Input: Consider Input: Sometimes SRS (Stereotactic Radio Surgery) requires using sphere packing on a Region of Interest (ROI) such as cancer to determine a treatment plan.   We have developed a sphere packing algorithm which packs non-intersecting spheres inside the ROI.   The region of interest in our case are those voxels which are identified as cancer tissues.   In this paper, we analyze the rotational invariant properties of  our sphere-packing algorithm which is based on distance transformations. Epsilon-Rotation invariant means the ability to arbitrary rotate the 3D ROI while keeping the volume properties remaining (almost) same within some limit of epsilon. The applied rotations produce spherical packing which remains highly correlated as we analyze the geometrically properties of sphere packing before and after the rotation of the volume data for the ROI. Our novel sphere packing algorithm has high degree of rotation invariance within the range of +/- epsilon. Our method used a shape descriptor derived from the values of the disjoint set of spheres form the distance-based sphere packing algorithm to extract the invariant descriptor from the ROI. We demonstrated by implementing these ideas using Slicer3D platform available for our research.   The data is based on sing MRI Stereotactic images. We presented several performance results on different benchmarks data of over 30 patients in Slicer3D platform.

Output: Packing region of Interest (ROI) such as cancerous regions identified in 3D Volume Data, Packing spheres inside the ROI, rotating the ROI , measures of difference in sphere packing before and after the rotation.


Input: Consider Input: Transfer learning through fine-tuning a pre-trained neural network with an extremely large dataset, such as ImageNet, can significantly accelerate training while the accuracy is frequently bottlenecked by the limited dataset size of the new target task. To solve the problem, some regularization methods, constraining the outer layer weights of the target network using the starting point as references (SPAR), have been studied. In this paper, we propose a novel regularized transfer learning framework DELTA, namely DEep Learning Transfer using Feature Map with Attention. Instead of constraining the weights of neural network, DELTA aims to preserve the outer layer outputs of the target network. Specifically, in addition to minimizing the empirical loss, DELTA intends to align the outer layer outputs of two networks, through constraining a subset of feature maps that are precisely selected by attention that has been learned in an supervised learning manner. We evaluate DELTA with the state-of-the-art algorithms, including L2 and L2-SP. The experiment results show that our proposed method outperforms these baselines with higher accuracy for new tasks.

Output: improving deep transfer learning with regularization using attention based feature maps


Input: Consider Input: State of the art sound event classification relies in neural networks to learn the associations between class labels and audio recordings within a dataset. These datasets typically define an ontology to create a structure that relates these sound classes with more abstract super classes. Hence, the ontology serves as a source of domain knowledge representation of sounds. However, the ontology information is rarely considered, and specially under explored to model neural network architectures.
 We propose two ontology-based neural network architectures for sound event classification. We defined a framework to design simple network architectures that preserve an ontological structure. The networks are trained and evaluated using two of the most common sound event classification datasets. Results show an improvement in classification performance demonstrating the benefits of including the ontological information.


Output: We present ontology-based neural network architectures for sound event classification.
