A Survey on Bayesian Deep Learning
A comprehensive artificial intelligence system needs to not only perceive the
environment with different `senses' (e.g., seeing and hearing) but also infer
the world's conditional (or even causal) relations and corresponding
uncertainty. The past decade has seen major advances in many perception tasks
such as visual object recognition and speech recognition using deep learning
models. For higher-level inference, however, probabilistic graphical models
with their Bayesian nature are still more powerful and flexible. In recent
years, Bayesian deep learning has emerged as a unified probabilistic framework
to tightly integrate deep learning and Bayesian models. In this general
framework, the perception of text or images using deep learning can boost the
performance of higher-level inference and in turn, the feedback from the
inference process is able to enhance the perception of text or images. This
survey provides a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian deep learning and
reviews its recent applications on recommender systems, topic models, control,
etc. Besides, we also discuss the relationship and differences between Bayesian
deep learning and other related topics such as Bayesian treatment of neural
networks.Comment: To appear in ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 202
Learning Object Categories From Internet Image Searches
In this paper, we describe a simple approach to learning models of visual object categories from images gathered from Internet image search engines. The images for a given keyword are typically highly variable, with a large fraction being unrelated to the query term, and thus pose a challenging environment from which to learn. By training our models directly from Internet images, we remove the need to laboriously compile training data sets, required by most other recognition approaches-this opens up the possibility of learning object category models βon-the-fly.β We describe two simple approaches, derived from the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (pLSA) technique for text document analysis, that can be used to automatically learn object models from these data. We show two applications of the learned model: first, to rerank the images returned by the search engine, thus improving the quality of the search engine; and second, to recognize objects in other image data sets
Mining Images in Biomedical Publications: Detection and Analysis of Gel Diagrams
Authors of biomedical publications use gel images to report experimental
results such as protein-protein interactions or protein expressions under
different conditions. Gel images offer a concise way to communicate such
findings, not all of which need to be explicitly discussed in the article text.
This fact together with the abundance of gel images and their shared common
patterns makes them prime candidates for automated image mining and parsing. We
introduce an approach for the detection of gel images, and present a workflow
to analyze them. We are able to detect gel segments and panels at high
accuracy, and present preliminary results for the identification of gene names
in these images. While we cannot provide a complete solution at this point, we
present evidence that this kind of image mining is feasible.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1209.148
