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.

预测公路参与者的未来运动对于自动驾驶至关重要，但由于令人震惊的运动不确定性，因此极具挑战性。最近，大多数运动预测方法求助于基于目标的策略，即预测运动轨迹的终点，作为回归整个轨迹的条件，以便可以减少解决方案的搜索空间。但是，准确的目标坐标很难预测和评估。此外，目的地的点表示限制了丰富的道路环境的利用，从而导致预测不准确。目标区域，即可能的目的地区域，而不是目标坐标，可以通过涉及更多的容忍度和指导来提供更软的限制，以搜索潜在的轨迹。考虑到这一点，我们提出了一个新的基于目标区域的框架，名为“目标区域网络”（GANET）进行运动预测，该框架对目标区域进行了建模，而不是确切的目标坐标作为轨迹预测的先决条件，更加可靠，更准确地执行。具体而言，我们建议一个goicrop（目标的目标区域）操作员有效地提取目标区域中的语义巷特征，并在目标区域和模型演员的未来互动中提取语义巷，这对未来的轨迹估计很大。 Ganet在所有公共文献（直到论文提交）中排名第一个，将其源代码排在第一位。

视频异常检测是计算机视觉社区的一项具有挑战性的任务。大多数基于任务的方法都不考虑独特的空间和时间模式的独立性，而两流结构则缺乏对相关性的探索。在本文中，我们提出了时空记忆增强了两个流动自动编码器框架，该框架可以独立学习外观正常和运动正常，并通过对抗性学习探索相关性。具体而言，我们首先设计了两个代理任务来训练两流结构，以隔离地提取外观和运动特征。然后，将原型特征记录在相应的空间和时间内存池中。最后，编码编码网络通过歧视者进行对抗学习，以探索空间和时间模式之间的相关性。实验结果表明，我们的框架优于最先进的方法，在UCSD PED2和CUHK Avenue数据集上，AUC达到98.1％和89.8％。

如图1所示，光学特征识别（OCR）技术已在各种场景中广泛使用。设计实用的OCR系统仍然是一项有意义但具有挑战性的任务。在以前的工作中，考虑到效率和准确性，我们提出了实用的超轻型OCR系统（PP-OCR）和优化的版本PP-OCRV2。为了进一步提高PP-OCRV2的性能，本文提出了更强大的OCR系统PP-OCRV3。 PP-OCRV3基于PP-OCRV2的9个方面升级了文本检测模型和文本识别模型。对于文本检测器，我们引入了一个带有大型接收场LK-PAN的锅模块，该模块是一个名为RSE-FPN的剩余注意机制的FPN模块和DML蒸馏策略。对于文本识别器，基本模型将从CRNN替换为SVTR，我们介绍了轻量级文本识别网络SVTR LCNET，通过注意力进行CTC的指导培训，数据增强策略TextConaug，由自我审查的TextRotnet，UDML和UDML和UDML和UDML和更好的预培训模型。 UIM加速模型并改善效果。实际数据上的实验表明，在可比的推理速度下，PP-OCRV3的Hmean比PP-OCRV2高5％。上述所有上述型号都是开源的，并且代码可在由PaddlePaddle供电的GitHub存储库Paddleocr中可用。

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.

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.

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.

通过利用大型内核分解和注意机制，卷积神经网络（CNN）可以在许多高级计算机视觉任务中与基于变压器的方法竞争。但是，由于远程建模的优势，具有自我注意力的变压器仍然主导着低级视野，包括超分辨率任务。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于CNN的多尺度注意网络（MAN），该网络由多尺度的大内核注意力（MLKA）和一个封闭式的空间注意单元（GSAU）组成，以提高卷积SR网络的性能。在我们的MLKA中，我们使用多尺度和栅极方案纠正LKA，以在各种粒度水平上获得丰富的注意图，从而共同汇总了全局和局部信息，并避免了潜在的阻塞伪像。在GSAU中，我们集成了栅极机制和空间注意力，以消除不必要的线性层和汇总信息丰富的空间环境。为了确认我们的设计的有效性，我们通过简单地堆叠不同数量的MLKA和GSAU来评估具有多种复杂性的人。实验结果表明，我们的人可以在最先进的绩效和计算之间实现各种权衡。代码可从https://github.com/icandle/man获得。
