Quality inspection applications in industry are required to move towards a zero-defect manufacturing scenario, with non-destructive inspection and traceability of 100% of produced parts. Developing robust fault detection and classification models from the start-up of the lines is challenging due to the difficulty in getting enough representative samples of the faulty patterns and the need to manually label them. This work presents a methodology to develop a robust inspection system, targeting these peculiarities, in the context of solar cell manufacturing. The methodology is divided into two phases: In the first phase, an anomaly detection model based on a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is employed. This model enables the detection and localization of anomalous patterns within the solar cells from the beginning, using only non-defective samples for training and without any manual labeling involved. In a second stage, as defective samples arise, the detected anomalies will be used as automatically generated annotations for the supervised training of a Fully Convolutional Network that is capable of detecting multiple types of faults. The experimental results using 1873 Electroluminescence (EL) images of monocrystalline cells show that (a) the anomaly detection scheme can be used to start detecting features with very little available data, (b) the anomaly detection may serve as automatic labeling in order to train a supervised model, and (c) segmentation and classification results of supervised models trained with automatic labels are comparable to the ones obtained from the models trained with manual labels.

We aimed to use generative adversarial network (GAN)-based anomaly detection to diagnose images of normal tissue, benign masses, or malignant masses on breast ultrasound. We retrospectively collected 531 normal breast ultrasound images from 69 patients. Data augmentation was performed and 6372 (531 × 12) images were available for training. Efficient GAN-based anomaly detection was used to construct a computational model to detect anomalous lesions in images and calculate abnormalities as an anomaly score. Images of 51 normal tissues, 48 benign masses, and 72 malignant masses were analyzed for the test data. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of this anomaly detection model were calculated. Malignant masses had significantly higher anomaly scores than benign masses (p < 0.001), and benign masses had significantly higher scores than normal tissues (p < 0.001). Our anomaly detection model had high sensitivities, specificities, and AUC values for distinguishing normal tissues from benign and malignant masses, with even greater values for distinguishing normal tissues from malignant masses. GAN-based anomaly detection shows high performance for the detection and diagnosis of anomalous lesions in breast ultrasound images.

Abstract In abstractive summarization task, most of proposed models adopt the deep recurrent neural network (RNN)-based encoder-decoder architecture to learn and generate meaningful summary for a given input document. However, most of recent RNN-based models always suffer the challenges related to the involvement of much capturing high-frequency/reparative phrases in long documents during the training process which leads to the outcome of trivial and generic summaries are generated. Moreover, the lack of thorough analysis on the sequential and long-range dependency relationships between words within different contexts while learning the textual representation also make the generated summaries unnatural and incoherent. To deal with these challenges, in this paper we proposed a novel semantic-enhanced generative adversarial network (GAN)-based approach for abstractive text summarization task, called as: SGAN4AbSum. We use an adversarial training strategy for our text summarization model in which train the generator and discriminator to simultaneously handle the summary generation and distinguishing the generated summary with the ground-truth one. The input of generator is the jointed rich-semantic and global structural latent representations of training documents which are achieved by applying a combined BERT and graph convolutional network (GCN) textual embedding mechanism. Extensive experiments in benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed SGAN4AbSum which achieve the competitive ROUGE-based scores in comparing with state-of-the-art abstractive text summarization baselines.

There are a large number of insulators on the transmission line, and insulator damage will have a major impact on power supply security. Image-based segmentation of the insulators in the power transmission lines is a premise and also a critical task for power line inspection. In this paper, a modified conditional generative adversarial network for insulator pixel-level segmentation is proposed. The generator is reconstructed by encoder-decoder layers with asymmetric convolution kernel which can simplify the network complexity and extract more kinds of feature information. The discriminator is composed of a fully convolutional network based on patchGAN and learns the loss to train the generator. It is verified in experiments that the proposed method has better performances on mIoU and computational efficiency than Pix2pix, SegNet, and other state-of-the-art networks.

Convolutional Neural Network- (CNN-) based GAN models mainly suffer from problems such as data set limitation and rendering efficiency in the segmentation and rendering of painting art. In order to solve these problems, this paper uses the improved cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) to render the current image style. This method replaces the deep residual network (ResNet) of the original network generator with a dense connected convolutional network (DenseNet) and uses the perceptual loss function for adversarial training. The painting art style rendering system built in this paper is based on perceptual adversarial network (PAN) for the improved CycleGAN that suppresses the limitation of the network model on paired samples. The proposed method also improves the quality of the image generated by the artistic style of painting and further improves the stability and speeds up the network convergence speed. Experiments were conducted on the painting art style rendering system based on the proposed model. Experimental results have shown that the image style rendering method based on the perceptual adversarial error to improve the CycleGAN + PAN model can achieve better results. The PSNR value of the generated image is increased by 6.27% on average, and the SSIM values are all increased by about 10%. Therefore, the improved CycleGAN + PAN image painting art style rendering method produces better painting art style images, which has strong application value.
