能够直接在原始点云上学习有效的语义表示已成为3D理解中的一个核心主题。尽管进步迅速，但最新的编码器仍限制了典型的点云，并且在遇到几何变形扭曲时的性能弱于必要的性能。为了克服这一挑战，我们提出了Point-Stree，这是一种通用点云编码器，对基于放松的K-D树的转换非常可靠。我们方法的关键是使用主组件分析（PCA）在K-d树中设计了分区规则。我们将放松的K-D树的结构用作我们的计算图，并将特征作为边框描述符建模，并将其与点式最大最大操作合并。除了这种新颖的体系结构设计外，我们还通过引入预先对准进一步提高了鲁棒性 - 一种简单但有效的基于PCA的标准化方案。我们的PointTree编码器与预先对齐的结合始终优于大边距的最先进方法，用于从对象分类到广泛基础的数据集的各种转换版本的语义分割的应用程序。代码和预训练模型可在https://github.com/immortalco/pointtree上找到。

汉密尔顿蒙特卡洛（HMC）是抽样中的流行方法。尽管有很多关于各个方面的方法研究这种方法的作品，但一个有趣的问题是如何选择其集成时间以实现加速。在这项工作中，我们考虑通过HMC通过时间变化的集成时间来加速从分布$ \ pi（x）\ propto \ exp（-f（x））$采样的过程。当潜在的$ f $为$ l $ -smooth和$ m $ - $ -Strongly凸，即\ \ \用于从日志平滑且强烈的log-concove目标分配$ \ pi $进行采样时，已知在恒定的集成时间下，理想HMC需要获得$ \ epsilon $ wasserstein-2距离到目标$ \ pi $ is $ o（\ kappa \ log \ frac \ frac {1} {\ epsilon}）$的迭代数量kappa：= \ frac {l} {m} $是条件号。我们提出了一个基于Chebyshev多项式根源的时变整合时间的方案。我们表明，在二次潜在$ f $的情况下，即当目标$ \ pi $是高斯分布时，理想的HMC只需$ o（\ sqrt {\ kappa} \ log \ frac） {1} {\ epsilon}）$迭代数量到达Wasserstein-2距离小于$ \ epsilon $;对条件编号的依赖性的这种改善类似于优化的加速。 HMC随着建议的集成时间的设计和分析是建立在Chebyshev多项式工具上的。实验发现，即使是从没有二次的平稳凸电势的分布中进行的，即使是从具有平稳凸电势的分布中进行采样的优势也是如此。

如今，重球（HB）是非凸优化中最流行的动量方法之一。已经广泛观察到，将重球动态纳入基于梯度的方法中可以加速现代机器学习模型的训练过程。但是，建立其加速理论基础的进展显然远远落后于其经验成功。现有的可证明的加速结果是二次或近二次功能，因为当前显示HB加速度的技术仅限于Hessian固定时的情况。在这项工作中，我们开发了一些新技术，这些新技术有助于表现出二次超越二次的加速度，这是通过分析在两个连续时间点上如何变化的Hessian的变化来实现的，从而影响了收敛速度。基于我们的技术结果，一类Polyak- \ l {} Ojasiewicz（PL）优化问题可以通过HB确定可证明的加速度。此外，我们的分析证明了适应性设置动量参数的好处。

我们开发了一种使用无遗憾的游戏动态解决凸面优化问题的算法框架。通过转换最小化凸起函数以顺序方式解决Min-Max游戏的辅助问题的问题，我们可以考虑一系列必须在另一个之后选择其行动的两名员工的一系列策略。这些策略的常见选择是所谓的无悔的学习算法，我们描述了许多此类并证明了遗憾。然后，我们表明许多凸面优化的经典一阶方法 - 包括平均迭代梯度下降，弗兰克 - 沃尔夫算法，重球算法和Nesterov的加速方法 - 可以被解释为我们框架的特殊情况由于每个玩家都做出正确选择无悔的策略。证明该框架中的收敛速率变得非常简单，因为它们遵循适当已知的遗憾范围。我们的框架还引发了一些凸优化的特殊情况的许多新的一阶方法。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

Knowledge graphs (KG) have served as the key component of various natural language processing applications. Commonsense knowledge graphs (CKG) are a special type of KG, where entities and relations are composed of free-form text. However, previous works in KG completion and CKG completion suffer from long-tail relations and newly-added relations which do not have many know triples for training. In light of this, few-shot KG completion (FKGC), which requires the strengths of graph representation learning and few-shot learning, has been proposed to challenge the problem of limited annotated data. In this paper, we comprehensively survey previous attempts on such tasks in the form of a series of methods and applications. Specifically, we first introduce FKGC challenges, commonly used KGs, and CKGs. Then we systematically categorize and summarize existing works in terms of the type of KGs and the methods. Finally, we present applications of FKGC models on prediction tasks in different areas and share our thoughts on future research directions of FKGC.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown satisfying performance on various graph learning tasks. To achieve better fitting capability, most GNNs are with a large number of parameters, which makes these GNNs computationally expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy them onto edge devices with scarce computational resources, e.g., mobile phones and wearable smart devices. Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a common solution to compress GNNs, where a light-weighted model (i.e., the student model) is encouraged to mimic the behavior of a computationally expensive GNN (i.e., the teacher GNN model). Nevertheless, most existing GNN-based KD methods lack fairness consideration. As a consequence, the student model usually inherits and even exaggerates the bias from the teacher GNN. To handle such a problem, we take initial steps towards fair knowledge distillation for GNNs. Specifically, we first formulate a novel problem of fair knowledge distillation for GNN-based teacher-student frameworks. Then we propose a principled framework named RELIANT to mitigate the bias exhibited by the student model. Notably, the design of RELIANT is decoupled from any specific teacher and student model structures, and thus can be easily adapted to various GNN-based KD frameworks. We perform extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets, which corroborates that RELIANT achieves less biased GNN knowledge distillation while maintaining high prediction utility.

This paper focuses on designing efficient models with low parameters and FLOPs for dense predictions. Even though CNN-based lightweight methods have achieved stunning results after years of research, trading-off model accuracy and constrained resources still need further improvements. This work rethinks the essential unity of efficient Inverted Residual Block in MobileNetv2 and effective Transformer in ViT, inductively abstracting a general concept of Meta-Mobile Block, and we argue that the specific instantiation is very important to model performance though sharing the same framework. Motivated by this phenomenon, we deduce a simple yet efficient modern \textbf{I}nverted \textbf{R}esidual \textbf{M}obile \textbf{B}lock (iRMB) for mobile applications, which absorbs CNN-like efficiency to model short-distance dependency and Transformer-like dynamic modeling capability to learn long-distance interactions. Furthermore, we design a ResNet-like 4-phase \textbf{E}fficient \textbf{MO}del (EMO) based only on a series of iRMBs for dense applications. Massive experiments on ImageNet-1K, COCO2017, and ADE20K benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our EMO over state-of-the-art methods, \eg, our EMO-1M/2M/5M achieve 71.5, 75.1, and 78.4 Top-1 that surpass \textbf{SoTA} CNN-/Transformer-based models, while trading-off the model accuracy and efficiency well.

The development of social media user stance detection and bot detection methods rely heavily on large-scale and high-quality benchmarks. However, in addition to low annotation quality, existing benchmarks generally have incomplete user relationships, suppressing graph-based account detection research. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Relational Graph-Based Twitter Account Detection Benchmark (MGTAB), the first standardized graph-based benchmark for account detection. To our knowledge, MGTAB was built based on the largest original data in the field, with over 1.55 million users and 130 million tweets. MGTAB contains 10,199 expert-annotated users and 7 types of relationships, ensuring high-quality annotation and diversified relations. In MGTAB, we extracted the 20 user property features with the greatest information gain and user tweet features as the user features. In addition, we performed a thorough evaluation of MGTAB and other public datasets. Our experiments found that graph-based approaches are generally more effective than feature-based approaches and perform better when introducing multiple relations. By analyzing experiment results, we identify effective approaches for account detection and provide potential future research directions in this field.
