半监督域适应性（SSDA）中的主要挑战之一是标记源和目标样本数量之间的偏差比，导致该模型偏向源域。 SSDA中的最新作品表明，仅将标记的目标样品与源样本对齐可能导致目标域与源域的不完全域对齐。在我们的方法中，为了使两个域对齐，我们利用对比的损失，使用来自两个域的监督样本学习语义上有意义的域不可知特征空间。为了减轻偏斜标签比率引起的挑战，我们通过将其特征表示形式与来自源和目标域的标记样品的特征表示形式进行比较，为未标记的目标样本进行了伪造。此外，为了增加目标域的支持，在训练过程中，这些潜在的嘈杂的伪标签逐渐被逐渐注入标记的目标数据集中。具体而言，我们使用温度缩放的余弦相似性度量将软伪标签分配给未标记的目标样品。此外，我们计算每个未标记样品的软伪标签的指数移动平均值。这些伪标签逐渐注入或删除）（从）基于置信阈值（以补充源和目标分布的比对）（从）中（从）中。最后，我们在标记和伪标记的数据集上使用有监督的对比损失来对齐源和目标分布。使用我们提出的方法，我们在SSDA基准测试中展示了最先进的性能-Office-Home，Domainnet和Office-31。

在这项工作中，我们提出了Cluda，这是一种简单而又新颖的方法，用于通过将对比损失纳入学生教师学习范式中，以进行语义分割，以进行语义分割，以利用伪标记，以通过伪标记产生的伪标记。教师网络。更具体地说，我们从编码器中提取多级融合功能图，并通过图像的源目标混合使用不同类别和不同域的对比度损失。我们始终提高各种特征编码器体系结构和语义分割中不同域适应数据集的性能。此外，我们引入了一种学识渊博的对比损失，以改善UDA最先进的多分辨率训练方法。我们在gta $ \ rightarrow $ cityScapes（74.4 miou，+0.6）和Synthia $ \ rightarrow $ cityScapes（67.2 miou，+1.4）数据集上产生最先进的结果。 Cluda有效地证明了UDA中的对比度学习是一种通用方法，可以轻松地将其集成到任何现有的UDA中以进行语义分割任务。有关实施的详细信息，请参考补充材料。

Cashews are grown by over 3 million smallholders in more than 40 countries worldwide as a principal source of income. As the third largest cashew producer in Africa, Benin has nearly 200,000 smallholder cashew growers contributing 15% of the country's national export earnings. However, a lack of information on where and how cashew trees grow across the country hinders decision-making that could support increased cashew production and poverty alleviation. By leveraging 2.4-m Planet Basemaps and 0.5-m aerial imagery, newly developed deep learning algorithms, and large-scale ground truth datasets, we successfully produced the first national map of cashew in Benin and characterized the expansion of cashew plantations between 2015 and 2021. In particular, we developed a SpatioTemporal Classification with Attention (STCA) model to map the distribution of cashew plantations, which can fully capture texture information from discriminative time steps during a growing season. We further developed a Clustering Augmented Self-supervised Temporal Classification (CASTC) model to distinguish high-density versus low-density cashew plantations by automatic feature extraction and optimized clustering. Results show that the STCA model has an overall accuracy of 80% and the CASTC model achieved an overall accuracy of 77.9%. We found that the cashew area in Benin has doubled from 2015 to 2021 with 60% of new plantation development coming from cropland or fallow land, while encroachment of cashew plantations into protected areas has increased by 70%. Only half of cashew plantations were high-density in 2021, suggesting high potential for intensification. Our study illustrates the power of combining high-resolution remote sensing imagery and state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms to better understand tree crops in the heterogeneous smallholder landscape.

Attention mechanisms form a core component of several successful deep learning architectures, and are based on one key idea: ''The output depends only on a small (but unknown) segment of the input.'' In several practical applications like image captioning and language translation, this is mostly true. In trained models with an attention mechanism, the outputs of an intermediate module that encodes the segment of input responsible for the output is often used as a way to peek into the `reasoning` of the network. We make such a notion more precise for a variant of the classification problem that we term selective dependence classification (SDC) when used with attention model architectures. Under such a setting, we demonstrate various error modes where an attention model can be accurate but fail to be interpretable, and show that such models do occur as a result of training. We illustrate various situations that can accentuate and mitigate this behaviour. Finally, we use our objective definition of interpretability for SDC tasks to evaluate a few attention model learning algorithms designed to encourage sparsity and demonstrate that these algorithms help improve interpretability.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become commonplace to solve routine everyday tasks. Because of the exponential growth in medical imaging data volume and complexity, the workload on radiologists is steadily increasing. We project that the gap between the number of imaging exams and the number of expert radiologist readers required to cover this increase will continue to expand, consequently introducing a demand for AI-based tools that improve the efficiency with which radiologists can comfortably interpret these exams. AI has been shown to improve efficiency in medical-image generation, processing, and interpretation, and a variety of such AI models have been developed across research labs worldwide. However, very few of these, if any, find their way into routine clinical use, a discrepancy that reflects the divide between AI research and successful AI translation. To address the barrier to clinical deployment, we have formed MONAI Consortium, an open-source community which is building standards for AI deployment in healthcare institutions, and developing tools and infrastructure to facilitate their implementation. This report represents several years of weekly discussions and hands-on problem solving experience by groups of industry experts and clinicians in the MONAI Consortium. We identify barriers between AI-model development in research labs and subsequent clinical deployment and propose solutions. Our report provides guidance on processes which take an imaging AI model from development to clinical implementation in a healthcare institution. We discuss various AI integration points in a clinical Radiology workflow. We also present a taxonomy of Radiology AI use-cases. Through this report, we intend to educate the stakeholders in healthcare and AI (AI researchers, radiologists, imaging informaticists, and regulators) about cross-disciplinary challenges and possible solutions.

Radiance Fields (RF) are popular to represent casually-captured scenes for new view generation and have been used for applications beyond it. Understanding and manipulating scenes represented as RFs have to naturally follow to facilitate mixed reality on personal spaces. Semantic segmentation of objects in the 3D scene is an important step for that. Prior segmentation efforts using feature distillation show promise but don't scale to complex objects with diverse appearance. We present a framework to interactively segment objects with fine structure. Nearest neighbor feature matching identifies high-confidence regions of the objects using distilled features. Bilateral filtering in a joint spatio-semantic space grows the region to recover accurate segmentation. We show state-of-the-art results of segmenting objects from RFs and compositing them to another scene, changing appearance, etc., moving closer to rich scene manipulation and understanding.

Reduced system dependability and higher maintenance costs may be the consequence of poor electric power quality, which can disturb normal equipment performance, speed up aging, and even cause outright failures. This study implements and tests a prototype of an Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine (OS-ELM) classifier based on wavelets for detecting power quality problems under transient conditions. In order to create the classifier, the OSELM-network model and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method are combined. First, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) multi-resolution analysis (MRA) was used to extract characteristics of the distorted signal at various resolutions. The OSELM then sorts the retrieved data by transient duration and energy features to determine the kind of disturbance. The suggested approach requires less memory space and processing time since it can minimize a large quantity of the distorted signal's characteristics without changing the signal's original quality. Several types of transient events were used to demonstrate the classifier's ability to detect and categorize various types of power disturbances, including sags, swells, momentary interruptions, oscillatory transients, harmonics, notches, spikes, flickers, sag swell, sag mi, sag harm, swell trans, sag spike, and swell spike.

Arbitrary Style Transfer is a technique used to produce a new image from two images: a content image, and a style image. The newly produced image is unseen and is generated from the algorithm itself. Balancing the structure and style components has been the major challenge that other state-of-the-art algorithms have tried to solve. Despite all the efforts, it's still a major challenge to apply the artistic style that was originally created on top of the structure of the content image while maintaining consistency. In this work, we solved these problems by using a Deep Learning approach using Convolutional Neural Networks. Our implementation will first extract foreground from the background using the pre-trained Detectron 2 model from the content image, and then apply the Arbitrary Style Transfer technique that is used in SANet. Once we have the two styled images, we will stitch the two chunks of images after the process of style transfer for the complete end piece.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are remarkably good at approximating complex non-linear relationships. Most ML training processes, however, are designed to deliver ML tools with good average performance, but do not offer any guarantees about their worst-case estimation error. For safety-critical systems such as power systems, this places a major barrier for their adoption. So far, approaches could determine the worst-case violations of only trained ML algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to introduce a neural network training procedure designed to achieve both a good average performance and minimum worst-case violations. Using the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem as a guiding application, our approach (i) introduces a framework that reduces the worst-case generation constraint violations during training, incorporating them as a differentiable optimization layer; and (ii) presents a neural network sequential learning architecture to significantly accelerate it. We demonstrate the proposed architecture on four different test systems ranging from 39 buses to 162 buses, for both AC-OPF and DC-OPF applications.

Temporal action segmentation tags action labels for every frame in an input untrimmed video containing multiple actions in a sequence. For the task of temporal action segmentation, we propose an encoder-decoder-style architecture named C2F-TCN featuring a "coarse-to-fine" ensemble of decoder outputs. The C2F-TCN framework is enhanced with a novel model agnostic temporal feature augmentation strategy formed by the computationally inexpensive strategy of the stochastic max-pooling of segments. It produces more accurate and well-calibrated supervised results on three benchmark action segmentation datasets. We show that the architecture is flexible for both supervised and representation learning. In line with this, we present a novel unsupervised way to learn frame-wise representation from C2F-TCN. Our unsupervised learning approach hinges on the clustering capabilities of the input features and the formation of multi-resolution features from the decoder's implicit structure. Further, we provide the first semi-supervised temporal action segmentation results by merging representation learning with conventional supervised learning. Our semi-supervised learning scheme, called ``Iterative-Contrastive-Classify (ICC)'', progressively improves in performance with more labeled data. The ICC semi-supervised learning in C2F-TCN, with 40% labeled videos, performs similar to fully supervised counterparts.
