图形神经网络已被证明可以为各种软件工程任务产生令人印象深刻的结果。但是，现有技术仍然有两个问题：（1）长期依赖性和（2）不同的代码组件在不应该的情况下被视为平等。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一种表示代码为层次结构（代码层次结构）的方法，其中不同的代码组件在各个粒度级别分别表示。然后，为了处理每个表示级别的表示，我们设计了一个新颖的网络体系结构Echelon，它结合了异质图形变压器网络和基于树的卷积神经网络的优势，以学习具有代码依赖性信息丰富的抽象语法树。我们还提出了一个新颖的预处理目标，称为缺失子树预测以补充我们的代码层次结构。评估结果表明，我们的方法在三个任务中大大优于其他基准：任何代码完成，代码分类和代码克隆检测。

在本文中，我们介绍了时间多解决图形神经网络（TMGNN），这是两个学会构建多尺度和多分辨率图结构的第一个体系结构，并结合了时间序列信号以捕获动态图的时间变化。我们已经将我们提出的模型应用于预测流行病和大流行病的任务，该模型是根据几个欧洲国家从实际的covid-19-19-19大流行病和水痘流行中收集的历史时间序列数据，并获得了与其他竞争性的结果相比，与其他竞争性的结果相比先前的最新时间架构和图形学习算法。我们已经表明，捕获图的多尺度和多分辨率结构对于提取本地或全球信息很重要，这些信息在理解全球流行病（例如covid-9）的动态中起着至关重要世界。我们的工作为预测和减轻未来的流行病和流行病带来了有希望的研究方向。

多分辨率矩阵分解（MMF）是不寻常之中的，因为它不会使一个低等级的假设快速矩阵分解算法。这使得MMF尤其适合于模拟某些类型的复杂的多尺度或等级strucutre图形。虽然MMF承诺收益率的有益波基，找到分解本身是硬的，和现有的贪婪方法往往易碎。在本文中，我们提出了MMF的可学习版本carfully优化通过backpropagating错误的强化学习和施蒂费尔歧管优化组合的分解。我们发现，所产生的小波基远远优于之前MMF算法，并提供这种类型的分解的，可以有力部署标准的学习任务的第一个版本。

在本文中，我们提出了多分辨率的等级图变分性Autiachoders（MGVAE），第一层级生成模型以多分辨率和等分的方式学习和生成图。在每个分辨率级别，MGVAE采用更高的顺序消息，以便在学习中对图进行编码，同时学习将其分配到互斥的集群中并赋予最终产生潜在分布的层次结构的较低分辨率。然后，MGVAE构造分层生成模型以改变地解码成粗糙的图形的层次。重要的是，我们提出的框架是关于节点排序的端到端排列等级。MGVAE通过多种生成任务实现竞争结果，包括一般图生成，分子产生，无监督的分子表示学习，以预测分子特性，引用图的链路预测，以及基于图的图像生成。

In this work, we propose a new approach that combines data from multiple sensors for reliable obstacle avoidance. The sensors include two depth cameras and a LiDAR arranged so that they can capture the whole 3D area in front of the robot and a 2D slide around it. To fuse the data from these sensors, we first use an external camera as a reference to combine data from two depth cameras. A projection technique is then introduced to convert the 3D point cloud data of the cameras to its 2D correspondence. An obstacle avoidance algorithm is then developed based on the dynamic window approach. A number of experiments have been conducted to evaluate our proposed approach. The results show that the robot can effectively avoid static and dynamic obstacles of different shapes and sizes in different environments.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in the world, and early DR detection is necessary to prevent vision loss and support an appropriate treatment. In this work, we leverage interactive machine learning and introduce a joint learning framework, termed DRG-Net, to effectively learn both disease grading and multi-lesion segmentation. Our DRG-Net consists of two modules: (i) DRG-AI-System to classify DR Grading, localize lesion areas, and provide visual explanations; (ii) DRG-Expert-Interaction to receive feedback from user-expert and improve the DRG-AI-System. To deal with sparse data, we utilize transfer learning mechanisms to extract invariant feature representations by using Wasserstein distance and adversarial learning-based entropy minimization. Besides, we propose a novel attention strategy at both low- and high-level features to automatically select the most significant lesion information and provide explainable properties. In terms of human interaction, we further develop DRG-Net as a tool that enables expert users to correct the system's predictions, which may then be used to update the system as a whole. Moreover, thanks to the attention mechanism and loss functions constraint between lesion features and classification features, our approach can be robust given a certain level of noise in the feedback of users. We have benchmarked DRG-Net on the two largest DR datasets, i.e., IDRID and FGADR, and compared it to various state-of-the-art deep learning networks. In addition to outperforming other SOTA approaches, DRG-Net is effectively updated using user feedback, even in a weakly-supervised manner.

We introduce an approach for the answer-aware question generation problem. Instead of only relying on the capability of strong pre-trained language models, we observe that the information of answers and questions can be found in some relevant sentences in the context. Based on that, we design a model which includes two modules: a selector and a generator. The selector forces the model to more focus on relevant sentences regarding an answer to provide implicit local information. The generator generates questions by implicitly combining local information from the selector and global information from the whole context encoded by the encoder. The model is trained jointly to take advantage of latent interactions between the two modules. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets show that our model is better than strong pre-trained models for the question generation task. The code is also available (shorturl.at/lV567).

We introduce TeSS (Text Similarity Comparison using Sentence Encoder), a framework for zero-shot classification where the assigned label is determined by the embedding similarity between the input text and each candidate label prompt. We leverage representations from sentence encoders optimized to locate semantically similar samples closer to each other in embedding space during pre-training. The label prompt embeddings serve as prototypes of their corresponding class clusters. Furthermore, to compensate for the potentially poorly descriptive labels in their original format, we retrieve semantically similar sentences from external corpora and additionally use them with the original label prompt (TeSS-R). TeSS outperforms strong baselines on various closed-set and open-set classification datasets under zero-shot setting, with further gains when combined with label prompt diversification through retrieval. These results are robustly attained to verbalizer variations, an ancillary benefit of using a bi-encoder. Altogether, our method serves as a reliable baseline for zero-shot classification and a simple interface to assess the quality of sentence encoders.

Ultrasound is progressing toward becoming an affordable and versatile solution to medical imaging. With the advent of COVID-19 global pandemic, there is a need to fully automate ultrasound imaging as it requires trained operators in close proximity to patients for long period of time. In this work, we investigate the important yet seldom-studied problem of scan target localization, under the setting of lung ultrasound imaging. We propose a purely vision-based, data driven method that incorporates learning-based computer vision techniques. We combine a human pose estimation model with a specially designed regression model to predict the lung ultrasound scan targets, and deploy multiview stereo vision to enhance the consistency of 3D target localization. While related works mostly focus on phantom experiments, we collect data from 30 human subjects for testing. Our method attains an accuracy level of 15.52 (9.47) mm for probe positioning and 4.32 (3.69){\deg} for probe orientation, with a success rate above 80% under an error threshold of 25mm for all scan targets. Moreover, our approach can serve as a general solution to other types of ultrasound modalities. The code for implementation has been released.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a blind source separation method to recover source signals of interest from their mixtures. Most existing ICA procedures assume independent sampling. Second-order-statistics-based source separation methods have been developed based on parametric time series models for the mixtures from the autocorrelated sources. However, the second-order-statistics-based methods cannot separate the sources accurately when the sources have temporal autocorrelations with mixed spectra. To address this issue, we propose a new ICA method by estimating spectral density functions and line spectra of the source signals using cubic splines and indicator functions, respectively. The mixed spectra and the mixing matrix are estimated by maximizing the Whittle likelihood function. We illustrate the performance of the proposed method through simulation experiments and an EEG data application. The numerical results indicate that our approach outperforms existing ICA methods, including SOBI algorithms. In addition, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the proposed method.
