Traditional distance and density-based anomaly detection techniques are unable to detect periodic and seasonality related point anomalies which occur commonly in streaming data, leaving a big gap in time series anomaly detection in the current era of the IoT. To address this problem, we present a novel deep learning-based anomaly detection approach (DeepAnT) for time series data, which is equally applicable to the non-streaming cases. DeepAnT is capable of detecting a wide range of anomalies, i.e., point anomalies, contextual anomalies, and discords in time series data. In contrast to the anomaly detection methods where anomalies are learned, DeepAnT uses unlabeled data to capture and learn the data distribution that is used to forecast the normal behavior of a time series. DeepAnT consists of two modules: time series predictor and anomaly detector. The time series predictor module uses deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the next time stamp on the defined horizon. This module takes a window of time series (used as a context) and attempts to predict the next time stamp. The predicted value is then passed to the anomaly detector module, which is responsible for tagging the corresponding time stamp as normal or abnormal. DeepAnT can be trained even without removing the anomalies from the given data set. Generally, in deep learningbased approaches, a lot of data are required to train a model. Whereas in DeepAnT, a model can be trained on relatively small data set while achieving good generalization capabilities due to the effective parameter sharing of the CNN. As the anomaly detection in DeepAnT is unsupervised, it does not rely on anomaly labels at the time of model generation. Therefore, this approach can be directly applied to real-life scenarios where it is practically impossible to label a big stream of data coming from heterogeneous sensors comprising of both normal as well as anomalous points. We have performed a detailed evaluation of 15 algorithms on 10 anomaly detection benchmarks, which contain a total of 433 real and synthetic time series. Experiments show that DeepAnT outperforms the state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods in most of the cases, while performing on par with others.

Background With the advancement of powerful image processing and machine learning techniques, Computer Aided Diagnosis has become ever more prevalent in all fields of medicine including ophthalmology. These methods continue to provide reliable and standardized large scale screening of various image modalities to assist clinicians in identifying diseases. Since optic disc is the most important part of retinal fundus image for glaucoma detection, this paper proposes a two-stage framework that first detects and localizes optic disc and then classifies it into healthy or glaucomatous. Methods The first stage is based on Regions with Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) and is responsible for localizing and extracting optic disc from a retinal fundus image while the second stage uses Deep Convolutional Neural Network to classify the extracted disc into healthy or glaucomatous. Unfortunately, none of the publicly available retinal fundus image datasets provides any bounding box ground truth required for disc localization. Therefore, in addition to the proposed solution, we also developed a rule-based semi-automatic ground truth generation method that provides necessary annotations for training RCNN based model for automated disc localization. Results The proposed method is evaluated on seven publicly available datasets for disc localization and on ORIGA dataset, which is the largest publicly available dataset with healthy and glaucoma labels, for glaucoma classification. The results of automatic localization mark new state-of-the-art on six datasets with accuracy reaching 100% on four of them. For glaucoma classification we achieved Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve equal to 0.874 which is 2.7% relative improvement over the state-of-the-art results previously obtained for classification on ORIGA dataset. Conclusion Once trained on carefully annotated data, Deep Learning based methods for optic disc detection and localization are not only robust, accurate and fully automated but also eliminates the need for dataset-dependent heuristic algorithms. Our empirical evaluation of glaucoma classification on ORIGA reveals that reporting only Area Under the Curve, for datasets with class imbalance and without pre-defined train and test splits, does not portray true picture of the classifier’s performance and calls for additional performance metrics to substantiate the results.
Light microscopy combined with well-established protocols of two-dimensional cell culture facilitates high-throughput quantitative imaging to study biological phenomena. Accurate segmentation of individual cells in images enables exploration of complex biological questions, but can require sophisticated imaging processing pipelines in cases of low contrast and high object density. Deep learning-based methods are considered state-of-the-art for image segmentation but typically require vast amounts of annotated data, for which there is no suitable resource available in the field of label-free cellular imaging. Here, we present LIVECell, a large, high-quality, manually annotated and expert-validated dataset of phase-contrast images, consisting of over 1.6 million cells from a diverse set of cell morphologies and culture densities. To further demonstrate its use, we train convolutional neural network-based models using LIVECell and evaluate model segmentation accuracy with a proposed a suite of benchmarks.
We present an exhaustive investigation of recent Deep Learning architectures, algorithms, and strategies for the task of document image classification to finally reduce the error by more than half. Existing approaches, such as the DeepDoc-Classifier, apply standard Convolutional Network architectures with transfer learning from the object recognition domain. The contribution of the paper is threefold: First, it investigates recently introduced very deep neural network architectures (GoogLeNet, VGG, ResNet) using transfer learning (from real images). Second, it proposes transfer learning from a huge set of document images, i.e. 400, 000 documents. Third, it analyzes the impact of the amount of training data (document images) and other parameters to the classification abilities. We use two datasets, the Tobacco-3482 and the large-scale RVL-CDIP dataset. We achieve an accuracy of 91.13 % for the Tobacco-3482 dataset while earlier approaches reach only 77.6 %. Thus, a relative error reduction of more than 60 % is achieved. For the large dataset RVL-CDIP, an accuracy of 90.97 % is achieved, corresponding to a relative error reduction of 11.5 %.
This paper proposes a novel complete system for automated floor plan analysis. Besides applying and improving state-of-the-art processing methods, we introduce novel preprocessing methods, e.g., the differentiation between thick, medium, and thin lines and the removal of components outside the convex hull of the outer walls. Especially the latter method increases the performance of the final system. In our experiments on a reference data set we compare our approach to other approaches available in the literature. We show that our system outperforms previous systems. The final room recognition accuracy is 79 % that is 10 % higher than the 69 % achieved by a state-of-the-art approach from the literature.
