Online media data, in the forms of images and videos, are becoming mainstream communication channels. However, recent advances in deep learning, particularly deep generative models, open the doors for producing perceptually convincing images and videos at a low cost, which not only poses a serious threat to the trustworthiness of digital information but also has severe societal implications. This motivates a growing interest of research in media tampering detection, i.e., using deep learning techniques to examine whether media data have been maliciously manipulated. Depending on the content of the targeted images, media forgery could be divided into image tampering and Deepfake techniques. The former typically moves or erases the visual elements in ordinary images, while the latter manipulates the expressions and even the identity of human faces. Accordingly, the means of defense include image tampering detection and Deepfake detection, which share a wide variety of properties. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the current media tampering detection approaches, and discuss the challenges and trends in this field for future research.

神经辐射场（NERF）在代表具有高分辨率细节和有效记忆的复杂3D场景方面取得了巨大成功。然而，当前基于NERF的姿势估计量没有初始姿势预测，并且在优化过程中易于局部优势。在本文中，我们介绍了纬度：全球定位，具有截短的动态低通滤波器，该过滤器引入了城市规模的NERF中的两阶段定位机制。在识别阶段，我们通过训练有素的NERFS生成的图像来训练回归器，该图像为全球本地化提供了初始值。在姿势优化阶段，我们通过直接优化切线平面上的姿势来最大程度地减少观察到的图像之间的残差和渲染图像。为了避免收敛到局部最优，我们引入了一个截短的动态低通滤波器（TDLF），以进行粗到细小的姿势注册。我们在合成和现实世界中评估了我们的方法，并显示了其在大规模城市场景中高精度导航的潜在应用。代码和数据将在https://github.com/jike5/latitude上公开获取。

尽管在深层视频降级中取得了重大进展，但利用历史和未来框架仍然非常具有挑战性。双向反复网络（BIRNN）在几个视频恢复任务中表现出吸引力的表现。但是，Birnn本质上是离线的，因为它使用向后的复发模块从最后一个帧传播到当前帧，这会导致高潜伏期和大型内存消耗。为了解决Birnn的离线问题，我们提出了一个新颖的经常性网络，该网络由向单向视频DeNoising的前向和观察的经常性模块组成。特别是，look-aver-aph模块是一个精心设计的前向模块，用于利用近距离框架的信息。当降级当前框架时，将隐藏的特征组合出来，并相互反复的模块组合，从而使其可行，可以利用历史和近乎未来的框架。由于不邻近框架之间的现场运动，当从近距离框架到当前框架的扭曲外观功能时，可能会失踪边界像素，这可以通过合并前向翘曲和拟议边框扩大来大大减轻。实验表明，我们的方法通过持续的延迟和记忆消耗实现最先进的性能。代码可在https://github.com/nagejacob/flornn上提供可用。

生成模型的面部匿名化已经变得越来越普遍，因为它们通过生成虚拟面部图像来消毒私人信息，从而确保隐私和图像实用程序。在删除或保护原始身份后，通常无法识别此类虚拟面部图像。在本文中，我们将生成可识别的虚拟面部图像的问题形式化和解决。我们的虚拟脸部图像在视觉上与原始图像不同，以保护隐私保护。此外，它们具有新的虚拟身份，可直接用于面部识别。我们建议可识别的虚拟面部发电机（IVFG）生成虚拟面部图像。 IVFG根据用户特定的键将原始面部图像的潜在矢量投射到虚拟图像中，该键基于该图像生成虚拟面部图像。为了使虚拟面部图像可识别，我们提出了一个多任务学习目标以及一个三联生的培训策略，以学习IVFG。我们使用不同面部图像数据集上的不同面部识别器评估虚拟面部图像的性能，所有这些都证明了IVFG在生成可识别的虚拟面部图像中的有效性。

细粒度的视觉分类（FGVC）旨在识别子类别的对象。由于级细的级别差异，这是一个非常具有挑战性的任务。现有的研究将大型卷积神经网络或视觉变压器应用为特征提取器，这是极其计算昂贵的。实际上，实际的细粒度识别的场景通常需要更轻薄的移动网络可以离线使用。然而，基本移动网络特征提取能力比大规模模型弱。本文基于轻质MobileNetv2，我们提出了一种具有递归马赛克发生器（RMG-PMSI）的逐步多级交互训练方法。首先，我们提出了一种递归马赛克发生器（RMG），其产生不同阶段的不同粒度的图像。然后，不同阶段的特征通过多级相互作用（MSI）模块，其增强和补充不同阶段的相应特征。最后，使用渐进式训练（P），可以充分利用不同阶段中的模型提取的特征并彼此融合。三个着名的细粒度基准测试的实验表明，RMG-PMSI可以显着提高性能，具有良好的稳健性和可转移性。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

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.

Automatic music generation with artificial intelligence typically requires a large amount of data which is hard to obtain for many less common genres and musical instruments. To tackle this issue, we present ongoing work and preliminary findings on the possibility for deep models to transfer knowledge from language to music, by finetuning large language models pre-trained on a massive text corpus on only hundreds of MIDI files of drum performances. We show that by doing so, one of the largest, state-of-the-art models (GPT3) is capable of generating reasonable drum grooves, while models that are not pre-trained (Transformer) shows no such ability beyond naive repetition. Evaluating generated music is a challenging task, more so is evaluating drum grooves with little precedence in literature. Hence, we propose a tailored structural evaluation method and analyze drum grooves produced by GPT3 compared to those played by human professionals, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of such generation by language-to-music transfer. Our findings suggest that language-to-music transfer learning with large language models is viable and promising.

Few Shot Instance Segmentation (FSIS) requires models to detect and segment novel classes with limited several support examples. In this work, we explore a simple yet unified solution for FSIS as well as its incremental variants, and introduce a new framework named Reference Twice (RefT) to fully explore the relationship between support/query features based on a Transformer-like framework. Our key insights are two folds: Firstly, with the aid of support masks, we can generate dynamic class centers more appropriately to re-weight query features. Secondly, we find that support object queries have already encoded key factors after base training. In this way, the query features can be enhanced twice from two aspects, i.e., feature-level and instance-level. In particular, we firstly design a mask-based dynamic weighting module to enhance support features and then propose to link object queries for better calibration via cross-attention. After the above steps, the novel classes can be improved significantly over our strong baseline. Additionally, our new framework can be easily extended to incremental FSIS with minor modification. When benchmarking results on the COCO dataset for FSIS, gFSIS, and iFSIS settings, our method achieves a competitive performance compared to existing approaches across different shots, e.g., we boost nAP by noticeable +8.2/+9.4 over the current state-of-the-art FSIS method for 10/30-shot. We further demonstrate the superiority of our approach on Few Shot Object Detection. Code and model will be available.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown satisfying performance on various graph learning tasks. To achieve better fitting capability, most GNNs are with a large number of parameters, which makes these GNNs computationally expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy them onto edge devices with scarce computational resources, e.g., mobile phones and wearable smart devices. Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a common solution to compress GNNs, where a light-weighted model (i.e., the student model) is encouraged to mimic the behavior of a computationally expensive GNN (i.e., the teacher GNN model). Nevertheless, most existing GNN-based KD methods lack fairness consideration. As a consequence, the student model usually inherits and even exaggerates the bias from the teacher GNN. To handle such a problem, we take initial steps towards fair knowledge distillation for GNNs. Specifically, we first formulate a novel problem of fair knowledge distillation for GNN-based teacher-student frameworks. Then we propose a principled framework named RELIANT to mitigate the bias exhibited by the student model. Notably, the design of RELIANT is decoupled from any specific teacher and student model structures, and thus can be easily adapted to various GNN-based KD frameworks. We perform extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets, which corroborates that RELIANT achieves less biased GNN knowledge distillation while maintaining high prediction utility.
