Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a tremendous impact across most areas of science. Applications of AI in healthcare have the potential to improve our ability to detect, diagnose, prognose, and intervene on human disease. For AI models to be used clinically, they need to be made safe, reproducible and robust, and the underlying software framework must be aware of the particularities (e.g. geometry, physiology, physics) of medical data being processed. This work introduces MONAI, a freely available, community-supported, and consortium-led PyTorch-based framework for deep learning in healthcare. MONAI extends PyTorch to support medical data, with a particular focus on imaging, and provide purpose-specific AI model architectures, transformations and utilities that streamline the development and deployment of medical AI models. MONAI follows best practices for software-development, providing an easy-to-use, robust, well-documented, and well-tested software framework. MONAI preserves the simple, additive, and compositional approach of its underlying PyTorch libraries. MONAI is being used by and receiving contributions from research, clinical and industrial teams from around the world, who are pursuing applications spanning nearly every aspect of healthcare.

Federated learning (FL) enables the building of robust and generalizable AI models by leveraging diverse datasets from multiple collaborators without centralizing the data. We created NVIDIA FLARE as an open-source software development kit (SDK) to make it easier for data scientists to use FL in their research and real-world applications. The SDK includes solutions for state-of-the-art FL algorithms and federated machine learning approaches, which facilitate building workflows for distributed learning across enterprises and enable platform developers to create a secure, privacy-preserving offering for multiparty collaboration utilizing homomorphic encryption or differential privacy. The SDK is a lightweight, flexible, and scalable Python package, and allows researchers to bring their data science workflows implemented in any training libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, or even NumPy) and apply them in real-world FL settings. This paper introduces the key design principles of FLARE and illustrates some use cases (e.g., COVID analysis) with customizable FL workflows that implement different privacy-preserving algorithms.

轻巧的飞行时间（TOF）深度传感器很小，便宜，低能量，并且已在移动设备上大量部署在移动设备上，以进行自动对焦，障碍物检测等。但是，由于其特定的测量值（深度分布）在某个像素时的区域而不是深度值，并且分辨率极低，它们不足以用于需要高保真深度（例如3D重建）的应用。在本文中，我们提出了Deltar，这是一种新颖的方法，可以通过与颜色图像合作来赋予高分辨率和准确深度的能力。作为Deltar的核心，提出了一种用于深度分布的特征提取器，并提出了基于注意力的神经体系结构，以有效地从颜色和TOF域中融合信息。为了在现实世界中评估我们的系统，我们设计了一个数据收集设备，并提出了一种校准RGB摄像头和TOF传感器的新方法。实验表明，我们的方法比旨在使用商品级RGB-D传感器的PAR性能实现的现有框架比现有的框架产生更准确的深度。代码和数据可在https://zju3dv.github.io/deltar/上获得。

联合学习（FL）是一种分布式机器学习技术，可以在避免明确的数据共享的同时进行协作模型培训。 FL算法的固有保护属性使其对医疗领域特别有吸引力。但是，如果有异质的客户数据分布，则标准FL方法是不稳定的，需要密集的超参数调整以实现最佳性能。常规的超参数优化算法在现实世界中的FL应用中是不切实际的，因为它们涉及大量的培训试验，而计算预算有限，这些试验通常是不起作用的。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种有效的增强学习（RL）的联合次数超参数优化算法，称为自动FEDRL，其中在线RL代理可以根据当前的培训进度动态调整每个客户的超参数。进行了广泛的实验以研究不同的搜索策略和RL代理。该方法的有效性在CIFAR-10数据集的异质数据分配以及两个现实世界中的医学图像分割数据集上进行了验证，用于胸部CT中的COVID-19变病变分段，腹部CT中的胰腺细分。

最近，模型驱动的深度学习通过用网络模块替换符号器的一阶信息（即（子）梯度或近端运算符）来拓展到级联网络中的一定迭代算法，该算法呈现出更可说明的与常见的数据驱动网络相比，可以预测。相反，理论上，不一定存在这样的功能常规程序，其一级信息与替换的网络模块匹配，这意味着网络输出可能不被原始正则化模型覆盖。此外，到目前为止，在现实假设下，也没有保证展开网络的全球收敛性和鲁棒性（规律性）。为了弥合这一差距，本文建议在展开网络上提出保障方法。具体而言，专注于加速MRI，我们展开了一个零阶算法，网络模块代表常规器本身，使得网络输出可以仍然被正则化模型覆盖。此外，受到深度均衡模型的理想的启发，在反向化之前，我们执行了展开的迭代网络，以收敛到一个固定点，以确保收敛。如果测量数据包含噪声，我们证明了所提出的网络对嘈杂干扰具有强大。最后，数值实验表明，所提出的网络始终如一地优于最先进的MRI重建方法，包括传统的正规化方法和其他深度学习方法。

视觉变形金刚（VIT）S表现出可观的全球和本地陈述的自我监督学习表现，可以转移到下游应用程序。灵感来自这些结果，我们介绍了一种新的自我监督学习框架，具有用于医学图像分析的定制代理任务。具体而言，我们提出：（i）以新的3D变压器为基础的型号，被称为往返变压器（Swin Unet），具有分层编码器，用于自我监督的预训练; （ii）用于学习人类解剖学潜在模式的定制代理任务。我们展示了来自各种身体器官的5,050个公共可用的计算机断层扫描（CT）图像的提出模型的成功预培训。通过微调超出颅穹窿（BTCV）分割挑战的预先调整训练模型和来自医疗细分牌组（MSD）数据集的分割任务，通过微调训练有素的模型来验证我们的方法的有效性。我们的模型目前是MSD和BTCV数据集的公共测试排行榜上的最先进的（即第1号）。代码：https://monai.io/research/swin-unetr.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown satisfying performance on various graph learning tasks. To achieve better fitting capability, most GNNs are with a large number of parameters, which makes these GNNs computationally expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy them onto edge devices with scarce computational resources, e.g., mobile phones and wearable smart devices. Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a common solution to compress GNNs, where a light-weighted model (i.e., the student model) is encouraged to mimic the behavior of a computationally expensive GNN (i.e., the teacher GNN model). Nevertheless, most existing GNN-based KD methods lack fairness consideration. As a consequence, the student model usually inherits and even exaggerates the bias from the teacher GNN. To handle such a problem, we take initial steps towards fair knowledge distillation for GNNs. Specifically, we first formulate a novel problem of fair knowledge distillation for GNN-based teacher-student frameworks. Then we propose a principled framework named RELIANT to mitigate the bias exhibited by the student model. Notably, the design of RELIANT is decoupled from any specific teacher and student model structures, and thus can be easily adapted to various GNN-based KD frameworks. We perform extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets, which corroborates that RELIANT achieves less biased GNN knowledge distillation while maintaining high prediction utility.

Despite significant progress in object categorization, in recent years, a number of important challenges remain; mainly, the ability to learn from limited labeled data and to recognize object classes within large, potentially open, set of labels. Zero-shot learning is one way of addressing these challenges, but it has only been shown to work with limited sized class vocabularies and typically requires separation between supervised and unsupervised classes, allowing former to inform the latter but not vice versa. We propose the notion of vocabulary-informed learning to alleviate the above mentioned challenges and address problems of supervised, zero-shot, generalized zero-shot and open set recognition using a unified framework. Specifically, we propose a weighted maximum margin framework for semantic manifold-based recognition that incorporates distance constraints from (both supervised and unsupervised) vocabulary atoms. Distance constraints ensure that labeled samples are projected closer to their correct prototypes, in the embedding space, than to others. We illustrate that resulting model shows improvements in supervised, zero-shot, generalized zero-shot, and large open set recognition, with up to 310K class vocabulary on Animal with Attributes and ImageNet datasets.

Advances in computer vision and machine learning techniques have led to significant development in 2D and 3D human pose estimation from RGB cameras, LiDAR, and radars. However, human pose estimation from images is adversely affected by occlusion and lighting, which are common in many scenarios of interest. Radar and LiDAR technologies, on the other hand, need specialized hardware that is expensive and power-intensive. Furthermore, placing these sensors in non-public areas raises significant privacy concerns. To address these limitations, recent research has explored the use of WiFi antennas (1D sensors) for body segmentation and key-point body detection. This paper further expands on the use of the WiFi signal in combination with deep learning architectures, commonly used in computer vision, to estimate dense human pose correspondence. We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input. This paves the way for low-cost, broadly accessible, and privacy-preserving algorithms for human sensing.

With the increasing ability of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) has become a new paradigm for natural language processing (NLP), where LLMs make predictions only based on contexts augmented with a few training examples. It has been a new trend exploring ICL to evaluate and extrapolate the ability of LLMs. In this paper, we aim to survey and summarize the progress, challenges, and future work in ICL. We first present a formal definition of ICL and clarify its correlation to related studies. Then, we organize and discuss advanced techniques of ICL, including training strategies, prompting strategies, and so on. Finally, we present the challenges of ICL and provide potential directions for further research. We hope our work can encourage more research on uncovering how ICL works and improving ICL in future work.
