Deep clustering analysis via variational autoencoder with Gamma mixture latent embeddings

Author(s): Guo J; Fan W; Amayri M; Bouguila N;

This article proposes a novel deep clustering model based on the variational autoencoder (VAE), named GamMM-VAE, which can learn latent representations of training data for clustering in an unsupervised manner. Most existing VAE-based deep clustering methods use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as a prior on the latent space. We employ a more flexible asy ...

A Survey on Error Exponents in Distributed Hypothesis Testing: Connections with Information Theory, Interpretations, and Applications

Author(s): Espinosa S; Silva JF; Céspedes S;

A central challenge in hypothesis testing (HT) lies in determining the optimal balance between Type I (false positive) and Type II (non-detection or false negative) error probabilities. Analyzing these errors' exponential rate of convergence, known as error exponents, provides crucial insights into system performance. Error exponents offer a lens thro ...

Development and performance assessment of a new opensource Bayesian inference R platform for building energy model calibration

Author(s): Hou D; Zhan D; Wang L; Hassan IG; Sezer N;

Many factors contribute to the inherent uncertainty of energy consumption modeling in buildings. It is essential to perform a calibration and sensitivity analysis in order to manage these uncertainties. Despite the availability of several calibration methods, they are often deterministic and lack quantified uncertainties. Moreover, the selection of parame ...

The Convergence Model of Brain Reward Circuitry: Implications for Relief of Treatment-Resistant Depression by Deep-Brain Stimulation of the Medial Forebrain Bundle

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Deep-brain stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) can provide effective, enduring relief of treatment-resistant depression. Panksepp provided an explanatory framework: the MFB constitutes the core of the neural circuitry subserving the anticipation and pursuit of rewards: the "SEEKING" system. On that view, the SEEKING system is hypoactive in de ...

Anterior cingulate neurons signal neutral cue pairings during sensory preconditioning

Author(s): Hart EE; Gardner MPH; Schoenbaum G;

Of all frontocortical subregions, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has perhaps the most overlapping theories of function.1-3 Recording studies in rats, humans, and other primates have reported diverse neural responses that support many theories,4-12 yet nearly all these studies have in common tasks in which one event reliably predicts another. This lea ...

Bayesian Learning of Shifted-Scaled Dirichlet Mixture Models and Its Application to Early COVID-19 Detection in Chest X-ray Images

Author(s): Bourouis S; Alharbi A; Bouguila N;

Early diagnosis and assessment of fatal diseases and acute infections on chest X-ray (CXR) imaging may have important therapeutic implications and reduce mortality. In fact, many respiratory diseases have a serious impact on the health and lives of people. However, certain types of infections may include high variations in terms of contrast, size and shap ...

Exploring the decentralized treatment of sulfamethoxazole-contained poultry wastewater through vertical-flow multi-soil-layering systems in rural communities.

Author(s): Song P, Huang G, An C, Xin X, Zhang P, Chen X, Ren S, Xu Z, Yang X

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is the most widely distributed sulfonamide antibiotics detected in decentralized poultry wastewater in rural communities. As an economically-feasible and eco-friendly technology for decentralized wastewater treatment in rural areas, vertical-flow multi-soil-layering (MSL) system was promising to mitigate the ecological and human hea ...
