Most of privacy protection studies for textual data focus on removing explicit sensitive identifiers. However, personal writing style, as a strong indicator of the authorship, is often neglected. Recent studies on writing style anonymization can only output numeric vectors which are difficult for the recipients to inte...
Writing Style obfuscation studies try to hide the identity of the author. Anonymouth @cite_40 is a tool that utilizes to generate writing attributes. It gives users suggestions on which way they are able to anonymize their text according to two reference dataset. also propose a similar architecture to anonymize text, h...

Regularization in the optimization of deep neural networks is often critical to avoid undesirable over-fitting leading to better generalization of model. One of the most popular regularization algorithms is to impose @math penalty on the model parameters resulting in the decay of parameters, called weight-decay, and th...
Weight-Decay: is an explicit way of regularization such that a regularization term is added into the energy function. Specifically @math -norm is used as the regularization term in order to penalize large weight values. Different with the other implicit methods, e.g., stochastic update and dropout, one can directly con...

A problem in approaches such as word2vec @cite_2 is that the model does not consider the morphology of the words, applying a distinct vector to each word. This is a limitation, especially for languages with large vocabularies and many rare words. These languages contain many word forms that rarely occur in the training...

Community detection refers to the task of discovering groups of vertices sharing similar properties or functions so as to understand the network data. With the recent development of deep learning, graph representation learning techniques are also utilized for community detection. However, the communities can only be in...
Many community detection algorithms have been proposed from different perspectives. One direction is to design some measure of the quality of a community like modularity, and community structure can be uncovered by optimizing such measures @cite_15 @cite_18 .

Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is to record muscles' electrical activity from a restricted area of the skin by using electrodes.

From the perspective of contraction pattern, hand gestures can determine muscles to be contracted in an isotonic, isometric or mixed pattern. Isotonic contractions involve muscular contractions against resistance in which the length of the muscle changes. Contrary to isotonic contractions, isometric contractions create...

Muscles generate electric voltage during contraction detraction. EMG detectors measure this signal through electrodes that are attached to the skin. A digital-analogue conversion is performed with a sampling rate of 100 up to 2000 Hz and the outcome is usually normalized into a range of [-1.0, 1.0]. The typical bandwid...

Reliably detecting anomalies in a given set of images is a task of high practical relevance for visual quality inspection, surveillance, or medical image analysis. Autoencoder neural networks learn to reconstruct normal images, and hence can classify those images as anomalies, where the reconstruction error exceeds som...
Almost all approaches for anomaly detection with autoencoders require the training data to consist of normal examples only, but this alone is no guarantee for anomalies to have large reconstruction errors. Robust deep autoencoders @cite_12 address this issue by combining denoising autoencoders with robust PCA, thereby ...
