RNA结构的确定和预测可以促进靶向RNA的药物开发和可用的共性元素设计。但是，由于RNA的固有结构灵活性，所有三种主流结构测定方法（X射线晶体学，NMR和Cryo-EM）在解决RNA结构时会遇到挑战，这导致已解决的RNA结构的稀缺性。计算预测方法作为实验技术的补充。但是，\ textit {de从头}的方法都不基于深度学习，因为可用的结构太少。取而代之的是，他们中的大多数采用了耗时的采样策略，而且它们的性能似乎达到了高原。在这项工作中，我们开发了第一种端到端的深度学习方法E2FOLD-3D，以准确执行\ textit {de de novo} RNA结构预测。提出了几个新的组件来克服数据稀缺性，例如完全不同的端到端管道，二级结构辅助自我鉴定和参数有效的骨干配方。此类设计在独立的，非重叠的RNA拼图测试数据集上进行了验证，并达到平均sub-4 \ aa {}根平方偏差，与最先进的方法相比，它表现出了优越的性能。有趣的是，它在预测RNA复杂结构时也可以取得令人鼓舞的结果，这是先前系统无法完成的壮举。当E2FOLD-3D与实验技术耦合时，RNA结构预测场可以大大提高。

This paper presents a practical global optimization algorithm for the K-center clustering problem, which aims to select K samples as the cluster centers to minimize the maximum within-cluster distance. This algorithm is based on a reduced-space branch and bound scheme and guarantees convergence to the global optimum in a finite number of steps by only branching on the regions of centers. To improve efficiency, we have designed a two-stage decomposable lower bound, the solution of which can be derived in a closed form. In addition, we also propose several acceleration techniques to narrow down the region of centers, including bounds tightening, sample reduction, and parallelization. Extensive studies on synthetic and real-world datasets have demonstrated that our algorithm can solve the K-center problems to global optimal within 4 hours for ten million samples in the serial mode and one billion samples in the parallel mode. Moreover, compared with the state-of-the-art heuristic methods, the global optimum obtained by our algorithm can averagely reduce the objective function by 25.8% on all the synthetic and real-world datasets.

一场堆放堡拥堵游戏（SCG）是一个双重计划，领导者的目标是通过预测和操纵均衡状态来最大程度地提高自己的收益，在该状态下，追随者通过玩拥堵游戏而定居。大规模的SCG以其顽固性和复杂性而闻名。这项研究通过可区分的编程来处理SCG，该编程将机器学习的最新发展与常规方法结合在一起。核心思想以模仿logit动力学形成的进化路径代表低级平衡问题。它可以在朝着平衡的演化路径上使用自动分化，从而导致双环梯度下降算法。我们进一步表明，对低级平衡的固定可能是一个自我强加的计算障碍。取而代之的是，领导者只能沿着追随者的演变路径向前看几个步骤，同时通过共同进化过程更新其决策。启示产生了一种单循环算法，该算法在记忆消耗和计算时间方面都更有效。通过涵盖广泛基准问题的数值实验，我们发现单循环算法始终达到解决方案质量和效率之间的良好平衡，不仅优于标准的双环实现，而且优于文献中的其他方法。重要的是，我们的结果既突出了“充分期待”的浪费和“零预期”的危险。如果需要快速启发术来解决一个非常大的SCG，则提议的单环算法具有一步的外观，使其成为理想的候选人。

现有的计算机视觉系统可以与人类竞争，以理解物体的可见部分，但在描绘部分被遮挡物体的无形部分时，仍然远远远远没有达到人类。图像Amodal的完成旨在使计算机具有类似人类的Amodal完成功能，以了解完整的对象，尽管该对象被部分遮住。这项调查的主要目的是对图像Amodal完成领域的研究热点，关键技术和未来趋势提供直观的理解。首先，我们对这个新兴领域的最新文献进行了全面的评论，探讨了图像Amodal完成中的三个关键任务，包括Amodal形状完成，Amodal外观完成和订单感知。然后，我们检查了与图像Amodal完成有关的流行数据集及其共同的数据收集方法和评估指标。最后，我们讨论了现实世界中的应用程序和未来的研究方向，以实现图像的完成，从而促进了读者对现有技术和即将到来的研究趋势的挑战的理解。

随着图表和图表学习的开发，已经提出了许多优越的方法来处理图形结构学习的可扩展性和过度厚度问题。但是，大多数策略都是基于实践经验而不是理论分析而设计的。在本文中，我们使用连接到所有现有顶点的特定虚拟节点，而不会影响原始顶点和边缘属性。我们进一步证明，这种虚拟节点可以帮助构建有效的单态边缘到vertex变换，并呈现呈呈倒数，以恢复原始图。这也表明，添加虚拟节点可以保留本地和全局结构，以更好地图表表示。我们扩展了具有虚拟节点的图形内核和图形神经网络，并在图形分类和子图同构匹配任务上进行实验。经验结果表明，以虚拟节点为输入的图表显着增强了图形结构学习，并且使用其边缘到vertex图也可以实现相似的结果。我们还讨论了神经网络中假人的表达能力的增长。

Deep learning models can achieve high accuracy when trained on large amounts of labeled data. However, real-world scenarios often involve several challenges: Training data may become available in installments, may originate from multiple different domains, and may not contain labels for training. Certain settings, for instance medical applications, often involve further restrictions that prohibit retention of previously seen data due to privacy regulations. In this work, to address such challenges, we study unsupervised segmentation in continual learning scenarios that involve domain shift. To that end, we introduce GarDA (Generative Appearance Replay for continual Domain Adaptation), a generative-replay based approach that can adapt a segmentation model sequentially to new domains with unlabeled data. In contrast to single-step unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), continual adaptation to a sequence of domains enables leveraging and consolidation of information from multiple domains. Unlike previous approaches in incremental UDA, our method does not require access to previously seen data, making it applicable in many practical scenarios. We evaluate GarDA on two datasets with different organs and modalities, where it substantially outperforms existing techniques.

The development of social media user stance detection and bot detection methods rely heavily on large-scale and high-quality benchmarks. However, in addition to low annotation quality, existing benchmarks generally have incomplete user relationships, suppressing graph-based account detection research. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Relational Graph-Based Twitter Account Detection Benchmark (MGTAB), the first standardized graph-based benchmark for account detection. To our knowledge, MGTAB was built based on the largest original data in the field, with over 1.55 million users and 130 million tweets. MGTAB contains 10,199 expert-annotated users and 7 types of relationships, ensuring high-quality annotation and diversified relations. In MGTAB, we extracted the 20 user property features with the greatest information gain and user tweet features as the user features. In addition, we performed a thorough evaluation of MGTAB and other public datasets. Our experiments found that graph-based approaches are generally more effective than feature-based approaches and perform better when introducing multiple relations. By analyzing experiment results, we identify effective approaches for account detection and provide potential future research directions in this field. Our benchmark and standardized evaluation procedures are freely available at: https://github.com/GraphDetec/MGTAB.

As one of the prevalent methods to achieve automation systems, Imitation Learning (IL) presents a promising performance in a wide range of domains. However, despite the considerable improvement in policy performance, the corresponding research on the explainability of IL models is still limited. Inspired by the recent approaches in explainable artificial intelligence methods, we proposed a model-agnostic explaining framework for IL models called R2RISE. R2RISE aims to explain the overall policy performance with respect to the frames in demonstrations. It iteratively retrains the black-box IL model from the randomized masked demonstrations and uses the conventional evaluation outcome environment returns as the coefficient to build an importance map. We also conducted experiments to investigate three major questions concerning frames' importance equality, the effectiveness of the importance map, and connections between importance maps from different IL models. The result shows that R2RISE successfully distinguishes important frames from the demonstrations.

Compressed videos often exhibit visually annoying artifacts, known as Perceivable Encoding Artifacts (PEAs), which dramatically degrade video visual quality. Subjective and objective measures capable of identifying and quantifying various types of PEAs are critical in improving visual quality. In this paper, we investigate the influence of four spatial PEAs (i.e. blurring, blocking, bleeding, and ringing) and two temporal PEAs (i.e. flickering and floating) on video quality. For spatial artifacts, we propose a visual saliency model with a low computational cost and higher consistency with human visual perception. In terms of temporal artifacts, self-attention based TimeSFormer is improved to detect temporal artifacts. Based on the six types of PEAs, a quality metric called Saliency-Aware Spatio-Temporal Artifacts Measurement (SSTAM) is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art metrics. We believe that SSTAM will be beneficial for optimizing video coding techniques.

We propose a distributionally robust return-risk model for Markov decision processes (MDPs) under risk and reward ambiguity. The proposed model optimizes the weighted average of mean and percentile performances, and it covers the distributionally robust MDPs and the distributionally robust chance-constrained MDPs (both under reward ambiguity) as special cases. By considering that the unknown reward distribution lies in a Wasserstein ambiguity set, we derive the tractable reformulation for our model. In particular, we show that that the return-risk model can also account for risk from uncertain transition kernel when one only seeks deterministic policies, and that a distributionally robust MDP under the percentile criterion can be reformulated as its nominal counterpart at an adjusted risk level. A scalable first-order algorithm is designed to solve large-scale problems, and we demonstrate the advantages of our proposed model and algorithm through numerical experiments.
