The success of deep learning heavily relies on large-scale data with comprehensive labels, which is more expensive and time-consuming to fetch in 3D compared to 2D images or natural languages. This promotes the potential of utilizing models pretrained with data more than 3D as teachers for cross-modal knowledge transferring. In this paper, we revisit masked modeling in a unified fashion of knowledge distillation, and we show that foundational Transformers pretrained with 2D images or natural languages can help self-supervised 3D representation learning through training Autoencoders as Cross-Modal Teachers (ACT). The pretrained Transformers are transferred as cross-modal 3D teachers using discrete variational autoencoding self-supervision, during which the Transformers are frozen with prompt tuning for better knowledge inheritance. The latent features encoded by the 3D teachers are used as the target of masked point modeling, wherein the dark knowledge is distilled to the 3D Transformer students as foundational geometry understanding. Our ACT pretrained 3D learner achieves state-of-the-art generalization capacity across various downstream benchmarks, e.g., 88.21% overall accuracy on ScanObjectNN. Codes will be released at https://github.com/RunpeiDong/ACT.

We propose eXtensible Prompt (X-Prompt) for prompting a large language model (LLM) beyond natural language (NL). X-Prompt instructs an LLM with not only NL but also an extensible vocabulary of imaginary words that are introduced to help represent what NL words hardly describe, allowing a prompt to be more descriptive. Like NL prompts, X-Prompt is out-of-distribution (OOD) robust, for which we propose context-guided learning with prompt augmentation to learn its imaginary words for general usability, enabling them to use in different prompt contexts for fine-grain specifications. The promising results of X-Prompt demonstrate its potential of approaching advanced interaction between humans and LLMs to bridge their communication gap.

遥控传感器图像对象检测是地球观察的重要技术，可用于各种任务，例如森林火灾监测和海洋监测。尽管有很大的发展，但图像对象检测技术尽管有很大的发展，但由于小对象的像素有限，因此仍在努力处理遥控传感器图像和小规模对象。许多现有的研究表明，促进小物体检测的有效方法是引入空间环境。同时，最近对图像分类的研究表明，光谱卷积操作比空间域更有效地感知频域中的长期空间依赖性。受到这一观察的启发，我们提出了用于遥感对象检测的频率感知功能金字塔框架（FFPF），该框架由新型的频率感知重新NET（F-RESNET）和双侧光谱感知特征特征网络（BS-FPN（BS-FPN）组成（BS-FPN）（BS-FPN） ）。具体而言，提出了F-Resnet通过将频域卷积插入主链的每个阶段，从而提取了小物体的更丰富特征来感知光谱上下文信息。据我们所知，这是第一项将频域卷积引入遥感对象检测任务的工作。此外，BSFPN旨在使用双边采样策略和跳过连接，以更好地对象在不同尺度上的对象特征的关联进行建模，以从F-Resnet中释放光谱上下文信息的潜力。进行了广泛的实验，以在光学遥感图像数据集（DIOR和DOTA）中进行对象检测。实验结果证明了我们方法的出色性能。它可以达到平均准确性（地图），没有任何技巧。

代码生成旨在从自然语言描述中自动生成代码段。通常，主流代码生成方法依赖大量的配对培训数据，包括自然语言描述和代码。但是，在某些特定领域的情况下，很难为代码生成建立如此大的配对语料库，因为没有直接可用的配对数据，并且需要大量精力来手动编写代码说明来构建高质量的培训数据集。由于培训数据有限，生成模型不能经过良好的训练，并且可能过于拟合，从而使该模型对现实世界的使用不满意。为此，在本文中，我们提出了一种任务增强方法，该方法通过扩展原始的Tranx模型来支持suptoken级代码生成，将域知识通过辅助任务和亚键入tranx模型纳入代码生成模型。为了验证我们提出的方法，我们收集了一个真实的代码生成数据集并在其上进行实验。我们的实验结果表明，亚句级Tranx模型在我们的数据集中优于原始Tranx模型和变压器模型，并且在我们的任务增强方法的帮助下，Subtoken-Tranx的确切匹配精度可显着提高12.75 \％。多个代码类别的模型性能满足了工业系统应用程序的要求。我们提出的方法已由阿里巴巴的\ emph {bizcook}平台采用。据我们所知，这是在工业开发环境中采用的第一个领域代码生成系统。

代码生成的重点是将自然语言（NL）话语自动转换为代码段。序列对树（Seq2Tree）方法，例如Tranx，是为代码生成的，并保证了生成的代码的编译性，该代码的编译性会生成随后的抽象语法树（AST）节点，该节点依赖于AST节点的前提预测。现有的SEQ2TREE方法倾向于同时对待前期预测和后续预测。但是，在AST约束下，SEQ2TREE模型很难基于不正确的先决预测产生正确的后续预测。因此，与后续预测相比，先行预测应该受到更多的关注。为此，在本文中，我们提出了一种有效的方法，称为aptranx（先行优先级Tranx），基于Tranx。 APTRANX包含了先行优先级（AP）损失，该损失通过利用生成的AST节点的位置信息来帮助模型对先行预测的重要性。凭借更好的先行预测和随后的预测，Aptranx显着提高了性能。我们在几个基准数据集上进行了广泛的实验，实验结果证明了我们所提出的方法与最新方法相比的优势和普遍性。

自动驾驶在过去二十年中吸引了重要的研究兴趣，因为它提供了许多潜在的好处，包括释放驾驶和减轻交通拥堵的司机等。尽管进展有前途，但车道变化仍然是自治车辆（AV）的巨大挑战，特别是在混合和动态的交通方案中。最近，强化学习（RL）是一种强大的数据驱动控制方法，已被广泛探索了在令人鼓舞的效果中的通道中的车道改变决策。然而，这些研究的大多数研究专注于单车展，并且在多个AVS与人类驱动车辆（HDV）共存的情况下，道路变化已经受到稀缺的关注。在本文中，我们在混合交通公路环境中制定了多个AVS的车道改变决策，作为多功能增强学习（Marl）问题，其中每个AV基于相邻AV的动作使车道变化的决定和HDV。具体地，使用新颖的本地奖励设计和参数共享方案开发了一种多代理优势演员批评网络（MA2C）。特别是，提出了一种多目标奖励功能来纳入燃油效率，驾驶舒适度和自主驾驶的安全性。综合实验结果，在三种不同的交通密度和各级人类司机侵略性下进行，表明我们所提出的Marl框架在效率，安全和驾驶员舒适方面始终如一地优于几个最先进的基准。

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.

Despite significant progress in object categorization, in recent years, a number of important challenges remain; mainly, the ability to learn from limited labeled data and to recognize object classes within large, potentially open, set of labels. Zero-shot learning is one way of addressing these challenges, but it has only been shown to work with limited sized class vocabularies and typically requires separation between supervised and unsupervised classes, allowing former to inform the latter but not vice versa. We propose the notion of vocabulary-informed learning to alleviate the above mentioned challenges and address problems of supervised, zero-shot, generalized zero-shot and open set recognition using a unified framework. Specifically, we propose a weighted maximum margin framework for semantic manifold-based recognition that incorporates distance constraints from (both supervised and unsupervised) vocabulary atoms. Distance constraints ensure that labeled samples are projected closer to their correct prototypes, in the embedding space, than to others. We illustrate that resulting model shows improvements in supervised, zero-shot, generalized zero-shot, and large open set recognition, with up to 310K class vocabulary on Animal with Attributes and ImageNet datasets.

As natural language processing (NLP) for gender bias becomes a significant interdisciplinary topic, the prevalent data-driven techniques such as large-scale language models suffer from data inadequacy and biased corpus, especially for languages with insufficient resources such as Chinese. To this end, we propose a Chinese cOrpus foR Gender bIas Probing and Mitigation CORGI-PM, which contains 32.9k sentences with high-quality labels derived by following an annotation scheme specifically developed for gender bias in the Chinese context. Moreover, we address three challenges for automatic textual gender bias mitigation, which requires the models to detect, classify, and mitigate textual gender bias. We also conduct experiments with state-of-the-art language models to provide baselines. To our best knowledge, CORGI-PM is the first sentence-level Chinese corpus for gender bias probing and mitigation.

We present Second Thought, a new learning paradigm that enables language models (LMs) to re-align with human values. By modeling the chain-of-edits between value-unaligned and value-aligned text, with LM fine-tuning and additional refinement through reinforcement learning, Second Thought not only achieves superior performance in three value alignment benchmark datasets but also shows strong human-value transfer learning ability in few-shot scenarios. The generated editing steps also offer better interpretability and ease for interactive error correction. Extensive human evaluations further confirm its effectiveness.
