Deep Embedded Multi-view Clustering with Collaborative Training
Xu, Jie, Ren, Yazhou, Li, Guofeng, Pan, Lili, Zhu, Ce, Xu, Zenglin
Multi-view clustering has attracted increasing attentions recently by utilizing information from multiple views. However, existing multi-view clustering methods are either with high computation and space complexities, or lack of representation capability. To address these issues, we propose deep embedded multi-view clustering with collaborative training (DEMVC) in this paper. Firstly, the embedded representations of multiple views are learned individually by deep autoencoders. Then, both consensus and complementary of multiple views are taken into account and a novel collaborative training scheme is proposed. Concretely, the feature representations and cluster assignments of all views are learned collaboratively. A new consistency strategy for cluster centers initialization is further developed to improve the multi-view clustering performance with collaborative training. Experimental results on several popular multi-view datasets show that DEMVC achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods.
Learning to Match Distributions for Domain Adaptation
Yu, Chaohui, Wang, Jindong, Liu, Chang, Qin, Tao, Xu, Renjun, Feng, Wenjie, Chen, Yiqiang, Liu, Tie-Yan
When the training and test data are from different distributions, domain adaptation is needed to reduce dataset bias to improve the model's generalization ability. Since it is difficult to directly match the cross-domain joint distributions, existing methods tend to reduce the marginal or conditional distribution divergence using predefined distances such as MMD and adversarial-based discrepancies. However, it remains challenging to determine which method is suitable for a given application since they are built with certain priors or bias. Thus they may fail to uncover the underlying relationship between transferable features and joint distributions. This paper proposes Learning to Match (L2M) to automatically learn the cross-domain distribution matching without relying on hand-crafted priors on the matching loss. Instead, L2M reduces the inductive bias by using a meta-network to learn the distribution matching loss in a data-driven way. L2M is a general framework that unifies task-independent and human-designed matching features. We design a novel optimization algorithm for this challenging objective with self-supervised label propagation. Experiments on public datasets substantiate the superiority of L2M over SOTA methods. Moreover, we apply L2M to transfer from pneumonia to COVID-19 chest X-ray images with remarkable performance. L2M can also be extended in other distribution matching applications where we show in a trial experiment that L2M generates more realistic and sharper MNIST samples.
Deep Learning for Neuroimaging-based Diagnosis and Rehabilitation of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review
Khodatars, Marjane, Shoeibi, Afshin, Ghassemi, Navid, Jafari, Mahboobeh, Khadem, Ali, Sadeghi, Delaram, Moridian, Parisa, Hussain, Sadiq, Alizadehsani, Roohallah, Zare, Assef, Khosravi, Abbas, Nahavandi, Saeid, Acharya, U. Rajendra, Berk, Michael
Accurate diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is essential for its management and rehabilitation. Neuroimaging techniques that are non-invasive are disease markers and may be leveraged to aid ASD diagnosis. Structural and functional neuroimaging techniques provide physicians substantial information about the structure (anatomy and structural connectivity) and function (activity and functional connectivity) of the brain. Due to the intricate structure and function of the brain, diagnosing ASD with neuroimaging data without exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is extremely challenging. AI techniques comprise traditional machine learning (ML) approaches and deep learning (DL) techniques. Conventional ML methods employ various feature extraction and classification techniques, but in DL, the process of feature extraction and classification is accomplished intelligently and integrally. In this paper, studies conducted with the aid of DL networks to distinguish ASD were investigated. Rehabilitation tools provided by supporting ASD patients utilizing DL networks were also assessed. Finally, we presented important challenges in this automated detection and rehabilitation of ASD.

These days, everyone seems to be talking about deep learning, but in fact there was a time when support vector machines were seen as superior to neural networks. One of the things you'll learn about in this course is that a support vector machine actually is a neural network, and they essentially look identical if you were to draw a diagram. The toughest obstacle to overcome when you're learning about support vector machines is that they are very theoretical. This theory very easily scares a lot of people away, and it might feel like learning about support vector machines is beyond your ability.

Applying Dimensionality Reduction with PCA to Cancer Data
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful and well-established data transformation method that can be used for data visualization, dimensionality reduction, and possibly improved performance with supervised learning tasks. In this use case blog, we examine a dataset consisting of measurements of benign and malignant tumors which are computed from digital images of a fine needle aspirate of breast mass tissue. Specifically, these 30 variables describe specific characteristics of the cell nuclei present in the images, such as texture symmetry and radius. The first step in applying PCA to this process was to see if we can more easily visualize separation between the malignant and benign classes in two dimensions. To do this, we first divide our dataset into train and test sets and perform the PCA using only the training data.
[D] What's the best deep-dive explanation of XGBoost hyperparameters out there?
I'm not a total newbie, so I'd thank for all those "how to get started with xgboost" articles which there are plenty of. I remember having bumped into a site or blog with a great and comprehensive summary of each hyperparameter, but I lost that link and can't find it know from search. As far as I remember, it had a hyperparameter menu on the left, probably referred to all boosting trees and their hyperparameters and was created by some women. Anybody can recall that source?
Overview of Clustering Algorithms
Clustering is an unsupervised technique in which the set of similar data points is grouped together to form a cluster. A Cluster is said to be good if the intra-cluster (the data points within the same cluster) similarity is high and the inter-cluster (the data points outside the cluster) similarity is low. Clustering could also be viewed as a Data Compression technique in which the data points of a cluster can be treated as a group. Clustering is also called Data Segmentation because it partitions the data such that a group of similar data points forms a cluster. Classification Algorithms are good techniques to distinguish between groups and classify.
Three-stage intelligent support of clinical decision making for higher trust, validity, and explainability
Kovalchuk, Sergey V., Kopanitsa, Georgy D., Derevitskii, Ilia V., Savitskaya, Daria A.
The paper presents the approach for the building of consistent and applicable clinical decision support systems (CDSS) using a data-driven predictive model aimed to resolve a problem of low applicability and scalability of CDSS in real-world applications. The approach is based on the three-stage application of domain-specific and data-driven supportive procedures to integrate into clinical business-processes with higher trust and explainability of the prediction results and recommendations. Within the considered three stages, the regulatory policy, data-driven modes, and interpretation procedures are integrated to enable natural domain-specific interaction with decision-makers with sequential narrowing of the intelligent decision support focus. The proposed methodology enables a higher level of automation, scalability, and semantic interpretability of CDSS. The approach was implemented in software solutions and tested within a case study in T2DM prediction, enabling to improve known clinical scales (such as FINDRISK), keeping the problem-specific reasoning interface similar to existing applications. Such inheritance, together with the three-stages approach, provide higher compatibility of the solution and leads to trust, valid, and explainable application of data-driven solution in real-world cases.
AutoClip: Adaptive Gradient Clipping for Source Separation Networks
Seetharaman, Prem, Wichern, Gordon, Pardo, Bryan, Roux, Jonathan Le
Clipping the gradient is a known approach to improving gradient descent, but requires hand selection of a clipping threshold hyperparameter. We present AutoClip, a simple method for automatically and adaptively choosing a gradient clipping threshold, based on the history of gradient norms observed during training. Experimental results show that applying AutoClip results in improved generalization performance for audio source separation networks. Observation of the training dynamics of a separation network trained with and without AutoClip show that AutoClip guides optimization into smoother parts of the loss landscape. AutoClip is very simple to implement and can be integrated readily into a variety of applications across multiple domains.
