最近，已经努力将信号阶段和时机（SPAT）消息标准化。这些消息包含所有信号交叉方法的信号相时机。因此，这些信息可用于有效的运动计划，从而导致更多均匀的交通流量和均匀的速度轮廓。尽管努力为半活化的信号控制系统提供了可靠的预测，但预测完全驱动控制的信号相时仍具有挑战性。本文提出了使用聚合的流量信号和循环检测器数据的时间序列预测框架。我们利用最先进的机器学习模型来预测未来信号阶段的持续时间。线性回归（LR），随机森林（RF）和长期内存（LSTM）神经网络的性能是针对天真基线模型进行评估的。结果基于瑞士苏黎世的全面信号控制系统的经验数据集表明，机器学习模型的表现优于常规预测方法。此外，基于树木的决策模型（例如RF）的表现最佳，其准确性满足实用应用要求。

流媒体数据中对异常的实时检测正在受到越来越多的关注，因为它使我们能够提高警报，预测故障并检测到整个行业的入侵或威胁。然而，很少有人注意比较流媒体数据（即在线算法）的异常检测器的有效性和效率。在本文中，我们介绍了来自不同算法家族（即基于距离，密度，树木或投影）的主要在线检测器的定性合成概述，并突出了其构建，更新和测试检测模型的主要思想。然后，我们对在线检测算法的定量实验评估以及其离线对应物进行了彻底的分析。检测器的行为与不同数据集（即元功能）的特征相关，从而提供了对其性能的元级分析。我们的研究介绍了文献中几个缺失的见解，例如（a）检测器对随机分类器的可靠性以及什么数据集特性使它们随机执行； （b）在线探测器在何种程度上近似离线同行的性能； （c）哪种绘制检测器的策略和更新原始图最适合检测仅在数据集的功能子空间中可见的异常； （d）属于不同算法家族的探测器的有效性与效率之间的权衡是什么； （e）数据集的哪些特定特征产生在线算法以胜过所有其他特征。

昼夜节律是哺乳动物（例如睡眠，代谢，稳态，情绪变化等）各种重要生理和行为过程的中心。已经表明，这种节奏来自位于上核（SCN）中的神经元网络的自维持的生物分子振荡。在正常情况下，由于视网膜的信号，该网络仍然同步到昼夜周期。这些神经元振荡与外部光信号的未对准会破坏众多生理功能，并对健康和福祉造成持久的损失。在这项工作中，我们研究了现代的计算神经科学模型，以确定昼夜节律对不同频率和占空比外部光信号的限制。我们采用无基质方法来定位各种驾驶条件的高维模型的周期性稳态。我们的算法管道可以实现分叉图的数值延续和构建W.R.T.强制参数。我们在计算中探讨了昼夜节律网络中异质性的影响，以及矫正治疗性干预措施（例如药物分子长期的）的效果。最后，我们采用无监督的学习来构建数据驱动的嵌入空间来表示神经元异质性。

放射线学使用定量医学成像特征来预测临床结果。目前，在新的临床应用中，必须通过启发式试验和纠正过程手动完成各种可用选项的最佳放射组方法。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个框架，以自动优化每个应用程序的放射线工作流程的构建。为此，我们将放射线学作为模块化工作流程，并为每个组件包含大量的常见算法。为了优化每个应用程序的工作流程，我们使用随机搜索和结合使用自动化机器学习。我们在十二个不同的临床应用中评估我们的方法，从而在曲线下导致以下区域：1）脂肪肉瘤（0.83）； 2）脱粘型纤维瘤病（0.82）; 3）原发性肝肿瘤（0.80）; 4）胃肠道肿瘤（0.77）； 5）结直肠肝转移（0.61）; 6）黑色素瘤转移（0.45）; 7）肝细胞癌（0.75）; 8）肠系膜纤维化（0.80）; 9）前列腺癌（0.72）； 10）神经胶质瘤（0.71）; 11）阿尔茨海默氏病（0.87）;和12）头颈癌（0.84）。我们表明，我们的框架具有比较人类专家的竞争性能，优于放射线基线，并且表现相似或优于贝叶斯优化和更高级的合奏方法。最后，我们的方法完全自动优化了放射线工作流的构建，从而简化了在新应用程序中对放射线生物标志物的搜索。为了促进可重复性和未来的研究，我们公开发布了六个数据集，框架的软件实施以及重现这项研究的代码。

Variational inference uses optimization, rather than integration, to approximate the marginal likelihood, and thereby the posterior, in a Bayesian model. Thanks to advances in computational scalability made in the last decade, variational inference is now the preferred choice for many high-dimensional models and large datasets. This tutorial introduces variational inference from the parametric perspective that dominates these recent developments, in contrast to the mean-field perspective commonly found in other introductory texts.

Knowledge graphs (KG) have served as the key component of various natural language processing applications. Commonsense knowledge graphs (CKG) are a special type of KG, where entities and relations are composed of free-form text. However, previous works in KG completion and CKG completion suffer from long-tail relations and newly-added relations which do not have many know triples for training. In light of this, few-shot KG completion (FKGC), which requires the strengths of graph representation learning and few-shot learning, has been proposed to challenge the problem of limited annotated data. In this paper, we comprehensively survey previous attempts on such tasks in the form of a series of methods and applications. Specifically, we first introduce FKGC challenges, commonly used KGs, and CKGs. Then we systematically categorize and summarize existing works in terms of the type of KGs and the methods. Finally, we present applications of FKGC models on prediction tasks in different areas and share our thoughts on future research directions of FKGC.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation is a promising task freeing people from heavy annotation work. However, domain discrepancies in low-level image statistics and high-level contexts compromise the segmentation performance over the target domain. A key idea to tackle this problem is to perform both image-level and feature-level adaptation jointly. Unfortunately, there is a lack of such unified approaches for UDA tasks in the existing literature. This paper proposes a novel UDA pipeline for semantic segmentation that unifies image-level and feature-level adaptation. Concretely, for image-level domain shifts, we propose a global photometric alignment module and a global texture alignment module that align images in the source and target domains in terms of image-level properties. For feature-level domain shifts, we perform global manifold alignment by projecting pixel features from both domains onto the feature manifold of the source domain; and we further regularize category centers in the source domain through a category-oriented triplet loss and perform target domain consistency regularization over augmented target domain images. Experimental results demonstrate that our pipeline significantly outperforms previous methods. In the commonly tested GTA5$\rightarrow$Cityscapes task, our proposed method using Deeplab V3+ as the backbone surpasses previous SOTA by 8%, achieving 58.2% in mIoU.

The development of social media user stance detection and bot detection methods rely heavily on large-scale and high-quality benchmarks. However, in addition to low annotation quality, existing benchmarks generally have incomplete user relationships, suppressing graph-based account detection research. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Relational Graph-Based Twitter Account Detection Benchmark (MGTAB), the first standardized graph-based benchmark for account detection. To our knowledge, MGTAB was built based on the largest original data in the field, with over 1.55 million users and 130 million tweets. MGTAB contains 10,199 expert-annotated users and 7 types of relationships, ensuring high-quality annotation and diversified relations. In MGTAB, we extracted the 20 user property features with the greatest information gain and user tweet features as the user features. In addition, we performed a thorough evaluation of MGTAB and other public datasets. Our experiments found that graph-based approaches are generally more effective than feature-based approaches and perform better when introducing multiple relations. By analyzing experiment results, we identify effective approaches for account detection and provide potential future research directions in this field. Our benchmark and standardized evaluation procedures are freely available at: https://github.com/GraphDetec/MGTAB.

The performance of inertial navigation systems is largely dependent on the stable flow of external measurements and information to guarantee continuous filter updates and bind the inertial solution drift. Platforms in different operational environments may be prevented at some point from receiving external measurements, thus exposing their navigation solution to drift. Over the years, a wide variety of works have been proposed to overcome this shortcoming, by exploiting knowledge of the system current conditions and turning it into an applicable source of information to update the navigation filter. This paper aims to provide an extensive survey of information aided navigation, broadly classified into direct, indirect, and model aiding. Each approach is described by the notable works that implemented its concept, use cases, relevant state updates, and their corresponding measurement models. By matching the appropriate constraint to a given scenario, one will be able to improve the navigation solution accuracy, compensate for the lost information, and uncover certain internal states, that would otherwise remain unobservable.
