作为反对攻击的最有效的防御方法之一，对抗性训练倾向于学习包容性的决策边界，以提高深度学习模型的鲁棒性。但是，由于沿对抗方向的边缘的大幅度和不必要的增加，对抗性训练会在自然实例和对抗性示例之间引起严重的交叉，这不利于平衡稳健性和自然准确性之间的权衡。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的对抗训练计划，以在稳健性和自然准确性之间进行更好的权衡。它旨在学习一个中度包容的决策边界，这意味着决策边界下的自然示例的边缘是中等的。我们称此方案为中等边缘的对抗训练（MMAT），该方案生成更细粒度的对抗示例以减轻交叉问题。我们还利用了经过良好培训的教师模型的逻辑来指导我们的模型学习。最后，MMAT在Black-Box和White-Box攻击下都可以实现高自然的精度和鲁棒性。例如，在SVHN上，实现了最新的鲁棒性和自然精度。

最近的研究表明，深度神经网络（DNNS）极易受到精心设计的对抗例子的影响。对那些对抗性例子的对抗性学习已被证明是防御这种攻击的最有效方法之一。目前，大多数现有的对抗示例生成方法基于一阶梯度，这几乎无法进一步改善模型的鲁棒性，尤其是在面对二阶对抗攻击时。与一阶梯度相比，二阶梯度提供了相对于自然示例的损失格局的更准确近似。受此启发的启发，我们的工作制作了二阶的对抗示例，并使用它们来训练DNNS。然而，二阶优化涉及Hessian Inverse的耗时计算。我们通过将问题转换为Krylov子空间中的优化，提出了一种近似方法，该方法显着降低了计算复杂性以加快训练过程。在矿工和CIFAR-10数据集上进行的广泛实验表明，我们使用二阶对抗示例的对抗性学习优于其他FISRT-阶方法，这可以改善针对广泛攻击的模型稳健性。

RGB热场景解析最近吸引了计算机视野领域的越来越多的研究兴趣。但是，大多数现有方法都无法对预测映射进行良好的边界提取，并且不能完全使用高级功能。此外，这些方法简单地融合了RGB和热模式的特征，但无法获得全面的融合功能。为解决这些问题，我们提出了一个用于RGB热场景解析的边缘感知指导融合网络（EGFNet）。首先，我们介绍使用RGB和热图像生成的先前边缘映射，以捕获预测映射中的详细信息，然后在特征映射中嵌入先前的边缘信息。为了有效地熔断RGB和热信息，我们提出了一种多峰融合模块，可确保足够的跨模型融合。考虑到高级语义信息的重要性，我们提出了全局信息模块和语义信息模块，以从高级功能中提取丰富的语义信息。为了解码，我们使用简单的元素添加级联特征融合。最后，为了提高解析精度，我们将多任务深入监督对语义和边界映射应用。对基准数据集进行了广泛的实验，以证明所提出的ENFNET的有效性及其与现有技术的状态相比的优越性。代码和结果可以在https://github.com/shaohuadong2021/gfnet找到。

Due to their ability to offer more comprehensive information than data from a single view, multi-view (multi-source, multi-modal, multi-perspective, etc.) data are being used more frequently in remote sensing tasks. However, as the number of views grows, the issue of data quality becomes more apparent, limiting the potential benefits of multi-view data. Although recent deep neural network (DNN) based models can learn the weight of data adaptively, a lack of research on explicitly quantifying the data quality of each view when fusing them renders these models inexplicable, performing unsatisfactorily and inflexible in downstream remote sensing tasks. To fill this gap, in this paper, evidential deep learning is introduced to the task of aerial-ground dual-view remote sensing scene classification to model the credibility of each view. Specifically, the theory of evidence is used to calculate an uncertainty value which describes the decision-making risk of each view. Based on this uncertainty, a novel decision-level fusion strategy is proposed to ensure that the view with lower risk obtains more weight, making the classification more credible. On two well-known, publicly available datasets of aerial-ground dual-view remote sensing images, the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art results, demonstrating its effectiveness. The code and datasets of this article are available at the following address: https://github.com/gaopiaoliang/Evidential.

Video-language pre-training has advanced the performance of various downstream video-language tasks. However, most previous methods directly inherit or adapt typical image-language pre-training paradigms to video-language pre-training, thus not fully exploiting the unique characteristic of video, i.e., temporal. In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Temporal-Aware video-language pre-training framework, HiTeA, with two novel pre-training tasks for modeling cross-modal alignment between moments and texts as well as the temporal relations of video-text pairs. Specifically, we propose a cross-modal moment exploration task to explore moments in videos, which results in detailed video moment representation. Besides, the inherent temporal relations are captured by aligning video-text pairs as a whole in different time resolutions with multi-modal temporal relation exploration task. Furthermore, we introduce the shuffling test to evaluate the temporal reliance of datasets and video-language pre-training models. We achieve state-of-the-art results on 15 well-established video-language understanding and generation tasks, especially on temporal-oriented datasets (e.g., SSv2-Template and SSv2-Label) with 8.6% and 11.1% improvement respectively. HiTeA also demonstrates strong generalization ability when directly transferred to downstream tasks in a zero-shot manner. Models and demo will be available on ModelScope.

Face manipulation detection has been receiving a lot of attention for the reliability and security of the face images. Recent studies focus on using auxiliary information or prior knowledge to capture robust manipulation traces, which are shown to be promising. As one of the important face features, the face depth map, which has shown to be effective in other areas such as the face recognition or face detection, is unfortunately paid little attention to in literature for detecting the manipulated face images. In this paper, we explore the possibility of incorporating the face depth map as auxiliary information to tackle the problem of face manipulation detection in real world applications. To this end, we first propose a Face Depth Map Transformer (FDMT) to estimate the face depth map patch by patch from a RGB face image, which is able to capture the local depth anomaly created due to manipulation. The estimated face depth map is then considered as auxiliary information to be integrated with the backbone features using a Multi-head Depth Attention (MDA) mechanism that is newly designed. Various experiments demonstrate the advantage of our proposed method for face manipulation detection.

Implicit regularization is an important way to interpret neural networks. Recent theory starts to explain implicit regularization with the model of deep matrix factorization (DMF) and analyze the trajectory of discrete gradient dynamics in the optimization process. These discrete gradient dynamics are relatively small but not infinitesimal, thus fitting well with the practical implementation of neural networks. Currently, discrete gradient dynamics analysis has been successfully applied to shallow networks but encounters the difficulty of complex computation for deep networks. In this work, we introduce another discrete gradient dynamics approach to explain implicit regularization, i.e. landscape analysis. It mainly focuses on gradient regions, such as saddle points and local minima. We theoretically establish the connection between saddle point escaping (SPE) stages and the matrix rank in DMF. We prove that, for a rank-R matrix reconstruction, DMF will converge to a second-order critical point after R stages of SPE. This conclusion is further experimentally verified on a low-rank matrix reconstruction problem. This work provides a new theory to analyze implicit regularization in deep learning.

Future work sentences (FWS) are the particular sentences in academic papers that contain the author's description of their proposed follow-up research direction. This paper presents methods to automatically extract FWS from academic papers and classify them according to the different future directions embodied in the paper's content. FWS recognition methods will enable subsequent researchers to locate future work sentences more accurately and quickly and reduce the time and cost of acquiring the corpus. The current work on automatic identification of future work sentences is relatively small, and the existing research cannot accurately identify FWS from academic papers, and thus cannot conduct data mining on a large scale. Furthermore, there are many aspects to the content of future work, and the subdivision of the content is conducive to the analysis of specific development directions. In this paper, Nature Language Processing (NLP) is used as a case study, and FWS are extracted from academic papers and classified into different types. We manually build an annotated corpus with six different types of FWS. Then, automatic recognition and classification of FWS are implemented using machine learning models, and the performance of these models is compared based on the evaluation metrics. The results show that the Bernoulli Bayesian model has the best performance in the automatic recognition task, with the Macro F1 reaching 90.73%, and the SCIBERT model has the best performance in the automatic classification task, with the weighted average F1 reaching 72.63%. Finally, we extract keywords from FWS and gain a deep understanding of the key content described in FWS, and we also demonstrate that content determination in FWS will be reflected in the subsequent research work by measuring the similarity between future work sentences and the abstracts.

We propose, Monte Carlo Nonlocal physics-informed neural networks (MC-Nonlocal-PINNs), which is a generalization of MC-fPINNs in \cite{guo2022monte}, for solving general nonlocal models such as integral equations and nonlocal PDEs. Similar as in MC-fPINNs, our MC-Nonlocal-PINNs handle the nonlocal operators in a Monte Carlo way, resulting in a very stable approach for high dimensional problems. We present a variety of test problems, including high dimensional Volterra type integral equations, hypersingular integral equations and nonlocal PDEs, to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Marine waves significantly disturb the unmanned surface vehicle (USV) motion. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can hardly land on a USV that undergoes irregular motion. An oversized landing platform is usually necessary to guarantee the landing safety, which limits the number of UAVs that can be carried. We propose a landing system assisted by tether and robot manipulation. The system can land multiple UAVs without increasing the USV's size. An MPC controller stabilizes the end-effector and tracks the UAVs, and an adaptive estimator addresses the disturbance caused by the base motion. The working strategy of the system is designed to plan the motion of each device. We have validated the manipulator controller through simulations and well-controlled indoor experiments. During the field tests, the proposed system caught and placed the UAVs when the disturbed USV roll range was approximately 12 degrees.
