    (IEEE, 2024) Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; han, lirong; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Haut, Juan Mario; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8613-7037; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X
    The increasing volume of remote sensing (RS) data offers substantial benefits for the extraction and interpretation of features from these scenes. Indeed, the detection of distinguishing features among captured materials and objects is crucial for classification purposes, such as in environmental monitoring applications. In these algorithms, the classes characterized by lower correlation often exhibit more distinct and discernible features, facilitating their differentiation in a straightforward manner. Nevertheless, the rise of Big Data provides a wide range of data acquired through multiple decentralized devices, where its susceptibility to be shared among various users or clients presents challenges in safeguarding privacy. Meanwhile, global features for similar classes are required to be learned for generalization purposes in the classification process. To address this, federated learning (FL) emerges as a privacy efficient decentralized solution. Firstly, in such scenarios, proprietary data is held by individual clients participating in the training of a global model. Secondly, clients may encounter challenges in identifying features that are more distinguishable within the data distributions of other clients. In this study, in order to handle these challenges, a novel methodology is proposed that considers the least correlated classes (LCCs) included in each client data distribution. This strategy exploits the distinctive features between classes, thereby enhancing performance and generalization ability in a secure and private environment.

    Deep mixed precision for hyperspectral image classification
    (Springer, 2021-02-03) Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; X. Tao; Haut, Juan Mario; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    Hyperspectral images (HSIs) record scenes at different wavelength channels, providing detailed spatial and spectral information. How to storage and process this highdimensional data plays a vital role in many practical applications, where classification technologies have emerged as excellent processing tools. However, their high computational complexity and energy requirements bring some challenges. Adopting low-power consumption architectures and deep learning (DL) approaches has to provide acceptable computing capabilities without reducing accuracy demand. However, most DL architectures employ single-precision (FP32) to train models, and some big DL architectures will have a limitation on memory and computation resources. This can negatively affect the network learning process. This letter leads these challenges by using mixed precision into DL architectures for HSI classification to speed up the training process and reduce the memory consumption/access. Proposed models are evaluated on four widely used data sets. Also, low and highpower consumption devices are compared, considering NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Titan RTX GPUs, to evaluate the proposal viability in on-board processing devices. Obtained results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of these models within HSI classification task for both devices. Source codes: https ://githu b.com/mhaut / CNN-MP-HSI.

    Deep Robust Hashing Using Self-Distillation for Remote Sensing Image Retrieval
    (IEEE, 2024) han,lirong; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Haut, Juan Mario; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8613-7037; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    This paper presents a novel self-distillation based deep robust hash for fast remote sensing (RS) image retrieval. Specifically, there are two primary processes in our proposed model: teacher learning (TL) and student learning (SL). Two transformed samples are produced from one sample image through nuanced and signalized transformations, respectively. Transformed samples are fed into both the TL and the SL flows. To reduce discrepancies in the processed samples and guarantee a consistent hash code, the parameters are shared by the two modules during the training stage. Then, a resilient module is employed to enhance the image features in order to ensure more dependable hash code production. Lastly, a three-component loss function is developed to train the entire model. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on two common RS datasets: UCMerced and AID. The experimental results validate that the proposed method has competitive performance against other RS image hashing methods.

    As a newly emerging technology, deep learning (DL) is a very promising field in big data applications. Remote sensing often involves huge data volumes obtained daily by numerous in-orbit satellites. This makes it a perfect target area for data-driven applications. Nowadays, technological advances in terms of software and hardware have a noticeable impact on Earth observation applications, more specifically in remote sensing techniques and procedures, allowing for the acquisition of data sets with greater quality at higher acquisition ratios. This results in the collection of huge amounts of remotely sensed data, characterized by their large spatial resolution (in terms of the number of pixels per scene), and very high spectral dimensionality, with hundreds or even thousands of spectral bands. As a result, remote sensing instruments on spaceborne and airborne platforms are now generating data cubes with extremely high dimensionality, imposing several restrictions in terms of both processing runtimes and storage capacity. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the state of the art in DL for remote sensing data interpretation, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the most widely used techniques in the literature, as well as an exhaustive description of their parallel and distributed implementations (with a particular focus on those conducted using cloud computing systems). We also provide quantitative results, offering an assessment of a DL technique in a specific case study (source code available: https://github.com/mhaut/cloud-dnn-HSI). This article concludes with some remarks and hints about future challenges in the application of DL techniques to distributed remote sensing data interpretation problems. We emphasize the role of the cloud in providing a powerful architecture that is now able to manage vast amounts of remotely sensed data due to its implementation simplicity, low cost, and high efficiency compared to other parallel and distributed architectures, such as grid computing or dedicated clusters.

    Evaluación de Rendimiento del Entrenamiento Distribuido de Redes Neuronales Profundas en Plataformas Heterogéneas

    Asynchronous stochastic gradient descent es una tecnica de optimizacion comunmente utilizada en el entrenamiento distribuido de redes neuronales profundas. En distribuciones basadas en particionamiento de datos, se entrena una replica del modelo en cada unidad de procesamiento de la plataforma, utilizando conjuntos de muestras denominados mini-batches. Este es un proceso iterativo en el que al nal de cada mini-batch, las replicas combinan los gradientes calculados para actualizar su copia local de los parametros. Sin embargo, al utilizar asincronismo, las diferencias en el tiempo de entrenamiento por iteracion entre replicas provocan la aparicion del staleness, esto es, las replicas progresan a diferente velocidad y en el entrenamiento de cada replica se utiliza una vers on no actualizada de los parametros. Un alto gradde staleness tiene un impacto negativo en la precision del modelo resultante. Ademas, las plataformas de computacion de alto rendimiento suelen ser heterogeneas, compuestas por CPUs y GPUs de diferentes capacidades, lo que agrava el problema de staleness. En este trabajo, se propone aplicar t ecnicas de equilibrio de carga computacional, bien conocidas en el campo de la Computaci on de Altas Prestaciones, al entrenamiento distribuido de modelos profundos. A cada r eplica se asignar a un n umero de mini-batches en proporci on a su velocidad relativa. Los resultados experimentales obtenidos en una plataforma hete-rog enea muestran que, si bien la precisi on se mantiene constante, el rendimiento del entrenamiento aumenta considerablemente, o desde otro punto de vista, en el mismo tiempo de entrenamiento, se alcanza una mayor precisi on en las estimaciones del modelo. Discutimos las causas de tal incremento en el rendimiento y proponemos los pr oximos pasos para futuras investigaciones.

    Training deep neural networks: a static load balancing approach
    (Springer, 2020-03-02) Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Haut, Juan Mario; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Díaz Martín, Juan Carlos; Plaza, Javier; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8435-3844; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8908-1606
    Deep neural networks are currently trained under data-parallel setups on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, so that a replica of the full model is charged to each computational resource using non-overlapped subsets known as batches. Replicas combine the computed gradients to update their local copies at the end of each batch. However, differences in performance of resources assigned to replicas in current heterogeneous platforms induce waiting times when synchronously combining gradients, leading to an overall performance degradation. Albeit asynchronous communication of gradients has been proposed as an alternative, it suffers from the so-called staleness problem. This is due to the fact that the training in each replica is computed using a stale version of the parameters, which negatively impacts the accuracy of the resulting model. In this work, we study the application of well-known HPC static load balancing techniques to the distributed training of deep models. Our approach is assigning a different batch size to each replica, proportional to its relative computing capacity, hence minimizing the staleness problem. Our experimental results (obtained in the context of a remotely sensed hyperspectral image processing application) show that, while the classification accuracy is kept constant, the training time substantially decreases with respect to unbalanced training. This is illustrated using heterogeneous computing platforms, made up of CPUs and GPUs with different performance.
