实时投标（RTB）是现代在线广告系统中的重要机制。广告商在RTB中采用投标策略来优化其广告效果，但根据各种财务要求，其中广泛采用的是投资回报（ROI）约束。在顺序招标过程中，ROI在非单调的情况下变化，通常在约束满意度和客观优化之间具有透视作用。通常在静态或轻微变化的市场中建立了约束 - 目标权衡解决方案。但是，由于无法适应不同的动态和部分可观察性，这些方法在非平稳广告市场中大大失败。在这项工作中，我们专门研究非机构市场的ROI限制招标。基于部分可观察到的马尔可夫决策过程，我们提出了第一个容纳非单调约束的硬屏障解决方案。我们的方法利用了无参数指标的奖励功能，并开发了课程指导的贝叶斯强化学习（CBRL）框架，以适应在非平稳广告市场中的约束目标权衡。在具有两个问题设置的大规模工业数据集上进行的广泛实验表明，CBRL在分布和分发数据制度方面都很好地概括了，并且具有出色的稳定性。

虽然现代自动语音识别（ASR）系统可以实现高性能，但它们可能会产生削弱读者体验并对下游任务造成伤害的错误。为了提高ASR假设的准确性和可靠性，我们提出了一种用于语音识别器的跨模型后处理系统，其中1）熔断来自不同方式的声学特征和文本特征，2）接合置信度估计器和多个误差校正器任务学习时尚和3）统一纠错和话语抑制模块。与单模或单任务模型相比，我们提出的系统被证明更有效和高效。实验结果表明，我们的后处理系统导致对工业ASR系统的单扬声器和多扬声器语音相对降低的10％相对减少，每个令牌约为1.7ms延迟确保在流语音识别中可以接受后处理引入的额外延迟。

最近开发的基于粒子的变分推理（PARVI）方法通过迭代更新粒子的位置驱动一组\ EMPH {固定权重}粒子的经验分布。然而，固定的重量限制大大限制了经验分布的近似能力，特别是当粒子数有限时。在本文中，我们提出根据Fisher-Rao反应流动动态调整粒子的重量。我们根据新颖的连续复合流动开发了一种通用的动态重量粒子变分推理（DPVI）框架，其同时演化颗粒的位置和重量。我们表明，我们的复合流的平均场限制实际上是某些不相似函数$ \ mathcal {f} $的Wasserstein-fisher-Rao梯度流量，这导致$ \ mathcal {f} $的速度更快地减少Wassersein梯度流动现有的固定重量帕维。通过在我们的总框架中使用不同的有限粒子近似，我们推出了几种高效的DPVI算法。经验结果展示了我们的固定重量对应物的衍生DPVI算法的优越性。

在广泛的应用程序中，从观察到的数据中识别隐藏的动态是一项重大且具有挑战性的任务。最近，线性多步法方法（LMM）和深度学习的结合已成功地用于发现动力学，而对这种方法进行完整的收敛分析仍在开发中。在这项工作中，我们考虑了基于网络的深度LMM，以发现动态。我们使用深网的近似属性提出了这些方法的错误估计。它指出，对于某些LMMS的家庭，$ \ ell^2 $网格错误由$ O（H^p）$的总和和网络近似错误，其中$ h $是时间步长和$P $是本地截断错误顺序。提供了几个物理相关示例的数值结果，以证明我们的理论。

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.

Inferring missing links or detecting spurious ones based on observed graphs, known as link prediction, is a long-standing challenge in graph data analysis. With the recent advances in deep learning, graph neural networks have been used for link prediction and have achieved state-of-the-art performance. Nevertheless, existing methods developed for this purpose are typically discriminative, computing features of local subgraphs around two neighboring nodes and predicting potential links between them from the perspective of subgraph classification. In this formalism, the selection of enclosing subgraphs and heuristic structural features for subgraph classification significantly affects the performance of the methods. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a novel and radically different link prediction algorithm based on the network reconstruction theory, called GraphLP. Instead of sampling positive and negative links and heuristically computing the features of their enclosing subgraphs, GraphLP utilizes the feature learning ability of deep-learning models to automatically extract the structural patterns of graphs for link prediction under the assumption that real-world graphs are not locally isolated. Moreover, GraphLP explores high-order connectivity patterns to utilize the hierarchical organizational structures of graphs for link prediction. Our experimental results on all common benchmark datasets from different applications demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. Unlike the discriminative neural network models used for link prediction, GraphLP is generative, which provides a new paradigm for neural-network-based link prediction.

Despite excellent performance in image generation, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are notorious for its requirements of enormous storage and intensive computation. As an awesome ''performance maker'', knowledge distillation is demonstrated to be particularly efficacious in exploring low-priced GANs. In this paper, we investigate the irreplaceability of teacher discriminator and present an inventive discriminator-cooperated distillation, abbreviated as DCD, towards refining better feature maps from the generator. In contrast to conventional pixel-to-pixel match methods in feature map distillation, our DCD utilizes teacher discriminator as a transformation to drive intermediate results of the student generator to be perceptually close to corresponding outputs of the teacher generator. Furthermore, in order to mitigate mode collapse in GAN compression, we construct a collaborative adversarial training paradigm where the teacher discriminator is from scratch established to co-train with student generator in company with our DCD. Our DCD shows superior results compared with existing GAN compression methods. For instance, after reducing over 40x MACs and 80x parameters of CycleGAN, we well decrease FID metric from 61.53 to 48.24 while the current SoTA method merely has 51.92.

Gradient-based explanation is the cornerstone of explainable deep networks, but it has been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. However, existing works measure the explanation robustness based on $\ell_p$-norm, which can be counter-intuitive to humans, who only pay attention to the top few salient features. We propose explanation ranking thickness as a more suitable explanation robustness metric. We then present a new practical adversarial attacking goal for manipulating explanation rankings. To mitigate the ranking-based attacks while maintaining computational feasibility, we derive surrogate bounds of the thickness that involve expensive sampling and integration. We use a multi-objective approach to analyze the convergence of a gradient-based attack to confirm that the explanation robustness can be measured by the thickness metric. We conduct experiments on various network architectures and diverse datasets to prove the superiority of the proposed methods, while the widely accepted Hessian-based curvature smoothing approaches are not as robust as our method.

The past two decades have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of multi-view representation learning due to it extracting useful information from diverse domains to facilitate the development of multi-view applications. However, the community faces two challenges: i) how to learn robust representations from a large amount of unlabeled data to against noise or incomplete views setting, and ii) how to balance view consistency and complementary for various downstream tasks. To this end, we utilize a deep fusion network to fuse view-specific representations into the view-common representation, extracting high-level semantics for obtaining robust representation. In addition, we employ a clustering task to guide the fusion network to prevent it from leading to trivial solutions. For balancing consistency and complementary, then, we design an asymmetrical contrastive strategy that aligns the view-common representation and each view-specific representation. These modules are incorporated into a unified method known as CLustering-guided cOntrastiVE fusioN (CLOVEN). We quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the proposed method on five datasets, demonstrating that CLOVEN outperforms 11 competitive multi-view learning methods in clustering and classification. In the incomplete view scenario, our proposed method resists noise interference better than those of our competitors. Furthermore, the visualization analysis shows that CLOVEN can preserve the intrinsic structure of view-specific representation while also improving the compactness of view-commom representation. Our source code will be available soon at https://github.com/guanzhou-ke/cloven.

Multi-uncertainties from power sources and loads have brought significant challenges to the stable demand supply of various resources at islands. To address these challenges, a comprehensive scheduling framework is proposed by introducing a model-free deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach based on modeling an island integrated energy system (IES). In response to the shortage of freshwater on islands, in addition to the introduction of seawater desalination systems, a transmission structure of "hydrothermal simultaneous transmission" (HST) is proposed. The essence of the IES scheduling problem is the optimal combination of each unit's output, which is a typical timing control problem and conforms to the Markov decision-making solution framework of deep reinforcement learning. Deep reinforcement learning adapts to various changes and timely adjusts strategies through the interaction of agents and the environment, avoiding complicated modeling and prediction of multi-uncertainties. The simulation results show that the proposed scheduling framework properly handles multi-uncertainties from power sources and loads, achieves a stable demand supply for various resources, and has better performance than other real-time scheduling methods, especially in terms of computational efficiency. In addition, the HST model constitutes an active exploration to improve the utilization efficiency of island freshwater.
