Despite the simplicity, stochastic gradient descent (SGD)-like algorithms are successful in training deep neural networks (DNNs). Among various attempts to improve SGD, weight averaging (WA), which averages the weights of multiple models,…

In a variational denoising model, weight in the data fidelity term plays the role of enhancing the noise-removal capability. It is profoundly correlated with noise information, while also balancing the data fidelity and regularization…

Generalisation of a deep neural network (DNN) is one major concern when employing the deep learning approach for solving practical problems. In this paper we propose a new technique, named approximated orthonormal normalisation (AON), to…

Decisions under uncertainty or with multiple objectives usually require the decision maker to formulate a preference regarding risks or trade-offs. If this preference is known, the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) criterion can be applied…

In this paper a class of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs is discussed. The uncertainty is modeled by specifying a discrete scenario set containing $K$ distinct cost scenarios. The Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA for…

While distributed training is often viewed as a solution to optimizing linear models on increasingly large datasets, inter-machine communication costs of popular distributed approaches can dominate as data dimensionality increases. Recent…

A new image denoising algorithm to deal with the additive Gaussian white noise model is given. Like the non-local means method, the filter is based on the weighted average of the observations in a neighborhood, with weights depending on the…

During the acquisition of an image from its source, noise always becomes an integral part of it. Various algorithms have been used in past to denoise the images. Image denoising still has scope for improvement. Visual information…

The problem of aggregation is considerable importance in many disciplines. In this paper, a new type of operator called visibility graph averaging (VGA) aggregation operator is proposed. This proposed operator is based on the visibility…

Distributed data aggregation is an important task, allowing the decentralized determination of meaningful global properties, that can then be used to direct the execution of other applications. The resulting values result from the…

The performance of deep neural networks is enhanced by ensemble methods, which average the output of several models. However, this comes at an increased cost at inference. Weight averaging methods aim at balancing the generalization of…

Minimization of boundary curvature is a classic regularization technique for image segmentation in the presence of noisy image data. Techniques for minimizing curvature have historically been derived from descent methods which could be…

Deep learning-based methods have shown remarkable success for various image restoration tasks such as denoising and deblurring. The current state-of-the-art networks are relatively deep and utilize (variants of) self attention mechanisms.…

Many studies have been conducted so far on image restoration, the problem of restoring a clean image from its distorted version. There are many different types of distortion which affect image quality. Previous studies have focused on…
