Directional Decision Lists
In this paper we introduce a novel family of decision lists consisting of
highly interpretable models which can be learned efficiently in a greedy
manner. The defining property is that all rules are oriented in the same
direction. Particular examples of this family are decision lists with
monotonically decreasing (or increasing) probabilities. On simulated data we
empirically confirm that the proposed model family is easier to train than
general decision lists. We exemplify the practical usability of our approach by
identifying problem symptoms in a manufacturing process.Comment: IEEE Big Data for Advanced Manufacturin

Dynamic low-level context for the detection of mild traumatic brain injury.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) appears as low contrast lesions in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Standard automated detection approaches cannot detect the subtle changes caused by the lesions. The use of context has become integral for the detection of low contrast objects in images. Context is any information that can be used for object detection but is not directly due to the physical appearance of an object in an image. In this paper, new low-level static and dynamic context features are proposed and integrated into a discriminative voxel-level classifier to improve the detection of mTBI lesions. Visual features, including multiple texture measures, are used to give an initial estimate of a lesion. From the initial estimate novel proximity and directional distance, contextual features are calculated and used as features for another classifier. This feature takes advantage of spatial information given by the initial lesion estimate using only the visual features. Dynamic context is captured by the proposed posterior marginal edge distance context feature, which measures the distance from a hard estimate of the lesion at a previous time point. The approach is validated on a temporal mTBI rat model dataset and shown to have improved dice score and convergence compared to other state-of-the-art approaches. Analysis of feature importance and versatility of the approach on other datasets are also provided
From source to target and back: symmetric bi-directional adaptive GAN
The effectiveness of generative adversarial approaches in producing images
according to a specific style or visual domain has recently opened new
directions to solve the unsupervised domain adaptation problem. It has been
shown that source labeled images can be modified to mimic target samples making
it possible to train directly a classifier in the target domain, despite the
original lack of annotated data. Inverse mappings from the target to the source
domain have also been evaluated but only passing through adapted feature
spaces, thus without new image generation. In this paper we propose to better
exploit the potential of generative adversarial networks for adaptation by
introducing a novel symmetric mapping among domains. We jointly optimize
bi-directional image transformations combining them with target self-labeling.
Moreover we define a new class consistency loss that aligns the generators in
the two directions imposing to conserve the class identity of an image passing
through both domain mappings. A detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis
of the reconstructed images confirm the power of our approach. By integrating
the two domain specific classifiers obtained with our bi-directional network we
exceed previous state-of-the-art unsupervised adaptation results on four
different benchmark datasets
