Prompt learning is one of the most effective and trending ways to adapt powerful vision-language foundation models like CLIP to downstream datasets by tuning learnable prompt vectors with very few samples. However, although prompt learning achieves excellent performance over in-domain data, it still faces the major challenge of generalizing to unseen classes and domains. Some existing prompt learning methods tackle this issue by adaptively generating different prompts for different tokens or domains but neglecting the ability of learned prompts to generalize to unseen domains. In this paper, we propose a novel prompt learning paradigm that directly generates domain invariant prompt generalizable to unseen domains, called MetaPrompt. Specifically, a dual-modality prompt tuning network is proposed to generate prompts for inputs from both image and text modalities. More importantly, we propose a meta-learning-based prompt tuning algorithm that explicitly constrains the prompt tuned on a specific domain or class also to achieve good performance on another domain or class. Extensive experiments on 11 datasets for base-to-new generalization and four datasets for domain generalization demonstrate that our method consistently and significantly outperforms existing methods.

带有嘈杂标签的训练深神经网络（DNN）实际上是具有挑战性的，因为不准确的标签严重降低了DNN的概括能力。以前的努力倾向于通过识别带有粗糙的小损失标准来减轻嘈杂标签的干扰的嘈杂数据来处理统一的denoising流中的零件或完整数据，而忽略了嘈杂样本的困难是不同的，因此是刚性和统一的。数据选择管道无法很好地解决此问题。在本文中，我们首先提出了一种称为CREMA的粗到精细的稳健学习方法，以分裂和串扰的方式处理嘈杂的数据。在粗糙水平中，干净和嘈杂的集合首先从统计意义上就可信度分开。由于实际上不可能正确对所有嘈杂样本进行分类，因此我们通过对每个样本的可信度进行建模来进一步处理它们。具体而言，对于清洁集，我们故意设计了一种基于内存的调制方案，以动态调整每个样本在训练过程中的历史可信度顺序方面的贡献，从而减轻了错误地分组为清洁集中的嘈杂样本的效果。同时，对于分类为嘈杂集的样品，提出了选择性标签更新策略，以纠正嘈杂的标签，同时减轻校正错误的问题。广泛的实验是基于不同方式的基准，包括图像分类（CIFAR，Clothing1M等）和文本识别（IMDB），具有合成或自然语义噪声，表明CREMA的优势和普遍性。

我们研究如何代表具有隐式神经表示（INRS）的视频。经典INRS方法通常利用MLP将输入坐标映射到输出像素。尽管最近的一些作品试图直接使用CNN重建整个图像。但是，我们认为，以上像素和图像策略都不利于视频数据。取而代之的是，我们提出了一个贴片解决方案PS-NERV，该解决方案将视频表示为贴片的函数和相应的补丁坐标。它自然继承了图像方法的优势，并以快速解码速度实现出色的重建性能。整个方法包括常规模块，例如位置嵌入，MLP和CNN，同时还引入了ADAIN以增强中间特征。这些简单而基本的更改可以帮助网络轻松拟合高频细节。广泛的实验证明了其在几个与视频有关的任务中的有效性，例如视频压缩和视频介绍。

How to improve discriminative feature learning is central in classification. Existing works address this problem by explicitly increasing inter-class separability and intra-class similarity, whether by constructing positive and negative pairs for contrastive learning or posing tighter class separating margins. These methods do not exploit the similarity between different classes as they adhere to i.i.d. assumption in data. In this paper, we embrace the real-world data distribution setting that some classes share semantic overlaps due to their similar appearances or concepts. Regarding this hypothesis, we propose a novel regularization to improve discriminative learning. We first calibrate the estimated highest likelihood of one sample based on its semantically neighboring classes, then encourage the overall likelihood predictions to be deterministic by imposing an adaptive exponential penalty. As the gradient of the proposed method is roughly proportional to the uncertainty of the predicted likelihoods, we name it adaptive discriminative regularization (ADR), trained along with a standard cross entropy loss in classification. Extensive experiments demonstrate that it can yield consistent and non-trivial performance improvements in a variety of visual classification tasks (over 10 benchmarks). Furthermore, we find it is robust to long-tailed and noisy label data distribution. Its flexible design enables its compatibility with mainstream classification architectures and losses.

Zigzag flattening (ZF) is commonly utilized as a default option to get the image patches ordering in deep models, e.g. vision transformers (ViTs). Notably, when decomposing multi-scale images, ZF could not maintain the invariance of feature point positions.To this end, we investigate the Hilbert flattening (HF) as an alternative for sequence ordering in vision tasks. HF has proven to be superior to other flatten approaches in maintaining spatial locality, when performing multi-scale transformations of dimensional space. In applications, we design a position encoding method based on HF, beating absolute position encoding non-trivially in Transformer architecture. It also can be used to feature down-sampling and feature/image interpolation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that it can yield consistent performance boosts for several popular architectures and applications. The code will be released upon acceptance.

最近，人重新识别（REID）的隐私问题引起了越来越多的关注，并保留了REID方法使用的行人图像的隐私是必不可少的。去识别（DEID）方法通过删除与REID数据相关的身份来减轻隐私问题。但是，大多数现有的DEID方法倾向于删除所有与个人身份相关的信息，并损害REID任务上的识别数据的可用性。在本文中，我们旨在开发一种可以在REID人士的隐私保护和数据可用性之间实现良好权衡的技术。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一种新颖的去识别方法，该方法是针对人雷德（Reid）明确设计的，命名人识别转移（PIS）。 PI在保留图像对之间的身份关系的同时，消除了行人图像中的绝对身份。通过利用变异自动编码器的插值属性，PI将每个行人图像从当前身份转移到具有新身份的另一个身份，从而导致图像仍然保留相对身份。实验结果表明，与现有的去识别方法相比，我们的方法在隐私保护和模型性能之间取决于更好的权衡，并且可以防御人类和模型攻击以确保数据隐私。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

Knowledge graphs (KG) have served as the key component of various natural language processing applications. Commonsense knowledge graphs (CKG) are a special type of KG, where entities and relations are composed of free-form text. However, previous works in KG completion and CKG completion suffer from long-tail relations and newly-added relations which do not have many know triples for training. In light of this, few-shot KG completion (FKGC), which requires the strengths of graph representation learning and few-shot learning, has been proposed to challenge the problem of limited annotated data. In this paper, we comprehensively survey previous attempts on such tasks in the form of a series of methods and applications. Specifically, we first introduce FKGC challenges, commonly used KGs, and CKGs. Then we systematically categorize and summarize existing works in terms of the type of KGs and the methods. Finally, we present applications of FKGC models on prediction tasks in different areas and share our thoughts on future research directions of FKGC.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown satisfying performance on various graph learning tasks. To achieve better fitting capability, most GNNs are with a large number of parameters, which makes these GNNs computationally expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy them onto edge devices with scarce computational resources, e.g., mobile phones and wearable smart devices. Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a common solution to compress GNNs, where a light-weighted model (i.e., the student model) is encouraged to mimic the behavior of a computationally expensive GNN (i.e., the teacher GNN model). Nevertheless, most existing GNN-based KD methods lack fairness consideration. As a consequence, the student model usually inherits and even exaggerates the bias from the teacher GNN. To handle such a problem, we take initial steps towards fair knowledge distillation for GNNs. Specifically, we first formulate a novel problem of fair knowledge distillation for GNN-based teacher-student frameworks. Then we propose a principled framework named RELIANT to mitigate the bias exhibited by the student model. Notably, the design of RELIANT is decoupled from any specific teacher and student model structures, and thus can be easily adapted to various GNN-based KD frameworks. We perform extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets, which corroborates that RELIANT achieves less biased GNN knowledge distillation while maintaining high prediction utility.
