Publication Open Access Generalizing max pooling via (a, b)-grouping functions for convolutional neural networks(Elsevier, 2023) Rodríguez Martínez, Iosu; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Herrera, Francisco; Takáč, Zdenko; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaDue to their high adaptability to varied settings and effective optimization algorithm, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have set the state-of-the-art on image processing jobs for the previous decade. CNNs work in a sequential fashion, alternating between extracting significant features from an input image and aggregating these features locally through ‘‘pooling" functions, in order to produce a more compact representation. Functions like the arithmetic mean or, more typically, the maximum are commonly used to perform this downsampling operation. Despite the fact that many studies have been devoted to the development of alternative pooling algorithms, in practice, ‘‘max-pooling" still equals or exceeds most of these possibilities, and has become the standard for CNN construction. In this paper we focus on the properties that make the maximum such an efficient solution in the context of CNN feature downsampling and propose its replacement by grouping functions, a family of functions that share those desirable properties. In order to adapt these functions to the context of CNNs, we present (𝑎, 𝑏)- grouping functions, an extension of grouping functions to work with real valued data. We present different construction methods for (𝑎, 𝑏)-grouping functions, and demonstrate their empirical applicability for replacing max-pooling by using them to replace the pooling function of many well-known CNN architectures, finding promising results.Publication Open Access A study on the suitability of different pooling operators for convolutional neural networks in the prediction of COVID-19 through chest x-ray image analysis(Elsevier, 2024) Rodríguez Martínez, Iosu; Ursúa Medrano, Pablo; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Takáč, Zdenko; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThe 2019 coronavirus disease outbreak, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome type-2 virus (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Since its emergence to the present day, this disease has brought multiple countries to the brink of health care collapse during several waves of the disease. One of the most common tests performed on patients is chest x-ray imaging. These images show the severity of the patient's illness and whether it is indeed covid or another type of pneumonia. Automated assessment of this type of imaging could alleviate the time required for physicians to treat and diagnose each patient. To this end, in this paper we propose the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to carry out this process. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we present a pipeline adapted to this problem, covering all steps from the preprocessing of the datasets to the generation of classification models based on CNNs. Secondly, we have focused our study on the modification of the information fusion processes of this type of architectures, in the pooling layers. We propose a number of aggregation theory functions that are suitable to replace classical processes and have shown their benefits in past applications, and study their performance in the context of the x-ray classification problem. We find that replacing the feature reduction processes of CNNs leads to drastically different behaviours of the final model, which can be beneficial when prioritizing certain metrics such as precision or recall.
