大多数现有对象检测工作都是基于边界框注释：每个对象都有一个精确的注释框。然而，对于肋骨骨折，边界盒注释非常有劳动力密集型且耗时，因为放射科医生需要以切片为基础调查和注释肋骨骨折。尽管一些研究提出了弱监督的方法或半监督方法，但他们不能同时处理不同形式的监督。在本文中，我们提出了一个新颖的Omni监督对象检测网络，该网络可以利用多种不同形式的注释数据以进一步改善检测性能。具体而言，所提出的网络包含一个监督的检测头，其中每种形式的注释数据对应于唯一的分类分支。此外，我们为不同的注释数据形式提出了动态标签分配策略，以促进每个分支的更好学习。此外，我们还设计了一种自信的分类损失，以高度信心强调样本并进一步改善模型的性能。在测试数据集上进行的广泛实验表明，我们所提出的方法始终超过其他最先进的方法，这证明了深度全米诺的学习对改善肋骨断裂检测性能的功效。

经常报告深度学习模型以从数据集偏见等快捷方式中学习。由于深度学习在现代医疗保健系统中起着越来越重要的作用，因此在医疗数据中与快捷方式学习以及发展公正和可信赖的模型非常需要。在本文中，我们研究了从有偏见的训练数据中开发出偏见的胸部X射线诊断模型的问题，而又不知道偏置标签。我们从观察到偏见分布的不平衡是引起快捷键学习的关键原因之一，并且模型比预期的功能更容易学习，而数据集偏见则由模型偏爱。基于这些观察结果，我们提出了一种新型算法，即伪平衡的学习，该学习首先通过广义跨熵损失捕获并预测每样本偏差标签，然后使用伪偏置标签和偏见平衡的软性软性功能来训练一个模型。我们使用各种数据集偏置情况构建了几个胸部X射线数据集，并通过广泛的实验证明了我们所提出的方法对其他最新方法进行了一致的改进。

使用X光片级注释（是或否疾病）和细粒病变级注释（病变边界框）开发了两个DL模型，分别为Chexnet和ChexDet。在测试集（n = 2,922）中比较了模型的内部分类性能和病变定位性能，在NIH-Google（n = 4,376）和Padchest（n = 24,536）数据集上比较了外部分类性能，以及外部病变的本地化性能性能在NIH-Chestx-Ray14数据集（n = 880）上进行了比较。还将模型与内部测试集子集的放射学家进行了比较（n = 496）。鉴于足够的训练数据，这两个模型都与放射科医生相当。 CHEXDET对外部分类有了显着改善，例如在NIH-Google上分类（ROC曲线下的ChexDet区域[AUC]：0.67：Chexnet AUC：0.51; P <.001）和PadChest（ChexDet AUC：0.78，Chexnet AUC，Chexnet AUC，Chexnet AUC，Chexnet auc：chexnet auc auc：chexnet auc auc auc：0.78，chexnet auc auc： ：0.55; p <.001）。对于所有数据集的大多数异常，例如在内部集合中检测气胸（Chexdet Jacknife替代自由响应ROC的功绩[JAFROC-FOM]：0.87，0.87，CHEXNET JAFROC-FOM：0.113） ; p <.001）和NIH-Chestx-Ray14（Chexdet Jafroc-fom：0.55，Chexnet Jafroc-fom：0.04; p <.001）。总结，细粒的注释克服了快捷方式学习并启用了DL模型，以识别正确的病变模式，从而改善模型的概括性。

Weakly-supervised object localization aims to indicate the category as well as the scope of an object in an image given only the image-level labels. Most of the existing works are based on Class Activation Mapping (CAM) and endeavor to enlarge the discriminative area inside the activation map to perceive the whole object, yet ignore the co-occurrence confounder of the object and context (e.g., fish and water), which makes the model inspection hard to distinguish object boundaries. Besides, the use of CAM also brings a dilemma problem that the classification and localization always suffer from a performance gap and can not reach their highest accuracy simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a casual knowledge distillation method, dubbed KD-CI-CAM, to address these two under-explored issues in one go. More specifically, we tackle the co-occurrence context confounder problem via causal intervention (CI), which explores the causalities among image features, contexts, and categories to eliminate the biased object-context entanglement in the class activation maps. Based on the de-biased object feature, we additionally propose a multi-teacher causal distillation framework to balance the absorption of classification knowledge and localization knowledge during model training. Extensive experiments on several benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of KD-CI-CAM in learning clear object boundaries from confounding contexts and addressing the dilemma problem between classification and localization performance.

In this paper, a semantic communication framework for image transmission is developed. In the investigated framework, a set of servers cooperatively transmit images to a set of users utilizing semantic communication techniques. To evaluate the performance of studied semantic communication system, a multimodal metric is proposed to measure the correlation between the extracted semantic information and the original image. To meet the ISS requirement of each user, each server must jointly determine the semantic information to be transmitted and the resource blocks (RBs) used for semantic information transmission. We formulate this problem as an optimization problem aiming to minimize each server's transmission latency while reaching the ISS requirement. To solve this problem, a value decomposition based entropy-maximized multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) is proposed, which enables servers to coordinate for training and execute RB allocation in a distributed manner to approach to a globally optimal performance with less training iterations. Compared to traditional multi-agent RL, the proposed RL improves the valuable action exploration of servers and the probability of finding a globally optimal RB allocation policy based on local observation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the transmission delay by up to 16.1% compared to traditional multi-agent RL.

New architecture GPUs like A100 are now equipped with multi-instance GPU (MIG) technology, which allows the GPU to be partitioned into multiple small, isolated instances. This technology provides more flexibility for users to support both deep learning training and inference workloads, but efficiently utilizing it can still be challenging. The vision of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive and practical benchmark study for MIG in order to eliminate the need for tedious manual benchmarking and tuning efforts. To achieve this vision, the paper presents MIGPerf, an open-source tool that streamlines the benchmark study for MIG. Using MIGPerf, the authors conduct a series of experiments, including deep learning training and inference characterization on MIG, GPU sharing characterization, and framework compatibility with MIG. The results of these experiments provide new insights and guidance for users to effectively employ MIG, and lay the foundation for further research on the orchestration of hybrid training and inference workloads on MIGs. The code and results are released on https://github.com/MLSysOps/MIGProfiler. This work is still in progress and more results will be published soon.

With the development of technology and sharing economy, Airbnb as a famous short-term rental platform, has become the first choice for many young people to select. The issue of Airbnb's pricing has always been a problem worth studying. While the previous studies achieve promising results, there are exists deficiencies to solve. Such as, (1) the feature attributes of rental are not rich enough; (2) the research on rental text information is not deep enough; (3) there are few studies on predicting the rental price combined with the point of interest(POI) around the house. To address the above challenges, we proposes a multi-source information embedding(MSIE) model to predict the rental price of Airbnb. Specifically, we first selects the statistical feature to embed the original rental data. Secondly, we generates the word feature vector and emotional score combination of three different text information to form the text feature embedding. Thirdly, we uses the points of interest(POI) around the rental house information generates a variety of spatial network graphs, and learns the embedding of the network to obtain the spatial feature embedding. Finally, this paper combines the three modules into multi source rental representations, and uses the constructed fully connected neural network to predict the price. The analysis of the experimental results shows the effectiveness of our proposed model.

Domain adaptive detection aims to improve the generalization of detectors on target domain. To reduce discrepancy in feature distributions between two domains, recent approaches achieve domain adaption through feature alignment in different granularities via adversarial learning. However, they neglect the relationship between multiple granularities and different features in alignment, degrading detection. Addressing this, we introduce a unified multi-granularity alignment (MGA)-based detection framework for domain-invariant feature learning. The key is to encode the dependencies across different granularities including pixel-, instance-, and category-levels simultaneously to align two domains. Specifically, based on pixel-level features, we first develop an omni-scale gated fusion (OSGF) module to aggregate discriminative representations of instances with scale-aware convolutions, leading to robust multi-scale detection. Besides, we introduce multi-granularity discriminators to identify where, either source or target domains, different granularities of samples come from. Note that, MGA not only leverages instance discriminability in different categories but also exploits category consistency between two domains for detection. Furthermore, we present an adaptive exponential moving average (AEMA) strategy that explores model assessments for model update to improve pseudo labels and alleviate local misalignment problem, boosting detection robustness. Extensive experiments on multiple domain adaption scenarios validate the superiority of MGA over other approaches on FCOS and Faster R-CNN detectors. Code will be released at https://github.com/tiankongzhang/MGA.

Although deep learning has made remarkable progress in processing various types of data such as images, text and speech, they are known to be susceptible to adversarial perturbations: perturbations specifically designed and added to the input to make the target model produce erroneous output. Most of the existing studies on generating adversarial perturbations attempt to perturb the entire input indiscriminately. In this paper, we propose ExploreADV, a general and flexible adversarial attack system that is capable of modeling regional and imperceptible attacks, allowing users to explore various kinds of adversarial examples as needed. We adapt and combine two existing boundary attack methods, DeepFool and Brendel\&Bethge Attack, and propose a mask-constrained adversarial attack system, which generates minimal adversarial perturbations under the pixel-level constraints, namely ``mask-constraints''. We study different ways of generating such mask-constraints considering the variance and importance of the input features, and show that our adversarial attack system offers users good flexibility to focus on sub-regions of inputs, explore imperceptible perturbations and understand the vulnerability of pixels/regions to adversarial attacks. We demonstrate our system to be effective based on extensive experiments and user study.

Depression is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the diagnosis of depression is nontrivial. Multimodal learning is a popular solution for automatic diagnosis of depression, and the existing works suffer two main drawbacks: 1) the high-order interactions between different modalities can not be well exploited; and 2) interpretability of the models are weak. To remedy these drawbacks, we propose a multimodal multi-order factor fusion (MMFF) method. Our method can well exploit the high-order interactions between different modalities by extracting and assembling modality factors under the guide of a shared latent proxy. We conduct extensive experiments on two recent and popular datasets, E-DAIC-WOZ and CMDC, and the results show that our method achieve significantly better performance compared with other existing approaches. Besides, by analyzing the process of factor assembly, our model can intuitively show the contribution of each factor. This helps us understand the fusion mechanism.
