Deep Learning
Introduction to Artificial Neural Network
Deep learning is a form of Machine Learning that uses a model of computing that's very much inspired by the structure of the Human brain. Let's review the structure of neuron: Here we can see that, there are several parts of neuron doing several works. Inspiring by this typical structure of neuron and it's working, Artificial Neural Network works. After getting the output, Loss function is calculated in order to check accuracy . Loss function: It is summation of squared of difference of actual to predicted value of output.
In the future, the pictures we take could move. Here's how
To estimate motion, the team trained a neural network with thousands of videos of waterfalls, rivers, oceans, and other material with fluid motion. The training process consisted of asking the network to guess the motion of a video when only given the first frame. After comparing its prediction with the actual video, the network learned to identify clues--ripples in a stream, for example--to help it predict what happened next. Then the team's system uses that information to determine if and how each pixel should move.
New Approach to Attain General Artificial Intelligence • Uteckie
Artificial intelligence experts DeepMind is perhaps one of the most advanced and renowned in the world. They are behind the most advanced artificial intelligence systems such as the famous Alpha Zero and Alpha Go. Recently however they made news when they submitted a paper to the peer-reviewed Artificial Intelligence journal. In it they propose that'reinforcement learning' will be enough to make machines attain general artificial intelligence as seen in humans and animals. This is commonly known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) results from chronic remodeling caused by a broad range of systemic and cardiovascular disease including hypertension, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac amyloidosis. Early detection and characterization of LVH can significantly impact patient care but is limited by under-recognition of hypertrophy, measurement error and variability, and difficulty differentiating etiologies of LVH. To overcome this challenge, we present EchoNet-LVH - a deep learning workflow that automatically quantifies ventricular hypertrophy with precision equal to human experts and predicts etiology of LVH. Trained on 28,201 echocardiogram videos, our model accurately measures intraventricular wall thickness (mean absolute error [MAE] 1.4mm, 95% CI 1.2-1.5mm), left ventricular diameter (MAE 2.4mm, 95% CI 2.2-2.6mm), and posterior wall thickness (MAE 1.2mm, 95% CI 1.1-1.3mm) and classifies cardiac amyloidosis (area under the curve of 0.83) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AUC 0.98) from other etiologies of LVH. In external datasets from independent domestic and international healthcare systems, EchoNet-LVH accurately quantified ventricular parameters (R2 of 0.96 and 0.90 respectively) and detected cardiac amyloidosis (AUC 0.79) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AUC 0.89) on the domestic external validation site. Leveraging measurements across multiple heart beats, our model can more accurately identify subtle changes in LV geometry and its causal etiologies. Compared to human experts, EchoNet-LVH is fully automated, allowing for reproducible, precise measurements, and lays the foundation for precision diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy. As a resource to promote further innovation, we also make publicly available a large dataset of 23,212 annotated echocardiogram videos.
Universal Adversarial Perturbations for CNN Classifiers in EEG-Based BCIs
Liu, Zihan, Meng, Lubin, Zhang, Xiao, Fang, Weili, Wu, Dongrui
Multiple convolutional neural network (CNN) classifiers have been proposed for electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, CNN models have been found vulnerable to universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs), which are small and example-independent, yet powerful enough to degrade the performance of a CNN model, when added to a benign example. This paper proposes a novel total loss minimization (TLM) approach to generate UAPs for EEG-based BCIs. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of TLM on three popular CNN classifiers for both target and non-target attacks. We also verified the transferability of UAPs in EEG-based BCI systems. To our knowledge, this is the first study on UAPs of CNN classifiers in EEG-based BCIs. UAPs are easy to construct, and can attack BCIs in real-time, exposing a potentially critical security concern of BCIs.
Algorithm Based on One Monocular Video Delivers Highly Valid and Reliable Gait Parameters
Azhand, Arash, Rabe, Sophie, Müller, Swantje, Sattler, Igor, Steinert, Anika
Despite its paramount importance for manifold use cases (e.g., in the health care industry, sports, rehabilitation and fitness assessment), sufficiently valid and reliable gait parameter measurement is still limited to high-tech gait laboratories mostly. Here, we demonstrate the excellent validity and test-retest repeatability of a novel gait assessment system which is built upon modern convolutional neural networks to extract three-dimensional skeleton joints from monocular frontal-view videos of walking humans. The validity study is based on a comparison to the GAITRite pressure-sensitive walkway system. All measured gait parameters (gait speed, cadence, step length and step time) showed excellent concurrent validity for multiple walk trials at normal and fast gait speeds. The test-retest-repeatability is on the same level as the GAITRite system. In conclusion, we are convinced that our results can pave the way for cost, space and operationally effective gait analysis in broad mainstream applications. Most sensor-based systems are costly, must be operated by extensively trained personnel (e.g., motion capture systems) or - even if not quite as costly - still possess considerable complexity (e.g., wearable sensors). In contrast, a video sufficient for the assessment method presented here can be obtained by anyone, without much training, via a smartphone camera.
MegazordNet: combining statistical and machine learning standpoints for time series forecasting
Menezes, Angelo Garangau, Mastelini, Saulo Martiello
Forecasting financial time series is considered to be a difficult task due to the chaotic feature of the series. Statistical approaches have shown solid results in some specific problems such as predicting market direction and single-price of stocks; however, with the recent advances in deep learning and big data techniques, new promising options have arises to tackle financial time series forecasting. Moreover, recent literature has shown that employing a combination of statistics and machine learning may improve accuracy in the forecasts in comparison to single solutions. Taking into consideration the mentioned aspects, in this work, we proposed the MegazordNet, a framework that explores statistical features within a financial series combined with a structured deep learning model for time series forecasting. We evaluated our approach predicting the closing price of stocks in the S&P 500 using different metrics, and we were able to beat single statistical and machine learning methods.
Multi-objective Asynchronous Successive Halving
Schmucker, Robin, Donini, Michele, Zafar, Muhammad Bilal, Salinas, David, Archambeau, Cédric
Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) is increasingly used to automatically tune the predictive performance (e.g., accuracy) of machine learning models. However, in a plethora of real-world applications, accuracy is only one of the multiple -- often conflicting -- performance criteria, necessitating the adoption of a multi-objective (MO) perspective. While the literature on MO optimization is rich, few prior studies have focused on HPO. In this paper, we propose algorithms that extend asynchronous successive halving (ASHA) to the MO setting. Considering multiple evaluation metrics, we assess the performance of these methods on three real world tasks: (i) Neural architecture search, (ii) algorithmic fairness and (iii) language model optimization. Our empirical analysis shows that MO ASHA enables to perform MO HPO at scale. Further, we observe that that taking the entire Pareto front into account for candidate selection consistently outperforms multi-fidelity HPO based on MO scalarization in terms of wall-clock time. Our algorithms (to be open-sourced) establish new baselines for future research in the area.
Bayesian Deep Learning Hyperparameter Search for Robust Function Mapping to Polynomials with Noise
Harilal, Nidhin, Bhatia, Udit, Ganguly, Auroop R.
Advances in neural architecture search, as well as explainability and interpretability of connectionist architectures, have been reported in the recent literature. However, our understanding of how to design Bayesian Deep Learning (BDL) hyperparameters, specifically, the depth, width and ensemble size, for robust function mapping with uncertainty quantification, is still emerging. This paper attempts to further our understanding by mapping Bayesian connectionist representations to polynomials of different orders with varying noise types and ratios. We examine the noise-contaminated polynomials to search for the combination of hyperparameters that can extract the underlying polynomial signals while quantifying uncertainties based on the noise attributes. Specifically, we attempt to study the question that an appropriate neural architecture and ensemble configuration can be found to detect a signal of any n-th order polynomial contaminated with noise having different distributions and signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios and varying noise attributes. Our results suggest the possible existence of an optimal network depth as well as an optimal number of ensembles for prediction skills and uncertainty quantification, respectively. However, optimality is not discernible for width, even though the performance gain reduces with increasing width at high values of width. Our experiments and insights can be directional to understand theoretical properties of BDL representations and to design practical solutions.
Universal Consistency of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Lin, Shao-Bo, Wang, Kaidong, Wang, Yao, Zhou, Ding-Xuan
Compared with avid research activities of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) in practice, the study of theoretical behaviors of DCNNs lags heavily behind. In particular, the universal consistency of DCNNs remains open. In this paper, we prove that implementing empirical risk minimization on DCNNs with expansive convolution (with zero-padding) is strongly universally consistent. Motivated by the universal consistency, we conduct a series of experiments to show that without any fully connected layers, DCNNs with expansive convolution perform not worse than the widely used deep neural networks with hybrid structure containing contracting (without zero-padding) convolution layers and several fully connected layers.
