella referenspunkter. Resultaten visar att NetVLAD levererar de bästa resultaten i båda datauppsättningarna, varpå de valdes som referenspunkter till undersökningen i syfte att förbättra det. Tre experiment undersöker påverkan av användning av olika datauppsättningar, ändring av struktur i neuronnätet och införande av en ny minskande funktion. Kvantitativ AUC-värdet analys visar att ett byte frånVGG16 till MobileNetV2 tillåter förbättringar i jämförelse med de primära lösningarna.

Characterization and Optimization of Perception Deep Neural Networks on the Edge for Connected Autonomous VehiclesTang, Sihai 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation presents novel approaches to optimizing convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) workload on edge, tailored to surmount the challenges inherent in cooperative perception under the stringent resource constraints of edge devices (an endpoint on the network, the interface between the data center and the real world). Employing a modular methodology, this research utilizes the insights from granular examination of CAV perception workloads on edge platforms, identifying and analyzing critical bottlenecks. Through memory contention-aware neural architecture search (NAS), coupled with multi-objective optimization (MOO) and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), this work dynamically optimizes CNN architectures, focusing on reducing memory cost, layer configuration and parameter optimization to reach set hardware constraints whilst maintaining a target precision performance. The results of this exploration are significant, achieving a 63% reduction in memory usage while maintaining a precision rate above 80% for CAV relevant object classes. This dissertation makes novel contributions to the field of edge computing in CAVs, offering a scalable and automated pipeline framework for dynamically obtaining an optimized model for given constraints, thus enabling CAV workloads on edge. In future research, this dissertation also opens multiple different venues for areas of integration. The modular aspect of the pipeline allows for security, privacy, scalability, and energy constraints to be added natively. Through detailed layer by layer analysis and refinement, this dissertation can ensure that CAVs can fully utilize any suitable edge device for the workload requested to realize autonomous driving for everyone.

Efficient Continual Learning in Deep Neural NetworksGobinda Saha (18512919) 07 May 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Humans exhibit remarkable ability in continual adaptation and learning new tasks throughout their lifetime while maintaining the knowledge gained from past experiences. In stark contrast, artificial neural networks (ANNs) under such continual learning (CL) paradigm forget the information learned in the past tasks upon learning new ones. This phenomenon is known as ‘Catastrophic Forgetting’ or ‘Catastrophic Interference’. The objective of this thesis is to enable efficient continual learning in deep neural networks while mitigating this forgetting phenomenon. Towards this, first, a continual learning algorithm (SPACE) is proposed where a subset of network filters or neurons is allocated for each task using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Such task-specific network isolation not only ensures zero forgetting but also creates structured sparsity in the network which enables energy-efficient inference. Second, a fast and more efficient training algorithm for CL is proposed by introducing Gradient Projection Memory (GPM). Here, the most important gradient spaces (GPM) for each task are computed using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and the new tasks are learned in the orthogonal direction to GPM to minimize forgetting. Third, to improve new learning while minimizing forgetting, a Scaled Gradient Projection (SGP) method is proposed that, in addition to orthogonal gradient updates, allows scaled updates along the important gradient spaces of the past task. Next, for continual learning on an online stream of tasks a memory efficient experience replay method is proposed. This method utilizes saliency maps explaining network’s decision for selecting memories that are replayed during new tasks for preventing forgetting. Finally, a meta-learning based continual learner - Amphibian - is proposed that achieves fast online continual learning without any experience replay. All the algorithms are evaluated on short and long sequences of tasks from standard image-classification datasets. Overall, the methods proposed in this thesis address critical limitations of DNNs for continual learning and advance the state-of-the-art in this domain.</p>

CONTRIBUTIONS TO EFFICIENT AUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION OF VIDEO LECTURESAgua Teba, Miguel Ángel del 04 November 2019 (has links)
Tesis por compendio / [ES] Durante los últimos años, los repositorios multimedia en línea se han convertido
en fuentes clave de conocimiento gracias al auge de Internet, especialmente en
el área de la educación. Instituciones educativas de todo el mundo han dedicado
muchos recursos en la búsqueda de nuevos métodos de enseñanza, tanto para
mejorar la asimilación de nuevos conocimientos, como para poder llegar a una
audiencia más amplia. Como resultado, hoy en día disponemos de diferentes
repositorios con clases grabadas que siven como herramientas complementarias en
la enseñanza, o incluso pueden asentar una nueva base en la enseñanza a
distancia. Sin embargo, deben cumplir con una serie de requisitos para que la
experiencia sea totalmente satisfactoria y es aquí donde la transcripción de los
materiales juega un papel fundamental. La transcripción posibilita una búsqueda
precisa de los materiales en los que el alumno está interesado, se abre la
puerta a la traducción automática, a funciones de recomendación, a la
generación de resumenes de las charlas y además, el poder hacer
llegar el contenido a personas con discapacidades auditivas. No obstante, la
generación de estas transcripciones puede resultar muy costosa.
Con todo esto en mente, la presente tesis tiene como objetivo proporcionar
nuevas herramientas y técnicas que faciliten la transcripción de estos
repositorios. En particular, abordamos el desarrollo de un conjunto de herramientas
de reconocimiento de automático del habla, con énfasis en las técnicas de aprendizaje
profundo que contribuyen a proporcionar transcripciones precisas en casos de
estudio reales. Además, se presentan diferentes participaciones en competiciones
internacionales donde se demuestra la competitividad del software comparada con
otras soluciones. Por otra parte, en aras de mejorar los sistemas de
reconocimiento, se propone una nueva técnica de adaptación de estos sistemas al
interlocutor basada en el uso Medidas de Confianza. Esto además motivó el
desarrollo de técnicas para la mejora en la estimación de este tipo de medidas
por medio de Redes Neuronales Recurrentes.
Todas las contribuciones presentadas se han probado en diferentes repositorios
educativos. De hecho, el toolkit transLectures-UPV es parte de un conjunto de
herramientas que sirve para generar transcripciones de clases en diferentes
universidades e instituciones españolas y europeas. / [CA] Durant els últims anys, els repositoris multimèdia en línia s'han convertit

molts recursos en la recerca de nous mètodes d'ensenyament, tant per
millorar l'assimilació de nous coneixements, com per poder arribar a una
audiència més àmplia. Com a resultat, avui dia disposem de diferents
repositoris amb classes gravades que serveixen com a eines complementàries en
l'ensenyament, o fins i tot poden assentar una nova base a l'ensenyament a
distància. No obstant això, han de complir amb una sèrie de requisits perquè la
experiència siga totalment satisfactòria i és ací on la transcripció dels

més, es presenten diferents participacions en competicions internacionals on es
demostra la competitivitat del programari comparada amb altres solucions.

nova tècnica d'adaptació d'aquests sistemes a l'interlocutor basada en l'ús de
Mesures de Confiança. A més, això va motivar el desenvolupament de tècniques per
a la millora en l'estimació d'aquest tipus de mesures per mitjà de Xarxes

Totes les contribucions presentades s'han provat en diferents repositoris

knowledge assets thanks to the rise of Internet and especially in the area of
education. Educational institutions around the world have devoted big efforts
to explore different teaching methods, to improve the transmission of knowledge
and to reach a wider audience. As a result, online video lecture repositories
are now available and serve as complementary tools that can boost the learning
experience to better assimilate new concepts. In order to guarantee the success
of these repositories the transcription of each lecture plays a very important
role because it constitutes the first step towards the availability of many other
features. This transcription allows the searchability of learning materials,
enables the translation into another languages, provides recommendation
functions, gives the possibility to provide content summaries, guarantees
the access to people with hearing disabilities, etc. However, the
transcription of these videos is expensive in terms of time and human cost.
To this purpose, this thesis aims at providing new tools and techniques that
ease the transcription of these repositories. In particular, we address the
development of a complete Automatic Speech Recognition Toolkit with an special
focus on the Deep Learning techniques that contribute to provide accurate
transcriptions in real-world scenarios. This toolkit is tested against many
other in different international competitions showing comparable transcription
quality. Moreover, a new technique to improve the recognition accuracy has been
proposed which makes use of Confidence Measures, and constitutes the spark that
motivated the proposal of new Confidence Measures techniques that helped to
further improve the transcription quality. To this end, a new speaker-adapted
confidence measure approach was proposed for models based on Recurrent Neural
Networks.
The contributions proposed herein have been tested in real-life scenarios in
different educational repositories. In fact, the transLectures-UPV toolkit is
part of a set of tools for providing video lecture transcriptions in many
different Spanish and European universities and institutions. / Agua Teba, MÁD. (2019). CONTRIBUTIONS TO EFFICIENT AUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION OF VIDEO LECTURES [Tesis doctoral]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/130198 / Compendio

From Historical Newspapers to Machine-Readable Data: The Origami OCR PipelineLiebl, Bernhard, Burghardt, Manuel 20 June 2024 (has links)
While historical newspapers recently have gained a lot of attention in the digital humanities, transforming them into machine-readable data by means of OCR poses some major challenges. In order
to address these challenges, we have developed an end-to-end OCR pipeline named Origami. This
pipeline is part of a current project on the digitization and quantitative analysis of the German
newspaper “Berliner Börsen-Zeitung” (BBZ), from 1872 to 1931. The Origami pipeline reuses existing open source OCR components and on top offers a new configurable architecture for layout
detection, a simple table recognition, a two-stage X-Y cut for reading order detection, and a new
robust implementation for document dewarping. In this paper we describe the different stages of the
workflow and discuss how they meet the above-mentioned challenges posed by historical newspapers.
