Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network Based De-Blurring Using Perceptual Similarity

The de-blurring of blurred images is one of the most important image processing methods and it can be used for the preprocessing step in many multimedia and computer vision applications. Recently, de-blurring methods have been performed by ...

Two-Argument Activation Functions Learn Soft XOR Operations Like Cortical Neurons

Neurons in the brain are complex machines with distinct functional compartments that interact nonlinearly. In contrast, neurons in artificial neural networks abstract away this complexity, typically down to a scalar activation function of a...

Parametric Predictions for Pure Electric Vehicles

Demand for pure electric vehicles has been found to be increasing over the years. This has necessitated the development of a model that would serve as a predicting machine for manufacturing different types of pure electric vehicles. Direct ...

Retrieval of carbon dioxide vertical concentration profiles from satellite data using artificial neural networks
