DeepPick: A Deep Learning Approach to Unveil Outstanding Users Ranking with Public Attainable Features

Outstanding users (OUs) denote the influential, 'core' or 'bridge' users in online social networks. How to accurately detect and rank them is an important problem for third-party online service providers and researchers. Conventional efforts, ranging from early graph-based algorithms to recent machine learning-based approaches, typically rely on...

Weakly-supervised Learning for Fine-grained Emotion Recognition using Physiological Signals

Instead of predicting just one emotion for one activity (e.g., video watching), fine-grained emotion recognition enables more temporally precise recognition. Previous works on fine-grained emotion recognition require segment-by-segment, fine-grained emotion labels to train the recognition algorithm. However, experiments to collect these...

Assessment of Parkinson's Disease Severity from Videos Using Deep Architectures

Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, i.e., bradykinesia, rest tremor, rigidity, etc. Assessment of the severity of PD symptoms with clinical rating scales, however, is subject to inter-rater variability. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based automatic PD diagnosis method using videos to assist the...

FMCW Radar-Based Hand Gesture Recognition using Spatiotemporal Deformable and Context-Aware Convolutional 5D Feature Representation

Recently, frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar-based hand gesture recognition (HGR) using deep learning has achieved favorable performance. However, many existing methods use extracted features separately, i.e., using one of the range, Doppler, azimuth, or elevation angle information, or a combination of any two, to train...

Deep Recursive Embedding for High-Dimensional Data

Embedding high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional manifold is of both theoretical and practical value. In this article, we propose to combine deep neural networks (DNN) with mathematics-guided embedding rules for high-dimensional data embedding. We introduce a generic deep embedding network (DEN) framework, which is able to learn a...

An automated ECG signal quality assessment method with supervised learning algorithm

Wearable health has become a striking area in our daily life.<br/>Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the biomedical signals collected by the wearable or portable devices, which is widely used in heart rate monitoring and cardiac diagnosis. However, automatic ECG signal analysis is difficult in real application because the signals are easy to be...

Automatic Defect Detection of Fasteners on the Catenary Support Device Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network

The excitation and vibration triggered by the long-term operation of railway vehicles inevitably result in defective states of catenary support devices. With the massive construction of high-speed electrified railways, automatic defect detection of diverse and plentiful fasteners on the catenary support device is of great significance for...
