  • Deep Learning for Heterogeneous Domain Adaptation

    Transfer knowledge across different feature domains and build classifiers above the transferred knowledges.

    Transfer Neural Trees is proposed to transfer classifiers to a different dimensional space with deep neural network.

  • Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Imbalanced Cross-domain Data

    Information of labeled source-domain data is transferred to the unlabeled target-domain, which may be a small set with imbalanced label counts.

    Closest Common Space Learning is proposed to combine sub-domain level classifiers to identify better source data applicability.

  • Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Balanced Cross-domain Data

    A set of labeled source-domain data is used to construct classifier for the unlabeled target-domain data.

    An algorithm is proposed to address source-target mismatch and project them to a common space.

  • Noise Removal of Photoplethysmographic (PPG) Signals

    Remove noises in PPG signals induced by motions by decorrelating the PPG with accelerometer signal.

    An algorithm is proposed to project the signal into a complex plane, in which a temporal filter will be performed, followed by ensemble voting for the optimal beat counts.
