Display front-of-screen (FOS) quality inspection is essential for the mass production of displays in the manufacturing process. However, the severe imbalanced data, especially the limited number of defective samples, has been a long-standing problem that hinders the successful application of deep learning algorithms. Synthetic defect data generation can help address this issue. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art synthetic data generation methods and the evaluation metrics that can potentially be applied to display FOS quality inspection tasks.

PAEDID: Patch Autoencoder-based Deep Image Decomposition for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection

March 13, 2023research area Computer Vision, research area Methods and Algorithmsconference IISE Transactions

Unsupervised pixel-level defective region segmentation is an important task in image-based anomaly detection for various industrial applications. The state-of-the-art methods have their own advantages and limitations: matrix-decomposition-based methods are robust to noise but lack complex background image modeling capability; representation-based methods are good at defective region localization but lack accuracy in defective region shape contour…

Utilizing Imperfect Synthetic Data to Improve Speech Recognition

May 23, 2022research area Speech and Natural Language Processingconference ICASSP

With recent advances in speech synthesis, synthetic data is becoming a viable alternative to real data for training speech recognition models. However, machine learning with synthetic data is not trivial due to the gap between the synthetic and the real data distributions. Synthetic datasets may contain artifacts that do not exist in real data such as structured noise, content errors, or unrealistic speaking styles. Moreover, the synthesis…
