Abstract In recent years, various adversarial defense methods have been proposed to improve the robustness of deep neural networks. Adversarial training is one of the most potent methods to defend against adversarial attacks. However, the difference in the feature space between natural and adversarial examples hinders the accuracy and robustness of the model in adversarial training. This paper proposes a learnable distribution adversarial training method, aiming to construct the same distribution for training data utilizing the Gaussian mixture model. The distribution centroid is built to classify samples and constrain the distribution of the sample features. The… More >

Abstract Unsupervised methods based on density representation have shown their abilities in anomaly detection, but detection performance still needs to be improved. Specifically, approaches using normalizing flows can accurately evaluate sample distributions, mapping normal features to the normal distribution and anomalous features outside it. Consequently, this paper proposes a Normalizing Flow-based Bidirectional Mapping Residual Network (NF-BMR). It utilizes pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and normalizing flows to construct discriminative source and target domain feature spaces. Additionally, to better learn feature information in both domain spaces, we propose the Bidirectional Mapping Residual Network (BMR), which maps sample… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Melanoma is a perfidious form of skin cancer. The study offers a hybrid framework for the automatic classification of melanoma. An Automatic Melanoma Detection System (AMDS) is used for identifying melanoma from the infected area of the skin image using image processing techniques. A larger number of pre-existing automatic melanoma detection systems are either commercial or their accuracy can be further improved. The research problem is to identify the best preprocessing technique, feature extractor, and classifier for melanoma detection using publically available MED-NODE data set. AMDS goes through four stages. The preprocessing stage is for… More >

Abstract The application of deep learning in the field of object detection has experienced much progress. However, due to the domain shift problem, applying an off-the-shelf detector to another domain leads to a significant performance drop. A large number of ground truth labels are required when using another domain to train models, demanding a large amount of human and financial resources. In order to avoid excessive resource requirements and performance drop caused by domain shift, this paper proposes a new domain adaptive approach to cross-domain vehicle detection. Our approach improves the cross-domain vehicle detection model from More >
