Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks where two neural networks, a generator and discriminator, compete against each other. The generator learns to generate new data with the same statistics as the training set to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator learns to better distinguish real samples from generated samples. GANs have applications in image generation, image translation between domains, and image completion. Training GANs can be challenging due to issues like mode collapse.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks where two neural networks contest with each other in a game. A generator network generates new data instances, while a discriminator network evaluates them for authenticity, classifying them as real or generated. This adversarial process allows the generator to improve over time and generate highly realistic samples that can pass for real data. The document provides an overview of GANs and their variants, including DCGAN, InfoGAN, EBGAN, and ACGAN models. It also discusses techniques for training more stable GANs and escaping issues like mode collapse.

Paper review of "Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes"
The document summarizes a presentation on applying GANs in medical imaging. It discusses several papers on this topic:
1. A paper that used GANs to reduce noise in low-dose CT scans by training on paired routine-dose and low-dose CT images. This approach generated reconstructed low-dose CT images with improved quality.
2. A paper that used GANs for cross-modality synthesis, specifically generating skin lesion images from other modalities.
3. Additional papers discussed other medical imaging applications of GANs such as vessel-fundus image synthesis and organ segmentation.
The document discusses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), a type of generative model proposed by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. GANs use two neural networks, a generator and discriminator, that compete against each other. The generator produces synthetic data to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator learns to distinguish real from synthetic data. GANs have been used successfully to generate realistic images when trained on large datasets. Examples mentioned include Pix2Pix for image-to-image translation and STACKGAN for text-to-image generation.
Diffusion models beat gans on image synthesisBeerenSahu
Diffusion models have recently been shown to produce higher quality images than GANs while also offering better diversity and being easier to scale and train. Specifically, a 2021 paper by OpenAI demonstrated that a diffusion model achieved an FID score of 2.97 on ImageNet 128x128, beating the previous state-of-the-art held by BigGAN. Diffusion models work by gradually adding noise to images in a forward process and then learning to remove noise in a backward denoising process, allowing them to generate diverse, high fidelity images.
This document provides an overview of generative adversarial networks (GANs). It explains that GANs were introduced in 2014 and involve two neural networks, a generator and discriminator, that compete against each other. The generator produces synthetic data to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator learns to distinguish real from synthetic data. As they train, the generator improves at producing more realistic outputs that match the real data distribution. Examples of GAN applications discussed include image generation, text-to-image synthesis, and face aging.
This document provides an overview of graph neural networks (GNNs). GNNs are a type of neural network that can operate on graph-structured data like molecules or social networks. GNNs learn representations of nodes by propagating information between connected nodes over many layers. They are useful when relationships between objects are important. Examples of applications include predicting drug properties from molecular graphs and program understanding by modeling code as graphs. The document explains how GNNs differ from RNNs and provides examples of GNN variations, datasets, and frameworks.
The document summarizes the Batch Normalization technique presented in the paper "Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing Internal Covariate Shift". Batch Normalization aims to address the issue of internal covariate shift in deep neural networks by normalizing layer inputs to have zero mean and unit variance. It works by computing normalization statistics for each mini-batch and applying them to the inputs. This helps in faster and more stable training of deep networks by reducing the distribution shift across layers. The paper presented ablation studies on MNIST and ImageNet datasets showing Batch Normalization improves training speed and accuracy compared to prior techniques.

Image-to-image translation is a class of vision and graphics problems where the goal is to learn the mapping between an input image and an output image using a training set of aligned image pairs.
However, for many tasks, paired training data will not be available.
We present an approach for learning to translate an image from a source domain X to a target domain Y in the absence of paired examples.
Our goal is to learn a mapping G: X → Y such that the distribution of images from G(X) is indistinguishable from the distribution Y using an adversarial loss.
Because this mapping is highly under-constrained, we couple it with an inverse mapping F: Y → X and introduce a cycle consistency loss to push F(G(X)) ≈ X (and vice versa).
Qualitative results are presented on several tasks where paired training data does not exist, including collection style transfer, object transfiguration, season transfer, photo enhancement, etc.
Quantitative comparisons against several prior methods demonstrate the superiority of our approach.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks where two neural networks compete against each other. One network generates synthetic data while the other evaluates it as real or fake. GANs have been applied to medical imaging tasks like generating additional patient data, translating between image modalities, enhancing image quality, and segmenting anatomical structures. Recent advances include conditioning GANs on text or labels to control image attributes, unpaired image-to-image translation using cycle consistency, and training a single GAN to handle multiple image domains. GANs show promise for improving diagnostic models by providing more training data and enabling new applications like noise reduction and accelerated acquisition.

Introduction to Generative Adversarial NetworksBennoG1
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a type of neural network that can generate new data with the same statistics as the training set. GANs work by having two neural networks - a generator and a discriminator - compete against each other in a minimax game framework. The generator tries to generate fake data that looks real, while the discriminator tries to tell apart the real data from the fake data. Wasserstein GANs introduce a new loss function based on the Wasserstein distance to help improve GAN training stability and convergence.
GANs are the new hottest topic in the ML arena; however, they present a challenge for the researchers and the engineers alike. Their design, and most importantly, the code implementation has been causing headaches to the ML practitioners, especially when moving to production.
Starting from the very basic of what a GAN is, passing trough Tensorflow implementation, using the most cutting-edge APIs available in the framework, and finally, production-ready serving at scale using Google Cloud ML Engine.

The document summarizes the U-Net convolutional network architecture for biomedical image segmentation. U-Net improves on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) by introducing a U-shaped architecture with skip connections between contracting and expansive paths. This allows contextual information from the contracting path to be combined with localization information from the expansive path, improving segmentation of biomedical images which often have objects at multiple scales. The U-Net architecture has been shown to perform well even with limited training data due to its ability to make use of context.

Abstract:
Math Algorithms have primarily been the domain of desktop data science. With the success of scalable algorithms at Google, Amazon, and Netflix, there is an ever growing demand for sophisticated algorithms over big data. In this talk, we get a ringside view in the making of the world's most scalable and fastest machine learning framework, H2O, and the performance lessons learnt scaling it over EC2 for Netflix and over commodity hardware for other power users.
Top 10 Performance Gotchas is about the white hot stories of i/o wars, S3 resets, and muxers, as well as the power of primitive byte arrays, non-blocking structures, and fork/join queues. Of good data distribution & fine-grain decomposition of Algorithms to fine-grain blocks of parallel computation. It's a 10-point story of the rage of a network of machines against the tyranny of Amdahl while keeping the statistical properties of the data and accuracy of the algorithm.

Speaker: Chris Fregly @ PipelineIO, formerly Databricks and Netflix
1) Machine learning draws on areas of mathematics including probability, statistical inference, linear algebra, and optimization theory.
2) While there are easy-to-use machine learning packages, understanding the underlying mathematics is important for choosing the right algorithms, making good parameter and validation choices, and interpreting results.
3) Key concepts in probability and statistics that are important for machine learning include random variables, probability distributions, expected value, variance, covariance, and conditional probability. These concepts allow quantification of relationships and uncertainties in data.
This document discusses generative adversarial nets (GANs). GANs use an adversarial modeling framework where a generator and discriminator are trained against each other. The generator learns to generate fake samples from noise to match the real data distribution, while the discriminator learns to distinguish real from fake samples. They are trained together through a minimax game, with the generator trying to maximize the discriminator's errors. The document proves that the global minimum of the GAN's training criterion is achieved when the generator's distribution pg matches the real data distribution pdata, with the criterion value reaching -log4.
Supervised machine learning addresses the problem of approximating a function, given the examples of inputs and outputs. The classical tasks of regression and classification deal with functions whose outputs are real numbers. Structured output prediction goes beyond one-dimensional outputs, and allows predicting complex objects, such as sequences, trees, and graphs. In this talk I will show how to apply structured output prediction to building informative summaries of the topic graphs—a problem I encountered in my Ph.D. research. The focus of the talk will be on understanding the intuitions behind the machine learning algorithms. We will start from the basics and walk our way through the inner workings of DAgger—state-of-the-art method of structured output prediction.
This talk was be given at a seminar in Google Krakow.
The document discusses deep learning and convolutional neural networks. It provides details on concepts like convolution, activation maps, pooling, and the general architecture of CNNs. CNNs are made up of repeating sequences of convolutional layers and pooling layers, followed by fully connected layers at the end. Convolutional layers apply filters to input images or feature maps from previous layers to extract features. Pooling layers reduce the spatial size to make representations more manageable.
Lenses, or more generally “optics”, are a technique that is indispensable to modern functional programming. However, implementations have veered between two extremes: incredible abstractive power with a steep learning curve; and limited domain-specific uses that can be picked up in minutes. Why can’t we have our cake and eat it too?
Goggles is a new Scala macro built over the powerful & popular Monocle optics library. It uses Scala’s macros and scandalously flexible syntax to create a compiler-checked mini-language to concisely construct, compose and apply optics, with a gentle, familiar interface, and informative compiler errors.
In this talk, I introduce the motivation for lenses, why lens usability is a problem that badly needs solving, and how the Goggles library, with Monocle, addresses this in an important way.
Monads and Monoids: from daily java to Big Data analytics in Scala
Finally, after two decades of evolution, Java 8 made a step towards functional programming. What can Java learn from other mature functional languages? How to leverage obscure mathematical abstractions such as Monad or Monoid in practice? Usually people find it scary and difficult to understand. Oleksiy will explain these concepts in simple words to give a feeling of powerful tool applicable in many domains, from daily Java and Scala routines to Big Data analytics with Storm or Hadoop.

Modeling the Dynamics of SGD by Stochastic Differential EquationMark Chang
1) Start with a small learning rate and large batch size to find a flat minimum with good generalization. 2) Gradually increase the learning rate and decrease the batch size to find sharper minima that may improve training accuracy. 3) Monitor both training and validation/test accuracy - similar accuracy suggests good generalization while different accuracy indicates overfitting.
Modeling the Dynamics of SGD by Stochastic Differential EquationMark Chang
The document discusses modeling stochastic gradient descent (SGD) using stochastic differential equations (SDEs). It outlines SGD, random walks, Wiener processes, and SDEs. It then covers continuous-time SGD and controlled SGD, modeling SGD as an SDE. It provides an example of modeling quadratic loss functions with SGD as an SDE. Finally, it discusses the effects of learning rate and batch size on generalization when modeling SGD as an SDE.
The document discusses information theory concepts like entropy, joint entropy, conditional entropy, and mutual information. It then discusses how these concepts relate to generalization in deep learning models. Specifically, it explains that the PAC-Bayesian bound is data-dependent, so models with high VC dimension can still generalize if the data is clean, resulting in low KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions.

Specifically, it explains that the PAC-Bayesian bound is data-dependent, so models with high VC dimension can still generalize if the data is clean, resulting in low KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions.
The document outlines the PAC-Bayesian bound for deep learning. It discusses how the PAC-Bayesian bound provides a generalization guarantee that depends on the KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions over hypotheses. This allows the bound to account for factors like model complexity and noise in the training data, avoiding some limitations of other generalization bounds. The document also explains how the PAC-Bayesian bound can be applied to stochastic neural networks by placing distributions over the network weights.
1) The document outlines PAC-Bayesian bounds, which provide probabilistic guarantees on the generalization error of a learning algorithm.
2) PAC-Bayesian bounds relate the expected generalization error of the output distribution Q to the training error, number of samples, and KL divergence between the prior P and posterior Q distributions over hypotheses.
3) The bounds show that better generalization requires a smaller divergence between P and Q, meaning the training process should not alter the distribution of hypotheses too much. This provides insights into reducing overfitting in deep learning models.
The document outlines the theory of domain adaptation. It discusses how the generalization bound from learning in a single domain does not apply when testing on a different target domain. The key challenges are the distance between the source and target features and the distance between their labeling functions. Domain adaptation aims to reduce these distances and provide a generalization bound by estimating these distances using a hypothesis trained on samples from both domains. An example approach is to find the hypothesis that minimizes the sum of source and target errors.
DRAW is a recurrent neural network proposed by Google DeepMind for image generation. It works by reconstructing images "step-by-step" through iterative applications of selective attention. At each step, DRAW samples from a latent space to generate values for its canvas. It uses an encoder-decoder RNN architecture with selective attention to focus on different regions of the image. This allows it to capture fine-grained details across the entire image.
This document discusses natural language processing applications using TensorFlow. It introduces natural language processing and the Word2vec neural network model. It then demonstrates an implementation of semantic operations using Word2vec embeddings trained on sample text data. Key steps include preprocessing the text, defining the computational graph in TensorFlow to train the Word2vec model, and obtaining the final word embeddings.
This document provides an introduction and overview of machine learning and TensorFlow. It discusses the different types of machine learning including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. It then explains concepts like logistic regression, softmax, and cross entropy that are used in neural networks. It covers how to evaluate models using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall. Finally, it introduces TensorFlow as an open source machine learning framework and discusses computational graphs, automatic differentiation, and running models on CPU or GPU.
This document summarizes key concepts in neural sequence modeling including recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory networks, and neural Turing machines. It outlines recurrent neural networks and how they can be used for sequence modeling. It then describes long short-term memory networks and how they address the vanishing gradient problem in recurrent neural networks using gating mechanisms. Finally, it provides an overview of neural Turing machines and how they use an external memory component with addressing and reading/writing mechanisms controlled by a neural network controller.
This document summarizes recent work on neural doodling and semantic style transfer. It describes a paper by Alex J. Champandard that uses neural networks to turn simple doodles into fine artwork by applying the style of famous works of art. It also discusses previous works on neural artistic style by Gatys et al. and image synthesis by Li and Wand. The document then explains the technical details of patch-based and semantic style transfer techniques that identify patches of content and style features to generate new images in the style of a reference work while preserving semantic content. Source code links and information about the speaker are provided.
This document outlines topics related to computational linguistics and neural networks, including:
1) It discusses machine learning concepts like training data, models, and feedback in machine learning.
2) It then covers neural networks, including how artificial neurons work and how they can be used for tasks like binary classification.
3) The document concludes by discussing how neural language models like word2vec represent words as vectors in a semantic space to model relationships between words.
This document provides an overview of neural art and neural style transfer using convolutional neural networks. It first discusses how visual perception and computer vision work, then explains how neural networks like VGG19 can be used to generate artistic images by combining the content of one image with the artistic style of another. Specifically, it describes how the content image's filter responses are matched and the style image's gram matrix is matched to generate a new image that reflects both the content and style.
1) The document discusses AlphaGo and its use of machine learning techniques like deep neural networks, reinforcement learning, and Monte Carlo tree search to master the game of Go.
2) AlphaGo uses reinforcement learning to learn Go strategies and evaluate board positions by playing many games against itself. It also uses deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks to pattern-match board positions and Monte Carlo tree search to simulate future moves and strategies.
3) By combining these techniques, AlphaGo was able to defeat top human Go players by developing an intuitive understanding of the game and strategizing several moves in advance.
