APPLE Picker: Automatic Particle Picking, a Low-Effort Cryo-EM Framework
cs.CV
Particle picking is a crucial first step in the computational pipeline of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Selecting particles from the micrographs is difficult especially for small particles with low contrast. As high-resolution reconstruction typically requires hundreds of thousands of particles, m...

Learning random-walk label propagation for weakly-supervised semantic segmentation
cs.CV
Large-scale training for semantic segmentation is challenging due to the expense of obtaining training data for this task relative to other vision tasks. We propose a novel training approach to address this difficulty. Given cheaply-obtained sparse image labelings, we propagate the sparse labels to produce guessed dens...

A New Registration Approach for Dynamic Analysis of Calcium Signals in Organs
cs.CV
Wing disc pouches of fruit flies are a powerful genetic model for studying physiological intercellular calcium ($Ca^{2+}$) signals for dynamic analysis of cell signaling in organ development and disease studies. A key to analyzing spatial-temporal patterns of $Ca^{2+}$ signal waves is to accurately align the pouches ac...

Learning Semantic Segmentation with Diverse Supervision
cs.CV
Models based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have significantly improved the performance of semantic segmentation. However, learning these models requires a large amount of training images with pixel-level labels, which are very costly and time-consuming to collect. In this paper, we propose a method for le...

Complex Network Classification with Convolutional Neural Network
cs.CV
Classifying large scale networks into several categories and distinguishing them according to their fine structures is of great importance with several applications in real life. However, most studies of complex networks focus on properties of a single network but seldom on classification, clustering, and comparison be...

ExpNet: Landmark-Free, Deep, 3D Facial Expressions
cs.CV
We describe a deep learning based method for estimating 3D facial expression coefficients. Unlike previous work, our process does not relay on facial landmark detection methods as a proxy step. Recent methods have shown that a CNN can be trained to regress accurate and discriminative 3D morphable model (3DMM) represent...

Visual Interpretability for Deep Learning: a Survey
cs.CV
This paper reviews recent studies in understanding neural-network representations and learning neural networks with interpretable/disentangled middle-layer representations. Although deep neural networks have exhibited superior performance in various tasks, the interpretability is always the Achilles' heel of deep neura...

Activity-conditioned continuous human pose estimation for performance analysis of athletes using the example of swimming
cs.CV
In this paper we consider the problem of human pose estimation in real-world videos of swimmers. Swimming channels allow filming swimmers simultaneously above and below the water surface with a single stationary camera. These recordings can be used to quantitatively assess the athletes' performance. The quantitative ev...

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Breast Cancer Histology Image Analysis
cs.CV
Breast cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death worldwide. Early diagnostics significantly increases the chances of correct treatment and survival, but this process is tedious and often leads to a disagreement between pathologists. Computer-aided diagnosis systems showed potential for improving the diagnostic a...

Learning Attribute Representation for Human Activity Recognition
cs.CV
Attribute representations became relevant in image recognition and word spotting, providing support under the presence of unbalance and disjoint datasets. However, for human activity recognition using sequential data from on-body sensors, human-labeled attributes are lacking. This paper introduces a search for attribut...

No Modes left behind: Capturing the data distribution effectively using GANs
cs.CV
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) while being very versatile in realistic image synthesis, still are sensitive to the input distribution. Given a set of data that has an imbalance in the distribution, the networks are susceptible to missing modes and not capturing the data distribution. While various methods have ...

Incremental Classifier Learning with Generative Adversarial Networks
cs.CV
In this paper, we address the incremental classifier learning problem, which suffers from catastrophic forgetting. The main reason for catastrophic forgetting is that the past data are not available during learning. Typical approaches keep some exemplars for the past classes and use distillation regularization to retai...
