In artificial intelligence, any model that wants to achieve a good result is inseparable from a large number of high-quality data. It is especially true in the field of tamper detection. This paper proposes a modified total variation noise reduction method to acquire high-quality tampered images. We automatically crawl original and tampered images from the Baidu PS Bar. Baidu PS Bar is a website where net friends post countless tampered images. Subtracting the original image with the tampered image can highlight the tampered area. However, there is also substantial noise on the final print, so these images can't be directly used in the deep learning model. Our modified total variation noise reduction method is aimed at solving this problem. Because a lot of text is slender, it is easy to lose text information after the opening and closing operation. We use MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) and NMS (Non-maximum Suppression) technology to extract text information. And then use the modified total variation noise reduction technology to process the subtracted image. Finally, we can obtain an image with little noise by adding the image and text information. And the idea also largely retains the text information. Datasets generated in this way can be used in deep learning models, and they will help the model achieve better results.

This paper addresses a UAV path planning task that seeks to observe a set of objects while satisfying the observation quality constraint. A dynamic programming algorithm is proposed that enables the UAV to observe the target objects with shortest path while subjecting to the observation quality constraint. The objects have their own facing direction and restricted observation range. With an observing order, the algorithm achieves (1+$\epsilon$)-approximation ratio in theory and runs in polynomial time. The extensive results show that the algorithm produces near-optimal solutions, the effectiveness of which is also tested and proved in the Airsim simulator, a realistic virtual environment.
Measurement uncertainties, represented by cyber-attacks and data losses, seriously degrade the quality of power system measurements. Fortunately, the powerful generation ability of the denoising diffusion models can enable more precise measurement generation for power system data recovery. However, the controllable data generation and efficient computing methods of denoising diffusion models for deterministic trajectory still need further investigation. To this end, this paper proposes an improved two-stage denoising diffusion model (TSDM) to identify and reconstruct the measurements with various measurement uncertainties. The first stage of the model comprises a classifier-guided conditional anomaly detection component, while the second stage involves diffusion-based measurement imputation component. Moreover, the proposed TSDM adopts precise means and optimal variances to accelerate the diffusion generation process with subsequence sampling. Extensive numerical case studies demonstrate that the proposed TSDM can accurately recover power system measurements despite strong randomness under renewable energy integration and highly nonlinear dynamics under complex cyber-physical contingencies. Additionally, the proposed TSDM has stronger robustness compared to existing reconstruction networks and exhibits lower computational complexity than general denoising diffusion models.
Human intelligence and human consciousness emerge gradually during the process of cognitive development. Understanding this development is an essential aspect of understanding the human mind and may facilitate the construction of artificial minds with similar properties. Importantly, human cognitive development relies on embodied interactions with the physical and social environment, which is perceived via complementary sensory modalities. These interactions allow the developing mind to probe the causal structure of the world. This is in stark contrast to common machine learning approaches, e.g., for large language models, which are merely passively ``digesting'' large amounts of training data, but are not in control of their sensory inputs. However, computational modeling of the kind of self-determined embodied interactions that lead to human intelligence and consciousness is a formidable challenge. Here we present MIMo, an open-source multi-modal infant model for studying early cognitive development through computer simulations. MIMo's body is modeled after an 18-month-old child with detailed five-fingered hands. MIMo perceives its surroundings via binocular vision, a vestibular system, proprioception, and touch perception through a full-body virtual skin, while two different actuation models allow control of his body. We describe the design and interfaces of MIMo and provide examples illustrating its use. All code is available at //github.com/trieschlab/MIMo .
The advent of increasingly powerful language models has raised expectations for language-based interactions. However, controlling these models is a challenge, emphasizing the need to be able to investigate the feasibility and value of their application. We present PROMISE, a framework that facilitates the development of complex language-based interactions with information systems. Its use of state machine modeling concepts enables model-driven, dynamic prompt orchestration across hierarchically nested states and transitions. This improves the control of the behavior of language models and thus enables their effective and efficient use. We show the benefits of PROMISE in the context of application scenarios within health information systems and demonstrate its ability to handle complex interactions.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive inferential capabilities, with numerous research endeavors devoted to enhancing this capacity through prompting. Despite these efforts, a unified epistemological foundation is still conspicuously absent. Drawing inspiration from Kant's a priori philosophy, we propose the UPAR prompting framework, designed to emulate the structure of human cognition within LLMs. The UPAR framework is delineated into four phases: "Understand", "Plan", "Act", and "Reflect", enabling the extraction of structured information from complex contexts, prior planning of solutions, execution according to plan, and self-reflection. This structure significantly augments the explainability and accuracy of LLM inference, producing a human-understandable and inspectable inferential trajectory. Furthermore, our work offers an epistemological foundation for existing prompting techniques, allowing for a possible systematic integration of these methods. With GPT-4, our approach elevates the accuracy from COT baseline of 22.92% to 58.33% in a challenging subset of GSM8K, and from 67.91% to 75.40% in the causal judgment task. Without using few-shot examples or external tools, UPAR significantly outperforms existing prompting methods on SCIBENCH, a challenging dataset containing collegiate-level mathematics, chemistry, and physics scientific problems.
For many data-processing applications, a comprehensive set of efficient operations for the management of priority values is required. Indexed priority queues are particularly promising to satisfy this requirement by design. In this work, we report the design and analysis of an efficient indexed priority queue with a comprehensive set of operations. In particular, $\mathtt{insert}$, $\mathtt{delete}$ and $\mathtt{decrease}$ all run in expected $O(\log^{*}{n})$ time, while $\mathtt{increase}$ is conjectured by means of Monte Carlo simulations to run in expected $O(\log\log{n})$ time. The space complexity as well as the time complexity for the construction of the empty heap data structure is $O(n)$. For certain massive computational problems, such as specific analyses of extremely large graphs and (chemical) simulations, this heap system may exhibit considerable utility.
Recommendation systems have become popular and effective tools to help users discover their interesting items by modeling the user preference and item property based on implicit interactions (e.g., purchasing and clicking). Humans perceive the world by processing the modality signals (e.g., audio, text and image), which inspired researchers to build a recommender system that can understand and interpret data from different modalities. Those models could capture the hidden relations between different modalities and possibly recover the complementary information which can not be captured by a uni-modal approach and implicit interactions. The goal of this survey is to provide a comprehensive review of the recent research efforts on the multimodal recommendation. Specifically, it shows a clear pipeline with commonly used techniques in each step and classifies the models by the methods used. Additionally, a code framework has been designed that helps researchers new in this area to understand the principles and techniques, and easily runs the SOTA models. Our framework is located at: //github.com/enoche/MMRec
In pace with developments in the research field of artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs (KGs) have attracted a surge of interest from both academia and industry. As a representation of semantic relations between entities, KGs have proven to be particularly relevant for natural language processing (NLP), experiencing a rapid spread and wide adoption within recent years. Given the increasing amount of research work in this area, several KG-related approaches have been surveyed in the NLP research community. However, a comprehensive study that categorizes established topics and reviews the maturity of individual research streams remains absent to this day. Contributing to closing this gap, we systematically analyzed 507 papers from the literature on KGs in NLP. Our survey encompasses a multifaceted review of tasks, research types, and contributions. As a result, we present a structured overview of the research landscape, provide a taxonomy of tasks, summarize our findings, and highlight directions for future work.
Answering complex questions about images is an ambitious goal for machine intelligence, which requires a joint understanding of images, text, and commonsense knowledge, as well as a strong reasoning ability. Recently, multimodal Transformers have made great progress in the task of Visual Commonsense Reasoning (VCR), by jointly understanding visual objects and text tokens through layers of cross-modality attention. However, these approaches do not utilize the rich structure of the scene and the interactions between objects which are essential in answering complex commonsense questions. We propose a Scene Graph Enhanced Image-Text Learning (SGEITL) framework to incorporate visual scene graphs in commonsense reasoning. To exploit the scene graph structure, at the model structure level, we propose a multihop graph transformer for regularizing attention interaction among hops. As for pre-training, a scene-graph-aware pre-training method is proposed to leverage structure knowledge extracted in the visual scene graph. Moreover, we introduce a method to train and generate domain-relevant visual scene graphs using textual annotations in a weakly-supervised manner. Extensive experiments on VCR and other tasks show a significant performance boost compared with the state-of-the-art methods and prove the efficacy of each proposed component.
For better user experience and business effectiveness, Click-Through Rate (CTR) prediction has been one of the most important tasks in E-commerce. Although extensive CTR prediction models have been proposed, learning good representation of items from multimodal features is still less investigated, considering an item in E-commerce usually contains multiple heterogeneous modalities. Previous works either concatenate the multiple modality features, that is equivalent to giving a fixed importance weight to each modality; or learn dynamic weights of different modalities for different items through technique like attention mechanism. However, a problem is that there usually exists common redundant information across multiple modalities. The dynamic weights of different modalities computed by using the redundant information may not correctly reflect the different importance of each modality. To address this, we explore the complementarity and redundancy of modalities by considering modality-specific and modality-invariant features differently. We propose a novel Multimodal Adversarial Representation Network (MARN) for the CTR prediction task. A multimodal attention network first calculates the weights of multiple modalities for each item according to its modality-specific features. Then a multimodal adversarial network learns modality-invariant representations where a double-discriminators strategy is introduced. Finally, we achieve the multimodal item representations by combining both modality-specific and modality-invariant representations. We conduct extensive experiments on both public and industrial datasets, and the proposed method consistently achieves remarkable improvements to the state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the approach has been deployed in an operational E-commerce system and online A/B testing further demonstrates the effectiveness.
