语义细分是计算机视觉中的一个流行研究主题，并且在其上做出了许多努力，结果令人印象深刻。在本文中，我们打算搜索可以实时运行此问题的最佳网络结构。为了实现这一目标，我们共同搜索深度，通道，扩张速率和特征空间分辨率，从而导致搜索空间约为2.78*10^324可能的选择。为了处理如此大的搜索空间，我们利用差异架构搜索方法。但是，需要离散地使用使用现有差异方法搜索的体系结构参数，这会导致差异方法找到的架构参数与其离散版本作为体系结构搜索的最终解决方案之间的离散差距。因此，我们从解决方案空间正则化的创新角度来缓解离散差距的问题。具体而言，首先提出了新型的解决方案空间正则化（SSR）损失，以有效鼓励超级网络收敛到其离散。然后，提出了一种新的分层和渐进式解决方案空间缩小方法，以进一步实现较高的搜索效率。此外，我们从理论上表明，SSR损失的优化等同于L_0-NORM正则化，这说明了改善的搜索评估差距。综合实验表明，提出的搜索方案可以有效地找到最佳的网络结构，该结构具有较小的模型大小（1 m）的分割非常快的速度（175 fps），同时保持可比较的精度。

点云实例分割在深度学习的出现方面取得了巨大进展。然而，这些方法通常是具有昂贵且耗时的密度云注释的数据饥饿。为了减轻注释成本，在任务中仍申请未标记或弱标记的数据。在本文中，我们使用标记和未标记的边界框作为监控，介绍第一个半监控点云实例分段框架（SPIB）。具体而言，我们的SPIB架构涉及两级学习程序。对于阶段，在具有扰动一致性正则化（SPCR）的半监控设置下培训边界框提案生成网络。正规化通过强制执行对应用于输入点云的不同扰动的边界框预测的不变性，为网络学习提供自我监督。对于阶段，使用SPCR的边界框提案被分组为某些子集，并且使用新颖的语义传播模块和属性一致性图模块中的每个子集中挖掘实例掩码。此外，我们介绍了一种新型占用比导改进模块，以优化实例掩码。对挑战队的攻击v2数据集进行了广泛的实验，证明了我们的方法可以实现与最近的完全监督方法相比的竞争性能。

在其培训集中，给定训练有素的模型泄漏了多少培训模型泄露？会员资格推理攻击用作审计工具，以量化模型在其训练集中泄漏的私人信息。会员推理攻击受到不同不确定性的影响，即攻击者必须解决培训数据，培训算法和底层数据分布。因此，攻击成功率，在文献中的许多攻击，不要精确地捕获模型的信息泄漏关于他们的数据，因为它们还反映了攻击算法具有的其他不确定性。在本文中，我们解释了隐含的假设以及使用假设检测框架在现有工作中进行的简化。我们还从框架中获得了新的攻击算法，可以实现高AUC分数，同时还突出显示影响其性能的不同因素。我们的算法捕获模型中隐私损失的非常精确的近似，并且可以用作在机器学习模型中执行准确和了解的隐私风险的工具。我们对各种机器学习任务和基准数据集的攻击策略提供了彻底的实证评估。

Accurate determination of a small molecule candidate (ligand) binding pose in its target protein pocket is important for computer-aided drug discovery. Typical rigid-body docking methods ignore the pocket flexibility of protein, while the more accurate pose generation using molecular dynamics is hindered by slow protein dynamics. We develop a tiered tensor transform (3T) algorithm to rapidly generate diverse protein-ligand complex conformations for both pose and affinity estimation in drug screening, requiring neither machine learning training nor lengthy dynamics computation, while maintaining both coarse-grain-like coordinated protein dynamics and atomistic-level details of the complex pocket. The 3T conformation structures we generate are closer to experimental co-crystal structures than those generated by docking software, and more importantly achieve significantly higher accuracy in active ligand classification than traditional ensemble docking using hundreds of experimental protein conformations. 3T structure transformation is decoupled from the system physics, making future usage in other computational scientific domains possible.

For Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, many models have been established to characterize their degradation process. The existing empirical or physical models can reveal important information regarding the degradation dynamics. However, there is no general and flexible methods to fuse the information represented by those models. Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) is an efficient tool to fuse empirical or physical dynamic models with data-driven models. To take full advantage of various information sources, we propose a model fusion scheme based on PINN. It is implemented by developing a semi-empirical semi-physical Partial Differential Equation (PDE) to model the degradation dynamics of Li-ion-batteries. When there is little prior knowledge about the dynamics, we leverage the data-driven Deep Hidden Physics Model (DeepHPM) to discover the underlying governing dynamic models. The uncovered dynamics information is then fused with that mined by the surrogate neural network in the PINN framework. Moreover, an uncertainty-based adaptive weighting method is employed to balance the multiple learning tasks when training the PINN. The proposed methods are verified on a public dataset of Li-ion Phosphate (LFP)/graphite batteries.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging aims to reconstruct the three-dimensional hidden scenes from the data measured in the line-of-sight, which uses photon time-of-flight information encoded in light after multiple diffuse reflections. The under-sampled scanning data can facilitate fast imaging. However, the resulting reconstruction problem becomes a serious ill-posed inverse problem, the solution of which is of high possibility to be degraded due to noises and distortions. In this paper, we propose two novel NLOS reconstruction models based on curvature regularization, i.e., the object-domain curvature regularization model and the dual (i.e., signal and object)-domain curvature regularization model. Fast numerical optimization algorithms are developed relying on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) with the backtracking stepsize rule, which are further accelerated by GPU implementation. We evaluate the proposed algorithms on both synthetic and real datasets, which achieve state-of-the-art performance, especially in the compressed sensing setting. All our codes and data are available at https://github.com/Duanlab123/CurvNLOS.

Masked image modeling (MIM) has shown great promise for self-supervised learning (SSL) yet been criticized for learning inefficiency. We believe the insufficient utilization of training signals should be responsible. To alleviate this issue, we introduce a conceptually simple yet learning-efficient MIM training scheme, termed Disjoint Masking with Joint Distillation (DMJD). For disjoint masking (DM), we sequentially sample multiple masked views per image in a mini-batch with the disjoint regulation to raise the usage of tokens for reconstruction in each image while keeping the masking rate of each view. For joint distillation (JD), we adopt a dual branch architecture to respectively predict invisible (masked) and visible (unmasked) tokens with superior learning targets. Rooting in orthogonal perspectives for training efficiency improvement, DM and JD cooperatively accelerate the training convergence yet not sacrificing the model generalization ability. Concretely, DM can train ViT with half of the effective training epochs (3.7 times less time-consuming) to report competitive performance. With JD, our DMJD clearly improves the linear probing classification accuracy over ConvMAE by 5.8%. On fine-grained downstream tasks like semantic segmentation, object detection, etc., our DMJD also presents superior generalization compared with state-of-the-art SSL methods. The code and model will be made public at https://github.com/mx-mark/DMJD.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most important branches of AI. Due to its capacity for self-adaption and decision-making in dynamic environments, reinforcement learning has been widely applied in multiple areas, such as healthcare, data markets, autonomous driving, and robotics. However, some of these applications and systems have been shown to be vulnerable to security or privacy attacks, resulting in unreliable or unstable services. A large number of studies have focused on these security and privacy problems in reinforcement learning. However, few surveys have provided a systematic review and comparison of existing problems and state-of-the-art solutions to keep up with the pace of emerging threats. Accordingly, we herein present such a comprehensive review to explain and summarize the challenges associated with security and privacy in reinforcement learning from a new perspective, namely that of the Markov Decision Process (MDP). In this survey, we first introduce the key concepts related to this area. Next, we cover the security and privacy issues linked to the state, action, environment, and reward function of the MDP process, respectively. We further highlight the special characteristics of security and privacy methodologies related to reinforcement learning. Finally, we discuss the possible future research directions within this area.

Detecting abrupt changes in data distribution is one of the most significant tasks in streaming data analysis. Although many unsupervised Change-Point Detection (CPD) methods have been proposed recently to identify those changes, they still suffer from missing subtle changes, poor scalability, or/and sensitive to noise points. To meet these challenges, we are the first to generalise the CPD problem as a special case of the Change-Interval Detection (CID) problem. Then we propose a CID method, named iCID, based on a recent Isolation Distributional Kernel (IDK). iCID identifies the change interval if there is a high dissimilarity score between two non-homogeneous temporal adjacent intervals. The data-dependent property and finite feature map of IDK enabled iCID to efficiently identify various types of change points in data streams with the tolerance of noise points. Moreover, the proposed online and offline versions of iCID have the ability to optimise key parameter settings. The effectiveness and efficiency of iCID have been systematically verified on both synthetic and real-world datasets.
