Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare applications have grown exponentially over the past decade. With the increasing number of fatalities due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), it is the need of the hour to detect any signs of cardiac abnormalities as early as possible. This calls for automation on the detection and classification of said cardiac abnormalities by physicians. The problem here is that, there is not enough data to train Deep Learning models to classify ECG signals accurately because of sensitive nature of data and the rarity of certain cases involved in CVDs. In this paper, we propose a framework which involves Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to create synthetic training data for the classes with less data points to improve the performance of Deep Learning models trained with the dataset. With data being input from sensors via cloud and this model to classify the ECG signals, we expect the framework to be functional, accurate and efficient.

Achieving fairness in learning models is currently an imperative task in machine learning. Meanwhile, recent research showed that fairness should be studied from the causal perspective, and proposed a number of fairness criteria based on Pearl's causal modeling framework. In this paper, we investigate the problem of building causal fairness-aware generative adversarial networks (CFGAN), which can learn a close distribution from a given dataset, while also ensuring various causal fairness criteria based on a given causal graph. CFGAN adopts two generators, whose structures are purposefully designed to reflect the structures of causal graph and interventional graph. Therefore, the two generators can respectively simulate the underlying causal model that generates the real data, as well as the causal model after the intervention. On the other hand, two discriminators are used for producing a close-to-real distribution, as well as for achieving various fairness criteria based on causal quantities simulated by generators. Experiments on a real-world dataset show that CFGAN can generate high quality fair data.

Training a deep learning model requires highly variable data to permit reasonable generalization. If the variability in the data about to be processed is low, the interest in obtaining this generalization seems limited. Yet, it could prove interesting to specialize the model with respect to a particular theme. The use of enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial networks (ERSGAN), a specific type of deep learning architecture, allows the spatial resolution of remote sensing images to be increased by “hallucinating” non-existent details. In this study, we show that ESRGAN create better quality images when trained on thematically classified images than when trained on a wide variety of examples. All things being equal, we further show that the algorithm performs better on some themes than it does on others. Texture analysis shows that these performances are correlated with the inverse difference moment and entropy of the images.

Deep learning models have achieved success in image recognition and have shown great potential for interpretation of ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. However, training reliable deep learning models requires massive labeled data, which are usually not easy to obtain due to the high costs of data acquisition and field validation. This paper proposes an improved least square generative adversarial networks (LSGAN) model which employs the loss functions of LSGAN and convolutional neural networks (CNN) to generate GPR images. This model can generate high-precision GPR data to address the scarcity of labelled GPR data. We evaluate the proposed model using Frechet Inception Distance (FID) evaluation index and compare it with other existing GAN models and find it outperforms the other two models on a lower FID score. In addition, the adaptability of the LSGAN-generated images for GPR data augmentation is investigated by YOLOv4 model, which is employed to detect rebars in field GPR images. It is verified that inclusion of LSGAN-generated images in the training GPR dataset can increase the target diversity and improve the detection precision by 10%, compared with the model trained on the dataset containing 500 field GPR images.

Proposed Model

Realistic synthetic data can be useful for data augmentation when training deep learning models to improve seismological detection and classification performance. In recent years, various deep learning techniques have been successfully applied in modern seismology. Due to the performance of deep learning depends on a sufficient volume of data, the data augmentation technique as a data-space solution is widely utilized. In this paper, we propose a Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) based model that uses conditional knowledge to generate high-quality seismic waveforms. Unlike the existing method of generating samples directly from noise, the proposed method generates synthetic samples based on the statistical characteristics of real seismic waveforms in embedding space. Moreover, a content loss is added to relate high-level features extracted by a pre-trained model to the objective function to enhance the quality of the synthetic data. The classification accuracy is increased from 96.84% to 97.92% after mixing a certain amount of synthetic seismic waveforms, and results of the quality of seismic characteristics derived from the representative experiment show that the proposed model provides an effective structure for generating high-quality synthetic seismic waveforms. Thus, the proposed model is experimentally validated as a promising approach to realistic high-quality seismic waveform data augmentation.

Abstract: Deep learning's breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence has resulted in the creation of a slew of deep learning models. One of these is the Generative Adversarial Network, which has only recently emerged. The goal of GAN is to use unsupervised learning to analyse the distribution of data and create more accurate results. The GAN allows the learning of deep representations in the absence of substantial labelled training information. Computer vision, language and video processing, and image synthesis are just a few of the applications that might benefit from these representations. The purpose of this research is to get the reader conversant with the GAN framework as well as to provide the background information on Generative Adversarial Networks, including the structure of both the generator and discriminator, as well as the various GAN variants along with their respective architectures. Applications of GANs are also discussed with examples.
