Identity preserving face completion with generative adversarial networks by Xudong WANG, Hongquan WEI, Chao GAO, Ruiyang HUANG

“…As a special application of image completion technology,face image completion has an irreplaceable role in the occlusion of face recognition,portrait restoration and other issues.The existing face completion algorithm only aims at complementing the authenticity of the image without considering its identity consistency after completion.A face complement algorithm based on improved generative confrontation network was designed.By introducing SN-GAN algorithm,the stability of model training was improved.At the same time,the identity recognition constraint was added to the generated image using the face recognition model.Experiments have shown that the proposed method can effectively maintain the identity of the complementary image when generating high-authenticity images.…”

Method of improving big data value density based on heterogeneous association by Shaomin WANG, Zheng WANG

“…The big data resources possessed by telecom operators are usually distributed in many different systems,such as DPI、OIDD、CRM.Moreover,the formulation,interpretation and rules of the big data are not always the same in different systems.Therefore,it is difficult to identify and utilize the same object’s multi-type data in different sys-tems.Big data analysis’ sample size and dimension are limited,with the decreasing of analysis results’ reality and accuracy.The methods,architectures and implementation examples of big data’s heterogeneous association were pre-sented.The data fusion in user-dimension from different systems could optimize the data sample space of applications,such as user portrait.Thus,the value of carrier’s big data density was greatly improved.…”
