Generative modeling of convolutional neural networks

Generative Modeling of Convolutional Neural Networks

The convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven to be a powerful tool for discriminative learning. Recently researchers have also started to show interest in the generative aspects of CNNs in order to gain a deeper understanding of what they have learned and how to further improve them. This paper investigates generative modeling of CNNs. The main contributions include: (1) We construct a ...

Generative and Discriminative Voxel Modeling with Convolutional Neural Networks

When working with three-dimensional data, choice of representation is key. We explore voxel-based models, and present evidence for the viability of voxellated representations in applications including shape modeling and object classification. Our key contributions are methods for training voxel-based variational autoencoders, a user interface for exploring the latent space learned by the autoen...

Generative Models for Stochastic Processes Using Convolutional Neural Networks

The present paper aims to demonstrate the usage of Convolutional Neural Networks as a generative model for stochastic processes, enabling researchers from a wide range of fields (such as quantitative finance and physics) to develop a general tool for forecasts and simulations without the need to identify/assume a specific system structure or estimate its parameters.

Cystoscopy Image Classication Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

In the past three decades, the use of smart methods in medical diagnostic systems has attractedthe attention of many researchers. However, no smart activity has been provided in the eld ofmedical image processing for diagnosis of bladder cancer through cystoscopy images despite the highprevalence in the world. In this paper, two well-known convolutional neural networks (CNNs) ...
