AbstractAs artificial intelligence and especially machine learning gained a lot of attention during the last few years, methods and models have been improving and are becoming easily applicable. This possibility was used to develop a quality prediction system using supervised machine learning methods in form of time series classification models to predict ovality in radial-axial ring rolling. Different preprocessing steps and model implementations have been used to improve quality prediction. A semi-supervised approach is used to improve the prediction and analyze, to what extend it can improve current research in machine learning for quality prediciton. Moreover, first research steps are taken towards a synthetic data generation within the radial-axial ring rolling domain using generative adversarial networks.

Fermentation is an age-old technique used to preserve food by restoring proper microbial balance. Boiled barley and nuruk are fermented for a short period to produce Shindari, a traditional beverage for the people of Jeju, South Korea. Shindari has been proven to be a drink of multiple health benefits if fermented for an optimal period. It is necessary to predict the ideal fermentation time required by each microbial community to keep the advantages of the microorganisms produced by the fermentation process in Shindari intact and to eliminate contamination. Prediction through machine learning requires past data but the process of obtaining fermentation data of Shindari is time consuming, expensive, and not easily available. Therefore, there is a need to generate synthetic fermentation data to explore various benefits of the drink and to reduce any risk from overfermentation. In this paper, we propose a model that takes incomplete tabular fermentation data of Shindari as input and uses multiple imputation ensemble (MIE) and generative adversarial networks (GAN) to generate synthetic fermentation data that can be later used for prediction and microbial spoilage control. For multiple imputation, we used multivariate imputation by chained equations and random forest imputation, and ensembling was done using the bagging and stacking method. For generating synthetic data, we remodeled the tabular GAN with skip connections and adapted the architecture of Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty. We compared the performance of our model with other imputation and ensemble models using various evaluation metrics and visual representations. Our GAN model could overcome the mode collapse problem and converged at a faster rate than existing GAN models for synthetic data generation. Experiment results show that our proposed model executes with less error, is more accurate, and generates significantly better synthetic fermentation data compared to other models.

Synthetic data provides a privacy protecting mechanism for the broad usage and sharing of healthcare data for secondary purposes. It is considered a safe approach for the sharing of sensitive data as it generates an artificial dataset that contains no identifiable information. Synthetic data is increasing in popularity with multiple synthetic data generators developed in the past decade, yet its utility is still a subject of research. This paper is concerned with evaluating the effect of various synthetic data generation and usage settings on the utility of the generated synthetic data and its derived models. Specifically, we investigate (i) the effect of data pre-processing on the utility of the synthetic data generated, (ii) whether tuning should be applied to the synthetic datasets when generating supervised machine learning models, and (iii) whether sharing preliminary machine learning results can improve the synthetic data models. Lastly, (iv) we investigate whether one utility measure (Propensity score) can predict the accuracy of the machine learning models generated from the synthetic data when employed in real life. We use two popular measures of synthetic data utility, propensity score and classification accuracy, to compare the different settings. We adopt a recent mechanism for the calculation of propensity, which looks carefully into the choice of model for the propensity score calculation. Accordingly, this paper takes a new direction with investigating the effect of various data generation and usage settings on the quality of the generated data and its ensuing models. The goal is to inform on the best strategies to follow when generating and using synthetic data.

The intrusion detection of railway clearance is crucial for avoiding railway accidents caused by the invasion of abnormal objects, such as pedestrians, falling rocks, and animals. However, detecting intrusions using deep learning methods from infrared images captured at night remains a challenging task because of the lack of sufficient training samples. To address this issue, a transfer strategy that migrates daytime RGB images to the nighttime style of infrared images is proposed in this study. The proposed method consists of two stages. In the first stage, a data generation model is trained on the basis of generative adversarial networks using RGB images and a small number of infrared images, and then, synthetic samples are generated using a well-trained model. In the second stage, a single shot multibox detector (SSD) model is trained using synthetic data and utilized to detect abnormal objects from infrared images at nighttime. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, two groups of experiments, namely, railway and non-railway scenes, are conducted. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and an improvement of 17.8% is achieved for object detection at nighttime.

Wildfires are becoming more frequent in different parts of the globe, and the ability to predict when and where they will occur is a complex process. Identifying wildfire events with high probability of becoming a large wildfire is an important task for supporting initial attack planning. Different methods, including those that are physics-based, statistical, and based on machine learning (ML) are used in wildfire analysis. Among the whole, those based on machine learning are relatively novel. In addition, because the number of wildfires is much greater than the number of large wildfires, the dataset to be used in a ML model is imbalanced, resulting in overfitting or underfitting the results. In this manuscript, we propose to generate synthetic data from variables of interest together with ML models for the prediction of large wildfires. Specifically, five synthetic data generation methods have been evaluated, and their results are analyzed with four ML methods. The results yield an improvement in the prediction power when synthetic data are used, offering a new method to be taken into account in Decision Support Systems (DSS) when managing wildfires.

Generation of synthetic data is a challenging task. There are only a few significant works on RGB video generation and no pertinent works on RGB-D data generation. In the present work, we focus our attention on synthesizing RGB-D data which can further be used as dataset for various applications like object tracking, gesture recognition, and action recognition. This paper has put forward a proposal for a novel architecture that uses conditional deep 3D-convolutional generative adversarial networks to synthesize RGB-D data by exploiting 3D spatio-temporal convolutional framework. The proposed architecture can be used to generate virtually unlimited data. In this work, we have presented the architecture to generate RGB-D data conditioned on class labels. In the architecture, two parallel paths were used, one to generate RGB data and the second to synthesize depth map. The output from the two parallel paths is combined to generate RGB-D data. The proposed model is used for video generation at 30 fps (frames per second). The frame referred here is an RGB-D with the spatial resolution of 512 × 512.

Abstract The generation of synthetic data is becoming a fundamental task in the daily life of any organization due to the new protection data laws that are emerging. Because of the rise in the use of Artificial Intelligence, one of the most recent proposals to address this problem is the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These types of networks have demonstrated a great capacity to create synthetic data with very good performance. The goal of synthetic data generation is to create data that will perform similarly to the original dataset for many analysis tasks, such as classification. The problem of GANs is that in a classification problem, GANs do not take class labels into account when generating new data, it is treated as any other attribute. This research work has focused on the creation of new synthetic data from datasets with different characteristics with a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). CGANs are an extension of GANs where the class label is taken into account when the new data is generated. The performance of our results has been measured in two different ways: firstly, by comparing the results obtained with classification algorithms, both in the original datasets and in the data generated; secondly, by checking that the correlation between the original data and those generated is minimal.
