Piecewise Latent Variables for Neural Variational Text Processing

, 2017
Advances in neural variational inference have facilitated the learning of powerful directed graphical models with continuous latent variables, such as variational autoencoders. The hope is that such models will learn to represent rich, multi-modal latent

Synthetic Electrocardiogram Spectrogram Generation Using Generative Adversarial Network‐Based Models: A Comparative Study

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular diseases are leading death causes; electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is slow, motivating machine learning and deep learning. This study compares deep convolutional generative adversarial network, conditional GAN, and Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN‐GP) for synthetic ECG spectrograms; Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and ...

Degeneracy Sensing Light Detection and Ranging‐Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with Dual‐Layer Resistant Odometry and Scan‐Context Loop‐Closure Detection Backend in Diverse Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This paper presents a degeneracy‐aware light detection and ranging (LiDAR)‐inertial framework that enhances LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping performance in challenging environments. The proposed system integrates a dual‐layer robust odometry frontend with a Scan‐Context‐based loop‐closure detection backend.

Mepylome: A Point‐of‐Care Tumor Diagnostic Toolkit for Tumor DNA Methylation and Copy Number Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
DNA methylation and chromosomal copy number profiling have recently become essential for tumor diagnostics. The open‐source tool Mepylome enables this task in clinical routine. It combines several machine learning strategies and allows users to interactively examine respective data through an intuitive graphical interface. Running up to 65 times faster

Ubuntu, Umuntu and Ubuntu: A Response to Matolino and Kwindingwi

Arụmarụka
The paper proffers a response to Bernard Matolino’s and Wenceslaus Kwindingwi’s rejection of UBUNTU. To do so, the paper does three things. First, it clarifies important concepts of Ubuntu ethics.

A Conditional Variational Framework for Dialog Generation

, 2017
Deep latent variable models have been shown to facilitate the response generation for open-domain dialog systems. However, these latent variables are highly randomized, leading to uncontrollable generated responses.

A Soft Wearable Robot for Vertical Jump Enhancement via a Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator and Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Jump‐Enhancing Textile Suit integrates the Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator (PESPA) and the Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure (TKiCS). PESPA stores elastic energy under pneumatic pressure and releases it during the propulsive phase to augment movement.
