接受注释较弱的对象探测器是全面监督者的负担得起的替代方案。但是，它们之间仍然存在显着的性能差距。我们建议通过微调预先训练的弱监督检测器来缩小这一差距，并使用``Box-In-box''（bib'（bib）自动从训练集中自动选择了一些完全注销的样品，这是一种新颖的活跃学习专门针对弱势监督探测器的据可查的失败模式而设计的策略。 VOC07和可可基准的实验表明，围嘴表现优于其他活跃的学习技术，并显着改善了基本的弱监督探测器的性能，而每个类别仅几个完全宣布的图像。围嘴达到了完全监督的快速RCNN的97％，在VOC07上仅10％的全已通量图像。在可可（COCO）上，平均每类使用10张全面通量的图像，或同等的训练集的1％，还减少了弱监督检测器和完全监督的快速RCN之间的性能差距（In AP）以上超过70％ ，在性能和数据效率之间表现出良好的权衡。我们的代码可在https://github.com/huyvvo/bib上公开获取。

变形金刚和蒙版语言建模在计算机视觉中很快被视为视觉变压器和蒙版图像建模（MIM）。在这项工作中，我们认为由于图像中令牌的数量和相关性，图像令牌掩盖与文本中的令牌掩盖有所不同。特别是，为了为MIM产生具有挑战性的借口任务，我们主张从随机掩盖到知情掩盖的转变。我们在基于蒸馏的MIM的背景下开发并展示了这一想法，其中教师变压器编码器生成了一个注意力图，我们用它来指导学生为学生指导掩盖。因此，我们引入了一种新颖的掩蔽策略，称为注意引导蒙版（ATTMASK），我们证明了其对基于密集蒸馏的MIM以及基于普通蒸馏的自然剥离的自助力学习的有效性。我们确认ATTMASK可以加快学习过程，并提高各种下游任务的性能。我们在https://github.com/gkakogeorgiou/attmask上提供实现代码。

The human visual system has the remarkably ability to be able to effortlessly learn novel concepts from only a few examples. Mimicking the same behavior on machine learning vision systems is an interesting and very challenging research problem with many practical advantages on real world vision applications. In this context, the goal of our work is to devise a few-shot visual learning system that during test time it will be able to efficiently learn novel categories from only a few training data while at the same time it will not forget the initial categories on which it was trained (here called base categories). To achieve that goal we propose (a) to extend an object recognition system with an attention based few-shot classification weight generator, and (b) to redesign the classifier of a ConvNet model as the cosine similarity function between feature representations and classification weight vectors. The latter, apart from unifying the recognition of both novel and base categories, it also leads to feature representations that generalize better on "unseen" categories. We extensively evaluate our approach on Mini-ImageNet where we manage to improve the prior state-of-the-art on few-shot recognition (i.e., we achieve 56.20% and 73.00% on the 1-shot and 5-shot settings respectively) while at the same time we do not sacrifice any accuracy on the base categories, which is a characteristic that most prior approaches lack. Finally, we apply our approach on the recently introduced few-shot benchmark of Bharath and Girshick [4] where we also achieve stateof-the-art results. The code and models of our paper will be published on: https://github.com/gidariss/ FewShotWithoutForgetting.

Over the last years, deep convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) have transformed the field of computer vision thanks to their unparalleled capacity to learn high level semantic image features. However, in order to successfully learn those features, they usually require massive amounts of manually labeled data, which is both expensive and impractical to scale. Therefore, unsupervised semantic feature learning, i.e., learning without requiring manual annotation effort, is of crucial importance in order to successfully harvest the vast amount of visual data that are available today. In our work we propose to learn image features by training Con-vNets to recognize the 2d rotation that is applied to the image that it gets as input. We demonstrate both qualitatively and quantitatively that this apparently simple task actually provides a very powerful supervisory signal for semantic feature learning. We exhaustively evaluate our method in various unsupervised feature learning benchmarks and we exhibit in all of them state-of-the-art performance. Specifically, our results on those benchmarks demonstrate dramatic improvements w.r.t. prior state-of-the-art approaches in unsupervised representation learning and thus significantly close the gap with supervised feature learning. For instance, in PASCAL VOC 2007 detection task our unsupervised pre-trained AlexNet model achieves the state-of-the-art (among unsupervised methods) mAP of 54.4% that is only 2.4 points lower from the supervised case. We get similarly striking results when we transfer our unsupervised learned features on various other tasks, such as ImageNet classification, PASCAL classification, PASCAL segmentation, and CIFAR-10 classification. The code and models of our paper will be published on: https://github.com/gidariss/FeatureLearningRotNet.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are remarkably good at approximating complex non-linear relationships. Most ML training processes, however, are designed to deliver ML tools with good average performance, but do not offer any guarantees about their worst-case estimation error. For safety-critical systems such as power systems, this places a major barrier for their adoption. So far, approaches could determine the worst-case violations of only trained ML algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to introduce a neural network training procedure designed to achieve both a good average performance and minimum worst-case violations. Using the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem as a guiding application, our approach (i) introduces a framework that reduces the worst-case generation constraint violations during training, incorporating them as a differentiable optimization layer; and (ii) presents a neural network sequential learning architecture to significantly accelerate it. We demonstrate the proposed architecture on four different test systems ranging from 39 buses to 162 buses, for both AC-OPF and DC-OPF applications.

Industry 4.0 aims to optimize the manufacturing environment by leveraging new technological advances, such as new sensing capabilities and artificial intelligence. The DRAEM technique has shown state-of-the-art performance for unsupervised classification. The ability to create anomaly maps highlighting areas where defects probably lie can be leveraged to provide cues to supervised classification models and enhance their performance. Our research shows that the best performance is achieved when training a defect detection model by providing an image and the corresponding anomaly map as input. Furthermore, such a setting provides consistent performance when framing the defect detection as a binary or multiclass classification problem and is not affected by class balancing policies. We performed the experiments on three datasets with real-world data provided by Philips Consumer Lifestyle BV.

Quality control is a crucial activity performed by manufacturing companies to ensure their products conform to the requirements and specifications. The introduction of artificial intelligence models enables to automate the visual quality inspection, speeding up the inspection process and ensuring all products are evaluated under the same criteria. In this research, we compare supervised and unsupervised defect detection techniques and explore data augmentation techniques to mitigate the data imbalance in the context of automated visual inspection. Furthermore, we use Generative Adversarial Networks for data augmentation to enhance the classifiers' discriminative performance. Our results show that state-of-the-art unsupervised defect detection does not match the performance of supervised models but can be used to reduce the labeling workload by more than 50%. Furthermore, the best classification performance was achieved considering GAN-based data generation with AUC ROC scores equal to or higher than 0,9898, even when increasing the dataset imbalance by leaving only 25\% of the images denoting defective products. We performed the research with real-world data provided by Philips Consumer Lifestyle BV.

Climate change is expected to aggravate wildfire activity through the exacerbation of fire weather. Improving our capabilities to anticipate wildfires on a global scale is of uttermost importance for mitigating their negative effects. In this work, we create a global fire dataset and demonstrate a prototype for predicting the presence of global burned areas on a sub-seasonal scale with the use of segmentation deep learning models. Particularly, we present an open-access global analysis-ready datacube, which contains a variety of variables related to the seasonal and sub-seasonal fire drivers (climate, vegetation, oceanic indices, human-related variables), as well as the historical burned areas and wildfire emissions for 2001-2021. We train a deep learning model, which treats global wildfire forecasting as an image segmentation task and skillfully predicts the presence of burned areas 8, 16, 32 and 64 days ahead of time. Our work motivates the use of deep learning for global burned area forecasting and paves the way towards improved anticipation of global wildfire patterns.

在排放限制下优化的气体网络规划优化优先考虑最少$ _2 $强度的天然气供应。由于此问题包括复杂的气流物理定律，因此标准优化求解器无法保证融合与可行解决方案。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一个输入 - 控制神经网络（ICNN）辅助优化例程，该程序结合了一组训练有素的ICNN，以高精度近似于气流方程。比利时气体网络上的数值测试表明，ICNN辅助优化主导了非凸和基于弛豫的求解器，其最佳增长较大，与更严格的发射目标有关。此外，每当非凸线求解器失败时，ICNN ADED优化为网络计划提供了可行的解决方案。

新兴的非挥发记忆设备的备忘录在神经形态硬件设计中显示出有希望的潜力，尤其是在尖峰神经网络（SNN）硬件实现方面。基于Memristor的SNN已成功应用于各种应用程序，包括图像分类和模式识别。但是，在文本分类中实施基于备忘录的SNN仍在探索中。主要原因之一是，培训基于备忘录的SNN用于文本分类是由于缺乏有效的学习规则和不理想性的不存在。为了解决这些问题，并加快了在文本分类应用程序中探索基于备忘录的尖峰神经网络的研究，我们使用经验的Memristor模型开发了使用虚拟备忘录阵列的仿真框架。我们使用此框架来演示IMDB电影评论数据集中的情感分析任务。我们采用两种方法，通过将预训练的人工神经网络（ANN）转换为基于Memristor的SNN或2），通过直接训练基于Memristor的SNN，以获取训练有素的尖峰神经网络：1）通过将预训练的人工神经网络（ANN）转换为基于Memristor的SNN。这两种方法可以在两种情况下应用：离线分类和在线培训。鉴于等效ANN的基线训练精度为86.02％，我们通过将预训练的ANN转换为基于Memristor的SNN的ANN通过将预培训的ANN转换为基于Memristor的SNN的85.88％的分类准确性为85.88％。我们得出的结论是，可以在从ANN到SNN以及从非同步突触到数据驱动的Memristive突触的模拟中实现类似的分类精度。我们还研究了诸如Spike火车长度，读取噪声和重量更新停止条件之类的全局参数如何影响两种方法的神经网络。
