Intra prediction is an essential component in the image coding. This paper gives an intra prediction framework completely based on neural network modes (NM). Each NM can be regarded as a regression from the neighboring reference blocks to the current coding block. (1) For variable block size, we utilize different network structures. For small blocks 4x4 and 8x8, fully connected networks are used, while for large blocks 16x16 and 32x32, convolutional neural networks are exploited. (2) For each prediction mode, we develop a specific pre-trained network to boost the regression accuracy. When integrating into HEVC test model, we can save 3.55%, 3.03% and 3.27% BD-rate for Y, U, V components compared with the anchor. As far as we know, this is the first work to explore a fully NM based framework for intra prediction, and we reach a better coding gain with a lower complexity compared with the previous work.

As a crucial part of video compression, intra prediction utilizes local information of images to eliminate the redundancy in spatial domain. In both H.265/HEVC and H.266/VVC, multiple directional prediction modes are employed to find the texture tren d of each small block and then the prediction is made based on reference samples in the selected direction. Recently, the intra prediction schemes based on neural networks have achieved great success. In these methods, the networks are trained and applied to intra prediction in addition to the directional prediction modes. In this paper, we propose a novel data clustering-driven neural network (dubbed DCDNN) for intra prediction, which can learn deep features of the clustered data. In DCDNN, each network can be split into two networks by adding or subtracting Gaussian random noise. Then a data clustering-driven training is applied to train all the derived networks recursively. In each iteration, the entire training dataset is partitioned according to the recovery qualities of the derived networks. For the experiment, DCDNN is implemented into HEVC reference software HM-16.9. The experimental results demonstrate that DCDNN can reach an average of 4.2% Bjontegaard distortion rate (BDrate) improvement (up to 7.0%) over HEVC with all intra configuration. Compared with existing fully connected networkbased intra prediction methods, the bitrate saving performance is further improved.
Compressed Sensing MRI (CS-MRI) has shown promise in reconstructing under-sampled MR images, offering the potential to reduce scan times. Classical techniques minimize a regularized least-squares cost function using an expensive iterative optimizatio n procedure. Recently, deep learning models have been developed that model the iterative nature of classical techniques by unrolling iterations in a neural network. While exhibiting superior performance, these methods require large quantities of ground-truth images and have shown to be non-robust to unseen data. In this paper, we explore a novel strategy to train an unrolled reconstruction network in an unsupervised fashion by adopting a loss function widely-used in classical optimization schemes. We demonstrate that this strategy achieves lower loss and is computationally cheap compared to classical optimization solvers while also exhibiting superior robustness compared to supervised models.

The sparse LiDAR point clouds become more and more popular in various applications, e.g., the autonomous driving. However, for this type of data, there exists much under-explored space in the corresponding compression framework proposed by MPEG, i.e. , geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC). In G-PCC, only the distance-based similarity is considered in the intra prediction for the attribute compression. In this paper, we propose a normal-based intra prediction scheme, which provides a more efficient lossless attribute compression by introducing the normals of point clouds. The angle between normals is used to further explore accurate local similarity, which optimizes the selection of predictors. We implement our method into the G-PCC reference software. Experimental results over LiDAR acquired datasets demonstrate that our proposed method is able to deliver better compression performance than the G-PCC anchor, with $2.1%$ gains on average for lossless attribute coding.
Since microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, miRNA identification is one of the most essential problems in computational biology. miRNAs are usually short in length ranging between 20 and 23 base pairs. It is thus often difficult to distinguish miRNA-encoding sequences from other non-coding RNAs and pseudo miRNAs that have a similar length, and most previous studies have recommended using precursor miRNAs instead of mature miRNAs for robust detection. A great number of conventional machine-learning-based classification methods have been proposed, but they often have the serious disadvantage of requiring manual feature engineering, and their performance is limited as well. In this paper, we propose a novel miRNA precursor prediction algorithm, deepMiRGene, based on recurrent neural networks, specifically long short-term memory networks. deepMiRGene automatically learns suitable features from the data themselves without manual feature engineering and constructs a model that can successfully reflect structural characteristics of precursor miRNAs. For the performance evaluation of our approach, we have employed several widely used evaluation metrics on three recent benchmark datasets and verified that deepMiRGene delivered comparable performance among the current state-of-the-art tools.
Predicting the start-ups that will eventually succeed is essentially important for the venture capital business and worldwide policy makers, especially at an early stage such that rewards can possibly be exponential. Though various empirical studie s and data-driven modeling work have been done, the predictive power of the complex networks of stakeholders including venture capital investors, start-ups, and start-ups managing members has not been thoroughly explored. We design an incremental representation learning mechanism and a sequential learning model, utilizing the network structure together with the rich attributes of the nodes. In general, our method achieves the state-of-the-art prediction performance on a comprehensive dataset of global venture capital investments and surpasses human investors by large margins. Specifically, it excels at predicting the outcomes for start-ups in industries such as healthcare and IT. Meanwhile, we shed light on impacts on start-up success from observable factors including gender, education, and networking, which can be of value for practitioners as well as policy makers when they screen ventures of high growth potentials.
