对自然语言处理资源中的偏置模式的提高意识，如BERT，具有许多度量来量化“偏见”和“公平”。但是，如果没有完全不可能，请比较不同指标的结果和评估这些度量的作品仍然困难。我们调查了对预用语言模型的公平度量标准的现有文献，并通过实验评估兼容性，包括语言模型中的偏差，如在其下游任务中。我们通过传统文献调查和相关分析的混合来实现这一目标，以及运行实证评估。我们发现许多指标不兼容，高度依赖于（i）模板，（ii）属性和目标种子和（iii）选择嵌入式。这些结果表明，公平或偏见评估对情境化语言模型仍然具有挑战性，如果不是至少高度主观。为了提高未来的比较和公平评估，我们建议避免嵌入基于的指标并专注于下游任务中的公平评估。

With the rise in high resolution remote sensing technologies there has been an explosion in the amount of data available for forest monitoring, and an accompanying growth in artificial intelligence applications to automatically derive forest properties of interest from these datasets. Many studies use their own data at small spatio-temporal scales, and demonstrate an application of an existing or adapted data science method for a particular task. This approach often involves intensive and time-consuming data collection and processing, but generates results restricted to specific ecosystems and sensor types. There is a lack of widespread acknowledgement of how the types and structures of data used affects performance and accuracy of analysis algorithms. To accelerate progress in the field more efficiently, benchmarking datasets upon which methods can be tested and compared are sorely needed. Here, we discuss how lack of standardisation impacts confidence in estimation of key forest properties, and how considerations of data collection need to be accounted for in assessing method performance. We present pragmatic requirements and considerations for the creation of rigorous, useful benchmarking datasets for forest monitoring applications, and discuss how tools from modern data science can improve use of existing data. We list a set of example large-scale datasets that could contribute to benchmarking, and present a vision for how community-driven, representative benchmarking initiatives could benefit the field.

Detecting persons in images or video with neural networks is a well-studied subject in literature. However, such works usually assume the availability of a camera of decent resolution and a high-performance processor or GPU to run the detection algorithm, which significantly increases the cost of a complete detection system. However, many applications require low-cost solutions, composed of cheap sensors and simple microcontrollers. In this paper, we demonstrate that even on such hardware we are not condemned to simple classic image processing techniques. We propose a novel ultra-lightweight CNN-based person detector that processes thermal video from a low-cost 32x24 pixel static imager. Trained and compressed on our own recorded dataset, our model achieves up to 91.62% accuracy (F1-score), has less than 10k parameters, and runs as fast as 87ms and 46ms on low-cost microcontrollers STM32F407 and STM32F746, respectively.

主动推断是一种特别是理解大脑的第一原理方法，通常是一种有情的药物，而自由能的单一命令。因此，它通过定义代理的生成模型并推断模型参数，动作和隐藏的状态信念，为对人工智能代理建模提供了一个计算帐户。但是，生成模型和隐藏状态空间结构的确切规范留给了实验者，其设计选择会影响代理的产生行为。最近，已经提出了深度学习方法，以从数据中学习隐藏的状态空间结构，从而从这项乏味的设计任务中减轻了实验者，但导致了一个纠缠的，不可解剖的状态空间。在本文中，我们假设这样一种学识渊博的，纠缠的状态空间并不一定会在自由能中产生最佳模型，并且在状态空间中执行不同的因素可以产生较低的模型复杂性。特别是，我们考虑了3D对象表示的问题，并专注于Shapenet数据集的不同实例。我们提出了一个分配对象形状，姿势和类别的模型，同时仍使用深层神经网络学习每个因素的表示形式。我们表明，当活跃代理在达到首选观察方面采用时，具有最佳分离属性的模型在采用时表现最好。
