Compressed sensing (CS) is a sampling theory that allows reconstruction of sparse (or compressible) signals from an incomplete number of measurements, using of a sensing mechanism implemented by an appropriate projection matrix. The CS theory is based on random Gaussian projection matrices, which satisfy recovery guara...

Framing U-Net via Deep Convolutional Framelets: Application to Sparse-view CT
cs.CV
X-ray computed tomography (CT) using sparse projection views is a recent approach to reduce the radiation dose. However, due to the insufficient projection views, an analytic reconstruction approach using the filtered back projection (FBP) produces severe streaking artifacts. Recently, deep learning approaches using la...

On denoising autoencoders trained to minimise binary cross-entropy
cs.CV
Denoising autoencoders (DAEs) are powerful deep learning models used for feature extraction, data generation and network pre-training. DAEs consist of an encoder and decoder which may be trained simultaneously to minimise a loss (function) between an input and the reconstruction of a corrupted version of the input. The...

Multi-Layer Convolutional Sparse Modeling: Pursuit and Dictionary Learning
cs.CV
The recently proposed Multi-Layer Convolutional Sparse Coding (ML-CSC) model, consisting of a cascade of convolutional sparse layers, provides a new interpretation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Under this framework, the computation of the forward pass in a CNN is equivalent to a pursuit algorithm aiming to e...

Multi-view Low-rank Sparse Subspace Clustering
cs.CV
Most existing approaches address multi-view subspace clustering problem by constructing the affinity matrix on each view separately and afterwards propose how to extend spectral clustering algorithm to handle multi-view data. This paper presents an approach to multi-view subspace clustering that learns a joint subspace...

Hierarchical loss for classification
cs.LG
Failing to distinguish between a sheepdog and a skyscraper should be worse and penalized more than failing to distinguish between a sheepdog and a poodle; after all, sheepdogs and poodles are both breeds of dogs. However, existing metrics of failure (so-called "loss" or "win") used in textual or visual classification/r...

Learning to Compose Domain-Specific Transformations for Data Augmentation
stat.ML
Data augmentation is a ubiquitous technique for increasing the size of labeled training sets by leveraging task-specific data transformations that preserve class labels. While it is often easy for domain experts to specify individual transformations, constructing and tuning the more sophisticated compositions typically...

Deep learning from crowds
stat.ML
Over the last few years, deep learning has revolutionized the field of machine learning by dramatically improving the state-of-the-art in various domains. However, as the size of supervised artificial neural networks grows, typically so does the need for larger labeled datasets. Recently, crowdsourcing has established ...

Clustering of Data with Missing Entries using Non-convex Fusion Penalties
cs.CV
The presence of missing entries in data often creates challenges for pattern recognition algorithms. Traditional algorithms for clustering data assume that all the feature values are known for every data point. We propose a method to cluster data in the presence of missing information. Unlike conventional clustering te...

Adaptive PCA for Time-Varying Data
stat.ML
In this paper, we present an online adaptive PCA algorithm that is able to compute the full dimensional eigenspace per new time-step of sequential data. The algorithm is based on a one-step update rule that considers all second order correlations between previous samples and the new time-step. Our algorithm has O(n) co...

Simultaneously Learning Neighborship and Projection Matrix for Supervised Dimensionality Reduction
cs.CV
Explicitly or implicitly, most of dimensionality reduction methods need to determine which samples are neighbors and the similarity between the neighbors in the original highdimensional space. The projection matrix is then learned on the assumption that the neighborhood information (e.g., the similarity) is known and f...

Co-training for Demographic Classification Using Deep Learning from Label Proportions
cs.CV
Deep learning algorithms have recently produced state-of-the-art accuracy in many classification tasks, but this success is typically dependent on access to many annotated training examples. For domains without such data, an attractive alternative is to train models with light, or distant supervision. In this paper, we...

Subspace Clustering using Ensembles of $K$-Subspaces
cs.CV
We present a novel approach to the subspace clustering problem that leverages ensembles of the $K$-subspaces (KSS) algorithm via the evidence accumulation clustering framework. Our algorithm forms a co-association matrix whose $(i,j)$th entry is the number of times points $i$ and $j$ are clustered together by several r...

Informed Non-convex Robust Principal Component Analysis with Features
stat.ML
We revisit the problem of robust principal component analysis with features acting as prior side information. To this aim, a novel, elegant, non-convex optimization approach is proposed to decompose a given observation matrix into a low-rank core and the corresponding sparse residual. Rigorous theoretical analysis of t...
