Unit commitment (UC) are essential tools to transmission system operators for finding the most economical and feasible generation schedules and dispatch signals. Constraint screening has been receiving attention as it holds the promise for reducing a number of inactive or redundant constraints in the UC problem, so that the solution process of large scale UC problem can be accelerated by considering the reduced optimization problem. Standard constraint screening approach relies on optimizing over load and generations to find binding line flow constraints, yet the screening is conservative with a large percentage of constraints still reserved for the UC problem. In this paper, we propose a novel machine learning (ML) model to predict the most economical costs given load inputs. Such ML model bridges the cost perspectives of UC decisions to the optimization-based constraint screening model, and can screen out higher proportion of operational constraints. We verify the proposed method's performance on both sample-aware and sample-agnostic setting, and illustrate the proposed scheme can further reduce the computation time on a variety of setup for UC problems.

Recently, a surge of high-quality 3D-aware GANs have been proposed, which leverage the generative power of neural rendering. It is natural to associate 3D GANs with GAN inversion methods to project a real image into the generator's latent space, allowing free-view consistent synthesis and editing, referred as 3D GAN inversion. Although with the facial prior preserved in pre-trained 3D GANs, reconstructing a 3D portrait with only one monocular image is still an ill-pose problem. The straightforward application of 2D GAN inversion methods focuses on texture similarity only while ignoring the correctness of 3D geometry shapes. It may raise geometry collapse effects, especially when reconstructing a side face under an extreme pose. Besides, the synthetic results in novel views are prone to be blurry. In this work, we propose a novel method to promote 3D GAN inversion by introducing facial symmetry prior. We design a pipeline and constraints to make full use of the pseudo auxiliary view obtained via image flipping, which helps obtain a robust and reasonable geometry shape during the inversion process. To enhance texture fidelity in unobserved viewpoints, pseudo labels from depth-guided 3D warping can provide extra supervision. We design constraints aimed at filtering out conflict areas for optimization in asymmetric situations. Comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on image reconstruction and editing demonstrate the superiority of our method.

High-definition (HD) semantic map generation of the environment is an essential component of autonomous driving. Existing methods have achieved good performance in this task by fusing different sensor modalities, such as LiDAR and camera. However, current works are based on raw data or network feature-level fusion and only consider short-range HD map generation, limiting their deployment to realistic autonomous driving applications. In this paper, we focus on the task of building the HD maps in both short ranges, i.e., within 30 m, and also predicting long-range HD maps up to 90 m, which is required by downstream path planning and control tasks to improve the smoothness and safety of autonomous driving. To this end, we propose a novel network named SuperFusion, exploiting the fusion of LiDAR and camera data at multiple levels. We benchmark our SuperFusion on the nuScenes dataset and a self-recorded dataset and show that it outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline methods with large margins. Furthermore, we propose a new metric to evaluate the long-range HD map prediction and apply the generated HD map to a downstream path planning task. The results show that by using the long-range HD maps predicted by our method, we can make better path planning for autonomous vehicles. The code will be available at https://github.com/haomo-ai/SuperFusion.

Spatial-temporal (ST) graph modeling, such as traffic speed forecasting and taxi demand prediction, is an important task in deep learning area. However, for the nodes in graph, their ST patterns can vary greatly in difficulties for modeling, owning to the heterogeneous nature of ST data. We argue that unveiling the nodes to the model in a meaningful order, from easy to complex, can provide performance improvements over traditional training procedure. The idea has its root in Curriculum Learning which suggests in the early stage of training models can be sensitive to noise and difficult samples. In this paper, we propose ST-Curriculum Dropout, a novel and easy-to-implement strategy for spatial-temporal graph modeling. Specifically, we evaluate the learning difficulty of each node in high-level feature space and drop those difficult ones out to ensure the model only needs to handle fundamental ST relations at the beginning, before gradually moving to hard ones. Our strategy can be applied to any canonical deep learning architecture without extra trainable parameters, and extensive experiments on a wide range of datasets are conducted to illustrate that, by controlling the difficulty level of ST relations as the training progresses, the model is able to capture better representation of the data and thus yields better generalization.

High-fidelity facial avatar reconstruction from a monocular video is a significant research problem in computer graphics and computer vision. Recently, Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) has shown impressive novel view rendering results and has been considered for facial avatar reconstruction. However, the complex facial dynamics and missing 3D information in monocular videos raise significant challenges for faithful facial reconstruction. In this work, we propose a new method for NeRF-based facial avatar reconstruction that utilizes 3D-aware generative prior. Different from existing works that depend on a conditional deformation field for dynamic modeling, we propose to learn a personalized generative prior, which is formulated as a local and low dimensional subspace in the latent space of 3D-GAN. We propose an efficient method to construct the personalized generative prior based on a small set of facial images of a given individual. After learning, it allows for photo-realistic rendering with novel views and the face reenactment can be realized by performing navigation in the latent space. Our proposed method is applicable for different driven signals, including RGB images, 3DMM coefficients, and audios. Compared with existing works, we obtain superior novel view synthesis results and faithfully face reenactment performance.

深度学习的视频介绍已取得了令人鼓舞的结果，并引起了研究人员的越来越多的关注。通常，这些方法通常假定每个框架的损坏区掩模都是已知且易于获得的。但是，这些口罩的注释是劳动密集型且昂贵的，这限制了当前方法的实际应用。因此，我们希望通过定义新的半监督镶嵌设置来放松这一假设，使网络具有仅使用一个框架的注释掩码来完成整个视频损坏区域的能力。具体而言，在这项工作中，我们提出了一个由完成网络和掩码预测网络组成的端到端可训练框架，该框架旨在使用已知的掩码生成当前框架的损坏内容，并决定将填充下一个区域框架分别。此外，我们引入了周期一致性损失，以使这两个网络的训练参数正常。这样，完成网络和掩码预测网络可以相互限制，因此可以最大化训练有素的模型的整体性能。此外，由于先验知识的自然存在（例如，损坏的内容和清晰的边界），当前的视频介绍数据集在半监督视频介绍的背景下不适合。因此，我们通过模拟现实情况的损坏视频来创建一个新的数据集。据报道，广泛的实验结果证明了我们在视频介绍任务中模型的优越性。值得注意的是，尽管我们的模型以半监督的方式进行了训练，但它可以作为完全监督的方法实现可比的性能。

创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者的脑网络分析对于其意识水平评估和预后评估至关重要，这需要分割某些意识相关的大脑区域。但是，由于很难收集TBI患者的手动注释的MR扫描，因此很难构建TBI分割模型。数据增强技术可用于缓解数据稀缺问题。但是，常规数据增强策略（例如空间和强度转化）无法模仿创伤性大脑中的变形和病变，这限制了后续分割任务的性能。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一种名为TBIGA的新型医学图像授课模型，以通过配对的脑标签图合成TBI MR扫描。我们的TBIGAN方法的主要优势在于，它可以同时生成TBI图像和相应的标签映射，这在以前的医学图像的先前涂上方法中尚未实现。我们首先按照粗到细节的方式在边缘信息的指导下生成成分的图像，然后将合成强度图像用作标签上填充的先验。此外，我们引入了基于注册的模板增强管道，以增加合成图像对的多样性并增强数据增强能力。实验结果表明，提出的TBIGAN方法可以产生具有高质量和有效标签图的足够合成的TBI图像，这可以大大改善与替代方案相比的2D和3D创伤性脑部分割性能。

随着硬件和算法的开发，ASR（自动语音识别）系统发展了很多。随着模型变得越来越简单，开发和部署的困难变得更加容易，ASR系统正越来越接近我们的生活。一方面，我们经常使用ASR的应用程序或API来生成字幕和记录会议。另一方面，智能扬声器和自动驾驶汽车依靠ASR系统来控制Aiot设备。在过去的几年中，对ASR系统的攻击攻击有很多作品。通过在波形中添加小的扰动，识别结果有很大的不同。在本文中，我们描述了ASR系统的发展，攻击的不同假设以及如何评估这些攻击。接下来，我们在两个攻击假设中介绍了有关对抗性示例攻击的当前作品：白框攻击和黑框攻击。与其他调查不同，我们更多地关注它们在ASR系统中扰动波形，这些攻击之间的关系及其实现方法之间的层。我们专注于他们作品的效果。

希望启用能够自动组装的机器人。对物体部件的结构理解在这项任务中起着至关重要的作用，但仍未探索。在本文中，我们专注于从一组零件几何形状组中设置家具组件的设置，这实质上是一个六型零件姿势估计问题。我们提出了一个基于多层变压器的框架，该框架涉及零件之间的几何和关系推理，以迭代地更新零件。我们仔细设计了一个独特的实例编码，以解决几何相似零件之间的歧义，以便可以区分所有零件。除了从头开始组装外，我们还将我们的框架扩展到一个名为“进程零件组件”的新任务。类似于家具维护，它要求机器人继续使用未完成的产品，并将其余部分组装成适当的位置。我们的方法在公共Partnet数据集上的多个指标中的最新指标比当前的最新指标取得了10％以上。广泛的实验和定量比较证明了所提出的框架的有效性。

上下文信息对于各种计算机视觉任务至关重要，以前的作品通常设计插件模块和结构损失，以有效地提取和汇总全局上下文。这些方法利用优质标签来优化模型，但忽略了精细训练的特征也是宝贵的训练资源，可以将优选的分布引入硬像素（即错误分类的像素）。受到无监督范式的对比学习的启发，我们以监督的方式应用了对比度损失，并重新设计了损失功能，以抛弃无监督学习的刻板印象（例如，积极和负面的不平衡，对锚定计算的混淆）。为此，我们提出了阳性阴性相等的对比损失（PNE损失），这增加了阳性嵌入对锚的潜在影响，并同时对待阳性和阴性样本对。 PNE损失可以直接插入现有的语义细分框架中，并以可忽视的额外计算成本导致出色的性能。我们利用许多经典的分割方法（例如，DeepLabv3，Ocrnet，Upernet）和骨干（例如Resnet，Hrnet，Swin Transformer）进行全面的实验，并在两个基准数据集（例如，例如，例如，，例如城市景观和可可固定）。我们的代码将公开
