在这项工作中，我们提出了一个具有结构性图形的新型不确定性感知对象检测框架，其中节点和边缘分别用对象及其空间语义相似性表示。具体而言，我们旨在考虑对象之间的关系，以有效地将它们背景化。为了实现这一目标，我们首先检测对象，然后测量其语义和空间距离以构建对象图，然后由图形神经网络（GNN）表示，用于完善对象的视觉CNN特征。但是，精炼CNN功能和每个对象的检测结果效率低下，可能不需要，因为其中包括不确定性低的正确预测。因此，我们建议通过将表示形式从某些对象（源）转移到有向图上的不确定对象（目标）来处理不确定的对象，而且还仅在对象上改善CNN功能，因为对象被认为是不确定的，其代表性输出来自GNN。此外，我们通过在不确定的物体上给予更大的权重来计算训练损失，以专注于改善不确定的对象预测，同时保持某些对象的高性能。我们将模型称为对象检测（UAGDET）的不确定性感知图网络。然后，我们在实验中验证了我们的大规模空中图像数据集，即DOTA，该数据集由大量对象组成，这些对象在图像中具有很小至大的对象，在该图像上，我们的对象可以改善现有对象检测网络的性能。

在实际情况下，较大的全局图的子图可以分布在多个设备或机构之间，并且仅由于隐私限制而在本地访问，尽管它们之间可能存在链接。最近，拟议的子图联合学习（FL）方法涉及跨私人本地子图的那些缺失的链接，而分布式培训图形神经网络（GNN）。但是，他们忽略了子图中的不可避免的异质性，这是由包含全球图的不同部分的子图引起的。例如，一个子图可能属于较大的全局图中的一个社区之一。在这种情况下，天真的子图FL将从训练有异质图分布的本地GNN模型中崩溃不相容的知识。为了克服这样的局限性，我们引入了一个新的子图FL问题，即个性化的子图FL，该子图专注于相互关联的本地GNN模型的联合改进，而不是学习一个单一的全球GNN模型，并提出了一个新颖的框架，并提出了一个新型的框架，并提出了一个联合的个性化次级学习（ Fed-pub），以解决它。个性化子图FL中的一个至关重要的挑战是服务器不知道每个客户端具有哪个子图。 Fed-pub因此使用随机图作为输入来计算它们之间的相似性，并使用它们执行对服务器端聚合的加权平均。此外，它在每个客户端学习一个个性化的稀疏掩码，以选择和更新聚合参数的子图相关子集。我们考虑了非重叠和重叠子图的六个数据集中的Fed-Pub在六个数据集上的子图FL性能，我们的基本上要优于相关的基线。

预训练的语言模型（PLM）在各种自然语言理解任务上取得了巨大的成功。另一方面，对PLM的简单微调对于特定于领域的任务可能是次优的，因为它们不可能涵盖所有域中的知识。尽管PLM的自适应预培训可以帮助他们获得特定于领域的知识，但需要大量的培训成本。此外，自适应预训练可能会通过造成灾难性忘记其常识来损害PLM在下游任务上的表现。为了克服PLM适应性适应性预训练的这种局限性，我们提出了一个新颖的域名适应框架，用于将PLMS创造为知识增强语言模型适应性（KALA），该框架调节了PLM的中间隐藏表示与域中的中间隐藏表示，由实体和实体和实体和实体和实体构成他们的关系事实。我们验证了Kala在问题答案中的性能，并在各个域的多个数据集上命名实体识别任务。结果表明，尽管在计算上有效，但我们的Kala在很大程度上优于适应性预训练。代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/nardien/kala/。

In robotics and computer vision communities, extensive studies have been widely conducted regarding surveillance tasks, including human detection, tracking, and motion recognition with a camera. Additionally, deep learning algorithms are widely utilized in the aforementioned tasks as in other computer vision tasks. Existing public datasets are insufficient to develop learning-based methods that handle various surveillance for outdoor and extreme situations such as harsh weather and low illuminance conditions. Therefore, we introduce a new large-scale outdoor surveillance dataset named eXtremely large-scale Multi-modAl Sensor dataset (X-MAS) containing more than 500,000 image pairs and the first-person view data annotated by well-trained annotators. Moreover, a single pair contains multi-modal data (e.g. an IR image, an RGB image, a thermal image, a depth image, and a LiDAR scan). This is the first large-scale first-person view outdoor multi-modal dataset focusing on surveillance tasks to the best of our knowledge. We present an overview of the proposed dataset with statistics and present methods of exploiting our dataset with deep learning-based algorithms. The latest information on the dataset and our study are available at https://github.com/lge-robot-navi, and the dataset will be available for download through a server.

An oft-cited open problem of federated learning is the existence of data heterogeneity at the clients. One pathway to understanding the drastic accuracy drop in federated learning is by scrutinizing the behavior of the clients' deep models on data with different levels of "difficulty", which has been left unaddressed. In this paper, we investigate a different and rarely studied dimension of FL: ordered learning. Specifically, we aim to investigate how ordered learning principles can contribute to alleviating the heterogeneity effects in FL. We present theoretical analysis and conduct extensive empirical studies on the efficacy of orderings spanning three kinds of learning: curriculum, anti-curriculum, and random curriculum. We find that curriculum learning largely alleviates non-IIDness. Interestingly, the more disparate the data distributions across clients the more they benefit from ordered learning. We provide analysis explaining this phenomenon, specifically indicating how curriculum training appears to make the objective landscape progressively less convex, suggesting fast converging iterations at the beginning of the training procedure. We derive quantitative results of convergence for both convex and nonconvex objectives by modeling the curriculum training on federated devices as local SGD with locally biased stochastic gradients. Also, inspired by ordered learning, we propose a novel client selection technique that benefits from the real-world disparity in the clients. Our proposed approach to client selection has a synergic effect when applied together with ordered learning in FL.

Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) has recently accomplished successful achievements in various fields such as image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation, which typically require a lot of labour to construct ground-truth. Especially in the depth estimation task, annotating training data is very costly and time-consuming, and thus recent SSL regime seems an attractive solution. In this paper, for the first time, we introduce a novel framework for semi-supervised learning of monocular depth estimation networks, using consistency regularization to mitigate the reliance on large ground-truth depth data. We propose a novel data augmentation approach, called K-way disjoint masking, which allows the network for learning how to reconstruct invisible regions so that the model not only becomes robust to perturbations but also generates globally consistent output depth maps. Experiments on the KITTI and NYU-Depth-v2 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of each component in our pipeline, robustness to the use of fewer and fewer annotated images, and superior results compared to other state-of-the-art, semi-supervised methods for monocular depth estimation.

While witnessing the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era and beyond, quantum federated learning (QFL) has recently become an emerging field of study. In QFL, each quantum computer or device locally trains its quantum neural network (QNN) with trainable gates, and communicates only these gate parameters over classical channels, without costly quantum communications. Towards enabling QFL under various channel conditions, in this article we develop a depth-controllable architecture of entangled slimmable quantum neural networks (eSQNNs), and propose an entangled slimmable QFL (eSQFL) that communicates the superposition-coded parameters of eS-QNNs. Compared to the existing depth-fixed QNNs, training the depth-controllable eSQNN architecture is more challenging due to high entanglement entropy and inter-depth interference, which are mitigated by introducing entanglement controlled universal (CU) gates and an inplace fidelity distillation (IPFD) regularizer penalizing inter-depth quantum state differences, respectively. Furthermore, we optimize the superposition coding power allocation by deriving and minimizing the convergence bound of eSQFL. In an image classification task, extensive simulations corroborate the effectiveness of eSQFL in terms of prediction accuracy, fidelity, and entropy compared to Vanilla QFL as well as under different channel conditions and various data distributions.

While 3D GANs have recently demonstrated the high-quality synthesis of multi-view consistent images and 3D shapes, they are mainly restricted to photo-realistic human portraits. This paper aims to extend 3D GANs to a different, but meaningful visual form: artistic portrait drawings. However, extending existing 3D GANs to drawings is challenging due to the inevitable geometric ambiguity present in drawings. To tackle this, we present Dr.3D, a novel adaptation approach that adapts an existing 3D GAN to artistic drawings. Dr.3D is equipped with three novel components to handle the geometric ambiguity: a deformation-aware 3D synthesis network, an alternating adaptation of pose estimation and image synthesis, and geometric priors. Experiments show that our approach can successfully adapt 3D GANs to drawings and enable multi-view consistent semantic editing of drawings.

We present HOReeNet, which tackles the novel task of manipulating images involving hands, objects, and their interactions. Especially, we are interested in transferring objects of source images to target images and manipulating 3D hand postures to tightly grasp the transferred objects. Furthermore, the manipulation needs to be reflected in the 2D image space. In our reenactment scenario involving hand-object interactions, 3D reconstruction becomes essential as 3D contact reasoning between hands and objects is required to achieve a tight grasp. At the same time, to obtain high-quality 2D images from 3D space, well-designed 3D-to-2D projection and image refinement are required. Our HOReeNet is the first fully differentiable framework proposed for such a task. On hand-object interaction datasets, we compared our HOReeNet to the conventional image translation algorithms and reenactment algorithm. We demonstrated that our approach could achieved the state-of-the-art on the proposed task.

Predictive simulations of the shock-to-detonation transition (SDT) in heterogeneous energetic materials (EM) are vital to the design and control of their energy release and sensitivity. Due to the complexity of the thermo-mechanics of EM during the SDT, both macro-scale response and sub-grid mesoscale energy localization must be captured accurately. This work proposes an efficient and accurate multiscale framework for SDT simulations of EM. We employ deep learning to model the mesoscale energy localization of shock-initiated EM microstructures upon which prediction results are used to supply reaction progress rate information to the macroscale SDT simulation. The proposed multiscale modeling framework is divided into two stages. First, a physics-aware recurrent convolutional neural network (PARC) is used to model the mesoscale energy localization of shock-initiated heterogeneous EM microstructures. PARC is trained using direct numerical simulations (DNS) of hotspot ignition and growth within microstructures of pressed HMX material subjected to different input shock strengths. After training, PARC is employed to supply hotspot ignition and growth rates for macroscale SDT simulations. We show that PARC can play the role of a surrogate model in a multiscale simulation framework, while drastically reducing the computation cost and providing improved representations of the sub-grid physics. The proposed multiscale modeling approach will provide a new tool for material scientists in designing high-performance and safer energetic materials.
