多年来，Yolo系列一直是有效对象检测的事实上的行业级别标准。尤洛社区（Yolo Community）绝大多数繁荣，以丰富其在众多硬件平台和丰富场景中的使用。在这份技术报告中，我们努力将其限制推向新的水平，以坚定不移的行业应用心态前进。考虑到对真实环境中速度和准确性的多种要求，我们广泛研究了行业或学术界的最新对象检测进步。具体而言，我们从最近的网络设计，培训策略，测试技术，量化和优化方法中大量吸收了思想。最重要的是，我们整合了思想和实践，以在各种规模上建立一套可供部署的网络，以适应多元化的用例。在Yolo作者的慷慨许可下，我们将其命名为Yolov6。我们还向用户和贡献者表示热烈欢迎，以进一步增强。为了了解性能，我们的Yolov6-N在NVIDIA TESLA T4 GPU上以1234 fps的吞吐量在可可数据集上击中35.9％的AP。 Yolov6-S在495 fps处的43.5％AP罢工，在相同规模〜（Yolov5-S，Yolox-S和Ppyoloe-S）上超过其他主流探测器。我们的量化版本的Yolov6-S甚至在869 fps中带来了新的43.3％AP。此外，与其他推理速度相似的检测器相比，Yolov6-m/L的精度性能（即49.5％/52.3％）更好。我们仔细进行了实验以验证每个组件的有效性。我们的代码可在https://github.com/meituan/yolov6上提供。

在基于学习的语义沟通中，神经网络在传统通信系统中取代了不同的构件。但是，数字调制仍然是神经网络的挑战。基于神经网络的数字调制的固有机制是将神经网络编码器的连续输出映射到离散的星座符号中，这是一个不可差的函数，无法使用现有的梯度下降算法进行训练。为了克服这一挑战，在本文中，我们为使用BPSK调制的数字语义通信制定了联合编码调节方案。在我们的方法中，神经网络输出了每个星座点的可能性，而不是具有混凝土映射。因此，使用了随机代码而不是确定性代码，该代码在每个星座上都有可能的符号保留更多信息。联合编码调制设计可以与频道状态相匹配，从而提高数字语义通信的性能。实验结果表明，我们的方法在广泛的SNR上优于语义通信中现有的数字调制方法，并且低SNR制度中的基于神经网络的模拟调制方法优于基于神经网络的模拟调制方法。

大型视觉基础模型在自然图像上的视觉任务上取得了重大进展，在这种情况下，视觉变压器是其良好可扩展性和表示能力的主要选择。但是，在现有模型仍处于小规模的情况下，遥感社区（RS）社区中大型模型的利用仍然不足，从而限制了性能。在本文中，我们使用约1亿个参数求助于普通视觉变压器，并首次尝试提出针对RS任务定制的大型视觉模型，并探索如此大型模型的性能。具体而言，要处理RS图像中各种取向的较大图像大小和对象，我们提出了一个新的旋转型尺寸的窗户注意力，以替代变形金刚中的原始关注，这可以大大降低计算成本和内存足迹，同时学习更好的对象通过从生成的不同窗口中提取丰富上下文来表示。关于检测任务的实验证明了我们模型的优越性，超过了所有最新模型，在DOTA-V1.0数据集上实现了81.16 \％地图。与现有的高级方法相比，我们在下游分类和细分任务上的模型结果也证明了竞争性能。进一步的实验显示了我们模型对计算复杂性和几乎没有学习的优势。代码和模型将在https://github.com/vitae-transformer/remote-sensing-rvsa上发布

动态膜电位阈值是生物神经元的重要特性之一，是一种自发调节机制，可维持神经元稳态，即神经元的恒定总尖峰发射速率。因此，神经元的发射速率受动态尖峰阈值的调节，该阈值已在生物学上进行了广泛研究。机器学习社区中的现有工作不采用可行的尖峰阈值方案。这项工作旨在通过引入新型的生物启发的动态能量暂时性阈值（BDETT）方案来弥合这一差距。拟议的BDETT方案反映了两个可行的观察结果：动态阈值具有1）与平均膜电位的正相关，并且2）与前面的去极化速率有负相关。我们验证了拟议的BDETT对机器人障碍物避免的有效性和在正常条件和各种退化条件下的连续控制任务，包括嘈杂的观察，权重和动态环境。我们发现，在所有测试条件下，BDETT优于现有的静态和启发式阈值方法，我们确认提出的生物启发的动态阈值方案为复杂的现实世界任务中的SNN提供了可行的可行稳态。

The growing interest in intelligent services and privacy protection for mobile devices has given rise to the widespread application of federated learning in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). Diverse user behaviors call for personalized services with heterogeneous Machine Learning (ML) models on different devices. Federated Multi-task Learning (FMTL) is proposed to train related but personalized ML models for different devices, whereas previous works suffer from excessive communication overhead during training and neglect the model heterogeneity among devices in MEC. Introducing knowledge distillation into FMTL can simultaneously enable efficient communication and model heterogeneity among clients, whereas existing methods rely on a public dataset, which is impractical in reality. To tackle this dilemma, Federated MultI-task Distillation for Multi-access Edge CompuTing (FedICT) is proposed. FedICT direct local-global knowledge aloof during bi-directional distillation processes between clients and the server, aiming to enable multi-task clients while alleviating client drift derived from divergent optimization directions of client-side local models. Specifically, FedICT includes Federated Prior Knowledge Distillation (FPKD) and Local Knowledge Adjustment (LKA). FPKD is proposed to reinforce the clients' fitting of local data by introducing prior knowledge of local data distributions. Moreover, LKA is proposed to correct the distillation loss of the server, making the transferred local knowledge better match the generalized representation. Experiments on three datasets show that FedICT significantly outperforms all compared benchmarks in various data heterogeneous and model architecture settings, achieving improved accuracy with less than 1.2% training communication overhead compared with FedAvg and no more than 75% training communication round compared with FedGKT.

Most existing text-video retrieval methods focus on cross-modal matching between the visual content of offline videos and textual query sentences. However, in real scenarios, online videos are frequently accompanied by relevant text information such as titles, tags, and even subtitles, which can be utilized to match textual queries. This inspires us to generate associated captions from offline videos to help with existing text-video retrieval methods. To do so, we propose to use the zero-shot video captioner with knowledge of pre-trained web-scale models (e.g., CLIP and GPT-2) to generate captions for offline videos without any training. Given the captions, one question naturally arises: what can auxiliary captions do for text-video retrieval? In this paper, we present a novel framework Cap4Video, which makes use of captions from three aspects: i) Input data: The video and captions can form new video-caption pairs as data augmentation for training. ii) Feature interaction: We perform feature interaction between video and caption to yield enhanced video representations. iii) Output score: The Query-Caption matching branch can be complementary to the original Query-Video matching branch for text-video retrieval. We conduct thorough ablation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Without any post-processing, our Cap4Video achieves state-of-the-art performance on MSR-VTT (51.4%), VATEX (66.6%), MSVD (51.8%), and DiDeMo (52.0%).

While the rollout of the fifth-generation mobile network (5G) is underway across the globe with the intention to deliver 4K/8K UHD videos, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) content to the mass amounts of users, the coverage and throughput are still one of the most significant issues, especially in the rural areas, where only 5G in the low-frequency band are being deployed. This called for a high-performance adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithm that can maximize the user quality of experience given 5G network characteristics and data rate of UHD contents. Recently, many of the newly proposed ABR techniques were machine-learning based. Among that, Pensieve is one of the state-of-the-art techniques, which utilized reinforcement-learning to generate an ABR algorithm based on observation of past decision performance. By incorporating the context of the 5G network and UHD content, Pensieve has been optimized into Pensieve 5G. New QoE metrics that more accurately represent the QoE of UHD video streaming on the different types of devices were proposed and used to evaluate Pensieve 5G against other ABR techniques including the original Pensieve. The results from the simulation based on the real 5G Standalone (SA) network throughput shows that Pensieve 5G outperforms both conventional algorithms and Pensieve with the average QoE improvement of 8.8% and 14.2%, respectively. Additionally, Pensieve 5G also performed well on the commercial 5G NR-NR Dual Connectivity (NR-DC) Network, despite the training being done solely using the data from the 5G Standalone (SA) network.

The typical way for relation extraction is fine-tuning large pre-trained language models on task-specific datasets, then selecting the label with the highest probability of the output distribution as the final prediction. However, the usage of the Top-k prediction set for a given sample is commonly overlooked. In this paper, we first reveal that the Top-k prediction set of a given sample contains useful information for predicting the correct label. To effectively utilizes the Top-k prediction set, we propose Label Graph Network with Top-k Prediction Set, termed as KLG. Specifically, for a given sample, we build a label graph to review candidate labels in the Top-k prediction set and learn the connections between them. We also design a dynamic $k$-selection mechanism to learn more powerful and discriminative relation representation. Our experiments show that KLG achieves the best performances on three relation extraction datasets. Moreover, we observe that KLG is more effective in dealing with long-tailed classes.

Sequence generation demonstrates promising performance in recent information extraction efforts, by incorporating large-scale pre-trained Seq2Seq models. This paper investigates the merits of employing sequence generation in relation extraction, finding that with relation names or synonyms as generation targets, their textual semantics and the correlation (in terms of word sequence pattern) among them affect model performance. We then propose Relation Extraction with Label Augmentation (RELA), a Seq2Seq model with automatic label augmentation for RE. By saying label augmentation, we mean prod semantically synonyms for each relation name as the generation target. Besides, we present an in-depth analysis of the Seq2Seq model's behavior when dealing with RE. Experimental results show that RELA achieves competitive results compared with previous methods on four RE datasets.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely applied to different tasks such as bioinformatics, drug design, and social networks. However, recent studies have shown that GNNs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks which aim to mislead the node or subgraph classification prediction by adding subtle perturbations. Detecting these attacks is challenging due to the small magnitude of perturbation and the discrete nature of graph data. In this paper, we propose a general adversarial edge detection pipeline EDoG without requiring knowledge of the attack strategies based on graph generation. Specifically, we propose a novel graph generation approach combined with link prediction to detect suspicious adversarial edges. To effectively train the graph generative model, we sample several sub-graphs from the given graph data. We show that since the number of adversarial edges is usually low in practice, with low probability the sampled sub-graphs will contain adversarial edges based on the union bound. In addition, considering the strong attacks which perturb a large number of edges, we propose a set of novel features to perform outlier detection as the preprocessing for our detection. Extensive experimental results on three real-world graph datasets including a private transaction rule dataset from a major company and two types of synthetic graphs with controlled properties show that EDoG can achieve above 0.8 AUC against four state-of-the-art unseen attack strategies without requiring any knowledge about the attack type; and around 0.85 with knowledge of the attack type. EDoG significantly outperforms traditional malicious edge detection baselines. We also show that an adaptive attack with full knowledge of our detection pipeline is difficult to bypass it.
