Transfer learning enables solving a specific task having limited data by using the pre-trained deep networks trained on large-scale datasets. Typically, while transferring the learned knowledge from source task to the target task, the last few layers...
Electrophysiological studies have shown that mammalian primary visual cortex are selective for the orientations of visual stimuli. Inspired by this mechanism, we propose a hierarchical spiking neural network (SNN) for image classification. Grayscale ...
Accurate breast mass segmentation of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is a great help to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the lack of clear boundary and significant variation in mass shapes make the automatic segmentation very challe...
To isolate brain activity that may reflect effective cognitive processes during the study phase of a memory task, cognitive neuroscientists commonly contrast brain activity during study of later-remembered versus later-forgotten items. This "subseque...
We investigate a latent variable model for multinomial classification inspired by recent capsule architectures for visual object recognition (Sabour, Frosst, & Hinton, 2017). Capsule architectures use vectors of hidden unit activities to encode the p...

The data imbalance problem in classification is a frequent but challenging task. In real-world datasets, numerous class distributions are imbalanced and the classification result under such condition reveals extreme bias in the majority data class. R...
Pedestrian protection is an important component of road safety. Intersections are dangerous locations for pedestrians with mixed traffic. This paper aims to predict potential traffic conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles at signalized intersecti...
BACKGROUND: Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is included in the DSM-5 as a provisional diagnosis. Whether IGD should be regarded as a disorder and, if so, how it should be defined and thresholded have generated considerable debate.

Human perception of an object's skeletal structure is particularly robust to diverse perturbations of shape. This skeleton representation possesses substantial advantages for parts-based and invariant shape encoding, which is essential for object rec...
