时间序列异常检测已被认为对现实世界系统的可靠和有效运行至关重要。基于对异常特征的各种假设，已经开发了许多异常检测方法。但是，由于现实世界数据的复杂性质，时间序列中的不同异常通常具有支持不同异常假设的不同曲线。这使得很难找到一个可以始终如一的其他模型的异常检测器。在这项工作中，为了利用不同基本模型的好处，我们提出了一个基于增强学习的模型选择框架。具体而言，我们首先学习了不同异常检测模型的池，然后利用强化学习从这些基本模型中动态选择候选模型。关于现实世界数据的实验表明，就整体绩效而言，提出的策略确实可以超过所有基线模型。

交通信号控制对于有效使用运输基础设施是至关重要的。车辆交通的快速增长和交通模式的变化使交通信号控制越来越具有挑战性。基于加强学习（RL）的算法已经证明了它们在处理交通信号控制方面的潜力。然而，大多数现有解决方案需要大量的培训数据，这对于许多真实的情景来说是不可接受的。本文提出了一种用于交通信号控制的新型模型的元增强学习框架（型号）。在Modelight中，用于道路交叉路口模型的集合和基于优化的元学习方法，用于提高基于RL的流量光控制方法的数据效率。现实世界数据集的实验表明，制造智慧可以倾向于最先进的交通光控制算法，同时大大减少了与现实世界环境的所需交互的数量。

This work focuses on unsupervised representation learning in person re-identification (ReID). Recent self-supervised contrastive learning methods learn invariance by maximizing the representation similarity between two augmented views of a same image. However, traditional data augmentation may bring to the fore undesirable distortions on identity features, which is not always favorable in id-sensitive ReID tasks. In this paper, we propose to replace traditional data augmentation with a generative adversarial network (GAN) that is targeted to generate augmented views for contrastive learning. A 3D mesh guided person image generator is proposed to disentangle a person image into id-related and id-unrelated features. Deviating from previous GAN-based ReID methods that only work in id-unrelated space (pose and camera style), we conduct GAN-based augmentation on both id-unrelated and id-related features. We further propose specific contrastive losses to help our network learn invariance from id-unrelated and id-related augmentations. By jointly training the generative and the contrastive modules, our method achieves new state-of-the-art unsupervised person ReID performance on mainstream large-scale benchmarks.

Objective: Accurate visual classification of bladder tissue during Trans-Urethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) procedures is essential to improve early cancer diagnosis and treatment. During TURBT interventions, White Light Imaging (WLI) and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) techniques are used for lesion detection. Each imaging technique provides diverse visual information that allows clinicians to identify and classify cancerous lesions. Computer vision methods that use both imaging techniques could improve endoscopic diagnosis. We address the challenge of tissue classification when annotations are available only in one domain, in our case WLI, and the endoscopic images correspond to an unpaired dataset, i.e. there is no exact equivalent for every image in both NBI and WLI domains. Method: We propose a semi-surprised Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based method composed of three main components: a teacher network trained on the labeled WLI data; a cycle-consistency GAN to perform unpaired image-to-image translation, and a multi-input student network. To ensure the quality of the synthetic images generated by the proposed GAN we perform a detailed quantitative, and qualitative analysis with the help of specialists. Conclusion: The overall average classification accuracy, precision, and recall obtained with the proposed method for tissue classification are 0.90, 0.88, and 0.89 respectively, while the same metrics obtained in the unlabeled domain (NBI) are 0.92, 0.64, and 0.94 respectively. The quality of the generated images is reliable enough to deceive specialists. Significance: This study shows the potential of using semi-supervised GAN-based classification to improve bladder tissue classification when annotations are limited in multi-domain data.

Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) is a popular heuristic algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COP). It starts with an initial solution to the problem and iteratively improves it by searching a large neighborhood around the current best solution. LNS relies on heuristics to select neighborhoods to search in. In this paper, we focus on designing effective and efficient heuristics in LNS for integer linear programs (ILP) since a wide range of COPs can be represented as ILPs. Local Branching (LB) is a heuristic that selects the neighborhood that leads to the largest improvement over the current solution in each iteration of LNS. LB is often slow since it needs to solve an ILP of the same size as input. Our proposed heuristics, LB-RELAX and its variants, use the linear programming relaxation of LB to select neighborhoods. Empirically, LB-RELAX and its variants compute as effective neighborhoods as LB but run faster. They achieve state-of-the-art anytime performance on several ILP benchmarks.

Many datasets are biased, namely they contain easy-to-learn features that are highly correlated with the target class only in the dataset but not in the true underlying distribution of the data. For this reason, learning unbiased models from biased data has become a very relevant research topic in the last years. In this work, we tackle the problem of learning representations that are robust to biases. We first present a margin-based theoretical framework that allows us to clarify why recent contrastive losses (InfoNCE, SupCon, etc.) can fail when dealing with biased data. Based on that, we derive a novel formulation of the supervised contrastive loss (epsilon-SupInfoNCE), providing more accurate control of the minimal distance between positive and negative samples. Furthermore, thanks to our theoretical framework, we also propose FairKL, a new debiasing regularization loss, that works well even with extremely biased data. We validate the proposed losses on standard vision datasets including CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and ImageNet, and we assess the debiasing capability of FairKL with epsilon-SupInfoNCE, reaching state-of-the-art performance on a number of biased datasets, including real instances of biases in the wild.

在许多情况下，更简单的模型比更复杂的模型更可取，并且该模型复杂性的控制是机器学习中许多方法的目标，例如正则化，高参数调整和体系结构设计。在深度学习中，很难理解复杂性控制的潜在机制，因为许多传统措施并不适合深度神经网络。在这里，我们开发了几何复杂性的概念，该概念是使用离散的dirichlet能量计算的模型函数变异性的量度。使用理论论据和经验结果的结合，我们表明，许多常见的训练启发式方法，例如参数规范正规化，光谱规范正则化，平稳性正则化，隐式梯度正则化，噪声正则化和参数初始化的选择，都可以控制几何学复杂性，并提供一个统一的框架，以表征深度学习模型的行为。

模拟逼真的传感器是自主系统数据生成的挑战，通常涉及精心手工的传感器设计，场景属性和物理建模。为了减轻这一点，我们引入了一条管道，用于对逼真的激光雷达传感器进行数据驱动的模拟。我们提出了一个模型，该模型可以在RGB图像和相应的LIDAR功能（例如Raydrop或每点强度）之间直接从真实数据集中进行映射。我们表明，我们的模型可以学会编码逼真的效果，例如透明表面上的掉落点或反射材料上的高强度回报。当应用于现成的模拟器软件提供的天真播放点云时，我们的模型通过根据场景的外观预测强度和删除点来增强数据，以匹配真实的激光雷达传感器。我们使用我们的技术来学习两个不同的LIDAR传感器的模型，并使用它们相应地改善模拟的LiDAR数据。通过车辆细分的示例任务，我们表明通过我们的技术增强模拟点云可以改善下游任务性能。
