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.

지난번 리뷰 했던 Style gan에 이어, Style gan 2 의 논문 리뷰 입니다! Style Gan은 계속해서 Sota 자리를 유지했지만 Style Gan 내부적으로 가끔씩 물방울 모양의 artifact가 inference과정에서 큰 방해가 됨을 확인했습니다. 이와 더불어 StyleGAN에서는 AdaIN이 feature map의 평균과 분산을 normalize했지만, StyleGAN2에서는 convolution weight를 normalize한다. AdaIN에서 평균을 제거하고 표준편차만 사용하였고, 표준편차만으로도 충분하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 또한. bias와 noise를 block 외부로 빼서 style과 noise의 영향력을 독립시켰습니다.
기존에는 noise의 영향력이 style의 크기에 반비례하였으나, noise의 변화에 따른 효과가 분명해졌습니다. 이는 Instance Normalization과 수학적으로 동일한 방법은 아니지만, output feature map을 standard unit standard deviation을 갖도록 해주어 학습을 더욱 안정적으로 만들며 물방울 artifact를 없애는데도 큰 성과를 이루어 냈습니다!

An autoencoder is a machine learning algorithm that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as points in a low-dimensional space. A variational autoencoder (VAE) is an autoencoder that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as low-dimensional probability distributions. In addition to data compression, the randomness of the VAE algorithm gives it a second powerful feature: the ability to generate new data similar to its training data. For example, a VAE trained on images of faces can generate a compelling image of a new "fake" face. It can also map new features onto input data, such as glasses or a mustache onto the image of a face that initially lacks these features. In this talk, we will survey VAE model designs that use deep learning, and we will implement a basic VAE in TensorFlow. We will also demonstrate the encoding and generative capabilities of VAEs and discuss their industry applications.

A generalized class of normalized distance functions called Q-Metrics is described in this presentation. The Q-Metrics approach relies on a unique functional, using a single bounded parameter (Lambda), which characterizes the conventional distance functions in a normalized per-unit metric space. In addition to this coverage property, a distinguishing and extremely attractive characteristic of the Q-Metric function is its low computational complexity. Q-Metrics satisfy the standard metric axioms. Novel networks for classification and regression tasks are defined and constructed using Q-Metrics. These new networks are shown to outperform conventional feed forward back propagation networks with the same size when tested on real data sets.

The main points of the presentation: Variational autoencoders (or VAE) have become one of the most popular unsupervised learning techniques for modelling complex data distributions, such as images and audio. In this talk I'll begin with a general introduction to VAEs and then review a recent technique called VQ-VAE which is capable of learning rundimentary phoneme-level language model from raw audio without any supervision.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

8. Generative Adversarial Networks
Known issues of GANs
Convergence is not guaranteed
In this non cooperative game, convergence of the two networks
is not guaranteed
It is non cooperative because the gradients are calculated
independently
Oscillation and instability during learning are common
Possible Solution: Add Penalty term to loss function (historical
averaging) which penalizes a high uctuation of the networks
parameters θ
9. Generative Adversarial Networks
Known issues of GANs
Low dimensionality problem
In reality pr(x) is concentrating on a small subset of a possible
high dimensional event space
At the same time pg(x) is initialized using some low
dimensional noise data and is therefore also small
There can always be found a suitable discriminator D(x)
10. Generative Adversarial Networks
Known issues of GANs
Vanishing gradient problem
If we have a very good discriminator D(x) this means
D(G(z)) = 0 ∀z ∼ pz(z)
At the same time D(x) = 1 ∀x ∼ pr(r)
As we then have no gradient which we can minimize for the
generator, we cannot learn
Possible solution: Add Noise to input of discriminator to
articially enlarge its knowndistribution
11. Generative Adversarial Networks
Known issues of GANs
Mode collapse
It can happen that the generator outputs always the same
sample from pg(z)
We then end up in a small subset of the desired dirstibution
pr(x)
Variety of the created samples is very low
Possible solution: Show the discriminator a batch of outputs
from the generator (Minibatch discrimination)
12. Generative Adversarial Networks
Wasserstein GANs
Wasserstein GANs
Wasserstein GANs introduce a new way for measuring the
distance (and therefore also a new loss function) between two
distributions
In words the Wasserstein-1 Metric denes how costly it is to
transform a distribution Pr(x) into another distribution Pg(y)
using an optimal transport plan
Assuming that γ is this optimal transport plan where γ(x, y) is
the amount to transport from x to y, we can dene the total
cost as:
Cost =
x,y
γ(x, y)|x − y|
13. Generative Adversarial Networks
Wasserstein GANs
Wasserstein GANs
So the Wasserstein-1 metric is dened as:
W(Pr, Pg) = inf
γ∈Π(Pr,Pg)
E(x,y)∼γ[ x − y ]
Also called the earth moovers distance
Π(Pr, Pg) can be seen as the set of all possible transport plans
from Pr to Pg
Wasserstein metric needs the optimal transport plan (greatest
lower bound of these transport plans - the inmum)
14. Generative Adversarial Networks
Wasserstein GANs
Wasserstein GANs
The Wasserstein-1 is hard to be used within the GAN learning
process
Therefore there is used an equivalent denition derived from
Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality
W(Pr, Pg) = sup
f L≤1
Ex∼Pr [f(x)] − Ex∼Pg [f(x)]
where f must be a 1-Lipschitz function.
f(x) can be seen as an instance of a parameterized family of
functions {fw(x)}w∈W
15. Generative Adversarial Networks
Wasserstein GANs
Wasserstein GANs
The discriminator now has the task to learn this function again
as a neural network
Actually the discriminator (or now called critic) has the aim to
learn the Wasserstein-1 distance:
W(Pr, Pg) = max
w∈W
Ex∼Pr [fw(x)] − Ez∼Pz [fw(G(z))]
At the same time for a xed f at time t the generator wants
to miniminize W(Pr, Pg) and does this by descending on
W(Pr, Pg)
