高斯过程中的变量选择（GPS）通常通过阈值平衡“自动相关性确定”内核的逆宽度，但在高维数据集中，这种方法可能是不可靠的。更概率的原则性的替代方案是使用尖峰和平板前沿并推断可变包裹物的后验概率。但是，GPS中的现有实现是以高维和大量$ N $数据集运行的昂贵，或者对于大多数内核都是棘手的。因此，我们为具有任意微分内核的秒杀和平板GP开发了一种快速且可扩展的变分推理算法。我们提高了算法通过贝叶斯模型对普遍存在的模型进行平均来适应相关变量的稀疏性的能力，并使用零温度后部限制，辍学灌注和最近的邻米匹配来实现大量速度UPS。在实验中，我们的方法始终如一地优于Vanilla和稀疏变分的GPS，同时保留类似的运行时间（即使是N = 10 ^ 6美元），并且使用MCMC使用Spike和Slab GP竞争地执行，但速度最高可达1000美元。

Traditional approaches to RL have focused on learning decision policies directly from episodic decisions, while slowly and implicitly learning the semantics of compositional representations needed for generalization. While some approaches have been adopted to refine representations via auxiliary self-supervised losses while simultaneously learning decision policies, learning compositional representations from hand-designed and context-independent self-supervised losses (multi-view) still adapts relatively slowly to the real world, which contains many non-IID subspaces requiring rapid distribution shift in both time and spatial attention patterns at varying levels of abstraction. In contrast, supervised language model cascades have shown the flexibility to adapt to many diverse manifolds, and hints of self-learning needed for autonomous task transfer. However, to date, transfer methods for language models like few-shot learning and fine-tuning still require human supervision and transfer learning using self-learning methods has been underexplored. We propose a self-supervised loss policy called contrastive distillation which manifests latent variables with high mutual information with both source and target tasks from weights to tokens. We show how this outperforms common methods of transfer learning and suggests a useful design axis of trading off compute for generalizability for online transfer. Contrastive distillation is improved through sampling from memory and suggests a simple algorithm for more efficiently sampling negative examples for contrastive losses than random sampling.

This paper presents an image-based visual servo control (IBVS) method for a first-person-view (FPV) quadrotor to conduct aggressive aerial tracking. There are three major challenges to maneuvering an underactuated vehicle using IBVS: (i) finding a visual feature representation that is robust to large rotations and is suited to be an optimization variable; (ii) keeping the target visible without sacrificing the robot's agility; and (iii) compensating for the rotational effects in the detected features. We propose a complete design framework to address these problems. First, we employ a rotation on $SO(3)$ to represent a spherical image feature on $S^{2}$ to gain singularity-free and second-order differentiable properties. To ensure target visibility, we formulate the IBVS as a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) problem with three constraints taken into account: the robot's physical limits, target visibility, and time-to-collision (TTC). Furthermore, we propose a novel attitude-compensation scheme to enable formulating the visibility constraint in the actual image plane instead of a virtual fix-orientation image plane. It guarantees that the visibility constraint is valid under large rotations. Extensive experimental results show that our method can track a fast-moving target stably and aggressively without the aid of a localization system.

Achieving multiple genres and long-term choreography sequences from given music is a challenging task, due to the lack of a multi-genre dataset. To tackle this problem,we propose a Multi Art Genre Intelligent Choreography Dataset (MagicDance). The data of MagicDance is captured from professional dancers assisted by motion capture technicians. It has a total of 8 hours 3D motioncapture human dances with paired music, and 16 different dance genres. To the best of our knowledge, MagicDance is the 3D dance dataset with the most genres. In addition, we find that the existing two types of methods (generation-based method and synthesis-based method) can only satisfy one of the diversity and duration, but they can complement to some extent. Based on this observation, we also propose a generation-synthesis choreography network (MagicNet), which cascades a Diffusion-based 3D Diverse Dance fragments Generation Network (3DGNet) and a Genre&Coherent aware Retrieval Module (GCRM). The former can generate various dance fragments from only one music clip. The latter is utilized to select the best dance fragment generated by 3DGNet and switch them into a complete dance according to the genre and coherent matching score. Quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate the quality of MagicDance, and the state-of-the-art performance of MagicNet.

Hopfield attractor networks are robust distributed models of human memory. We propose construction rules such that an attractor network may implement an arbitrary finite state machine (FSM), where states and stimuli are represented by high-dimensional random bipolar vectors, and all state transitions are enacted by the attractor network's dynamics. Numerical simulations show the capacity of the model, in terms of the maximum size of implementable FSM, to be linear in the size of the attractor network. We show that the model is robust to imprecise and noisy weights, and so a prime candidate for implementation with high-density but unreliable devices. By endowing attractor networks with the ability to emulate arbitrary FSMs, we propose a plausible path by which FSMs may exist as a distributed computational primitive in biological neural networks.

This is our 2nd-place solution for the ECCV 2022 Multiple People Tracking in Group Dance Challenge. Our method mainly includes two steps: online short-term tracking using our Cascaded Buffer-IoU (C-BIoU) Tracker, and, offline long-term tracking using appearance feature and hierarchical clustering. Our C-BIoU tracker adds buffers to expand the matching space of detections and tracks, which mitigates the effect of irregular motions in two aspects: one is to directly match identical but non-overlapping detections and tracks in adjacent frames, and the other is to compensate for the motion estimation bias in the matching space. In addition, to reduce the risk of overexpansion of the matching space, cascaded matching is employed: first matching alive tracks and detections with a small buffer, and then matching unmatched tracks and detections with a large buffer. After using our C-BIoU for online tracking, we applied the offline refinement introduced by ReMOTS.

The binding problem is one of the fundamental challenges that prevent the artificial neural network (ANNs) from a compositional understanding of the world like human perception, because disentangled and distributed representations of generative factors can interfere and lead to ambiguity when complex data with multiple objects are presented. In this paper, we propose a brain-inspired hybrid neural network (HNN) that introduces temporal binding theory originated from neuroscience into ANNs by integrating spike timing dynamics (via spiking neural networks, SNNs) with reconstructive attention (by ANNs). Spike timing provides an additional dimension for grouping, while reconstructive feedback coordinates the spikes into temporal coherent states. Through iterative interaction of ANN and SNN, the model continuously binds multiple objects at alternative synchronous firing times in the SNN coding space. The effectiveness of the model is evaluated on synthetic datasets of binary images. By visualization and analysis, we demonstrate that the binding is explainable, soft, flexible, and hierarchical. Notably, the model is trained on single object datasets without explicit supervision on grouping, but successfully binds multiple objects on test datasets, showing its compositional generalization capability. Further results show its binding ability in dynamic situations.

我们提出了循环式的舞蹈风格转移系统，该系统将以一种舞蹈方式将现有的运动剪辑转换为另一种舞蹈风格的运动剪辑，同时试图保留舞蹈的运动背景。我们的方法扩展了现有的自行车结构，用于建模音频序列，并集成多模式变压器编码器以说明音乐上下文。我们采用基于序列长度的课程学习来稳定培训。我们的方法捕获了运动框架之间丰富而长期的内部关系，这是运动转移和合成工作中的普遍挑战。我们进一步介绍了在舞蹈运动的背景下衡量转移力量和内容保存的新指标。我们进行了一项广泛的消融研究以及一项人类研究，其中包括30名具有5年或更长时间的舞蹈经验的参与者。结果表明，循环量会以目标样式产生逼真的运动，从而在自然性，传递强度和内容保存上明显优于基线周期。

我们开发了BenchPress，这是第一个用于编译器的ML基准生成器，它是在源代码的功能空间表示中可检测的。卧推通过在空序列或现有序列的任何部分中添加新代码，通过共同观察其左和右下文，从而综合编译函数，从而达到出色的汇编速率。卧推操纵基准的生成迈向了所需的目标特征，这对于最先进的合成器（或实际上人类）不可能达到。与（a）clgen-最先进的ML合成器，（b）Clsmith Fuzzer，（c）Srciror Mutator或（d）人写代码相比来自Github。 Benchpress是第一个通过主动学习搜索功能空间的生成器，以生成可以改善下游任务的基准。我们展示了Grewe's等人如何使用台式。与其他技术相比，CPU与GPU启发式模型在台式基准测试中进行训练时可以获得更高的加速。卧推是一个强大的代码生成器：其生成的样品以86％的速度编译，而Clgen的2.33％则以86％的速度编译。从一个空的固定输入开始，台式比CLGEN产生的10倍，可汇编的OpenCL基准测试，这些基准比Clgen更大，并且更具多样性。

使用人工智能（AI）以意图创建舞蹈编舞仍在早期。有条件生成舞蹈序列的方法在遵循编舞特定的创意意图的能力上仍然有限，通常依靠外部提示或监督学习。同样，完全注释的舞蹈数据集罕见且劳动密集型。为了填补这一空白，并帮助深入学习作为编舞者的有意义的工具，我们提出了“ Pirounet”，这是一种半监督的条件性复发性自动编码器以及舞蹈标签网络应用程序。 Pirounet允许舞蹈专业人士使用自己的主观创意标签注释数据，并根据其美学标准生成新的编舞。得益于提议的半监督方法，PirOnet仅需要标记数据集的一小部分，通常以1％的订单为单位。我们展示了Pirounet的功能，因为它基于“ Laban Time努力”生成原始的编排，这是一个既定的舞蹈概念，描述了动作时间动态的意图。我们通过一系列定性和定量指标广泛评估了Pirounet的舞蹈创作，从而证实了其作为编舞工具的适用性。
