Human Attribute Recognition (HAR) is a highly active research field in computer vision and pattern recognition domains with various applications such as surveillance or fashion. Several approaches have been proposed to tackle the particular challenges in HAR. However, these approaches have dramatically changed over the last decade, mainly due to the improvements brought by deep learning solutions. To provide insights for future algorithm design and dataset collections, in this survey, (1) we provide an in-depth analysis of existing HAR techniques, concerning the advances proposed to address the HAR’s main challenges; (2) we provide a comprehensive discussion over the publicly available datasets for the development and evaluation of novel HAR approaches; (3) we outline the applications and typical evaluation metrics used in the HAR context.

Deep Learning is developing interesting tools which are of great interest for inverse imaging applications. In this work, we consider a medical imaging reconstruction task from subsampled measurements, which is an active research field where Convolutional Neural Networks have already revealed their great potential. However, the commonly used architectures are very deep and, hence, prone to overfitting and unfeasible for clinical usages. Inspired by the ideas of the green-AI literature, we here propose a shallow neural network to perform an efficient Learned Post-Processing on images roughly reconstructed by the filtered backprojection algorithm. The results obtained on images from the training set and on unseen images, using both the non-expensive network and the widely used very deep ResUNet show that the proposed network computes images of comparable or higher quality in about one fourth of time.

Association rule mining has been a highly active research field over the past decade. Extraction of frequency-related patterns has been applied to several domains. However, the way association rules are defined has limited people’s ability to obtain all the patterns of interest. In this chapter, the authors present an alternative approach that allows us to obtain new kinds of association rules that represent deviations from common behaviors. These new rules are called anomalous rules. To obtain such rules requires that we extract all the most frequent patterns together with certain extension patterns that may occur very infrequently. An approach that relies on anomalous rules has possible application in the areas of counterterrorism, fraud detection, pharmaceutical data analysis and network intrusion detection. They provide an adaption of measures of interest to our anomalous rule sets, and we propose an algorithm that can extract anomalous rules as well. Their experiments with benchmark and real-life datasets suggest that the set of anomalous rules is smaller than the set of association rules. Their work also provides evidence that our proposed approach can discover hidden patterns with good reliability.

Machine reading comprehension (MRC), which requires a machine to answer questions based on a given context, has attracted increasing attention with the incorporation of various deep-learning techniques over the past few years. Although research on MRC based on deep learning is flourishing, there remains a lack of a comprehensive survey summarizing existing approaches and recent trends, which motivated the work presented in this article. Specifically, we give a thorough review of this research field, covering different aspects including (1) typical MRC tasks: their definitions, differences, and representative datasets; (2) the general architecture of neural MRC: the main modules and prevalent approaches to each; and (3) new trends: some emerging areas in neural MRC as well as the corresponding challenges. Finally, considering what has been achieved so far, the survey also envisages what the future may hold by discussing the open issues left to be addressed.

Three dimensional modelling of artefacts and building interiors is a highly active research field in our days. Several techniques are being utilized to perform such a task, spanning from traditional surveying techniques and photogrammetry to structured light scanners, laser scanners and so on. New technological advancements in both hardware and software create new recording techniques, tools and approaches. In this paper we present a new recording and modelling approach based on the SwissRanger SR4000 range camera coupled with a Canon 400D dSLR camera. The hardware component of our approach consists of a fixed base, which encloses the range and SLR cameras. The two sensors are fully calibrated and registered to each other thus we were able to produce colorized point clouds acquired from the range camera. In this paper we present the initial design and calibration of the system along with experimental data regarding the accuracy of the proposed approach. We are also providing results regarding the modelling of interior spaces and artefacts accompanied with accuracy tests from other modelling approaches based on photogrammetry and laser scanning.

Background: Cancer subtype identification is an active research field which helps in the diagnosis of various cancers with proper treatments. Leukemia is one such cancer with various subtypes. High throughput technologies such as Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) microarray are highly active in the field of cancer detection and classification alternatively. Objective: Yet, a precise analysis is important in microarray data applications as microarray experiments provide huge amount of data. Gene selection techniques promote microarray usage in the field of medicine. The objective of gene selection is to select a small subset of genes, which are the most informative in classification. associations while known disease-lncRNA associations are required only. Method: In this study, multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is used for gene subset selection in Leukemia classification. An initial redundant and irrelevant gene removal is followed by multiobjective evolutionary based gene subset selection. Gene subset selection highly influences the perfect classification. Thus, selecting the appropriate algorithm for subset selection is important. Results: The performance of the proposed method is compared against the standard genetic algorithm and evolutionary algorithm. Three Leukemia microarray datasets were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Perfect classification was achieved for all the datasets only with few significant genes using the proposed approach. Conclusion: Thus, it is obvious that the proposed study perfectly classifies Leukemia with only few significant genes.</P>

Abstract In recent years, autonomous navigation for mobile robots has been considered a highly active research field. Within this context, we are interested to apply the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) approach for a wheeled mobile robot. The Extended Kalman Filter has been chosen to perform the SLAM algorithm. In this work, we explicit all steps of the approach. Performances of the developed algorithm have been assessed through simulation in the case of a small scale map. Then, we present several experiments on a real robot that are proceeded in order to exploit a programmed SLAM unit and to generate the navigation map. Based on experimental results, simulation of the SLAM method in the case of a large scale map is then realized. Obtained results are exploited in order to evaluate and compare the algorithm’s consistency and robustness for both cases.

Semantic augmentation of 3D point clouds is a challenging problem with numerous real-world applications. While deep learning has revolutionised image segmentation and classification, its impact on point cloud is an active research field. In this paper, we propose an instance segmentation and augmentation of 3D point clouds using deep learning architectures. We show the potential of an indirect approach using 2D images and a Mask R-CNN (Region-Based Convolution Neural Network). Our method consists of four core steps. We first project the point cloud onto panoramic 2D images using three types of projections: spherical, cylindrical, and cubic. Next, we homogenise the resulting images to correct the artefacts and the empty pixels to be comparable to images available in common training libraries. These images are then used as input to the Mask R-CNN neural network, designed for 2D instance segmentation. Finally, the obtained predictions are reprojected to the point cloud to obtain the segmentation results. We link the results to a context-aware neural network to augment the semantics. Several tests were performed on different datasets to test the adequacy of the method and its potential for generalisation. The developed algorithm uses only the attributes X, Y, Z, and a projection centre (virtual camera) position as inputs.
