This paper presents an improved method for recognizing the drill state on the basis of hole images drilled in a laminated chipboard, using convolutional neural network (CNN) and data augmentation techniques. Three classes were used to describe the drill state: red -- for drill that is worn out and should be replaced, yellow -- for state in which the system should send a warning to the operator, indicating that this element should be checked manually, and green -- denoting the drill that is still in good condition, which allows for further use in the production process. The presented method combines the advantages of transfer learning and data augmentation methods to improve the accuracy of the received evaluations. In contrast to the classical deep learning methods, transfer learning requires much smaller training data sets to achieve acceptable results. At the same time, data augmentation customized for drill wear recognition makes it possible to expand the original dataset and to improve the overall accuracy. The experiments performed have confirmed the suitability of the presented approach to accurate class recognition in the given problem, even while using a small original dataset.

To automatically detect plastic gasket defects, a set of plastic gasket defect visual detection devices based on GoogLeNet Inception-V2 transfer learning was designed and established in this study. The GoogLeNet Inception-V2 deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) was adopted to extract and classify the defect features of plastic gaskets to solve the problem of their numerous surface defects and difficulty in extracting and classifying the features. Deep learning applications require a large amount of training data to avoid model overfitting, but there are few datasets of plastic gasket defects. To address this issue, data augmentation was applied to our dataset. Finally, the performance of the three convolutional neural networks was comprehensively compared. The results showed that the GoogLeNet Inception-V2 transfer learning model had a better performance in less time. It means it had higher accuracy, reliability, and efficiency on the dataset used in this paper.

Data augmentation is widely used in image processing and pattern recognition problems in order to increase the richness in diversity of available data. It is commonly used to improve the classification accuracy of images when the available datasets are limited. Deep learning approaches have demonstrated an immense breakthrough in medical diagnostics over the last decade. A significant amount of datasets are needed for the effective training of deep neural networks. The appropriate use of data augmentation techniques prevents the model from over-fitting and thus increases the generalization capability of the network while testing afterward on unseen data. However, it remains a huge challenge to obtain such a large dataset from rare diseases in the medical field. This study presents the synthetic data augmentation technique using Generative Adversarial Networks to evaluate the generalization capability of neural networks using existing data more effectively. In this research, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model is used to classify the X-ray images of the human chest in both normal and pneumonia conditions; then, the synthetic images of the X-ray from the available dataset are generated by using the deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) model. Finally, the CNN model is trained again with the original dataset and augmented data generated using the DCGAN model. The classification performance of the CNN model is improved by 3.2% when the augmented data were used along with the originally available dataset.

The convolutional neural network (CNN) has made great strides in the area of voiceprint recognition; but it needs a huge number of data samples to train a deep neural network. In practice, it is too difficult to get a large number of training samples, and it cannot achieve a better convergence state due to the limited dataset. In order to solve this question, a new method using a deep migration hybrid model is put forward, which makes it easier to realize voiceprint recognition for small samples. Firstly, it uses Transfer Learning to transfer the trained network from the big sample voiceprint dataset to our limited voiceprint dataset for the further training. Fully-connected layers of a pre-training model are replaced by restricted Boltzmann machine layers. Secondly, the approach of Data Augmentation is adopted to increase the number of voiceprint datasets. Finally, we introduce fast batch normalization algorithms to improve the speed of the network convergence and shorten the training time. Our new voiceprint recognition approach uses the TLCNN-RBM (convolutional neural network mixed restricted Boltzmann machine based on transfer learning) model, which is the deep migration hybrid model that is used to achieve an average accuracy of over 97%, which is higher than that when using either CNN or the TL-CNN network (convolutional neural network based on transfer learning). Thus, an effective method for a small sample of voiceprint recognition has been provided.

Pests are major threat to economic growth of a country. Application of pesticide is the easiest way to control the pest infection. However, excessive utilization of pesticide is hazardous to environment. The recent advances in deep learning have paved the way for early detection and improved classification of pest in tomato plants which will benefit the farmers. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of 11 state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models with three configurations: transfers learning, fine-tuning and scratch learning. The training in transfer learning and fine tuning initiates from pre-trained weights whereas random weights are used in case of scratch learning. In addition, the concept of data augmentation has been explored to improve the performance. Our dataset consists of 859 tomato pest images from 10 categories. The results demonstrate that the highest classification accuracy of 94.87% has been achieved in the transfer learning approach by DenseNet201 model with data augmentation.

Silicon wafer defect data collected from fabrication facilities is intrinsically imbalanced because of the variable frequencies of defect types. Frequently occurring types will have more influence on the classification predictions if a model gets trained on such skewed data. A fair classifier for such imbalanced data requires a mechanism to deal with type imbalance in order to avoid biased results. This study has proposed a convolutional neural network for wafer map defect classification, employing oversampling as an imbalance addressing technique. To have an equal participation of all classes in the classifier’s training, data augmentation has been employed, generating more samples in minor classes. The proposed deep learning method has been evaluated on a real wafer map defect dataset and its classification results on the test set returned a 97.91% accuracy. The results were compared with another deep learning based auto-encoder model demonstrating the proposed method, a potential approach for silicon wafer defect classification that needs to be investigated further for its robustness.

In this work, we present an image segmentation algorithm based on the convolutional neural network framework where the scale space theory is incorporated in the course of training procedure. The construction of data augmentation is designed to apply the scale space to the training data in order to effectively deal with the variability of regions of interest in geometry and appearance such as shape and contrast. The proposed data augmentation algorithm via scale space is aimed to improve invariant features with respect to both geometry and appearance by taking into consideration of their diffusion process. We develop a segmentation algorithm based on the convolutional neural network framework where the network architecture consists of encoding and decoding substructures in combination with the data augmentation scheme via the scale space induced by the heat equation. The quantitative analysis using the cardiac MRI dataset indicates that the proposed algorithm achieves better accuracy in the delineation of the left ventricles, which demonstrates the potential of the algorithm in the application of the whole heart segmentation as a compute-aided diagnosis system for the cardiac diseases.

Noise in training data increases the tendency of many machine learning methods to overfit the training data, which undermines the performance. Outliers occur in big data as a result of various factors, including human errors. In this work, we present a novel discriminator model for the identification of outliers in the training data. We propose a systematic approach for creating training datasets to train the discriminator based on a small number of genuine instances (trusted data). The noise discriminator is a convolutional neural network (CNN). We evaluate the discriminator’s performance using several benchmark datasets and with different noise ratios. We inserted random noise in each dataset and trained discriminators to clean them. Different discriminators were trained using different numbers of genuine instances with and without data augmentation. We compare the performance of the proposed noise-discriminator method with seven other methods proposed in the literature using several benchmark datasets. Our empirical results indicate that the proposed method is very competitive to the other methods. It actually outperforms them for pair noise.

Majority of the advancement in Deep learning (DL) has occurred in domains such as computer vision, and natural language processing, where abundant training data is available. A major obstacle in leveraging DL techniques for malware analysis is the lack of sufficiently big, labeled datasets. In this paper, we take the first steps towards building a model which can synthesize labeled dataset of malware images using GAN. Such a model can be utilized to perform data augmentation for training a classifier. Furthermore, the model can be shared publicly for community to reap benefits of dataset without sharing the original dataset. First, we show the underlying idiosyncrasies of malware images and why existing data augmentation techniques as well as traditional GAN training fail to produce quality artificial samples. Next, we propose a new method for training GAN where we explicitly embed prior domain knowledge about the dataset into the training procedure. We show improvements in training stability and sample quality assessed on different metrics. Our experiments show substantial improvement on baselines and promise for using such a generative model for malware visualization systems.
