Efficient and robust deep learning with Correntropy-induced loss function

Deep learning systems aim at using hierarchical models to learning high-level features from low-level features. The progress in deep learning is great in recent years. The robustness of the learning systems with deep architectures is however rarely studied and needs further investigation. In particular, the mean square error (MSE), a commonly used optimization cost function in deep learning, is rather sensitive to outliers (or impulsive noises). Robust methods are needed to improve the learning performance and immunize the harmful influences caused by outliers which are pervasive in real-world data. In this paper, we propose an efficient and robust deep learning model based on stacked auto-encoders and Correntropy-induced loss function (CLF), called CLF-based stacked auto-encoders (CSAE). CLF as a nonlinear measure of similarity is robust to outliers and can approximate different norms (from \(l_0\) to \(l_2\)) of data. Essentially, CLF is an MSE in reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Different from conventional stacked auto-encoders, which use, in general, the MSE as the reconstruction loss and KL divergence as the sparsity penalty term, the reconstruction loss and sparsity penalty term in CSAE are both built with CLF. The fine-tuning procedure in CSAE is also based on CLF, which can further enhance the learning performance. The excellent and robust performance of the proposed model is confirmed by simulation experiments on MNIST benchmark dataset.

Interactive transfer function design based on editing direct volume rendered images

Direct volume rendered images (DVRIs) have been widely used to reveal structures in volumetric data. However, DVRIs generated by many volume visualization techniques can only partially satisfy users' demands. In this paper, we propose a framework for editing DVRIs, which can also be used for interactive transfer function (TF) design. Our approach allows users to fuse multiple features in distinct DVRIs into a comprehensive one, to blend two DVRIs, and/or to delete features in a DVRI. We further present how these editing operations can generate smooth animations for focus + context visualization. Experimental results on some real volumetric data demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.     

Performance evaluation of a dental handpiece in simulation of clinical finishing using a novel 2DOF in vitro apparatus

This paper reports on the performance evaluation of a dental handpiece in simulation of clinical finishing using a novel two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) in vitro apparatus. The instrumented apparatus consisted of a two-dimensional computer-controlled coordinate worktable carrying a dental handpiece, a piezoelectric force dynamometer, and a high-speed data acquisition and signal conditioning system for simulating the clinical operations and monitoring the dental finishing processes. The performance of the dental handpiece was experimentally evaluated with respect to rotational speed, torque, and specific finishing energy under the applied clinical finishing conditions. The results show that the rotational speeds of the dental handpiece decreased by increasing either the depth of cut or the feed rate at a constant clinically applied air pressure and water flowrate. They also decreased when increasing both the tangential and normal finishing forces. The specific finishing energy decreased with an increase in either depth of cut or feed rate, while the finishing torque increased as either the depth of cut or the feed rate was increased. Implications of these results were to provide guidance for proper applications of dental handpieces in clinical practice.
