denoisis扩散概率模型（DDPM）能够通过引入独立的噪声吸引分类器来在每次deosoing过程的时间步骤中提供条件梯度指导，从而使有条件的图像从先前的噪声到真实数据。但是，由于分类器能够轻松地区分不完全生成的图像仅具有高级结构的能力，因此梯度是一种类信息指导，倾向于尽早消失，导致从条件生成过程中崩溃到无条件过程。为了解决这个问题，我们从两个角度提出了两种简单但有效的方法。对于抽样程序，我们将预测分布的熵作为指导消失水平的度量，并提出一种熵感知的缩放方法，以适应性地恢复条件语义指导。每个生成样品的％。对于训练阶段，我们提出了熵吸引的优化目标，以减轻噪音数据的过度自信预测。在Imagenet1000 256x256中，我们提出的采样方案和训练有素的分类器（预训练的条件和无条件的DDPM模型可以实现10.89％（4.59至4.59至4.09））和43.5％（12至6.78）FID改善。

Scene text recognition (STR) enables computers to recognize and read the text in various real-world scenes. Recent STR models benefit from taking linguistic information in addition to visual cues into consideration. We propose a novel Masked Vision-Language Transformers (MVLT) to capture both the explicit and the implicit linguistic information. Our encoder is a Vision Transformer, and our decoder is a multi-modal Transformer. MVLT is trained in two stages: in the first stage, we design a STR-tailored pretraining method based on a masking strategy; in the second stage, we fine-tune our model and adopt an iterative correction method to improve the performance. MVLT attains superior results compared to state-of-the-art STR models on several benchmarks. Our code and model are available at https://github.com/onealwj/MVLT.

文本视频检索是一项具有巨大实际价值的任务，并受到了越来越多的关注，其中学习时空视频表示是研究热点之一。最先进的视频检索模型中的视频编码通常会直接采用预训练的视觉主链，其网络结构固定，因此无法进一步改进它们以产生细粒度的空间时间表视频表示。在本文中，我们提出了令牌移位和选择网络（TS2-NET），这是一种新型的令牌移动和选择变压器体系结构，该架构会动态调整令牌序列，并从输入视频样本中选择时间和空间维度中的信息令牌。令牌移位模块在时间上暂时移动整个代币特征，来回跨相邻帧，以保留完整的令牌表示并捕获微妙的动作。然后，令牌选择模块选择对局部空间语义贡献最大的令牌。基于彻底的实验，拟议的TS2-NET在主要文本视频检索基准上实现了最先进的性能，包括有关MSRVTT，VATEX，LSMDC，LSMDC，ActivityNetnet和DideMo的新记录。

网络可能具有弱信号和严重程度的异质性，并且可能在一次出现时非常稀疏，但在另一个发生中非常致密。得分（Jin，2015）是最近网络社区检测的方法。它适应严重的程度异质性，并适应不同水平的稀疏性，但它对具有弱信号的网络的性能尚不清楚。在本文中，我们认为，在广泛的网络设置中，我们允许弱信号，严重程度异质性和广泛的网络稀疏性，得分实现了完善的聚类，并且在汉明集群中具有所谓的“指数率”错误。证据对网络邻接矩阵的领先特征向量进行了最新的进出方程。理论分析向我们保证，在弱信号设置中，得分继续运行，但它不排除分数可以进一步提高的可能性，以在实际应用中具有更好的性能，特别是对于具有弱信号的网络。作为纸张的第二份贡献，我们提出得分+作为改进的分数版本。我们调查了8个网络数据集的得分+，发现它优于几种代表性的方法。特别是，对于具有相对强烈的信号的6个数据集，得分+具有与得分相似的性能，但对于2个数据集（Simmons，Caltech）具有可能弱信号，得分+的误差率较低。得分+提出了几个变化以得分。我们使用理论和数值研究的混合物仔细解释每个变化的基本原理。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

Dataset distillation has emerged as a prominent technique to improve data efficiency when training machine learning models. It encapsulates the knowledge from a large dataset into a smaller synthetic dataset. A model trained on this smaller distilled dataset can attain comparable performance to a model trained on the original training dataset. However, the existing dataset distillation techniques mainly aim at achieving the best trade-off between resource usage efficiency and model utility. The security risks stemming from them have not been explored. This study performs the first backdoor attack against the models trained on the data distilled by dataset distillation models in the image domain. Concretely, we inject triggers into the synthetic data during the distillation procedure rather than during the model training stage, where all previous attacks are performed. We propose two types of backdoor attacks, namely NAIVEATTACK and DOORPING. NAIVEATTACK simply adds triggers to the raw data at the initial distillation phase, while DOORPING iteratively updates the triggers during the entire distillation procedure. We conduct extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, architectures, and dataset distillation techniques. Empirical evaluation shows that NAIVEATTACK achieves decent attack success rate (ASR) scores in some cases, while DOORPING reaches higher ASR scores (close to 1.0) in all cases. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive ablation study to analyze the factors that may affect the attack performance. Finally, we evaluate multiple defense mechanisms against our backdoor attacks and show that our attacks can practically circumvent these defense mechanisms.

Automatic music generation with artificial intelligence typically requires a large amount of data which is hard to obtain for many less common genres and musical instruments. To tackle this issue, we present ongoing work and preliminary findings on the possibility for deep models to transfer knowledge from language to music, by finetuning large language models pre-trained on a massive text corpus on only hundreds of MIDI files of drum performances. We show that by doing so, one of the largest, state-of-the-art models (GPT3) is capable of generating reasonable drum grooves, while models that are not pre-trained (Transformer) shows no such ability beyond naive repetition. Evaluating generated music is a challenging task, more so is evaluating drum grooves with little precedence in literature. Hence, we propose a tailored structural evaluation method and analyze drum grooves produced by GPT3 compared to those played by human professionals, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of such generation by language-to-music transfer. Our findings suggest that language-to-music transfer learning with large language models is viable and promising.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown satisfying performance on various graph learning tasks. To achieve better fitting capability, most GNNs are with a large number of parameters, which makes these GNNs computationally expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy them onto edge devices with scarce computational resources, e.g., mobile phones and wearable smart devices. Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a common solution to compress GNNs, where a light-weighted model (i.e., the student model) is encouraged to mimic the behavior of a computationally expensive GNN (i.e., the teacher GNN model). Nevertheless, most existing GNN-based KD methods lack fairness consideration. As a consequence, the student model usually inherits and even exaggerates the bias from the teacher GNN. To handle such a problem, we take initial steps towards fair knowledge distillation for GNNs. Specifically, we first formulate a novel problem of fair knowledge distillation for GNN-based teacher-student frameworks. Then we propose a principled framework named RELIANT to mitigate the bias exhibited by the student model. Notably, the design of RELIANT is decoupled from any specific teacher and student model structures, and thus can be easily adapted to various GNN-based KD frameworks. We perform extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets, which corroborates that RELIANT achieves less biased GNN knowledge distillation while maintaining high prediction utility.

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.
