Empirical study of GANITE’s robustness to hidden confounders

An empirical study is performed exploring the sensitivity to hidden confounders of GANITE, a method for Individualized Treatment Effect (ITE) estimation. Most real world datasets do not measure all confounders and thus it is important to know how crucial this is in order to obtain comparable predictions. This is explored through the removal of...

Improving privacy of Federated Learning Generative Adversarial Networks using Intel SGX

Federated learning (FL), although a major privacy improvement over centralized learning, is still vulnerable to privacy leaks. The research presented in this paper provides an analysis of the threats to FL Generative Adversarial Networks. Furthermore, an implementation is provided to better protect the data of the participants with Trusted...

FeTGAN: Federated Time-Series Generative Adversarial Network

The key to producing high-fidelity time-series data is to preserve temporal dynamics. This means that generated sequences respect the relationship between variables across time as in the original data. While new types of GANs have been used to generate time-series data, they, like previous GAN<br/>implementations, are time consuming to train. A...

Synthetic Waste Generator for Classification Training

As the population increases so does the waste that is generated. Manually recycling waste is expensive and slow. Computer Vision (CV) solutions aim to make this less expensive and faster. Lots of data of this waste (thousands of images) is needed to train these CV solutions. This project, called Synthetic Waste Generator (SWaG) can create...

Exploiting synthetic images for real-world image recognition

Creating big datasets is often difficult or expensive which causes people to augment their dataset with rendered images. This often fails to significantly improve accuracy due to a difference in distribution between real and rendered datasets. This paper shows that the gap between synthetic and real-world image distributions can be closed by...
