This paper creates a novel method of deep neural style transfer by generating style images from freeform user text input. The language model and style transfer model form a seamless pipeline that can create output images with similar losses and improved quality when compared to baseline style transfer methods. The language model returns a closely matching image given a style text and description input, which is then passed to the style transfer model with an input content image to create a final output. A proof-of-concept tool is also developed to integrate the models and demonstrate the effectiveness of deep image style transfer from freeform text.

变压器验证引起了机器学习研究和行业的越来越多的关注。它正式验证了变压器对对抗性攻击的鲁棒性，例如用同义词交换单词。但是，由于以中线为中心的计算，变压器验证的性能仍然不令人满意，这与标准神经网络有显着差异。在本文中，我们提出了信仰，这是用于GPU的变压器验证的有效框架。我们首先提出一个语义意识的计算图转换，以识别语义信息，例如变压器验证中的结合计算。我们利用此类语义信息，以在计算图级别启用有效的内核融合。其次，我们提出了一个验证专门的内核手工艺品，以有效地将变压器验证映射到现代GPU。该手工艺者利用了一组GPU硬件支持，以加速通常是内存密集型的验证专业操作。第三，我们提出了一个专家指导的自动调整，以纳入有关GPU后端的专家知识，以促进大型搜索空间探索。广泛的评估表明，Faith在最先进的框架上实现了$ 2.1 \ times $至$ 3.4 \ times $（$ 2.6 \ times $）的加速。

基于视频的远程生理测量利用面部视频来测量血量变化信号，这也称为远程光摄影学（RPPG）。 RPPG测量的监督方法达到了最新的性能。但是，有监督的RPPG方法需要面部视频和地面真理生理信号进行模型培训。在本文中，我们提出了一种无监督的RPPG测量方法，该方法不需要地面真相信号进行培训。我们使用3DCNN模型在不同的时空位置中从每个视频中生成多个RPPG信号，并以对比度损失训练模型，其中将来自同一视频的RPPG信号汇总在一起，而来自不同视频的那些视频则被推开。我们在五个公共数据集上测试，包括RGB视频和NIR视频。结果表明，我们的方法优于先前的无监督基线，并在所有五个数据集上实现了非常接近当前最佳监督RPPG方法的精度。此外，我们还证明了我们的方法可以以更快的速度运行，并且比以前的无监督基线更强大。我们的代码可在https://github.com/zhaodongsun/contrast-phys上找到。

自我介绍在训练过程中利用自身的非均匀软监管，并在没有任何运行时成本的情况下提高性能。但是，在训练过程中的开销经常被忽略，但是在巨型模型的时代，培训期间的时间和记忆开销越来越重要。本文提出了一种名为ZIPF标签平滑（ZIPF的LS）的有效自我验证方法，该方法使用网络的直立预测来生成软监管，该软监管在不使用任何对比样本或辅助参数的情况下符合ZIPF分布。我们的想法来自经验观察，即当对网络进行适当训练时，在按样品的大小和平均分类后，应遵循分布的分布，让人联想到ZIPF的自然语言频率统计信息，这是在按样品中的大小和平均值进行排序之后进行的。 。通过在样本级别和整个培训期内强制执行此属性，我们发现预测准确性可以大大提高。使用INAT21细粒分类数据集上的RESNET50，与香草基线相比，我们的技术获得了 +3.61％的准确性增长，而与先前的标签平滑或自我验证策略相比，增益增加了0.88％。该实现可在https://github.com/megvii-research/zipfls上公开获得。

目的：我们提出了一种从面部视频中检测到房颤（AF）检测的非接触式方法。方法：记录了100名健康受试者和100名AF患者的面部视频，心电图（ECG）和接触光摄影（PPG）。来自健康受试者的数据记录都被标记为健康。两名心脏病专家评估了患者的心电图记录，并将每种记录标记为AF，窦性心律（SR）或心房颤动（AFL）。我们使用3D卷积神经网络进行远程PPG监测，并提出了新的损耗函数（Wasserstein距离），以使用接触PPG的收缩峰的时间作为我们的模型训练的标签。然后，根据beat间隔计算一组心率变异性（HRV）功能，并使用HRV功能训练支持向量机（SVM）分类器。结果：我们提出的方法可以准确地从面部视频中提取收缩峰以进行AF检测。提出的方法通过与30s视频剪辑的10倍交叉验证进行了训练，并在两个任务上进行了测试。 1）健康与AF的分类：准确性，灵敏度和特异性为96.00％，95.36％和96.12％。 2）SR与AF的分类：准确性，灵敏度和特异性为95.23％，98.53％和91.12％。此外，我们还证明了非接触式AFL检测的可行性。结论：我们通过学习收缩峰来实现非接触AF检测的良好性能。显着性：非接触性AF检测可用于自我筛查，可疑在家中可疑人群或治疗慢性患者治疗后自我监控。

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.

The development of social media user stance detection and bot detection methods rely heavily on large-scale and high-quality benchmarks. However, in addition to low annotation quality, existing benchmarks generally have incomplete user relationships, suppressing graph-based account detection research. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Relational Graph-Based Twitter Account Detection Benchmark (MGTAB), the first standardized graph-based benchmark for account detection. To our knowledge, MGTAB was built based on the largest original data in the field, with over 1.55 million users and 130 million tweets. MGTAB contains 10,199 expert-annotated users and 7 types of relationships, ensuring high-quality annotation and diversified relations. In MGTAB, we extracted the 20 user property features with the greatest information gain and user tweet features as the user features. In addition, we performed a thorough evaluation of MGTAB and other public datasets. Our experiments found that graph-based approaches are generally more effective than feature-based approaches and perform better when introducing multiple relations. By analyzing experiment results, we identify effective approaches for account detection and provide potential future research directions in this field. Our benchmark and standardized evaluation procedures are freely available at: https://github.com/GraphDetec/MGTAB.

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.

A recent study has shown a phenomenon called neural collapse in that the within-class means of features and the classifier weight vectors converge to the vertices of a simplex equiangular tight frame at the terminal phase of training for classification. In this paper, we explore the corresponding structures of the last-layer feature centers and classifiers in semantic segmentation. Based on our empirical and theoretical analysis, we point out that semantic segmentation naturally brings contextual correlation and imbalanced distribution among classes, which breaks the equiangular and maximally separated structure of neural collapse for both feature centers and classifiers. However, such a symmetric structure is beneficial to discrimination for the minor classes. To preserve these advantages, we introduce a regularizer on feature centers to encourage the network to learn features closer to the appealing structure in imbalanced semantic segmentation. Experimental results show that our method can bring significant improvements on both 2D and 3D semantic segmentation benchmarks. Moreover, our method ranks 1st and sets a new record (+6.8% mIoU) on the ScanNet200 test leaderboard. Code will be available at https://github.com/dvlab-research/Imbalanced-Learning.
