As for multi-uninhabited aerial vehicle cooperative fire fighting problem, a multiuninhabited aerial vehicle cooperative control method was proposed based on consensus algorithm. multi-uninhabited aerial vehicle cooperative control problem was divided into two steps: 1) a multi-uninhabited aerial vehicle arrival simultaneous control strategy under influence of wind field based on consensus algo...

Siamese Neural Networks for One-Shot Image Recognition Gregory Koch Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2015 The process of learning good features for machine learning applications can be very computationally expensive and may prove difficult in cases where little data is available. A prototypical example of this is the one-shot learning setting, in w...

In this paper, we propose a new text recognition model based on measuring the visual similarity of text and predicting the content of the unlabeled texts. First a Siamese network is trained with deep supervision on a labeled training dataset. This network projects texts into a similarity manifold. The Deeply Supervised Siamese network learns visual similarity of texts. Then a K-nearest neighbor...

Bioactive cyclic peptides and depsipeptides which are isolated from natural sources provide a range of key lead structures for the design of new drugs, as reflected by the notable increase in peptideand depsipeptide-based drugs during recent years. However, peptides as drugs show some drawbacks that are inherently associated with their structure. Thus, linear peptides can be degraded rapidly by...

This paper focuses on metric learning with Siamese Neural Networks (SNN). Without any prior, SNNs learn to compute a non-linear metric using only similarity and dissimilarity relationships between input data. Our SNN model proposes three contributions: a tuple-based architecture, an objective function with a norm regularisation and a polar sine-based angular reformulation for cosine dissimilari...

OBJECTIVES Physical fighting is a behaviour of concern that puts adolescents at increased risk for injury. The study objectives were to: 1) describe current patterns of physical fighting and fighting-related injury among Canadian adolescents, and 2) investigate potential trends in fighting and fighting-related injuries during the period 1993-2010. METHODS Canadian data from cycles 2-6 (1993-2...

Several types of composite eggs were found in two species of paedogenetic gall midges. One composite egg, consisting of two blastoderms, was cultured in vitro, and its development was recorded on film. Two other composite eggs were fixed in the oocyte stage; each contained two nurse chambers, two egg chambers and one oocyte nucleus. Some other 'eggs' are described, which consisted merely of a n...

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for cross-domain classification in aerial vehicle images based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). The proposed method, called Siamese-GAN, learns invariant feature representations for both labeled and unlabeled images coming from two different domains. To this end, we train in an adversarial manner a Siamese encoder–decoder architecture coupled ...

Online and cloud storage has become an increasingly popular location to store personal data that led to raising the concerns about storage and retrieval. Similarity-preserving hashing techniques were used for fast storing and retrieval of data. In this paper, a new technique is proposed that uses both randomizing and hashing techniques in a joint structure. The proposed structure uses a Siamese...
