自动艺术文本生成是一个新兴主题，由于其广泛的应用而受到越来越多的关注。艺术文本可以分别分为三个组成部分，内容，字体和纹理。现有的艺术文本生成模型通常着重于操纵上述组件的一个方面，这是可控的一般艺术文本生成的亚最佳解决方案。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种新颖的方法，即Gentext，以通过将字体和纹理样式从不同的源图像迁移到目标图像来实现一般的艺术文本样式转移。具体而言，我们当前的工作分别结合了三个不同的阶段，分别是具有单个强大的编码网络和两个单独的样式生成器网络，一个用于字体传输的统一平台，分别为统一的平台，另一个用于风格化和命运化。命令阶段首先提取字体参考图像的字体样式，然后字体传输阶段使用所需的字体样式生成目标内容。最后，样式阶段呈现有关参考图像中纹理样式的结果字体图像。此外，考虑到配对艺术文本图像的难度数据采集，我们的模型是在无监督的设置下设计的，可以从未配对的数据中有效地优化所有阶段。定性和定量结果是在艺术文本基准上执行的，这证明了我们提出的模型的出色性能。带有模型的代码将来将公开使用。

随着大型预训练的Vison语言模型（如剪辑）的出现，可以通过及时调整来调整可转让表示形式。及时调整试图从存储在预训练的视觉模型的图像和文本编码器中的常识中探索有益信息，以探索下游任务。最近提出的名为“上下文优化”（COP）的方法将一组可学习的向量从语言侧引入文本提示符，而单独调整文本提示符则不会影响图像编码器的计算视觉特征，从而导致了次级优势。在本文中，我们通过学习文本提示并同时为文本和图像编码器提供双重模式提示调整范式。此外，为了使视觉提示更多地集中在目标视觉概念上，我们提出了类感知的视觉及时调整（CAVPT），该调整是通过在模板提示和视觉类别令牌嵌入的语言描述之间进行交叉注意来动态生成的。我们的方法提供了一种新的范式来调整大型预训练的视觉模型，并在8个数据集上进行了广泛的实验结果，证明了该方法的有效性。我们的代码在补充材料中可用。

具有混合精度量化的大DNN可以实现超高压缩，同时保持高分类性能。但是，由于找到了可以引导优化过程的准确度量的挑战，与32位浮点（FP-32）基线相比，这些方法牺牲了显着性能，或者依赖于计算昂贵的迭代培训政策这需要预先训练的基线的可用性。要解决此问题，本文提出了BMPQ，一种使用位梯度来分析层敏感性的训练方法，并产生混合精度量化模型。 BMPQ需要单一的训练迭代，但不需要预先训练的基线。它使用整数线性程序（ILP）来动态调整培训期间层的精度，但经过固定的硬件预算。为了评估BMPQ的功效，我们对CiFar-10，CiFar-100和微小想象数据集的VGG16和Reset18进行了广泛的实验。与基线FP-32型号相比，BMPQ可以产生具有15.4倍的参数比特的模型，精度可忽略不计。与SOTA“在培训期间”相比，混合精确训练方案，我们的模型分别在CiFar-10，CiFar-100和微小想象中分别为2.1倍，2.2倍2.9倍，具有提高的精度高达14.54％。

最近关于3D密集标题和视觉接地的研究取得了令人印象深刻的结果。尽管这两个方面都有发展，但可用的3D视觉语言数据的有限量导致3D视觉接地和3D密度标题方法的过度问题。此外，尚未完全研究如何辨别地描述复杂3D环境中的对象。为了解决这些挑战，我们呈现D3Net，即最终的神经扬声器 - 侦听器架构，可以检测，描述和辨别。我们的D3Net以自我批评方式统一3D密集的标题和视觉接地。D3Net的这种自我关键性质还引入了对象标题生成过程中的可怜性，并且可以通过部分注释的描述启用对Scannet数据的半监督培训。我们的方法在扫描带数据集的两个任务中优于SOTA方法，超越了SOTA 3D密度标题方法，通过显着的余量（23.56％的填充剂@ 0.5iou改进）。

This paper focuses on designing efficient models with low parameters and FLOPs for dense predictions. Even though CNN-based lightweight methods have achieved stunning results after years of research, trading-off model accuracy and constrained resources still need further improvements. This work rethinks the essential unity of efficient Inverted Residual Block in MobileNetv2 and effective Transformer in ViT, inductively abstracting a general concept of Meta-Mobile Block, and we argue that the specific instantiation is very important to model performance though sharing the same framework. Motivated by this phenomenon, we deduce a simple yet efficient modern \textbf{I}nverted \textbf{R}esidual \textbf{M}obile \textbf{B}lock (iRMB) for mobile applications, which absorbs CNN-like efficiency to model short-distance dependency and Transformer-like dynamic modeling capability to learn long-distance interactions. Furthermore, we design a ResNet-like 4-phase \textbf{E}fficient \textbf{MO}del (EMO) based only on a series of iRMBs for dense applications. Massive experiments on ImageNet-1K, COCO2017, and ADE20K benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our EMO over state-of-the-art methods, \eg, our EMO-1M/2M/5M achieve 71.5, 75.1, and 78.4 Top-1 that surpass \textbf{SoTA} CNN-/Transformer-based models, while trading-off the model accuracy and efficiency well.

Supervised Question Answering systems (QA systems) rely on domain-specific human-labeled data for training. Unsupervised QA systems generate their own question-answer training pairs, typically using secondary knowledge sources to achieve this outcome. Our approach (called PIE-QG) uses Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) to generate synthetic training questions from paraphrased passages and uses the question-answer pairs as training data for a language model for a state-of-the-art QA system based on BERT. Triples in the form of <subject, predicate, object> are extracted from each passage, and questions are formed with subjects (or objects) and predicates while objects (or subjects) are considered as answers. Experimenting on five extractive QA datasets demonstrates that our technique achieves on-par performance with existing state-of-the-art QA systems with the benefit of being trained on an order of magnitude fewer documents and without any recourse to external reference data sources.

Transformer has achieved impressive successes for various computer vision tasks. However, most of existing studies require to pretrain the Transformer backbone on a large-scale labeled dataset (e.g., ImageNet) for achieving satisfactory performance, which is usually unavailable for medical images. Additionally, due to the gap between medical and natural images, the improvement generated by the ImageNet pretrained weights significantly degrades while transferring the weights to medical image processing tasks. In this paper, we propose Bootstrap Own Latent of Transformer (BOLT), a self-supervised learning approach specifically for medical image classification with the Transformer backbone. Our BOLT consists of two networks, namely online and target branches, for self-supervised representation learning. Concretely, the online network is trained to predict the target network representation of the same patch embedding tokens with a different perturbation. To maximally excavate the impact of Transformer from limited medical data, we propose an auxiliary difficulty ranking task. The Transformer is enforced to identify which branch (i.e., online/target) is processing the more difficult perturbed tokens. Overall, the Transformer endeavours itself to distill the transformation-invariant features from the perturbed tokens to simultaneously achieve difficulty measurement and maintain the consistency of self-supervised representations. The proposed BOLT is evaluated on three medical image processing tasks, i.e., skin lesion classification, knee fatigue fracture grading and diabetic retinopathy grading. The experimental results validate the superiority of our BOLT for medical image classification, compared to ImageNet pretrained weights and state-of-the-art self-supervised learning approaches.

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE), which maps entities and relations in a knowledge graph into continuous vector spaces, has achieved great success in predicting missing links in knowledge graphs. However, knowledge graphs often contain incomplete triples that are difficult to inductively infer by KGEs. To address this challenge, we resort to analogical inference and propose a novel and general self-supervised framework AnKGE to enhance KGE models with analogical inference capability. We propose an analogical object retriever that retrieves appropriate analogical objects from entity-level, relation-level, and triple-level. And in AnKGE, we train an analogy function for each level of analogical inference with the original element embedding from a well-trained KGE model as input, which outputs the analogical object embedding. In order to combine inductive inference capability from the original KGE model and analogical inference capability enhanced by AnKGE, we interpolate the analogy score with the base model score and introduce the adaptive weights in the score function for prediction. Through extensive experiments on FB15k-237 and WN18RR datasets, we show that AnKGE achieves competitive results on link prediction task and well performs analogical inference.

Digital engineering transformation is a crucial process for the engineering paradigm shifts in the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), and artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical enabling technology in digital engineering transformation. This article discusses the following research questions: What are the fundamental changes in the 4IR? More specifically, what are the fundamental changes in engineering? What is digital engineering? What are the main uncertainties there? What is trustworthy AI? Why is it important today? What are emerging engineering paradigm shifts in the 4IR? What is the relationship between the data-intensive paradigm and digital engineering transformation? What should we do for digitalization? From investigating the pattern of industrial revolutions, this article argues that ubiquitous machine intelligence (uMI) is the defining power brought by the 4IR. Digitalization is a condition to leverage ubiquitous machine intelligence. Digital engineering transformation towards Industry 4.0 has three essential building blocks: digitalization of engineering, leveraging ubiquitous machine intelligence, and building digital trust and security. The engineering design community at large is facing an excellent opportunity to bring the new capabilities of ubiquitous machine intelligence and trustworthy AI principles, as well as digital trust, together in various engineering systems design to ensure the trustworthiness of systems in Industry 4.0.

Surgical robot automation has attracted increasing research interest over the past decade, expecting its huge potential to benefit surgeons, nurses and patients. Recently, the learning paradigm of embodied AI has demonstrated promising ability to learn good control policies for various complex tasks, where embodied AI simulators play an essential role to facilitate relevant researchers. However, existing open-sourced simulators for surgical robot are still not sufficiently supporting human interactions through physical input devices, which further limits effective investigations on how human demonstrations would affect policy learning. In this paper, we study human-in-the-loop embodied intelligence with a new interactive simulation platform for surgical robot learning. Specifically, we establish our platform based on our previously released SurRoL simulator with several new features co-developed to allow high-quality human interaction via an input device. With these, we further propose to collect human demonstrations and imitate the action patterns to achieve more effective policy learning. We showcase the improvement of our simulation environment with the designed new features and tasks, and validate state-of-the-art reinforcement learning algorithms using the interactive environment. Promising results are obtained, with which we hope to pave the way for future research on surgical embodied intelligence. Our platform is released and will be continuously updated in the website: https://med-air.github.io/SurRoL/
