可重新配置的智能表面（RIS）可以显着增强TERA-HERTZ大量多输入多输出（MIMO）通信系统的服务覆盖范围。但是，获得有限的飞行员和反馈信号开销的准确高维通道状态信息（CSI）具有挑战性，从而严重降低了常规空间分裂多次访问的性能。为了提高针对CSI缺陷的鲁棒性，本文提出了针对RIS辅助TERA-HERTZ多用户MIMO系统的基于深度学习的（DL）基于速率的多访问（RSMA）方案。具体而言，我们首先提出了基于DL的混合数据模型驱动的RSMA预编码方案，包括RIS的被动预编码以及模拟主动编码和基本站（BS）的RSMA数字活动预码。为了实现RIS的被动预码，我们提出了一个基于变压器的数据驱动的RIS反射网络（RRN）。至于BS的模拟主动编码，我们提出了一个基于匹配器的模拟预编码方案，因为BS和RIS采用了Los-Mimo天线阵列结构。至于BS的RSMA数字活动预码，我们提出了一个低复杂性近似加权的最小均方误差（AWMMSE）数字编码方案。此外，为了更好地编码性能以及较低的计算复杂性，模型驱动的深层展开的主动编码网络（DFAPN）也是通过将所提出的AWMMSE方案与DL相结合的。然后，为了在BS处获得准确的CSI，以实现提高光谱效率的RSMA预编码方案，我们提出了一个CSI采集网络（CAN），具有低飞行员和反馈信号开销，下行链接飞行员的传输，CSI在此处使用CSI的CSI反馈。 （UES）和BS处的CSI重建被建模为基于变压器的端到端神经网络。

近年来，自我监督学习（SSL）已广泛探索。特别是，生成的SSL在自然语言处理和其他AI领域（例如BERT和GPT的广泛采用）中获得了新的成功。尽管如此，对比度学习 - 严重依赖结构数据的增强和复杂的培训策略，这是图SSL的主要方法，而迄今为止，生成SSL在图形上的进度（尤其是GAES）尚未达到潜在的潜力。正如其他领域所承诺的。在本文中，我们确定并检查对GAE的发展产生负面影响的问题，包括其重建目标，训练鲁棒性和错误指标。我们提出了一个蒙版的图形自动编码器Graphmae，该图可以减轻这些问题，以预处理生成性自我监督图。我们建议没有重建图形结构，而是提议通过掩盖策略和缩放余弦误差将重点放在特征重建上，从而使GraphMae的强大训练受益。我们在21个公共数据集上进行了大量实验，以实现三个不同的图形学习任务。结果表明，Graphmae-A简单的图形自动编码器具有仔细的设计-CAN始终在对比度和生成性最新基准相比，始终产生优于性的表现。这项研究提供了对图自动编码器的理解，并证明了在图上的生成自我监督预训练的潜力。

Weakly-supervised object localization aims to indicate the category as well as the scope of an object in an image given only the image-level labels. Most of the existing works are based on Class Activation Mapping (CAM) and endeavor to enlarge the discriminative area inside the activation map to perceive the whole object, yet ignore the co-occurrence confounder of the object and context (e.g., fish and water), which makes the model inspection hard to distinguish object boundaries. Besides, the use of CAM also brings a dilemma problem that the classification and localization always suffer from a performance gap and can not reach their highest accuracy simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a casual knowledge distillation method, dubbed KD-CI-CAM, to address these two under-explored issues in one go. More specifically, we tackle the co-occurrence context confounder problem via causal intervention (CI), which explores the causalities among image features, contexts, and categories to eliminate the biased object-context entanglement in the class activation maps. Based on the de-biased object feature, we additionally propose a multi-teacher causal distillation framework to balance the absorption of classification knowledge and localization knowledge during model training. Extensive experiments on several benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of KD-CI-CAM in learning clear object boundaries from confounding contexts and addressing the dilemma problem between classification and localization performance.

An increasing number of public datasets have shown a marked clinical impact on assessing anatomical structures. However, each of the datasets is small, partially labeled, and rarely investigates severe tumor subjects. Moreover, current models are limited to segmenting specific organs/tumors, which can not be extended to novel domains and classes. To tackle these limitations, we introduce embedding learned from Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) to segmentation models, dubbed the CLIP-Driven Universal Model. The Universal Model can better segment 25 organs and 6 types of tumors by exploiting the semantic relationship between abdominal structures. The model is developed from an assembly of 14 datasets with 3,410 CT scans and evaluated on 6,162 external CT scans from 3 datasets. We rank first on the public leaderboard of the Medical Segmentation Decathlon (MSD) and achieve the state-of-the-art results on Beyond The Cranial Vault (BTCV). Compared with dataset-specific models, the Universal Model is computationally more efficient (6x faster), generalizes better to CT scans from varying sites, and shows stronger transfer learning performance on novel tasks. The design of CLIP embedding enables the Universal Model to be easily extended to new classes without catastrophically forgetting the previously learned classes.

In this work, we tackle two vital tasks in automated driving systems, i.e., driver intent prediction and risk object identification from egocentric images. Mainly, we investigate the question: what would be good road scene-level representations for these two tasks? We contend that a scene-level representation must capture higher-level semantic and geometric representations of traffic scenes around ego-vehicle while performing actions to their destinations. To this end, we introduce the representation of semantic regions, which are areas where ego-vehicles visit while taking an afforded action (e.g., left-turn at 4-way intersections). We propose to learn scene-level representations via a novel semantic region prediction task and an automatic semantic region labeling algorithm. Extensive evaluations are conducted on the HDD and nuScenes datasets, and the learned representations lead to state-of-the-art performance for driver intention prediction and risk object identification.

New architecture GPUs like A100 are now equipped with multi-instance GPU (MIG) technology, which allows the GPU to be partitioned into multiple small, isolated instances. This technology provides more flexibility for users to support both deep learning training and inference workloads, but efficiently utilizing it can still be challenging. The vision of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive and practical benchmark study for MIG in order to eliminate the need for tedious manual benchmarking and tuning efforts. To achieve this vision, the paper presents MIGPerf, an open-source tool that streamlines the benchmark study for MIG. Using MIGPerf, the authors conduct a series of experiments, including deep learning training and inference characterization on MIG, GPU sharing characterization, and framework compatibility with MIG. The results of these experiments provide new insights and guidance for users to effectively employ MIG, and lay the foundation for further research on the orchestration of hybrid training and inference workloads on MIGs. The code and results are released on https://github.com/MLSysOps/MIGProfiler. This work is still in progress and more results will be published soon.

There are multiple scales of abstraction from which we can describe the same image, depending on whether we are focusing on fine-grained details or a more global attribute of the image. In brain mapping, learning to automatically parse images to build representations of both small-scale features (e.g., the presence of cells or blood vessels) and global properties of an image (e.g., which brain region the image comes from) is a crucial and open challenge. However, most existing datasets and benchmarks for neuroanatomy consider only a single downstream task at a time. To bridge this gap, we introduce a new dataset, annotations, and multiple downstream tasks that provide diverse ways to readout information about brain structure and architecture from the same image. Our multi-task neuroimaging benchmark (MTNeuro) is built on volumetric, micrometer-resolution X-ray microtomography images spanning a large thalamocortical section of mouse brain, encompassing multiple cortical and subcortical regions. We generated a number of different prediction challenges and evaluated several supervised and self-supervised models for brain-region prediction and pixel-level semantic segmentation of microstructures. Our experiments not only highlight the rich heterogeneity of this dataset, but also provide insights into how self-supervised approaches can be used to learn representations that capture multiple attributes of a single image and perform well on a variety of downstream tasks.

Designing better deep networks and better reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are both important for deep RL. This work focuses on the former. Previous methods build the network with several modules like CNN, LSTM and Attention. Recent methods combine the Transformer with these modules for better performance. However, it requires tedious optimization skills to train a network composed of mixed modules, making these methods inconvenient to be used in practice. In this paper, we propose to design \emph{pure Transformer-based networks} for deep RL, aiming at providing off-the-shelf backbones for both the online and offline settings. Specifically, the Transformer in Transformer (TIT) backbone is proposed, which cascades two Transformers in a very natural way: the inner one is used to process a single observation, while the outer one is responsible for processing the observation history; combining both is expected to extract spatial-temporal representations for good decision-making. Experiments show that TIT can achieve satisfactory performance in different settings, consistently.

This paper investigates the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to solve differential equations (DEs) and the construction of the loss function which meets both differential equation and its initial/boundary condition of a certain DE. In section 2, the loss function is generalized to $n^\text{th}$ order ordinary differential equation(ODE). Other methods of construction are examined in Section 3 and applied to three different models to assess their effectiveness.
