我们提出了一种新方法，可以在2D超声心动图图像上自动轮廓左心室。与大多数基于预测细分面罩的现有分割方法不同，我们重点是预测该轮廓内（基础和顶点）中的心内膜轮廓和关键地标点。这提供了一种更接近专家如何执行手动注释的表示，因此产生了在生理上更合理的结果。我们提出的方法使用基于U-NET体系结构的两头网络。一个头预测了7个轮廓点，另一个头部预测了轮廓的距离图。将这种方法与U-NET和基于点的方法进行了比较，在具有里程碑意义的定位（<4.5mm）和与地面真相轮廓（<3.5mm）的距离方面，达到30 \％的性能增长。

准确的不确定性估计是医学成像社区的关键需求。已经提出了多种方法，所有直接扩展分类不确定性估计技术。独立像素的不确定性估计通常基于神经网络的概率解释，不考虑解剖学的先验知识，因此为许多细分任务提供了次优的结果。因此，我们提出了不确定性预测方法的酥脆图像分割。 Crisp以其核心实现了一种对比的方法来学习一个共同的潜在空间，该方法编码有效分割及其相应图像的分布。我们使用此联合潜在空间将预测与数千个潜在矢量进行比较，并提供解剖学上一致的不确定性图。在涉及不同方式和器官的四个医学图像数据库上进行的综合研究强调了我们方法的优势与最先进的方法相比。

Many commodity crops have growth stages during which they are particularly vulnerable to stress-induced yield loss. In-season crop progress information is useful for quantifying crop risk, and satellite remote sensing (RS) can be used to track progress at regional scales. At present, all existing RS-based crop progress estimation (CPE) methods which target crop-specific stages rely on ground truth data for training/calibration. This reliance on ground survey data confines CPE methods to surveyed regions, limiting their utility. In this study, a new method is developed for conducting RS-based in-season CPE in unsurveyed regions by combining data from surveyed regions with synthetic crop progress data generated for an unsurveyed region. Corn-growing zones in Argentina were used as surrogate 'unsurveyed' regions. Existing weather generation, crop growth, and optical radiative transfer models were linked to produce synthetic weather, crop progress, and canopy reflectance data. A neural network (NN) method based upon bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory was trained separately on surveyed data, synthetic data, and two different combinations of surveyed and synthetic data. A stopping criterion was developed which uses the weighted divergence of surveyed and synthetic data validation loss. Net F1 scores across all crop progress stages increased by 8.7% when trained on a combination of surveyed region and synthetic data, and overall performance was only 21% lower than when the NN was trained on surveyed data and applied in the US Midwest. Performance gain from synthetic data was greatest in zones with dual planting windows, while the inclusion of surveyed region data from the US Midwest helped mitigate NN sensitivity to noise in NDVI data. Overall results suggest in-season CPE in other unsurveyed regions may be possible with increased quantity and variety of synthetic crop progress data.

Text-to-image generation methods produce high-resolution and high-quality images, but these methods should not produce immoral images that may contain inappropriate content from the commonsense morality perspective. Conventional approaches often neglect these ethical concerns, and existing solutions are limited in avoiding immoral image generation. In this paper, we aim to automatically judge the immorality of synthesized images and manipulate these images into a moral alternative. To this end, we build a model that has the three main primitives: (1) our model recognizes the visual commonsense immorality of a given image, (2) our model localizes or highlights immoral visual (and textual) attributes that make the image immoral, and (3) our model manipulates a given immoral image into a morally-qualifying alternative. We experiment with the state-of-the-art Stable Diffusion text-to-image generation model and show the effectiveness of our ethical image manipulation. Our human study confirms that ours is indeed able to generate morally-satisfying images from immoral ones. Our implementation will be publicly available upon publication to be widely used as a new safety checker for text-to-image generation models.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have demonstrated superiority in learning patterns, but are sensitive to label noises and may overfit noisy labels during training. The early stopping strategy averts updating CNNs during the early training phase and is widely employed in the presence of noisy labels. Motivated by biological findings that the amplitude spectrum (AS) and phase spectrum (PS) in the frequency domain play different roles in the animal's vision system, we observe that PS, which captures more semantic information, can increase the robustness of DNNs to label noise, more so than AS can. We thus propose early stops at different times for AS and PS by disentangling the features of some layer(s) into AS and PS using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) during training. Our proposed Phase-AmplituDe DisentangLed Early Stopping (PADDLES) method is shown to be effective on both synthetic and real-world label-noise datasets. PADDLES outperforms other early stopping methods and obtains state-of-the-art performance.

We present a novel neural model for modern poetry generation in French. The model consists of two pretrained neural models that are fine-tuned for the poem generation task. The encoder of the model is a RoBERTa based one while the decoder is based on GPT-2. This way the model can benefit from the superior natural language understanding performance of RoBERTa and the good natural language generation performance of GPT-2. Our evaluation shows that the model can create French poetry successfully. On a 5 point scale, the lowest score of 3.57 was given by human judges to typicality and emotionality of the output poetry while the best score of 3.79 was given to understandability.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been successfully applied in many applications in computer sciences. Despite the success of deep learning architectures in other domains, deep GNNs still underperform their shallow counterparts. There are many open questions about deep GNNs, but over-smoothing and over-squashing are perhaps the most intriguing issues. When stacking multiple graph convolutional layers, the over-smoothing and over-squashing problems arise and have been defined as the inability of GNNs to learn deep representations and propagate information from distant nodes, respectively. Even though the widespread definitions of both problems are similar, these phenomena have been studied independently. This work strives to understand the underlying relationship between over-smoothing and over-squashing from a topological perspective. We show that both problems are intrinsically related to the spectral gap of the Laplacian of the graph. Therefore, there is a trade-off between these two problems, i.e., we cannot simultaneously alleviate both over-smoothing and over-squashing. We also propose a Stochastic Jost and Liu curvature Rewiring (SJLR) algorithm based on a bound of the Ollivier's Ricci curvature. SJLR is less expensive than previous curvature-based rewiring methods while retaining fundamental properties. Finally, we perform a thorough comparison of SJLR with previous techniques to alleviate over-smoothing or over-squashing, seeking to gain a better understanding of both problems.

We present a novel approach to generating news headlines in Finnish for a given news story. We model this as a summarization task where a model is given a news article, and its task is to produce a concise headline describing the main topic of the article. Because there are no openly available GPT-2 models for Finnish, we will first build such a model using several corpora. The model is then fine-tuned for the headline generation task using a massive news corpus. The system is evaluated by 3 expert journalists working in a Finnish media house. The results showcase the usability of the presented approach as a headline suggestion tool to facilitate the news production process.

We present a method for extracting a multilingual sentiment annotated dialog data set from Fallout New Vegas. The game developers have preannotated every line of dialog in the game in one of the 8 different sentiments: \textit{anger, disgust, fear, happy, neutral, pained, sad } and \textit{surprised}. The game has been translated into English, Spanish, German, French and Italian. We conduct experiments on multilingual, multilabel sentiment analysis on the extracted data set using multilingual BERT, XLMRoBERTa and language specific BERT models. In our experiments, multilingual BERT outperformed XLMRoBERTa for most of the languages, also language specific models were slightly better than multilingual BERT for most of the languages. The best overall accuracy was 54\% and it was achieved by using multilingual BERT on Spanish data. The extracted data set presents a challenging task for sentiment analysis. We have released the data, including the testing and training splits, openly on Zenodo. The data set has been shuffled for copyright reasons.

One of the important topics in the research field of Chinese classical poetry is to analyze the poetic style. By examining the relevant works of previous dynasties, researchers judge a poetic style mostly by their subjective feelings, and refer to the previous evaluations that have become a certain conclusion. Although this judgment method is often effective, there may be some errors. This paper builds the most perfect data set of Chinese classical poetry at present, trains a BART-poem pre -trained model on this data set, and puts forward a generally applicable poetry style judgment method based on this BART-poem model, innovatively introduces in-depth learning into the field of computational stylistics, and provides a new research method for the study of classical poetry. This paper attempts to use this method to solve the problem of poetry style identification in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and takes the poetry schools that are considered to have a relatively clear and consistent poetic style, such as the Hongzheng Qizi and Jiajing Qizi, Jiangxi poetic school and Tongguang poetic school, as the research object, and takes the poems of their representative poets for testing. Experiments show that the judgment results of the tested poetry work made by the model are basically consistent with the conclusions given by critics of previous dynasties, verify some avant-garde judgments of Mr. Qian Zhongshu, and better solve the task of poetry style recognition in the Tang and Song dynasties.
