Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in machine learning, enabling collaborative model training across decentralized devices while preserving data privacy. However, FL's success is highly contingent on the quality and integrity ...
Why should we confine land cover classes to rigid and arbitrary definitions? Land cover mapping is a central task in remote sensing image processing, but the rigorous class definitions can sometimes restrict the transferability of annotations between datas ...
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have made significant progress in various machine learning tasks. Despite their success, many existing GNN models are shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, creating a stringent need to build robust GNN architectures. I ...
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's, afflict tens of millions of patients worldwide. They are characterized by protein aggregation and progressive neuronal loss, leading to cognitive and motor impairments, and ult ...
The generation of transferable adversarial perturbations typically involves training a generator to maximize embedding separation between clean and adversarial images at a single mid-layer of a source model. In this work, we build on this approach and intr ...
Non-regular or irregular statistical problems are those that do not satisfy a set of standard regularity conditions that allow useful theoretical properties of inferential procedures to be proven. Non-regular problems are prevalent; a classical example is ...
The transition matrix, frequently abbreviated as T-matrix, contains the complete information in a linear approximation of how a spatially localized object scatters an incident field. The T-matrix is used to study the scattering response of an isolated obje ...

Machine learning has provided a means to accelerate early-stage drug discovery by combining molecule generation and filtering steps in a single architecture that leverages the experience and design preferences of medicinal chemists. However, designing mach ...
In humans and animals, surprise is a physiological reaction to an unexpected event, but how surprise can be linked to plausible models of neuronal activity is an open problem. We propose a self-supervised spiking neural network model where a surprise signa ...
Deep metric learning (DML) has shown to be effective for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) in remote sensing (RS). Most of the DML methods for CBIR rely on a high number of annotated images to accurately learn model parameters of deep neural networks (D ...
Statistical (machine-learning, ML) models are more and more often used in computational chemistry as a substitute to more expensive ab initio and parametrizable methods. While the ML algorithms are capable of learning physical laws implicitly from data, ad ...
