阶级不平衡问题很重要且具有挑战性。合奏方法由于其有效性而广泛用于解决此问题。但是，现有的合奏方法始终应用于原始样本中，而没有考虑原始样本之间的结构信息。限制将阻止不平衡的学习变得更好。此外，研究表明，样本中的结构信息包括本地和全球结构信息。基于上面的分析，此处提出了具有深层样本前网络（DSEN）（DSEN）和局部全球结构一致性机制（LGSCM）的不平衡合奏算法，以解决该问题。该算法可以保证高质量的深层信封样品用于用于考虑到本地流形和全球结构信息，这有助于失衡学习。首先，深层样品包络预网（DSEN）旨在挖掘样品之间的结构信息。样品。接下来，将DSEN和LGSCM放在一起以形成最终的深层样品网络网络（DSEN-LG）。之后，分别将基本分类器应用于深样品的层。最后，通过装袋集合学习机制融合了基本分类器的预测结果。为了证明该方法的有效性，选择了四十四个公共数据集和十多种代表性相关算法进行验证。实验结果表明，该算法明显优于其他不平衡的集合算法。

帕金森病（PD）的语音识别是其诊断的有效途径，近年来已成为一个炎热和困难的研究区。众所周知，一个主题中有大型语料库（段）。但是，太大的段会增加分类模型的复杂性。此外，临床医生有兴趣找到反映整个主题病理的诊断语音标记。由于每个语音样本段的最佳相关特征是不同的，因此难以找到均匀的诊断标记。因此，有必要将一个受试者内的现有的大段重构为几个段中的几个段，其可以促进相关语音特征的提取，以表征整个主题的诊断标记。为了解决这个问题，本文提出了一种基于多层模糊C均值（MLFCM）聚类和层间一致性保存的帕金森科目的封闭深音样本学习算法。该算法可用于实现帕金森病（PD）的对象内部样品重建，以获得少量的高质量原型样品段。在纸张结束时，分别选择了几个代表性的PD语音数据集，并将其与最先进的相关方法进行比较。实验结果表明，该算法有效地意识到。

由于机器学习和数据挖掘领域的不平衡数据集的分类问题，但学习的不平衡学习是重要的并且具有挑战性。提出采样方法来解决这个问题，而基于群集的过采样方法表现出很大的潜力，因为它们的目标是同时解决课堂和级别的不平衡问题。但是，所有现有的聚类方法都基于一次性方法。由于缺乏先验知识，通常存在的群集数量不当设置，这导致集群性能不佳。此外，现有方法可能会产生嘈杂的情况。为了解决这些问题，本文提出了一种基于模糊C-MATION（MLFCM）的基于深度外观信封网络的不平衡学习算法，以及基于最大均值（MINMD）的最小中间层间差异机制。在没有先前知识的情况下，该算法可以使用深度实例包络网络来保证高质量的平衡实例。在实验部分中，三十三个流行的公共数据集用于验证，并且超过十个代表性算法用于比较。实验结果表明，该方法显着优于其他流行的方法。

在过去的几年中，基于卷积的神经网络（CNN）的人群计数方法已取得了有希望的结果。但是，对于准确的计数估计，量表变化问题仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一个多尺度特征聚合网络（MSFANET），可以在某种程度上减轻此问题。具体而言，我们的方法由两个特征聚合模块组成：短聚合（Shortagg）和Skip Contregation（Skipagg）。 Shortagg模块聚集了相邻卷积块的特征。其目的是制作具有从网络底部逐渐融合的不同接收场的功能。 Skipagg模块将具有小型接受场的特征直接传播到具有更大接收场的特征。它的目的是促进特征与大小接收场的融合。尤其是，Skipagg模块引入了Swin Transformer块中的本地自我注意力特征，以结合丰富的空间信息。此外，我们通过考虑不均匀的人群分布来提出基于局部和全球的计数损失。在四个具有挑战性的数据集（Shanghaitech数据集，UCF_CC_50数据集，UCF-QNRF数据集，WorldExpo'10数据集）上进行了广泛的实验，这表明与先前的先前的尚未实行的方法相比，提出的易于实现的MSFANET可以实现有希望的结果。

Masked image modeling (MIM) performs strongly in pre-training large vision Transformers (ViTs). However, small models that are critical for real-world applications cannot or only marginally benefit from this pre-training approach. In this paper, we explore distillation techniques to transfer the success of large MIM-based pre-trained models to smaller ones. We systematically study different options in the distillation framework, including distilling targets, losses, input, network regularization, sequential distillation, etc, revealing that: 1) Distilling token relations is more effective than CLS token- and feature-based distillation; 2) An intermediate layer of the teacher network as target perform better than that using the last layer when the depth of the student mismatches that of the teacher; 3) Weak regularization is preferred; etc. With these findings, we achieve significant fine-tuning accuracy improvements over the scratch MIM pre-training on ImageNet-1K classification, using all the ViT-Tiny, ViT-Small, and ViT-base models, with +4.2%/+2.4%/+1.4% gains, respectively. Our TinyMIM model of base size achieves 52.2 mIoU in AE20K semantic segmentation, which is +4.1 higher than the MAE baseline. Our TinyMIM model of tiny size achieves 79.6% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K image classification, which sets a new record for small vision models of the same size and computation budget. This strong performance suggests an alternative way for developing small vision Transformer models, that is, by exploring better training methods rather than introducing inductive biases into architectures as in most previous works.

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

Dataset distillation has emerged as a prominent technique to improve data efficiency when training machine learning models. It encapsulates the knowledge from a large dataset into a smaller synthetic dataset. A model trained on this smaller distilled dataset can attain comparable performance to a model trained on the original training dataset. However, the existing dataset distillation techniques mainly aim at achieving the best trade-off between resource usage efficiency and model utility. The security risks stemming from them have not been explored. This study performs the first backdoor attack against the models trained on the data distilled by dataset distillation models in the image domain. Concretely, we inject triggers into the synthetic data during the distillation procedure rather than during the model training stage, where all previous attacks are performed. We propose two types of backdoor attacks, namely NAIVEATTACK and DOORPING. NAIVEATTACK simply adds triggers to the raw data at the initial distillation phase, while DOORPING iteratively updates the triggers during the entire distillation procedure. We conduct extensive evaluations on multiple datasets, architectures, and dataset distillation techniques. Empirical evaluation shows that NAIVEATTACK achieves decent attack success rate (ASR) scores in some cases, while DOORPING reaches higher ASR scores (close to 1.0) in all cases. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive ablation study to analyze the factors that may affect the attack performance. Finally, we evaluate multiple defense mechanisms against our backdoor attacks and show that our attacks can practically circumvent these defense mechanisms.

Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) remains challenging due to the diversity of distortion and image content variation, which complicate the distortion patterns crossing different scales and aggravate the difficulty of the regression problem for BIQA. However, existing BIQA methods often fail to consider multi-scale distortion patterns and image content, and little research has been done on learning strategies to make the regression model produce better performance. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective Progressive Multi-Task Image Quality Assessment (PMT-IQA) model, which contains a multi-scale feature extraction module (MS) and a progressive multi-task learning module (PMT), to help the model learn complex distortion patterns and better optimize the regression issue to align with the law of human learning process from easy to hard. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed PMT-IQA model, we conduct experiments on four widely used public datasets, and the experimental results indicate that the performance of PMT-IQA is superior to the comparison approaches, and both MS and PMT modules improve the model's performance.

Automatic music generation with artificial intelligence typically requires a large amount of data which is hard to obtain for many less common genres and musical instruments. To tackle this issue, we present ongoing work and preliminary findings on the possibility for deep models to transfer knowledge from language to music, by finetuning large language models pre-trained on a massive text corpus on only hundreds of MIDI files of drum performances. We show that by doing so, one of the largest, state-of-the-art models (GPT3) is capable of generating reasonable drum grooves, while models that are not pre-trained (Transformer) shows no such ability beyond naive repetition. Evaluating generated music is a challenging task, more so is evaluating drum grooves with little precedence in literature. Hence, we propose a tailored structural evaluation method and analyze drum grooves produced by GPT3 compared to those played by human professionals, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of such generation by language-to-music transfer. Our findings suggest that language-to-music transfer learning with large language models is viable and promising.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.
