 In this work, we consider the task of classifying binary positive-unlabeled (PU) data. The existing discriminative learning based PU models attempt to seek an optimal reweighting strategy for U data, so that a decent decision boundary can be found. However, given limited P data, the conventional PU models tend to suffer from overfitting when adapted to very flexible deep neural networks. In contrast, we are the first to innovate a totally new paradigm to attack the binary PU task, from perspective of generative learning by leveraging the powerful generative adversarial networks (GAN). Our generative positive-unlabeled (GenPU) framework incorporates an array of discriminators and generators that are endowed with different roles in simultaneously producing positive and negative realistic samples. We provide theoretical analysis to justify that, at equilibrium, GenPU is capable of recovering both positive and negative data distributions. Moreover, we show GenPU is generalizable and closely related to the semi-supervised classification. Given rather limited P data, experiments on both synthetic and real-world dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework. With infinite realistic and diverse sample streams generated from GenPU, a very flexible classifier can then be trained using deep neural networks.

Abstract Background: Deep neural networks have been widely used in medical image segmentation and have achieved state-of-the-art performance in many tasks. However, different from the segmentation of natural images or video frames, the manual segmentation of anatomical structures in medical images needs high expertise so the scale of labeled training data is very small, which is a major obstacle for the improvement of deep neural networks performance in medical image segmentation. Methods: In this paper, we proposed a new end-to-end generation-segmentation framework by integrating Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and a segmentation network and train them simultaneously. The novelty is that during the training of the GAN, the intermediate synthetic images generated by the generator of the GAN are used to pre-train the segmentation network. As the advances of the training of the GAN, the synthetic images evolve gradually from being very coarse to containing more realistic textures, and these images help train the segmentation network gradually. After the training of GAN, the segmentation network is then fine-tuned by training with the real labeled images. Results: We evaluated the proposed framework on four different datasets, including 2D cardiac dataset and lung dataset, 3D prostate dataset and liver dataset. Compared with original U-net and CE-Net, our framework can achieve better segmentation performance. Our framework also can get better segmentation results than U-net on small datasets. In addition, our framework is more effective than the usual data augmentation methods. Conclusions: The proposed framework can be used as a pre-train method of segmentation network, which helps to get a better segmentation result. Our method can solve the shortcomings of current data augmentation methods to some extent.

Artificial Intelligence has been widely applied today, and the subsequent privacy leakage problems have also been paid attention to. Attacks such as model inference attacks on deep neural networks can easily extract user information from neural networks. Therefore, it is necessary to protect privacy in deep learning. Differential privacy, as a popular topic in privacy-preserving in recent years, which provides rigorous privacy guarantee, can also be used to preserve privacy in deep learning. Although many articles have proposed different methods to combine differential privacy and deep learning, there are no comprehensive papers to analyze and compare the differences and connections between these technologies. For this purpose, this paper is proposed to compare different differential private methods in deep learning. We comparatively analyze and classify several deep learning models under differential privacy. Meanwhile, we also pay attention to the application of differential privacy in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), comparing and analyzing these models. Finally, we summarize the application of differential privacy in deep neural networks.
