Abstract: A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The refrigerator may minimize the size and material cost of the control system by controlling the internal temperature and the speed of a compressor using a thermostat used in the conventional low-capacity/low-cost refrigerator without using a system controller equipped with various sensors (internal sensors and/or external sensors) capable of controlling the internal temperature. In addition, since an inverter controller capable of controlling a BLDC compressor estimates the internal/external temperature based on operation information of the compressor, and determines the internal load, it may save energy and reduce vibrations and noise, which are the largest disadvantages of a constant-speed compressor, thereby improving satisfaction of the consumer. In addition, the BLDC compressor may be started and operated stably by applying a differentiated algorithm of the inverter controller.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for actively and continually fine-tuning convolutional neural networks to reduce annotation requirements, in which the trained networks are then utilized in the context of medical imaging. The success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision is largely attributable to the availability of massive annotated datasets, such as ImageNet and Places. However, it is tedious, laborious, and time consuming to create large annotated datasets, and demands costly, specialty-oriented skills. A novel method to naturally integrate active learning and transfer learning (fine-tuning) into a single framework is presented to dramatically reduce annotation cost, starting with a pre-trained CNN to seek “worthy” samples for annotation and gradually enhances the (fine-tuned) CNN via continual fine-tuning.
