We introduce anchored radial observations (ARO), a novel shape encoding for learning neural field representation of shapes that is category-agnostic and generalizable amid significant shape variations. The main idea behind our work is to reason about shapes through partial observations from a set of viewpoints, called anchors. We develop a general and unified shape representation by employing a fixed set of anchors, via Fibonacci sampling, and designing a coordinate-based deep neural network to predict the occupancy value of a query point in space. Differently from prior neural implicit models, that use global shape feature, our shape encoder operates on contextual, query-specific features. To predict point occupancy, locally observed shape information from the perspective of the anchors surrounding the input query point are encoded and aggregated through an attention module, before implicit decoding is performed. We demonstrate the quality and generality of our network, coined ARO-Net, on surface reconstruction from sparse point clouds, with tests on novel and unseen object categories, "one-shape" training, and comparisons to state-of-the-art neural and classical methods for reconstruction and tessellation.

Heterogeneous face re-identification, namely matching heterogeneous faces across disjoint visible light (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) cameras, has become an important problem in video surveillance application. However, the large domain discrepancy between heterogeneous NIR-VIS faces makes the performance of face re-identification degraded dramatically. To solve this problem, a multimodal fusion ranking optimization algorithm for heterogeneous face re-identification is proposed in this paper. Firstly, we design a heterogeneous face translation network to obtain multimodal face pairs, including NIR-VIS/NIR-NIR/VIS-VIS face pairs, through mutual transformation between NIR-VIS faces. Secondly, we propose linear and non-linear fusion strategies to aggregate initial ranking lists of multimodal face pairs and acquire the optimized re-ranked list based on modal complementarity. The experimental results show that the proposed multimodal fusion ranking optimization algorithm can effectively utilize the complementarity and outperforms some relative methods on the SCface dataset.

Nowadays, Multi-purpose Messaging Mobile App (MMMA) has become increasingly prevalent. MMMAs attract fraudsters and some cybercriminals provide support for frauds via black market accounts (BMAs). Compared to fraudsters, BMAs are not directly involved in frauds and are more difficult to detect. This paper illustrates our BMA detection system SGRL (Self-supervised Graph Representation Learning) used in WeChat, a representative MMMA with over a billion users. We tailor Graph Neural Network and Graph Self-supervised Learning in SGRL for BMA detection. The workflow of SGRL contains a pretraining phase that utilizes structural information, node attribute information and available human knowledge, and a lightweight detection phase. In offline experiments, SGRL outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 16.06%-58.17% on offline evaluation measures. We deploy SGRL in the online environment to detect BMAs on the billion-scale WeChat graph, and it exceeds the alternative by 7.27% on the online evaluation measure. In conclusion, SGRL can alleviate label reliance, generalize well to unseen data, and effectively detect BMAs in WeChat.

Conventional matrix factorization relies on centralized collection of users' data for recommendation, which might introduce an increased risk of privacy leakage especially when the recommender is untrusted. Existing differentially private matrix factorization methods either assume the recommender is trusted, or can only provide a uniform level of privacy protection for all users and items with untrusted recommender. In this paper, we propose a novel Heterogeneous Differentially Private Matrix Factorization algorithm (denoted as HDPMF) for untrusted recommender. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to achieve heterogeneous differential privacy for decentralized matrix factorization in untrusted recommender scenario. Specifically, our framework uses modified stretching mechanism with an innovative rescaling scheme to achieve better trade off between privacy and accuracy. Meanwhile, by allocating privacy budget properly, we can capture homogeneous privacy preference within a user/item but heterogeneous privacy preference across different users/items. Theoretical analysis confirms that HDPMF renders rigorous privacy guarantee, and exhaustive experiments demonstrate its superiority especially in strong privacy guarantee, high dimension model and sparse dataset scenario.

Binary code similarity detection (BCSD) is widely used in various binary analysis tasks such as vulnerability search, malware detection, clone detection, and patch analysis. Recent studies have shown that the learning-based binary code embedding models perform better than the traditional feature-based approaches. In this paper, we proposed a novel transformer-based binary code embedding model, named UniASM, to learn representations of the binary functions. We designed two new training tasks to make the spatial distribution of the generated vectors more uniform, which can be used directly in BCSD without any fine-tuning. In addition, we proposed a new tokenization approach for binary functions, increasing the token's semantic information while mitigating the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) problem. The experimental results show that UniASM outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches on the evaluation dataset. We achieved the average scores of recall@1 on cross-compilers, cross-optimization-levels and cross-obfuscations are 0.72, 0.63, and 0.77, which is higher than existing SOTA baselines. In a real-world task of known vulnerability searching, UniASM outperforms all the current baselines.

由于准备点云的标记数据用于训练语义分割网络是一个耗时的过程，因此已经引入了弱监督的方法，以从一小部分数据中学习。这些方法通常是基于对比损失的学习，同时自动从一组稀疏的用户注销标签中得出每个点伪标签。在本文中，我们的关键观察是，选择要注释的样品的选择与这些样品的使用方式一样重要。因此，我们介绍了一种对3D场景进行弱监督分割的方法，该方法将自我训练与主动学习结合在一起。主动学习选择注释点可能会导致训练有素的模型的性能改进，而自我培训则可以有效利用用户提供的标签来学习模型。我们证明我们的方法会导致一种有效的方法，该方法可改善场景细分对以前的作品和基线，同时仅需要少量的用户注释。

近年来，多视图学习迅速发展。尽管许多先前的研究都认为每个实例都出现在所有视图中，但在现实世界应用程序中很常见，从某些视图中丢失实例，从而导致多视图数据不完整。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个新型潜在的异质图网络（LHGN），以实现不完整的多视图学习，该学习旨在以灵活的方式尽可能充分地使用多个不完整的视图。通过学习统一的潜在代表，隐含地实现了不同观点之间一致性和互补性之间的权衡。为了探索样本与潜在表示之间的复杂关系，首次提出了邻域约束和视图约束，以构建异质图。最后，为了避免训练和测试阶段之间的任何不一致之处，基于图形学习的分类任务应用了转导学习技术。对现实世界数据集的广泛实验结果证明了我们模型对现有最新方法的有效性。

随着大数据时代的出现以及人工智能和其他技术的发展，数据安全和隐私保护变得越来越重要。推荐系统在我们的社会中有许多应用程序，但是建议系统的模型构建通常与用户数据密不可分。特别是对于基于深度学习的推荐系统，由于模型的复杂性和深度学习本身的特征，其培训过程不仅需要长时间的培训时间和丰富的计算资源，而且还需要使用大量的用户数据，在数据安全和隐私保护方面构成了巨大的挑战。如何在确保数据安全性的同时训练分布式建议系统已成为要解决的紧迫问题。在本文中，我们基于Intel SGX（软件保护扩展），可信赖的执行环境的实施以及TensorFlow框架，实施两个方案，水平联合学习和安全的分布式培训，以实现安全，分布式分布式建议的基于系统的学习方案在不同的情况下。我们在经典的深度学习推荐模型（DLRM）上进行实验，该模型是一种基于神经网络的机器学习模型，旨在个性化和建议，结果表明，我们的实施介绍了模型性能的大约没有损失。训练速度在可接受的范围内。
