A temporal knowledge graph (TKG) stores the events derived from the data involving time. Predicting events is extremely challenging due to the time-sensitive property of events. Besides, the previous TKG completion (TKGC) approaches cannot represent both the timeliness and the causality properties of events, simultaneously. To address these challenges, we propose a Logic and Commonsense-Guided Embedding model (LCGE) to jointly learn the time-sensitive representation involving timeliness and causality of events, together with the time-independent representation of events from the perspective of commonsense. Specifically, we design a temporal rule learning algorithm to construct a rule-guided predicate embedding regularization strategy for learning the causality among events. Furthermore, we could accurately evaluate the plausibility of events via auxiliary commonsense knowledge. The experimental results of TKGC task illustrate the significant performance improvements of our model compared with the existing approaches. More interestingly, our model is able to provide the explainability of the predicted results in the view of causal inference.

知识图（kg）推论是解决KGs自然不完整性的重要技术。现有的kg推断方法可以分为基于规则的基于和基于kg嵌入的模型。然而，这些方法同时不能平衡准确性，泛化，解释性和效率。此外，这些模型总是依赖于纯粹的三元族并忽略额外信息。因此，KG嵌入（KGE）和规则学习kg推理因稀疏实体和有限的语义而接近面临的面临挑战。我们提出了一种新颖且有效的闭环kg推理框架，与基于这些观察结果类似地运行作为发动机。 EngineKgi将KGE和RULE学习在闭环模式中互相补充，同时利用路径和概念中的语义。 KGE模块利用路径来增强实体之间的语义关联，并介绍解释性规则。通过利用路径作为初始候选规则，在规则学习模块中提出了一种新颖的规则修剪机制，并使用KG Embeddings以及提取更高质量规则的概念。四个真实数据集的实验结果表明，我们的模型在链路预测任务上占外的其他基线，展示了我们模型在KG推理中以闭环机制的关节逻辑和数据驱动方式的效力和优越性。

Pure transformers have shown great potential for vision tasks recently. However, their accuracy in small or medium datasets is not satisfactory. Although some existing methods introduce a CNN as a teacher to guide the training process by distillation, the gap between teacher and student networks would lead to sub-optimal performance. In this work, we propose a new One-shot Vision transformer search framework with Online distillation, namely OVO. OVO samples sub-nets for both teacher and student networks for better distillation results. Benefiting from the online distillation, thousands of subnets in the supernet are well-trained without extra finetuning or retraining. In experiments, OVO-Ti achieves 73.32% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet and 75.2% on CIFAR-100, respectively.

We propose an extrinsic Bayesian optimization (eBO) framework for general optimization problems on manifolds. Bayesian optimization algorithms build a surrogate of the objective function by employing Gaussian processes and quantify the uncertainty in that surrogate by deriving an acquisition function. This acquisition function represents the probability of improvement based on the kernel of the Gaussian process, which guides the search in the optimization process. The critical challenge for designing Bayesian optimization algorithms on manifolds lies in the difficulty of constructing valid covariance kernels for Gaussian processes on general manifolds. Our approach is to employ extrinsic Gaussian processes by first embedding the manifold onto some higher dimensional Euclidean space via equivariant embeddings and then constructing a valid covariance kernel on the image manifold after the embedding. This leads to efficient and scalable algorithms for optimization over complex manifolds. Simulation study and real data analysis are carried out to demonstrate the utilities of our eBO framework by applying the eBO to various optimization problems over manifolds such as the sphere, the Grassmannian, and the manifold of positive definite matrices.

Optical flow, which computes the apparent motion from a pair of video frames, is a critical tool for scene motion estimation. Correlation volume is the central component of optical flow computational neural models. It estimates the pairwise matching costs between cross-frame features, and is then used to decode optical flow. However, traditional correlation volume is frequently noisy, outlier-prone, and sensitive to motion blur. We observe that, although the recent RAFT algorithm also adopts the traditional correlation volume, its additional context encoder provides semantically representative features to the flow decoder, implicitly compensating for the deficiency of the correlation volume. However, the benefits of this context encoder has been barely discussed or exploited. In this paper, we first investigate the functionality of RAFT's context encoder, then propose a new Context Guided Correlation Volume (CGCV) via gating and lifting schemes. CGCV can be universally integrated with RAFT-based flow computation methods for enhanced performance, especially effective in the presence of motion blur, de-focus blur and atmospheric effects. By incorporating the proposed CGCV with previous Global Motion Aggregation (GMA) method, at a minor cost of 0.5% extra parameters, the rank of GMA is lifted by 23 places on KITTI 2015 Leader Board, and 3 places on Sintel Leader Board. Moreover, at a similar model size, our correlation volume achieves competitive or superior performance to state of the art peer supervised models that employ Transformers or Graph Reasoning, as verified by extensive experiments.

Image harmonization aims to produce visually harmonious composite images by adjusting the foreground appearance to be compatible with the background. When the composite image has photographic foreground and painterly background, the task is called painterly image harmonization. There are only few works on this task, which are either time-consuming or weak in generating well-harmonized results. In this work, we propose a novel painterly harmonization network consisting of a dual-domain generator and a dual-domain discriminator, which harmonizes the composite image in both spatial domain and frequency domain. The dual-domain generator performs harmonization by using AdaIn modules in the spatial domain and our proposed ResFFT modules in the frequency domain. The dual-domain discriminator attempts to distinguish the inharmonious patches based on the spatial feature and frequency feature of each patch, which can enhance the ability of generator in an adversarial manner. Extensive experiments on the benchmark dataset show the effectiveness of our method. Our code and model are available at https://github.com/bcmi/PHDNet-Painterly-Image-Harmonization.

Automatic defect detection for 3D printing processes, which shares many characteristics with change detection problems, is a vital step for quality control of 3D printed products. However, there are some critical challenges in the current state of practice. First, existing methods for computer vision-based process monitoring typically work well only under specific camera viewpoints and lighting situations, requiring expensive pre-processing, alignment, and camera setups. Second, many defect detection techniques are specific to pre-defined defect patterns and/or print schematics. In this work, we approach the automatic defect detection problem differently using a novel Semi-Siamese deep learning model that directly compares a reference schematic of the desired print and a camera image of the achieved print. The model then solves an image segmentation problem, identifying the locations of defects with respect to the reference frame. Unlike most change detection problems, our model is specially developed to handle images coming from different domains and is robust against perturbations in the imaging setup such as camera angle and illumination. Defect localization predictions were made in 2.75 seconds per layer using a standard MacBookPro, which is comparable to the typical tens of seconds or less for printing a single layer on an inkjet-based 3D printer, while achieving an F1-score of more than 0.9.

As a neural network compression technique, post-training quantization (PTQ) transforms a pre-trained model into a quantized model using a lower-precision data type. However, the prediction accuracy will decrease because of the quantization noise, especially in extremely low-bit settings. How to determine the appropriate quantization parameters (e.g., scaling factors and rounding of weights) is the main problem facing now. Many existing methods determine the quantization parameters by minimizing the distance between features before and after quantization. Using this distance as the metric to optimize the quantization parameters only considers local information. We analyze the problem of minimizing local metrics and indicate that it would not result in optimal quantization parameters. Furthermore, the quantized model suffers from overfitting due to the small number of calibration samples in PTQ. In this paper, we propose PD-Quant to solve the problems. PD-Quant uses the information of differences between network prediction before and after quantization to determine the quantization parameters. To mitigate the overfitting problem, PD-Quant adjusts the distribution of activations in PTQ. Experiments show that PD-Quant leads to better quantization parameters and improves the prediction accuracy of quantized models, especially in low-bit settings. For example, PD-Quant pushes the accuracy of ResNet-18 up to 53.08% and RegNetX-600MF up to 40.92% in weight 2-bit activation 2-bit. The code will be released at https://github.com/hustvl/PD-Quant.

In the presence of noisy labels, designing robust loss functions is critical for securing the generalization performance of deep neural networks. Cross Entropy (CE) loss has been shown to be not robust to noisy labels due to its unboundedness. To alleviate this issue, existing works typically design specialized robust losses with the symmetric condition, which usually lead to the underfitting issue. In this paper, our key idea is to induce a loss bound at the logit level, thus universally enhancing the noise robustness of existing losses. Specifically, we propose logit clipping (LogitClip), which clamps the norm of the logit vector to ensure that it is upper bounded by a constant. In this manner, CE loss equipped with our LogitClip method is effectively bounded, mitigating the overfitting to examples with noisy labels. Moreover, we present theoretical analyses to certify the noise-tolerant ability of LogitClip. Extensive experiments show that LogitClip not only significantly improves the noise robustness of CE loss, but also broadly enhances the generalization performance of popular robust losses.

Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach to enable the future Internet of vehicles consisting of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) with powerful sensing, computing and communication capabilities. We consider a base station (BS) coordinating nearby ICVs to train a neural network in a collaborative yet distributed manner, in order to limit data traffic and privacy leakage. However, due to the mobility of vehicles, the connections between the BS and ICVs are short-lived, which affects the resource utilization of ICVs, and thus, the convergence speed of the training process. In this paper, we propose an accelerated FL-ICV framework, by optimizing the duration of each training round and the number of local iterations, for better convergence performance of FL. We propose a mobility-aware optimization algorithm called MOB-FL, which aims at maximizing the resource utilization of ICVs under short-lived wireless connections, so as to increase the convergence speed. Simulation results based on the beam selection and the trajectory prediction tasks verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
