Physics Makes Black-box Deep Learning Models Transparent

By: 
Prof. Zicheng Liu

Electromagnetic inverse scattering problems (ISPs) are crucial in noninvasive imaging but challenging due to nonlinearity and computational costs. This blog explores machine learning-based ISP solvers with physics-guided loss functions, emphasizing the role of near-field priors and multiple-scattering effects. Numerical experiments highlight the advantages and limitations of these approaches.

Devising Transformers as an Autoencoder for Unsupervised Multivariate Time Series Imputation

By: 
Dr. Aykut Koç

Inspired by the capabilities of transformer models, we introduce a novel method named Multivariate Time-Series Imputation with Transformers (MTSIT). This entails an unsupervised autoencoder model featuring a transformer encoder, leveraging unlabeled observed data for simultaneous reconstruction and imputation of multivariate time-series.

Deep Learning for All-in-Focus Imaging

By: 
Dr. Qian Huang

Focus stacking is an effective approach to extending the depth of field of a camera, yet is challenging with regard to 1) controlling focal planes in forming a stack and 2) fusing the focal stack into composites free from defocusing, i.e., all-in-focus. We propose a deep learning all-in-focus imaging pipeline as a novel solution for focus stacking.

Deep CNN-Based Channel Estimation Using 3D Channel Correlation

By: 
Peihao Dong

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications provide a promising solution to meet the proliferating demand for high data rate because of large bandwidth. The current “boomingly” deployed fifth generation communication system (5G) has not actually touched the dominant frequency band of mmWave and thus can hardly enjoy its merit on dramatically boosting transmission rate, which motivates us to conduct research on the ultimate implementation of mmWave communications.

Coarse-to-Fine CNN for Image Super-Resolution

By: 
Chunwei Tian, Yong Xu, Wangmeng Zuo, Bob Zhang, Lunke Fei, Chia-Wen Lin

A coarse-to-fine SR CNN (CFSRCNN) consisting of a stack of feature extraction blocks (FEBs), an enhancement block (EB), a construction block (CB) and, a feature refinement block (FRB) is proposed to learn a robust SR model.
