A convolutional autoencoder approach for mining features in cellular electron cryo-tomograms and weakly supervised coarse segmentation
Cellular electron cryo-tomography enables the 3D visualization of cellular
organization in the near-native state and at submolecular resolution. However,
the contents of cellular tomograms are often complex, making it difficult to
automatically isolate different in situ cellular components. In this paper, we
propose a convolutional autoencoder-based unsupervised approach to provide a
coarse grouping of 3D small subvolumes extracted from tomograms. We demonstrate
that the autoencoder can be used for efficient and coarse characterization of
features of macromolecular complexes and surfaces, such as membranes. In
addition, the autoencoder can be used to detect non-cellular features related
to sample preparation and data collection, such as carbon edges from the grid
and tomogram boundaries. The autoencoder is also able to detect patterns that
may indicate spatial interactions between cellular components. Furthermore, we
demonstrate that our autoencoder can be used for weakly supervised semantic
segmentation of cellular components, requiring a very small amount of manual
annotation.Comment: Accepted by Journal of Structural Biolog
Deep learning in remote sensing: a review
Standing at the paradigm shift towards data-intensive science, machine
learning techniques are becoming increasingly important. In particular, as a
major breakthrough in the field, deep learning has proven as an extremely
powerful tool in many fields. Shall we embrace deep learning as the key to all?
Or, should we resist a 'black-box' solution? There are controversial opinions
in the remote sensing community. In this article, we analyze the challenges of
using deep learning for remote sensing data analysis, review the recent
advances, and provide resources to make deep learning in remote sensing
ridiculously simple to start with. More importantly, we advocate remote sensing
scientists to bring their expertise into deep learning, and use it as an
implicit general model to tackle unprecedented large-scale influential
challenges, such as climate change and urbanization.Comment: Accepted for publication IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazin
AnchorNet: A Weakly Supervised Network to Learn Geometry-sensitive Features For Semantic Matching
Despite significant progress of deep learning in recent years,
state-of-the-art semantic matching methods still rely on legacy features such
as SIFT or HoG. We argue that the strong invariance properties that are key to
the success of recent deep architectures on the classification task make them
unfit for dense correspondence tasks, unless a large amount of supervision is
used. In this work, we propose a deep network, termed AnchorNet, that produces
image representations that are well-suited for semantic matching. It relies on
a set of filters whose response is geometrically consistent across different
object instances, even in the presence of strong intra-class, scale, or
viewpoint variations. Trained only with weak image-level labels, the final
representation successfully captures information about the object structure and
improves results of state-of-the-art semantic matching methods such as the
deformable spatial pyramid or the proposal flow methods. We show positive
results on the cross-instance matching task where different instances of the
same object category are matched as well as on a new cross-category semantic
matching task aligning pairs of instances each from a different object class.Comment: Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
