In this paper, we present a robust and low complexity deep learning model for Remote Sensing Image Classification (RSIC), the task of identifying the scene of a remote sensing image. In particular, we firstly evaluate different low complexity and benchmark deep neural networks: MobileNetV1, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, and EfficientNetB0, which present the number of trainable parameters lower than 5 Million (M). After indicating best network architecture, we further improve the network performance by applying attention schemes to multiple feature maps extracted from middle layers of the network. To deal with the issue of increasing the model footprint as using attention schemes, we apply the quantization technique to satisfies the number trainable parameter of the model lower than 5 M. By conducting extensive experiments on the benchmark datasets NWPU-RESISC45, we achieve a robust and low-complexity model, which is very competitive to the state-of-the-art systems and potential for real-life applications on edge devices.

We introduce an approach for the answer-aware question generation problem. Instead of only relying on the capability of strong pre-trained language models, we observe that the information of answers and questions can be found in some relevant sentences in the context. Based on that, we design a model which includes two modules: a selector and a generator. The selector forces the model to more focus on relevant sentences regarding an answer to provide implicit local information. The generator generates questions by implicitly combining local information from the selector and global information from the whole context encoded by the encoder. The model is trained jointly to take advantage of latent interactions between the two modules. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets show that our model is better than strong pre-trained models for the question generation task. The code is also available (shorturl.at/lV567).

如今，随着发现的OSS漏洞的数量，开源软件（OSS）漏洞管理流程随着时间的流逝而增加。监视漏洞固定提交是防止脆弱性开发的标准过程的一部分。但是，由于可能有大量的审查，手动检测漏洞固定的犯罪是耗时的。最近，已经提出了许多技术来自动检测使用机器学习的漏洞固定提交。这些解决方案要么：（1）不使用深度学习，或（2）仅对有限的信息来源使用深度学习。本文提出了藤条，该工具利用了更丰富的信息来源，包括提交消息，代码更改和针对漏洞固定的提交分类的报告。我们的实验结果表明，在F1得分方面，沃尔维尔剂的表现优于最先进的基线。 Vulcurator工具可在https://github.com/ntgiang71096/vfdetector和https://zenodo.org/record/7034132#.yw3mn-xbzdi上公开获得。

构建静态呼叫图需要在健全和精度之间进行权衡。不幸的是，用于构建呼叫图的程序分析技术通常不精确。为了解决这个问题，研究人员最近提出了通过机器学习为静态分析构建的后处理呼叫图所授权的呼叫图。机器学习模型的构建是为了通过在随机森林分类器中提取结构特征来捕获呼叫图中的信息。然后，它消除了预测为误报的边缘。尽管机器学习模型显示了改进，但它们仍然受到限制，因为它们不考虑源代码语义，因此通常无法有效地区分真实和误报。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的呼叫图修剪技术AutoRoprouner，用于通过统计语义和结构分析消除呼叫图中的假阳性。给定一个由传统静态分析工具构建的呼叫图，AutoProuner采用基于变压器的方法来捕获呼叫者与呼叫图中每个边缘相关的呼叫者和Callee函数之间的语义关系。为此，AutoProuner微型调节模型是在大型语料库上预先训练的代码模型，以根据其语义的描述表示源代码。接下来，该模型用于从与呼叫图中的每个边缘相关的功能中提取语义特征。 AutoProuner使用这些语义功能以及从呼叫图提取的结构特征通过馈送前向神经网络分类。我们在现实世界程序的基准数据集上进行的经验评估表明，AutoProuner的表现优于最先进的基线，从而改善了F量级，在识别静态呼叫图中识别错误阳性边缘方面，高达13％。

深度学习已被广​​泛用于医学图像细分和其他方面。但是，现有的医学图像分割模型的性能受到获得足够数量的高质量数据的挑战的限制。为了克服限制，我们提出了一个新的视觉医学图像分割模型LVIT（语言符合视觉变压器）。在我们的模型中，引入了医学文本注释，以弥补图像数据的质量缺陷。此外，文本信息可以在一定程度上指导伪标签的产生，并进一步保证半监督学习中伪标签的质量。我们还提出了指数伪标签迭代机制（EPI），以帮助扩展LVIT和像素级注意模块（PLAM）的半监督版本，以保留图像的局部特征。在我们的模型中，LV（语言视觉）损失旨在直接使用文本信息监督未标记图像的培训。为了验证LVIT的性能，我们构建了包含病理图像，X射线等的多模式医学分割数据集（图像 +文本）。实验结果表明，我们提出的LVIT在完全和半监督条件下具有更好的分割性能。代码和数据集可在https://github.com/huanglizi/lvit上找到。

Existing federated classification algorithms typically assume the local annotations at every client cover the same set of classes. In this paper, we aim to lift such an assumption and focus on a more general yet practical non-IID setting where every client can work on non-identical and even disjoint sets of classes (i.e., client-exclusive classes), and the clients have a common goal which is to build a global classification model to identify the union of these classes. Such heterogeneity in client class sets poses a new challenge: how to ensure different clients are operating in the same latent space so as to avoid the drift after aggregation? We observe that the classes can be described in natural languages (i.e., class names) and these names are typically safe to share with all parties. Thus, we formulate the classification problem as a matching process between data representations and class representations and break the classification model into a data encoder and a label encoder. We leverage the natural-language class names as the common ground to anchor the class representations in the label encoder. In each iteration, the label encoder updates the class representations and regulates the data representations through matching. We further use the updated class representations at each round to annotate data samples for locally-unaware classes according to similarity and distill knowledge to local models. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets show that the proposed method can outperform various classical and state-of-the-art federated learning methods designed for learning with non-IID data.

This is paper for the smooth function approximation by neural networks (NN). Mathematical or physical functions can be replaced by NN models through regression. In this study, we get NNs that generate highly accurate and highly smooth function, which only comprised of a few weight parameters, through discussing a few topics about regression. First, we reinterpret inside of NNs for regression; consequently, we propose a new activation function--integrated sigmoid linear unit (ISLU). Then special charateristics of metadata for regression, which is different from other data like image or sound, is discussed for improving the performance of neural networks. Finally, the one of a simple hierarchical NN that generate models substituting mathematical function is presented, and the new batch concept ``meta-batch" which improves the performance of NN several times more is introduced. The new activation function, meta-batch method, features of numerical data, meta-augmentation with metaparameters, and a structure of NN generating a compact multi-layer perceptron(MLP) are essential in this study.

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.

Time-series anomaly detection is an important task and has been widely applied in the industry. Since manual data annotation is expensive and inefficient, most applications adopt unsupervised anomaly detection methods, but the results are usually sub-optimal and unsatisfactory to end customers. Weak supervision is a promising paradigm for obtaining considerable labels in a low-cost way, which enables the customers to label data by writing heuristic rules rather than annotating each instance individually. However, in the time-series domain, it is hard for people to write reasonable labeling functions as the time-series data is numerically continuous and difficult to be understood. In this paper, we propose a Label-Efficient Interactive Time-Series Anomaly Detection (LEIAD) system, which enables a user to improve the results of unsupervised anomaly detection by performing only a small amount of interactions with the system. To achieve this goal, the system integrates weak supervision and active learning collaboratively while generating labeling functions automatically using only a few labeled data. All of these techniques are complementary and can promote each other in a reinforced manner. We conduct experiments on three time-series anomaly detection datasets, demonstrating that the proposed system is superior to existing solutions in both weak supervision and active learning areas. Also, the system has been tested in a real scenario in industry to show its practicality.

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.
