Multi-modal named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE) aim to leverage relevant image information to improve the performance of NER and RE. Most existing efforts largely focused on directly extracting potentially useful information from images (such as pixel-level features, identified objects, and associated captions). However, such extraction processes may not be knowledge aware, resulting in information that may not be highly relevant. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-modal Retrieval based framework (MoRe). MoRe contains a text retrieval module and an image-based retrieval module, which retrieve related knowledge of the input text and image in the knowledge corpus respectively. Next, the retrieval results are sent to the textual and visual models respectively for predictions. Finally, a Mixture of Experts (MoE) module combines the predictions from the two models to make the final decision. Our experiments show that both our textual model and visual model can achieve state-of-the-art performance on four multi-modal NER datasets and one multi-modal RE dataset. With MoE, the model performance can be further improved and our analysis demonstrates the benefits of integrating both textual and visual cues for such tasks.

对少量语义分割（FSS）的研究引起了极大的关注，目的是在查询图像中仅给出目标类别的少数注释的支持图像。这项具有挑战性的任务的关键是通过利用查询和支持图像之间的细粒度相关性来充分利用支持图像中的信息。但是，大多数现有方法要么将支持信息压缩为几个班级原型，要么在像素级别上使用的部分支持信息（例如，唯一的前景），从而导致不可忽略的信息损失。在本文中，我们提出了密集的像素，互源和支持的注意力加权面膜聚合（DCAMA），其中前景和背景支持信息都是通过配对查询和支持特征之间的多级像素的相关性通过多级像素的相关性充分利用的。 DCAMA在变压器体系结构中以缩放点产生的关注实现，将每个查询像素视为令牌，计算其与所有支持像素的相似之处，并预测其分割标签是所有支持像素标签的添加剂聚集 - 相似之处。基于DCAMA的唯一公式，我们进一步提出了对N-shot分割的有效有效的一通推断，其中所有支持图像的像素立即为掩模聚集收集。实验表明，我们的DCAMA在Pascal-5i，Coco-20i和FSS-1000的标准FSS基准上显着提高了最先进的状态以前的最佳记录。烧烤研究还验证了设计dcama。

最近，已广泛研究了基于深度学习的方法，以进行可变形的图像注册任务。但是，大多数努力将复合图像表示形式直接映射到通过卷积神经网络的空间转换，而忽略了其捕获空间对应关系的有限能力。另一方面，变压器可以更好地表征与注意机制的空间关系，其远程依赖性可能对注册任务有害，在这种情况下，距离太大的体素不太可能是相应的对。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个新型的变形器模块，以及用于可变形图像配准任务的多尺度框架。变形器模块旨在通过将位移矢量预测作为几个碱基的加权总和来促进从图像表示到空间转换的映射。借助多尺度框架以粗略的方式预测位移字段，与传统和基于学习的方法相比，可以实现卓越的性能。进行了两个公共数据集的全面实验，以证明所提出的变形器模块以及多规模框架的有效性。

近年来，目睹了直接建立在点云上的学识渊博的代表。尽管变得越来越表现力，但大多数现有的表示仍然很难产生有序的点集。受到球形多视图扫描仪的启发，我们提出了一种称为Spotlights的新型采样模型，代表3D形状作为深度值的紧凑型1D阵列。它模拟了均匀分布在球体上的摄像机的配置，在该球体上，每个虚拟摄像机都会通过小同心球形盖上的样品点从主要点施放光线，以探测可能与球体包围的物体的相交。因此，结构化点云被隐式地作为深度的函数。我们提供了该新样本方案的详细几何分析，并在点云完成任务的背景下证明了其有效性。合成数据和真实数据的实验结果表明，我们的方法可以达到竞争精度和一致性，同时显着降低了计算成本。此外，我们在下游点云注册任务上显示出优于最新完成方法的性能。

Multiconer共享的任务旨在检测在多种语言的简短和低文本设置中，在语义上模棱两可且复杂的命名实体。缺乏上下文使人们对歧义的命名实体的认识充满挑战。为了减轻此问题，我们的团队Damo-NLP提出了一个基于知识的系统，我们在其中建立了基于Wikipedia的多语言知识基础，以向指定的实体识别（NER）模型提供相关的上下文信息。给定输入句子，我们的系统有效地从知识库中检索了相关上下文。然后，将原始输入句子加强此类上下文信息，从而可以捕获明显更好的上下文化令牌表示。我们的系统在Multiconer共享任务中赢得了13个曲目中的10个。

深度神经网络（DNN）的基本限制之一是无法获取和积累新的认知能力。当出现一些新数据时，例如未在规定的对象集中识别的新对象类别，传统的DNN将无法识别它们由于它需要的基本配方。目前的解决方案通常是从新扩展的数据集中重新设计并重新学习整个网络，或者使用新的配置进行新配置以适应新的知识。这个过程与人类学习者的进程完全不同。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的学习方法，名为ACCRetionary学习（AL）以模拟人类学习，因为可以不预先指定要识别的对象集。相应的学习结构是模块化的，可以动态扩展以注册和使用新知识。在增值学习期间，学习过程不要求系统完全重新设计并重新培训，因为该组对象大小增长。在学习识别新数据类时，所提出的DNN结构不会忘记以前的知识。我们表明，新的结构和设计方法导致了一个系统，可以增长以应对增加的认知复杂性，同时提供稳定和卓越的整体性能。

This work targets designing a principled and unified training-free framework for Neural Architecture Search (NAS), with high performance, low cost, and in-depth interpretation. NAS has been explosively studied to automate the discovery of top-performer neural networks, but suffers from heavy resource consumption and often incurs search bias due to truncated training or approximations. Recent NAS works start to explore indicators that can predict a network's performance without training. However, they either leveraged limited properties of deep networks, or the benefits of their training-free indicators are not applied to more extensive search methods. By rigorous correlation analysis, we present a unified framework to understand and accelerate NAS, by disentangling "TEG" characteristics of searched networks - Trainability, Expressivity, Generalization - all assessed in a training-free manner. The TEG indicators could be scaled up and integrated with various NAS search methods, including both supernet and single-path approaches. Extensive studies validate the effective and efficient guidance from our TEG-NAS framework, leading to both improved search accuracy and over 56% reduction in search time cost. Moreover, we visualize search trajectories on three landscapes of "TEG" characteristics, observing that while a good local minimum is easier to find on NAS-Bench-201 given its simple topology, balancing "TEG" characteristics is much harder on the DARTS search space due to its complex landscape geometry.

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.

Given the increasingly intricate forms of partial differential equations (PDEs) in physics and related fields, computationally solving PDEs without analytic solutions inevitably suffers from the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Recent advances in neural operators, a kind of mesh-independent neural-network-based PDE solvers, have suggested the dawn of overcoming this challenge. In this emerging direction, Koopman neural operator (KNO) is a representative demonstration and outperforms other state-of-the-art alternatives in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Here we present KoopmanLab, a self-contained and user-friendly PyTorch module of the Koopman neural operator family for solving partial differential equations. Beyond the original version of KNO, we develop multiple new variants of KNO based on different neural network architectures to improve the general applicability of our module. These variants are validated by mesh-independent and long-term prediction experiments implemented on representative PDEs (e.g., the Navier-Stokes equation and the Bateman-Burgers equation) and ERA5 (i.e., one of the largest high-resolution data sets of global-scale climate fields). These demonstrations suggest the potential of KoopmanLab to be considered in diverse applications of partial differential equations.
