传统的LIDAR射测（LO）系统主要利用从经过的环境获得的几何信息来注册激光扫描并估算Lidar Ego-Motion，而在动态或非结构化环境中可能不可靠。本文提出了Inten-loam，一种低饮用和健壮的激光镜和映射方法，该方法完全利用激光扫描的隐式信息（即几何，强度和时间特征）。扫描点被投影到圆柱形图像上，这些图像有助于促进各种特征的有效和适应性提取，即地面，梁，立面和反射器。我们提出了一种新型基于强度的点登记算法，并将其纳入LIDAR的探光仪，从而使LO系统能够使用几何和强度特征点共同估计LIDAR EGO-MOTION。为了消除动态对象的干扰，我们提出了一种基于时间的动态对象删除方法，以在MAP更新之前过滤它们。此外，使用与时间相关的体素网格滤波器组织并缩减了本地地图，以维持当前扫描和静态局部图之间的相似性。在模拟和实际数据集上进行了广泛的实验。结果表明，所提出的方法在正常驾驶方案中实现了类似或更高的精度W.R.T，在非结构化环境中，最先进的方法优于基于几何的LO。

随着网络技术的快速发展和网络设备的快速增长，数据吞吐量也大大增加。为了解决蜂窝网络中回程瓶颈的问题并满足人们对延迟的要求，基于预测的结果，网络体系结构等网络体系结构旨在主动将有限的流行内容保持在网络边缘。同时，内容（例如，深度神经网络模型，与Wikipedia类似知识库）和用户之间的相互作用可以视为动态二分图。在本文中，为了最大程度地提高缓存命中率，我们利用有效的动态图神经网络（DGNN）共同学习嵌入了两部分图中的结构和时间模式。此外，为了更深入地了解不断发展的图表中的动态，我们提出了一个基于信息时代（AOI）的注意机制，以提取有价值的历史信息，同时避免消息陈旧的问题。结合了上述预测模型，我们还开发了一种缓存选择算法，以根据预测结果做出缓存决策。广泛的结果表明，与两个现实世界数据集中的其他最先进的方案相比，我们的模型可以获得更高的预测准确性。命中率的结果进一步验证了基于我们提出的模型而不是其他传统方式的缓存政策的优势。

大型未标记语料库上的预训练的变压器语言模型已产生了最新的最先进的结果，从而导致了自然语言处理，有机分子设计和蛋白质序列的产生。但是，尚未应用这种模型来学习无机材料的组成模式。在这里，我们使用在ICSD，OQMD中存放的材料和材料项目数据库中扩展的公式培训了七种现代变压器模型（GPT，GPT-2，GPT-2，GPT-NEO，GPT-NEO，GPT-J，BLMM，BART和ROBERTA） 。六个不同的数据集，具有/输出非电荷 - 中性或平衡的电负性样品用于对性能进行基准测试，并发现现代变压器模型的产生偏见，以生成材料组成的生成设计。我们的广泛实验表明，基于因果语言模型的材料变形金刚可以产生高达97.54 \％的化学有效材料组合物，即充电中性，而91.40 \％的电负性平衡，与基线相比，它的富集高6倍以上伪随机抽样算法。这些模型还表现出了很高的新颖性，并且它们在新材料发现中的潜力已经证明了它们的能力恢复了留出的材料。我们还发现，可以通过使用精选的训练集（例如高带盖材料）训练模型来量身定制生成的样品的性能。我们的实验还表明，不同模型在生成样品的属性方面都有自己的喜好，并且其运行时间复杂性差异很大。我们已经应用了材料变压器模型来发现一套使用DFT计算验证的新材料。

指定的实体识别任务是信息提取的核心任务之一。单词歧义和单词缩写是命名实体低识别率的重要原因。在本文中，我们提出了一种名为“实体识别模型WCL-BBCD”（与Bert-Bilstm-Crf-Dbpedia的单词对比学习），结合了对比度学习的概念。该模型首先在文本中训练句子对，计算句子对通过余弦的相似性中的单词对之间的相似性，以及通过相似性通过相似性来命名实体识别任务的BERT模型，以减轻单词歧义。然后，将微调的BERT模型与Bilstm-CRF模型相结合，以执行指定的实体识别任务。最后，将识别结果与先验知识（例如知识图）结合使用，以减轻单词缩写引起的低速问题的识别。实验结果表明，我们的模型在Conll-2003英语数据集和Ontonotes V5英语数据集上优于其他类似的模型方法。

本文提出了一种网络，称为MVSTR，用于多视图立体声（MV）。它建在变压器上，并能够用全局上下文和3D一致性提取密集的功能，这对于实现MV的可靠匹配至关重要。具体地，为了解决现有的基于CNN的MVS方法的有限接收领域的问题，首先提出全局上下文变换器模块来探索视图内的全局上下文。另外，为了进一步实现致密功能，以3D一致，通过精心设计的巧妙机制构建了3D几何变压器模块，以便于观看互联信息交互。实验结果表明，建议的MVSTR在DTU数据集中实现了最佳的整体性能，并在坦克和寺庙基准数据集上的强大泛化。

人工智能（AI）为简化Covid-19诊断提供了有前景的替代。然而，涉及周围的安全和可信度的担忧阻碍了大规模代表性的医学数据，对临床实践中训练广泛的模型造成了相当大的挑战。为了解决这个问题，我们启动了统一的CT-Covid AI诊断计划（UCADI），其中AI模型可以在没有数据共享的联合学习框架（FL）下在每个主机机构下分发和独立地在没有数据共享的情况下在每个主机机构上执行。在这里，我们认为我们的FL模型通过大的产量（中国测试敏感性/特异性：0.973 / 0.951，英国：0.730 / 0.942），与专业放射科医师的面板实现可比性表现。我们进一步评估了持有的模型（从另外两家医院收集，留出FL）和异构（用造影材料获取）数据，提供了模型所做的决策的视觉解释，并分析了模型之间的权衡联邦培训过程中的性能和沟通成本。我们的研究基于来自位于中国和英国的23家医院的3,336名患者的9,573次胸部计算断层扫描扫描（CTS）。统称，我们的工作提出了利用联邦学习的潜在保留了数字健康的前景。

Salient object detection (SOD) aims to determine the most visually attractive objects in an image. With the development of virtual reality technology, 360{\deg} omnidirectional image has been widely used, but the SOD task in 360{\deg} omnidirectional image is seldom studied due to its severe distortions and complex scenes. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Projection Fusion and Refinement Network (MPFR-Net) to detect the salient objects in 360{\deg} omnidirectional image. Different from the existing methods, the equirectangular projection image and four corresponding cube-unfolding images are embedded into the network simultaneously as inputs, where the cube-unfolding images not only provide supplementary information for equirectangular projection image, but also ensure the object integrity of the cube-map projection. In order to make full use of these two projection modes, a Dynamic Weighting Fusion (DWF) module is designed to adaptively integrate the features of different projections in a complementary and dynamic manner from the perspective of inter and intra features. Furthermore, in order to fully explore the way of interaction between encoder and decoder features, a Filtration and Refinement (FR) module is designed to suppress the redundant information between the feature itself and the feature. Experimental results on two omnidirectional datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Scene text editing (STE) aims to replace text with the desired one while preserving background and styles of the original text. However, due to the complicated background textures and various text styles, existing methods fall short in generating clear and legible edited text images. In this study, we attribute the poor editing performance to two problems: 1) Implicit decoupling structure. Previous methods of editing the whole image have to learn different translation rules of background and text regions simultaneously. 2) Domain gap. Due to the lack of edited real scene text images, the network can only be well trained on synthetic pairs and performs poorly on real-world images. To handle the above problems, we propose a novel network by MOdifying Scene Text image at strokE Level (MOSTEL). Firstly, we generate stroke guidance maps to explicitly indicate regions to be edited. Different from the implicit one by directly modifying all the pixels at image level, such explicit instructions filter out the distractions from background and guide the network to focus on editing rules of text regions. Secondly, we propose a Semi-supervised Hybrid Learning to train the network with both labeled synthetic images and unpaired real scene text images. Thus, the STE model is adapted to real-world datasets distributions. Moreover, two new datasets (Tamper-Syn2k and Tamper-Scene) are proposed to fill the blank of public evaluation datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our MOSTEL outperforms previous methods both qualitatively and quantitatively. Datasets and code will be available at https://github.com/qqqyd/MOSTEL.

Oxidation states are the charges of atoms after their ionic approximation of their bonds, which have been widely used in charge-neutrality verification, crystal structure determination, and reaction estimation. Currently only heuristic rules exist for guessing the oxidation states of a given compound with many exceptions. Recent work has developed machine learning models based on heuristic structural features for predicting the oxidation states of metal ions. However, composition based oxidation state prediction still remains elusive so far, which is more important in new material discovery for which the structures are not even available. This work proposes a novel deep learning based BERT transformer language model BERTOS for predicting the oxidation states of all elements of inorganic compounds given only their chemical composition. Our model achieves 96.82\% accuracy for all-element oxidation states prediction benchmarked on the cleaned ICSD dataset and achieves 97.61\% accuracy for oxide materials. We also demonstrate how it can be used to conduct large-scale screening of hypothetical material compositions for materials discovery.

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) has increasing importance in building robust high-performance and generalizable materials property prediction models. It can also be used in active learning to train better models by focusing on getting new training data from uncertain regions. There are several categories of UQ methods each considering different types of uncertainty sources. Here we conduct a comprehensive evaluation on the UQ methods for graph neural network based materials property prediction and evaluate how they truly reflect the uncertainty that we want in error bound estimation or active learning. Our experimental results over four crystal materials datasets (including formation energy, adsorption energy, total energy, and band gap properties) show that the popular ensemble methods for uncertainty estimation is NOT the best choice for UQ in materials property prediction.
