少量学习仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题，对于大多数现实世界数据来说，令人不满意的1次射击准确性。在这里，我们在深网络的特征空间中提出了不同的透视数据分布，并展示如何利用它以用于几次拍摄学习。首先，我们观察到特征空间中的最近邻居具有相同类的高概率成员，而来自一个类的通常两个随机点并不多于来自来自不同类别的点。此观察结果表明，特征空间中的类别稀疏，松散连接的图形而不是密集的簇。要利用此属性，我们建议使用少量标签传播到未标记的空间，然后使用内核PCA重建错误作为每个类的特征空间数据分布的决策边界。使用这种方法，我们称之为“k-prop”，我们展示了很大程度上改善了几秒钟学习表演（例如，在Resisc45卫星图像数据集上的1-Shot 5路分类的83％的准确性）用于骨干网的数据集网络可以培训高级最近邻近常数概率。我们使用六个不同的数据集展示这种关系。

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a behavior disorder that onsets in childhood and is characterized by the expression of involuntary movements and sounds commonly referred to as tics. Behavioral therapy is the first-line treatment for patients with TS, and it helps patients raise awareness about tic occurrence as well as develop tic inhibition strategies. However, the limited availability of therapists and the difficulties for in-home follow up work limits its effectiveness. An automatic tic detection system that is easy to deploy could alleviate the difficulties of home-therapy by providing feedback to the patients while exercising tic awareness. In this work, we propose a novel architecture (T-Net) for automatic tic detection and classification from untrimmed videos. T-Net combines temporal detection and segmentation and operates on features that are interpretable to a clinician. We compare T-Net to several state-of-the-art systems working on deep features extracted from the raw videos and T-Net achieves comparable performance in terms of average precision while relying on interpretable features needed in clinical practice.

文本VQA旨在回答需要了解图像中文本提示的问题。尽管现有的文本VQA方法取得了长足的进步，但它们的性能仍遭受了人类标记的问题解答（QA）对不足。但是，我们观察到，通常在现有数据集中没有完全利用场景文本 - 每个图像中只有一小部分文本参与了带注释的QA活动。这导致大量有用的信息浪费。为了解决这种缺陷，我们开发了一种新方法来通过明确利用每个图像的场景上下文中可用的现有文本来生成高质量和多样化的质量质量对。具体而言，我们建议，TAG是一种文本感知的视觉问题 - 答案生成的结构，该结构学会使用多模式变压器来生成有意义且准确的QA样品。该体系结构通过将生成的QA对与初始培训数据相结合，从而利用了未充满激光的场景文本信息，并增强了文本VQA模型的场景理解。对两个众所周知的Text-VQA基准（TextVQA和ST-VQA）的广泛实验结果表明，我们提议的标签有效地扩大了训练数据，有助于提高文本VQA性能而无需额外的标签努力。此外，我们的模型优于预先通过大规模数据进行训练的最先进方法。代码将公开可用。

核密度估计（KDE）是使用最广泛的非参数密度估计方法之一。它是一种基于内存的方法，即它将整个培训数据集用于预测，这使其不适合大多数当前的大数据应用程序。已经提出了几种策略，例如基于树或基于哈希的估计器，以提高内核密度估计方法的效率。新型密度内核密度估计方法（DMKDE）使用密度矩阵，量子机械形式主义和随机傅立叶特征（显式内核近似）来产生密度估计。该方法的根源在KDE中，可以被视为近似方法，而无需基于内存的限制。在本文中，我们系统地评估了新型DMKDE算法，并将其与其他最新的快速程序进行比较，以近似于不同合成数据集的内核密度估计方法。我们的实验结果表明，在高维数据上执行时，显示了DMKDE与其竞争对手的计算密度估计和优势相提并论。我们将所有代码作为开源软件存储库提供。

数值验证是机器学习研究的核心，因为它允许评估新方法的实际影响，并确认理论和实践之间的一致性。然而，该领域的快速发展构成了一些挑战：研究人员面临着大量的方法来比较，有限的透明度和最佳实践的共识以及乏味的重新实施工作。结果，验证通常是非常部分的，这可能会导致错误的结论，从而减慢研究的进展。我们提出了Benchopt，这是一个协作框架，旨在在跨编程语言和硬件体系结构的机器学习中自动化，复制和发布优化基准。 Benchopt通过提供用于运行，共享和扩展实验的现成工具来简化社区的基准测试。为了展示其广泛的可用性，我们在三个标准学习任务上展示基准：$ \ ell_2 $ regulaine的逻辑回归，套索和RESNET18用于图像分类的培训。这些基准强调了关键的实际发现，这些发现对这些问题的最新问题更加细微，这表明在实际评估中，魔鬼在细节上。我们希望Benchopt能在社区中促进合作工作，从而改善研究结果的可重复性。

深度学习（DL）模型为各种医学成像基准挑战提供了最先进的性能，包括脑肿瘤细分（BRATS）挑战。然而，局灶性病理多隔室分割（例如，肿瘤和病变子区）的任务特别具有挑战性，并且潜在的错误阻碍DL模型转化为临床工作流程。量化不确定形式的DL模型预测的可靠性，可以实现最不确定的地区的临床审查，从而建立信任并铺平临床翻译。最近，已经引入了许多不确定性估计方法，用于DL医学图像分割任务。开发指标评估和比较不确定性措施的表现将有助于最终用户制定更明智的决策。在本研究中，我们探索并评估在Brats 2019-2020任务期间开发的公制，以对不确定量化量化（Qu-Brats），并旨在评估和排列脑肿瘤多隔室分割的不确定性估计。该公制（1）奖励不确定性估计，对正确断言产生高置信度，以及在不正确的断言处分配低置信水平的估计数，（2）惩罚导致更高百分比的无关正确断言百分比的不确定性措施。我们进一步基准测试由14个独立参与的Qu-Brats 2020的分割不确定性，所有这些都参与了主要的Brats细分任务。总体而言，我们的研究结果证实了不确定性估计提供了分割算法的重要性和互补价值，因此突出了医学图像分析中不确定性量化的需求。我们的评估代码在HTTPS://github.com/ragmeh11/qu-brats公开提供。

The recent increase in public and academic interest in preserving biodiversity has led to the growth of the field of conservation technology. This field involves designing and constructing tools that utilize technology to aid in the conservation of wildlife. In this article, we will use case studies to demonstrate the importance of designing conservation tools with human-wildlife interaction in mind and provide a framework for creating successful tools. These case studies include a range of complexities, from simple cat collars to machine learning and game theory methodologies. Our goal is to introduce and inform current and future researchers in the field of conservation technology and provide references for educating the next generation of conservation technologists. Conservation technology not only has the potential to benefit biodiversity but also has broader impacts on fields such as sustainability and environmental protection. By using innovative technologies to address conservation challenges, we can find more effective and efficient solutions to protect and preserve our planet's resources.

This paper presents a machine learning approach to multidimensional item response theory (MIRT), a class of latent factor models that can be used to model and predict student performance from observed assessment data. Inspired by collaborative filtering, we define a general class of models that includes many MIRT models. We discuss the use of penalized joint maximum likelihood (JML) to estimate individual models and cross-validation to select the best performing model. This model evaluation process can be optimized using batching techniques, such that even sparse large-scale data can be analyzed efficiently. We illustrate our approach with simulated and real data, including an example from a massive open online course (MOOC). The high-dimensional model fit to this large and sparse dataset does not lend itself well to traditional methods of factor interpretation. By analogy to recommender-system applications, we propose an alternative "validation" of the factor model, using auxiliary information about the popularity of items consulted during an open-book exam in the course.

Real-world robotic grasping can be done robustly if a complete 3D Point Cloud Data (PCD) of an object is available. However, in practice, PCDs are often incomplete when objects are viewed from few and sparse viewpoints before the grasping action, leading to the generation of wrong or inaccurate grasp poses. We propose a novel grasping strategy, named 3DSGrasp, that predicts the missing geometry from the partial PCD to produce reliable grasp poses. Our proposed PCD completion network is a Transformer-based encoder-decoder network with an Offset-Attention layer. Our network is inherently invariant to the object pose and point's permutation, which generates PCDs that are geometrically consistent and completed properly. Experiments on a wide range of partial PCD show that 3DSGrasp outperforms the best state-of-the-art method on PCD completion tasks and largely improves the grasping success rate in real-world scenarios. The code and dataset will be made available upon acceptance.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) captures cross-sectional data and is used for the screening, monitoring, and treatment planning of retinal diseases. Technological developments to increase the speed of acquisition often results in systems with a narrower spectral bandwidth, and hence a lower axial resolution. Traditionally, image-processing-based techniques have been utilized to reconstruct subsampled OCT data and more recently, deep-learning-based methods have been explored. In this study, we simulate reduced axial scan (A-scan) resolution by Gaussian windowing in the spectral domain and investigate the use of a learning-based approach for image feature reconstruction. In anticipation of the reduced resolution that accompanies wide-field OCT systems, we build upon super-resolution techniques to explore methods to better aid clinicians in their decision-making to improve patient outcomes, by reconstructing lost features using a pixel-to-pixel approach with an altered super-resolution generative adversarial network (SRGAN) architecture.
