SurgMAE: Masked Autoencoders for Long Surgical Video Analysis

There has been a growing interest in using deep learning models for processing long surgical videos, in order to automatically detect clinical/operational activities and extract metrics that can enable workflow efficiency tools and applications. However, training such models require vast amounts of labeled data which is costly and not scalable. Recently, self-supervised learning has been explored in computer vision community to reduce the burden of the annotation cost. Masked autoencoders (MAE) got the attention in self-supervised paradigm for Vision Transformers (ViTs) by predicting the randomly masked regions given the visible patches of an image or a video clip, and have shown superior performance on benchmark datasets. However, the application of MAE in surgical data remains unexplored. In this paper, we first investigate whether MAE can learn transferrable representations in surgical video domain. We propose SurgMAE, which is a novel architecture with a masking strategy based on sampling high spatio-temporal tokens for MAE. We provide an empirical study of SurgMAE on two large scale long surgical video datasets, and find that our method outperforms several baselines in low data regime. We conduct extensive ablation studies to show the efficacy of our approach and also demonstrate it's superior performance on UCF-101 to prove it's generalizability in non-surgical datasets as well

Visual Learning Beyond Human Curated Datasets

The success of deep neural networks in a variety of computer vision tasks heavily relies on large- scale datasets. However, it is expensive to manually acquire labels for large datasets. Given the human annotation cost and scarcity of data, the challenge is to learn efficiently with insufficiently labeled data. In this dissertation, we propose several approaches towards data-efficient learning in the context of few-shot learning, long-tailed visual recognition, and unsupervised and semi-supervised learning. In the first part, we propose a novel paradigm of Task-Agnostic Meta- Learning (TAML) algorithms to improve few-shot learning. Furthermore, in the second part, we analyze the long-tailed problem from a domain adaptation perspective and propose to augment the classic class-balanced learning for longtails by explicitly estimating the differences between the class-conditioned distributions with a meta-learning approach. Following this, we propose our lazy approach based on an intuitive teacher-student scheme to enable the gradient-based meta- learning algorithms to explore long horizons. Finally, in the third part, we propose a novel face detector adaptation approach that is applicable whenever the target domain supplies many representative images, no matter they are labeled or not. Experiments on several benchmark datasets verify the efficacy of the proposed methods under all settings

Estimating traffic change in accidental regional node failure for Asia pacific IP networks

Connectivity seems to be one of the significant features of today’s life. People rely on their technology in almost every aspect of their daily living. They also depend on this technology to be accessible anytime and anywhere. It is true that technology has touched every feature of today’s life. However, it is the networks that allowed this touch to reach almost everyone, regardless of who or where they are. Disasters stand for the oldest challenges that ever faced humanity. Since societies are extremely dependent on the technology, it is imperative to face the challenge in terms of technological communication systems. In this paper, the Accidental Disaster Network Impact Model is used to study the impact of a regional computer network failure triggered by an accidental disaster on the surviving network. The main aim is to study the percentage of change in traffic and lost traffic in node failure scenarios. This research estimates the change in traffic in cases of single node failure and double node failure. Also, it addresses the case of partial node failure in which only part of the communication ability is lost. The research also generates a simplified network map that represents the regional network of Asia Pacific

THE USE OF CONVOLUTIONAL CODE FOR NARROWBAND INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION IN OFDM-DVBT SYSTEM

ABSTRACT The problem of mitigating narrowband interference (NBI) due to coexistence between Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) and International Mobile Telecommunication-Advanced (IMT-A) system is considered. It is assumed that a spectrum of IMT-A system between 790-862 MHz interfere the spectrum of the OFDM signal in DVB-T band. Two types of convolutional code (CC) which is non-systematic convolutional code (NSCC) and recursive systematic convolutional code (RSCC) are proposed to mitigate NBI. The performance of the two techniques is compared under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It is observed that NSCC has a better bit error rate (BER) performance than RSCC. The result showed good performance for low SNR (≤ 5dB)
