恶意软件（恶意软件）分类为持续学习（CL）制度提供了独特的挑战，这是由于每天收到的新样本的数量以及恶意软件的发展以利用新漏洞。在典型的一天中，防病毒供应商将获得数十万个独特的软件，包括恶意和良性，并且在恶意软件分类器的一生中，有超过十亿个样品很容易积累。鉴于问题的规模，使用持续学习技术的顺序培训可以在减少培训和存储开销方面提供可观的好处。但是，迄今为止，还没有对CL应用于恶意软件分类任务的探索。在本文中，我们研究了11种应用于三个恶意软件任务的CL技术，涵盖了常见的增量学习方案，包括任务，类和域增量学习（IL）。具体而言，使用两个现实的大规模恶意软件数据集，我们评估了CL方法在二进制恶意软件分类（domain-il）和多类恶意软件家庭分类（Task-IL和类IL）任务上的性能。令我们惊讶的是，在几乎所有情况下，持续的学习方法显着不足以使训练数据的幼稚关节重播 - 在某些情况下，将精度降低了70个百分点以上。与关节重播相比，有选择性重播20％的存储数据的一种简单方法可以实现更好的性能，占训练时间的50％。最后，我们讨论了CL技术表现出乎意料差的潜在原因，希望它激发进一步研究在恶意软件分类域中更有效的技术。

在Bora等。 （2017年），在测量矩阵为高斯，信号结构是生成神经网络（GNN）的范围的设置中开发了一个数学框架，用于压缩传感保证。此后，当测量矩阵和/或网络权重遵循Subgaussian分布时，对GNNS进行压缩感测的问题进行了广泛的分析。我们超越了高斯的假设，以通过在单一基质的随机行中均匀地采样（包括作为特殊情况下的亚采样傅立叶测量值）来得出的测量矩阵。具体而言，我们证明了使用亚次采样的二型限制感测的第一个已知的限制等轴测保证，并提供了几乎有序的样品复杂性的恢复边界，解决了Scarlett等人的开放问题。 （2022，第10页）。恢复功效的特征是连贯性，这是一个新参数，该参数测量了网络范围与测量矩阵之间的相互作用。我们的方法依赖于子空间计数论点和思想的核心概率。此外，我们提出了一种正规化策略，以使GNN与测量运算符具有有利的连贯性。我们提供令人信服的数值模拟来支持这种正规训练策略：我们的策略产生低相干网络，需要更少的信号回收测量。这与我们的理论结果一起支持连贯性作为自然量，用于表征与亚次采样的生成压缩感测。

在NAS领域中，可分构造的架构搜索是普遍存在的，因为它的简单性和效率，其中两个范例，多路径算法和单路径方法主导。多路径框架（例如，DARTS）是直观的，但遭受内存使用和培训崩溃。单路径方法（例如，e.g.gdas和proxylesnnas）减轻了内存问题并缩小了搜索和评估之间的差距，但牺牲了性能。在本文中，我们提出了一种概念上简单的且有效的方法来桥接这两个范式，称为相互意识的子图可差架构搜索（MSG-DAS）。我们框架的核心是一个可分辨动的Gumbel-Topk采样器，它产生多个互斥的单路径子图。为了缓解多个子图形设置所带来的Severer Skip-Connect问题，我们提出了一个Dropblock-Identity模块来稳定优化。为了充分利用可用的型号（超级网和子图），我们介绍了一种记忆高效的超净指导蒸馏，以改善培训。所提出的框架击中了灵活的内存使用和搜索质量之间的平衡。我们展示了我们在想象中和CIFAR10上的方法的有效性，其中搜索的模型显示了与最近的方法相当的性能。

大型稀疏线性系统在科学和工程中普遍存在，例如由部分微分方程的离散化引起的那些。代数Multigrid（AMG）方法是解决这种线性系统的最常用方法之一，具有广泛的数学理论。线性方程系统在未知数集合上定义了一个图表，并且多重资源求解器的每个级别需要选择适当的粗糙图以及映射到粗略表示的限制和插值运算符。多国求解器的效率尺寸依赖于该选择，多年来已经开发了许多选择方法。最近，已经证明，给定粗糙的图选择，可以直接学习AMG插值和限制运算符。在本文中，我们考虑了学习为多国求解器驯化图的互补问题，这是开发完全学习的AMG方法的必要步骤。我们提出了一种基于图形神经网络（GNN）的加强学习（RL）代理的方法，该方法可以学习在小平面训练图上执行粗糙化的图表，然后应用于非结构化的大平面图，假设有界节点度。我们证明该方法可以产生比现有算法更好的粗糙图形，即使图表尺寸的增加和图形的其他属性而变化。我们还提出了一种有效的推理过程，用于执行图表粗化，导致图形大小的线性时间复杂度。

A family of loss functions built on pair-based computation have been proposed in the literature which provide a myriad of solutions for deep metric learning. In this paper, we provide a general weighting framework for understanding recent pair-based loss functions. Our contributions are three-fold: (1) we establish a General Pair Weighting (GPW) framework, which casts the sampling problem of deep metric learning into a unified view of pair weighting through gradient analysis, providing a powerful tool for understanding recent pair-based loss functions; (2) we show that with GPW, various existing pair-based methods can be compared and discussed comprehensively, with clear differences and key limitations identified; (3) we propose a new loss called multi-similarity loss (MS loss) under the GPW, which is implemented in two iterative steps (i.e., mining and weighting). This allows it to fully consider three similarities for pair weighting, providing a more principled approach for collecting and weighting informative pairs. Finally, the proposed MS loss obtains new state-of-the-art performance on four image retrieval benchmarks, where it outperforms the most recent approaches, such as ABE [14] and HTL [4], by a large margin, e.g., , and 80.9% → 88.0% on In-Shop Clothes Retrieval dataset

Extracting complex structures from grid-based data is a common key step in automated medical image analysis. The conventional solution to recovering tree-structured geometries typically involves computing the minimal cost path through intermediate representations derived from segmentation masks. However, this methodology has significant limitations in the context of projective imaging of tree-structured 3D anatomical data such as coronary arteries, since there are often overlapping branches in the 2D projection. In this work, we propose a novel approach to predicting tree connectivity structure which reformulates the task as an optimization problem over individual steps of a recursive process. We design and train a two-stage model which leverages the UNet and Transformer architectures and introduces an image-based prompting technique. Our proposed method achieves compelling results on a pair of synthetic datasets, and outperforms a shortest-path baseline.

There are multiple scales of abstraction from which we can describe the same image, depending on whether we are focusing on fine-grained details or a more global attribute of the image. In brain mapping, learning to automatically parse images to build representations of both small-scale features (e.g., the presence of cells or blood vessels) and global properties of an image (e.g., which brain region the image comes from) is a crucial and open challenge. However, most existing datasets and benchmarks for neuroanatomy consider only a single downstream task at a time. To bridge this gap, we introduce a new dataset, annotations, and multiple downstream tasks that provide diverse ways to readout information about brain structure and architecture from the same image. Our multi-task neuroimaging benchmark (MTNeuro) is built on volumetric, micrometer-resolution X-ray microtomography images spanning a large thalamocortical section of mouse brain, encompassing multiple cortical and subcortical regions. We generated a number of different prediction challenges and evaluated several supervised and self-supervised models for brain-region prediction and pixel-level semantic segmentation of microstructures. Our experiments not only highlight the rich heterogeneity of this dataset, but also provide insights into how self-supervised approaches can be used to learn representations that capture multiple attributes of a single image and perform well on a variety of downstream tasks.

Cohn and Umans proposed a framework for developing fast matrix multiplication algorithms based on the embedding computation in certain groups algebras. In subsequent work with Kleinberg and Szegedy, they connected this to the search for combinatorial objects called strong uniquely solvable puzzles (strong USPs). We begin a systematic computer-aided search for these objects. We develop and implement constraint-based algorithms build on reductions to $\mathrm{SAT}$ and $\mathrm{IP}$ to verify that puzzles are strong USPs, and to search for large strong USPs. We produce tight bounds on the maximum size of a strong USP for width $k \le 5$, construct puzzles of small width that are larger than previous work, and improve the upper bounds on strong USP size for $k \le 12$. Although our work only deals with puzzles of small-constant width, the strong USPs we find imply matrix multiplication algorithms that run in $O(n^\omega)$ time with exponent $\omega \le 2.66$. While our algorithms do not beat the fastest algorithms, our work provides evidence and, perhaps, a path to finding families of strong USPs that imply matrix multiplication algorithms that are more efficient than those currently known.

Agile robotics presents a difficult challenge with robots moving at high speeds requiring precise and low-latency sensing and control. Creating agile motion that accomplishes the task at hand while being safe to execute is a key requirement for agile robots to gain human trust. This requires designing new approaches that are flexible and maintain knowledge over world constraints. In this paper, we consider the problem of building a flexible and adaptive controller for a challenging agile mobile manipulation task of hitting ground strokes on a wheelchair tennis robot. We propose and evaluate an extension to work done on learning striking behaviors using a probabilistic movement primitive (ProMP) framework by (1) demonstrating the safe execution of learned primitives on an agile mobile manipulator setup, and (2) proposing an online primitive refinement procedure that utilizes evaluative feedback from humans on the executed trajectories.

Curating datasets for object segmentation is a difficult task. With the advent of large-scale pre-trained generative models, conditional image generation has been given a significant boost in result quality and ease of use. In this paper, we present a novel method that enables the generation of general foreground-background segmentation models from simple textual descriptions, without requiring segmentation labels. We leverage and explore pre-trained latent diffusion models, to automatically generate weak segmentation masks for concepts and objects. The masks are then used to fine-tune the diffusion model on an inpainting task, which enables fine-grained removal of the object, while at the same time providing a synthetic foreground and background dataset. We demonstrate that using this method beats previous methods in both discriminative and generative performance and closes the gap with fully supervised training while requiring no pixel-wise object labels. We show results on the task of segmenting four different objects (humans, dogs, cars, birds).
