胸部X射线（CXR）中准确的异常定位可以使各种胸部疾病的临床诊断受益。但是，病变水平的注释只能由经验丰富的放射科医生进行，这是乏味且耗时的，因此很难获得。这种情况导致难以开发CXR的完全监督异常定位系统。在这方面，我们建议通过一个弱半监督的策略来训练CXR异常本地化框架，称为“超越阶级”（PBC），该策略（PBC）使用了少数带有病变级别边界框的完全注释的CXR，并通过广泛的弱化的样品和大量的带有注释的样品。点。这样的点注释设置可以通过边缘注释成本提供弱实例级信息，以实现异常定位。尤其是，我们的PBC背后的核心思想是学习从点注释到边界框的强大而准确的映射，以根据注释点的差异。为此，提出了一个正则化项，即多点的一致性，它驱动模型从相同异常内的不同点注释中生成一致的边界框。此外，还提出了一种被称为对称的一致性的自学，也提出了从弱注释的数据中深入利用有用的信息来实现异常定位。 RSNA和VINDR-CXR数据集的实验结果证明了该方法的有效性。当使用少于20％的盒子级标签进行训练时，与当前的最新方法相比，我们的PBC可以在MAP中提高〜5的改进（即点DETR）。代码可从https://github.com/haozheliu-st/point-beyond-class获得。

多实体点云注册是估计目标点云中源点云实例的多个姿势的问题。解决此问题是具有挑战性的，因为一个实例的嵌入对应关系构成了所有其他实例的异常值。现有方法通常依赖于耗时的假设抽样或具有利用空间一致性的特征，从而导致性能有限。在本文中，我们提出了PointClm，这是一个基于对比的学习构成点云注册的框架。我们首先利用对比度学习来学习投入推定的对应关系的完善的深层表示。然后，基于这些表示形式，我们提出了一个异常的修剪策略和聚类策略，以有效地删除异常值并将其余对应关系分配给正确实例。我们的方法的表现优于合成数据集和真实数据集的最新方法。

众所周知，深度学习方法是渴望数据的，它需要大量标记的样本。不幸的是，大量的交互式样品标记工作极大地阻碍了深度学习方法的应用，尤其是对于需要异质样本的3D建模任务。为了减轻对FA \ c {C} ADS的3D建模的数据注释的工作，本文提出了一种半监督的对抗识别策略，该策略嵌入了逆程序建模中。从纹理LOD-2（详细级别）模型开始，我们使用经典的卷积神经网络来识别来自图像补丁的类型并估算Windows的参数。然后将窗口类型和参数组装到程序语法中。一个简单的程序引擎是在现有的3D建模软件中构建的，产生了细粒的窗户几何形状。为了从一些标记的样品中获得有用的模型，我们利用生成对抗网络以半监督的方式训练特征提取器。对抗训练策略还可以利用未标记的数据，使训练阶段更加稳定。使用公开可用的FA \ c {C} ADE图像数据集的实验表明，在同一网络结构下，提出的培训策略可以提高分类精度的提高约10％，参数估计提高了50％。此外，在针对具有不同fa \ c {c} ADE样式的不同数据测试时，性能提高更为明显。

这项工作提出了一个新颖的框架CISFA（对比图像合成和自我监督的特征适应），该框架建立在图像域翻译和无监督的特征适应性上，以进行跨模式生物医学图像分割。与现有作品不同，我们使用单方面的生成模型，并在输入图像的采样贴片和相应的合成图像之间添加加权贴片对比度损失，该图像用作形状约束。此外，我们注意到生成的图像和输入图像共享相似的结构信息，但具有不同的方式。因此，我们在生成的图像和输入图像上强制实施对比损失，以训练分割模型的编码器，以最大程度地减少学到的嵌入空间中成对图像之间的差异。与依靠对抗性学习进行特征适应的现有作品相比，这种方法使编码器能够以更明确的方式学习独立于域的功能。我们对包含腹腔和全心的CT和MRI图像的分割任务进行了广泛评估。实验结果表明，所提出的框架不仅输出了较小的器官形状变形的合成图像，而且还超过了最先进的域适应方法的较大边缘。

Deep learning models can achieve high accuracy when trained on large amounts of labeled data. However, real-world scenarios often involve several challenges: Training data may become available in installments, may originate from multiple different domains, and may not contain labels for training. Certain settings, for instance medical applications, often involve further restrictions that prohibit retention of previously seen data due to privacy regulations. In this work, to address such challenges, we study unsupervised segmentation in continual learning scenarios that involve domain shift. To that end, we introduce GarDA (Generative Appearance Replay for continual Domain Adaptation), a generative-replay based approach that can adapt a segmentation model sequentially to new domains with unlabeled data. In contrast to single-step unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), continual adaptation to a sequence of domains enables leveraging and consolidation of information from multiple domains. Unlike previous approaches in incremental UDA, our method does not require access to previously seen data, making it applicable in many practical scenarios. We evaluate GarDA on two datasets with different organs and modalities, where it substantially outperforms existing techniques.

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. Our benchmark and standardized evaluation procedures are freely available at: https://github.com/GraphDetec/MGTAB.

As one of the prevalent methods to achieve automation systems, Imitation Learning (IL) presents a promising performance in a wide range of domains. However, despite the considerable improvement in policy performance, the corresponding research on the explainability of IL models is still limited. Inspired by the recent approaches in explainable artificial intelligence methods, we proposed a model-agnostic explaining framework for IL models called R2RISE. R2RISE aims to explain the overall policy performance with respect to the frames in demonstrations. It iteratively retrains the black-box IL model from the randomized masked demonstrations and uses the conventional evaluation outcome environment returns as the coefficient to build an importance map. We also conducted experiments to investigate three major questions concerning frames' importance equality, the effectiveness of the importance map, and connections between importance maps from different IL models. The result shows that R2RISE successfully distinguishes important frames from the demonstrations.

Compressed videos often exhibit visually annoying artifacts, known as Perceivable Encoding Artifacts (PEAs), which dramatically degrade video visual quality. Subjective and objective measures capable of identifying and quantifying various types of PEAs are critical in improving visual quality. In this paper, we investigate the influence of four spatial PEAs (i.e. blurring, blocking, bleeding, and ringing) and two temporal PEAs (i.e. flickering and floating) on video quality. For spatial artifacts, we propose a visual saliency model with a low computational cost and higher consistency with human visual perception. In terms of temporal artifacts, self-attention based TimeSFormer is improved to detect temporal artifacts. Based on the six types of PEAs, a quality metric called Saliency-Aware Spatio-Temporal Artifacts Measurement (SSTAM) is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art metrics. We believe that SSTAM will be beneficial for optimizing video coding techniques.

We propose a distributionally robust return-risk model for Markov decision processes (MDPs) under risk and reward ambiguity. The proposed model optimizes the weighted average of mean and percentile performances, and it covers the distributionally robust MDPs and the distributionally robust chance-constrained MDPs (both under reward ambiguity) as special cases. By considering that the unknown reward distribution lies in a Wasserstein ambiguity set, we derive the tractable reformulation for our model. In particular, we show that that the return-risk model can also account for risk from uncertain transition kernel when one only seeks deterministic policies, and that a distributionally robust MDP under the percentile criterion can be reformulated as its nominal counterpart at an adjusted risk level. A scalable first-order algorithm is designed to solve large-scale problems, and we demonstrate the advantages of our proposed model and algorithm through numerical experiments.

Witnessing the impressive achievements of pre-training techniques on large-scale data in the field of computer vision and natural language processing, we wonder whether this idea could be adapted in a grab-and-go spirit, and mitigate the sample inefficiency problem for visuomotor driving. Given the highly dynamic and variant nature of the input, the visuomotor driving task inherently lacks view and translation invariance, and the visual input contains massive irrelevant information for decision making, resulting in predominant pre-training approaches from general vision less suitable for the autonomous driving task. To this end, we propose PPGeo (Policy Pre-training via Geometric modeling), an intuitive and straightforward fully self-supervised framework curated for the policy pretraining in visuomotor driving. We aim at learning policy representations as a powerful abstraction by modeling 3D geometric scenes on large-scale unlabeled and uncalibrated YouTube driving videos. The proposed PPGeo is performed in two stages to support effective self-supervised training. In the first stage, the geometric modeling framework generates pose and depth predictions simultaneously, with two consecutive frames as input. In the second stage, the visual encoder learns driving policy representation by predicting the future ego-motion and optimizing with the photometric error based on current visual observation only. As such, the pre-trained visual encoder is equipped with rich driving policy related representations and thereby competent for multiple visuomotor driving tasks. Extensive experiments covering a wide span of challenging scenarios have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed approach, where improvements range from 2% to even over 100% with very limited data.
