An advanced method of modeling radio-frequency (RF) devices based on a deep learning technique is proposed for accurate prediction of S parameters. The S parameters of RF devices calculated by full-wave electromagnetic solvers along with the metallic geometry of the structure, permittivity and thickness of the dielectric layers of the RF devices are used partly as the training and partly as testing data for the deep learning structure. To implement the training procedure efficiently, a novel selection method of training data considering critical points is introduced. In order to rapidly and accurately map the geometrical parameters of the RF devices to the S parameters, deep neural networks are used to establish the multiple non-linear transforms. The hidden-layers of the neural networks are adaptively chosen based on the frequency response of the RF devices to guarantee the accuracy of generated model. The Adam optimization algorithm is utilized for the acceleration of training. With the established deep learning model of a parameterized device, the S parameters can efficiently be obtained when the device geometrical parameters change. Comparing with the traditional modeling method that uses shallow neural networks, the proposed method can achieve better accuracy, especially when the training data are non-uniform. Three RF devices, including a rectangular inductor, an interdigital capacitor, and two coupled transmission lines, are used for building and verifying the deep neural network. It is shown that the deep neural network has good robustness and excellent generalization ability. Even for very wide frequency band (0–100 GHz), the maximum relative error of the coupled transmission lines using the proposed method is below 3%.

Gradient Descent Algorithm

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized for various missions: in both civilian and military sectors. Many of these missions demand UAVs to acquire artificial intelligence about the environments they are navigating in. This perception can be realized by training a computing machine to classify objects in the environment. One of the well known machine training approaches is supervised deep learning, which enables a machine to classify objects. However, supervised deep learning comes with huge sacrifice in terms of time and computational resources. Collecting big input data, pre-training processes, such as labeling training data, and the need for a high performance computer for training are some of the challenges that supervised deep learning poses. To address these setbacks, this study proposes mission specific input data augmentation techniques and the design of light-weight deep neural network architecture that is capable of real-time object classification. Semi-direct visual odometry (SVO) data of augmented images are used to train the network for object classification. Ten classes of 10,000 different images in each class were used as input data where 80% were for training the network and the remaining 20% were used for network validation. For the optimization of the designed deep neural network, a sequential gradient descent algorithm was implemented. This algorithm has the advantage of handling redundancy in the data more efficiently than other algorithms.

For the past few years, deep learning (DL) robustness (i.e. the ability to maintain the same decision when inputs are subject to perturbations) has become a question of paramount importance, in particular in settings where misclassification can have dramatic consequences. To address this question, authors have proposed different approaches, such as adding regularizers or training using noisy examples. In this paper we introduce a regularizer based on the Laplacian of similarity graphs obtained from the representation of training data at each layer of the DL architecture. This regularizer penalizes large changes (across consecutive layers in the architecture) in the distance between examples of different classes, and as such enforces smooth variations of the class boundaries. We provide theoretical justification for this regularizer and demonstrate its effectiveness to improve robustness on classical supervised learning vision datasets for various types of perturbations. We also show it can be combined with existing methods to increase overall robustness.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in change detection of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and have been proven to have better precision than traditional methods. A two-stage patch-based deep learning method with a label updating strategy is proposed in this paper. The initial label and mask are generated at the pre-classification stage. Then a two-stage updating strategy is applied to gradually recover changed areas. At the first stage, diversity of training data is gradually restored. The output of the designed CNN network is further processed to generate a new label and a new mask for the following learning iteration. As the diversity of data is ensured after the first stage, pixels within uncertain areas can be easily classified at the second stage. Experiment results on several representative datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed method compared with several existing competitive methods.

Segmentation of faults based on seismic images is an important step in reservoir characterization. With the recent developments of deep-learning methods and the availability of massive computing power, automatic interpretation of seismic faults has become possible. The likelihood of occurrence for a fault can be quantified using a sigmoid function. Our goal is to quantify the fault model uncertainty that is generally not captured by deep-learning tools. We propose to use the dropout approach, a regularization technique to prevent overfitting and co-adaptation in hidden units, to approximate the Bayesian inference and estimate the principled uncertainty over functions. Particularly, the variance of the learned model has been decomposed into aleatoric and epistemic parts. The proposed method is applied to a real dataset from the Netherlands F3 block with two different dropout ratios in convolutional neural networks. The aleatoric uncertainty is irreducible since it relates to the stochastic dependency within the input observations. As the number of Monte-Carlo realizations increases, the epistemic uncertainty asymptotically converges and the model standard deviation decreases, because the variability of model parameters is better simulated or explained with a larger sample size. This analysis can quantify the confidence to use fault predictions with less uncertainty. Additionally, the analysis suggests where more training data are needed to reduce the uncertainty in low confidence regions.

Machine learning is the study of algorithms and models for computing systems to do tasks based on pattern identification and inference. When it is difficult or infeasible to develop an algorithm to do a particular task, machine learning algorithms can provide an output based on previous training data. A well-known machine learning model is deep learning. The most recent deep learning models are based on artificial neural networks (ANN). There exist several types of artificial neural networks including the feedforward neural network, the Kohonen self-organizing neural network, the recurrent neural network, the convolutional neural network, the modular neural network, among others. This article focuses on convolutional neural networks with a description of the model, the training and inference processes and its applicability. It will also give an overview of the most used CNN models and what to expect from the next generation of CNN models.

Scene Classification

Scene classification is an important aspect of image/video understanding and segmentation. However, remote-sensing scene classification is a challenging image recognition task, partly due to the limited training data, which causes deep-learning Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to overfit. Another difficulty is that images often have very different scales and orientation (viewing angle). Yet another is that the resulting networks may be very large, again making them prone to overfitting and unsuitable for deployment on memory- and energy-limited devices. We propose an efficient deep-learning approach to tackle these problems. We use transfer learning to compensate for the lack of data, and data augmentation to tackle varying scale and orientation. To reduce network size, we use a novel unsupervised learning approach based on k-means clustering, applied to all parts of the network: most network reduction methods use computationally expensive supervised learning methods, and apply only to the convolutional or fully connected layers, but not both. In experiments, we set new standards in classification accuracy on four remote-sensing and two scene-recognition image datasets.

Abstract Motivation Deep learning architectures have recently demonstrated their power in predicting DNA- and RNA-binding specificity. Existing methods fall into three classes: Some are based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), others use recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and others rely on hybrid architectures combining CNNs and RNNs. However, based on existing studies the relative merit of the various architectures remains unclear. Results In this study we present a systematic exploration of deep learning architectures for predicting DNA- and RNA-binding specificity. For this purpose, we present deepRAM, an end-to-end deep learning tool that provides an implementation of a wide selection of architectures; its fully automatic model selection procedure allows us to perform a fair and unbiased comparison of deep learning architectures. We find that deeper more complex architectures provide a clear advantage with sufficient training data, and that hybrid CNN/RNN architectures outperform other methods in terms of accuracy. Our work provides guidelines that can assist the practitioner in choosing an appropriate network architecture, and provides insight on the difference between the models learned by convolutional and recurrent networks. In particular, we find that although recurrent networks improve model accuracy, this comes at the expense of a loss in the interpretability of the features learned by the model.

Final Decision

The Classification of images is a paramount topic in artificial vision systems which have drawn a notable amount of interest over the past years. This field aims to classify an image, which is an input, based on its visual content. Currently, most people relied on hand-crafted features to describe an image in a particular way. Then, using classifiers that are learnable, such as random forest, and decision tree was applied to the extract features to come to a final decision. The problem arises when large numbers of photos are concerned. It becomes a too difficult problem to find features from them. This is one of the reasons that the deep neural network model has been introduced. Owing to the existence of Deep learning, it can become feasible to represent the hierarchical nature of features using a various number of layers and corresponding weight with them. The existing image classification methods have been gradually applied in real-world problems, but then there are various problems in its application processes, such as unsatisfactory effect and extremely low classification accuracy or then and weak adaptive ability. Models using deep learning concepts have robust learning ability, which combines the feature extraction and the process of classification into a whole which then completes an image classification task, which can improve the image classification accuracy effectively. Convolutional Neural Networks are a powerful deep neural network technique. These networks preserve the spatial structure of a problem and were built for object recognition tasks such as classifying an image into respective classes. Neural networks are much known because people are getting a state-of-the-art outcome on complex computer vision and natural language processing tasks. Convolutional neural networks have been extensively used.

Complications After Bariatric Surgery

BACKGROUND Obesity is one of today’s most visible public health problems worldwide. Although modern bariatric surgery is ostensibly considered safe, serious complications and mortality still occur in some patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore whether serious postoperative complications of bariatric surgery recorded in a national quality registry can be predicted preoperatively using deep learning methods. METHODS Patients who were registered in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) between 2010 and 2015 were included in this study. The patients who underwent a bariatric procedure between 2010 and 2014 were used as training data, and those who underwent a bariatric procedure in 2015 were used as test data. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and complications requiring intervention under general anesthesia or resulting in organ failure or death were considered serious. Three supervised deep learning neural networks were applied and compared in our study: multilayer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN), and recurrent neural network (RNN). The synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) was used to artificially augment the patients with serious complications. The performances of the neural networks were evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Matthews correlation coefficient, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS In total, 37,811 and 6250 patients were used as the training data and test data, with incidence rates of serious complication of 3.2% (1220/37,811) and 3.0% (188/6250), respectively. When trained using the SMOTE data, the MLP appeared to have a desirable performance, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95% CI 0.83-0.85). However, its performance was low for the test data, with an AUC of 0.54 (95% CI 0.53-0.55). The performance of CNN was similar to that of MLP. It generated AUCs of 0.79 (95% CI 0.78-0.80) and 0.57 (95% CI 0.59-0.61) for the SMOTE data and test data, respectively. Compared with the MLP and CNN, the RNN showed worse performance, with AUCs of 0.65 (95% CI 0.64-0.66) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.53-0.57) for the SMOTE data and test data, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MLP and CNN showed improved, but limited, ability for predicting the postoperative serious complications after bariatric surgery in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry data. However, the overfitting issue is still apparent and needs to be overcome by incorporating intra- and perioperative information. CLINICALTRIAL
