Disentangled representation learning remains challenging as ground truth factors of variation do not naturally exist. To address this, we present Vocabulary Disentanglement Retrieval~(VDR), a simple yet effective retrieval-based disentanglement framework that leverages nature language as distant supervision. Our approach is built upon the widely-used bi-encoder architecture with disentanglement heads and is trained on data-text pairs that are readily available on the web or in existing datasets. This makes our approach task- and modality-agnostic with potential for a wide range of downstream applications. We conduct experiments on 16 datasets in both text-to-text and cross-modal scenarios and evaluate VDR in a zero-shot setting. With the incorporation of disentanglement heads and a minor increase in parameters, VDR achieves significant improvements over the base retriever it is built upon, with a 9% higher on NDCG@10 scores in zero-shot text-to-text retrieval and an average of 13% higher recall in cross-modal retrieval. In comparison to other baselines, VDR outperforms them in most tasks, while also improving explainability and efficiency.

卷积神经网络（CNN）具有一定量的参数冗余，滤波器修剪旨在去除冗余滤波器，并提供在终端设备上应用CNN的可能性。但是，以前的作品更加注重设计了滤波器重要性的评估标准，然后缩短了具有固定修剪率的重要滤波器或固定数量，以减少卷积神经网络的冗余。它不考虑为每层预留有多少筛选器是最合理的选择。从这个角度来看，我们通过搜索适当的过滤器（SNF）来提出新的过滤器修剪方法。 SNF专用于搜索每层的最合理的保留过滤器，然后是具有特定标准的修剪过滤器。它可以根据不同的拖鞋定制最合适的网络结构。通过我们的方法进行过滤器修剪导致CIFAR-10的最先进（SOTA）精度，并在Imagenet ILSVRC-2012上实现了竞争性能。基于Reset-56网络，在Top-中增加了0.14％的增加0.14％ 1对CIFAR-10拖出的52.94％的精度为52.94％。在减少68.68％拖鞋时，CiFar-10上的修剪Resnet-110还提高了0.03％的1 0.03％的精度。对于Imagenet，我们将修剪速率设置为52.10％的拖鞋，前1个精度只有0.74％。该代码可以在https://github.com/pk-l/snf上获得。

远程时间对齐至关重要，但对视频恢复任务有挑战性。最近，一些作品试图将远程对齐分成几个子对齐并逐步处理它们。虽然该操作有助于建模遥控对应关系，但由于传播机制，误差累积是不可避免的。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新颖的通用迭代对准模块，其采用逐渐改进方案进行子对准，产生更准确的运动补偿。为了进一步提高对准精度和时间一致性，我们开发了一种非参数重新加权方法，其中每个相邻帧的重要性以用于聚合的空间方式自适应地评估。凭借拟议的策略，我们的模型在一系列视频恢复任务中实现了多个基准测试的最先进的性能，包括视频超分辨率，去噪和去束性。我们的项目可用于\ url {https:/github.com/redrock303/revisiting-temporal-alignment-for-video-Restion.git}。

Recently deep neural networks, which require a large amount of annotated samples, have been widely applied in nuclei instance segmentation of H\&E stained pathology images. However, it is inefficient and unnecessary to label all pixels for a dataset of nuclei images which usually contain similar and redundant patterns. Although unsupervised and semi-supervised learning methods have been studied for nuclei segmentation, very few works have delved into the selective labeling of samples to reduce the workload of annotation. Thus, in this paper, we propose a novel full nuclei segmentation framework that chooses only a few image patches to be annotated, augments the training set from the selected samples, and achieves nuclei segmentation in a semi-supervised manner. In the proposed framework, we first develop a novel consistency-based patch selection method to determine which image patches are the most beneficial to the training. Then we introduce a conditional single-image GAN with a component-wise discriminator, to synthesize more training samples. Lastly, our proposed framework trains an existing segmentation model with the above augmented samples. The experimental results show that our proposed method could obtain the same-level performance as a fully-supervised baseline by annotating less than 5% pixels on some benchmarks.

Masked Modeling (MM) has demonstrated widespread success in various vision challenges, by reconstructing masked visual patches. Yet, applying MM for large-scale 3D scenes remains an open problem due to the data sparsity and scene complexity. The conventional random masking paradigm used in 2D images often causes a high risk of ambiguity when recovering the masked region of 3D scenes. To this end, we propose a novel informative-preserved reconstruction, which explores local statistics to discover and preserve the representative structured points, effectively enhancing the pretext masking task for 3D scene understanding. Integrated with a progressive reconstruction manner, our method can concentrate on modeling regional geometry and enjoy less ambiguity for masked reconstruction. Besides, such scenes with progressive masking ratios can also serve to self-distill their intrinsic spatial consistency, requiring to learn the consistent representations from unmasked areas. By elegantly combining informative-preserved reconstruction on masked areas and consistency self-distillation from unmasked areas, a unified framework called MM-3DScene is yielded. We conduct comprehensive experiments on a host of downstream tasks. The consistent improvement (e.g., +6.1 mAP@0.5 on object detection and +2.2% mIoU on semantic segmentation) demonstrates the superiority of our approach.

Text style transfer aims to alter the style of a sentence while preserving its content. Due to the lack of parallel corpora, most recent work focuses on unsupervised methods and often uses cycle construction to train models. Since cycle construction helps to improve the style transfer ability of the model by rebuilding transferred sentences back to original-style sentences, it brings about a content loss in unsupervised text style transfer tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel disentanglement-based style transfer model StyleFlow to enhance content preservation. Instead of the typical encoder-decoder scheme, StyleFlow can not only conduct the forward process to obtain the output, but also infer to the input through the output. We design an attention-aware coupling layers to disentangle the content representations and the style representations of a sentence. Besides, we propose a data augmentation method based on Normalizing Flow to improve the robustness of the model. Experiment results demonstrate that our model preserves content effectively and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the most metrics.

The mainstream of the existing approaches for video prediction builds up their models based on a Single-In-Single-Out (SISO) architecture, which takes the current frame as input to predict the next frame in a recursive manner. This way often leads to severe performance degradation when they try to extrapolate a longer period of future, thus limiting the practical use of the prediction model. Alternatively, a Multi-In-Multi-Out (MIMO) architecture that outputs all the future frames at one shot naturally breaks the recursive manner and therefore prevents error accumulation. However, only a few MIMO models for video prediction are proposed and they only achieve inferior performance due to the date. The real strength of the MIMO model in this area is not well noticed and is largely under-explored. Motivated by that, we conduct a comprehensive investigation in this paper to thoroughly exploit how far a simple MIMO architecture can go. Surprisingly, our empirical studies reveal that a simple MIMO model can outperform the state-of-the-art work with a large margin much more than expected, especially in dealing with longterm error accumulation. After exploring a number of ways and designs, we propose a new MIMO architecture based on extending the pure Transformer with local spatio-temporal blocks and a new multi-output decoder, namely MIMO-VP, to establish a new standard in video prediction. We evaluate our model in four highly competitive benchmarks (Moving MNIST, Human3.6M, Weather, KITTI). Extensive experiments show that our model wins 1st place on all the benchmarks with remarkable performance gains and surpasses the best SISO model in all aspects including efficiency, quantity, and quality. We believe our model can serve as a new baseline to facilitate the future research of video prediction tasks. The code will be released.

Arbitrary-oriented object detection is a fundamental task in visual scenes involving aerial images and scene text. In this report, we present PP-YOLOE-R, an efficient anchor-free rotated object detector based on PP-YOLOE. We introduce a bag of useful tricks in PP-YOLOE-R to improve detection precision with marginal extra parameters and computational cost. As a result, PP-YOLOE-R-l and PP-YOLOE-R-x achieve 78.14 and 78.28 mAP respectively on DOTA 1.0 dataset with single-scale training and testing, which outperform almost all other rotated object detectors. With multi-scale training and testing, PP-YOLOE-R-l and PP-YOLOE-R-x further improve the detection precision to 80.02 and 80.73 mAP. In this case, PP-YOLOE-R-x surpasses all anchor-free methods and demonstrates competitive performance to state-of-the-art anchor-based two-stage models. Further, PP-YOLOE-R is deployment friendly and PP-YOLOE-R-s/m/l/x can reach 69.8/55.1/48.3/37.1 FPS respectively on RTX 2080 Ti with TensorRT and FP16-precision.
