传统的LIDAR射测（LO）系统主要利用从经过的环境获得的几何信息来注册激光扫描并估算Lidar Ego-Motion，而在动态或非结构化环境中可能不可靠。本文提出了Inten-loam，一种低饮用和健壮的激光镜和映射方法，该方法完全利用激光扫描的隐式信息（即几何，强度和时间特征）。扫描点被投影到圆柱形图像上，这些图像有助于促进各种特征的有效和适应性提取，即地面，梁，立面和反射器。我们提出了一种新型基于强度的点登记算法，并将其纳入LIDAR的探光仪，从而使LO系统能够使用几何和强度特征点共同估计LIDAR EGO-MOTION。为了消除动态对象的干扰，我们提出了一种基于时间的动态对象删除方法，以在MAP更新之前过滤它们。此外，使用与时间相关的体素网格滤波器组织并缩减了本地地图，以维持当前扫描和静态局部图之间的相似性。在模拟和实际数据集上进行了广泛的实验。结果表明，所提出的方法在正常驾驶方案中实现了类似或更高的精度W.R.T，在非结构化环境中，最先进的方法优于基于几何的LO。

随着计算能力已成为数字经济时代的核心生产力，计算和网络收敛的概念（CNC），根据用户的需求，可以动态地安排和分配网络和计算资源，并引起广泛关注。基于任务的属性，网络编排平面需要灵活地部署任务以适当计算节点并将路径安排到计算节点。这是一个涉及资源调度和路径布置的编排问题。由于CNC是相对较新的，因此在本文中，我们回顾了有关CNC的一些研究和应用。然后，我们使用强化学习（RL）设计了CNC编排方法，这是第一次尝试，可以灵活地分配和安排计算资源和网络资源。旨在高利润和低潜伏期。同时，我们使用多因素来确定优化目标，以便根据来自不同方面的总绩效（例如成本，利润，延迟和系统过载）在我们的实验中优化了编排策略。实验表明，与贪婪的方法，随机选择和平衡资源方法相比，提出的基于RL的方法可以实现更高的利润和更低的潜伏度。我们证明RL适合CNC编排。本文启动了RL关于CNC编排的应用程序。

医学图像分类已在医学图像分析中广泛采用。但是，由于难以在医疗领域收集和标记数据，医疗图像数据集通常受到高度影响。为了解决这个问题，先前的工作利用类样本作为重新加权或重新采样的先验，但特征表示通常仍然不够歧视。在本文中，我们采用对比度学习来解决长尾医疗失衡问题。具体而言，我们首先提出类别原型和对抗性原型，以产生代表性的对比对。然后，提出了原型重新校准策略来解决高度不平衡的数据分布。最后，统一的原始损失旨在训练我们的框架。总体框架，即作为原型的对比学习（PROCO），以端到端方式统一为单级管道，以减轻医学图像分类中的不平衡问题，这也是与现有作品的独特进步当他们遵循传统的两阶段管道时。对两个高度平衡的医学图像分类数据集进行了广泛的实验表明，我们的方法的表现优于现有的最新方法。

传统的生物和制药工厂由人类工人或预定义阈值控制。现代化的工厂具有高级过程控制算法，例如模型预测控制（MPC）。但是，几乎没有探索将深入的增强学习来控制制造厂。原因之一是缺乏高保真模拟和基准测试的标准API。为了弥合这一差距，我们开发了一个易于使用的库，其中包括五个高保真模拟环境：BeerfMtenV，Reactorenv，Atropineenv，Pensimenv和Mabenv，涵盖了广泛的制造过程。我们在已发布的动态模型上构建这些环境。此外，我们在线和离线基准基准，基于模型和无模型的强化学习算法，用于比较后续研究。

Benefiting from the intrinsic supervision information exploitation capability, contrastive learning has achieved promising performance in the field of deep graph clustering recently. However, we observe that two drawbacks of the positive and negative sample construction mechanisms limit the performance of existing algorithms from further improvement. 1) The quality of positive samples heavily depends on the carefully designed data augmentations, while inappropriate data augmentations would easily lead to the semantic drift and indiscriminative positive samples. 2) The constructed negative samples are not reliable for ignoring important clustering information. To solve these problems, we propose a Cluster-guided Contrastive deep Graph Clustering network (CCGC) by mining the intrinsic supervision information in the high-confidence clustering results. Specifically, instead of conducting complex node or edge perturbation, we construct two views of the graph by designing special Siamese encoders whose weights are not shared between the sibling sub-networks. Then, guided by the high-confidence clustering information, we carefully select and construct the positive samples from the same high-confidence cluster in two views. Moreover, to construct semantic meaningful negative sample pairs, we regard the centers of different high-confidence clusters as negative samples, thus improving the discriminative capability and reliability of the constructed sample pairs. Lastly, we design an objective function to pull close the samples from the same cluster while pushing away those from other clusters by maximizing and minimizing the cross-view cosine similarity between positive and negative samples. Extensive experimental results on six datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of CCGC compared with the existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

To generate high quality rendering images for real time applications, it is often to trace only a few samples-per-pixel (spp) at a lower resolution and then supersample to the high resolution. Based on the observation that the rendered pixels at a low resolution are typically highly aliased, we present a novel method for neural supersampling based on ray tracing 1/4-spp samples at the high resolution. Our key insight is that the ray-traced samples at the target resolution are accurate and reliable, which makes the supersampling an interpolation problem. We present a mask-reinforced neural network to reconstruct and interpolate high-quality image sequences. First, a novel temporal accumulation network is introduced to compute the correlation between current and previous features to significantly improve their temporal stability. Then a reconstruct network based on a multi-scale U-Net with skip connections is adopted for reconstruction and generation of the desired high-resolution image. Experimental results and comparisons have shown that our proposed method can generate higher quality results of supersampling, without increasing the total number of ray-tracing samples, over current state-of-the-art methods.

Temporal sentence grounding (TSG) aims to identify the temporal boundary of a specific segment from an untrimmed video by a sentence query. All existing works first utilize a sparse sampling strategy to extract a fixed number of video frames and then conduct multi-modal interactions with query sentence for reasoning. However, we argue that these methods have overlooked two indispensable issues: 1) Boundary-bias: The annotated target segment generally refers to two specific frames as corresponding start and end timestamps. The video downsampling process may lose these two frames and take the adjacent irrelevant frames as new boundaries. 2) Reasoning-bias: Such incorrect new boundary frames also lead to the reasoning bias during frame-query interaction, reducing the generalization ability of model. To alleviate above limitations, in this paper, we propose a novel Siamese Sampling and Reasoning Network (SSRN) for TSG, which introduces a siamese sampling mechanism to generate additional contextual frames to enrich and refine the new boundaries. Specifically, a reasoning strategy is developed to learn the inter-relationship among these frames and generate soft labels on boundaries for more accurate frame-query reasoning. Such mechanism is also able to supplement the absent consecutive visual semantics to the sampled sparse frames for fine-grained activity understanding. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of SSRN on three challenging datasets.

Representing and synthesizing novel views in real-world dynamic scenes from casual monocular videos is a long-standing problem. Existing solutions typically approach dynamic scenes by applying geometry techniques or utilizing temporal information between several adjacent frames without considering the underlying background distribution in the entire scene or the transmittance over the ray dimension, limiting their performance on static and occlusion areas. Our approach $\textbf{D}$istribution-$\textbf{D}$riven neural radiance fields offers high-quality view synthesis and a 3D solution to $\textbf{D}$etach the background from the entire $\textbf{D}$ynamic scene, which is called $\text{D}^4$NeRF. Specifically, it employs a neural representation to capture the scene distribution in the static background and a 6D-input NeRF to represent dynamic objects, respectively. Each ray sample is given an additional occlusion weight to indicate the transmittance lying in the static and dynamic components. We evaluate $\text{D}^4$NeRF on public dynamic scenes and our urban driving scenes acquired from an autonomous-driving dataset. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms previous methods in rendering texture details and motion areas while also producing a clean static background. Our code will be released at https://github.com/Luciferbobo/D4NeRF.

Deploying reliable deep learning techniques in interdisciplinary applications needs learned models to output accurate and ({even more importantly}) explainable predictions. Existing approaches typically explicate network outputs in a post-hoc fashion, under an implicit assumption that faithful explanations come from accurate predictions/classifications. We have an opposite claim that explanations boost (or even determine) classification. That is, end-to-end learning of explanation factors to augment discriminative representation extraction could be a more intuitive strategy to inversely assure fine-grained explainability, e.g., in those neuroimaging and neuroscience studies with high-dimensional data containing noisy, redundant, and task-irrelevant information. In this paper, we propose such an explainable geometric deep network dubbed as NeuroExplainer, with applications to uncover altered infant cortical development patterns associated with preterm birth. Given fundamental cortical attributes as network input, our NeuroExplainer adopts a hierarchical attention-decoding framework to learn fine-grained attentions and respective discriminative representations to accurately recognize preterm infants from term-born infants at term-equivalent age. NeuroExplainer learns the hierarchical attention-decoding modules under subject-level weak supervision coupled with targeted regularizers deduced from domain knowledge regarding brain development. These prior-guided constraints implicitly maximizes the explainability metrics (i.e., fidelity, sparsity, and stability) in network training, driving the learned network to output detailed explanations and accurate classifications. Experimental results on the public dHCP benchmark suggest that NeuroExplainer led to quantitatively reliable explanation results that are qualitatively consistent with representative neuroimaging studies.

Domain adaptation methods reduce domain shift typically by learning domain-invariant features. Most existing methods are built on distribution matching, e.g., adversarial domain adaptation, which tends to corrupt feature discriminability. In this paper, we propose Discriminative Radial Domain Adaptation (DRDR) which bridges source and target domains via a shared radial structure. It's motivated by the observation that as the model is trained to be progressively discriminative, features of different categories expand outwards in different directions, forming a radial structure. We show that transferring such an inherently discriminative structure would enable to enhance feature transferability and discriminability simultaneously. Specifically, we represent each domain with a global anchor and each category a local anchor to form a radial structure and reduce domain shift via structure matching. It consists of two parts, namely isometric transformation to align the structure globally and local refinement to match each category. To enhance the discriminability of the structure, we further encourage samples to cluster close to the corresponding local anchors based on optimal-transport assignment. Extensively experimenting on multiple benchmarks, our method is shown to consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on varied tasks, including the typical unsupervised domain adaptation, multi-source domain adaptation, domain-agnostic learning, and domain generalization.
