Animal Detection

The evolution in imaging technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, coupled with improvements in UAV technology, has enabled the use of unmanned aircraft in a wide range of applications. The feasibility of this kind of approach for cattle monitoring has been demonstrated by several studies, but practical use is still challenging due to the particular characteristics of this application, such as the need to track mobile targets and the extensive areas that need to be covered in most cases. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a tilted angle to increase the area covered by each image. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (Xception architecture) were used to generate the models for animal detection. Three experiments were carried out: (1) five different sizes for the input images were tested to determine which yields the highest accuracies; (2) detection accuracies were calculated for different distances between animals and sensor, in order to determine how distance influences detectability; and (3) animals that were completely missed by the detection process were individually identified and the cause for those errors were determined, revealing some potential topics for further research. Experimental results indicate that oblique images can be successfully used under certain conditions, but some practical limitations need to be addressed in order to make this approach appealing.

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a tilted angle to increase the area covered by each image. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (Xception architecture) were used to generate the models for the experiments, which covered aspects like ideal input dimensions, effect of the distance between animals and sensor, effect of classification error on the overall detection process, and impact of physical obstacles on the accuracy of the model. Experimental results indicate that oblique images can be successfully used under certain conditions, but some practical limitations need to be addressed in order to make this approach appealing.

Adversarial Networks

It is becoming increasingly apparent that a significant amount of the population suffers from mental health problems, such as stress, depression, and anxiety. These issues are a result of a vast range of factors, such as genetic conditions, social circumstances, and lifestyle influences. A key cause, or contributor, for many people is their work; poor mental state can be exacerbated by jobs and a person’s working environment. Additionally, as the information age continues to burgeon, people are increasingly sedentary in their working lives, spending more of their days seated, and less time moving around. It is a well-known fact that a decrease in physical activity is detrimental to mental well-being. Therefore, the need for innovative research and development to combat negativity early is required. Implementing solutions using Artificial Intelligence has great potential in this field of research. This work proposes a solution to this problem domain, utilising two concepts of Artificial Intelligence, namely, Convolutional Neural Networks and Generative Adversarial Networks. A CNN is trained to accurately predict when an individual is experiencing negative emotions, achieving a top accuracy of 80.38% with a loss of 0.42. A GAN is trained to synthesise images from an input domain that can be attributed to evoking position emotions. A Graphical User Interface is created to display the generated media to users in order to boost mood and reduce feelings of stress. The work demonstrates the capability for using Deep Learning to identify stress and negative mood, and the strategies that can be implemented to reduce them.

Adversarial Examples

Deep learning is gaining significant traction in a wide range of areas. Whereas, recent studies have demonstrated that deep learning exhibits the fatal weakness on adversarial examples. Due to the black-box nature and un-transparency problem of deep learning, it is difficult to explain the reason for the existence of adversarial examples and also hard to defend against them. This study focuses on improving the adversarial robustness of convolutional neural networks. We first explore how adversarial examples behave inside the network through visualization. We find that adversarial examples produce perturbations in hidden activations, which forms an amplification effect to fool the network. Motivated by this observation, we propose an approach, termed as sanitizing hidden activations, to help the network correctly recognize adversarial examples by eliminating or reducing the perturbations in hidden activations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct experiments on three widely used datasets: MNIST, CIFAR-10 and ImageNet, and also compare with state-of-the-art defense techniques. The experimental results show that our sanitizing approach is more generalized to defend against different kinds of attacks and can effectively improve the adversarial robustness of convolutional neural networks.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

In the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has grown dramatically impacting several fields of human knowledge and medicine in particular. Among other approaches, deep learning, which is a subset of AI based on specific computational models, such as deep convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, has shown exceptional performance in images and signals processing. Accordingly, emergency medicine will benefit from the adoption of this technology. However, a particular attention should be devoted to the review of these papers in order to exclude overoptimistic results from clinically transferable ones. We presented a group of studies recently published on PubMed and selected by keywords ‘deep learning emergency medicine’ and ‘artificial intelligence emergency medicine’ with the aim of highlighting their methodological strengths and weaknesses, as well as their clinical usefulness.

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have attracted many attentions of researchers in the field of artificial intelligence.

Equipped with modern audio, video, screen-touching components, and other sensors for online pattern recognition, the iOS mobile devices provide developers and users friendly testing and powerful computing environments. This chapter introduces the trend of developing pattern recognition CNN Apps on iOS devices and the neural organization of convolutional neural networks. Deep learning in Matlab and executing CNN models on iOS devices are introduced following the motivation of combining mathematical modelling and computation with neural architectures for developing pattern recognition iOS apps.

Self Driving Cars

Artificial intelligence methods have a very wide range of applications. From speech recognition to self-driving cars, the development of modern deep-learning architectures is helping researchers to achieve new levels of accuracy in different fields. Although deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) (a kind of deep-learning technique) have reached or surpassed human-level performance in image recognition tasks, little has been done to transport this new image classification technology to geoscientific problems. We have developed what we believe to be the first use of CNNs to identify lithofacies in cores. We use highly accurate models (trained with millions of images) and transfer learning to classify images of cored carbonate rocks. We found that different modern CNN architectures can achieve high levels of lithologic image classification accuracy (approximately 90%) and can aid in the core description task. This core image classification technique has the potential to greatly standardize and accelerate the description process. We also provide the community with a new set of labeled data that can be used for further geologic/data science studies.
