Visual Images Segmentation based on Uniform Textures Extraction
Goltsev, A.; Gritsenko, V.; Húsek, Dušan
2020 - English
A new effective procedure for partial texture segmentation of visual images is proposed. The procedure segments any input image into a number of non-overlapping homogeneous ne-grained texture areas. The main advantages of the proposed procedure are as follows. It is completely unsupervised, that is, it processes the input image without any prior knowledge of either the type of textures or the number of texture segments in the image. In addition, the procedure segments arbitrary images of all types. This means that no changes to the procedure parameters are required to switch from one image type to another. Another major advantage of the procedure is that in most cases it extracts the uniform ne-grained texture segments present in the image, just as humans do. This result is supported by series of experiments that demonstrate the ability of the procedure to delineate uniform ne-grained texture segments over a wide range of images. At a minimum, image processing according to the proposed technique leads to a signficant reduction in the uncertainty of the internal structure of the analyzed image.

ECB monetary policy and commodity prices
Aliyev, S.; Kočenda, Evžen
2020 - English
We analyze the impact of the ECB monetary policies on global aggregate and sectoral commodity prices using monthly data from January 2001 till August 2019. We employ a SVAR model and assess separately period of conventional monetary policy before global financial crisis (GFC) and unconventional monetary policy during post-crisis period. Our key results indicate that contractionary monetary policy shocks have positive effects on the aggregate and sectoral commodity prices during both conventional and unconvetional monetary policy periods. The effect is statistically significant for aggregate commodity prices during post-crisis period. In terms of sectoral impact, the effect is statistically significant for food prices in both periods and for fuel prices during post-crisis period; other commodities display positive but statistically insignificant responses. Further, we demonstrate that the impact of the ECB monetary policy on commodity prices increased remarkably after the GFC. Our results also suggest that the effect of the ECB monetary policy on commodity prices does not transmit directly through market demand and supply expectations channel, but rather through the exchange rate channel that influences the European market demand directly.

Bayesian Selective Transfer Learning for Patient-Specific Inference in Thyroid Radiotherapy
Murray, Sean Ernest; Quinn, Anthony
2020 - English
This research report outlines a selective transfer approach for Bayesian estimation of patient-specific levels of radioiodine activity in the thyroid during the treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The work seeks to address some limitations of previous approaches [4] which involve generic, non-selective transfer of archival data. It is proposed that improvements in patient-specific inferences may be achieved via transferring external population knowledge selectively. This involves matching the patient to a similar sub-population based on available metadata, generating a Gaussian Mixture Model within the partitioned data, and optimally transferring a data predictive distribution from the sub-population to the specific patient. Additionally, a performance evaluation method is proposed and early-stage results presented.

Bayesian transfer learning between autoregressive inference tasks
Barber, Alec; Quinn, Anthony
2020 - English
Bayesian transfer learning typically relies on a complete stochastic dependence speci cation between source and target learners which allows the opportunity for Bayesian conditioning. We advocate that any requirement for the design or assumption of a full model between target and sources is a restrictive form of transfer learning.

Region of interest tomography
Vopálenský, Michal; Kumpová, Ivana
2020 - English
During standard tomographic process, the acquisition of tomographic data (projections) is performed with geometric adjustment of the tomographic assembly ensuring that the projection of the entire width of the examined object fits onto the detector during the full object rotation. Because of the limited width of the detector, this approach has a limited maximum achievable resolution for the given specimen diameter. It is possible to make higher magnification, but then the projections do not fit onto the detector, which causes certain problems during the reconstruction, but allows achieving of higher resolution in the always-visible region of the object (the region of interest). The research was focused on evaluation of ROI tomography approach on the TORATOM tomograph.
