Robust feature encoding constitutes the foundation of UAV tracking by enabling the nuanced perception of target appearance and motion, thereby playing a pivotal role in ensuring reliable tracking. However, existing feature encoding methods often overlook critical illumination and viewpoint cues, whi…
Thermal imaging can greatly enhance the application of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in challenging environments. However, the inherent low resolution of thermal sensors leads to insufficient details and blurred boundaries. Super-resolution (SR) offers a promising solution to address th
Super-resolution (SR) can greatly promote the development of edge electro-optical (EO) devices. However, most existing SR models struggle to simultaneously achieve effective thermal reconstruction and real-time inference on edge EO devices with limited computing resources. To address these issues, t
Machine unlearning (MU) aims to remove the influence of specific data points from trained models, enhancing compliance with privacy regulations. However, the vulnerability of basic MU models to malicious unlearning requests in adversarial learning environments has been largely overlooked. Existing a…
Vision-based online vessel detection boosts the automation of waterways monitoring, transportation management and navigation safety. However, a significant gap exists in on-device deployment between general high-performance PCs/servers and embedded AI processors. Existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) onl
Graph matching in the setting of federated learning is still an open problem. This paper proposes an unsupervised federated graph matching algorithm, UFGM, for inferring matched node pairs on different graphs across clients while maintaining privacy requirement, by leveraging graphlet theory and tru…
As a promising paradigm to collaboratively train models with decentralized data, Federated Learning (FL) can be exploited to fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs). While LLMs correspond to huge size, the scale of the training data significantly increases, which leads to tremendous amounts of comput…
Federated machine unlearning (FMU) aims to remove the influence of a specified subset of training data upon request from a trained federated learning model. Despite achieving remarkable performance, existing FMU techniques suffer from inefficiency due to two sequential operations of training and ret…
The right to be forgotten calls for efficient machine unlearning techniques that make trained machine learning models forget a cohort of data. The combination of training and unlearning operations in traditional machine unlearning methods often leads to the expensive computational cost on large-scal…
Recent literatures have shown that knowledge graph (KG) learning models are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks. However, there is still a paucity of vulnerability analyses of cross-lingual entity alignment under adversarial attacks. This paper proposes an adversarial attack model with two nove…
Recent findings have shown multiple graph learning models, such as graph classification and graph matching, are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, i.e. small input perturbations in graph structures and node attributes can cause the model failures. Existing defense techniques often defend spec…
A recent study has shown that graph matching models are vulnerable to adversarial manipulation of their input which is intended to cause a mismatching. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of a comprehensive solution for further enhancing the robustness of graph matching against adversarial attacks.…
Despite achieving remarkable efficiency, traditional network pruning techniques often follow manually-crafted heuristics to generate pruned sparse networks. Such heuristic pruning strategies are hard to guarantee that the pruned networks achieve test accuracy comparable to the original dense ones. R…
Despite achieving remarkable performance, deep graph learning models, such as node classification and network embedding, suffer from harassment caused by small adversarial perturbations. However, the vulnerability analysis of graph matching under adversarial attacks has not been fully investigated y…
