Physically disabled patients such as the paralyzed, amputees and stroke patients find it difficult to perform daily activities on their own. A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) using Electroencephalography (EEG) signals is an option for the rehabilitation of these patients. The BCI function can be enhanced by decoding the movements from a limb through an intuitive control of the prosthetic arm. However, decoding them with the traditional classifiers is a challenging task. In this paper, a two-stage hierarchical framework is proposed for the decoding of reach-and-grasp actions. In stage-l, the action signals are separated from rest segments based on power spectral density features and a fine k-nearest neighbor classifier (FKNN). In stage-2, the signals identified as action are further classified into palmar and lateral type reach-and-grasp actions using the mean absolute value features with the FKNN classifier. In comparison with the existing classifiers, the proposed method has a superior performance of 85.38% test accuracy.

Electroglottograph (EGG) is a device used to measure the conductance between the vocal folds. The analysis of EGG signal has many applications in the literature such as speech-to-text synthesis, voice disorder analysis, emotion recognition, speaker verification, etc. Therefore, the EGG device is essential to record the vocal folds activity. Alternatively, a new method is proposed in this work to synthesize the EGG waveform from speech signal using a context aggregation convolutional neural network. The synthesis network is trained by accounting the deep feature losses obtained by comparing it with another network called the EGG classification network. The synthesized EGG signal needs to be characterized. During the voiced speech production, the instants at which the vocal folds attain complete closure are called glottal closure instants (GCIs). Likewise, the opening instants are called glottal opening instants (GOIs). Such instants are reliably measured using the EGG signal. The performance of the proposed method is compared with other state-of-the-art techniques. The CMU-Arctic database has a parallel corpus of speech and EGG signal recorded simultaneously. This database is used for training the synthesis network and for comparison purposes. It is found that the performance of extracting glottal instants from synthesized EGG signals is comparable to other methods.

Despite high prediction accuracy, deep networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, designed by inducing human-indiscernible perturbations to clean images. Hence, adversarial samples can mislead already trained deep networks. The process of generating adversarial examples can assist us in investigating the robustness of different models. Many developed adversarial attacks often fail under challenging black-box settings. Hence, it is required to improve transferability of adversarial attacks to an unknown model. In this aspect, we propose to increase the rate of transferability by inducing linearity in a few intermediate layers of architecture. The proposed design does not disturb the original architecture much. The design focuses on significance of intermediate layers in generating feature maps suitable for a task. By analyzing the intermediate feature maps of architecture, a particular layer can be more perturbed to improve the transferability. The performance is further enhanced by considering diverse input patterns. Experimental results demonstrate the success in increasing the transferability of our proposition.

Temporal Gesture Segmentation is an active research problem for many applications such as surgical skill assessment, surgery training, robotic training. In this paper, we propose a novel method for Gesture Segmentation on untrimmed surgical videos of the challenging JIGSAWS dataset by using a two-step methodology. We train and evaluate our method on 39 videos of the Suturing task which has 10 gestures. The length of gestures ranges from 1 second to 75 seconds and full video length varies from 1 minute to 5 minutes. In step one, we extract encoded frame-wise spatio-temporal features on full temporal resolution of the untrimmed videos. In step two, we use these extracted features to identify gesture segments for temporal segmentation and classification. To extract high-quality features from the surgical videos, we also pre-train gesture classification models using transfer learning on the JIGSAWS dataset using two state-of-the-art pretrained backbone architectures. For segmentation, we propose an improved calibrated MS-TCN (CMS-TCN) by introducing a smoothed focal loss as loss function which helps in regularizing our TCN to avoid making over-confident decisions. We achieve a frame-wise accuracy of 89.8% and an Edit Distance score of 91.5%, an improvement of 2.2% from previous works. We also propose a novel evaluation metric that normalizes the effect of correctly classifying the frames of larger segments versus smaller segments in a single score.

Cataract is the most common cause of blindness in the world. Early detection and treatment can lower the risk of cataract progression. The diagnostic performance of existing computer-aided cataract grading (CACG) methods often deteriorates due to the sophisticated image capture technology. The common retinal fundus image aberrations such as noise and blur are unavoidable in practice. In this paper, a CACG method is proposed to achieve robust cataract grading under adversarial conditions such as noise and blur. The presented CACG method is designed using three deep neural network variants. Each variant is fine-tuned individually using good, noisy, and blur retinal fundus images to achieve optimum performance. Further, the input image quality detection module is incorporated in the proposed CACG method to detect input image distortion and then pivots the input image to the desired deep neural network variant. Gaussian noise and blur models are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested CACG method. The proposed CACG approach exhibits superior performance to existing methods under adversarial conditions.

This paper introduces a novel unified neural Multi-Resolution Analysis (MRA) architecture that uses Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) integrated Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) along with DWT pooling. As convolution with pooling operation in CNN has equivalence with filtering and downsampling operation in a DWT filter bank, both are unified to form an end-to-end deep learning wavelet CNN model. The DWT pooling mechanism is also used to further enhance the MRA capability of this wavelet CNN. Using the first two wavelets of the Daubechies family, we present here a comprehensive set of improved texture classification results with several updates in the model architecture. These updates in the CNN model architecture apply to any node generally associated with the time-frequency analysis of the input signal.

Spoofed Speech Detection (SSD) problem has been an important problem, especially for Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) systems. However, the techniques used for designing countermeasure systems for SSD task are attack-specific, and therefore the solutions are far from a generalized SSD system, which can detect any type of spoofed speech. On the other hand, Voice Liveness Detection (VLD) systems rely on the characteristics of live speech (i.e., pop noise) to detect whether an utterance is live or not. Given that the attacker has the freedom to mount any type of attack, VLD systems play a crucial role in defending against spoofing attacks, irrespective of the type of spoof used by the attacker. To that effect, we propose Generalized Morse Wavelet (GMW)-based features for VLD, with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as the classifier at the back-end. In this context, we use pop noise as a discriminative acoustic cue to detect live speech. Pop noise is present in live speech signals at low frequencies (typically $leq 40$ Hz), caused by human breath reaching at the closely-placed microphone. We show that for $gamma =3$, the Morse wavelet has the highest concentration of information denoted by the least area of the Heisenberg’s box. Hence, we take $gamma =3$ for our experiments on Morse wavelets. We compare the performance of our system with Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT)-Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based original baseline, and other existing systems, such as Constant Q-Transform (CQT)-SVM, STFT-CNN, and bump wavelet-CNN. With overall accuracy of 86.90% on evaluation set, our proposed system significantly outperforms STFT-SVM-based original baseline, CQT-SVM, STFT-CNN, and bump wavelet-CNN by an absolute margin of 18.97 %, 8. 02%, 15. 09%, and 12. 21%, respectively. Finally, we have also analyzed the effect of various phoneme types on VLD system performance.
欺骗语音检测(SSD)问题一直是一个重要的问题，特别是在自动说话人验证(ASV)系统中。然而，用于设计SSD任务的对抗系统的技术是针对特定攻击的，因此解决方案与可以检测任何类型的欺骗语音的通用SSD系统相去甚远。另一方面，语音活性检测(VLD)系统依赖于实时语音的特征(即流行噪声)来检测话语是否实时。鉴于攻击者可以自由地发起任何类型的攻击，VLD系统在防御欺骗攻击方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而不管攻击者使用哪种类型的欺骗。为此，我们提出了基于广义莫尔斯小波(GMW)的VLD特征，并将卷积神经网络(CNN)作为后端分类器。在这种情况下，我们使用流行噪音作为判别声学线索来检测现场语音。流行噪声存在于低频率(通常为$leq 40$ Hz)的实时语音信号中，是由人的呼吸到达靠近的麦克风引起的。我们表明，对于$gamma =3$，莫尔斯小波具有最高的信息集中度，由海森堡盒子的最小面积表示。因此，我们选取$gamma =3$作为摩尔斯小波的实验。我们将系统的性能与基于短时傅立叶变换(STFT)-支持向量机(SVM)的原始基线，以及其他现有系统(如常数q变换(CQT)-SVM, STFT- cnn和bump wavelet-CNN)进行了比较。总体准确率为86.90% on evaluation set, our proposed system significantly outperforms STFT-SVM-based original baseline, CQT-SVM, STFT-CNN, and bump wavelet-CNN by an absolute margin of 18.97 %, 8. 02%, 15. 09%, and 12. 21%, respectively.

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) enhance the performance of wireless systems by reflecting the incoming signals towards a desired user, especially in the mmWave bands. However, this requires optimizing the discrete reflection coefficients of the IRS elements, which crucially depends on the availability of accurate channel state information (CSI) of all links in the system. Further, in wideband systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a given IRS configuration cannot be simultaneously optimal for all the subcarriers, and hence the phase optimization is not straightforward. In this paper, we propose a novel IRS phase configuration scheme in OFDM systems by first leveraging the sparsity of the channel in the angular domain to estimate the CSI using simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit (SOMP) algorithm, and then devising a novel and computationally efficient binary IRS phase configuration algorithm using majorization-minimization (MM). Simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the approach in comparison with the state-of-the-art.

This paper presents the design of compact, tunable, high rejection 6th-order C-Band Iris Coupled Cavity Bandpass Filter. The design approach followed includes the use of Chebychev low pass filter prototype elements to calculate normalized capacitance per unit length between resonators & ground and also between adjacent resonators. With the help of coupling and tuning screws, the bandwidth and center frequency of the filter can be tuned for desired performance. Coaxial capacitance formula is used to compute the diameter of the screws. CST tool is used to simulate & optimize the theoretically calculate physical dimensions to further improve the filter performance and obtain better tolerance sensitivity. Finally, a 6th order prototype is fabricated and tuned to obtain the desired performance. The cavity design & resonator calculations have been carried out in such a manner that the same hardware can be tuned to both the frequency bands i.e., 4.4-4.6 GHz (Band I) and 4.8-5.0 GHz (Band II) to meet the desired specifications. A prototype is fabricated and experimental validation is presented.

This paper presents a new time-varying decomposition method based on the Hilbert Vibration Decomposition (HVD) for estimating heart rate from a Seismocardiogram (SCG). The heart rate (HR) estimation method consists of signal decomposition using the HVD algorithm, heart rate envelope generation, and peak detection from the smooth envelope for beat-to-beat interval calculation. We derived the heart rate variability (HRV) metrics from the interbeat intervals. The method doesn’t require a reference ECG signal. The same signals are also subjected to Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) methods. To compare these three decomposition methods, the CEBS database from Physionet Archive was used for testing and validation. The results show better accuracy in beat-to-beat interval estimation using the HVD method than others, and HRV metrics are accurately derived using our methodology. The performance results demonstrate that the standard ECG-derived heartbeats and HRV metrics and SCG-derived heartbeats and HRV metrics are comparable for healthy subjects.
