Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is designed to remove echoes, reverberation, and unwanted added sounds from the microphone signal while maintaining the quality of the near-end speaker's speech. This paper proposes adaptive speech quality complex neural networks to focus on specific tasks for real-time acoustic echo cancellation. In specific, we propose a complex modularize neural network with different stages to focus on feature extraction, acoustic separation, and mask optimization receptively. Furthermore, we adopt the contrastive learning framework and novel speech quality aware loss functions to further improve the performance. The model is trained with 72 hours for pre-training and then 72 hours for fine-tuning. The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art performance.

图像质量评估的计算机视觉模型（IQA）预测了通用图像降解的主观效果，例如人工制品，模糊，不良的曝光或颜色。现有IQA数据集中面部图像的稀缺性（低于10 \％）限制了准确过滤低质量的面部图像或指导面部图像处理的CV模型所需的IQA的精度，例如超分辨率，图像增强和生成。在本文中，我们首先介绍了迄今为止最大的注释IQA数据库，其中包含20,000个人体面孔（比所有现有的面孔的额定数据集大），在高度多样化的情况，质量水平和失真水平和变形类型中。基于数据库，我们进一步提出了一种新颖的深度学习模型，该模型重新塑造了生成的先验特征，以预测主观的面部质量。通过利用训练有素的生成模型中编码的丰富统计数据，我们获得了图像的生成性先验信息，并将其作为潜在参考，以促进盲目的IQA任务。实验结果证明了拟议模型在面部IQA任务上的出色预测准确性。

使用变压器 - 卷积神经网络（CNN）的视觉显着性预测具有显着的高级计算模型，以实现显着性预测。但是，准确模拟人类皮层中视觉注意的机制仍然是一个学术挑战。将人类视力的属性集成到CNN体系结构的设计中，这是至关重要的，从而导致感知上更相关的显着性预测。由于CNN体系结构的固有归纳偏见，因此缺乏足够的长距离上下文编码能力。这阻碍了基于CNN的显着性模型，无法捕获模仿人类观看行为的属性。通过利用自我发项机制来编码远程信息，变形金刚在编码远程信息方面表现出了巨大潜力。在本文中，我们提出了一个新颖的显着性模型，该模型将变压器组件集成到CNNs以捕获远程上下文视觉信息。实验结果表明，变压器为显着性预测提供了附加的价值，从而增强了其在性能中的感知相关性。我们提出的使用变压器的显着性模型在公共基准和显着性预测模型的竞争上取得了卓越的成果。我们提出的显着模型TransAlnet的源代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/ljovo/transalnet

最近，通过计算各个特征和集群记忆之间的对比损失，群集对比度学习已被证明对人员Reid有效。但是，使用各个功能以势头更新群集内存的现有方法对嘈杂的样本不稳健，例如具有错误注释标签或伪标签的样本。与基于个人的更新机制不同，基于质心的更新机制应用每个群集的平均特征更新群集内存对少数噪声样本是强大的。因此，我们制定了一个名为双集群对比学习（DCC）的统一集群对比框架中的基于个人的更新和基于质心的更新机制，它维护了两种类型的存储体：个人和质心集群存储库。值得注意的是，基于各个功能更新各个集群内存。质心群集内存应用每个Cluter的平均特征以更新相应的群集内存。除了每个存储器的Vallina对比损耗之外，应用了一致性约束，以保证两个存储器输出的一致性。请注意，通过使用聚类方法生成的地面真理标签或伪标签，可以轻松地应用于无监督或监督人员REID。在监督人员REID和无人监督者REID下的两项基准的大量实验证明了拟议的DCC的优越。代码可用：https：//github.com/htyao89/dual-cluster-contrastive/

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.

Dataset distillation has emerged as a prominent technique to improve data efficiency when training machine learning models. It encapsulates the knowledge from a large dataset into a smaller synthetic dataset. A model trained on this smaller distilled dataset can attain comparable performance to a model trained on the original training dataset. However, the existing dataset distillation techniques mainly aim at achieving the best trade-off between resource usage efficiency and model utility. The security risks stemming from them have not been explored. This study performs the first backdoor attack against the models trained on the data distilled by dataset distillation models in the image domain. Concretely, we inject triggers into the synthetic data during the distillation procedure rather than during the model training stage, where all previous attacks are performed. We propose two types of backdoor attacks, namely NAIVEATTACK and DOORPING. NAIVEATTACK simply adds triggers to the raw data at the initial distillation phase, while DOORPING iteratively updates the triggers during the entire distillation procedure. We conduct extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, architectures, and dataset distillation techniques. Empirical evaluation shows that NAIVEATTACK achieves decent attack success rate (ASR) scores in some cases, while DOORPING reaches higher ASR scores (close to 1.0) in all cases. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive ablation study to analyze the factors that may affect the attack performance. Finally, we evaluate multiple defense mechanisms against our backdoor attacks and show that our attacks can practically circumvent these defense mechanisms.

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.

This paper focuses on designing efficient models with low parameters and FLOPs for dense predictions. Even though CNN-based lightweight methods have achieved stunning results after years of research, trading-off model accuracy and constrained resources still need further improvements. This work rethinks the essential unity of efficient Inverted Residual Block in MobileNetv2 and effective Transformer in ViT, inductively abstracting a general concept of Meta-Mobile Block, and we argue that the specific instantiation is very important to model performance though sharing the same framework. Motivated by this phenomenon, we deduce a simple yet efficient modern \textbf{I}nverted \textbf{R}esidual \textbf{M}obile \textbf{B}lock (iRMB) for mobile applications, which absorbs CNN-like efficiency to model short-distance dependency and Transformer-like dynamic modeling capability to learn long-distance interactions. Furthermore, we design a ResNet-like 4-phase \textbf{E}fficient \textbf{MO}del (EMO) based only on a series of iRMBs for dense applications. Massive experiments on ImageNet-1K, COCO2017, and ADE20K benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our EMO over state-of-the-art methods, \eg, our EMO-1M/2M/5M achieve 71.5, 75.1, and 78.4 Top-1 that surpass \textbf{SoTA} CNN-/Transformer-based models, while trading-off the model accuracy and efficiency well.

Benefiting from the intrinsic supervision information exploitation capability, contrastive learning has achieved promising performance in the field of deep graph clustering recently. However, we observe that two drawbacks of the positive and negative sample construction mechanisms limit the performance of existing algorithms from further improvement. 1) The quality of positive samples heavily depends on the carefully designed data augmentations, while inappropriate data augmentations would easily lead to the semantic drift and indiscriminative positive samples. 2) The constructed negative samples are not reliable for ignoring important clustering information. To solve these problems, we propose a Cluster-guided Contrastive deep Graph Clustering network (CCGC) by mining the intrinsic supervision information in the high-confidence clustering results. Specifically, instead of conducting complex node or edge perturbation, we construct two views of the graph by designing special Siamese encoders whose weights are not shared between the sibling sub-networks. Then, guided by the high-confidence clustering information, we carefully select and construct the positive samples from the same high-confidence cluster in two views. Moreover, to construct semantic meaningful negative sample pairs, we regard the centers of different high-confidence clusters as negative samples, thus improving the discriminative capability and reliability of the constructed sample pairs. Lastly, we design an objective function to pull close the samples from the same cluster while pushing away those from other clusters by maximizing and minimizing the cross-view cosine similarity between positive and negative samples. Extensive experimental results on six datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of CCGC compared with the existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

As one of the prevalent methods to achieve automation systems, Imitation Learning (IL) presents a promising performance in a wide range of domains. However, despite the considerable improvement in policy performance, the corresponding research on the explainability of IL models is still limited. Inspired by the recent approaches in explainable artificial intelligence methods, we proposed a model-agnostic explaining framework for IL models called R2RISE. R2RISE aims to explain the overall policy performance with respect to the frames in demonstrations. It iteratively retrains the black-box IL model from the randomized masked demonstrations and uses the conventional evaluation outcome environment returns as the coefficient to build an importance map. We also conducted experiments to investigate three major questions concerning frames' importance equality, the effectiveness of the importance map, and connections between importance maps from different IL models. The result shows that R2RISE successfully distinguishes important frames from the demonstrations.
