Anticipating future actions based on video observations is an important task in video understanding, which would be useful for some precautionary systems that require response time to react before an event occurs. Since the input in action anticipation is only pre-action frames, models do not have enough information about the target action; moreover, similar pre-action frames may lead to different futures. Consequently, any solution using existing action recognition models can only be suboptimal. Recently, researchers have proposed using a longer video context to remedy the insufficient information in pre-action intervals, as well as the self-attention to query past relevant moments to address the anticipation problem. However, the indirect use of video input features as the query might be inefficient, as it only serves as the proxy to the anticipation goal. To this end, we propose an inductive attention model, which transparently uses prior prediction as the query to derive the anticipation result by induction from past experience. Our method naturally considers the uncertainty of multiple futures via the many-to-many association. On the large-scale egocentric video datasets, our model not only shows consistently better performance than state of the art using the same backbone, and is competitive to the methods that employ a stronger backbone, but also superior efficiency in less model parameters.

3D激光雷达语义细分对于自动驾驶是基础。最近已经提出了几种用于点云数据的无监督域适应性（UDA）方法，以改善不同传感器和环境的模型概括。研究图像域中研究UDA问题的研究人员表明，样品混合可以减轻域的转移。我们提出了一种针对点云UDA的样品混合的新方法，即组成语义混合（Cosmix），这是基于样品混合的第一种UDA方法。 Cosmix由一个两分支对称网络组成，该网络可以同时处理标记的合成数据（源）和现实世界中未标记的点云（目标）。每个分支通过从另一个域中混合选定的数据来在一个域上运行，并使用源标签和目标伪标签的语义信息。我们在两个大规模数据集上评估Cosmix，表明它的表现要优于最先进的方法。我们的代码可在https://github.com/saltoricristiano/cosmix-uda上找到。

3D点云语义细分对于自动驾驶至关重要。文献中的大多数方法都忽略了一个重要方面，即在处理动态场景时如何处理域转移。这可能会极大地阻碍自动驾驶车辆的导航能力。本文推进了该研究领域的最新技术。我们的第一个贡献包括分析点云细分中的新的未开发的方案，即无源的在线无监督域改编（SF-OUDA）。我们在实验上表明，最新的方法具有相当有限的能力，可以使预训练的深网模型以在线方式看不到域。我们的第二个贡献是一种依赖于自适应自我训练和几何传播的方法，以在线调整预训练的源模型，而无需源数据或目标标签。我们的第三个贡献是在一个充满挑战的设置中研究sf-ouda，其中源数据是合成的，目标数据是现实世界中捕获的点云。我们将最近的Synlidar数据集用作合成源，并引入了两个新的合成（源）数据集，这些数据集可以刺激未来的综合自动驾驶研究。我们的实验显示了我们分割方法对数千个现实点云的有效性。代码和合成数据集可在https://github.com/saltoricristiano/gipso-sfouda上找到。

在本报告中，我们描述了我们提交的Epic-Kitchen-100行动预期挑战的技术细节。我们的模型，高阶的复发时空变压器和带有边缘学习的消息通讯神经网络都是基于复发的架构，仅观察2.5秒的推理上下文，以形成动作预期预测。通过平均从我们建议的培训管道中编译的一组模型中的预测分数，我们在测试集上实现了强劲的性能，这是19.61％的总平均前五名召回率，在公共排行榜上被记录为第二名。

虽然标题模型已经获得了引人注目的结果，但在描述自然图像时，它们仍然不会涵盖现实世界概念的整个长尾分布。在本文中，我们通过在Web级自动收集的数据集上培训来解决与野外概念生成人类描述的任务。为此，我们提出了一种模型，该模型可以利用嘈杂的图像标题对，同时维持像Coco这样的传统人类注释数据集的描述性风格。我们的模型通过使用关键字和风格标记将内容从风格分开，使用单一目标是提示语言建模和比其他最近提出的更简单。在实验上，我们的模型在零拍摄设置中始终如一地占据了说明性质量和能力的现有方法。根据苹果酒公制，我们在使用外部数据时在Coco和Nocaps上获得新的最新状态。

连接视觉和语言在生成智能中起着重要作用。因此，已经致力于图像标题的大型研究工作，即用句法和语义有意义的句子描述图像。从2015年开始，该任务通常通过由Visual Encoder组成的管道和文本生成的语言模型来解决任务。在这些年来，两种组件通过对象区域，属性，介绍多模态连接，完全关注方法和伯特早期融合策略的利用而显着发展。但是，无论令人印象深刻的结果，图像标题的研究还没有达到结论性答案。这项工作旨在提供图像标题方法的全面概述，从视觉编码和文本生成到培训策略，数据集和评估度量。在这方面，我们量化地比较了许多相关的最先进的方法来确定架构和培训策略中最有影响力的技术创新。此外，讨论了问题的许多变体及其开放挑战。这项工作的最终目标是作为理解现有文献的工具，并突出显示计算机视觉和自然语言处理的研究领域的未来方向可以找到最佳的协同作用。

Background: Image analysis applications in digital pathology include various methods for segmenting regions of interest. Their identification is one of the most complex steps, and therefore of great interest for the study of robust methods that do not necessarily rely on a machine learning (ML) approach. Method: A fully automatic and optimized segmentation process for different datasets is a prerequisite for classifying and diagnosing Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) raw data. This study describes a deterministic computational neuroscience approach for identifying cells and nuclei. It is far from the conventional neural network approach, but it is equivalent to their quantitative and qualitative performance, and it is also solid to adversative noise. The method is robust, based on formally correct functions, and does not suffer from tuning on specific data sets. Results: This work demonstrates the robustness of the method against the variability of parameters, such as image size, mode, and signal-to-noise ratio. We validated the method on two datasets (Neuroblastoma and NucleusSegData) using images annotated by independent medical doctors. Conclusions: The definition of deterministic and formally correct methods, from a functional to a structural point of view, guarantees the achievement of optimized and functionally correct results. The excellent performance of our deterministic method (NeuronalAlg) to segment cells and nuclei from fluorescence images was measured with quantitative indicators and compared with those achieved by three published ML approaches.

The broad usage of mobile devices nowadays, the sensitiveness of the information contained in them, and the shortcomings of current mobile user authentication methods are calling for novel, secure, and unobtrusive solutions to verify the users' identity. In this article, we propose TypeFormer, a novel Transformer architecture to model free-text keystroke dynamics performed on mobile devices for the purpose of user authentication. The proposed model consists in Temporal and Channel Modules enclosing two Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent layers, Gaussian Range Encoding (GRE), a multi-head Self-Attention mechanism, and a Block-Recurrent structure. Experimenting on one of the largest public databases to date, the Aalto mobile keystroke database, TypeFormer outperforms current state-of-the-art systems achieving Equal Error Rate (EER) values of 3.25% using only 5 enrolment sessions of 50 keystrokes each. In such way, we contribute to reducing the traditional performance gap of the challenging mobile free-text scenario with respect to its desktop and fixed-text counterparts. Additionally, we analyse the behaviour of the model with different experimental configurations such as the length of the keystroke sequences and the amount of enrolment sessions, showing margin for improvement with more enrolment data. Finally, a cross-database evaluation is carried out, demonstrating the robustness of the features extracted by TypeFormer in comparison with existing approaches.

Digital media have enabled the access to unprecedented literary knowledge. Authors, readers, and scholars are now able to discover and share an increasing amount of information about books and their authors. Notwithstanding, digital archives are still unbalanced: writers from non-Western countries are less represented, and such a condition leads to the perpetration of old forms of discrimination. In this paper, we present the Under-Represented Writers Knowledge Graph (URW-KG), a resource designed to explore and possibly amend this lack of representation by gathering and mapping information about works and authors from Wikidata and three other sources: Open Library, Goodreads, and Google Books. The experiments based on KG embeddings showed that the integrated information encoded in the graph allows scholars and users to be more easily exposed to non-Western literary works and authors with respect to Wikidata alone. This opens to the development of fairer and effective tools for author discovery and exploration.

Content-Controllable Summarization generates summaries focused on the given controlling signals. Due to the lack of large-scale training corpora for the task, we propose a plug-and-play module RelAttn to adapt any general summarizers to the content-controllable summarization task. RelAttn first identifies the relevant content in the source documents, and then makes the model attend to the right context by directly steering the attention weight. We further apply an unsupervised online adaptive parameter searching algorithm to determine the degree of control in the zero-shot setting, while such parameters are learned in the few-shot setting. By applying the module to three backbone summarization models, experiments show that our method effectively improves all the summarizers, and outperforms the prefix-based method and a widely used plug-and-play model in both zero- and few-shot settings. Tellingly, more benefit is observed in the scenarios when more control is needed.
