State-of-the-art and gaps for deep learning on limited training data in remote sensing
Deep learning usually requires big data, with respect to both volume and
variety. However, most remote sensing applications only have limited training
data, of which a small subset is labeled. Herein, we review three
state-of-the-art approaches in deep learning to combat this challenge. The
first topic is transfer learning, in which some aspects of one domain, e.g.,
features, are transferred to another domain. The next is unsupervised learning,
e.g., autoencoders, which operate on unlabeled data. The last is generative
adversarial networks, which can generate realistic looking data that can fool
the likes of both a deep learning network and human. The aim of this article is
to raise awareness of this dilemma, to direct the reader to existing work and
to highlight current gaps that need solving.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1709.0030
Multi-Target Prediction: A Unifying View on Problems and Methods
Multi-target prediction (MTP) is concerned with the simultaneous prediction
of multiple target variables of diverse type. Due to its enormous application
potential, it has developed into an active and rapidly expanding research field
that combines several subfields of machine learning, including multivariate
regression, multi-label classification, multi-task learning, dyadic prediction,
zero-shot learning, network inference, and matrix completion. In this paper, we
present a unifying view on MTP problems and methods. First, we formally discuss
commonalities and differences between existing MTP problems. To this end, we
introduce a general framework that covers the above subfields as special cases.
As a second contribution, we provide a structured overview of MTP methods. This
is accomplished by identifying a number of key properties, which distinguish
such methods and determine their suitability for different types of problems.
Finally, we also discuss a few challenges for future research
