Abstract The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease that is currently affecting over 200 countries around the world and impacting billions of people. The first step to mitigate and control its spread is to identify and isolate the infected people. But, because of the lack of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-CPR) tests, it is important to discover suspected COVID-19 cases as early as possible, such as by scan analysis and chest X-ray by radiologists. However, chest X-ray analysis is relatively time-consuming since it requires more than 15 minutes per case. In this paper, an automated novel detection… More >

Abstract Steganography based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) has become a hot topic among researchers. Due to GANs being unsuitable for text fields with discrete characteristics, researchers have proposed GAN-based steganography methods that are less dependent on text. In this paper, we propose a new method of generative lyrics steganography based on GANs, called GAN-GLS. The proposed method uses the GAN model and the large-scale lyrics corpus to construct and train a lyrics generator. In this method, the GAN uses a previously generated line of a lyric as the input sentence in order to generate the next line of the lyric.… More >

Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are paid more attention to dealing with the end-to-end speech enhancement in recent years. Various GAN-based enhancement methods are presented to improve the quality of reconstructed speech. However, the performance of these GAN-based methods is worse than those of masking-based methods. To tackle this problem, we propose speech enhancement method with a residual dense generative adversarial network (RDGAN) contributing to map the log-power spectrum (LPS) of degraded speech to the clean one. In detail, a residual dense block (RDB) architecture is designed to better estimate the LPS of clean speech, which can extract rich local features… More >

Abstract The technology for image-to-image style transfer (a prevalent image processing task) has developed rapidly. The purpose of style transfer is to extract a texture from the source image domain and transfer it to the target image domain using a deep neural network. However, the existing methods typically have a large computational cost. To achieve efficient style transfer, we introduce a novel Ghost module into the GANILLA architecture to produce more feature maps from cheap operations. Then we utilize an attention mechanism to transform images with various styles. We optimize the original generative adversarial network (GAN) by using more efficient calculation… More >

Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have considerable potential to alleviate challenges linked to data scarcity. Recent research has demonstrated the good performance of this method for data augmentation because GANs synthesize semantically meaningful data from standard signal distribution. The goal of this study was to solve the overfitting problem that is caused by the training process of convolution networks with a small dataset. In this context, we propose a data augmentation method based on an evolutionary generative adversarial network for cardiac magnetic resonance images to extend the training data. In our structure of the evolutionary GAN, the most optimal generator is… More >

Abstract Person re-ID is becoming increasingly popular in the field of modern surveillance. The purpose of person re-ID is to retrieve person of interests in non-overlapping multi-camera surveillance system. Due to the complexity of the surveillance scene, the person images captured by cameras often have problems such as size variation, rotation, occlusion, illumination difference, etc., which brings great challenges to the study of person re-ID. In recent years, studies based on deep learning have achieved great success in person re-ID. The improvement of basic networks and a large number of studies on the influencing factors have greatly improved the accuracy of… More >

Abstract Detecting anomaly logs is a great significance step for guarding system faults. Due to the uncertainty of abnormal log types, lack of real anomaly logs and accurately labeled log datasets. Existing technologies cannot be enough for detecting complex and various log point anomalies by using human-defined rules. We propose a log anomaly detection method based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). This method uses the Encoder-Decoder framework based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network as the generator, takes the log keywords as the input of the encoder, and the decoder outputs the generated log template. The discriminator uses the Convolutional Neural… More >

Abstract Image denoising is often used as a preprocessing step in computer vision tasks, which can help improve the accuracy of image processing models. Due to the imperfection of imaging systems, transmission media and recording equipment, digital images are often contaminated with various noises during their formation, which troubles the visual effects and even hinders people’s normal recognition. The pollution of noise directly affects the processing of image edge detection, feature extraction, pattern recognition, etc., making it difficult for people to break through the bottleneck by modifying the model. Many traditional filtering methods have shown poor performance since they do not… More >

The human face sketch is transformed into an RGB image by the training method of generative adversarial networks confrontation. Aiming to generate a better result especially in edge, an improved loss function based on… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the rapid growth of generative adversarial networks (GANs), a photo-realistic face can be easily generated from a random vector. Moreover, the faces generated by advanced GANs are very realistic. It is reasonable to acknowledge that even a well-trained viewer has difficulties to distinguish artificial from real faces. Therefore, detecting the face generated by GANs is a necessary work. This paper mainly introduces some methods to detect GAN-generated fake faces, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of these models based on the network structure and evaluation indexes, and the results obtained in the respective data sets.
