Datasets, Clues and State-of-the-Arts for Multimedia Forensics: An Extensive Review
With the large chunks of social media data being created daily and the
parallel rise of realistic multimedia tampering methods, detecting and
localising tampering in images and videos has become essential. This survey
focusses on approaches for tampering detection in multimedia data using deep
learning models. Specifically, it presents a detailed analysis of benchmark
datasets for malicious manipulation detection that are publicly available. It
also offers a comprehensive list of tampering clues and commonly used deep
learning architectures. Next, it discusses the current state-of-the-art
tampering detection methods, categorizing them into meaningful types such as
deepfake detection methods, splice tampering detection methods, copy-move
tampering detection methods, etc. and discussing their strengths and
weaknesses. Top results achieved on benchmark datasets, comparison of deep
learning approaches against traditional methods and critical insights from the
recent tampering detection methods are also discussed. Lastly, the research
gaps, future direction and conclusion are discussed to provide an in-depth
understanding of the tampering detection research arena
Machine Learning in Sensors and Imaging
Machine learning is extending its applications in various fields, such as image processing, the Internet of Things, user interface, big data, manufacturing, management, etc. As data are required to build machine learning networks, sensors are one of the most important technologies. In addition, machine learning networks can contribute to the improvement in sensor performance and the creation of new sensor applications. This Special Issue addresses all types of machine learning applications related to sensors and imaging. It covers computer vision-based control, activity recognition, fuzzy label classification, failure classification, motor temperature estimation, the camera calibration of intelligent vehicles, error detection, color prior model, compressive sensing, wildfire risk assessment, shelf auditing, forest-growing stem volume estimation, road management, image denoising, and touchscreens
Machine Learning for Biomedical Application
Biomedicine is a multidisciplinary branch of medical science that consists of many scientific disciplines, e.g., biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, and genetics; moreover, it covers various medical specialties. In recent years, this field of science has developed rapidly. This means that a large amount of data has been generated, due to (among other reasons) the processing, analysis, and recognition of a wide range of biomedical signals and images obtained through increasingly advanced medical imaging devices. The analysis of these data requires the use of advanced IT methods, which include those related to the use of artificial intelligence, and in particular machine learning. It is a summary of the Special Issue “Machine Learning for Biomedical Application”, briefly outlining selected applications of machine learning in the processing, analysis, and recognition of biomedical data, mostly regarding biosignals and medical images
Text Similarity Between Concepts Extracted from Source Code and Documentation
Context: Constant evolution in software systems often results in its documentation losing sync with the content of the source code. The traceability research field has often helped in the past with the aim to recover links between code and documentation, when the two fell out of sync. Objective: The aim of this paper is to compare the concepts contained within the source code of a system with those extracted from its documentation, in order to detect how similar these two sets are. If vastly different, the difference between the two sets might indicate a considerable ageing of the documentation, and a need to update it. Methods: In this paper we reduce the source code of 50 software systems to a set of key terms, each containing the concepts of one of the systems sampled. At the same time, we reduce the documentation of each system to another set of key terms. We then use four different approaches for set comparison to detect how the sets are similar. Results: Using the well known Jaccard index as the benchmark for the comparisons, we have discovered that the cosine distance has excellent comparative powers, and depending on the pre-training of the machine learning model. In particular, the SpaCy and the FastText embeddings offer up to 80% and 90% similarity scores. Conclusion: For most of the sampled systems, the source code and the documentation tend to contain very similar concepts. Given the accuracy for one pre-trained model (e.g., FastText), it becomes also evident that a few systems show a measurable drift between the concepts contained in the documentation and in the source code.</p
