Multi-Label Recognition (MLR) based on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) aims to leverage their pre-trained knowledge to better adapt complex recognition scenarios, thereby enhancing model robustness. However, for realistic decentralized applications requiring federated learning, adapting VLMs to each c
Knowledge distillation (KD) has been widely applied in semantic segmentation to compress large models, but conventional approaches primarily preserve in-domain accuracy while neglecting out-of-domain generalization, which is essential under distribution shifts. This limitation becomes more severe wi
Humans often juggle multiple, sometimes conflicting objectives and shift their priorities as circumstances change, rather than following a fixed objective function. In contrast, most computational decision-making and multi-objective RL methods assume static preference weights or a known scalar rewa…
LiDAR Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has been pivotal in various domains, including digital twins, geographic surveying, and autonomous mobile robotics. However, achieving an optimal balance between high precision and computational efficiency remains a significant challenge. In this pa
Data-driven deep learning models have enabled tremendous progress in change detection (CD) with the support of pixel-level annotations. However, collecting diverse data and manually annotating them is costly, laborious, and knowledge-intensive. Existing generative methods for CD data synthesis show…
To advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a crucial role in catalyzing economic expansion and fostering innovation. Precise city-level FDI prediction is quite important for loca
Domain generalization in 3D segmentation is a critical challenge in deploying models to unseen environments. Current methods mitigate the domain shift by augmenting the data distribution of point clouds. However, the model learns global geometric patterns in point clouds while ignoring the category-…
Change detection (CD) holds significant implications for Earth observation, in which pseudo-changes between bitemporal images induced by imaging environmental factors are key challenges. Existing methods mainly regard pseudo-changes as a kind of style shift and alleviate it by transforming bitempora…
Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) excel in generalization due to large-scale pretraining, but fine-tuning them for Domain Generalized Semantic Segmentation (DGSS) while maintaining this ability remains a challenge. Existing approaches either selectively fine-tune parameters or freeze the VFMs and upda…
Speech signals contain rich information, such as textual content, emotion, and speaker identity. To extract these features more efficiently, researchers are investigating joint training across multiple tasks, like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) and Speaker Verification (SV), aiming to improve perf…
Deep learning methods have demonstrated remarkable performance across various communication signal processing tasks. However, most signal classification methods require a substantial amount of labeled samples for training, posing significant challenges in the field of communication signals, as label
Pseudo-labeling is a key technique of semi-supervised and cross-domian semantic segmentation, yet its efficacy is often hampered by the intrinsic noise of pseudo-labels. This study introduces Pseudo-SD, a novel framework that redefines the utilization of pseudo-label knowledge through Stable Diffusi…
Time series forecasting plays a crucial role in domains such as finance, healthcare, and climate science. However, as modern time series data become increasingly complex, featuring high dimensionality, intricate spatiotemporal dependencies, and multi-scale evolutionary patterns, traditional analytic…
Presently, pseudo-labeling stands as a prevailing approach in cross-domain semantic segmentation, enhancing model efficacy by training with pixels assigned with reliable pseudo-labels. However, we identify two key limitations within this paradigm: (1) under relatively severe domain shifts, most sel…
Estimating causal effects among different events is of great importance to critical fields such as drug development. Nevertheless, the data features associated with events may be distributed across various silos and remain private within respective parties, impeding direct information exchange betwe…
We study source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (SFUDA) for semantic segmentation which aims to adapt a source-trained model to the target domain without accessing the source data. Many works have been proposed to address this challenging problem among which uncertainty based self-training is a…
"An accurate and efficient epileptic seizure onset detection can significantly benefit patients. Traditional diagnostic methods, primarily relying on electroencephalograms (EEGs), often result in cumbersome and non-portable solutions, making continuous patient monitoring challenging. The video-based…
Domain adaptive semantic segmentation aims to adapt a model trained on labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Self-training shows competitive potential in this field. Existing methods along this stream mainly focus on selecting reliable predictions on target data as pseudo-labels for…
Point clouds have been regarded as a representative format for 3D visualization of real-world objects or scenes. However, point clouds acquired from depth cameras or laser scanning devices commonly contain outliers. Outlier removal performance will directly affect the downstream applications. Existi
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) in semantic segmentation transfers the knowledge of the source domain to the target one to improve the adaptability of the segmentation model in the target domain. The need to access labeled source data makes UDA unable to handle adaptation scenarios involving pr…
Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) clutch is a kind of passive actuator with advantages, like fast response and low inertia. However, due to the complex natural property, it is difficult to model such devices accurately, and this leads to degraded performance. In this letter, a steady-state model and tr
The conventional visual attention-based image captioning approaches typically use image information to guide caption generation. Results from these models tend to be coarse and ignore the details in the image, such as objects, attributes and the distinguishing aspects of each image. In this paper, w…
Image patch matching across different spectral domains is more challenging than in a single spectral domain. We consider the reason is twofold: 1. the weaker discriminative feature learned by conventional methods; 2. the significant appearance difference between two images domains. To tackle these p…
Recent studies on image patch matching are paying more attention on hard sample learning, because easy samples do not contribute much to the network optimization. They have proposed various hard negative sample mining strategies, but very few addressed this problem from the perspective of loss funct…

In this work, we propose a novel tracking algorithm with real-time performance based on the ‘Actor-Critic’ framework. This framework consists of two major components: ‘Actor’ and ‘Critic’. The ‘Actor’ model aims to infer the optimal choice in a continuous action space, which directly makes the track…
