ABSTRACT Creating a data base of 21 cm brightness temperature signals from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) for an array of reionization histories is a complex and computationally expensive task, given the range of astrophysical processes involved and the possibly high-dimensional parameter space that is to be probed. We utilize a specific type of neural network, a progressively growing generative adversarial network (PGGAN), to produce realistic tomography images of the 21 cm brightness temperature during the EoR, covering a continuous three-dimensional parameter space that models varying X-ray emissivity, Lyman band emissivity, and ratio between hard and soft X-rays. The GPU-trained network generates new samples at a resolution of ∼3 arcmin in a second (on a laptop CPU), and the resulting global 21 cm signal, power spectrum, and pixel distribution function agree well with those of the training data, taken from the 21SSD catalogue (Semelin et al.). Finally, we showcase how a trained PGGAN can be leveraged for the converse task of inferring parameters from 21 cm tomography samples via Approximate Bayesian Computation.

The Deep Neural Networks have gained prominence in the biomedical domain, becoming the most commonly used networks after machine learning technology. Mammograms can be used to detect breast cancers with high precision with the help of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which is deep learning technology. An exhaustive labeled data is required to train the CNN from scratch. This can be overcome by deploying Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) which comparatively needs lesser training data during a mammogram screening. In the proposed study, the application of GANs in estimating breast density, high-resolution mammogram synthesis for clustered microcalcification analysis, effective segmentation of breast tumor, analysis of the shape of breast tumor, extraction of features and augmentation of the image during mammogram classification have been extensively reviewed.

This paper focuses on a fundamental question in Wi-Fi-based gesture recognition: "Can we use the knowledge learned from some users to perform gesture recognition for others?". This problem is also known as cross-target recognition. It arises in many practical deployments of Wi-Fi-based gesture recognition where it is prohibitively expensive to collect training data from every single user. We present CrossGR, a low-cost cross-target gesture recognition system. As a departure from existing approaches, CrossGR does not require prior knowledge (such as who is currently performing a gesture) of the target user. Instead, CrossGR employs a deep neural network to extract user-agnostic but gesture-related Wi-Fi signal characteristics to perform gesture recognition. To provide sufficient training data to build an effective deep learning model, CrossGR employs a generative adversarial network to automatically generate many synthetic training data from a small set of real-world examples collected from a small number of users. Such a strategy allows CrossGR to minimize the user involvement and the associated cost in collecting training examples for building an accurate gesture recognition system. We evaluate CrossGR by applying it to perform gesture recognition across 10 users and 15 gestures. Experimental results show that CrossGR achieves an accuracy of over 82.6% (up to 99.75%). We demonstrate that CrossGR delivers comparable recognition accuracy, but uses an order of magnitude less training samples collected from the end-users when compared to state-of-the-art recognition systems.

Electromagnetic Inverse Scattering

Abstract Electromagnetic inverse-scattering problems (ISPs) are concerned with determining the properties of an unknown object using measured scattered fields. ISPs are often highly nonlinear, causing the problem to be very difficult to address. In addition, the reconstruction images of different optimization methods are distorted which leads to inaccurate reconstruction results. To alleviate these issues, we propose a new linear model solution of generative adversarial network-based (LM-GAN) inspired by generative adversarial networks (GAN). Two sub-networks are trained alternately in the adversarial framework. A linear deep iterative network as a generative network captures the spatial distribution of the data, and a discriminative network estimates the probability of a sample from the training data. Numerical results validate that LM-GAN has admirable fidelity and accuracy when reconstructing complex scatterers.

The Impact

Underwater acoustic target recognition is an important aspect of underwater acoustic research. In recent years, machine learning has been developed continuously, which is widely and effectively applied in underwater acoustic target recognition. In order to acquire good recognition results and reduce the problem of overfitting, Adequate data sets are essential. However, underwater acoustic samples are relatively rare, which has a certain impact on recognition accuracy. In this paper, in addition of the traditional audio data augmentation method, a new method of data augmentation using generative adversarial network is proposed, which uses generator and discriminator to learn the characteristics of underwater acoustic samples, so as to generate reliable underwater acoustic signals to expand the training data set. The expanded data set is input into the deep neural network, and the transfer learning method is applied to further reduce the impact caused by small samples by fixing part of the pre-trained parameters. The experimental results show that the recognition result of this method is better than the general underwater acoustic recognition method, and the effectiveness of this method is verified.

Abstract. Degradation and damage detection provides essential information to maintenance workers in routine monitoring and to first responders in post-disaster scenarios. Despite advance in Earth Observation (EO), image analysis and deep learning techniques, the quality and quantity of training data for deep learning is still limited. As a result, no robust method has been found yet that can transfer and generalize well over a variety of geographic locations and typologies of damages. Since damages can be seen as anomalies, occurring sparingly over time and space, we propose to use an anomaly detecting Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to detect damages. The main advantages of using GANs are that only healthy unannotated images are needed, and that a variety of damages, including the never before seen damage, can be detected. In this study we aimed to investigate 1) the ability of anomaly detecting GANs to detect degradation (potholes and cracks) in asphalt road infrastructures using Mobile Mapper imagery and building damage (collapsed buildings, rubble piles) using post-disaster aerial imagery, and 2) the sensitivity of this method against various types of pre-processing. Our results show that we can detect damages in urban scenes at satisfying levels but not on asphalt roads. Future work will investigate how to further classify the found damages and how to improve damage detection for asphalt roads.

Abstract Injured extremities commonly need to be immobilized by casts to allow proper healing. We propose a method to suppress cast superimpositions in pediatric wrist radiographs based on the cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) model. We retrospectively reviewed unpaired pediatric wrist radiographs (n = 9672) and sampled them into 2 equal groups, with and without cast. The test subset consisted of 718 radiographs with cast. We evaluated different quadratic input sizes (256, 512, and 1024 pixels) for U-Net and ResNet-based CycleGAN architectures in cast suppression, quantitatively and qualitatively. The mean age was 11 ± 3 years in images containing cast (n = 4836), and 11 ± 4 years in castless samples (n = 4836). A total of 5956 X-rays had been done in males and 3716 in females. A U-Net 512 CycleGAN performed best (P ≤ .001). CycleGAN models successfully suppressed casts in pediatric wrist radiographs, allowing the development of a related software tool for radiology image viewers.

Dual Translation

Unsupervised domain translation has recently achieved impressive performance with Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and sufficient (unpaired) training data. However, existing domain translation frameworks form in a disposable way where the learning experiences are ignored and the obtained model cannot be adapted to a new coming domain. In this work, we take on unsupervised domain translation problems from a meta-learning perspective. We propose a model called Meta-Translation GAN (MT-GAN) to find good initialization of translation models. In the meta-training procedure, MT-GAN is explicitly trained with a primary translation task and a synthesized dual translation task. A cycle-consistency meta-optimization objective is designed to ensure the generalization ability. We demonstrate effectiveness of our model on ten diverse two-domain translation tasks and multiple face identity translation tasks. We show that our proposed approach significantly outperforms the existing domain translation methods when each domain contains no more than ten training samples.
