Short-term memory is essential for cognitive processing, yet our understanding of its neural mechanisms remains unclear. Neuroscience has long focused on how sequential activity patterns, where neurons fire one after another within large networks, can explain how information is maintained. While rec…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used in many applications such as smart city, transportation, healthcare, and environment monitoring. A key task of IoT maintenance is to analyze the abnormal sensor records and generate incident report. Traditionally, domain experts engage in such labor intens…
Pointly supervised instance segmentation (PSIS) learns to segment objects using a single point within the object extent as supervision. Challenged by the non-negligible semantic variance between object parts, however, the single supervision point causes semantic bias and false segmentation. In this…
The recently proposed DEtection TRansformer (DETR) achieves promising performance for end-to-end object detection. However, it has relatively lower detection performance on small objects and suffers from slow convergence. This paper observed that DETR performs surprisingly well even on small objects…
"Conventional methods for weakly supervised object detection (WSOD) typically enumerate dense proposals and select the discriminative proposals as objects. However, these two-stage “enumerate-and-select” methods suffer object feature ambiguity brought by dense proposals and low detection efficiency…
"Panoramic images have become increasingly popular as omnidirectional panoramic technology has advanced. Many datasets and works resort to object detection to better understand the content of the panoramic image. These datasets and detectors use a Bounding Field of View (BFoV) as a bounding box in p…
Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have shown effectiveness in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Denoising autoencoder is one of the most successful pre-training frameworks, learning to recompose the original text given a noise-corrupted one. The existing studies mainly focus on injec…
Semi-Supervised object detection (SSOD) aims to improve the generalization ability of object detectors with large-scale unlabeled images. Current pseudo-labeling-based SSOD methods individually learn from labeled data and unlabeled data, without considering the relation between them. To make full us…
Vanilla unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) object detection typically requires the labeled source data for joint-training with the unlabeled target data, which is usually unavailable in real-world scenarios due to data privacy, leading to source data-free UDA object detection. Herein, we first analy…
As one of the fundamental components of object detection, intersection-over-union (IoU) calculations between two bounding boxes play an important role in samples selection, NMS operation and evaluation of object detection algorithms. This procedure is well-defined and solved for planar images, while…
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) assumes that source and target domain data are freely available and usually trained together to reduce the domain gap. However, considering the data privacy and the inefficiency of data transmission, it is impractical in real scenarios. Hence, it draws our eyes t…
Existing pre-trained language models (PLMs) have demonstrated the effectiveness of self-supervised learning for a broad range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, most of them are not explicitly aware of domain-specific knowledge, which is essential for downstream tasks in many domai…
The copying mechanism has had considerable success in abstractive summarization, facilitating models to directly copy words from the input text to the output summary. Existing works mostly employ encoder-decoder attention, which applies copying at each time step independently of the former ones. How…
In this work, we present a model to generate e-commerce product summaries. The consistency between the generated summary and the product attributes is an essential criterion for the ecommerce product summarization task. To enhance the consistency, first, we encode the product attribute table to guid…
