This paper proposes a novel Optical Coherence Technology (OCT)-based fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) method from frequency domain. Unlike previous approaches, we design an Frequency Feature Disentangling (FFD) model to decompose OCT-based fingerprint B-scans into four different frequency subbands like Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Through such disentangling, information superimposed in original image in spatial domain (e.g. discriminative PAD feature, invalid and redundant feature) can be separated respectively. We then let it learn different frequency codes to form their corresponding latent codes. Spoofness score which is used to distinguish PAs from bonafides is finally designed based on the latent codes. The experimental results, evaluated on the dataset with 93,200 bonafide B-scans from 137 fingers and 48,400 B-scans from 121 PAs, show that our method can remove some useless interference information superimposed in spatial domain by disentangling into frequency domain for effective PAD. In the instance-wise case, the proposed method achieves a minimum error (Err.) of 0.67%, which outperforms other compared methods and improves 81.89% than the best one.","PeriodicalId":429603,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129452648","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}

Different sub-categories of abusive language are closely related, with most aggressive comments containing personal attacks and toxic content and vice versa. We set a multi-task learning framework to detect different types of abusive content in a mental health forum to address this feature. Each classification task is treated as a subclass in a multi-class classification problem, with shared knowledge used for three related tasks: attack, aggression, and toxicity. Experimental results on three sub-types of Wikipedia abusive language datasets show that our framework can improve the net F1-score by 7.1%, 5.6%, and 2.7% in the attack, aggressive, and toxicity detection. Our experiments identified multi tasking framework act as an effective method in abusive language detection.","PeriodicalId":429603,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134246238","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}

This method first extracts the spectrogram of audio signals and converts it into a gray-scale spectrogram as input, then uses CNN (convolutional neural network) to capture the local features, and extracts the temporal features through the Bigru (Bidirectional gated recurrent unit), and then local features and temporal features are passed to the attention mechanism layer to focus on the information related to the language features and suppress useless information. Finally the classes of language is output through the fully connected layer. Experiments on the Common voice dataset show that the method has achieved good results and improves the performance of language identification.","PeriodicalId":429603,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116736870","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}

The global pandemic that originated more than a year ago in Wuhan, China has claimed thousands of lives. Since the arrival of this plague, face mask has become part of our dressing code. The focus of this study is to design, develop and evaluate a COVID-19 fatality rate classifier at the county level. The proposed model predicts fatality rate as low, moderate, or high. This will help government and decision makers to improve mitigation strategy and provide measures to reduce the spread of the disease. Tourists and travelers will also find the work useful in planning of trips. Dataset for the experiment contained imbalanced fatality levels. Therefore, class imbalance was offset using SMOTE. Evaluation of the proposed model was based on precision, F1 score, accuracy, and ROC curve. Five learning algorithms were trained and evaluated. Experimental results showed the Bagging model has the best performance.","PeriodicalId":429603,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML)","volume":"30 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120839221","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}
