Due to the strong speckle noise caused by the seabed reverberation which makes it difficult to extract discriminating and noiseless features of a target, recognition and classification of underwater targets using side-scan sonar (SSS) images is a big challenge. Moreover, unlike classification of optical images which can use a large dataset to train the classifier, classification of SSS images usually has to exploit a very small dataset for training, which may cause classifier overfitting. Compared with traditional feature extraction methods using descriptors—such as Haar, SIFT, and LBP—deep learning-based methods are more powerful in capturing discriminating features. After training on a large optical dataset, e.g., ImageNet, direct fine-tuning method brings improvement to the sonar image classification using a small-size SSS image dataset. However, due to the different statistical characteristics between optical images and sonar images, transfer learning methods—e.g., fine-tuning—lack cross-domain adaptability, and therefore cannot achieve very satisfactory results. In this paper, a multi-domain collaborative transfer learning (MDCTL) method with multi-scale repeated attention mechanism (MSRAM) is proposed for improving the accuracy of underwater sonar image classification. In the MDCTL method, low-level characteristic similarity between SSS images and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, and high-level representation similarity between SSS images and optical images are used together to enhance the feature extraction ability of the deep learning model. Using different characteristics of multi-domain data to efficiently capture useful features for the sonar image classification, MDCTL offers a new way for transfer learning. MSRAM is used to effectively combine multi-scale features to make the proposed model pay more attention to the shape details of the target excluding the noise. Experimental results of classification show that, in using multi-domain data sets, the proposed method is more stable with an overall accuracy of 99.21%, bringing an improvement of 4.54% compared with the fine-tuned VGG19. Results given by diverse visualization methods also demonstrate that the method is more powerful in feature representation by using the MDCTL and MSRAM.

Cellular Life

The cell cycle is an important process in cellular life. In recent years, some image processing methods have been developed to determine the cell cycle stages of individual cells. However, in most of these methods, cells have to be segmented, and their features need to be extracted. During feature extraction, some important information may be lost, resulting in lower classification accuracy. Thus, we used a deep learning method to retain all cell features. In order to solve the problems surrounding insufficient numbers of original images and the imbalanced distribution of original images, we used the Wasserstein generative adversarial network-gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) for data augmentation. At the same time, a residual network (ResNet) was used for image classification. ResNet is one of the most used deep learning classification networks. The classification accuracy of cell cycle images was achieved more effectively with our method, reaching 83.88%. Compared with an accuracy of 79.40% in previous experiments, our accuracy increased by 4.48%. Another dataset was used to verify the effect of our model and, compared with the accuracy from previous results, our accuracy increased by 12.52%. The results showed that our new cell cycle image classification system based on WGAN-GP and ResNet is useful for the classification of imbalanced images. Moreover, our method could potentially solve the low classification accuracy in biomedical images caused by insufficient numbers of original images and the imbalanced distribution of original images.

Classification Of Images

Deep learning models have demonstrated improved efficacy in image classification since the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge started since 2010. Classification of images has further augmented in the field of computer vision with the dawn of transfer learning. To train a model on huge dataset demands huge computational resources and add a lot of cost to learning. Transfer learning allows to reduce on cost of learning and also help avoid reinventing the wheel. There are several pretrained models like VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, Inceptionv3, EfficientNet etc which are widely used.   This paper demonstrates image classification using pretrained deep neural network model VGG16 which is trained on images from ImageNet dataset. After obtaining the convolutional base model, a new deep neural network model is built on top of it for image classification based on fully connected network. This classifier will use features extracted from the convolutional base model.

Information Bottleneck

Inspired by the pioneering work of the information bottleneck (IB) principle for Deep Neural Networks’ (DNNs) analysis, we thoroughly study the relationship among the model accuracy, I ( X ; T ) and I ( T ; Y ) , where I ( X ; T ) and I ( T ; Y ) are the mutual information of DNN’s output T with input X and label Y. Then, we design an information plane-based framework to evaluate the capability of DNNs (including CNNs) for image classification. Instead of each hidden layer’s output, our framework focuses on the model output T. We successfully apply our framework to many application scenarios arising in deep learning and image classification problems, such as image classification with unbalanced data distribution, model selection, and transfer learning. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the information plane-based framework: Our framework may facilitate a quick model selection and determine the number of samples needed for each class in the unbalanced classification problem. Furthermore, the framework explains the efficiency of transfer learning in the deep learning area.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a dangerous eye condition that affects diabetic patients. Without early detection, it can affect the retina and may eventually cause permanent blindness. The early diagnosis of DR is crucial for its treatment. However, the diagnosis of DR is a very difficult process that requires an experienced ophthalmologist. A breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence called deep learning can help in giving the ophthalmologist a second opinion regarding the classification of the DR by using an autonomous classifier. To accurately train a deep learning model to classify DR, an enormous number of images is required, and this is an important limitation in the DR domain. Transfer learning is a technique that can help in overcoming the scarcity of images. The main idea that is exploited by transfer learning is that a deep learning architecture, previously trained on non-medical images, can be fine-tuned to suit the DR dataset. This paper reviews research papers that focus on DR classification by using transfer learning to present the best existing methods to address this problem. This review can help future researchers to find out existing transfer learning methods to address the DR classification task and to show their differences in terms of performance.
