优化昂贵以评估黑盒功能在包含D对象的所有排列中的输入空间是许多真实应用的重要问题。例如，在硬件设计中放置功能块以通过仿真优化性能。总体目标是最小化函数评估的数量，以找到高性能的排列。使用贝叶斯优化（BO）框架解决这个问题的关键挑战是折衷统计模型的复杂性和采集功能优化的途径。在本文中，我们提出并评估了博的两个算法（BOPS）。首先，BOPS-T采用高斯工艺（GP）代理模型与KENDALL内核和基于Thompson采样的Trocable采集功能优化方法，以选择评估的排列顺序。其次，BOPS-H采用GP代理模型与锦葵内核和启发式搜索方法，以优化预期的改进采集功能。理论上，从理论上分析BOPS-T的性能，以表明他们的遗憾增加了亚线性。我们对多种综合和现实世界基准测试的实验表明，BOPS-T和BOPS-H均优于组合空间的最先进的BO算法。为了推动未来的对这个重要问题的研究，我们为社区提供了新的资源和现实世界基准。

In robotics and computer vision communities, extensive studies have been widely conducted regarding surveillance tasks, including human detection, tracking, and motion recognition with a camera. Additionally, deep learning algorithms are widely utilized in the aforementioned tasks as in other computer vision tasks. Existing public datasets are insufficient to develop learning-based methods that handle various surveillance for outdoor and extreme situations such as harsh weather and low illuminance conditions. Therefore, we introduce a new large-scale outdoor surveillance dataset named eXtremely large-scale Multi-modAl Sensor dataset (X-MAS) containing more than 500,000 image pairs and the first-person view data annotated by well-trained annotators. Moreover, a single pair contains multi-modal data (e.g. an IR image, an RGB image, a thermal image, a depth image, and a LiDAR scan). This is the first large-scale first-person view outdoor multi-modal dataset focusing on surveillance tasks to the best of our knowledge. We present an overview of the proposed dataset with statistics and present methods of exploiting our dataset with deep learning-based algorithms. The latest information on the dataset and our study are available at https://github.com/lge-robot-navi, and the dataset will be available for download through a server.

Diffusion-based generative models have achieved remarkable success in image generation. Their guidance formulation allows an external model to plug-and-play control the generation process for various tasks without fine-tuning the diffusion model. However, the direct use of publicly available off-the-shelf models for guidance fails due to their poor performance on noisy inputs. For that, the existing practice is to fine-tune the guidance models with labeled data corrupted with noises. In this paper, we argue that this practice has limitations in two aspects: (1) performing on inputs with extremely various noises is too hard for a single model; (2) collecting labeled datasets hinders scaling up for various tasks. To tackle the limitations, we propose a novel strategy that leverages multiple experts where each expert is specialized in a particular noise range and guides the reverse process at its corresponding timesteps. However, as it is infeasible to manage multiple networks and utilize labeled data, we present a practical guidance framework termed Practical Plug-And-Play (PPAP), which leverages parameter-efficient fine-tuning and data-free knowledge transfer. We exhaustively conduct ImageNet class conditional generation experiments to show that our method can successfully guide diffusion with small trainable parameters and no labeled data. Finally, we show that image classifiers, depth estimators, and semantic segmentation models can guide publicly available GLIDE through our framework in a plug-and-play manner.

Routine clinical visits of a patient produce not only image data, but also non-image data containing clinical information regarding the patient, i.e., medical data is multi-modal in nature. Such heterogeneous modalities offer different and complementary perspectives on the same patient, resulting in more accurate clinical decisions when they are properly combined. However, despite its significance, how to effectively fuse the multi-modal medical data into a unified framework has received relatively little attention. In this paper, we propose an effective graph-based framework called HetMed (Heterogeneous Graph Learning for Multi-modal Medical Data Analysis) for fusing the multi-modal medical data. Specifically, we construct a multiplex network that incorporates multiple types of non-image features of patients to capture the complex relationship between patients in a systematic way, which leads to more accurate clinical decisions. Extensive experiments on various real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority and practicality of HetMed. The source code for HetMed is available at https://github.com/Sein-Kim/Multimodal-Medical.

This work presents six structural quality metrics that can measure the quality of knowledge graphs and analyzes five cross-domain knowledge graphs on the web (Wikidata, DBpedia, YAGO, Google Knowledge Graph, Freebase) as well as 'Raftel', Naver's integrated knowledge graph. The 'Good Knowledge Graph' should define detailed classes and properties in its ontology so that knowledge in the real world can be expressed abundantly. Also, instances and RDF triples should use the classes and properties actively. Therefore, we tried to examine the internal quality of knowledge graphs numerically by focusing on the structure of the ontology, which is the schema of knowledge graphs, and the degree of use thereof. As a result of the analysis, it was possible to find the characteristics of a knowledge graph that could not be known only by scale-related indicators such as the number of classes and properties.

Image super-resolution is a common task on mobile and IoT devices, where one often needs to upscale and enhance low-resolution images and video frames. While numerous solutions have been proposed for this problem in the past, they are usually not compatible with low-power mobile NPUs having many computational and memory constraints. In this Mobile AI challenge, we address this problem and propose the participants to design an efficient quantized image super-resolution solution that can demonstrate a real-time performance on mobile NPUs. The participants were provided with the DIV2K dataset and trained INT8 models to do a high-quality 3X image upscaling. The runtime of all models was evaluated on the Synaptics VS680 Smart Home board with a dedicated edge NPU capable of accelerating quantized neural networks. All proposed solutions are fully compatible with the above NPU, demonstrating an up to 60 FPS rate when reconstructing Full HD resolution images. A detailed description of all models developed in the challenge is provided in this paper.

In this study, we propose a lung nodule detection scheme which fully incorporates the clinic workflow of radiologists. Particularly, we exploit Bi-Directional Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of various thicknesses (i.e., 3, 5 and 10mm) along with a 3D patch of CT scan, consisting of 10 adjacent slices to feed into self-distillation-based Multi-Encoders Network (MEDS-Net). The proposed architecture first condenses 3D patch input to three channels by using a dense block which consists of dense units which effectively examine the nodule presence from 2D axial slices. This condensed information, along with the forward and backward MIP images, is fed to three different encoders to learn the most meaningful representation, which is forwarded into the decoded block at various levels. At the decoder block, we employ a self-distillation mechanism by connecting the distillation block, which contains five lung nodule detectors. It helps to expedite the convergence and improves the learning ability of the proposed architecture. Finally, the proposed scheme reduces the false positives by complementing the main detector with auxiliary detectors. The proposed scheme has been rigorously evaluated on 888 scans of LUNA16 dataset and obtained a CPM score of 93.6\%. The results demonstrate that incorporating of bi-direction MIP images enables MEDS-Net to effectively distinguish nodules from surroundings which help to achieve the sensitivity of 91.5% and 92.8% with false positives rate of 0.25 and 0.5 per scan, respectively.

来自磁共振成像（MRI）的体积图像在直肠癌的术前分期提供了宝贵的信息。最重要的是，T2和T3阶段之间的准确术前歧视可以说是直肠癌治疗的最具挑战性和临床意义的任务，因为通常建议对T3（或更大）阶段癌症患者进行化学疗法。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个体积卷积神经网络，可准确区分T2与直肠MR体积的T3阶段直肠癌。具体而言，我们提出1）基于自定义的基于重新连接的卷编码器，该编码器与晚期融合的固定间关系建模（即最后一层的3D卷积），2）双线性计算，该计算汇总了编码器所得的功能以创建一个创建一个的功能体积特征和3）三重损失和焦点损失的关节最小化。通过病理确认的T2/T3直肠癌的MR量，我们进行了广泛的实验，以比较残留学习框架内的各种设计。结果，我们的网络达到了0.831的AUC，高于专业放射科医生组的准确性。我们认为该方法可以扩展到其他卷分析任务

最近的成功表明，可以通过文本提示来操纵图像，例如，在雨天的晴天，在雨天中被操纵到同一场景中，这是由文本输入“下雨”驱动的雨天。这些方法经常利用基于样式的图像生成器，该生成器利用多模式（文本和图像）嵌入空间。但是，我们观察到，这种文本输入通常在提供和综合丰富的语义提示时被瓶颈瓶颈，例如将大雨与雨雨区分开。为了解决这个问题，我们主张利用另一种方式，声音，在图像操纵中具有显着优势，因为它可以传达出比文本更多样化的语义提示（生动的情感或自然世界的动态表达）。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的方法，该方法首先使用声音扩展了图像文本接头嵌入空间，并应用了一种直接的潜在优化方法来根据音频输入（例如雨的声音）操纵给定的图像。我们的广泛实验表明，我们的声音引导的图像操纵方法在语义和视觉上比最先进的文本和声音引导的图像操纵方法产生更合理的操作结果，这通过我们的人类评估进一步证实。我们的下游任务评估还表明，我们学到的图像文本单嵌入空间有效地编码声音输入。

最近的深度学习模型在言语增强方面已经达到了高性能。但是，获得快速和低复杂模型而没有明显的性能降解仍然是一项挑战。以前的知识蒸馏研究对言语增强无法解决这个问题，因为它们的输出蒸馏方法在某些方面不符合语音增强任务。在这项研究中，我们提出了基于特征的蒸馏多视图注意转移（MV-AT），以在时域中获得有效的语音增强模型。基于多视图功能提取模型，MV-AT将教师网络的多视图知识传输到学生网络，而无需其他参数。实验结果表明，所提出的方法始终提高瓦伦蒂尼和深噪声抑制（DNS）数据集的各种规模的学生模型的性能。与基线模型相比，使用我们提出的方法（一种用于有效部署的轻巧模型）分别使用了15.4倍和4.71倍（FLOPS），与具有相似性能的基线模型相比，Many-S-8.1GF分别达到了15.4倍和4.71倍。
