Tongue cancer is a common oral cavity malignancy that originates in the mouth and throat. Much effort has been invested in improving its diagnosis, treatment, and management. Surgical removal, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy remain the major treatment for tongue cancer. The survival of patients determines the treatment effect. Previous studies have identified certain survival and risk factors based on descriptive statistics, ignoring the complex, nonlinear relationship among clinical and demographic variables. In this study, we utilize five cutting-edge machine learning models and clinical data to predict the survival of tongue cancer patients after treatment. Five-fold cross-validation, bootstrap analysis, and permutation feature importance are applied to estimate and interpret model performance. The prognostic factors identified by our method are consistent with previous clinical studies. Our method is accurate, interpretable, and thus useable as additional evidence in tongue cancer treatment and management.

有效的缩放和灵活的任务接口使大型语言模型能够在许多任务中表现出色。帕利（Pali）根据视觉和文本输入生成文本，并使用该界面以许多语言执行许多视觉，语言和多模式任务。为了训练帕利，我们利用了大型的编码器语言模型和视觉变压器（VITS）。这使我们能够利用其现有能力，并利用培训它们的大量成本。我们发现，视觉和语言组成部分的联合缩放很重要。由于现有的语言变压器比其视觉对应物要大得多，因此我们训练迄今为止最大的VIT（VIT-E），以量化甚至大容量视觉模型的好处。为了训练Pali，我们基于一个新的图像文本训练集，其中包含10B图像和文本，以100多种语言来创建大型的多语言组合。帕利（Pali）在多个视觉和语言任务（例如字幕，视觉问题，索方式，场景文本理解）中实现了最新的，同时保留了简单，模块化和可扩展的设计。

我们介绍了一项对自然语言（NL）推理的人类通知，开放域和逻辑上复杂且多样的数据集，配备了一阶逻辑（fol）注释。对开本由1,435个示例（独特的结论）组成，每个示例与487组前提之一搭配，这些场所作为规则，可用于演绎理由，以理解每个结论的有效性。前提和结论的逻辑正确性是通过其平行注释来确保的，这些注释会自动由我们的FOL推理引擎验证。除了主要的NL推理任务外，对开本中的NL-FOL对自动构成了使用FOL作为逻辑形式的新的NL-FOL翻译数据集。我们对广泛的实验系统地评估了对中型语言模型（BERT，ROBERTA）进行微调的FOL推理能力，并且在大型语言模型（GPT-NEOX，OPT，OPT，GPT-3，Codex）上促成了很少的射击。对于NL-FOL翻译，我们尝试使用GPT-3和Codex。我们的结果表明，公开可用的最强大的大语言模型之一（LLM），GPT-3 Davinci，仅比随机结果略好，而在一部分集的一部分中，该模型尤其不好，并且在预测该模型方面尤其不好。纠正虚假和未知结论的真实价值。我们的数据集和代码可在https://github.com/yale-lily/folio上找到。

本文提出了一种新颖的统一特征优化（UFO）范式，用于训练和在现实世界和大规模场景下进行深层模型，这需要集合多个AI功能。不明飞行物的目标是通过对所有任务进行大规模预修。与众所周知的基础模型相比，UFO具有两个不同的重点，即相对较小的模型大小，没有适应性成本：1）UFO以多任务学习方式将广泛的任务挤入中等尺寸的统一模型中并在转移到下游任务时进一步修剪模型大小。 2）不明飞行物不强调转移到新任务。相反，它旨在使修剪模型专门用于一个或多个已经看到的任务。有了这两个特征，UFO为灵活的部署提供了极大的便利，同时保持了大规模预处理的好处。 UFO的一个关键优点是修剪过程不仅可以减少模型的大小和推理消耗，而且还提高了某些任务的准确性。具体而言，UFO考虑了多任务培训，并对统一模型产生了两倍的影响：一些密切相关的任务具有相互利益，而某些任务相互冲突。不明飞行物设法通过新颖的网络体系结构搜索（NAS）方法来减少冲突并保留相互利益。对各种深度表示学习任务（即面部识别，人重新识别，车辆重新识别和产品检索）的实验表明，从UFO中修剪的模型比单件任务训练的对应物更高，但却具有更高的准确性较小的型号大小，验证不明飞行物的概念。此外，UFO还支持发布170亿个参数计算机视觉（CV）基础模型，该模型是该行业中最大的CV模型。

近年来，随着预审预周习惯的模型的越来越多，为特定的下游分类任务选择最佳的检查站的问题一直在增加注意力。尽管最近提出了几种方法来解决选择问题（例如LEEP，H-SCORE），但这些方法诉诸应用学习理论并非充分动机的启发式方法。在本文中，我们介绍了PACTRAN，这是一个理论上扎根的指标家族，用于验证模型选择和可传递性测量。我们首先展示了如何从转移学习设置下的最佳PAC-Bayesian界限中得出PACTRAN指标。然后，我们在许多视觉任务（VTAB）以及语言和视觉（OKVQA）任务上对PACTRAN的三个度量实例进行了经验评估。对结果的分析表明，与现有选择方法相比，PACTRAN是一种更一致和有效的可传递性度量。

In this paper, we present a novel visual SLAM and long-term localization benchmark for autonomous driving in challenging conditions based on the large-scale 4Seasons dataset. The proposed benchmark provides drastic appearance variations caused by seasonal changes and diverse weather and illumination conditions. While significant progress has been made in advancing visual SLAM on small-scale datasets with similar conditions, there is still a lack of unified benchmarks representative of real-world scenarios for autonomous driving. We introduce a new unified benchmark for jointly evaluating visual odometry, global place recognition, and map-based visual localization performance which is crucial to successfully enable autonomous driving in any condition. The data has been collected for more than one year, resulting in more than 300 km of recordings in nine different environments ranging from a multi-level parking garage to urban (including tunnels) to countryside and highway. We provide globally consistent reference poses with up to centimeter-level accuracy obtained from the fusion of direct stereo-inertial odometry with RTK GNSS. We evaluate the performance of several state-of-the-art visual odometry and visual localization baseline approaches on the benchmark and analyze their properties. The experimental results provide new insights into current approaches and show promising potential for future research. Our benchmark and evaluation protocols will be available at https://www.4seasons-dataset.com/.

Feedforward fully convolutional neural networks currently dominate in semantic segmentation of 3D point clouds. Despite their great success, they suffer from the loss of local information at low-level layers, posing significant challenges to accurate scene segmentation and precise object boundary delineation. Prior works either address this issue by post-processing or jointly learn object boundaries to implicitly improve feature encoding of the networks. These approaches often require additional modules which are difficult to integrate into the original architecture. To improve the segmentation near object boundaries, we propose a boundary-aware feature propagation mechanism. This mechanism is achieved by exploiting a multi-task learning framework that aims to explicitly guide the boundaries to their original locations. With one shared encoder, our network outputs (i) boundary localization, (ii) prediction of directions pointing to the object's interior, and (iii) semantic segmentation, in three parallel streams. The predicted boundaries and directions are fused to propagate the learned features to refine the segmentation. We conduct extensive experiments on the S3DIS and SensatUrban datasets against various baseline methods, demonstrating that our proposed approach yields consistent improvements by reducing boundary errors. Our code is available at https://github.com/shenglandu/PushBoundary.

Open vocabulary object detection has been greatly advanced by the recent development of vision-language pretrained model, which helps recognize novel objects with only semantic categories. The prior works mainly focus on knowledge transferring to the object proposal classification and employ class-agnostic box and mask prediction. In this work, we propose CondHead, a principled dynamic network design to better generalize the box regression and mask segmentation for open vocabulary setting. The core idea is to conditionally parameterize the network heads on semantic embedding and thus the model is guided with class-specific knowledge to better detect novel categories. Specifically, CondHead is composed of two streams of network heads, the dynamically aggregated head and the dynamically generated head. The former is instantiated with a set of static heads that are conditionally aggregated, these heads are optimized as experts and are expected to learn sophisticated prediction. The latter is instantiated with dynamically generated parameters and encodes general class-specific information. With such a conditional design, the detection model is bridged by the semantic embedding to offer strongly generalizable class-wise box and mask prediction. Our method brings significant improvement to the state-of-the-art open vocabulary object detection methods with very minor overhead, e.g., it surpasses a RegionClip model by 3.0 detection AP on novel categories, with only 1.1% more computation.

In this paper, we propose a large-scale language pre-training for text GENeration using dIffusion modEl, which is named GENIE. GENIE is a pre-training sequence-to-sequence text generation model which combines Transformer and diffusion. The diffusion model accepts the latent information from the encoder, which is used to guide the denoising of the current time step. After multiple such denoise iterations, the diffusion model can restore the Gaussian noise to the diverse output text which is controlled by the input text. Moreover, such architecture design also allows us to adopt large scale pre-training on the GENIE. We propose a novel pre-training method named continuous paragraph denoise based on the characteristics of the diffusion model. Extensive experiments on the XSum, CNN/DailyMail, and Gigaword benchmarks shows that GENIE can achieves comparable performance with various strong baselines, especially after pre-training, the generation quality of GENIE is greatly improved. We have also conduct a lot of experiments on the generation diversity and parameter impact of GENIE. The code for GENIE will be made publicly available.
