This paper presents a low cost PMOS-based 8T (P-8T) SRAM Compute-In-Memory (CIM) architecture that efficiently per-forms the multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations between 4-bit input activations and 8-bit weights. First, bit-line (BL) charge-sharing technique is employed to design the low-cost and reliable digital-to-analog conversion of 4-bit input activations in the pro-posed SRAM CIM, where the charge domain analog computing provides variation tolerant and linear MAC outputs. The 16 local arrays are also effectively exploited to implement the analog mul-tiplication unit (AMU) that simultaneously produces 16 multipli-cation results between 4-bit input activations and 1-bit weights. For the hardware cost reduction of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) without sacrificing DNN accuracy, hardware aware sys-tem simulations are performed to decide the ADC bit-resolutions and the number of activated rows in the proposed CIM macro. In addition, for the ADC operation, the AMU-based reference col-umns are utilized for generating ADC reference voltages, with which low-cost 4-bit coarse-fine flash ADC has been designed. The 256X80 P-8T SRAM CIM macro implementation using 28nm CMOS process shows that the proposed CIM shows the accuracies of 91.46% and 66.67% with CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 dataset, respectively, with the energy efficiency of 50.07-TOPS/W.

低剂量和高剂量CT图像的采集条件通常是不同的，因此CT数字的变化经常发生。因此，学习目标图像分布的无监督深度学习方法通常会引入CT数字扭曲，并在诊断性能中造成不利影响。为了解决这个问题，我们在这里提出了一种新颖的无监督学习方法，用于使用贴剂深度度量学习进行低水平CT重建。关键的想法是通过拉动具有相同解剖结构的图像贴片的正面对来学习嵌入空间，并推动具有相同噪声水平的负对。因此，该网络经过训练以抑制噪声水平，同时即使在图像翻译后仍保留原始的全局CT数字分布。实验结果证实，我们的深度度量学习在产生没有CT数字的高质量DeNocied图像中起着至关重要的作用。

由于相邻的节点之间的相互作用，在类不平衡的图形数据下学习无偏的节点表示具有挑战性。现有研究的共同点是，它们根据其总数（忽略图中的节点连接）来补偿次要类节点“作为组”，这不可避免地增加了主要节点的假阳性病例。我们假设这些假阳性病例的增加受到每个节点周围的标签分布的高度影响，并通过实验确认。此外，为了解决这个问题，我们提出了拓扑意识的利润率（TAM），以反映学习目标的本地拓扑。我们的方法将每个节点的连通性模式与类平均反向零件进行比较，并根据此相应地适应边缘。我们的方法始终在具有代表性GNN体系结构的各种节点分类基准数据集上表现出优于基线的优势。

混合方案表明混合一对样品以创造增强的训练样本，并最近获得了相当大的关注，以提高神经网络的普遍性。混合的简单和广泛使用的扩展是与区域辍学方法相结合：从样品中除去随机贴片并用另一个样品的特征替换。尽管它们的简单性和有效性，但这些方法易于由于它们的随机性而产生有害样品。为了解决这个问题，最近提出了“最大显着性”策略：只选择最具信息性的功能以防止这种现象。然而，他们现在缺乏样品多样化，因为它们总是确定具有最大显着性的区域，将偏置注入增强数据。在本文中，我们展示了一种新颖，简单的混合变体，捕获了两个世界的最佳变化。我们的想法是两倍。通过将特征的随机抽查和“将它们嫁接到另一个样本”，我们的方法有效地产生了多样化但有意义的样本。其第二种成分是通过以显着校准的方式混合标签来生产接枝样品的标签，这整流了随机抽样程序引入的监督误导。我们在CiFar，微小想象成和Imagenet数据集下的实验表明，我们的方案不仅在分类准确性方面优于当前的最先进的增强策略，但在数据损坏等压力条件下也是优越的对象遮挡。

图形结构的数据集通常具有不规则的图表尺寸和连接，渲染使用最近的数据增强技术，例如混合，困难。为了解决这一挑战，我们在名为曲线图移植的图形级别提供了第一个混合图形增强方法，其在数据空间中混合了不规则图。要在图形的各种尺度上定义，我们的方法将子结构标识为可以保留本地信息的混合单元。由于没有特殊考虑上下文的​​基于混合的方法易于产生噪声样本，因此我们的方法明确地使用节点显着信息来选择有意义的子图并自适应地确定标签。我们在多个图形分类基准数据集中广泛地验证了我们多样化的GNN架构，来自不同尺寸的各种图形域。实验结果显示了我们对其他基本数据增强基线的方法的一致优势。我们还证明了曲线图移植在鲁棒性和模型校准方面提高了性能。

The 3D-aware image synthesis focuses on conserving spatial consistency besides generating high-resolution images with fine details. Recently, Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) has been introduced for synthesizing novel views with low computational cost and superior performance. While several works investigate a generative NeRF and show remarkable achievement, they cannot handle conditional and continuous feature manipulation in the generation procedure. In this work, we introduce a novel model, called Class-Continuous Conditional Generative NeRF ($\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF), which can synthesize conditionally manipulated photorealistic 3D-consistent images by projecting conditional features to the generator and the discriminator. The proposed $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF is evaluated with three image datasets, AFHQ, CelebA, and Cars. As a result, our model shows strong 3D-consistency with fine details and smooth interpolation in conditional feature manipulation. For instance, $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF exhibits a Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) of 7.64 in 3D-aware face image synthesis with a $\text{128}^{2}$ resolution. Additionally, we provide FIDs of generated 3D-aware images of each class of the datasets as it is possible to synthesize class-conditional images with $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF.

In both terrestrial and marine ecology, physical tagging is a frequently used method to study population dynamics and behavior. However, such tagging techniques are increasingly being replaced by individual re-identification using image analysis. This paper introduces a contrastive learning-based model for identifying individuals. The model uses the first parts of the Inception v3 network, supported by a projection head, and we use contrastive learning to find similar or dissimilar image pairs from a collection of uniform photographs. We apply this technique for corkwing wrasse, Symphodus melops, an ecologically and commercially important fish species. Photos are taken during repeated catches of the same individuals from a wild population, where the intervals between individual sightings might range from a few days to several years. Our model achieves a one-shot accuracy of 0.35, a 5-shot accuracy of 0.56, and a 100-shot accuracy of 0.88, on our dataset.

Feature selection helps reduce data acquisition costs in ML, but the standard approach is to train models with static feature subsets. Here, we consider the dynamic feature selection (DFS) problem where a model sequentially queries features based on the presently available information. DFS is often addressed with reinforcement learning (RL), but we explore a simpler approach of greedily selecting features based on their conditional mutual information. This method is theoretically appealing but requires oracle access to the data distribution, so we develop a learning approach based on amortized optimization. The proposed method is shown to recover the greedy policy when trained to optimality and outperforms numerous existing feature selection methods in our experiments, thus validating it as a simple but powerful approach for this problem.

The purpose of this work was to tackle practical issues which arise when using a tendon-driven robotic manipulator with a long, passive, flexible proximal section in medical applications. A separable robot which overcomes difficulties in actuation and sterilization is introduced, in which the body containing the electronics is reusable and the remainder is disposable. A control input which resolves the redundancy in the kinematics and a physical interpretation of this redundancy are provided. The effect of a static change in the proximal section angle on bending angle error was explored under four testing conditions for a sinusoidal input. Bending angle error increased for increasing proximal section angle for all testing conditions with an average error reduction of 41.48% for retension, 4.28% for hysteresis, and 52.35% for re-tension + hysteresis compensation relative to the baseline case. Two major sources of error in tracking the bending angle were identified: time delay from hysteresis and DC offset from the proximal section angle. Examination of these error sources revealed that the simple hysteresis compensation was most effective for removing time delay and re-tension compensation for removing DC offset, which was the primary source of increasing error. The re-tension compensation was also tested for dynamic changes in the proximal section and reduced error in the final configuration of the tip by 89.14% relative to the baseline case.

According to the rapid development of drone technologies, drones are widely used in many applications including military domains. In this paper, a novel situation-aware DRL- based autonomous nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm in cyber-physical loitering munition applications. On the battlefield, the design of DRL-based autonomous control algorithm is not straightforward because real-world data gathering is generally not available. Therefore, the approach in this paper is that cyber-physical virtual environment is constructed with Unity environment. Based on the virtual cyber-physical battlefield scenarios, a DRL-based automated nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm can be designed, evaluated, and visualized. Moreover, many obstacles exist which is harmful for linear trajectory control in real-world battlefield scenarios. Thus, our proposed autonomous nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm utilizes situation-aware components those are implemented with a Raycast function in Unity virtual scenarios. Based on the gathered situation-aware information, the drone can autonomously and nonlinearly adjust its trajectory during flight. Therefore, this approach is obviously beneficial for avoiding obstacles in obstacle-deployed battlefields. Our visualization-based performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm is superior from the other linear mobility control algorithms.
