最新的2D图像压缩方案依赖于卷积神经网络（CNN）的力量。尽管CNN为2D图像压缩提供了有希望的观点，但将此类模型扩展到全向图像并不简单。首先，全向图像具有特定的空间和统计特性，这些特性无法通过当前CNN模型完全捕获。其次，在球体上，基本的数学操作组成了CNN体系结构，例如翻译和采样。在本文中，我们研究了全向图像的表示模型的学习，并建议使用球体的HealPix均匀采样的属性来重新定义用于全向图像的深度学习模型中使用的数学工具。特别是，我们：i）提出了在球体上进行新的卷积操作的定义，以保持经典2D卷积的高表现力和低复杂性； ii）适应标准的CNN技术，例如步幅，迭代聚集和像素改组到球形结构域；然后iii）将我们的新框架应用于全向图像压缩的任务。我们的实验表明，与应用于等应角图像的类似学习模型相比，我们提出的球形溶液可带来更好的压缩增益，可以节省比特率的13.7％。同样，与基于图形卷积网络的学习模型相比，我们的解决方案支持更具表现力的过滤器，这些过滤器可以保留高频并提供压缩图像的更好的感知质量。这样的结果证明了拟议框架的效率，该框架为其他全向视觉任务任务打开了新的研究场所，以在球体歧管上有效实施。

The field of autonomous mobile robots has undergone dramatic advancements over the past decades. Despite achieving important milestones, several challenges are yet to be addressed. Aggregating the achievements of the robotic community as survey papers is vital to keep the track of current state-of-the-art and the challenges that must be tackled in the future. This paper tries to provide a comprehensive review of autonomous mobile robots covering topics such as sensor types, mobile robot platforms, simulation tools, path planning and following, sensor fusion methods, obstacle avoidance, and SLAM. The urge to present a survey paper is twofold. First, autonomous navigation field evolves fast so writing survey papers regularly is crucial to keep the research community well-aware of the current status of this field. Second, deep learning methods have revolutionized many fields including autonomous navigation. Therefore, it is necessary to give an appropriate treatment of the role of deep learning in autonomous navigation as well which is covered in this paper. Future works and research gaps will also be discussed.

Regularising the parameter matrices of neural networks is ubiquitous in training deep models. Typical regularisation approaches suggest initialising weights using small random values, and to penalise weights to promote sparsity. However, these widely used techniques may be less effective in certain scenarios. Here, we study the Koopman autoencoder model which includes an encoder, a Koopman operator layer, and a decoder. These models have been designed and dedicated to tackle physics-related problems with interpretable dynamics and an ability to incorporate physics-related constraints. However, the majority of existing work employs standard regularisation practices. In our work, we take a step toward augmenting Koopman autoencoders with initialisation and penalty schemes tailored for physics-related settings. Specifically, we propose the "eigeninit" initialisation scheme that samples initial Koopman operators from specific eigenvalue distributions. In addition, we suggest the "eigenloss" penalty scheme that penalises the eigenvalues of the Koopman operator during training. We demonstrate the utility of these schemes on two synthetic data sets: a driven pendulum and flow past a cylinder; and two real-world problems: ocean surface temperatures and cyclone wind fields. We find on these datasets that eigenloss and eigeninit improves the convergence rate by up to a factor of 5, and that they reduce the cumulative long-term prediction error by up to a factor of 3. Such a finding points to the utility of incorporating similar schemes as an inductive bias in other physics-related deep learning approaches.

Backpropagation is widely used to train artificial neural networks, but its relationship to synaptic plasticity in the brain is unknown. Some biological models of backpropagation rely on feedback projections that are symmetric with feedforward connections, but experiments do not corroborate the existence of such symmetric backward connectivity. Random feedback alignment offers an alternative model in which errors are propagated backward through fixed, random backward connections. This approach successfully trains shallow models, but learns slowly and does not perform well with deeper models or online learning. In this study, we develop a novel meta-plasticity approach to discover interpretable, biologically plausible plasticity rules that improve online learning performance with fixed random feedback connections. The resulting plasticity rules show improved online training of deep models in the low data regime. Our results highlight the potential of meta-plasticity to discover effective, interpretable learning rules satisfying biological constraints.

We consider a radio resource management (RRM) problem in a multi-user wireless network, where the goal is to optimize a network-wide utility function subject to constraints on the ergodic average performance of users. We propose a state-augmented parameterization for the RRM policy, where alongside the instantaneous network states, the RRM policy takes as input the set of dual variables corresponding to the constraints. We provide theoretical justification for the feasibility and near-optimality of the RRM decisions generated by the proposed state-augmented algorithm. Focusing on the power allocation problem with RRM policies parameterized by a graph neural network (GNN) and dual variables sampled from the dual descent dynamics, we numerically demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a superior trade-off between mean, minimum, and 5th percentile rates than baseline methods.

Timely and effective response to humanitarian crises requires quick and accurate analysis of large amounts of text data - a process that can highly benefit from expert-assisted NLP systems trained on validated and annotated data in the humanitarian response domain. To enable creation of such NLP systems, we introduce and release HumSet, a novel and rich multilingual dataset of humanitarian response documents annotated by experts in the humanitarian response community. The dataset provides documents in three languages (English, French, Spanish) and covers a variety of humanitarian crises from 2018 to 2021 across the globe. For each document, HUMSET provides selected snippets (entries) as well as assigned classes to each entry annotated using common humanitarian information analysis frameworks. HUMSET also provides novel and challenging entry extraction and multi-label entry classification tasks. In this paper, we take a first step towards approaching these tasks and conduct a set of experiments on Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) to establish strong baselines for future research in this domain. The dataset is available at https://blog.thedeep.io/humset/.

随着人工智能的最新进展，可以在人类日常生活的各个方面看到其应用。从语音助手到移动医疗保健和自动驾驶，我们依靠AI方法的性能来完成许多关键任务；因此，必须以适当的手段进行预防损坏的方式主张模型的性能。通常，AI模型的短缺，尤其是深度机器学习，当面对数据分布的变化时，性能下降。尽管如此，在现实世界应用中始终期望这些转变。因此，已经出现了一个研究领域，重点是检测分布外数据子集并实现更全面的概括。此外，由于许多基于深度学习的模型在基准数据集上取得了近乎完美的结果，因此需要评估这些模型的可靠性和可靠性以推向现实世界应用程序的需求，这比以往任何时候都更加强烈。这引起了越来越多的研究领域的研究和领域的概括，这引起了对从各个角度比较这些研究进行比较的调查的需求，并突出了它们的平直和弱点。本文提出了一项调查，除了审查该领域的70多篇论文外，还提出了未来作品的挑战和方向，并为各种类型的数据转移和解决方案提供了统一的外观，以更好地泛化。

包括无人驾驶汽车（UAV）在内的自动移动机器人因其在建筑中的应用而受到了极大的关注。这些平台具有极大的潜力，可以自动化和增强许多任务所需数据的质量和频率，例如施工时间表更新，检查和监视。强大的本地化是可靠部署自动机器人平台的关键推动力。自动化的机器人解决方案主要依靠全球定位系统（GPS）进行户外定位。但是，GPS信号在室内被拒绝，并且经常使用预建的环境图来室内定位。这需要通过对环境中的移动机器人进行远程操作来产生高质量的地图。这种方法不仅耗时且乏味，而且在室内建筑环境中也是不可靠的。布局随着施工的进度而变化，需要频繁的映射会话来支持自主任务。此外，依赖视觉特征的基于视觉解决方案的有效性在现场低质地和重复区域都受到高度影响。为了应对这些挑战，我们以前提出了使用Apriltags的低成本，轻巧的基于标签的视觉惯性定位方法。在这种方法中，标签是具有已知尺寸和位置的纸张可打印地标，代表环境的准图。由于标签放置/更换是一个手动过程，因此它会遭受人体错误。在这项工作中，我们研究了人体错误在手动标签安装过程中的影响，并提出了一种随机方法，以使用谎言组理论来解决这种不确定性。使用蒙特卡洛模拟，我们通过实验表明，在我们的Manifold配方中纳入的拟议随机模型可提高基于标签的定位对在现场手动标签安装中不可避免的瑕疵的鲁棒性和准确性。
