Implicit sentiment analysis is a challenging task because the sentiment of a text is expressed in a connotative manner. To tackle this problem, we propose to use textual events as a knowledge source to enrich network representations. To consider task interactions, we present a novel lightweight joint learning paradigm that can pass task-related messages between tasks during training iterations. This is distinct from previous methods that involve multi-task learning by simple parameter sharing. Besides, a human-annotated corpus with implicit sentiment labels and event labels is scarce, which hinders practical applications of deep neural models. Therefore, we further investigate a back-translation approach to expand training instances. Experiment results on a public benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of both the proposed multi-task architecture and data augmentation strategy.

Hydrocephalus is a common neurological condition that can have traumatic ramifications and can be lethal without treatment. Nowadays, during therapy radiologists have to spend a vast amount of time assessing the volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by manual segmentation on Computed Tomography (CT) images. Further, some of the segmentations are prone to radiologist bias and high intraobserver variability. To improve this, researchers are exploring methods to automate the process, which would enable faster and more unbiased results. In this study, we propose the application of U-Net convolutional neural network in order to automatically segment CT brain scans for location of CSF. U-Net is a neural network that has proven to be successful for various interdisciplinary segmentation tasks. We optimised training using state of the art methods, including “1cycle” learning rate policy, transfer learning, generalized dice loss function, mixed float precision, self-attention, and data augmentation. Even though the study was performed using a limited amount of data (80 CT images), our experiment has shown near human-level performance. We managed to achieve a 0.917 mean dice score with 0.0352 standard deviation on cross validation across the training data and a 0.9506 mean dice score on a separate test set. To our knowledge, these results are better than any known method for CSF segmentation in hydrocephalic patients, and thus, it is promising for potential practical applications.

The Olympic Games

Automatic event recognition in sports photos is both an interesting and valuable research topic in the field of computer vision and deep learning. With the rapid increase and the explosive spread of data, which is being captured momentarily, the need for fast and precise access to the right information has become a challenging task with considerable importance for multiple practical applications, i.e., sports image and video search, sport data analysis, healthcare monitoring applications, monitoring and surveillance systems for indoor and outdoor activities, and video captioning. In this paper, we evaluate different deep learning models in recognizing and interpreting the sport events in the Olympic Games. To this end, we collect a dataset dubbed Olympic Games Event Image Dataset (OGED) including 10 different sport events scheduled for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Then, the transfer learning is applied on three popular deep convolutional neural network architectures, namely, AlexNet, VGG-16 and ResNet-50 along with various data augmentation methods. Extensive experiments show that ResNet-50 with the proposed photobombing guided data augmentation achieves 90% in terms of accuracy.

The Impact

The scarcity of balanced and annotated datasets has been a recurring problem in medical image analysis. Several researchers have tried to fill this gap employing dataset synthesis with adversarial networks (GANs). Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides complex, texture-rich medical images, with the same annotation shortage issues, for which, to the best of our knowledge, no previous work tried synthesizing data. Within this context, our work addresses the problem of synthesizing breast MRI images from corresponding annotations and evaluate the impact of this data augmentation strategy on a semantic segmentation task. We explored variations of image-to-image translation using conditional GANs, namely fitting the generator’s architecture with residual blocks and experimenting with cycle consistency approaches. We studied the impact of these changes on visual verisimilarity and how an U-Net segmentation model is affected by the usage of synthetic data. We achieved sufficiently realistic-looking breast MRI images and maintained a stable segmentation score even when completely replacing the dataset with the synthetic set. Our results were promising, especially when concerning to Pix2PixHD and Residual CycleGAN architectures.

AbstractIn literature, the machine learning-based studies of sentiment analysis are usually supervised learning which must have pre-labeled datasets to be large enough in certain domains. Obviously, this task is tedious, expensive and time-consuming to build, and hard to handle unseen data. This paper has approached semi-supervised learning for Vietnamese sentiment analysis which has limited datasets. We have summarized many preprocessing techniques which were performed to clean and normalize data, negation handling, intensification handling to improve the performances. Moreover, data augmentation techniques, which generate new data from the original data to enrich training data without user intervention, have also been presented. In experiments, we have performed various aspects and obtained competitive results which may motivate the next propositions.
