最近的作品表明，卷积神经网络（CNN）架构具有朝向较低频率的光谱偏压，这已经针对在之前（DIP）框架中的深度图像中的各种图像恢复任务而被利用。归纳偏置的益处网络施加在DIP框架中取决于架构。因此，研究人员研究了如何自动化搜索来确定最佳性能的模型。然而，常见的神经结构搜索（NAS）技术是资源和时间密集的。此外，最佳性能的模型是针对整个图像的整个数据集而不是为每个图像独立地确定，这将是非常昂贵的。在这项工作中，我们首先表明DIP框架中的最佳神经结构是依赖于图像的。然后利用这种洞察力，我们提出了一种特定于DIP框架的图像特定的NAS策略，其需要比典型的NAS方法大得多，有效地实现特定于图像的NA。对于给定的图像，噪声被馈送到大量未训练的CNN，并且它们的输出的功率谱密度（PSD）与使用各种度量的损坏图像进行比较。基于此，选择并培训了一个小型的图像特定架构，以重建损坏的图像。在这种队列中，选择重建最接近重建图像的平均值的模型作为最终模型。我们向拟议的战略证明（1）证明其在NAS数据集上的表现效果，该数据集包括来自特定搜索空间（2）的500多种模型，在特定的搜索空间（2）上进行了广泛的图像去噪，染色和超级分辨率任务。我们的实验表明，图像特定度量可以将搜索空间减少到小型模型队列，其中最佳模型优于电流NAS用于图像恢复的方法。

Diversity Searcher is a tool originally developed to help analyse diversity in news media texts. It relies on a form of automated content analysis and thus rests on prior assumptions and depends on certain design choices related to diversity and fairness. One such design choice is the external knowledge source(s) used. In this article, we discuss implications that these sources can have on the results of content analysis. We compare two data sources that Diversity Searcher has worked with - DBpedia and Wikidata - with respect to their ontological coverage and diversity, and describe implications for the resulting analyses of text corpora. We describe a case study of the relative over- or under-representation of Belgian political parties between 1990 and 2020 in the English-language DBpedia, the Dutch-language DBpedia, and Wikidata, and highlight the many decisions needed with regard to the design of this data analysis and the assumptions behind it, as well as implications from the results. In particular, we came across a staggering over-representation of the political right in the English-language DBpedia.

Unsupervised object discovery aims to localize objects in images, while removing the dependence on annotations required by most deep learning-based methods. To address this problem, we propose a fully unsupervised, bottom-up approach, for multiple objects discovery. The proposed approach is a two-stage framework. First, instances of object parts are segmented by using the intra-image similarity between self-supervised local features. The second step merges and filters the object parts to form complete object instances. The latter is performed by two CNN models that capture semantic information on objects from the entire dataset. We demonstrate that the pseudo-labels generated by our method provide a better precision-recall trade-off than existing single and multiple objects discovery methods. In particular, we provide state-of-the-art results for both unsupervised class-agnostic object detection and unsupervised image segmentation.

The widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) over the course of the last decades has been a primary catalyst behind the digitalization of power systems. Meanwhile, as the utilization rate of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to rise along with recent advancements in ICT, the need for secure and computationally efficient monitoring of critical infrastructures like the electrical grid and the agents that participate in it is growing. A cyber-physical system, such as the electrical grid, may experience anomalies for a number of different reasons. These may include physical defects, mistakes in measurement and communication, cyberattacks, and other similar occurrences. The goal of this study is to emphasize what the most common incidents are with power systems and to give an overview and classification of the most common ways to find problems, starting with the consumer/prosumer end working up to the primary power producers. In addition, this article aimed to discuss the methods and techniques, such as artificial intelligence (AI) that are used to identify anomalies in the power systems and markets.

Dexterous manipulation with anthropomorphic robot hands remains a challenging problem in robotics because of the high-dimensional state and action spaces and complex contacts. Nevertheless, skillful closed-loop manipulation is required to enable humanoid robots to operate in unstructured real-world environments. Reinforcement learning (RL) has traditionally imposed enormous interaction data requirements for optimizing such complex control problems. We introduce a new framework that leverages recent advances in GPU-based simulation along with the strength of imitation learning in guiding policy search towards promising behaviors to make RL training feasible in these domains. To this end, we present an immersive virtual reality teleoperation interface designed for interactive human-like manipulation on contact rich tasks and a suite of manipulation environments inspired by tasks of daily living. Finally, we demonstrate the complementary strengths of massively parallel RL and imitation learning, yielding robust and natural behaviors. Videos of trained policies, our source code, and the collected demonstration datasets are available at https://maltemosbach.github.io/interactive_ human_like_manipulation/.

We present a data-driven framework to automate the vectorization and machine interpretation of 2D engineering part drawings. In industrial settings, most manufacturing engineers still rely on manual reads to identify the topological and manufacturing requirements from drawings submitted by designers. The interpretation process is laborious and time-consuming, which severely inhibits the efficiency of part quotation and manufacturing tasks. While recent advances in image-based computer vision methods have demonstrated great potential in interpreting natural images through semantic segmentation approaches, the application of such methods in parsing engineering technical drawings into semantically accurate components remains a significant challenge. The severe pixel sparsity in engineering drawings also restricts the effective featurization of image-based data-driven methods. To overcome these challenges, we propose a deep learning based framework that predicts the semantic type of each vectorized component. Taking a raster image as input, we vectorize all components through thinning, stroke tracing, and cubic bezier fitting. Then a graph of such components is generated based on the connectivity between the components. Finally, a graph convolutional neural network is trained on this graph data to identify the semantic type of each component. We test our framework in the context of semantic segmentation of text, dimension and, contour components in engineering drawings. Results show that our method yields the best performance compared to recent image, and graph-based segmentation methods.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have pushed the state-of-the-art (SOTA) for performance in learning and predicting on large-scale data present in social networks, biology, etc. Since integrated circuits (ICs) can naturally be represented as graphs, there has been a tremendous surge in employing GNNs for machine learning (ML)-based methods for various aspects of IC design. Given this trajectory, there is a timely need to review and discuss some powerful and versatile GNN approaches for advancing IC design. In this paper, we propose a generic pipeline for tailoring GNN models toward solving challenging problems for IC design. We outline promising options for each pipeline element, and we discuss selected and promising works, like leveraging GNNs to break SOTA logic obfuscation. Our comprehensive overview of GNNs frameworks covers (i) electronic design automation (EDA) and IC design in general, (ii) design of reliable ICs, and (iii) design as well as analysis of secure ICs. We provide our overview and related resources also in the GNN4IC hub at https://github.com/DfX-NYUAD/GNN4IC. Finally, we discuss interesting open problems for future research.

In this study, to address the current high earlydetection miss rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) polyps, we explore the potentials of utilizing transfer learning and machine learning (ML) classifiers to precisely and sensitively classify the type of CRC polyps. Instead of using the common colonoscopic images, we applied three different ML algorithms on the 3D textural image outputs of a unique vision-based surface tactile sensor (VS-TS). To collect realistic textural images of CRC polyps for training the utilized ML classifiers and evaluating their performance, we first designed and additively manufactured 48 types of realistic polyp phantoms with different hardness, type, and textures. Next, the performance of the used three ML algorithms in classifying the type of fabricated polyps was quantitatively evaluated using various statistical metrics.

In this paper, to address the sensitivity and durability trade-off of Vision-based Tactile Sensor (VTSs), we introduce a hyper-sensitive and high-fidelity VTS called HySenSe. We demonstrate that by solely changing one step during the fabrication of the gel layer of the GelSight sensor (as the most well-known VTS), we can substantially improve its sensitivity and durability. Our experimental results clearly demonstrate the outperformance of the HySenSe compared with a similar GelSight sensor in detecting textural details of various objects under identical experimental conditions and low interaction forces (<= 1.5 N).

蜂窝网络（LTE，5G及以后）的增长急剧增长，消费者的需求很高，并且比具有先进的电信技术的其他无线网络更有希望。这些网络的主要目标是将数十亿个设备，系统和用户连接到高速数据传输，高电池容量和低延迟，以及支持广泛的新应用程序，例如虚拟现实，元评估，远程医疗，在线教育，自动驾驶汽车，高级制造等。为了实现这些目标，使用人工智能（AI）方法来实现频谱管理的新方法，以实现这些目标。本文使用基于AI的语义分割模型对光谱传感方法进行了脆弱性分析，以在具有防御性蒸馏方法的情况下识别对抗性攻击下的蜂窝网络信号。结果表明，缓解方法可以显着减少针对对抗攻击的基于AI的光谱传感模型的漏洞。
