Hence, we propose in this paper a fast algorithm able to expose man-made invisible modifications on molecular-biological images. We designed an optimization equation to separate the approximated trend component from the input image. Then, we utilize the difference between the input and its approximated trend to bring out the discontinuities within the input image. We applied our method on a blind test image set and images extracted from papers that have been questioned by the public. The experiment results show that there indeed exist unnatural patterns on several screened images. Because screening for fabricated images on published papers is a sensitive topic, our MATLAB code will be released only after we present this paper at IEEE GlobalSIP 2018.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116508479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They rely on interactions between devices with no human supervision. This will help to the advent of a plethora of applications such as the Internet-of-Things. Part of the research within this field deals with coordinating the access of a large number of devices to the network, the so-called massive machine-type-communications. In this paper, we focus on the evaluation of the data rate for that scenario, based on an approximation of the statistics of the aggregated interference that depends on the sensors activity. We will consider that the sensors can be in either active or sleep mode, modeled as a Bernoulli random variable. This results in an aggregated interference that follows a discrete distribution whose computation becomes unfeasible with the number of devices. That is why two alternatives are presented to replace the original magnitude and work with an analytic closed form expression approximating the actual statistics. Our approaches are derived using the Chernoff bound and a Gaussian approximation based on Lyapunov’s central limit theorem. The average rate is found in both cases and compared with the actual values in different setups. Monte-Carlo simulations will be used for this task.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133767003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, novel framework that generalises classic flat-view ensemble learning to multidimensional tensor-valued data is introduced. This is achieved by virtue of tensor decompositions, whereby the proposed method, referred to as tensor ensemble learning (TEL), decomposes every input data sample into multiple factors which allows for a flexibility in the choice of multiple learning algorithms in order to improve test performance. The TEL framework is shown to naturally compress multidimensional data in order to take advantage of the inherent multi-way data structure and exploit the benefit of ensemble learning. The proposed framework is verified through the application of Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) to the ETH-80 dataset and is shown to outperform the classical ensemble learning approach of bootstrap aggregating.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123809612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a novel Error-Corrected Deep Cross Modal Hashing (CMH-ECC) method which uses a bitmap specifying the presence of certain facial attributes as an input query to retrieve relevant face images from the database. In this architecture, we generate compact hash codes using an end-to-end deep learning module, which effectively captures the inherent relationships between the face and attribute modality. We also integrate our deep learning module with forward error correction codes to further reduce the distance between different modalities of the same subject. Specifically, the properties of deep hashing and forward error correction codes are exploited to design a cross modal hashing framework with high retrieval performance. Experimental results using two standard datasets with facial attributes-image modalities indicate that our CMH-ECC face image retrieval model outperforms most of the current attribute-based face image retrieval approaches.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122026370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four aggregation schemes are designed to exploit the spatial correlation among sensors.

The proposed method addresses face aging as an unsupervised image-to-image translation problem where the goal is to translate a face image belonging to an age class to an image of a different age class. To address this problem, we resort to adversarial training and extend the UNsupervised Image-to-image Translation (UNIT) framework to multi-domain image-to-image translation, since several age classes are considered. Due to the shared-latent space constraint of UNIT, the faces belonging to each age class/domain are forced to be mapped to a shared-latent representation. Low-level features are used to perform the transitions between the domains and to generate age progressed/regressed images. In addition, the most personal and abstract features of faces are preserved. The proposed Aging-UNIT framework is compared to state-of-the-art techniques and the ground truth. Promising results are demonstrated, which are attributed to the ability of the proposed method to capture the subtle aging transitions.","PeriodicalId":119131,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124869069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
