缺乏创造力的抽象方法在自动文本摘要中尤其是一个问题。模型产生的摘要主要是从源文章中提取的。该问题的主要原因之一是缺乏抽象性的数据集，尤其是对于中文而言。为了解决这个问题，我们用CLT中的参考摘要解释，中国长文本摘要数据集，正确的事实不一致的错误，并提出了第一个中国长文本摘要数据集，其中包含高度的clts+，其中包含超过更多的中文。 180k文章 - 苏格尔对，可在线购买。此外，我们引入了一个基于共发生词的固有度量，以评估我们构建的数据集。我们对CLTS+摘要中使用的提取策略进行了针对其他数据集的提取策略，以量化我们的新数据的抽象性和难度，并在CLTS+上训练多个基线，以验证IT的实用性以提高模型的创造力。

In this work, we introduce a hypergraph representation learning framework called Hypergraph Neural Networks (HNN) that jointly learns hyperedge embeddings along with a set of hyperedge-dependent embeddings for each node in the hypergraph. HNN derives multiple embeddings per node in the hypergraph where each embedding for a node is dependent on a specific hyperedge of that node. Notably, HNN is accurate, data-efficient, flexible with many interchangeable components, and useful for a wide range of hypergraph learning tasks. We evaluate the effectiveness of the HNN framework for hyperedge prediction and hypergraph node classification. We find that HNN achieves an overall mean gain of 7.72% and 11.37% across all baseline models and graphs for hyperedge prediction and hypergraph node classification, respectively.

Several self-supervised representation learning methods have been proposed for reinforcement learning (RL) with rich observations. For real-world applications of RL, recovering underlying latent states is crucial, particularly when sensory inputs contain irrelevant and exogenous information. In this work, we study how information bottlenecks can be used to construct latent states efficiently in the presence of task-irrelevant information. We propose architectures that utilize variational and discrete information bottlenecks, coined as RepDIB, to learn structured factorized representations. Exploiting the expressiveness bought by factorized representations, we introduce a simple, yet effective, bottleneck that can be integrated with any existing self-supervised objective for RL. We demonstrate this across several online and offline RL benchmarks, along with a real robot arm task, where we find that compressed representations with RepDIB can lead to strong performance improvements, as the learned bottlenecks help predict only the relevant state while ignoring irrelevant information.

Learning fair graph representations for downstream applications is becoming increasingly important, but existing work has mostly focused on improving fairness at the global level by either modifying the graph structure or objective function without taking into account the local neighborhood of a node. In this work, we formally introduce the notion of neighborhood fairness and develop a computational framework for learning such locally fair embeddings. We argue that the notion of neighborhood fairness is more appropriate since GNN-based models operate at the local neighborhood level of a node. Our neighborhood fairness framework has two main components that are flexible for learning fair graph representations from arbitrary data: the first aims to construct fair neighborhoods for any arbitrary node in a graph and the second enables adaption of these fair neighborhoods to better capture certain application or data-dependent constraints, such as allowing neighborhoods to be more biased towards certain attributes or neighbors in the graph.Furthermore, while link prediction has been extensively studied, we are the first to investigate the graph representation learning task of fair link classification. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed neighborhood fairness framework for a variety of graph machine learning tasks including fair link prediction, link classification, and learning fair graph embeddings. Notably, our approach achieves not only better fairness but also increases the accuracy in the majority of cases across a wide variety of graphs, problem settings, and metrics.

Deep learning classifiers provide the most accurate means of automatically diagnosing diabetic retinopathy (DR) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its angiography (OCTA). The power of these models is attributable in part to the inclusion of hidden layers that provide the complexity required to achieve a desired task. However, hidden layers also render algorithm outputs difficult to interpret. Here we introduce a novel biomarker activation map (BAM) framework based on generative adversarial learning that allows clinicians to verify and understand classifiers decision-making. A data set including 456 macular scans were graded as non-referable or referable DR based on current clinical standards. A DR classifier that was used to evaluate our BAM was first trained based on this data set. The BAM generation framework was designed by combing two U-shaped generators to provide meaningful interpretability to this classifier. The main generator was trained to take referable scans as input and produce an output that would be classified by the classifier as non-referable. The BAM is then constructed as the difference image between the output and input of the main generator. To ensure that the BAM only highlights classifier-utilized biomarkers an assistant generator was trained to do the opposite, producing scans that would be classified as referable by the classifier from non-referable scans. The generated BAMs highlighted known pathologic features including nonperfusion area and retinal fluid. A fully interpretable classifier based on these highlights could help clinicians better utilize and verify automated DR diagnosis.

Safety-critical Autonomous Systems require trustworthy and transparent decision-making process to be deployable in the real world. The advancement of Machine Learning introduces high performance but largely through black-box algorithms. We focus the discussion of explainability specifically with Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). As a safety-critical system, AVs provide the unique opportunity to utilize cutting-edge Machine Learning techniques while requiring transparency in decision making. Interpretability in every action the AV takes becomes crucial in post-hoc analysis where blame assignment might be necessary. In this paper, we provide positioning on how researchers could consider incorporating explainability and interpretability into design and optimization of separate Autonomous Vehicle modules including Perception, Planning, and Control.

Graphic sketch representations are effective for representing sketches. Existing methods take the patches cropped from sketches as the graph nodes, and construct the edges based on sketch's drawing order or Euclidean distances on the canvas. However, the drawing order of a sketch may not be unique, while the patches from semantically related parts of a sketch may be far away from each other on the canvas. In this paper, we propose an order-invariant, semantics-aware method for graphic sketch representations. The cropped sketch patches are linked according to their global semantics or local geometric shapes, namely the synonymous proximity, by computing the cosine similarity between the captured patch embeddings. Such constructed edges are learnable to adapt to the variation of sketch drawings, which enable the message passing among synonymous patches. Aggregating the messages from synonymous patches by graph convolutional networks plays a role of denoising, which is beneficial to produce robust patch embeddings and accurate sketch representations. Furthermore, we enforce a clustering constraint over the embeddings jointly with the network learning. The synonymous patches are self-organized as compact clusters, and their embeddings are guided to move towards their assigned cluster centroids. It raises the accuracy of the computed synonymous proximity. Experimental results show that our method significantly improves the performance on both controllable sketch synthesis and sketch healing.

As an important data selection schema, active learning emerges as the essential component when iterating an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model. It becomes even more critical given the dominance of deep neural network based models, which are composed of a large number of parameters and data hungry, in application. Despite its indispensable role for developing AI models, research on active learning is not as intensive as other research directions. In this paper, we present a review of active learning through deep active learning approaches from the following perspectives: 1) technical advancements in active learning, 2) applications of active learning in computer vision, 3) industrial systems leveraging or with potential to leverage active learning for data iteration, 4) current limitations and future research directions. We expect this paper to clarify the significance of active learning in a modern AI model manufacturing process and to bring additional research attention to active learning. By addressing data automation challenges and coping with automated machine learning systems, active learning will facilitate democratization of AI technologies by boosting model production at scale.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has been highly successful in transferring knowledge acquired from a label-rich source domain to a label-scarce target domain. Open-set domain adaptation (ODA) and universal domain adaptation (UNDA) have been proposed as solutions to the problem concerning the presence of additional novel categories in the target domain. Existing ODA and UNDA approaches treat all novel categories as one unified unknown class and attempt to detect this unknown class during the training process. We find that domain variance leads to more significant view-noise in unsupervised data augmentation, affecting the further applications of contrastive learning~(CL), as well as the current closed-set classifier and open-set classifier causing the model to be overconfident in novel class discovery. To address the above two issues, we propose Soft-contrastive All-in-one Network~(SAN) for ODA and UNDA tasks. SAN includes a novel data-augmentation-based CL loss, which is used to improve the representational capability, and a more human-intuitive classifier, which is used to improve the new class discovery capability. The soft contrastive learning~(SCL) loss is used to weaken the adverse effects of the data-augmentation label noise problem, which is amplified in domain transfer. The All-in-One~(AIO) classifier overcomes the overconfidence problem of the current mainstream closed-set classifier and open-set classifier in a more human-intuitive way. The visualization results and ablation experiments demonstrate the importance of the two proposed innovations. Moreover, extensive experimental results on ODA and UNDA show that SAN has advantages over the existing state-of-the-art methods.

The miniaturization and mobility of computer vision systems are limited by the heavy computational burden and the size of optical lenses. Here, we propose to use a ultra-thin diffractive optical element to implement passive optical convolution. A division adjoint opto-electronic co-design method is also proposed. In our simulation experiments, the first few convolutional layers of the neural network can be replaced by optical convolution in a classification task on the CIFAR-10 dataset with no power consumption, while similar performance can be obtained.
