The heterogeneity gap problem is the main challenge in cross-modal retrieval. Because cross-modal data (e.g. audiovisual) have different distributions and representations that cannot be directly compared. To bridge the gap between audiovisual modalities, we learn a common subspace for them by utilizing the intrinsic correlation in the natural synchronization of audio-visual data with the aid of annotated labels. TNN-CCCA is the best audio-visual cross-modal retrieval (AV-CMR) model so far, but the model training is sensitive to hard negative samples when learning common subspace by applying triplet loss to predict the relative distance between inputs. In this paper, to reduce the interference of hard negative samples in representation learning, we propose a new AV-CMR model to optimize semantic features by directly predicting labels and then measuring the intrinsic correlation between audio-visual data using complete cross-triple loss. In particular, our model projects audio-visual features into label space by minimizing the distance between predicted label features after feature projection and ground label representations. Moreover, we adopt complete cross-triplet loss to optimize the predicted label features by leveraging the relationship between all possible similarity and dissimilarity semantic information across modalities. The extensive experimental results on two audio-visual double-checked datasets have shown an improvement of approximately 2.1% in terms of average MAP over the current state-of-the-art method TNN-CCCA for the AV-CMR task, which indicates the effectiveness of our proposed model.

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。

Structure-guided image completion aims to inpaint a local region of an image according to an input guidance map from users. While such a task enables many practical applications for interactive editing, existing methods often struggle to hallucinate realistic object instances in complex natural scenes. Such a limitation is partially due to the lack of semantic-level constraints inside the hole region as well as the lack of a mechanism to enforce realistic object generation. In this work, we propose a learning paradigm that consists of semantic discriminators and object-level discriminators for improving the generation of complex semantics and objects. Specifically, the semantic discriminators leverage pretrained visual features to improve the realism of the generated visual concepts. Moreover, the object-level discriminators take aligned instances as inputs to enforce the realism of individual objects. Our proposed scheme significantly improves the generation quality and achieves state-of-the-art results on various tasks, including segmentation-guided completion, edge-guided manipulation and panoptically-guided manipulation on Places2 datasets. Furthermore, our trained model is flexible and can support multiple editing use cases, such as object insertion, replacement, removal and standard inpainting. In particular, our trained model combined with a novel automatic image completion pipeline achieves state-of-the-art results on the standard inpainting task.

Geometric camera calibration is often required for applications that understand the perspective of the image. We propose perspective fields as a representation that models the local perspective properties of an image. Perspective Fields contain per-pixel information about the camera view, parameterized as an up vector and a latitude value. This representation has a number of advantages as it makes minimal assumptions about the camera model and is invariant or equivariant to common image editing operations like cropping, warping, and rotation. It is also more interpretable and aligned with human perception. We train a neural network to predict Perspective Fields and the predicted Perspective Fields can be converted to calibration parameters easily. We demonstrate the robustness of our approach under various scenarios compared with camera calibration-based methods and show example applications in image compositing.

Object compositing based on 2D images is a challenging problem since it typically involves multiple processing stages such as color harmonization, geometry correction and shadow generation to generate realistic results. Furthermore, annotating training data pairs for compositing requires substantial manual effort from professionals, and is hardly scalable. Thus, with the recent advances in generative models, in this work, we propose a self-supervised framework for object compositing by leveraging the power of conditional diffusion models. Our framework can hollistically address the object compositing task in a unified model, transforming the viewpoint, geometry, color and shadow of the generated object while requiring no manual labeling. To preserve the input object's characteristics, we introduce a content adaptor that helps to maintain categorical semantics and object appearance. A data augmentation method is further adopted to improve the fidelity of the generator. Our method outperforms relevant baselines in both realism and faithfulness of the synthesized result images in a user study on various real-world images.

为多个机器人制定安全，稳定和高效的避免障碍政策是具有挑战性的。大多数现有研究要么使用集中控制，要么需要与其他机器人进行通信。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于对数地图的新型对数深度强化学习方法，以避免复杂且无通信的多机器人方案。特别是，我们的方法将激光信息转换为对数图。为了提高训练速度和概括性能，我们的政策将在两个专门设计的多机器人方案中进行培训。与其他方法相比，对数图可以更准确地表示障碍，并提高避免障碍的成功率。我们最终在各种模拟和现实情况下评估了我们的方法。结果表明，我们的方法为复杂的多机器人场景和行人场景中的机器人提供了一种更稳定，更有效的导航解决方案。视频可在https://youtu.be/r0esuxe6mze上找到。

尽管在过去几年中取得了重大进展，但使用单眼图像进行深度估计仍然存在挑战。首先，训练度量深度预测模型的训练是不算气的，该预测模型可以很好地推广到主要由于训练数据有限的不同场景。因此，研究人员建立了大规模的相对深度数据集，这些数据集更容易收集。但是，由于使用相对深度数据训练引起的深度转移，现有的相对深度估计模型通常无法恢复准确的3D场景形状。我们在此处解决此问题，并尝试通过对大规模相对深度数据进行训练并估算深度转移来估计现场形状。为此，我们提出了一个两阶段的框架，该框架首先将深度预测到未知量表并从单眼图像转移，然后利用3D点云数据来预测深度​​移位和相机的焦距，使我们能够恢复恢复3D场景形状。由于两个模块是单独训练的，因此我们不需要严格配对的培训数据。此外，我们提出了图像级的归一化回归损失和基于正常的几何损失，以通过相对深度注释来改善训练。我们在九个看不见的数据集上测试我们的深度模型，并在零拍摄评估上实现最先进的性能。代码可用：https：//git.io/depth
