Semi-supervised Learning for Real-world Object Recognition using Adversarial AutoencodersMittal, Sudhanshu January 2017 (has links)
For many real-world applications, labeled data can be costly to obtain. Semi-supervised learning methods make use of substantially available unlabeled data along with few labeled samples. Most of the latest work on semi-supervised learning for image classification show performance on standard machine learning datasets like MNIST, SVHN, etc. In this work, we propose a convolutional adversarial autoencoder architecture for real-world data. We demonstrate the application of this architecture for semi-supervised object recognition. We show that our approach can learn from limited labeled data and outperform fully-supervised CNN baseline method by about 4% on real-world datasets. We also achieve competitive performance on the MNIST dataset compared to state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning techniques. To spur research in this direction, we compiled two real-world datasets: Internet (WIS) dataset and Real-world (RW) dataset which consists of more than 20K labeled samples each, comprising of small household objects belonging to ten classes. We also show a possible application of this method for online learning in robotics. / I de flesta verklighetsbaserade tillämpningar kan det vara kostsamt att erhålla märkt data. Inlärningsmetoder som är semi-övervakade använder sig oftast i stor utsträckning av omärkt data med stöd av en liten mängd märkt data. Mycket av det senaste arbetet inom semiövervakade inlärningsmetoder för bildklassificering visar prestanda på standardiserad maskininlärning så som MNIST, SVHN, och så vidare. I det här arbetet föreslår vi en convolutional adversarial autoencoder arkitektur för verklighetsbaserad data. Vi demonstrerar tillämpningen av denna arkitektur för semi-övervakad objektidentifiering och visar att vårt tillvägagångssätt kan lära sig av ett begränsat antal märkt data. Därmed överträffar vi den fullt övervakade CNN-baslinjemetoden med ca. 4% på verklighetsbaserade datauppsättningar. Vi uppnår även konkurrenskraftig prestanda på MNIST datauppsättningen jämfört med moderna semi-övervakade inlärningsmetoder. För att stimulera forskningen i den här riktningen, samlade vi två verklighetsbaserade datauppsättningar: Internet (WIS) och Real-world (RW) datauppsättningar, som består av mer än 20 000 märkta prov vardera, som utgörs av små hushållsobjekt tillhörandes tio klasser. Vi visar också en möjlig tillämpning av den här metoden för online-inlärning i robotik.

Efficient Edge Intelligence in the Era of Big DataWong, Jun Hua 08 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Smart wearables, known as emerging paradigms for vital big data capturing, have been attracting intensive attentions. However, one crucial problem is their power-hungriness, i.e., the continuous data streaming consumes energy dramatically and requires devices to be frequently charged. Targeting this obstacle, we propose to investigate the biodynamic patterns in the data and design a data-driven approach for intelligent data compression. We leverage Deep Learning (DL), more specifically, Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE), to learn a sparse representation of the vital big data. The minimized energy need, even taking into consideration the CAE-induced overhead, is tremendously lower than the original energy need. Further, compared with state-of-the-art wavelet compression-based method, our method can compress the data with a dramatically lower error for a similar energy budget. Our experiments and the validated approach are expected to boost the energy efficiency of wearables, and thus greatly advance ubiquitous big data applications in era of smart health.
In recent years, there has also been a growing interest in edge intelligence for emerging instantaneous big data inference. However, the inference algorithms, especially deep learning, usually require heavy computation requirements, thereby greatly limiting their deployment on the edge. We take special interest in the smart health wearable big data mining and inference. Targeting the deep learning’s high computational complexity and large memory and energy requirements, new approaches are urged to make the deep learning algorithms ultra-efficient for wearable big data analysis. We propose to leverage knowledge distillation to achieve an ultra-efficient edge-deployable deep learning model. More specifically, through transferring the knowledge from a teacher model to the on-edge student model, the soft target distribution of the teacher model can be effectively learned by the student model. Besides, we propose to further introduce adversarial robustness to the student model, by stimulating the student model to correctly identify inputs that have adversarial perturbation. Experiments demonstrate that the knowledge distillation student model has comparable performance to the heavy teacher model but owns a substantially smaller model size. With adversarial learning, the student model has effectively preserved its robustness. In such a way, we have demonstrated the framework with knowledge distillation and adversarial learning can, not only advance ultra-efficient edge inference, but also preserve the robustness facing the perturbed input. / 2023-06-01

Sign of the Times : Unmasking Deep Learning for Time Series Anomaly Detection / Skyltarna på Tiden : Avslöjande av djupinlärning för detektering av anomalier i tidsserierRichards Ravi Arputharaj, Daniel January 2023 (has links)
Time series anomaly detection has been a longstanding area of research with applications across various domains. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in applying deep learning models to this problem domain. This thesis presents a critical examination of the efficacy of deep learning models in comparison to classical approaches for time series anomaly detection. Contrary to the widespread belief in the superiority of deep learning models, our research findings suggest that their performance may be misleading and the progress illusory. Through rigorous experimentation and evaluation, we reveal that classical models outperform deep learning counterparts in various scenarios, challenging the prevailing assumptions. In addition to model performance, our study delves into the intricacies of evaluation metrics commonly employed in time series anomaly detection. We uncover how it inadvertently inflates the performance scores of models, potentially leading to misleading conclusions. By identifying and addressing these issues, our research contributes to providing valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers in the field of time series anomaly detection, encouraging a critical reevaluation of the role of deep learning models and the metrics used to assess their performance. / Tidsperiods avvikelsedetektering har varit ett långvarigt forskningsområde med tillämpningar inom olika områden. Under de senaste åren har det uppstått ett ökat intresse för att tillämpa djupinlärningsmodeller på detta problemområde. Denna avhandling presenterar en kritisk granskning av djupinlärningsmodellers effektivitet jämfört med klassiska metoder för tidsperiods avvikelsedetektering. I motsats till den allmänna övertygelsen om överlägsenheten hos djupinlärningsmodeller tyder våra forskningsresultat på att deras prestanda kan vara vilseledande och framsteg illusoriskt. Genom rigorös experimentell utvärdering avslöjar vi att klassiska modeller överträffar djupinlärningsalternativ i olika scenarier och därmed utmanar de rådande antagandena. Utöver modellprestanda går vår studie in på detaljerna kring utvärderings-metoder som oftast används inom tidsperiods avvikelsedetektering. Vi avslöjar hur dessa oavsiktligt överdriver modellernas prestandapoäng och kan därmed leda till vilseledande slutsatser. Genom att identifiera och åtgärda dessa problem bidrar vår forskning till att erbjuda värdefulla insikter för forskare, praktiker och beslutsfattare inom området tidsperiods avvikelsedetektering, och uppmanar till en kritisk omvärdering av djupinlärningsmodellers roll och de metoder som används för att bedöma deras prestanda.

A New Approach to Synthetic Image EvaluationMemari, Majid 01 December 2023 (has links) (PDF)
This study is dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems, with a special emphasis on Arabic handwritten digit recognition. The choice to focus on Arabic handwritten digits is twofold: first, there has been relatively less research conducted in this area compared to its English counterparts; second, the recognition of Arabic handwritten digits presents more challenges due to the inherent similarities between different Arabic digits.OCR systems, engineered to decipher both printed and handwritten text, often face difficulties in accurately identifying low-quality or distorted handwritten text. The quality of the input image and the complexity of the text significantly influence their performance. However, data augmentation strategies can notably improve these systems' performance. These strategies generate new images that closely resemble the original ones, albeit with minor variations, thereby enriching the model's learning and enhancing its adaptability. The research found Conditional Variational Autoencoders (C-VAE) and Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (C-GAN) to be particularly effective in this context. These two generative models stand out due to their superior image generation and feature extraction capabilities. A significant contribution of the study has been the formulation of the Synthetic Image Evaluation Procedure, a systematic approach designed to evaluate and amplify the generative models' image generation abilities. This procedure facilitates the extraction of meaningful features, computation of the Fréchet Inception Distance (LFID) score, and supports hyper-parameter optimization and model modifications.

Interpreting Shift Encoders as State Space models for Stationary Time SeriesDonkoh, Patrick 01 May 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Time series analysis is a statistical technique used to analyze sequential data points collected or recorded over time. While traditional models such as autoregressive models and moving average models have performed sufficiently for time series analysis, the advent of artificial neural networks has provided models that have suggested improved performance. In this research, we provide a custom neural network; a shift encoder that can capture the intricate temporal patterns of time series data. We then compare the sparse matrix of the shift encoder to the parameters of the autoregressive model and observe the similarities. We further explore how we can replace the state matrix in a state-space model with the sparse matrix of the shift encoder.

Unsupervised Learning for Efficient UnderwritingDalla Torre, Elena January 2024 (has links)
In the field of actuarial science, statistical methods have been extensively studied toestimate the risk of insurance. These methods are good at estimating the risk of typicalinsurance policies, as historical data is available. However, their performance can be pooron unique insurance policies, which require the manual assessment of an underwriter. Aclassification of insurance policies on a unique/typical scale would help insurance companiesallocate manual resources more efficiently and validate the goodness of fit of thepricing models on unique objects. The aim of this thesis is to use outlier detection methodsto identify unique non-life insurance policies. The many categorical nominal variablespresent in insurance policy data sets represent a challenge when applying outlier detectionmethods. Therefore, we also explore different ways to derive informative numericalrepresentations of categorical nominal variables. First, as a baseline, we use the principalcomponent analysis of mixed data to find a numerical representation of categorical nominalvariables and the principal component analysis to identify unique insurances. Then,we see whether better performance can be achieved using autoencoders which can capturecomplex non-linearities. In particular, we learn a numerical representation of categoricalnominal variables using the encoder layer of an autoencoder, and we use a different autoencoderto identify unique insurances. Since we are in an unsupervised setting, the twomethods are compared by performing a simulation study and using the NLS-KDD dataset. The analysis shows autoencoders are superior at identifying unique objects than principalcomponent analysis. We conclude that the ability of autoencoders to model complexnon-linearities between the variables allows for this class of methods to achieve superiorperformance.

Optimisation of autoencoders for prediction of SNPs determining phenotypes in wheatNair, Karthik January 2021 (has links)
The increase in demand for food has resulted in increased demand for tools that help streamline plant breeding process in order to create new varieties of crops. Identifying the underlying genetic mechanism of favourable characteristics is essential in order to make the best breeding decisions. In this project we have developed a modified autoencoder model which allows for lateral phenotype injection into the latent layer, in order to identify causal SNPs for phenotypes of interest in wheat. SNP and phenotype data for 500 samples of Lantmännen SW Seed provided by Lantmännen was used to train the network. Artificial phenotype created using a single SNP was used during training instead of real phenotype, since the relationship between the phenotype and SNP is already known. The modified training model with lateral phenotype injection showed significant increase in genotype concordance of the artificial phenotype when compared to the control model without phenotype injection. Causal SNP was successfully identified by using concordance terrain graph, where the difference in concordance of individual SNPs between the modified modified model and control model was plotted against the genomic position of each SNP. The model requires further testing to elucidate its behaviour for phenotypes linked to multiple SNPs.

Fault Detection and Diagnosis for Automotive Camera using Unsupervised Learning / Feldetektering och Diagnostik för Bilkamera med Oövervakat LärandeLi, Ziyou January 2023 (has links)
This thesis aims to investigate a fault detection and diagnosis system for automotive cameras using unsupervised learning. 1) Can a front-looking wide-angle camera image dataset be created using Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulations? 2) Can an Adversarial Autoencoder (AAE) based unsupervised camera fault detection and diagnosis method be crafted for SPA2 Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) using an image dataset created using Hardware-inLoop? 3) Does using AAE surpass the performance of using Variational Autoencoder (VAE) for the unsupervised automotive camera fault diagnosis model? In the field of camera fault studies, automotive cameras stand out for its complex operational context, particularly in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications. The literature review finds a notable gap in comprehensive image datasets addressing the image artefact spectrum of ADAS-equipped automotive cameras under real-world driving conditions. In this study, normal and fault scenarios for automotive cameras are defined leveraging published and company studies and a fault diagnosis model using unsupervised learning is proposed and examined. The types of image faults defined and included are Lens Flare, Gaussian Noise and Dead Pixels. Along with normal driving images, a balanced fault-injected image dataset is collected using real-time sensor simulation under driving scenario with industrially-recognised HIL setup. An AAE-based unsupervised automotive camera fault diagnosis system using VGG16 as encoder-decoder structure is proposed and experiments on its performance are conducted on both the selfcollected dataset and fault-injected KITTI raw images. For non-processed KITTI dataset, morphological operations are examined and are employed as preprocessing. The performance of the system is discussed in comparison to supervised and unsupervised image partition methods in related works. The research found that the AAE method outperforms popular VAE method, using VGG16 as encoder-decoder structure significantly using 3-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and ResNet18 and morphological preprocessings significantly ameliorate system performance. The best performing VGG16- AAE model achieves 62.7% accuracy to diagnosis on own dataset, and 86.4% accuracy on double-erosion-processed fault-injected KITTI dataset. In conclusion, this study introduced a novel scheme for collecting automotive sensor data using Hardware-in-Loop, utilised preprocessing techniques that enhance image partitioning and examined the application of unsupervised models for diagnosing faults in automotive cameras. / Denna avhandling syftar till att undersöka ett felupptäcknings- och diagnossystem för bilkameror med hjälp av oövervakad inlärning. De huvudsakliga forskningsfrågorna är om en bilduppsättning från en frontmonterad vidvinkelkamera kan skapas med hjälp av Hardware-in-Loop (HIL)-simulationer, om en Adversarial Autoencoder (AAE)-baserad metod för oövervakad felupptäckt och diagnos för SPA2 Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) kan utformas med en bilduppsättning skapad med Hardware-in-Loop, och om användningen av AAE skulle överträffa prestandan av att använda Variational Autoencoder (VAE) för den oövervakade modellen för felanalys i bilkameror. Befintliga studier om felanalys fokuserar på roterande maskiner, luftbehandlingsenheter och järnvägsfordon. Få studier undersöker definitionen av feltyper i bilkameror och klassificerar normala och felaktiga bilddata från kameror i kommersiella passagerarfordon. I denna studie definieras normala och felaktiga scenarier för bilkameror och en modell för felanalys med oövervakad inlärning föreslås och undersöks. De typer av bildfel som definieras är Lens Flare, Gaussiskt brus och Döda pixlar. Tillsammans med normala bilder samlas en balanserad uppsättning felinjicerade bilder in med hjälp av realtidssensor-simulering under körscenarier med industriellt erkänd HIL-uppsättning. Ett AAE-baserat system för oövervakad felanalys i bilkameror med VGG16 som kodaredekoderstruktur föreslås och experiment på dess prestanda genomförs både på den självinsamlade uppsättningen och felinjicerade KITTI-raw-bilder. För icke-behandlade KITTI-uppsättningar undersöks morfologiska operationer och används som förbehandling. Systemets prestanda diskuteras i jämförelse med övervakade och oövervakade bildpartitioneringsmetoder i relaterade arbeten. Forskningen fann att AAE-metoden överträffar den populära VAEmetoden, genom att använda VGG16 som kodare-dekoderstruktur signifikant med ett 3-lagers konvolutionellt neuralt nätverk (CNN) och ResNet18 och morfologiska förbehandlingar förbättrar systemets prestanda avsevärt. Den bäst presterande VGG16-AAE-modellen uppnår 62,7 % noggrannhet för diagnos på egen uppsättning, och 86,4 % noggrannhet på dubbelerosionsbehandlad felinjicerad KITTI-uppsättning. Sammanfattningsvis introducerade denna studie ett nytt system för insamling av data från bilsensorer med Hardware-in-Loop, utnyttjade förbehandlingstekniker som förbättrar bildpartitionering och undersökte tillämpningen av oövervakade modeller för att diagnostisera fel i bilkameror.

Machine Learning to Detect Anomalies in the Welding Process to Support Additive ManufacturingDasari, Vinod Kumar January 2021 (has links)
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing technology in manufacturing industries. Applications of AM are spread across a wide range of fields. The aerospace industry is one of the industries that use AM because of its ability to produce light-weighted components and design freedom. Since the aerospace industry is conservative, quality control and quality assurance are essential. The quality of the welding is one of the factors that determine the quality of the AM components, hence, detecting faults in the welding is crucial. In this thesis, an automated system for detecting the faults in the welding process is presented. For this, three methods are proposed to find the anomalies in the process. The process videos that contain weld melt-pool behaviour are used in the methods. The three methods are 1) Autoencoder method, 2) Variational Autoencoder method, and 3) Image Classification method. Methods 1 and 2 are implemented using Convolutional-Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks to capture anomalies that occur over a span of time. For this, instead of a single image, a sequence of images is used as input to track abnormal behaviour by identifying the dependencies among the images. The method training to detect anomalies is unsupervised. Method 3 is implemented using Convolutional Neural Networks, and it takes a single image as input and predicts the process image as stable or unstable. The method learning is supervised. The results show that among the three models, the Variational Autoencoder model performed best in our case for detecting the anomalies. In addition, it is observed that in methods 1 and 2, the sequence length and frames retrieved per second from process videos has effect on model performance. Furthermore, it is observed that considering the time dependencies in our case is very beneficial as the difference between the anomalous and the non anomalous process is very small
