Nowadays, and with the mechanization of life, speech processing has become so crucial for the interaction between humans and machines. Deep neural networks require a database with enough data for training. The more features are extracted from the speech signal, the more samples are needed to train these networks. Adequate training of these networks can be ensured when there is access to sufficient and varied data in each class. If there is not enough data; it is possible to use data augmentation methods to obtain a database with enough samples. One of the obstacles to developing speech emotion recognition systems is the Data sparsity problem in each class for neural network training. The current study has focused on making a cycle generative adversarial network for data augmentation in a system for speech emotion recognition. For each of the five emotions employed, an adversarial generating network is designed to generate data that is very similar to the main data in that class, as well as differentiate the emotions of the other classes. These networks are taught in an adversarial way to produce feature vectors like each class in the space of the main feature, and then they add to the training sets existing in the database to train the classifier network. Instead of using the common cross-entropy error to train generative adversarial networks and to remove the vanishing gradient problem, Wasserstein Divergence has been used to produce high-quality artificial samples. The suggested network has been tested to be applied for speech emotion recognition using EMODB as training, testing, and evaluating sets, and the quality of artificial data evaluated using two Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifiers. Moreover, it has been revealed that extracting and reproducing high-level features from acoustic features, speech emotion recognition with separating five primary emotions has been done with acceptable accuracy.

Effective Models

One of the greatest limitations in the field of EEG-based emotion recognition is the lack of training samples, which makes it difficult to establish effective models for emotion recognition. Inspired by the excellent achievements of generative models in image processing, we propose a data augmentation model named VAE-D2GAN for EEG-based emotion recognition using a generative adversarial network. EEG features representing different emotions are extracted as topological maps of differential entropy (DE) under five classical frequency bands. The proposed model is designed to learn the distributions of these features for real EEG signals and generate artificial samples for training. The variational auto-encoder (VAE) architecture can learn the spatial distribution of the actual data through a latent vector, and is introduced into the dual discriminator GAN to improve the diversity of the generated artificial samples. To evaluate the performance of this model, we conduct a systematic test on two public emotion EEG datasets, the SEED and the SEED-IV. The obtained recognition accuracy of the method using data augmentation shows as 92.5 and 82.3%, respectively, on the SEED and SEED-IV datasets, which is 1.5 and 3.5% higher than that of methods without using data augmentation. The experimental results show that the artificial samples generated by our model can effectively enhance the performance of the EEG-based emotion recognition.

In this paper, a framework based on generative adversarial networks is proposed to perform nature-scenery generation according to descriptions from the users. The desired place, time and seasons of the generated scenes can be specified with the help of text-to-image generation techniques. The framework improves and modifies the architecture of a generative adversarial network with attention models by adding the imagination models. The proposed attentional and imaginative generative network uses the hidden layer information to initialize the memory cell of the recurrent neural network to produce the desired photos. A data set containing different categories of scenery images is established to train the proposed system. The experiments validate that the proposed method is able to increase the quality and diversity of the generated images compared to the existing method. A possible application of road image generation for data augmentation is also demonstrated in the experimental results.

Testing Stage

It is important to detect adversarial samples in the physical world that are far away from the training data distribution. Some adversarial samples can make a machine learning model generate a highly overconfident distribution in the testing stage. Thus, we proposed a mechanism for detecting adversarial samples based on semisupervised generative adversarial networks (GANs) with an encoder-decoder structure; this mechanism can be applied to any pretrained neural network without changing the network’s structure. The semisupervised GANs also give us insight into the behavior of adversarial samples and their flow through the layers of a deep neural network. In the supervised scenario, the latent feature of the semisupervised GAN and the target network’s logit information are used as the input of the external classifier support vector machine to detect the adversarial samples. In the unsupervised scenario, first, we proposed a one-class classier based on the semisupervised Gaussian mixture conditional generative adversarial network (GM-CGAN) to fit the joint feature information of the normal data, and then, we used a discriminator network to detect normal data and adversarial samples. In both supervised scenarios and unsupervised scenarios, experimental results show that our method outperforms latest methods.

AbstractDentists need experience with clinical cases to practice specialized skills. However, the need to protect patient's private information limits their ability to utilize intraoral images obtained from clinical cases. In this study, since generating realistic images could make it possible to utilize intraoral images, progressive growing of generative adversarial networks are used to generate intraoral images. A total of 35,254 intraoral images were used as training data with resolutions of 128 × 128, 256 × 256, 512 × 512, and 1024 × 1024. The results of the training datasets with and without data augmentation were compared. The Sliced Wasserstein Distance was calculated to evaluate the generated images. Next, 50 real images and 50 generated images for each resolution were randomly selected and shuffled. 12 pediatric dentists were asked to observe these images and assess whether they were real or generated. The d prime of the 1024 × 1024 images was significantly higher than that of the other resolutions. In conclusion, generated intraoral images with resolutions of 512 × 512 or lower were so realistic that the dentists could not distinguish whether they were real or generated. This implies that the generated images can be used in dental education or data augmentation for deep learning, without privacy restrictions.

The paper considers the development of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for the synthesis of new medical data. The developed GAN consists of two models trained simultaneously: a generative model (G - Generator), estimating the distribution of data, and a discriminating model (D - Discriminator), which estimates the probability that the sample is obtained from the training data, and not from generator G. To create G, we used own neural network architecture based on convolutional layers using experimental functions of Tensor Flow Addons. To create discriminator D, we used a Transfer Learning (TL) approach. The training procedure is to maximize the likelihood that discriminator D will make a mistake. Experiments show that the proposed GAN architecture completely copes with the task of synthesizing of new medical data.

Conditional Information

As a useful data augmentation technique, generative adversarial networks have been successfully applied in fault diagnosis field. But traditional generative adversarial networks can only generate one category fault signals in one time, which is time-consuming and costly. To overcome this weakness, we develop a novel fault diagnosis method which combines conditional generative adversarial networks and stacked autoencoders, and both of them are built by stacking one-dimensional full connection layers. First, conditional generative adversarial networks is used to generate artificial samples based on the frequency samples, and category labels are adopted as the conditional information to simultaneously generate different category signals. Meanwhile, spectrum normalization is added to the discriminator of conditional generative adversarial networks to enhance the model training. Then, the augmented training samples are transferred to stacked autoencoders for feature extraction and fault classification. Finally, two datasets of bearing and gearbox are employed to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed conditional generative adversarial network–stacked autoencoder method.

AbstractThe microbiome of the human body has been shown to have profound effects on physiological regulation and disease pathogenesis. However, association analysis based on statistical modeling of microbiome data has continued to be a challenge due to inherent noise, complexity of the data, and high cost of collecting large number of samples. To address this challenge, we employed a deep learning framework to construct a data-driven simulation of microbiome data using a conditional generative adversarial network. Conditional generative adversarial networks train two models against each other while leveraging side information learn from a given dataset to compute larger simulated datasets that are representative of the original dataset. In our study, we used a cohorts of patients with inflammatory bowel disease to show that not only can the generative adversarial network generate samples representative of the original data based on multiple diversity metrics, but also that training machine learning models on the synthetic samples can improve disease prediction through data augmentation. In addition, we also show that the synthetic samples generated by this cohort can boost disease prediction of a different external cohort.

Molecular discovery seeks to generate chemical species tailored to very specific needs. In this paper, we present ORGANIC, a framework based on Objective-Reinforced Generative Adversarial Networks (ORGAN), capable of producing a distribution over molecular space that matches with a certain set of desirable metrics. This methodology combines two successful techniques from the machine learning community: a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), to create non-repetitive sensible molecular species, and Reinforcement Learning (RL), to bias this generative distribution towards certain attributes. We explore several applications, from optimization of random physicochemical properties to candidates for drug discovery and organic photovoltaic material design.

Outdoor Vision

Artificial intelligence technologies and vision systems are used in various devices, such as automotive navigation systems, object-tracking systems, and intelligent closed-circuit televisions. In particular, outdoor vision systems have been applied across numerous fields of analysis. Despite their widespread use, current systems work well under good weather conditions. They cannot account for inclement conditions, such as rain, fog, mist, and snow. Images captured under inclement conditions degrade the performance of vision systems. Vision systems need to detect, recognize, and remove noise because of rain, snow, and mist to boost the performance of the algorithms employed in image processing. Several studies have targeted the removal of noise resulting from inclement conditions. We focused on eliminating the effects of raindrops on images captured with outdoor vision systems in which the camera was exposed to rain. An attentive generative adversarial network (ATTGAN) was used to remove raindrops from the images. This network was composed of two parts: an attentive-recurrent network and a contextual autoencoder. The ATTGAN generated an attention map to detect rain droplets. A de-rained image was generated by increasing the number of attentive-recurrent network layers. We increased the number of visual attentive-recurrent network layers in order to prevent gradient sparsity so that the entire generation was more stable against the network without preventing the network from converging. The experimental results confirmed that the extended ATTGAN could effectively remove various types of raindrops from images.
