The number of international benchmarking competitions is steadily increasing in various fields of machine learning (ML) research and practice. So far, however, little is known about the common practice as well as bottlenecks faced by the community in tackling the research questions posed. To shed light on the status quo of algorithm development in the specific field of biomedical imaging analysis, we designed an international survey that was issued to all participants of challenges conducted in conjunction with the IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021 conferences (80 competitions in total). The survey covered participants' expertise and working environments, their chosen strategies, as well as algorithm characteristics. A median of 72% challenge participants took part in the survey. According to our results, knowledge exchange was the primary incentive (70%) for participation, while the reception of prize money played only a minor role (16%). While a median of 80 working hours was spent on method development, a large portion of participants stated that they did not have enough time for method development (32%). 25% perceived the infrastructure to be a bottleneck. Overall, 94% of all solutions were deep learning-based. Of these, 84% were based on standard architectures. 43% of the respondents reported that the data samples (e.g., images) were too large to be processed at once. This was most commonly addressed by patch-based training (69%), downsampling (37%), and solving 3D analysis tasks as a series of 2D tasks. K-fold cross-validation on the training set was performed by only 37% of the participants and only 50% of the participants performed ensembling based on multiple identical models (61%) or heterogeneous models (39%). 48% of the respondents applied postprocessing steps.

变形金刚在NLP和计算机视觉上实现了突破，最近开始在自动驾驶汽车（AV）的轨迹预测中表现出有希望的表现。如何有效地对自我代理与其他道路和动态对象之间的交互关系建模仍然对标准注意模块仍然具有挑战性。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个类似变压器的架构模块MNM网络，该网络配备了新型掩盖的目标调节训练程序，用于AV轨迹预测。最终的模型名为高尔夫球手，取得了最先进的性能，在2022 Waymo Open DataSet Motion Predict挑战中赢得了第二名，并根据Minade排名第一。

基础模型由于在广泛的下游应用中的有效性而受到了很多关注。尽管在体系结构方面存在很大的融合，但大多数审慎的模型通常仍用于特定任务或模式。在这项工作中，我们建议将语言模型用作各种基础模型的通用接口。一系列预处理的编码者感知到了多种方式（例如视觉和语言），并与扮演通用任务层角色的语言模型对接。我们提出了一个半伴侣的语言建模目标，以共同确定界面和模块化编码器。我们从因果关系和非因果建模中涵盖了优势和能力，从而结合了两个世界的最佳状态。具体而言，所提出的方法不仅从因果语言建模中继承了内在学习和开放式生成的能力，而且由于双向编码器而有利于填补。更重要的是，我们的方法无缝地解锁了上述功能的组合，例如，通过填充编码器启用了文本学习或指导。各种仅语言和视觉语言基准的实验结果表明，我们的模型表现优于或与鉴定，零弹性概括和几乎没有的学习的专业模型竞争。

自主驾驶的当代深度学习对象检测方法通常会假定前缀类别的共同交通参与者，例如行人和汽车。大多数现有的探测器无法检测到罕见的物体和拐角案例（例如，越过街道的狗），这可能会导致某些情况下发生严重的事故，从而使真实世界应用可靠的自动驾驶不确定。阻碍了真正可靠的自动驾驶系统发展的主要原因是缺乏评估对象探测器在角案例上的性能的公共数据集。因此，我们介绍了一个名为CODA的具有挑战性的数据集，该数据集揭示了基于视力的检测器的关键问题。该数据集由1500个精心选择的现实世界驾驶场景组成，每个场景平均包含四个对象级角案例（平均），涵盖30多个对象类别。在CODA上，在大型自动驾驶数据集中训练的标准对象探测器的性能显着下降到3月的12.8％。此外，我们试验了最新的开放世界对象检测器，发现它也无法可靠地识别尾声中的新对象，这表明对自主驾驶的强大感知系统可能远离触及。我们希望我们的CODA数据集有助于对现实世界自动驾驶的可靠检测进行进一步的研究。我们的数据集将在https://coda-dataset.github.io上发布。

对于子伽马噪声下的差异隐私，我们通过常规链路函数推导出一类具有二进制值的网络模型的渐近属性。在本文中，我们根据具有离散拉普拉斯机制的一般嘈杂机制来释放二元网络的程度序列。我们建立渐近结果，包括参数估计器的一致性和渐近常态，当参数的数量进入无限远在一类网络模型中时。提供模拟和实际数据示例以说明渐近结果。

在机器学习和高维统计领域的有限样本理论中，恒定指定的浓度不平等至关重要。我们获得了独立亚网络随机变量总和的更清晰和常数的浓度不平等，这导致了两个尾巴的混合物：尺寸的小偏差和较大偏差的小偏差。这些界限是新的，并通过更清晰的常数改善了现有的界限。另外，如果应保留斜体，则新的子韦布尔参数。请检查整个文本。还提出了提出的，它可以为随机变量（向量）恢复紧密浓度不平等。对于统计应用，我们给出了$ \ ell_2 $ - 估计系数在负二项式回归中的估计系数时，当重尾协变量是稀疏结构分布的亚weibull时，这是负二项式回归的新结果。在应用随机矩阵时，我们得出了Bai-Yin定理的非反应版本，用于具有指数尾巴边界的亚weibull条目。最后，通过为没有第二瞬间条件的对数截断的Z-测验器演示一个子静电区域，我们讨论并定义了独立观测值的sub-weibull类型稳健估计器$ \ {x_i \} _ {i = 1 }^{n} $没有指数矩条件。

Masked image modeling (MIM) performs strongly in pre-training large vision Transformers (ViTs). However, small models that are critical for real-world applications cannot or only marginally benefit from this pre-training approach. In this paper, we explore distillation techniques to transfer the success of large MIM-based pre-trained models to smaller ones. We systematically study different options in the distillation framework, including distilling targets, losses, input, network regularization, sequential distillation, etc, revealing that: 1) Distilling token relations is more effective than CLS token- and feature-based distillation; 2) An intermediate layer of the teacher network as target perform better than that using the last layer when the depth of the student mismatches that of the teacher; 3) Weak regularization is preferred; etc. With these findings, we achieve significant fine-tuning accuracy improvements over the scratch MIM pre-training on ImageNet-1K classification, using all the ViT-Tiny, ViT-Small, and ViT-base models, with +4.2%/+2.4%/+1.4% gains, respectively. Our TinyMIM model of base size achieves 52.2 mIoU in AE20K semantic segmentation, which is +4.1 higher than the MAE baseline. Our TinyMIM model of tiny size achieves 79.6% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K image classification, which sets a new record for small vision models of the same size and computation budget. This strong performance suggests an alternative way for developing small vision Transformer models, that is, by exploring better training methods rather than introducing inductive biases into architectures as in most previous works.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation is a promising task freeing people from heavy annotation work. However, domain discrepancies in low-level image statistics and high-level contexts compromise the segmentation performance over the target domain. A key idea to tackle this problem is to perform both image-level and feature-level adaptation jointly. Unfortunately, there is a lack of such unified approaches for UDA tasks in the existing literature. This paper proposes a novel UDA pipeline for semantic segmentation that unifies image-level and feature-level adaptation. Concretely, for image-level domain shifts, we propose a global photometric alignment module and a global texture alignment module that align images in the source and target domains in terms of image-level properties. For feature-level domain shifts, we perform global manifold alignment by projecting pixel features from both domains onto the feature manifold of the source domain; and we further regularize category centers in the source domain through a category-oriented triplet loss and perform target domain consistency regularization over augmented target domain images. Experimental results demonstrate that our pipeline significantly outperforms previous methods. In the commonly tested GTA5$\rightarrow$Cityscapes task, our proposed method using Deeplab V3+ as the backbone surpasses previous SOTA by 8%, achieving 58.2% in mIoU.

Given the increasingly intricate forms of partial differential equations (PDEs) in physics and related fields, computationally solving PDEs without analytic solutions inevitably suffers from the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Recent advances in neural operators, a kind of mesh-independent neural-network-based PDE solvers, have suggested the dawn of overcoming this challenge. In this emerging direction, Koopman neural operator (KNO) is a representative demonstration and outperforms other state-of-the-art alternatives in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Here we present KoopmanLab, a self-contained and user-friendly PyTorch module of the Koopman neural operator family for solving partial differential equations. Beyond the original version of KNO, we develop multiple new variants of KNO based on different neural network architectures to improve the general applicability of our module. These variants are validated by mesh-independent and long-term prediction experiments implemented on representative PDEs (e.g., the Navier-Stokes equation and the Bateman-Burgers equation) and ERA5 (i.e., one of the largest high-resolution data sets of global-scale climate fields). These demonstrations suggest the potential of KoopmanLab to be considered in diverse applications of partial differential equations.

In this chapter, we review and discuss the transformation of AI technology in HCI/UX work and assess how AI technology will change how we do the work. We first discuss how AI can be used to enhance the result of user research and design evaluation. We then discuss how AI technology can be used to enhance HCI/UX design. Finally, we discuss how AI-enabled capabilities can improve UX when users interact with computing systems, applications, and services.
