We present a system for the detection of elevated levels of driver alertness in driver-facing video captured from multiple viewpoints. This problem is important in automotive safety as a helpful feedback signal to determine driver engagement and as a means of automatically flagging anomalous driving events. We generated a dataset of videos from 25 participants overseeing an hour each of driving sequences in a simulator consisting of a mixture of normal and near-miss driving events.

As field seismic data sizes are dramatically increasing toward exabytes, automating the labeling of ``structural monads'' --- corresponding to geological patterns and yielding subsurface interpretation --- in a huge amount of available information would drastically reduce interpretation time. Since customary designed features may not account for gradual deformations observable in seismic data, we propose to adapt the wavelet-based scattering network methodology with a tessellation of geophysical images.

Neural networks have shown great potential in many applications like speech recognition, drug discovery, image classification, and object detection. Neural network models are inspired by biological neural networks, but they are optimized to perform machine learning tasks on digital computers.

In recent works, both sparsity-based methods as well as learning-based methods have proven to be successful in solving several challenging linear inverse problems. However, sparsity priors for natural signals and images suffer from poor discriminative capability, while learning-based methods seldom provide concrete theoretical guarantees. In this work, we advocate the idea of replacing hand-crafted priors, such as sparsity, with a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to solve linear inverse problems such as compressive sensing.

We propose a convolutional recurrent sparse auto-encoder
model. The model consists of a sparse encoder, which is a
convolutional extension of the learned ISTA (LISTA) method,
and a linear convolutional decoder. Our strategy offers a simple
method for learning a task-driven sparse convolutional
dictionary (CD), and producing an approximate convolutional
sparse code (CSC) over the learned dictionary. We trained
the model to minimize reconstruction loss via gradient decent
with back-propagation and have achieved competitve

The current Document Image Quality Assessment (DIQA) algorithms directly relate the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) accuracies with the quality of the document to build supervised learning frameworks. This direct correlation has two major limitations: (a) OCR may be affected by factors independent of the quality of the capture and (b) it cannot account for blur variations within an image. An alternate possibility is to quantify the quality of capture using human judgement, however, it is subjective and prone to error.

Magnetic resonance (MR) plays an important role in medical imaging. It can be flexibly tuned towards different applications for deriving a meaningful diagnosis. However, its long acquisition times and flexible parametrization make it on the other hand prone to artifacts which obscure the underlying image content or can be misinterpreted as anatomy. Patient-induced motion artifacts are still one of the major extrinsic factors which degrade image quality.

For many years, i-vector based audio embedding techniques were the dominant approach for speaker verification and speaker diarization applications. However, mirroring the rise of deep learning in various domains, neural network based audio embeddings, also known as d-vectors, have consistently demonstrated superior speaker verification performance. In this paper, we build on the success of d-vector based speaker verification systems to develop a new d-vector based approach to speaker diarization.
