Despite recent advances in image and video processing, the detection of people or cars in areas of dense vegetation is still challenging due to landscape, illumination changes and strong occlusion. In this paper, we address this problem with the use of a hyperspectral camera—installed on the ground or possibly a drone—and detection based on spectral signatures. We introduce a novel automatic method for annotating spectral signatures based on a combination of state-of-the-art deep learning methods. After we collected millions of samples with our method, we used a deep learning approach to train a classifier to detect people and cars. Our results show that, based only on spectral signature classification, we can achieve an Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.83. We evaluate our classification method in areas with varying vegetation and discuss the limitations and constraints that the current hyperspectral imaging technology has. We conclude that spectral signature classification is possible with high accuracy in uncontrolled outdoor environments. Nevertheless, even with state-of-the-art compact passive hyperspectral imaging technology, high dynamic range of illumination and relatively low image resolution continue to pose major challenges when developing object detection algorithms for areas of dense vegetation.

Hyperspectral imaging allows for analysis of images in several hundred of spectral bands depending on the spectral resolution of the imaging sensor. Hyperspectral document image is the one which has been captured by a hyperspectral camera so that the document can be observed in the different bands on the basis of their unique spectral signatures. To detect the forgery in a document various Ink mismatch detection techniques based on hyperspectral imaging have presented vast potential in differentiating visually similar inks. Inks of different materials exhibit different spectral signature even if they have the same color. Hyperspectral analysis of document images allows identification and discrimination of visually similar inks. Based on this analysis forensic experts can identify the authenticity of the document. In this paper an extensive ink mismatch detection technique is presented which uses KMean Clustering to identify different inks on the basis of their unique spectral response and separates them into different clusters.

AbstractHyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a noninvasive optical modality that holds promise for early detection of tongue lesions. Spectral signatures generated by HSI contain important diagnostic information that can be used to predict the disease status of the examined biological tissue. However, the underlying pathophysiology for the spectral difference between normal and neoplastic tissue is not well understood. Here, we propose to leverage digital pathology and predictive modeling to select the most discriminative features from digitized histological images to differentiate tongue neoplasia from normal tissue, and then correlate these discriminative pathological features with corresponding spectral signatures of the neoplasia. We demonstrated the association between the histological features quantifying the architectural features of neoplasia on a microscopic scale, with the spectral signature of the corresponding tissue measured by HSI on a macroscopic level. This study may provide insight into the pathophysiology underlying the hyperspectral dataset.

<p>SMILES randomization, a form of data augmentation, has previously been shown to increase the performance of deep learning models compared to non-augmented baselines. Here, we propose a novel data augmentation method we call “Levenshtein augmentation” which considers local SMILES sub-sequence similarity between reactants and their respective products when creating training pairs. The performance of Levenshtein augmentation was tested using two state of the art models - transformer and sequence-to-sequence based recurrent neural networks with attention. Levenshtein augmentation demonstrated an increase performance over non-augmented, and conventionally SMILES randomization augmented data when used for training of baseline models. Furthermore, Levenshtein augmentation seemingly results in what we define as <i>attentional gain </i>– an enhancement in the pattern recognition capabilities of the underlying network to molecular motifs.</p>

This paper provides a state-of-the-art investigation of advances in data science in emerging economic applications. The analysis was performed on novel data science methods in four individual classes of deep learning models, hybrid deep learning models, hybrid machine learning, and ensemble models. Application domains include a wide and diverse range of economics research from the stock market, marketing, and e-commerce to corporate banking and cryptocurrency. Prisma method, a systematic literature review methodology, was used to ensure the quality of the survey. The findings reveal that the trends follow the advancement of hybrid models, which, based on the accuracy metric, outperform other learning algorithms. It is further expected that the trends will converge toward the advancements of sophisticated hybrid deep learning models.

During the last few years, RNN models have been extensively used and they have proven to be better for sequence and text data. RNNs have achieved state-of-the-art performance levels in several applications such as text classification, sequence to sequence modelling and time series forecasting. In this article we will review different Machine Learning and Deep Learning based approaches for text data and look at the results obtained from these methods. This work also explores the use of transfer learning in NLP and how it affects the performance of models on a specific application of sentiment analysis.

Rapid advances in biological research over recent years have significantly enriched biological and medical data resources. Deep learning-based techniques have been successfully utilized to process data in this field, and they have exhibited state-of-the-art performances even on high-dimensional, nonstructural, and black-box biological data. The aim of the current study is to provide an overview of the deep learning-based techniques used in biology and medicine and their state-of-the-art applications. In particular, we introduce the fundamentals of deep learning and then review the success of applying such methods to bioinformatics, biomedical imaging, biomedicine, and drug discovery. We also discuss the challenges and limitations of this field, and outline possible directions for further research.

In this work, we propose a novel approach for correcting multi-path interference (MPI) in Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras by estimating the direct and global components of the incoming light. MPI is an error source linked to the multiple reflections of light inside a scene; each sensor pixel receives information coming from different light paths which generally leads to an overestimation of the depth. We introduce a novel deep learning approach, which estimates the structure of the time-dependent scene impulse response and from it recovers a depth image with a reduced amount of MPI. The model consists of two main blocks: a predictive model that learns a compact encoded representation of the backscattering vector from the noisy input data and a fixed backscattering model which translates the encoded representation into the high dimensional light response. Experimental results on real data show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which reaches state-of-the-art performances.
