Generating consistent and high-quality images from given texts is essential for visual-language understanding. Although impressive results have been achieved in generating high-quality images, text-image consistency is still a major concern in existing GAN-based methods. Particularly, the most popular metric $R$-precision may not accurately reflect the text-image consistency, often resulting in very misleading semantics in the generated images. Albeit its significance, how to design a better text-image consistency metric surprisingly remains under-explored in the community. In this paper, we make a further step forward to develop a novel CLIP-based metric termed as Semantic Similarity Distance ($SSD$), which is both theoretically founded from a distributional viewpoint and empirically verified on benchmark datasets. Benefiting from the proposed metric, we further design the Parallel Deep Fusion Generative Adversarial Networks (PDF-GAN) that aims at improving text-image consistency by fusing semantic information at different granularities and capturing accurate semantics. Equipped with two novel plug-and-play components: Hard-Negative Sentence Constructor and Semantic Projection, the proposed PDF-GAN can mitigate inconsistent semantics and bridge the text-image semantic gap. A series of experiments show that, as opposed to current state-of-the-art methods, our PDF-GAN can lead to significantly better text-image consistency while maintaining decent image quality on the CUB and COCO datasets.

二进制代码相似性检测（BCSD）方法测量了两个二进制可执行代码的相似性。最近，基于学习的BCSD方法取得了巨大的成功，在检测准确性和效率方面表现优于传统的BCSD。但是，现有的研究在基于学习的BCSD方法的对抗脆弱性上相当稀疏，这会导致与安全相关的应用程序危害。为了评估对抗性的鲁棒性，本文设计了一种高效且黑色的对抗代码生成算法，即FuncFooler。 FuncFooler限制了对抗代码1）保持程序的控制流程图（CFG）和2）保持相同的语义含义。具体而言，funcfooler连续1）在恶意代码中确定脆弱的候选人，2）从良性代码中选择和插入对抗性指令，以及3）纠正对抗代码的语义副作用以满足约束。从经验上讲，我们的FuncFooler可以成功攻击包括Safe，ASM2VEC和JTRAN在内的三种基于学习的BCSD模型，它们质疑是否需要基于学习的BCSD。

结构从动作（SFM）旨在根据输入图像之间的对应关系恢复3D场景结构和相机姿势，因此，由重复结构（即具有强视觉相似的不同结构）引起的歧义始终导致摄像头的姿势和不正确的相机姿势3D结构。为了处理歧义，大多数现有研究通过分析两种观察几何或特征点来求助于其他约束信息或隐式推理。在本文中，我们建议利用场景中的高级信息，即本地区域的空间上下文信息，以指导重建。具体而言，提出了一种新颖的结构，即{\ textit {track-community}}，其中每个社区由一组轨道组成，代表场景中的本地段。社区检测算法用于将场景分为几个部分。然后，通过分析轨道的邻域并通过检查姿势一致性来检测潜在的模棱两可的段。最后，我们对每个段进行部分重建，并将它们与新颖的双向一致性成本函数对齐，该函数考虑了3D-3D对应关系和成对相对摄像头的姿势。实验结果表明，我们的方法可以牢固地减轻视觉上无法区分的结构而导致的重建失败，并准确合并部分重建。

代码切换是在对话期间交换语言时的语音现象。尽管对会话语言中的代码切换的自发性，但大多数现有工程通过读取语音而不是自发的语音来收集代码切换数据。Ascend（一个自发的中国英语数据集）介绍了香港收集的自发多转对话对话中英语代码切换语料库的高质量资源。我们报告了提升的设计和收集语音数据的程序，包括在这项工作中的注释。上升包括23个双语，这些双语流利，汉英都流利，而且由9.23小时的清洁语音组成。

社交网络对齐旨在将人身份对齐，跨社交网络。已经显示基于嵌入的模型对于通常采用模型训练通常采用结构接近保持目标的对准有效。在观察中，“过度关闭”用户嵌入对造成对齐不准确的这种模型是不可避免的，我们提出了一种新颖的学习框架，该框架试图通过引入仔细植入的伪伪植入用户在用户中更广泛地分开。锚。我们进一步提出了一种元学习算法，用于指导在学习过程中更新伪锚嵌入。通过使用伪锚和元学习的建议干预允许学习框架适用于广泛的网络对准方法。我们已将建议的学习框架纳入了几种最先进的模型。我们的实验结果表明了其植入伪锚的方法可以通过相当大的余量而没有伪锚的，特别是当仅存在非常少数标记的锚点时，其有效性可能会优于没有伪锚定的对应物。

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.

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.

Learning feature interactions is the key to success for the large-scale CTR prediction and recommendation. In practice, handcrafted feature engineering usually requires exhaustive searching. In order to reduce the high cost of human efforts in feature engineering, researchers propose several deep neural networks (DNN)-based approaches to learn the feature interactions in an end-to-end fashion. However, existing methods either do not learn both vector-wise interactions and bit-wise interactions simultaneously, or fail to combine them in a controllable manner. In this paper, we propose a new model, xDeepInt, based on a novel network architecture called polynomial interaction network (PIN) which learns higher-order vector-wise interactions recursively. By integrating subspace-crossing mechanism, we enable xDeepInt to balance the mixture of vector-wise and bit-wise feature interactions at a bounded order. Based on the network architecture, we customize a combined optimization strategy to conduct feature selection and interaction selection. We implement the proposed model and evaluate the model performance on three real-world datasets. Our experiment results demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of xDeepInt over state-of-the-art models. We open-source the TensorFlow implementation of xDeepInt: https://github.com/yanyachen/xDeepInt.

In this paper, we study the problem of knowledge-intensive text-to-SQL, in which domain knowledge is necessary to parse expert questions into SQL queries over domain-specific tables. We formalize this scenario by building a new Chinese benchmark KnowSQL consisting of domain-specific questions covering various domains. We then address this problem by presenting formulaic knowledge, rather than by annotating additional data examples. More concretely, we construct a formulaic knowledge bank as a domain knowledge base and propose a framework (ReGrouP) to leverage this formulaic knowledge during parsing. Experiments using ReGrouP demonstrate a significant 28.2% improvement overall on KnowSQL.

Witnessing the impressive achievements of pre-training techniques on large-scale data in the field of computer vision and natural language processing, we wonder whether this idea could be adapted in a grab-and-go spirit, and mitigate the sample inefficiency problem for visuomotor driving. Given the highly dynamic and variant nature of the input, the visuomotor driving task inherently lacks view and translation invariance, and the visual input contains massive irrelevant information for decision making, resulting in predominant pre-training approaches from general vision less suitable for the autonomous driving task. To this end, we propose PPGeo (Policy Pre-training via Geometric modeling), an intuitive and straightforward fully self-supervised framework curated for the policy pretraining in visuomotor driving. We aim at learning policy representations as a powerful abstraction by modeling 3D geometric scenes on large-scale unlabeled and uncalibrated YouTube driving videos. The proposed PPGeo is performed in two stages to support effective self-supervised training. In the first stage, the geometric modeling framework generates pose and depth predictions simultaneously, with two consecutive frames as input. In the second stage, the visual encoder learns driving policy representation by predicting the future ego-motion and optimizing with the photometric error based on current visual observation only. As such, the pre-trained visual encoder is equipped with rich driving policy related representations and thereby competent for multiple visuomotor driving tasks. Extensive experiments covering a wide span of challenging scenarios have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed approach, where improvements range from 2% to even over 100% with very limited data.
