模型反转攻击（MIAS）旨在创建合成图像，通过利用模型的学习知识来反映目标分类器的私人培训数据中的班级特征。先前的研究开发了生成的MIA，该MIA使用生成的对抗网络（GAN）作为针对特定目标模型的图像先验。这使得攻击时间和资源消耗，不灵活，并且容易受到数据集之间的分配变化的影响。为了克服这些缺点，我们提出了插头攻击，从而放宽了目标模型和图像之前的依赖性，并启用单个GAN来攻击广泛的目标，仅需要对攻击进行少量调整。此外，我们表明，即使在公开获得的预训练的gan和强烈的分配转变下，也可以实现强大的MIA，而先前的方法无法产生有意义的结果。我们的广泛评估证实了插头攻击的鲁棒性和灵活性，以及​​它们创建高质量图像的能力，揭示了敏感的类特征。

Due to the environmental impacts caused by the construction industry, repurposing existing buildings and making them more energy-efficient has become a high-priority issue. However, a legitimate concern of land developers is associated with the buildings' state of conservation. For that reason, infrared thermography has been used as a powerful tool to characterize these buildings' state of conservation by detecting pathologies, such as cracks and humidity. Thermal cameras detect the radiation emitted by any material and translate it into temperature-color-coded images. Abnormal temperature changes may indicate the presence of pathologies, however, reading thermal images might not be quite simple. This research project aims to combine infrared thermography and machine learning (ML) to help stakeholders determine the viability of reusing existing buildings by identifying their pathologies and defects more efficiently and accurately. In this particular phase of this research project, we've used an image classification machine learning model of Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) to differentiate three levels of cracks in one particular building. The model's accuracy was compared between the MSX and thermal images acquired from two distinct thermal cameras and fused images (formed through multisource information) to test the influence of the input data and network on the detection results.

Continual Learning, also known as Lifelong or Incremental Learning, has recently gained renewed interest among the Artificial Intelligence research community. Recent research efforts have quickly led to the design of novel algorithms able to reduce the impact of the catastrophic forgetting phenomenon in deep neural networks. Due to this surge of interest in the field, many competitions have been held in recent years, as they are an excellent opportunity to stimulate research in promising directions. This paper summarizes the ideas, design choices, rules, and results of the challenge held at the 3rd Continual Learning in Computer Vision (CLVision) Workshop at CVPR 2022. The focus of this competition is the complex continual object detection task, which is still underexplored in literature compared to classification tasks. The challenge is based on the challenge version of the novel EgoObjects dataset, a large-scale egocentric object dataset explicitly designed to benchmark continual learning algorithms for egocentric category-/instance-level object understanding, which covers more than 1k unique main objects and 250+ categories in around 100k video frames.

The fifth generation of the Radio Access Network (RAN) has brought new services, technologies, and paradigms with the corresponding societal benefits. However, the energy consumption of 5G networks is today a concern. In recent years, the design of new methods for decreasing the RAN power consumption has attracted interest from both the research community and standardization bodies, and many energy savings solutions have been proposed. However, there is still a need to understand the power consumption behavior of state-ofthe-art base station architectures, such as multi-carrier active antenna units (AAUs), as well as the impact of different network parameters. In this paper, we present a power consumption model for 5G AAUs based on artificial neural networks. We demonstrate that this model achieves good estimation performance, and it is able to capture the benefits of energy saving when dealing with the complexity of multi-carrier base stations architectures. Importantly, multiple experiments are carried out to show the advantage of designing a general model able to capture the power consumption behaviors of different types of AAUs. Finally, we provide an analysis of the model scalability and the training data requirements.

In the last decade, exponential data growth supplied machine learning-based algorithms' capacity and enabled their usage in daily-life activities. Additionally, such an improvement is partially explained due to the advent of deep learning techniques, i.e., stacks of simple architectures that end up in more complex models. Although both factors produce outstanding results, they also pose drawbacks regarding the learning process as training complex models over large datasets are expensive and time-consuming. Such a problem is even more evident when dealing with video analysis. Some works have considered transfer learning or domain adaptation, i.e., approaches that map the knowledge from one domain to another, to ease the training burden, yet most of them operate over individual or small blocks of frames. This paper proposes a novel approach to map the knowledge from action recognition to event recognition using an energy-based model, denoted as Spectral Deep Belief Network. Such a model can process all frames simultaneously, carrying spatial and temporal information through the learning process. The experimental results conducted over two public video dataset, the HMDB-51 and the UCF-101, depict the effectiveness of the proposed model and its reduced computational burden when compared to traditional energy-based models, such as Restricted Boltzmann Machines and Deep Belief Networks.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

移动网络第五代（5G）的能源消耗是电信行业的主要关注点之一。但是，目前没有一种评估5G基站（BSS）功耗的准确且可进行的方法。在本文中，我们提出了一个新颖的模型，以实现5G多载波BSS功耗的现实表征，该模型以大型数据收集活动为基础。首先，我们定义了允许对多个5G BS产品进行建模的机器学习体系结构。然后，我们利用该框架收集的知识来得出一个现实且可分析的功耗模型，这可以帮助推动理论分析以及功能标准化，开发和优化框架。值得注意的是，我们证明了这种模型具有很高的精度，并且能够捕获节能机制的好处。我们认为，该分析模型是理解5G BSS功耗的基本工具，并准确地优化了网络能源效率。

基于连续的潜在空间（例如变异自动编码器）的概率模型可以理解为无数混合模型，其中组件连续取决于潜在代码。它们具有用于生成和概率建模的表达性工具，但与可牵引的概率推断不符，即计算代表概率分布的边际和条件。同时，可以将概率模型（例如概率电路（PC））理解为层次离散混合模型，从而使它们可以执行精确的推断，但是与连续的潜在空间模型相比，它们通常显示出低于标准的性能。在本文中，我们研究了一种混合方法，即具有较小潜在尺寸的可拖动模型的连续混合物。尽管这些模型在分析上是棘手的，但基于一组有限的集成点，它们非常适合数值集成方案。有足够数量的集成点，近似值变得精确。此外，使用一组有限的集成点，可以将近似方法编译成PC中，以“在近似模型中的精确推断”执行。在实验中，我们表明这种简单的方案被证明非常有效，因为PC在许多标准密度估计基准上以这种方式为可拖动模型设定了新的最新模型。

用于图像分割的深卷卷卷神经网络不会明确学习标签结构，并且可能会在类似树状结构（例如气道或血管）分割的圆柱形结构中产生不正确的结构（例如，具有断开的圆柱形结构）的分割。在本文中，我们提出了一种新型的标签改进方法，以从初始分割中纠正此类错误，并隐含地包含有关标签结构的信息。该方法具有两个新颖的部分：1）生成合成结构误差的模型，以及2）产生合成分割（带有误差）的标签外观仿真网络，其外观与实际初始分段相似。使用这些合成分割和原始图像，对标签改进网络进行了训练，以纠正错误并改善初始分割。该方法对两个分割任务进行了验证：来自胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描和大脑3D CT血管造影（CTA）图像的脑血管分割的气道分割。在这两种应用中，我们的方法都大大优于标准的3D U-NET和其他先前的改进方法。当使用其他未标记的数据进行模型培训时，改进甚至更大。在消融研究中，我们证明了所提出方法的不同组成部分的值。

健壮的学习是科学机器学习（SCIML）的重要问题。文献中有几篇关于该主题的作品。但是，对方法的需求不断增加，可以同时考虑SCIML模型识别中涉及的所有不同不确定性组成部分。因此，这项工作提出了一种对SCIML的不确定性评估的综合方法，该方法还考虑了识别过程中涉及的几种不确定性来源。提出的方法中考虑的不确定性是缺乏理论和因果模型，对数据腐败或不完美的敏感性以及计算工作。因此，可以为SCIML领域中的不确定性感知模型提供总体策略。该方法通过案例研究验证，开发了用于聚合反应器的软传感器。结果表明，已识别的软传感器对于不确定性是可靠的，并以所提出的方法的一致性证实。
