  • Publication number: 20240104885
    Abstract: A system for unsupervised deep representation learning based on image translation is provided. The system includes an image translation transformation module used for performing a random translation transformation on an image and generating an auxiliary label; an image mask module connected with the image translation transformation module and used for applying a mask to the image after translation transformation; a deep neural network connected with the image mask module and used for predicting an actual auxiliary label of the image after the mask is applied and learning the deep representation of the image; a regression loss function module connected with the deep neural network and used for updating parameters of the deep neural network based on a loss function; and a feature extraction module connected with the deep neural network and used for extracting the representation of the image.

  • Publication number: 20240095501
    Abstract: A multi-modal adaptive fusion deep clustering model based on an auto-encoder includes an encoder structure, a multi-modal adaptive fusion layer, a decoder structure and a deep embedding clustering layer. The encoder is configured to enable a dataset to be respectively subjected to three types of nonlinear mappings of the auto-encoder, a convolutional auto-encoder and a convolutional variational auto-encoder to obtain potential features, respectively. The multi-modal adaptive feature fusion layer is configured to fuse the potential features into a common subspace in an adaptive spatial feature fusion mode to obtain a fused feature. The decoder is configured to decode the fused feature by using a structure symmetrical to the encoder to obtain a decoded reconstructed dataset. The deep embedding clustering layer is configured to cluster the fused feature Z and obtain a final accuracy ACC by comparing a clustering result with a true label.
