Face swapping technology used to create "Deepfakes" has advanced significantly over the past few years and now enables us to create realistic facial manipulations. Current deep learning algorithms to detect deepfakes have shown promising results, however, they require large amounts of training data, and as we show they are biased towards a particular ethnicity. We propose a deepfake detection methodology that eliminates the need for any real data by making use of synthetically generated data using StyleGAN3. This not only performs at par with the traditional training methodology of using real data but it shows better generalization capabilities when finetuned with a small amount of real data. Furthermore, this also reduces biases created by facial image datasets that might have sparse data from particular ethnicities.

In this paper, we propose dictionary attacks against speaker verification - a novel attack vector that aims to match a large fraction of speaker population by chance. We introduce a generic formulation of the attack that can be used with various speech representations and threat models. The attacker uses adversarial optimization to maximize raw similarity of speaker embeddings between a seed speech sample and a proxy population. The resulting master voice successfully matches a non-trivial fraction of people in an unknown population. Adversarial waveforms obtained with our approach can match on average 69% of females and 38% of males enrolled in the target system at a strict decision threshold calibrated to yield false alarm rate of 1%. By using the attack with a black-box voice cloning system, we obtain master voices that are effective in the most challenging conditions and transferable between speaker encoders. We also show that, combined with multiple attempts, this attack opens even more to serious issues on the security of these systems.

This paper presents our solutions for the MediaEval 2022 task on DisasterMM. The task is composed of two subtasks, namely (i) Relevance Classification of Twitter Posts (RCTP), and (ii) Location Extraction from Twitter Texts (LETT). The RCTP subtask aims at differentiating flood-related and non-relevant social posts while LETT is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) task and aims at the extraction of location information from the text. For RCTP, we proposed four different solutions based on BERT, RoBERTa, Distil BERT, and ALBERT obtaining an F1-score of 0.7934, 0.7970, 0.7613, and 0.7924, respectively. For LETT, we used three models namely BERT, RoBERTa, and Distil BERTA obtaining an F1-score of 0.6256, 0.6744, and 0.6723, respectively.

Automated synthesis of histology images has several potential applications in computational pathology. However, no existing method can generate realistic tissue images with a bespoke cellular layout or user-defined histology parameters. In this work, we propose a novel framework called SynCLay (Synthesis from Cellular Layouts) that can construct realistic and high-quality histology images from user-defined cellular layouts along with annotated cellular boundaries. Tissue image generation based on bespoke cellular layouts through the proposed framework allows users to generate different histological patterns from arbitrary topological arrangement of different types of cells. SynCLay generated synthetic images can be helpful in studying the role of different types of cells present in the tumor microenvironmet. Additionally, they can assist in balancing the distribution of cellular counts in tissue images for designing accurate cellular composition predictors by minimizing the effects of data imbalance. We train SynCLay in an adversarial manner and integrate a nuclear segmentation and classification model in its training to refine nuclear structures and generate nuclear masks in conjunction with synthetic images. During inference, we combine the model with another parametric model for generating colon images and associated cellular counts as annotations given the grade of differentiation and cell densities of different cells. We assess the generated images quantitatively and report on feedback from trained pathologists who assigned realism scores to a set of images generated by the framework. The average realism score across all pathologists for synthetic images was as high as that for the real images. We also show that augmenting limited real data with the synthetic data generated by our framework can significantly boost prediction performance of the cellular composition prediction task.

Advances in reinforcement learning (RL) often rely on massive compute resources and remain notoriously sample inefficient. In contrast, the human brain is able to efficiently learn effective control strategies using limited resources. This raises the question whether insights from neuroscience can be used to improve current RL methods. Predictive processing is a popular theoretical framework which maintains that the human brain is actively seeking to minimize surprise. We show that recurrent neural networks which predict their own sensory states can be leveraged to minimise surprise, yielding substantial gains in cumulative reward. Specifically, we present the Predictive Processing Proximal Policy Optimization (P4O) agent; an actor-critic reinforcement learning agent that applies predictive processing to a recurrent variant of the PPO algorithm by integrating a world model in its hidden state. P4O significantly outperforms a baseline recurrent variant of the PPO algorithm on multiple Atari games using a single GPU. It also outperforms other state-of-the-art agents given the same wall-clock time and exceeds human gamer performance on multiple games including Seaquest, which is a particularly challenging environment in the Atari domain. Altogether, our work underscores how insights from the field of neuroscience may support the development of more capable and efficient artificial agents.

具有多吉吉像素的组织学图像产生了丰富的信息，以用于癌症诊断和预后。在大多数情况下，只能使用幻灯片级标签，因为像素的注释是劳动密集型任务。在本文中，我们提出了一条深度学习管道，以进行组织学图像中的分类。使用多个实例学习，我们试图预测基于降血石蛋白和曙红蛋白（H＆E）组织学图像的鼻咽癌（NPC）的潜在膜蛋白1（LMP1）状态。我们利用了与聚合层保持剩余连接的注意机制。在我们的3倍交叉验证实验中，我们分别达到了平均准确性，AUC和F1得分为0.936、0.995和0.862。这种方法还使我们能够通过可视化注意力评分来检查模型的可解释性。据我们所知，这是使用深度学习预测NPC上LMP1状态的首次尝试。

组织病理学图像的出现取决于组织类型，染色和数字化过程。这些因素因来源而异，是域转移问题的潜在原因。由于这个问题，尽管深度学习模型在计算病理学中取得了巨大的成功，但在特定领域训练的模型当我们将其应用于另一个领域时，仍可能会表现出色。为了克服这一点，我们提出了一种称为PatchShuffling的新扩展，并为预训练的深度学习模型而被称为Impash的新型自我监视的对比学习框架。使用这些，我们获得了一个RESNET50编码器，该编码器可以提取对域移位抗性的图像表示。我们通过使用其他域普通化技术来比较了我们的派生表示形式，它们通过将它们用于结直肠组织图像的跨域分类。我们表明，所提出的方法优于其他传统的组织学领域适应和最先进的自我监督学习方法。代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/trinhvg/impash。
