In this era of technology, for effective treatment of patients, clinical experts are getting great support from automated e-healthcare systems. Nowadays, one of the leading reasons of death is cancer. Some common cancers are breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, brain cancer, and so on. To save human lives from cancer, an effective and timely treatment is required. Many different types of image modalities like CT scan, ultrasound, x-ray, MRI can be used to determine the disease, but traditionally, this was purely dependent on the knowledge and experience of doctors. So, the death rate was quite high and increasing day by day. Machine learning and deep learning are providing robust solutions in this field. There are many deep learning techniques like RNN, CNN, DBN, autoencoders, generative adversarial networks which are providing robust solutions in cancer diagnosis and prognosis so that many human lives can be saved. The objective of this chapter is to give an insight into deep learning techniques in the field of a cancer diagnosis.

Drones are becoming increasingly popular not only for recreational purposes but in day-to-day applications in engineering, medicine, logistics, security and others. In addition to their useful applications, an alarming concern in regard to the physical infrastructure security, safety and privacy has arisen due to the potential of their use in malicious activities. To address this problem, we propose a novel solution that automates the drone detection and identification processes using a drone’s acoustic features with different deep learning algorithms. However, the lack of acoustic drone datasets hinders the ability to implement an effective solution. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap by introducing a hybrid drone acoustic dataset composed of recorded drone audio clips and artificially generated drone audio samples using a state-of-the-art deep learning technique known as the Generative Adversarial Network. Furthermore, we examine the effectiveness of using drone audio with different deep learning algorithms, namely, the Convolutional Neural Network, the Recurrent Neural Network and the Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network in drone detection and identification. Moreover, we investigate the impact of our proposed hybrid dataset in drone detection. Our findings prove the advantage of using deep learning techniques for drone detection and identification while confirming our hypothesis on the benefits of using the Generative Adversarial Networks to generate real-like drone audio clips with an aim of enhancing the detection of new and unfamiliar drones.

Abstract Although recent advances in artificial intelligence to generate images with deep learning techniques, especially generative adversarial networks (GANs), have offered radically new opportunities for its creative applications, there has been little investigation into its use as a tool to explore the senses beyond vision alone. In an artistic collaboration that brought Chef Alain Passard, art historian and data scientist Emily Spratt, and computer programmer Thomas Fan together, photographs of the three-star Michelin plates from the Parisian restaurant Arpège were used as a springboard to explore the art of culinary presentation in the manner of the Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

Modern deep learning techniques have proven that they have the capacity to be successful in a wide area of domains and tasks, including applications related to 3D and 2D images. However, their quality depends on the quality and quantity of the data with which models are trained. As the capacity of deep learning models increases, data availability becomes the most significant. To counter this issue, various techniques are utilized, including data augmentation, which refers to the practice of expanding the original dataset with artificially created samples. One approach that has been found is the generative adversarial networks (GANs), which, unlike other domain-agnostic transformation-based methods, can produce diverse samples that belong to a given data distribution. Taking advantage of this property, a multitude of GAN architectures has been leveraged for data augmentation applications. The subject of this chapter is to review and organize implementations of this approach on 3D and 2D imagery, examine the methods that were used, and survey the areas in which they were applied.

BACKGROUND Glaucoma means irreversible blindness. Globally, it is the second retinal disease leading to blindness, just preceded by the cataract. Therefore, there is a great need to avoid the silent growth of such disease using the recently developed Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs). OBJECTIVE This paper aims to introduce GAN technology for the diagnosis of eye disorders, particularly glaucoma. This paper illustrates deep adversarial learning as a potential diagnostic tool and the challenges involved in its implementation. This study describes and analyzes many of the pitfalls and problems that researchers will need to overcome in order to implement this kind of technology. METHODS To organize this review comprehensively, we used the keywords: ("Glaucoma", "optic disc", "blood vessels") and ("receptive field", "loss function", "GAN", "Generative Adversarial Network", "Deep learning", "CNN", "convolutional neural network" OR encoder), in different variations to gather all the relevant articles from five highly reputed databases: IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and Pubmed. These libraries broadly cover technical and medical literature. For the latest five years of publications, we only included those within that period. Researchers who used OCT or visual fields in their work were excluded. However, papers that used 2D images were included. A large-scale systematic analysis was performed, then a summary was generated. The study was conducted between March 2020 and November 2020. RESULTS We found 59 articles after a comprehensive survey of the literature. Among 59 articles, 29 present actual attempts to synthesize images and provide accurate segmentation/classification using single/multiple landmarks or share certain experiences. Twenty-nine journal articles discuss recent advances in generative adversarial networks, practical experiments, and analytical studies of retinal disease. CONCLUSIONS Recent deep learning technique, namely generative adversarial network, has shown encouraging retinal disease detection performance. Although this methodology involves an extensive computing budget and optimization process, it saturates the greedy nature of deep learning techniques by synthesizing images and solves major medical issues. There is no existing systematic review paper on retinal disease utilizing generative adversarial networks to the extent of our knowledge. Two paper sets were reported; the first involves surveys on the recent development of GANs or overviews of papers reported in the literature applying machine learning techniques on retinal diseases. While in the second group, researchers have sought to establish and enhance the detection process through generating as real as possible synthetic images with the assistance of GANs. This paper contributes to this research field by offering a thorough analysis of existing works, highlighting current limitations, and suggesting alternatives to support other researchers and participants to improve further and strengthen future work. Finally, the new directions of this research have been identified.

We present deep learning-based approaches for exploring the complex array of morphologies exhibited by the opportunistic human pathogen C. albicans. Our system entitled Candescence automatically detects C. albicans cells from Differential Image Contrast microscopy, and labels each detected cell with one of nine vegetative, mating-competent or filamentous morphologies. The software is based upon a fully convolutional one-stage object detector and exploits a novel cumulative curriculum-based learning strategy that stratifies our images by difficulty from simple vegetative forms to more complex filamentous architectures. Candescence achieves very good performance on this difficult learning set which has substantial intermixing between the predicted classes. To capture the essence of each C. albicans morphology, we develop models using generative adversarial networks and identify subcomponents of the latent space which control technical variables, developmental trajectories or morphological switches. We envision Candescence as a community meeting point for quantitative explorations of C. albicans morphology.

This work represents a simple method for motion transfer (i.e., given a source video of a subject [person] performing some movements or in motion, that movement/motion is transferred to amateur target in different motion). The pose is used as an intermediate representation to perform this translation. To transfer the motion of the source subject to the target subject, the pose is extracted from the source subject, and then the target subject is generated by applying the learned pose to-appearance mapping. To perform this translation, the video is considered as a set of images consisting of all the frames. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are used to transfer the motion from source subject to the target subject. GANs are an evolving field of deep learning.
