尽管已经提出了许多方法来增强对抗性扰动的可转移性，但这些方法是以启发式方式设计的，并且尚不清楚改善对抗性转移性的基本机制。本文总结了在统一视图中以十二个以前的可传递性提高方法共享的共同机制，即这些方法都减少了区域对抗性扰动之间的游戏理论相互作用。为此，我们专注于区域对抗扰动之间所有相互作用的攻击效用，我们首先发现并证明了对抗传递性与相互作用的攻击效用之间的负相关性。基于这一发现，我们从理论上证明并从经验上验证了十二种以前的可传递性提高方法均减少了区域对抗扰动之间的相互作用。更重要的是，我们将相互作用的减少视为增强对抗性转移性的基本原因。此外，我们设计了交互损失，以直接惩罚攻击过程中区域对抗扰动之间的相互作用。实验结果表明，相互作用损失显着提高了对抗扰动的转移性。

在大脑中找到适当的动态活动的适当表示对于许多下游应用至关重要。由于其高度动态的性质，暂时平均fMRI（功能磁共振成像）只能提供狭窄的脑活动视图。以前的作品缺乏学习和解释大脑体系结构中潜在动态的能力。本文构建了一个有效的图形神经网络模型，该模型均包含了从DWI（扩散加权成像）获得的区域映射的fMRI序列和结构连接性作为输入。我们通过学习样品水平的自适应邻接矩阵并进行新型多分辨率内群平滑来发现潜在大脑动力学的良好表示。我们还将输入归因于具有集成梯度的输入，这使我们能够针对每个任务推断（1）高度涉及的大脑连接和子网络，（2）成像序列的时间键帧，这些成像序列表征了任务，以及（3）歧视单个主体的子网络。这种识别特征在异质任务和个人中表征信号状态的关键子网的能力对神经科学和其他科学领域至关重要。广泛的实验和消融研究表明，我们提出的方法在空间 - 周期性图信号建模中的优越性和效率，具有对脑动力学的深刻解释。

基于常规卷积网络的视频超分辨率（VSR）方法具有很强的视频序列的时间建模能力。然而，在单向反复卷积网络中的不同反复单元接收的输入信息不平衡。早期重建帧接收较少的时间信息，导致模糊或工件效果。虽然双向反复卷积网络可以缓解这个问题，但它大大提高了重建时间和计算复杂性。它也不适用于许多应用方案，例如在线超分辨率。为了解决上述问题，我们提出了一种端到端信息预构建的经常性重建网络（IPRRN），由信息预构建网络（IPNet）和经常性重建网络（RRNET）组成。通过将足够的信息从视频的前面集成来构建初始复发单元所需的隐藏状态，以帮助恢复较早的帧，信息预构建的网络在不向后传播之前和之后的输入信息差异。此外，我们展示了一种紧凑的复发性重建网络，可显着改善恢复质量和时间效率。许多实验已经验证了我们所提出的网络的有效性，并与现有的最先进方法相比，我们的方法可以有效地实现更高的定量和定性评估性能。

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation is a promising task freeing people from heavy annotation work. However, domain discrepancies in low-level image statistics and high-level contexts compromise the segmentation performance over the target domain. A key idea to tackle this problem is to perform both image-level and feature-level adaptation jointly. Unfortunately, there is a lack of such unified approaches for UDA tasks in the existing literature. This paper proposes a novel UDA pipeline for semantic segmentation that unifies image-level and feature-level adaptation. Concretely, for image-level domain shifts, we propose a global photometric alignment module and a global texture alignment module that align images in the source and target domains in terms of image-level properties. For feature-level domain shifts, we perform global manifold alignment by projecting pixel features from both domains onto the feature manifold of the source domain; and we further regularize category centers in the source domain through a category-oriented triplet loss and perform target domain consistency regularization over augmented target domain images. Experimental results demonstrate that our pipeline significantly outperforms previous methods. In the commonly tested GTA5$\rightarrow$Cityscapes task, our proposed method using Deeplab V3+ as the backbone surpasses previous SOTA by 8%, achieving 58.2% in mIoU.

Compressed videos often exhibit visually annoying artifacts, known as Perceivable Encoding Artifacts (PEAs), which dramatically degrade video visual quality. Subjective and objective measures capable of identifying and quantifying various types of PEAs are critical in improving visual quality. In this paper, we investigate the influence of four spatial PEAs (i.e. blurring, blocking, bleeding, and ringing) and two temporal PEAs (i.e. flickering and floating) on video quality. For spatial artifacts, we propose a visual saliency model with a low computational cost and higher consistency with human visual perception. In terms of temporal artifacts, self-attention based TimeSFormer is improved to detect temporal artifacts. Based on the six types of PEAs, a quality metric called Saliency-Aware Spatio-Temporal Artifacts Measurement (SSTAM) is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art metrics. We believe that SSTAM will be beneficial for optimizing video coding techniques.

Image Virtual try-on aims at replacing the cloth on a personal image with a garment image (in-shop clothes), which has attracted increasing attention from the multimedia and computer vision communities. Prior methods successfully preserve the character of clothing images, however, occlusion remains a pernicious effect for realistic virtual try-on. In this work, we first present a comprehensive analysis of the occlusions and categorize them into two aspects: i) Inherent-Occlusion: the ghost of the former cloth still exists in the try-on image; ii) Acquired-Occlusion: the target cloth warps to the unreasonable body part. Based on the in-depth analysis, we find that the occlusions can be simulated by a novel semantically-guided mixup module, which can generate semantic-specific occluded images that work together with the try-on images to facilitate training a de-occlusion try-on (DOC-VTON) framework. Specifically, DOC-VTON first conducts a sharpened semantic parsing on the try-on person. Aided by semantics guidance and pose prior, various complexities of texture are selectively blending with human parts in a copy-and-paste manner. Then, the Generative Module (GM) is utilized to take charge of synthesizing the final try-on image and learning to de-occlusion jointly. In comparison to the state-of-the-art methods, DOC-VTON achieves better perceptual quality by reducing occlusion effects.

Panoptic Part Segmentation (PPS) unifies panoptic segmentation and part segmentation into one task. Previous works utilize separated approaches to handle thing, stuff, and part predictions without shared computation and task association. We aim to unify these tasks at the architectural level, designing the first end-to-end unified framework named Panoptic-PartFormer. Moreover, we find the previous metric PartPQ biases to PQ. To handle both issues, we make the following contributions: Firstly, we design a meta-architecture that decouples part feature and things/stuff feature, respectively. We model things, stuff, and parts as object queries and directly learn to optimize all three forms of prediction as a unified mask prediction and classification problem. We term our model as Panoptic-PartFormer. Secondly, we propose a new metric Part-Whole Quality (PWQ) to better measure such task from both pixel-region and part-whole perspectives. It can also decouple the error for part segmentation and panoptic segmentation. Thirdly, inspired by Mask2Former, based on our meta-architecture, we propose Panoptic-PartFormer++ and design a new part-whole cross attention scheme to further boost part segmentation qualities. We design a new part-whole interaction method using masked cross attention. Finally, the extensive ablation studies and analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of both Panoptic-PartFormer and Panoptic-PartFormer++. Compared with previous Panoptic-PartFormer, our Panoptic-PartFormer++ achieves 2% PartPQ and 3% PWQ improvements on the Cityscapes PPS dataset and 5% PartPQ on the Pascal Context PPS dataset. On both datasets, Panoptic-PartFormer++ achieves new state-of-the-art results with a significant cost drop of 70% on GFlops and 50% on parameters. Our models can serve as a strong baseline and aid future research in PPS. Code will be available.

In recent years, the Transformer architecture has shown its superiority in the video-based person re-identification task. Inspired by video representation learning, these methods mainly focus on designing modules to extract informative spatial and temporal features. However, they are still limited in extracting local attributes and global identity information, which are critical for the person re-identification task. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Stage Spatial-Temporal Aggregation Transformer (MSTAT) with two novel designed proxy embedding modules to address the above issue. Specifically, MSTAT consists of three stages to encode the attribute-associated, the identity-associated, and the attribute-identity-associated information from the video clips, respectively, achieving the holistic perception of the input person. We combine the outputs of all the stages for the final identification. In practice, to save the computational cost, the Spatial-Temporal Aggregation (STA) modules are first adopted in each stage to conduct the self-attention operations along the spatial and temporal dimensions separately. We further introduce the Attribute-Aware and Identity-Aware Proxy embedding modules (AAP and IAP) to extract the informative and discriminative feature representations at different stages. All of them are realized by employing newly designed self-attention operations with specific meanings. Moreover, temporal patch shuffling is also introduced to further improve the robustness of the model. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules in extracting the informative and discriminative information from the videos, and illustrate the MSTAT can achieve state-of-the-art accuracies on various standard benchmarks.

This paper illustrates the technologies of user next intent prediction with a concept knowledge graph. The system has been deployed on the Web at Alipay, serving more than 100 million daily active users. Specifically, we propose AlipayKG to explicitly characterize user intent, which is an offline concept knowledge graph in the Life-Service domain modeling the historical behaviors of users, the rich content interacted by users and the relations between them. We further introduce a Transformer-based model which integrates expert rules from the knowledge graph to infer the online user's next intent. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can effectively enhance the performance of the downstream tasks while retaining explainability.
