Purpose: Tracking the 3D motion of the surgical tool and the patient anatomy is a fundamental requirement for computer-assisted skull-base surgery. The estimated motion can be used both for intra-operative guidance and for downstream skill analysis. Recovering such motion solely from surgical videos is desirable, as it is compliant with current clinical workflows and instrumentation. Methods: We present Tracker of Anatomy and Tool (TAToo). TAToo jointly tracks the rigid 3D motion of patient skull and surgical drill from stereo microscopic videos. TAToo estimates motion via an iterative optimization process in an end-to-end differentiable form. For robust tracking performance, TAToo adopts a probabilistic formulation and enforces geometric constraints on the object level. Results: We validate TAToo on both simulation data, where ground truth motion is available, as well as on anthropomorphic phantom data, where optical tracking provides a strong baseline. We report sub-millimeter and millimeter inter-frame tracking accuracy for skull and drill, respectively, with rotation errors below 1{\deg}. We further illustrate how TAToo may be used in a surgical navigation setting. Conclusion: We present TAToo, which simultaneously tracks the surgical tool and the patient anatomy in skull-base surgery. TAToo directly predicts the motion from surgical videos, without the need of any markers. Our results show that the performance of TAToo compares favorably to competing approaches. Future work will include fine-tuning of our depth network to reach a 1 mm clinical accuracy goal desired for surgical applications in the skull base.

The security of artificial intelligence (AI) is an important research area towards safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI systems. To accelerate the research on AI security, the Artificial Intelligence Security Competition (AISC) was organized by the Zhongguancun Laboratory, China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Tsinghua University, and RealAI as part of the Zhongguancun International Frontier Technology Innovation Competition (https://www.zgc-aisc.com/en). The competition consists of three tracks, including Deepfake Security Competition, Autonomous Driving Security Competition, and Face Recognition Security Competition. This report will introduce the competition rules of these three tracks and the solutions of top-ranking teams in each track.

We present a simple yet effective end-to-end Video-language Pre-training (VidLP) framework, Masked Contrastive Video-language Pretraining (MAC), for video-text retrieval tasks. Our MAC aims to reduce video representation's spatial and temporal redundancy in the VidLP model by a mask sampling mechanism to improve pre-training efficiency. Comparing conventional temporal sparse sampling, we propose to randomly mask a high ratio of spatial regions and only feed visible regions into the encoder as sparse spatial sampling. Similarly, we adopt the mask sampling technique for text inputs for consistency. Instead of blindly applying the mask-then-prediction paradigm from MAE, we propose a masked-then-alignment paradigm for efficient video-text alignment. The motivation is that video-text retrieval tasks rely on high-level alignment rather than low-level reconstruction, and multimodal alignment with masked modeling encourages the model to learn a robust and general multimodal representation from incomplete and unstable inputs. Coupling these designs enables efficient end-to-end pre-training: reduce FLOPs (60% off), accelerate pre-training (by 3x), and improve performance. Our MAC achieves state-of-the-art results on various video-text retrieval datasets, including MSR-VTT, DiDeMo, and ActivityNet. Our approach is omnivorous to input modalities. With minimal modifications, we achieve competitive results on image-text retrieval tasks.

By adopting popular pixel-wise loss, existing methods for defocus deblurring heavily rely on well aligned training image pairs. Although training pairs of ground-truth and blurry images are carefully collected, e.g., DPDD dataset, misalignment is inevitable between training pairs, making existing methods possibly suffer from deformation artifacts. In this paper, we propose a joint deblurring and reblurring learning (JDRL) framework for single image defocus deblurring with misaligned training pairs. Generally, JDRL consists of a deblurring module and a spatially invariant reblurring module, by which deblurred result can be adaptively supervised by ground-truth image to recover sharp textures while maintaining spatial consistency with the blurry image. First, in the deblurring module, a bi-directional optical flow-based deformation is introduced to tolerate spatial misalignment between deblurred and ground-truth images. Second, in the reblurring module, deblurred result is reblurred to be spatially aligned with blurry image, by predicting a set of isotropic blur kernels and weighting maps. Moreover, we establish a new single image defocus deblurring (SDD) dataset, further validating our JDRL and also benefiting future research. Our JDRL can be applied to boost defocus deblurring networks in terms of both quantitative metrics and visual quality on DPDD, RealDOF and our SDD datasets.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems typically yield output in lexical form. However, humans prefer a written form output. To bridge this gap, ASR systems usually employ Inverse Text Normalization (ITN). In previous works, Weighted Finite State Transducers (WFST) have been employed to do ITN. WFSTs are nicely suited to this task but their size and run-time costs can make deployment on embedded applications challenging. In this paper, we describe the development of an on-device ITN system that is streaming, lightweight & accurate. At the core of our system is a streaming transformer tagger, that tags lexical tokens from ASR. The tag informs which ITN category might be applied, if at all. Following that, we apply an ITN-category-specific WFST, only on the tagged text, to reliably perform the ITN conversion. We show that the proposed ITN solution performs equivalent to strong baselines, while being significantly smaller in size and retaining customization capabilities.

由于生成对抗网络（GAN）的突破，3D可控制的肖像合成已大大提高。但是，用精确的3D控制操纵现有的面部图像仍然具有挑战性。虽然连接gan倒置和3D感知，但噪声到图像是一种直接的解决方案，但它效率低下，可能导致编辑质量明显下降。为了填补这一空白，我们提出了3D-FM GAN，这是一个专门为3D可控制的面部操作设计的新型有条件GAN框架，并且在端到端学习阶段后不需要任何调整。通过小心地编码输入面图像和3D编辑的基于物理的渲染，我们的图像生成器提供了高质量，具有身份的3D控制面部操纵。为了有效地学习这种新颖的框架，我们制定了两种基本的训练策略和一种新颖的乘法共同调制体系结构，可在天真的方案上显着改善。通过广泛的评估，我们表明我们的方法在各种任务上的表现优于先前的艺术，具有更好的编辑性，更强的身份保存和更高的照片真实性。此外，我们在大型姿势编辑和室外图像上展示了设计更好的概括性。

联合学习（FL）使移动设备能够在保留本地数据的同时协作学习共享的预测模型。但是，实际上在移动设备上部署FL存在两个主要的研究挑战：（i）频繁的无线梯度更新v.s.频谱资源有限，以及（ii）培训期间渴望的FL通信和本地计算V.S.电池约束的移动设备。为了应对这些挑战，在本文中，我们提出了一种新型的多位空天空计算（MAIRCOMP）方法，用于FL中本地模型更新的频谱有效聚合，并进一步介绍用于移动的能源有效的FL设计设备。具体而言，高精度数字调制方案是在MAIRCOMP中设计和合并的，允许移动设备同时在多访问通道中同时在所选位置上传模型更新。此外，我们理论上分析了FL算法的收敛性。在FL收敛分析的指导下，我们制定了联合传输概率和局部计算控制优化，旨在最大程度地减少FL移动设备的总体能源消耗（即迭代局部计算 +多轮通信）。广泛的仿真结果表明，我们提出的方案在频谱利用率，能源效率和学习准确性方面优于现有计划。

有效的骨干网络对于基于深度学习的可变形医学图像注册（DMIR）很重要，因为它可以提取和匹配两个图像之间的特征，以发现互联网的相互对应。但是，现有的深网关注单图像，并且在配对图像上执行的注册任务有限。因此，我们推进了一个新型的骨干网络Xmorpher，用于DMIR中有效的相应特征表示。 1）它提出了一种新颖的完整变压器体系结构，包括双重平行特征提取网络，通过交叉注意交换信息，从而在逐渐提取相应的特征以逐渐提取最终有效注册时发现了多层次的语义对应。 2）它推进了交叉注意变压器（CAT）块，以建立图像之间的注意机制，该图像能够自动找到对应关系并提示特征在网络中有效融合。 3）它限制了基本窗口和搜索不同尺寸的窗口之间的注意力计算，因此着重于可变形注册的局部转换，并同时提高了计算效率。我们的Xmorpher没有任何铃铛和哨子，可在DSC上提高2.8％的素孔，以证明其对DMIR中配对图像的特征的有效表示。我们认为，我们的Xmorpher在更多配对的医学图像中具有巨大的应用潜力。我们的Xmorpher在https://github.com/solemoon/xmorpher上开放
