We propose a multi-resolution convolutional autoencoder (MrCAE) architecture that integrates and leverages three highly successful mathematical architectures: (i) multigrid methods, (ii) convolutional autoencoders and (iii) transfer learning. The method provides an adaptive, hierarchical architecture that capitalizes on a progressive training approach for multiscale spatio-temporal data. This framework allows for inputs across multiple scales: starting from a compact (small number of weights) network architecture and low-resolution data, our network progressively deepens and widens itself in a principled manner to encode new information in the higher resolution data based on its current performance of reconstruction. Basic transfer learning techniques are applied to ensure information learned from previous training steps can be rapidly transferred to the larger network. As a result, the network can dynamically capture different scaled features at different depths of the network. The performance gains of this adaptive multiscale architecture are illustrated through a sequence of numerical experiments on synthetic examples and real-world spatial-temporal data.

Human falls rarely occur; however, detecting falls is very important from the health and safety perspective. Due to the rarity of falls, it is difficult to employ supervised classification techniques to detect them. Moreover, in these highly skewed situations it is also difficult to extract domain specific features to identify falls. In this paper, we present a novel framework, \textit{DeepFall}, which formulates the fall detection problem as an anomaly detection problem. The \textit{DeepFall} framework presents the novel use of deep spatio-temporal convolutional autoencoders to learn spatial …
In this paper, we propose Multiresolution Equivariant Graph Variational Autoencoders (MGVAE), the first hierarchical generative model to learn and generate graphs in a multiresolution and equivariant manner. At each resolution level, MGVAE employs higher order message passing to encode the graph while learning to partition it into mutually exclusive clusters and coarsening into a lower resolution that eventually creates a hierarchy of latent distributions. MGVAE then constructs a hierarchical generative model to variationally decode into a hierarchy of coarsened graphs. Importantly, our propos…
Time series clustering is a challenging task due to the specific nature of the data. Classical approaches do not perform well and need to be adapted either through a new distance measure or a data transformation. In this paper we investigate the combination of a convolutional autoencoder and a k-medoids algorithm to perfom time series clustering. The convolutional autoencoder allows to extract meaningful features and reduce the dimension of the data, leading to an improvement of the subsequent clustering. Using simulation and energy related data to validate the approach, experimental results s…

We present multiresolution tree-structured networks to process point clouds for 3D shape understanding and generation tasks. Our network represents a 3D shape as a set of locality-preserving 1D ordered list of points at multiple resolutions. This allows efficient feed-forward processing through 1D convolutions, coarse-to-fine analysis through a multi-grid architecture, and it leads to faster convergence and small memory footprint during training. The proposed tree-structured encoders can be used to classify shapes and outperform existing point-based architectures on shape classification benchm…

Spatial and spectral approaches are two major approaches for image processing tasks such as image classification and object recognition. Among many such algorithms, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently achieved significant performance improvement in many challenging tasks. Since CNNs process images directly in the spatial domain, they are essentially spatial approaches. Given that spatial and spectral approaches are known to have different characteristics, it will be interesting to incorporate a spectral approach into CNNs. We propose a novel CNN architecture, wavelet CNNs, which…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have recently caught great attention and achieved significant progress in graph-level applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for graph neural networks with multiresolution Haar-like wavelets, or MathNet, with interrelated convolution and pooling strategies. The underlying method takes graphs in different structures as input and assembles consistent graph representations for readout layers, which then accomplishes label prediction. To achieve this, the multiresolution graph representations are first constructed and fed into graph convolutional layers fo…

We propose a novel neural network architecture, called autoencoder-constrained graph convolutional network, to solve node classification task on graph domains. As suggested by its name, the core of this model is a convolutional network operating directly on graphs, whose hidden layers are constrained by an autoencoder. Comparing with vanilla graph convolutional networks, the autoencoder step is added to reduce the information loss brought by Laplacian smoothing. We consider applying our model on both homogeneous graphs and heterogeneous graphs. For homogeneous graphs, the autoencoder approxima…
This study attempts to analyze patterns in cryptocurrency markets using a special type of deep neural networks, namely a convolutional autoencoder. The method extracts the dominant features of market behavior and classifies the 40 studied cryptocurrencies into several classes for twelve 6-month periods starting from 15th May 2013. Transitions from one class to another with time are related to the maturement of cryptocurrencies. In speculative cryptocurrency markets, these findings have potential implications for investment and trading strategies.
Brain tumor segmentation is a challenging problem in medical image analysis. The endpoint is to generate the salient masks that accurately identify brain tumor regions in an fMRI screening. In this paper, we propose a novel attention gate (AG model) for brain tumor segmentation that utilizes both the edge detecting unit and the attention gated network to highlight and segment the salient regions from fMRI images. This feature enables us to eliminate the necessity of having to explicitly point towards the damaged area(external tissue localization) and classify(classification) as per classical c…
Random forest and deep neural network are two schools of effective classification methods in machine learning. While the random forest is robust irrespective of the data domain, the deep neural network has advantages in handling high dimensional data. In view that a differentiable neural decision forest can be added to the neural network to fully exploit the benefits of both models, in our work, we further combine convolutional autoencoder with neural decision forest, where autoencoder has its advantages in finding the hidden representations of the input data. We develop a gradient boost modul…

In this paper we describe the problem of painter classification, and propose a novel approach based on deep convolutional autoencoder neural networks. While previous approaches relied on image processing and manual feature extraction from paintings, our approach operates on the raw pixel level, without any preprocessing or manual feature extraction. We first train a deep convolutional autoencoder on a dataset of paintings, and subsequently use it to initialize a supervised convolutional neural network for the classification phase. The proposed approach substantially outperforms previous method…
Tasks that involve high-resolution dense prediction require a modeling of both local and global patterns in a large input field. Although the local and global structures often depend on each other and their simultaneous modeling is important, many convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approaches interchange representations in different resolutions only a few times. In this paper, we claim the importance of a dense simultaneous modeling of multiresolution representation and propose a novel CNN architecture called densely connected multidilated DenseNet (D3Net). D3Net involves a novel multidi…

Customer temporal behavioral data was represented as images in order to perform churn prediction by leveraging deep learning architectures prominent in image classification. Supervised learning was performed on labeled data of over 6 million customers using deep convolutional neural networks, which achieved an AUC of 0.743 on the test dataset using no more than 12 temporal features for each customer. Unsupervised learning was conducted using autoencoders to better understand the reasons for customer churn. Images that maximally activate the hidden units of an autoencoder trained with churned c…

Printed Circuit boards (PCBs) are one of the most important stages in making electronic products. A small defect in PCBs can cause significant flaws in the final product. Hence, detecting all defects in PCBs and locating them is essential. In this paper, we propose an approach based on denoising convolutional autoencoders for detecting defective PCBs and to locate the defects. Denoising autoencoders take a corrupted image and try to recover the intact image. We trained our model with defective PCBs and forced it to repair the defective parts. Our model not only detects all kinds of defects and…

We propose a symmetric graph convolutional autoencoder which produces a low-dimensional latent representation from a graph. In contrast to the existing graph autoencoders with asymmetric decoder parts, the proposed autoencoder has a newly designed decoder which builds a completely symmetric autoencoder form. For the reconstruction of node features, the decoder is designed based on Laplacian sharpening as the counterpart of Laplacian smoothing of the encoder, which allows utilizing the graph structure in the whole processes of the proposed autoencoder architecture. In order to prevent the numer…

In this paper, we present a novel neuroevolutionary method to identify the architecture and hyperparameters of convolutional autoencoders. Remarkably, we used a hypervolume indicator in the context of neural architecture search for autoencoders, for the first time to our current knowledge. Results show that images were compressed by a factor of more than 10, while still retaining enough information to achieve image classification for the majority of the tasks. Thus, this new approach can be used to speed up the AutoML pipeline for image compression.

The need for reliable systems to determine fingerprint presentation attacks grows with the rising use of the fingerprint for authentication. This work presents a new approach to single-class classification for software-based fingerprint presentation attach detection. The described method utilizes a Wasserstein GAN to apply transfer learning to a deep convolutional autoencoder. By doing so, the autoencoder could be pretrained and finetuned on the LivDet2021 Dermalog sensor dataset with only 1122 bona fide training samples. Without making use of any presentation attack samples, the model could a…

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have yielded well-suited approaches for image registration by learning the transformation priors from a large dataset. The improvement in the performance of these methods is related to their ability to learn information from several sample medical images that are difficult to obtain and bias the framework to the specific domain of data.

The proposed model is applied to labeled time series data from UCI datasets for exact performance evaluation, and applied to real world data for indirect model performance comparison. In addition, by comparing the models before and after applying Fire Modules from SqueezeNet, we show that model size and inference times are reduced while similar levels of performance is maintained.
We propose an unsupervised method using self-clustering convolutional adversarial autoencoders to classify prostate tissue as tumor or non-tumor without any labeled training data. The clustering method is integrated into the training of the autoencoder and requires only little post-processing. Our network trains on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) input patches and we tested two different reconstruction targets, H&E and immunohistochemistry (IHC). We show that antibody-driven feature learning using IHC helps the network to learn relevant features for the clustering task. Our network achieves a F1 s…

A new sparsity function is imposed on the extracted featuremap to capture the structure and shape of the learned object, extracting interpretable features to improve the prediction performance. The proposed algorithm is based on organizing the activation within and across featuremap by constraining the node activities through $\ell_{2}$ and $\ell_{1}$ normalization in a structured form.

Graph autoencoders (AE) and variational autoencoders (VAE) recently emerged as powerful node embedding methods, with promising performances on challenging tasks such as link prediction and node clustering. Graph AE, VAE and most of their extensions rely on graph convolutional networks (GCN) to learn vector space representations of nodes. In this paper, we propose to replace the GCN encoder by a simple linear model w.r.t. the adjacency matrix of the graph. For the two aforementioned tasks, we empirically show that this approach consistently reaches competitive performances w.r.t. GCN-based mode…

In this article, we present the convolutional autoencoder recurrent network (CRAN) as a data-driven model for learning wave propagation phenomena.

The analysis of deforming 3D surface meshes is accelerated by autoencoders since the low-dimensional embeddings can be used to visualize underlying dynamics. But, state-of-the-art mesh convolutional autoencoders require a fixed connectivity of all input meshes handled by the autoencoder. This is due to either the use of spectral convolutional layers or mesh dependent pooling operations. Therefore, the types of datasets that one can study are limited and the learned knowledge cannot be transferred to other datasets that exhibit similar behavior. To address this, we transform the discretization …
Autoencoders are a class of artificial neural networks which have gained a lot of attention in the recent past. Using the encoder block of an autoencoder the input image can be compressed into a meaningful representation. Then a decoder is employed to reconstruct the compressed representation back to a version which looks like the input image. It has plenty of applications in the field of data compression and denoising. Another version of Autoencoders (AE) exist, called Variational AE (VAE) which acts as a generative model like GAN. Recently, an optimizer was introduced which is known as looka…

Application of automatic methods for seismic facies interpretation could significantly reduce the manual labor and subjectivity of a particular interpreter present in conventional methods. A recently emerged group of methods is based on deep neural networks. These approaches are data-driven and require large labeled datasets for network training. We apply a deep convolutional autoencoder for unsupervised seismic facies classification, which does not require manually …

The idea of using a deep autoencoder to encode seismic waveform features and then use them in different seismological applications is appealing. In this paper, we designed tests to evaluate this idea of using autoencoders as feature extractors for different seismological applications, such as event discrimination (i.e., earthquake vs. noise waveforms, earthquake vs. explosion waveforms, and phase picking). These tests involve training an autoencoder, either undercomplete or overcomplete, on a large amount of earthquake waveforms, and then using the trained encoder as a feature extractor with s…
Non-affine parametric dependencies, nonlinearities and advection-dominated regimes of the model of interest can result in a slow Kolmogorov n-width decay, which precludes the realization of efficient reduced-order models based on linear subspace approximations. Among the possible solutions, there are purely data-driven methods that leverage autoencoders and their variants to learn a latent representation of the dynamical system, and then evolve it in time with another architecture. Despite their success in many applications where standard linear techniques fail, more has to be done to increase…

Personalized RS are successfully applied in platforms such as Netflix, Amazon or YouTube. However, they are missing in gastronomic platforms such as TripAdvisor, where moreover we can find millions of images tagged with users' tastes. This paper explores the potential of using those images as sources of information for modeling users' tastes and proposes an image-based classification system to obtain personali…
Finding the most effective way to aggregate multi-subject fMRI data is a long-standing and challenging problem. It is of increasing interest in contemporary fMRI studies of human cognition due to the scarcity of data per subject and the variability of brain anatomy and functional response across subjects. Recent work on latent factor models shows promising results in this task but this approach does not preserve spatial locality in the brain. We examine two ways to combine the ideas of a factor model and a searchlight based analysis to aggregate multi-subject fMRI data while preserving spatial…

In this paper, we design and evaluate a convolutional autoencoder that perturbs an input face image to impart privacy to a subject. Specifically, the proposed autoencoder transforms an input face image such that the transformed image can be successfully used for face recognition but not for gender classification. In order to train this autoencoder, we propose a novel training scheme, referred to as semi-adversarial training in this work. The training is facilitated by attaching a semi-adversarial module consisting of a pseudo gender classifier and a pseudo face matcher to the autoencoder. The …
With the inexorable digitalisation of the modern world, every subset in the field of technology goes through major advancements constantly. One such subset is digital images which are ever so popular. Images can not always be as visually pleasing or clear as you would want them to be and are often distorted or obscured with noise. A number of techniques to enhance images have come up as the years passed, all with their own respective pros and cons. In this paper, we look at one such particular technique which accomplishes this task with the help of a neural network model commonly known as an a…
In the construction of reduced-order models for dynamical systems, linear projection methods, such as proper orthogonal decompositions, are commonly employed. However, for many dynamical systems, the lower dimensional representation of the state space can most accurately be described by a \textit{nonlinear} manifold. Previous research has shown that deep learning can provide an efficient method for performing nonlinear dimension reduction, though they are dependent on the availability of training data and are often problem-specific \citep[see][]{carlberg_ca}. Here, we utilize randomized traini…
This paper presents a learning method for convolutional autoencoders (CAEs) for extracting features from images. CAEs can be obtained by utilizing convolutional neural networks to learn an approximation to the identity function in an unsupervised manner. The loss function based on the pixel loss (PL) that is the mean squared error between the pixel values of original and reconstructed images is the common choice for learning. However, using the loss function leads to blurred reconstructed images. A method for learning CAEs using a loss function computed from features reflecting spatial frequen…
This work presents a non-intrusive surrogate modeling scheme based on machine learning technology for predictive modeling of complex systems, described by parametrized time-dependent PDEs. For these problems, typical finite element approaches involve the spatiotemporal discretization of the PDE and the solution of the corresponding linear system of equations at each time step. Instead, the proposed method utilizes a convolutional autoencoder in conjunction with a feed forward neural network to establish a low-cost and accurate mapping from the problem's parametric space to its solution space. …
In this paper, we propose a winner-take-all method for learning hierarchical sparse representations in an unsupervised fashion. We first introduce fully-connected winner-take-all autoencoders which use mini-batch statistics to directly enforce a lifetime sparsity in the activations of the hidden units. We then propose the convolutional winner-take-all autoencoder which combines the benefits of convolutional architectures and autoencoders for learning shift-invariant sparse representations. We describe a way to train convolutional autoencoders layer by layer, where in addition to lifetime spars…
High-impedance faults (HIF) are difficult to detect because of their low current amplitude and highly diverse characteristics. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been gaining popularity in HIF detection because ML techniques learn patterns from data and successfully detect HIFs. However, as these methods are based on supervised learning, they fail to reliably detect any scenario, fault or non-fault, not present in the training data. Consequently, this paper takes advantage of unsupervised learning and proposes a convolutional autoencoder framework for HIF detection (CAE-HIFD). Contrary…

The anomaly detection is done by an ensemble of independent deep convolutional neural networks: an autoencoder and a classifier. The performance is evaluated on images acquired in production.
