Unsupervised source-free domain adaptation methods aim to train a model to be used in the target domain utilizing the pretrained source-domain model and unlabeled target-domain data, where the source data may not be accessible due to intellectual property or privacy issues. These methods frequently utilize self-training with pseudo-labeling thresholded by prediction confidence. In a source-free scenario, only supervision comes from target data, and thresholding limits the contribution of the self-training. In this study, we utilize self-training with a mean-teacher approach. The student network is trained with all predictions of the teacher network. Instead of thresholding the predictions, the gradients calculated from the pseudo-labels are weighted based on the reliability of the teacher's predictions. We propose a novel method that uses proxy-based metric learning to estimate reliability. We train a metric network on the encoder features of the teacher network. Since the teacher is updated with the moving average, the encoder feature space is slowly changing. Therefore, the metric network can be updated in training time, which enables end-to-end training. We also propose a metric-based online ClassMix method to augment the input of the student network where the patches to be mixed are decided based on the metric reliability. We evaluated our method in synthetic-to-real and cross-city scenarios. The benchmarks show that our method significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods.

Though impressive success has been witnessed in computer vision, deep learning still suffers from the domain shift challenge when the target domain for testing and the source domain for training do not share an identical distribution. To address this, domain generalization approaches intend to extract domain invariant features that can lead to a more robust model. Hence, increasing the source domain diversity is a key component of domain generalization. Style augmentation takes advantage of instance-specific feature statistics containing informative style characteristics to synthetic novel domains. However, all previous works ignored the correlation between different feature channels or only limited the style augmentation through linear interpolation. In this work, we propose a novel augmentation method, called \textit{Correlated Style Uncertainty (CSU)}, to go beyond the linear interpolation of style statistic space while preserving the essential correlation information. We validate our method's effectiveness by extensive experiments on multiple cross-domain classification tasks, including widely used PACS, Office-Home, Camelyon17 datasets and the Duke-Market1501 instance retrieval task and obtained significant margin improvements over the state-of-the-art methods. The source code is available for public use.

The widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) over the course of the last decades has been a primary catalyst behind the digitalization of power systems. Meanwhile, as the utilization rate of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to rise along with recent advancements in ICT, the need for secure and computationally efficient monitoring of critical infrastructures like the electrical grid and the agents that participate in it is growing. A cyber-physical system, such as the electrical grid, may experience anomalies for a number of different reasons. These may include physical defects, mistakes in measurement and communication, cyberattacks, and other similar occurrences. The goal of this study is to emphasize what the most common incidents are with power systems and to give an overview and classification of the most common ways to find problems, starting with the consumer/prosumer end working up to the primary power producers. In addition, this article aimed to discuss the methods and techniques, such as artificial intelligence (AI) that are used to identify anomalies in the power systems and markets.

Sociability is essential for modern robots to increase their acceptability in human environments. Traditional techniques use manually engineered utility functions inspired by observing pedestrian behaviors to achieve social navigation. However, social aspects of navigation are diverse, changing across different types of environments, societies, and population densities, making it unrealistic to use hand-crafted techniques in each domain. This paper presents a data-driven navigation architecture that uses state-of-the-art neural architectures, namely Conditional Neural Processes, to learn global and local controllers of the mobile robot from observations. Additionally, we leverage a state-of-the-art, deep prediction mechanism to detect situations not similar to the trained ones, where reactive controllers step in to ensure safe navigation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed framework can successfully carry out navigation tasks regarding social norms in the data. Further, we showed that our system produces fewer personal-zone violations, causing less discomfort.

从示范中学习（LFD）提供了一种方便的手段，可以在机器人固有坐标中获得示范时为机器人提供灵巧的技能。但是，长期和复杂技能中复杂错误的问题减少了其广泛的部署。由于大多数此类复杂的技能由组合的较小运动组成，因此将目标技能作为一系列紧凑的运动原语似乎是合理的。在这里，需要解决的问题是确保电动机以允许成功执行后续原始的状态结束。在这项研究中，我们通过提议学习明确的校正政策来关注这个问题，当时未达到原始人之间的预期过渡状态。校正策略本身是通过使用最先进的运动原始学习结构，条件神经运动原语（CNMP）来学习的。然后，学识渊博的校正政策能够以背景方式产生各种运动轨迹。拟议系统比学习完整任务的优点在模拟中显示了一个台式设置，其中必须以两个步骤将对象通过走廊推动。然后，通过为上身类人生物机器人配备具有在3D空间中的条上打结的技巧，显示了所提出的方法在现实世界中进行双重打结的适用性。实验表明，即使面对校正案例不属于人类示范集的一部分，机器人也可以执行成功的打结。

在本文中，我们提出了一个概念学习体系结构，该构建结构使机器人通过与不同数量的对象进行交互来通过自我探索来构建符号。我们的目的是允许机器人在没有约束的情况下学习概念，例如固定数量的相互作用对象或预定义的符号结构。因此，寻求的体系结构应该能够为可以抓住的单个对象，无法抓住的对象堆栈或其他复合动态结构构建符号。为此，我们提出了一种新颖的体系结构，这是一个具有二进制激活层的自我牵键的预测编码器网络。我们通过机器人操纵设置显示了拟议网络的有效性，该设置涉及不同数量的刚性对象。提出的网络使用机器人的连续感觉运动体验来形成效应预测因子和符号结构，以分散方式描述机器人的相互作用。我们表明，使用发现的符号，机器人获得了推理功能来编码不同配置中各种对象的交互动力学。例如，机器人可以认为，如果机器人移动下面的对象，另一个对象顶部（可能的多个数字）对象将一起移动。我们还表明，发现的符号可用于计划通过训练高级神经网络来实现目标，从而纯粹的象征性推理。

视频框架插值（VFI）实现了许多可能涉及时间域的重要应用程序，例如慢运动播放或空间域，例如停止运动序列。我们专注于以前的任务，其中关键挑战之一是在存在复杂运动的情况下处理高动态范围（HDR）场景。为此，我们探索了双曝光传感器的可能优势，这些传感器很容易提供尖锐的短而模糊的长曝光，这些曝光是空间注册并在时间上对齐的两端。这样，运动模糊会在场景运动上暂时连续的信息，这些信息与尖锐的参考结合在一起，可以在单个相机拍摄中进行更精确的运动采样。我们证明，这促进了VFI任务中更复杂的运动重建以及HDR框架重建，迄今为止仅考虑到最初被捕获的框架，而不是插值之间的框架。我们设计了一个在这些任务中训练的神经网络，这些神经网络明显优于现有解决方案。我们还提出了一个场景运动复杂性的度量，该指标在测试时间提供了对VFI方法的性能的重要见解。

One of the most efficient methods for model compression is hint distillation, where the student model is injected with information (hints) from several different layers of the teacher model. Although the selection of hint points can drastically alter the compression performance, conventional distillation approaches overlook this fact and use the same hint points as in the early studies. Therefore, we propose a clustering based hint selection methodology, where the layers of teacher model are clustered with respect to several metrics and the cluster centers are used as the hint points. Our method is applicable for any student network, once it is applied on a chosen teacher network. The proposed approach is validated in CIFAR-100 and ImageNet datasets, using various teacher-student pairs and numerous hint distillation methods. Our results show that hint points selected by our algorithm results in superior compression performance compared to state-of-the-art knowledge distillation algorithms on the same student models and datasets.

我们提出了一种新颖的通用方法，该方法可以找到动作的，离散的对象和效果类别，并为非平凡的行动计划建立概率规则。我们的机器人使用原始操作曲目与对象进行交互，该曲目被认为是早先获取的，并观察到它在环境中可以产生的效果。为了形成动作界面的对象，效果和关系类别，我们在预测性的，深的编码器折线网络中采用二进制瓶颈层，该网络以场景的形象和应用为输入应用的动作，并在场景中生成结果效果在像素坐标中。学习后，二进制潜在向量根据机器人的相互作用体验代表动作驱动的对象类别。为了将神经网络代表的知识提炼成对符号推理有用的规则，对决策树进行了训练以复制其解码器功能。概率规则是从树的决策路径中提取的，并在概率计划域定义语言（PPDDL）中表示，允许现成的计划者根据机器人的感觉运动体验所提取的知识进行操作。模拟机器人操纵器的建议方法的部署使发现对象属性的离散表示，例如``滚动''和``插入''。反过来，将这些表示形式用作符号可以生成有效的计划来实现目标，例如建造所需高度的塔楼，证明了多步物体操纵方法的有效性。最后，我们证明了系统不仅通过评估其对MNIST 8个式式域的适用性来限于机器人域域，在该域​​中，学习的符号允许生成将空图块移至任何给定位置的计划。
