Delimiting salt inclusions from migrated images is a time-consuming activity that relies on highly human-curated analysis and is subject to interpretation errors or limitations of the methods available. We propose to use migrated images produced from an inaccurate velocity model (with a reasonable approximation of sediment velocity, but without salt inclusions) to predict the correct salt inclusions shape using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our approach relies on subsurface Common Image Gathers to focus the sediments' reflections around the zero offset and to spread the energy of salt reflections over large offsets. Using synthetic data, we trained a U-Net to use common-offset subsurface images as input channels for the CNN and the correct salt-masks as network output. The network learned to predict the salt inclusions masks with high accuracy; moreover, it also performed well when applied to synthetic benchmark data sets that were not previously introduced. Our training process tuned the U-Net to successfully learn the shape of complex salt bodies from partially focused subsurface offset images.

We describe a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) that simulates the flow induced by the astronomical tide in a synthetic port channel, with dimensions based on the Santos - S\~ao Vicente - Bertioga Estuarine System. PINN models aim to combine the knowledge of physical systems and data-driven machine learning models. This is done by training a neural network to minimize the residuals of the governing equations in sample points. In this work, our flow is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations with some approximations. There are two main novelties in this paper. First, we design our model to assume that the flow is periodic in time, which is not feasible in conventional simulation methods. Second, we evaluate the benefit of resampling the function evaluation points during training, which has a near zero computational cost and has been verified to improve the final model, especially for small batch sizes. Finally, we discuss some limitations of the approximations used in the Navier-Stokes equations regarding the modeling of turbulence and how it interacts with PINNs.

研究人员通常会采用数值方法来理解和预测海洋动力学，这是掌握环境现象的关键任务。在地形图很复杂，有关基础过程的知识不完整或应用程序至关重要的情况下，此类方法可能不适合。另一方面，如果观察到海洋动力学，则可以通过最近的机器学习方法来利用它们。在本文中，我们描述了一种数据驱动的方法，可以预测环境变量，例如巴西东南海岸的Santos-Sao Vicente-Bertioga estuarine系统的当前速度和海面高度。我们的模型通过连接最新的序列模型（LSTM和Transformers）以及关系模型（图神经网络）来利用时间和空间归纳偏见，以学习时间特征和空间特征，观察站点之间共享的关系。我们将结果与桑托斯运营预测系统（SOFS）进行比较。实验表明，我们的模型可以实现更好的结果，同时保持灵活性和很少的领域知识依赖性。

In the last decade, exponential data growth supplied machine learning-based algorithms' capacity and enabled their usage in daily-life activities. Additionally, such an improvement is partially explained due to the advent of deep learning techniques, i.e., stacks of simple architectures that end up in more complex models. Although both factors produce outstanding results, they also pose drawbacks regarding the learning process as training complex models over large datasets are expensive and time-consuming. Such a problem is even more evident when dealing with video analysis. Some works have considered transfer learning or domain adaptation, i.e., approaches that map the knowledge from one domain to another, to ease the training burden, yet most of them operate over individual or small blocks of frames. This paper proposes a novel approach to map the knowledge from action recognition to event recognition using an energy-based model, denoted as Spectral Deep Belief Network. Such a model can process all frames simultaneously, carrying spatial and temporal information through the learning process. The experimental results conducted over two public video dataset, the HMDB-51 and the UCF-101, depict the effectiveness of the proposed model and its reduced computational burden when compared to traditional energy-based models, such as Restricted Boltzmann Machines and Deep Belief Networks.

The 1$^{\text{st}}$ Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) 2023 focused on maritime computer vision for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and organized several subchallenges in this domain: (i) UAV-based Maritime Object Detection, (ii) UAV-based Maritime Object Tracking, (iii) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Segmentation and (iv) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Detection. The subchallenges were based on the SeaDronesSee and MODS benchmarks. This report summarizes the main findings of the individual subchallenges and introduces a new benchmark, called SeaDronesSee Object Detection v2, which extends the previous benchmark by including more classes and footage. We provide statistical and qualitative analyses, and assess trends in the best-performing methodologies of over 130 submissions. The methods are summarized in the appendix. The datasets, evaluation code and the leaderboard are publicly available at https://seadronessee.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/macvi.

Chronic pain is a multi-dimensional experience, and pain intensity plays an important part, impacting the patients emotional balance, psychology, and behaviour. Standard self-reporting tools, such as the Visual Analogue Scale for pain, fail to capture this burden. Moreover, this type of tools is susceptible to a degree of subjectivity, dependent on the patients clear understanding of how to use it, social biases, and their ability to translate a complex experience to a scale. To overcome these and other self-reporting challenges, pain intensity estimation has been previously studied based on facial expressions, electroencephalograms, brain imaging, and autonomic features. However, to the best of our knowledge, it has never been attempted to base this estimation on the patient narratives of the personal experience of chronic pain, which is what we propose in this work. Indeed, in the clinical assessment and management of chronic pain, verbal communication is essential to convey information to physicians that would otherwise not be easily accessible through standard reporting tools, since language, sociocultural, and psychosocial variables are intertwined. We show that language features from patient narratives indeed convey information relevant for pain intensity estimation, and that our computational models can take advantage of that. Specifically, our results show that patients with mild pain focus more on the use of verbs, whilst moderate and severe pain patients focus on adverbs, and nouns and adjectives, respectively, and that these differences allow for the distinction between these three pain classes.

机器学习潜力是分子模拟的重要工具，但是由于缺乏高质量数据集来训练它们的发展，它们的开发阻碍了它们。我们描述了Spice数据集，这是一种新的量子化学数据集，用于训练与模拟与蛋白质相互作用的药物样的小分子相关的潜在。它包含超过110万个小分子，二聚体，二肽和溶剂化氨基酸的构象。它包括15个元素，带电和未充电的分子以及广泛的共价和非共价相互作用。它提供了在{\ omega} b97m-d3（bj）/def2-tzVPPD理论水平以及其他有用的数量（例如多极矩和键阶）上计算出的力和能量。我们在其上训练一组机器学习潜力，并证明它们可以在化学空间的广泛区域中实现化学精度。它可以作为创建可转移的，准备使用潜在功能用于分子模拟的宝贵资源。

关于使用ML模型的一个基本问题涉及其对提高决策透明度的预测的解释。尽管已经出现了几种可解释性方法，但已经确定了有关其解释可靠性的一些差距。例如，大多数方法都是不稳定的（这意味着它们在数据中提供了截然不同的解释），并且不能很好地应对无关的功能（即与标签无关的功能）。本文介绍了两种新的可解释性方法，即Varimp和Supclus，它们通过使用局部回归拟合的加权距离来克服这些问题，以考虑可变重要性。 Varimp生成了每个实例的解释，可以应用于具有更复杂关系的数据集，而Supclus解释了具有类似说明的实例集群，并且可以应用于可以找到群集的较简单数据集。我们将我们的方法与最先进的方法进行了比较，并表明它可以根据几个指标产生更好的解释，尤其是在具有无关特征的高维问题中，以及特征与目标之间的关系是非线性的。

ICECUBE是一种用于检测1 GEV和1 PEV之间大气和天体中微子的光学传感器的立方公斤阵列，该阵列已部署1.45 km至2.45 km的南极的冰盖表面以下1.45 km至2.45 km。来自ICE探测器的事件的分类和重建在ICeCube数据分析中起着核心作用。重建和分类事件是一个挑战，这是由于探测器的几何形状，不均匀的散射和冰中光的吸收，并且低于100 GEV的光，每个事件产生的信号光子数量相对较少。为了应对这一挑战，可以将ICECUBE事件表示为点云图形，并将图形神经网络（GNN）作为分类和重建方法。 GNN能够将中微子事件与宇宙射线背景区分开，对不同的中微子事件类型进行分类，并重建沉积的能量，方向和相互作用顶点。基于仿真，我们提供了1-100 GEV能量范围的比较与当前ICECUBE分析中使用的当前最新最大似然技术，包括已知系统不确定性的影响。对于中微子事件分类，与当前的IceCube方法相比，GNN以固定的假阳性速率（FPR）提高了信号效率的18％。另外，GNN在固定信号效率下将FPR的降低超过8（低于半百分比）。对于能源，方向和相互作用顶点的重建，与当前最大似然技术相比，分辨率平均提高了13％-20％。当在GPU上运行时，GNN能够以几乎是2.7 kHz的中位数ICECUBE触发速率的速率处理ICECUBE事件，这打开了在在线搜索瞬态事件中使用低能量中微子的可能性。

社会机器人的快速发展刺激了人类运动建模，解释和预测，主动碰撞，人类机器人相互作用和共享空间中共同损害的积极研究。现代方法的目标需要高质量的数据集进行培训和评估。但是，大多数可用数据集都遭受了不准确的跟踪数据或跟踪人员的不自然的脚本行为。本文试图通过在语义丰富的环境中提供运动捕获，眼睛凝视跟踪器和板载机器人传感器的高质量跟踪信息来填补这一空白。为了诱导记录参与者的自然行为，我们利用了松散的脚本化任务分配，这使参与者以自然而有目的的方式导航到动态的实验室环境。本文介绍的运动数据集设置了高质量的标准，因为使用语义信息可以增强现实和准确的数据，从而使新算法的开发不仅依赖于跟踪信息，而且还依赖于移动代理的上下文提示，还依赖于跟踪信息。静态和动态环境。
