Co-GRU Enhanced End-to-End Design for Long-haul Coherent Transmission Systems

In recent years, the end-to-end (E2E) scheme based on deep learning (DL) has been proposed as a potential scheme to jointly optimize the encoder and the decoder parameters of the optical communication system. Compared with conventional deep neural network (DNN) adopted in E2E design, center-oriented Gated Recurrent Unit (Co-GRU) network has the ability to learn and compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) with low computation cost while satisfying the gradient backpropagation (BP) condition. In this paper, the Co-GRU structure is adopted for both channel modeling and decoder implementation in E2E design for long-haul coherent wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems, which can enhance the performance of general mutual information (GMI) and Q2-factor. For the E2E system with Co-GRU based decoder, the gain of GMI and Q2-factor are respectively improved 0.2 bits/sym and 0.48dB, compared to that of the conventional QAM system, for a 5-channel dual-polarization coherent system transmitting over 960km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). This work paves the way for further study of the application of the Co-GRU structure for both the data-driven channel modeling and the decoder performance improvement in E2E design.

Spatio-Temporal Self-Attention Network for Video Saliency Prediction

3D convolutional neural networks have achieved promising results for video tasks in computer vision, including video saliency prediction that is explored in this paper. However, 3D convolution encodes visual representation merely on fixed local spacetime according to its kernel size, while human attention is always attracted by relational visual features at different time. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel Spatio-Temporal Self-Attention 3D Network (STSANet) for video saliency prediction, in which multiple Spatio-Temporal Self-Attention (STSA) modules are employed at different levels of 3D convolutional backbone to directly capture long-range relations between spatio-temporal features of different time steps. Besides, we propose an Attentional Multi-Scale Fusion (AMSF) module to integrate multi-level features with the perception of context in semantic and spatio-temporal subspaces. Extensive experiments demonstrate the contributions of key components of our method, and the results on DHF1K, Hollywood-2, UCF, and DIEM benchmark datasets clearly prove the superiority of the proposed model compared with all state-of-the-art models.

Individual Recognition in Schizophrenia using Deep Learning Methods with Random Forest and Voting Classifiers: Insights from Resting State EEG Streams

Recently, there has been a growing interest in monitoring brain activity for individual recognition system. So far these works are mainly focussing on single channel data or fragment data collected by some advanced brain monitoring modalities. In this study we propose new individual recognition schemes based on spatio-temporal resting state Electroencephalography (EEG) data. Besides, instead of using features derived from artificially-designed procedures, modified deep learning architectures which aim to automatically extract an individual's unique features are developed to conduct classification. Our designed deep learning frameworks are proved of a small but consistent advantage of replacing the $softmax$ layer with Random Forest. Additionally, a voting layer is added at the top of designed neural networks in order to tackle the classification problem arisen from EEG streams. Lastly, various experiments are implemented to evaluate the performance of the designed deep learning architectures; Results indicate that the proposed EEG-based individual recognition scheme yields a high degree of classification accuracy: $81.6\%$ for characteristics in high risk (CHR) individuals, $96.7\%$ for clinically stable first episode patients with schizophrenia (FES) and $99.2\%$ for healthy controls (HC).
