BNCR-GAN improves GANs to generate clean images from degraded inputs.
problem Generating clean images from blurred, noisy, and compressed degraded inputs.
method Multiple-generator model with image, blur-kernel, noise, and quality-factor generators, using masking architectures and adaptive consistency losses.
result BNCR-GAN effectively learns clean image generators from degraded images without degradation parameters.
Paper develops a hybrid DNN approach for RUL prediction with adaptive drift.
problem RUL estimation challenges in practice, especially online update and uncertainty quantification.

result Superior accuracy in RUL prediction demonstrated on turbofan engines data.
An adversarial process between two deep neural networks is a promising approach to train a robust model. In this paper, we propose an adversarial process using cosine similarity, whereas conventional adversarial processes are based on inverted categorical cross entropy (CCE). When used for training an identification mo…
In industrial applications, nearly half the failures of motors are caused by the degradation of rolling element bearings (REBs). Therefore, accurately estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) for REBs are of crucial importance to ensure the reliability and safety of mechanical systems. To tackle this challenge, model…
The popularity of high and ultra-high definition displays has led to the need for methods to improve the quality of videos already obtained at much lower resolutions. Current Video Super-Resolution methods are not robust to mismatch between training and testing degradation models since they are trained against a single…
Study investigates how machine learning models degrade over time, leading to patient safety issues.
problem Overtime degradation of machine learning models in clinical settings.
method Used MIMIC-IV dataset to train models replicating commercial approaches, observing and analyzing degradation over a decade.
result An RNN model built on Epic features degrades from 0.729 AUC to 0.525 AUC over a decade, highlighting technical and clinical drift as root causes.
Integrating model-free and model-based approaches in reinforcement learning has the potential to achieve the high performance of model-free algorithms with low sample complexity. However, this is difficult because an imperfect dynamics model can degrade the performance of the learning algorithm, and in sufficiently com…
This work is attached to the BRICS 2013 competition. We propose a two-stage model for dealing with the temporal degradation of credit scoring models. This methodology produced motivating results in a 1-year horizon. We anticipate that it can be extended to other applications of risk assessment with great success. Futur…
Smaller actor-critic models lead to performance degradation and overfitting, highlighting the critic's role in value underestimation.
problem Performance degradation and overfitting in actor-critic models with smaller actors.
method Broad empirical investigations and analyses of asymmetric actor-critic setups, exploring techniques to mitigate value underestimation.
result Value underestimation is a key cause of performance degradation in smaller actor-critic models, and the critic plays a crucial role in mitigating this.
FIRE method improves model performance in federated learning by penalizing fragmentation-induced covariate shifts.
problem Performance degradation in federated learning due to data fragmentation and covariate shift.
method FIRE method accumulates fragmentation-induced covariate shift divergences via approximate Fisher information and uses it as a per-fragment loss penalty.
result FIRE outperforms importance weighting and federated learning benchmarks by up to 5.3% on shifted validation sets.
In this work, we ask two questions: 1. Can we predict the type of community interested in a news article using only features from the article content? and 2. How well do these models generalize over time? To answer these questions, we compute well-studied content-based features on over 60K news articles from 4 communit…
