Restoring of damaged images is a fundamental problem that was attempted before digital image processing technology appeared. Various algorithms for reconstructing damaged images have been introduced. However, the results show inferior restoration results compared with manual restoration. Recent developments of DNN (Deep Neural Network) have introduced various studies that apply it to image restoration. However, if the wide area is damaged, it can not be solved by a general interpolation method. In this case, it is necessary to reconstruct the damaged area through contextual information of surrounding images. In this paper, we propose an image restoration network using a generative adversarial network (GAN). The proposed system consists of image generation network and discriminator network. The proposed network is verified through experiments that it is possible to recover not only the natural image but also the texture of the original image through the inference of the damaged area in restoring various types of images.

In the medical field, numerical imbalance of data due to differences in disease prevalence is a common problem. It reduces the performance of a artificial intelligence network, leading to difficulties in learning a network with good performance. Recently, generative adversarial network (GAN) technology has been introduced as a way to address this problem, and its ability has been demonstrated by successful applications in various fields. However, it is still difficult to achieve good results in solving problems with performance degraded by numerical imbalances because the image resolution of the previous studies is not yet good enough and the structure in the image is modeled locally. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale conditional generative adversarial network based on attention mechanism, which can produce high resolution images to solve the numerical imbalance problem of chest X-ray image data. The network was able to produce images for various diseases by controlling condition variables with only one network. It's efficient and effective in that the network don't need to be learned independently for all disease classes and solves the problem of long distance dependency in image generation with self-attention mechanism.

In this paper, we discuss a data balancing method for learning a neural network that generates digital holograms using a deep neural network (DNN). Deep neural networks are based on deep learning (DL) technology and use a generative adversarial network (GAN) series. The fringe pattern, which is the basic unit of a hologram to be created through a deep neural network, has very different data types depending on the hologram plane and the position of the object. However, because the criteria for classifying the data are not clear, an imbalance in the training data may occur. The imbalance of learning data acts as a factor of instability in learning. Therefore, it presents a method for classifying and balancing data for which the classification criteria are not clear. And it shows that learning is stabilized through this.

Adversarial training improves the robustness of deep neural networks for adversarial examples. However, the previous adversarial training method focuses only on the adversarial loss function, ignoring that even a small perturbation of the input layer causes a significant change in the hidden layer features. Consequently, the accuracy of a defended model is reduced for various untrained situations such as clean samples or other attack techniques. Therefore, an architectural perspective is necessary to improve feature representation power to solve this problem. In this paper, we apply an attention module that generates an attention map of an input image to a general model and performs PGD adversarial training upon the augmented model. In our experiments on the CIFAR-10 dataset, the attention augmented model showed higher accuracy than the general model regardless of the network structure. In particular, the robust accuracy of our approach was consistently higher for various attacks such as PGD, FGSM, and BIM and more powerful adversaries. By visualizing the attention map, we further confirmed that the attention module extracts features of the correct class even for adversarial examples.

GAN(Generative Adversarial Network) is an image generation model, which is composed of a generator network and a discriminator network, and generates an image similar to a real image. Since the image generated by the GAN should be similar to the actual image, a loss function is used to minimize the loss error of the generated image. However, there is a problem that the loss function of GAN degrades the quality of the image by making the learning to generate the image unstable. To solve this problem, this paper analyzes GAN-related studies and proposes an edge GAN(eGAN) using edge detection. As a result of the experiment, the eGAN model has improved performance over the existing GAN model.

Because the ECG signals are time-series data acquired as time elapses, it is important to obtain comparative data the same in size as the enrolled data every time. This paper suggests a network model of GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) based on an auxiliary classifier to generate synthetic ECG signals which may address the different data size issues. The Cosine similarity and Cross-correlation are used to examine the similarity of synthetic ECG signals. The analysis shows that the Average Cosine similarity was 0.991 and the Average Euclidean distance similarity based on cross-correlation was 0.25: such results indicate that data size difference issue can be resolved while the generated synthetic ECG signals, similar to real ECG signals, can create synthetic data even when the registered data are not the same as the comparative data in size.

A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a network in which two internal neural networks (generative network and discriminant network) learn while competing with each other. The generator creates an image close to reality, and the delimiter is programmed to better discriminate the image of the constructor. This technology is being used in various ways to create, transform, and restore the entire image X into another image Y. This paper describes a method that can be forged into another object naturally, after extracting only a partial image from the original image. First, a new image is created through the previously trained DCGAN model, after extracting only a partial image from the original image. The original image goes through a process of naturally combining with, after re-styling it to match the texture and size of the original image using the overall style transfer technique. Through this study, the user can naturally add/transform the desired object image to a specific part of the original image, so it can be used as another field of application for creating fake images.

Recently, deep neural network based approaches have shown a good performance for various fields of natural language processing. A huge amount of training data is essential for building a deep neural network model. However, collecting a large size of training data is a costly and time-consuming job. A data augmentation is one of the solutions to this problem. The data augmentation of text data is more difficult than that of image data because texts consist of tokens with discrete values. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are widely used for image generation. In this work, we generate sentimental texts by using one of the GANs, CS-GAN model that has a discriminator as well as a classifier. We evaluate the usefulness of generated sentimental texts according to various measurements. CS-GAN model not only can generate texts with more diversity but also can improve the performance of its classifier.

현재 딥러닝은 컴퓨터 분야에서 이미지 처리 방법으로 활용도가 높아지면서 딥러닝 모델 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 딥러닝 모델 중에서 이미지 생성모델은 대표적으로 GAN(Generative Adversarial Network, 생성적 적대 신경망) 모델을 활용하고 있다. GAN은 생성기 네트워크와 판별기 네트워크를 이용하여 진짜 같은 이미지를 생성한다. 생성된 이미지는 실제 이미지와의 오차를 최소화해야 하며 이때 사용하는 함수를 손실함수라고 한다. GAN에서 손실함수는 이미지를 생성하는 학습이 불안정하여 이미지 품질이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 개선된 GAN 관련 연구가 진행되고 있지만 완전한 문제 해결에는 부족하다. 본 논문은 7개의 GAN 모델에서 사용하는 손실함수를 분류하고 특징을 분석한다.
