In the motion conditions tested here, both proposed approaches (ratio with Gaussian smoothing, or generative modelling) produced comparable improvements in \(R_1\) reproducibility in the presence of inter-scan motion. Equally importantly, when there was no overt motion neither method decreased reproducibility, which w...

The simpler ratio method defines one calibration image as the reference (denominator in equation (REF )), and may therefore be vulnerable to low SNR. The alternative generative modelling approach inherently adapts to variable SNR by estimating the position-specific net sensitivity modulation relative to a common image,...

The impact of movement on the effective transmit field has previously been investigated in the context of specific absorption rate management [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. An important additional finding of the present work is the impact this can have on \(R_1\) estimates at 7T, which was negligible at 3T as demonstrated pr...

Inter-scan motion causes serially acquired weighted volumes to be differentially modulated by position-specific coil sensitivities leading to substantial errors when they are combined to compute quantitative metrics. We have demonstrated the efficacy of two methods at reducing these artefacts in the context of \(R_1\) ...

Approximation algorithms were proposed for the first time in the 1960s to solve challenging optimization problems [1]}. They are called approximation algorithms because they generate near-optimal solutions.

Approximation algorithms using probabilistic and randomized techniques had known tremendous advances between the 1980s and 1990s. They were named metaheuristic algorithms [1]}.

Mainly, there are two groups of metaheuristic algorithms: population-based and individual-based algorithms [1]}. Population-based algorithms use several agents, whereas individual-based algorithms use one agent.

Metaheuristic algorithms have two fundamental components: exploration and exploitation [1]}. The exploration is called global optimization or diversification. The exploitation is named local optimization or intensification. The exploration allows metaheuristic algorithms to discover new search space regions and avoid b...

We propose a novel swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm for global optimization, named the Archerfish Hunting Optimizer (AHO). The algorithm is inspired by the shooting and jumping behaviors of archerfish when catching prey. The prominent features of AHO are:

AHO is straightforwardly explained with uncomplicated exploration and exploitation techniques. It is desirable to introduce other evolutionary schemes such as mutation, crossover, or multi-swarm, which we plan to do in the future. In addition, we plan to develop the binary and multi-objective versions of AHO.

Definition 1 (See, for instance, [1]} or [2]}) Let \({\mathcal {H}}\) be a set of CSP instances. A \({\mathcal {H}}\) -backdoor for a CSP\((\Gamma _D)\) instance \((V,C)\) is a set \(B \subseteq V\) where \((V \setminus B, C_{\mid \alpha }) \in {\mathcal {H}}\) for each \(\alpha \colon B \rightarrow D\) .

In practice, \({\mathcal {H}}\) is typically defined as a polynomial-time solvable subclass of CSP and one is thus interested in finding a backdoor into the tractable class \({\mathcal {H}}\) . If the CSP instance \(I\) has a backdoor of size \(k\) , then it can be solved in \(|D|^k \cdot {\rm poly}(||I||)\) time. T...

Example 2 Let us first see why Definition REF is less impactful for infinite-domain CSPs. Naturally, the most obvious problem is that one, even for a fixed \(B \subseteq V\) , need to consider infinitely many functions \(\alpha \colon V \rightarrow D\) , and there is thus no general argument which resolves the backdoo...

Hence, the usual definition of a backdoor fails to compensate for a fundamental difference between finite and infinite-domain CSPs: that assignments to variables are typically much less important than the relation between variables.

The existing Chinese font generation methods can be generally divided into two categories. The first category is firstly to extract some explicit features such as strokes and radicals of Chinese characters and then utilize some traditional machine learning methods to generate new characters [1]}, [2]}. The quality of f...

The second category of Chinese font generation methods has been recently studied in [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]} with the development of deep learning [7]}, particularly the generative adversarial networks (GAN) [8]}. Due to the powerful expressivity and approximation ability of deep neural networks, feature extr...

Due to the artificial nature of Chinese characters, the explicit stroke information contains amount of mode information of Chinese characters (see Figure REF ). This is very different from natural images, which are usually regarded to be generated according to some probability distributions at some latent spaces. Inspi...

We propose an effective method called StrokeGAN for the generation of Chinese fonts with unpaired data. Our main idea is firstly to introduce a one-bit stroke encoding to capture the mode information of Chinese characters and then incorporate it into the training of CycleGAN [1]}, in the purpose of alleviating the mod...

Motivated by the observation from traditional Chinese character generation and recognition methods (see [1]}, [2]}) that the explicit stroke feature can provide much mode information for a Chinese character, in this paper, we incorporate such stroke information into the training of CycleGAN for Chinese font generation ...

This paper proposes an effective Chinese font generation method called StrokeGAN by incorporating a one-bit stroke encoding into CycleGAN to tackle the mode collapse issue. The key intuition of our idea is that the stroke encodings of Chinese characters contain amount of mode information of Chinese characters, unlike t...

Data analysis is a critical and dominant stage of the machine learning lifecycle. Once the data is collected, most of the work goes into studying and wrangling the data to make it fit for training. A highly experimental phase follows where a model is selected and tuned for optimal performance. The final model is then p...

When compared to traditional software, the feedback loop of a machine learning system is longer. While traditional software primarily experiences change in code, a machine learning system matures through changes in data, model & code [1]}.

Since the study of software systems with machine learning components is a fairly young discipline, resources are lacking to aid practitioners in their day-to-day activities. The highly data-driven nature of machine learning makes data equivalent to code in traditional software. The notion of code smells is critical in ...

RQ1. What are the recurrent data quality issues that appear in public datasets? Analogous to code smells, we introduce the notion of data smells. Data smells are anti-patterns in datasets that indicate early signs of problems or technical debt. RQ2. What is the prevalence of such data quality issues in public dataset...

Code smells were originally proposed by Kent Beck in the 1900s and later popularised by [1]} in his book Refactoring [1]}, [3]}. Code smells are indications of potential problems in the code and require engineers to investigate further. Common code smells include presence of bloated code such as large classes & long me...
