Recently, CLIP has been applied to pixel-level zero-shot learning tasks via a two-stage scheme. The general idea is to first generate class-agnostic region proposals and then feed the cropped proposal regions to CLIP to utilize its image-level zero-shot classification capability. While effective, such a scheme requires two image encoders, one for proposal generation and one for CLIP, leading to a complicated pipeline and high computational cost. In this work, we pursue a simpler-and-efficient one-stage solution that directly extends CLIP's zero-shot prediction capability from image to pixel level. Our investigation starts with a straightforward extension as our baseline that generates semantic masks by comparing the similarity between text and patch embeddings extracted from CLIP. However, such a paradigm could heavily overfit the seen classes and fail to generalize to unseen classes. To handle this issue, we propose three simple-but-effective designs and figure out that they can significantly retain the inherent zero-shot capacity of CLIP and improve pixel-level generalization ability. Incorporating those modifications leads to an efficient zero-shot semantic segmentation system called ZegCLIP. Through extensive experiments on three public benchmarks, ZegCLIP demonstrates superior performance, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin under both "inductive" and "transductive" zero-shot settings. In addition, compared with the two-stage method, our one-stage ZegCLIP achieves a speedup of about 5 times faster during inference. We release the code at https://github.com/ZiqinZhou66/ZegCLIP.git.

方面情感三胞胎提取（ASTE）旨在提取方面，意见及其情感关系作为情感三胞胎的跨度。现有的作品通常将跨度检测作为1D令牌标记问题制定，并使用令牌对的2D标记矩阵对情感识别进行建模。此外，通过利用诸如伯特（Bert）之类的审计语言编码器（PLES）的代表形式，它们可以实现更好的性能。但是，他们只是利用将功能提取器作为提取器来构建其模块，但从未深入了解特定知识所包含的内容。在本文中，我们争辩说，与其进一步设计模块以捕获ASTE的电感偏见，不如包含“足够”的“足够”功能，用于1D和2D标记：（1）令牌表示包含令牌本身的上下文含义，因此此级别，因此此级别功能带有必要的信息以进行1D标记。 （2）不同PLE层的注意力矩阵可以进一步捕获令牌对中存在的多层次语言知识，从而使2D标记受益。 （3）此外，对于简单的转换，这两个功能也可以很容易地转换为2D标记矩阵和1D标记序列。这将进一步提高标签结果。通过这样做，PLE可以是自然的标记框架并实现新的最新状态，通过广泛的实验和深入分析来验证。

从非结构化的3D点云学习密集点语义，虽然是一个逼真的问题，但在文献中探讨了逼真的问题。虽然现有的弱监督方法可以仅具有小数点的点级注释来有效地学习语义，但我们发现香草边界箱级注释也是大规模3D点云的语义分割信息。在本文中，我们介绍了一个神经结构，称为Box2Seg，以了解3D点云的点级语义，具有边界盒级监控。我们方法的关键是通过探索每个边界框内和外部的几何和拓扑结构来生成准确的伪标签。具体地，利用基于注意的自我训练（AST）技术和点类激活映射（PCAM）来估计伪标签。通过伪标签进行进一步培训并精制网络。在两个大型基准测试中的实验，包括S3DIS和Scannet，证明了该方法的竞争性能。特别是，所提出的网络可以培训，甚至是均匀的空缺边界箱级注释和子环级标签。

从一系列任务中学习一生对于人为一般情报的代理至关重要。这要求代理商不断学习和记住没有干扰的新知识。本文首先展示了使用神经网络的终身学习的基本问题，命名为Anterograde忘记，即保留和转移记忆可能会抑制新知识的学习。这归因于，由于它不断记住历史知识，因此神经网络的学习能力将减少，并且可能发生概念混淆的事实，因为它转移到当前任务的无关旧知识。这项工作提出了一个名为循环内存网络（CMN）的一般框架，以解决终身学习神经网络中的伪造遗忘。 CMN由两个单独的存储器网络组成，用于存储短期和长期存储器以避免容量收缩。传输单元被设计为连接这两个存储器网络，使得从长期存储器网络的知识转移到短期内存网络以减轻概念混淆，并且开发了存储器整合机制以将短期知识集成到其中知识累积的长期记忆网络。实验结果表明，CMN可以有效地解决了在几个与任务相关的，任务冲突，类增量和跨域基准测试中忘记的伪造遗忘。

未经监督的人重新识别（重新ID）由于其解决监督重新ID模型的可扩展性问题而吸引了越来越多的关注。大多数现有的无监督方法采用迭代聚类机制，网络基于由无监督群集生成的伪标签进行培训。但是，聚类错误是不可避免的。为了产生高质量的伪标签并减轻聚类错误的影响，我们提出了一种新的群集关系建模框架，用于无监督的人重新ID。具体地，在聚类之前，基于曲线图相关学习（GCL）模块探索未标记图像之间的关系，然后将其用于聚类以产生高质量的伪标签。本，GCL适自适应地挖掘样本之间的关系迷你批次以减少培训时异常聚类的影响。为了更有效地训练网络，我们进一步提出了一种选择性对比学习（SCL）方法，具有选择性存储器银行更新策略。广泛的实验表明，我们的方法比在Market1501，Dukemtmc-Reid和MSMT17数据集上的大多数最先进的无人监督方法显示出更好的结果。我们将发布模型再现的代码。

Face Anti-spoofing (FAS) is essential to secure face recognition systems from various physical attacks. However, recent research generally focuses on short-distance applications (i.e., phone unlocking) while lacking consideration of long-distance scenes (i.e., surveillance security checks). In order to promote relevant research and fill this gap in the community, we collect a large-scale Surveillance High-Fidelity Mask (SuHiFiMask) dataset captured under 40 surveillance scenes, which has 101 subjects from different age groups with 232 3D attacks (high-fidelity masks), 200 2D attacks (posters, portraits, and screens), and 2 adversarial attacks. In this scene, low image resolution and noise interference are new challenges faced in surveillance FAS. Together with the SuHiFiMask dataset, we propose a Contrastive Quality-Invariance Learning (CQIL) network to alleviate the performance degradation caused by image quality from three aspects: (1) An Image Quality Variable module (IQV) is introduced to recover image information associated with discrimination by combining the super-resolution network. (2) Using generated sample pairs to simulate quality variance distributions to help contrastive learning strategies obtain robust feature representation under quality variation. (3) A Separate Quality Network (SQN) is designed to learn discriminative features independent of image quality. Finally, a large number of experiments verify the quality of the SuHiFiMask dataset and the superiority of the proposed CQIL.

Embedding words in vector space is a fundamental first step in state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP). Typical NLP solutions employ pre-defined vector representations to improve generalization by co-locating similar words in vector space. For instance, Word2Vec is a self-supervised predictive model that captures the context of words using a neural network. Similarly, GLoVe is a popular unsupervised model incorporating corpus-wide word co-occurrence statistics. Such word embedding has significantly boosted important NLP tasks, including sentiment analysis, document classification, and machine translation. However, the embeddings are dense floating-point vectors, making them expensive to compute and difficult to interpret. In this paper, we instead propose to represent the semantics of words with a few defining words that are related using propositional logic. To produce such logical embeddings, we introduce a Tsetlin Machine-based autoencoder that learns logical clauses self-supervised. The clauses consist of contextual words like "black," "cup," and "hot" to define other words like "coffee," thus being human-understandable. We evaluate our embedding approach on several intrinsic and extrinsic benchmarks, outperforming GLoVe on six classification tasks. Furthermore, we investigate the interpretability of our embedding using the logical representations acquired during training. We also visualize word clusters in vector space, demonstrating how our logical embedding co-locate similar words.

The surrogate loss of variational autoencoders (VAEs) poses various challenges to their training, inducing the imbalance between task fitting and representation inference. To avert this, the existing strategies for VAEs focus on adjusting the tradeoff by introducing hyperparameters, deriving a tighter bound under some mild assumptions, or decomposing the loss components per certain neural settings. VAEs still suffer from uncertain tradeoff learning.We propose a novel evolutionary variational autoencoder (eVAE) building on the variational information bottleneck (VIB) theory and integrative evolutionary neural learning. eVAE integrates a variational genetic algorithm into VAE with variational evolutionary operators including variational mutation, crossover, and evolution. Its inner-outer-joint training mechanism synergistically and dynamically generates and updates the uncertain tradeoff learning in the evidence lower bound (ELBO) without additional constraints. Apart from learning a lossy compression and representation of data under the VIB assumption, eVAE presents an evolutionary paradigm to tune critical factors of VAEs and deep neural networks and addresses the premature convergence and random search problem by integrating evolutionary optimization into deep learning. Experiments show that eVAE addresses the KL-vanishing problem for text generation with low reconstruction loss, generates all disentangled factors with sharp images, and improves the image generation quality,respectively. eVAE achieves better reconstruction loss, disentanglement, and generation-inference balance than its competitors.

With the increasing ability of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) has become a new paradigm for natural language processing (NLP), where LLMs make predictions only based on contexts augmented with a few training examples. It has been a new trend exploring ICL to evaluate and extrapolate the ability of LLMs. In this paper, we aim to survey and summarize the progress, challenges, and future work in ICL. We first present a formal definition of ICL and clarify its correlation to related studies. Then, we organize and discuss advanced techniques of ICL, including training strategies, prompting strategies, and so on. Finally, we present the challenges of ICL and provide potential directions for further research. We hope our work can encourage more research on uncovering how ICL works and improving ICL in future work.
