Adversarial patch is an important form of real-world adversarial attack that brings serious risks to the robustness of deep neural networks. Previous methods generate adversarial patches by either optimizing their perturbation values while fixing the pasting position or manipulating the position while fixing the patch's content. This reveals that the positions and perturbations are both important to the adversarial attack. For that, in this paper, we propose a novel method to simultaneously optimize the position and perturbation for an adversarial patch, and thus obtain a high attack success rate in the black-box setting. Technically, we regard the patch's position, the pre-designed hyper-parameters to determine the patch's perturbations as the variables, and utilize the reinforcement learning framework to simultaneously solve for the optimal solution based on the rewards obtained from the target model with a small number of queries. Extensive experiments are conducted on the Face Recognition (FR) task, and results on four representative FR models show that our method can significantly improve the attack success rate and query efficiency. Besides, experiments on the commercial FR service and physical environments confirm its practical application value. We also extend our method to the traffic sign recognition task to verify its generalization ability.

In recent years, semi-supervised graph learning with data augmentation (DA) is currently the most commonly used and best-performing method to enhance model robustness in sparse scenarios with few labeled samples. Differing from homogeneous graph, DA in heterogeneous graph has greater challenges: heterogeneity of information requires DA strategies to effectively handle heterogeneous relations, which considers the information contribution of different types of neighbors and edges to the target nodes. Furthermore, over-squashing of information is caused by the negative curvature that formed by the non-uniformity distribution and strong clustering in complex graph. To address these challenges, this paper presents a novel method named Semi-Supervised Heterogeneous Graph Learning with Multi-level Data Augmentation (HG-MDA). For the problem of heterogeneity of information in DA, node and topology augmentation strategies are proposed for the characteristics of heterogeneous graph. And meta-relation-based attention is applied as one of the indexes for selecting augmented nodes and edges. For the problem of over-squashing of information, triangle based edge adding and removing are designed to alleviate the negative curvature and bring the gain of topology. Finally, the loss function consists of the cross-entropy loss for labeled data and the consistency regularization for unlabeled data. In order to effectively fuse the prediction results of various DA strategies, the sharpening is used. Existing experiments on public datasets, i.e., ACM, DBLP, OGB, and industry dataset MB show that HG-MDA outperforms current SOTA models. Additionly, HG-MDA is applied to user identification in internet finance scenarios, helping the business to add 30% key users, and increase loans and balances by 3.6%, 11.1%, and 9.8%.

激活函数是元素的数学函数，在深神经网络（DNN）中起着至关重要的作用。已经提出了许多新颖和复杂的激活功能来提高DNN的准确性，但在训练过程中还可以通过反向传播消耗大量记忆。在这项研究中，我们提出了嵌套的正向自动分化（正向AD），专门针对用于记忆效率的DNN训练的元素激活函数。我们在两个广泛使用的深度学习框架（Tensorflow和Pytorch）中部署了嵌套的AD，分别支持静态和动态计算图。我们的评估表明，在相同的记忆降低率下，嵌套的前AD嵌套将记忆足迹降低到1.97倍，比基线模型降低了20％。

基于DNN的视频对象检测（VOD）为自动驾驶和视频监视行业提供了重要的重要性和有希望的机会。但是，由于其实用性，可行性和强大的攻击效果，对抗贴片攻击在现场视觉任务中产生了巨大的关注。这项工作提出了Themis，这是一种软件/硬件系统，可防止对抗贴片，以实时稳健的视频对象检测。我们观察到，对抗斑块在具有非稳定预测的小区域中表现出极为局部的表面特征，因此提出了对抗区域检测算法，以消除对抗性效应。Themis还提出了一种系统的设计，以通过消除冗余计算和记忆运输来有效地支持该算法。实验结果表明，提出的方法可以有效地从可忽略的硬件开销中从对抗性攻击中恢复系统。

具有大尺度图像文本对的视觉预训练（VLP）在各个领域都表现出卓越的性能。但是，Internet上的图像文本对共存通常缺乏明确的对齐信息，这对于VLP来说是次优的。建议采用现成的对象检测器来利用其他图像标签信息。但是，对象检测器是耗时的，只能识别预定义的对象类别，从而限制了模型容量。受到观察的启发，即文本包含不完整的细粒图像信息，我们介绍了Ideas，该想法代表通过在线多标签识别VLP来增加文本多样性。想法表明，可以在VLP期间共同优化从文本中提取的图像标签的多标签学习。此外，想法可以在线识别有价值的图像标签，以提供更明确的文本监督。全面的实验表明，想法可以显着提高多个下游数据集上的性能，并具有较小的额外计算成本。

旨在用自然语言和谐地与人类交流的智能对话体系对于促进人工智能时代的人机互动的发展非常出色。有了逐渐复杂的人类计算机交互要求（例如，多模式输入，时间敏感性），传统的基于文本的对话系统很难满足对更加生动和方便的交互的需求。因此，视觉背景增强对话系统（VAD）有可能通过感知和理解多模式信息（即图像或视频中的视觉上下文，文本对话历史记录）与人类进行交流，已成为主要的研究范式。 VAD受益于视觉和文本上下文之间的一致性和互补性，具有产生引人入胜和背景感知响应的潜力。为了描述VAD的开发，我们首先表征VAD的概念和独特功能，然后介绍其通用系统体系结构以说明系统工作流程。随后，对一些研究挑战和代表性作品进行了详细研究，然后进行了权威基准摘要。我们通过提出一些开放问题和有前途的VAD研究趋势来结束本文，例如，在跨模式对话环境下，人机对话的认知机制以及知识增强的跨模式语义互动。

大脑网络将大脑区域之间的复杂连接性描述为图形结构，这为研究脑连接素提供了强大的手段。近年来，图形神经网络已成为使用结构化数据的普遍学习范式。但是，由于数据获取的成本相对较高，大多数大脑网络数据集的样本量受到限制，这阻碍了足够的培训中的深度学习模型。受元学习的启发，该论文以有限的培训示例快速学习新概念，研究了在跨数据库中分析脑连接组的数据有效培训策略。具体而言，我们建议在大型样本大小的数据集上进行元训练模型，并将知识转移到小数据集中。此外，我们还探索了两种面向脑网络的设计，包括Atlas转换和自适应任务重新启动。与其他训练前策略相比，我们的基于元学习的方法实现了更高和稳定的性能，这证明了我们提出的解决方案的有效性。该框架还能够以数据驱动的方式获得有关数据集和疾病之间相似之处的新见解。

Mapping the connectome of the human brain using structural or functional connectivity has become one of the most pervasive paradigms for neuroimaging analysis. Recently, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) motivated from geometric deep learning have attracted broad interest due to their established power for modeling complex networked data. Despite their superior performance in many fields, there has not yet been a systematic study of how to design effective GNNs for brain network analysis. To bridge this gap, we present BrainGB, a benchmark for brain network analysis with GNNs. BrainGB standardizes the process by (1) summarizing brain network construction pipelines for both functional and structural neuroimaging modalities and (2) modularizing the implementation of GNN designs. We conduct extensive experiments on datasets across cohorts and modalities and recommend a set of general recipes for effective GNN designs on brain networks. To support open and reproducible research on GNN-based brain network analysis, we host the BrainGB website at https://braingb.us with models, tutorials, examples, as well as an out-of-box Python package. We hope that this work will provide useful empirical evidence and offer insights for future research in this novel and promising direction.
