Current Vision and Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate strong performance across various vision-language tasks, yet they struggle with fine-grained understanding. This issue stems from weak image-caption alignment in pretraining datasets and a simplified contrastive objective that fails to distinguish nuanced grounding elements such as relations, actions, and attributes. As a result, the models tend to learn bag-of-words representations. To mitigate these challenges, we introduce an intra-modal contrastive loss and a unique cross-modal rank loss with an adaptive threshold that serves as curriculum learning, utilizing our automatically generated hard negatives to augment the model's capacity. Our strategy, which does not necessitate additional annotations or parameters, can be incorporated into any VLM trained with an image-text contrastive loss. Upon application to CLIP, our method leads to significant improvements on four fine-grained benchmarks, and it also enhances the performance of X-VLM, which is the state-of-art moodel on fine-grained reasoning.

Traffic congestion and safety continue to pose significant challenges in urban environments. In this paper, we introduce the Smart Speed Bump (SSBump), a novel traffic calming solution that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and innovative non-Newtonian fluid materials to enhance road safety, optimize emergency response times, and improve the overall driving experience. The SSBump uses IoT sensors to detect and communicate with emergency vehicles, reducing response times by temporarily deflating. These sensors also analyze traffic patterns and inform data-driven decisions. Additionally, the SSBump uses an Oobleck mixture that adapts its behavior based on the velocity of approaching vehicles, resulting in a safer and more comfortable experience for drivers. This study commences with an overview of the prevalent traffic congestion, followed by a discussion on various available options in this domain. Subsequently, the paper explores the advantages of smart speed bumps and their operational mechanisms. Finally, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the results, its challenges, and the prospects of the work. The findings of this research demonstrate the potential of the SSBump system to revolutionize traffic control, emergency response time, and the driving experience in smart cities, making it a game-changing innovation for advanced transportation systems.

Recent advancements in technology have expanded the possibilities of human action recognition by leveraging 3D data, which offers a richer representation of actions through the inclusion of depth information, enabling more accurate analysis of spatial and temporal characteristics. However, 3D human action recognition is a challenging task due to the irregularity and Disarrangement of the data points in action sequences. In this context, we present our novel model for human action recognition from fixed topology mesh sequences based on Spiral Auto-encoder and Transformer Network, namely SpATr. The proposed method first disentangles space and time in the mesh sequences. Then, an auto-encoder is utilized to extract spatial geometrical features, and tiny transformer is used to capture the temporal evolution of the sequence. Previous methods either use 2D depth images, sample skeletons points or they require a huge amount of memory leading to the ability to process short sequences only. In this work, we show competitive recognition rate and high memory efficiency by building our auto-encoder based on spiral convolutions, which are light weight convolution directly applied to mesh data with fixed topologies, and by modeling temporal evolution using a attention, that can handle large sequences. The proposed method is evaluated on on two 3D human action datasets: MoVi and BMLrub from the Archive of Motion Capture As Surface Shapes (AMASS). The results analysis shows the effectiveness of our method in 3D human action recognition while maintaining high memory efficiency. The code will soon be made publicly available.

Adversarial training has been widely used to enhance the robustness of neural network models against adversarial attacks. Despite the popularity of neural network models, a significant gap exists between the natural and robust accuracy of these models. In this paper, we identify one of the primary reasons for this gap is the common use of one-hot vectors as labels, which hinders the learning process for image recognition. Representing ambiguous images with one-hot vectors is imprecise and may lead the model to suboptimal solutions. To overcome this issue, we propose a novel method called Low Temperature Distillation (LTD) that generates soft labels using the modified knowledge distillation framework. Unlike previous approaches, LTD uses a relatively low temperature in the teacher model and fixed, but different temperatures for the teacher and student models. This modification boosts the model's robustness without encountering the gradient masking problem that has been addressed in defensive distillation. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LTD method combined with previous techniques, achieving robust accuracy rates of 58.19%, 31.13%, and 42.08% on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet data sets, respectively, without additional unlabeled data.

The task of dynamic scene graph generation (SGG) from videos is complicated and challenging due to the inherent dynamics of a scene, temporal fluctuation of model predictions, and the long-tailed distribution of the visual relationships in addition to the already existing challenges in image-based SGG. Existing methods for dynamic SGG have primarily focused on capturing spatio-temporal context using complex architectures without addressing the challenges mentioned above, especially the long-tailed distribution of relationships. This often leads to the generation of biased scene graphs. To address these challenges, we introduce a new framework called TEMPURA: TEmporal consistency and Memory Prototype guided UnceRtainty Attenuation for unbiased dynamic SGG. TEMPURA employs object-level temporal consistencies via transformer-based sequence modeling, learns to synthesize unbiased relationship representations using memory-guided training, and attenuates the predictive uncertainty of visual relations using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves significant (up to 10% in some cases) performance gain over existing methods highlighting its superiority in generating more unbiased scene graphs.

In the last decade, many deep learning models have been well trained and made a great success in various fields of machine intelligence, especially for computer vision and natural language processing. To better leverage the potential of these well-trained models in intra-domain or cross-domain transfer learning situations, knowledge distillation (KD) and domain adaptation (DA) are proposed and become research highlights. They both aim to transfer useful information from a well-trained model with original training data. However, the original data is not always available in many cases due to privacy, copyright or confidentiality. Recently, the data-free knowledge transfer paradigm has attracted appealing attention as it deals with distilling valuable knowledge from well-trained models without requiring to access to the training data. In particular, it mainly consists of the data-free knowledge distillation (DFKD) and source data-free domain adaptation (SFDA). On the one hand, DFKD aims to transfer the intra-domain knowledge of original data from a cumbersome teacher network to a compact student network for model compression and efficient inference. On the other hand, the goal of SFDA is to reuse the cross-domain knowledge stored in a well-trained source model and adapt it to a target domain. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on data-free knowledge transfer from the perspectives of knowledge distillation and unsupervised domain adaptation, to help readers have a better understanding of the current research status and ideas. Applications and challenges of the two areas are briefly reviewed, respectively. Furthermore, we provide some insights to the subject of future research.

Deep supervised learning has achieved great success in the last decade. However, its deficiencies of dependence on manual labels and vulnerability to attacks have driven people to explore a better solution. As an alternative, self-supervised learning attracts many researchers for its soaring performance on representation learning in the last several years. Self-supervised representation learning leverages input data itself as supervision and benefits almost all types of downstream tasks. In this survey, we take a look into new self-supervised learning methods for representation in computer vision, natural language processing, and graph learning. We comprehensively review the existing empirical methods and summarize them into three main categories according to their objectives: generative, contrastive, and generative-contrastive (adversarial). We further investigate related theoretical analysis work to provide deeper thoughts on how self-supervised learning works. Finally, we briefly discuss open problems and future directions for self-supervised learning. An outline slide for the survey is provided.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used in representation learning on graphs and achieved state-of-the-art performance in tasks such as node classification and link prediction. However, most existing GNNs are designed to learn node representations on the fixed and homogeneous graphs. The limitations especially become problematic when learning representations on a misspecified graph or a heterogeneous graph that consists of various types of nodes and edges. In this paper, we propose Graph Transformer Networks (GTNs) that are capable of generating new graph structures, which involve identifying useful connections between unconnected nodes on the original graph, while learning effective node representation on the new graphs in an end-to-end fashion. Graph Transformer layer, a core layer of GTNs, learns a soft selection of edge types and composite relations for generating useful multi-hop connections so-called meta-paths. Our experiments show that GTNs learn new graph structures, based on data and tasks without domain knowledge, and yield powerful node representation via convolution on the new graphs. Without domain-specific graph preprocessing, GTNs achieved the best performance in all three benchmark node classification tasks against the state-of-the-art methods that require pre-defined meta-paths from domain knowledge.

Few-shot learning aims to learn novel categories from very few samples given some base categories with sufficient training samples. The main challenge of this task is the novel categories are prone to dominated by color, texture, shape of the object or background context (namely specificity), which are distinct for the given few training samples but not common for the corresponding categories (see Figure 1). Fortunately, we find that transferring information of the correlated based categories can help learn the novel concepts and thus avoid the novel concept being dominated by the specificity. Besides, incorporating semantic correlations among different categories can effectively regularize this information transfer. In this work, we represent the semantic correlations in the form of structured knowledge graph and integrate this graph into deep neural networks to promote few-shot learning by a novel Knowledge Graph Transfer Network (KGTN). Specifically, by initializing each node with the classifier weight of the corresponding category, a propagation mechanism is learned to adaptively propagate node message through the graph to explore node interaction and transfer classifier information of the base categories to those of the novel ones. Extensive experiments on the ImageNet dataset show significant performance improvement compared with current leading competitors. Furthermore, we construct an ImageNet-6K dataset that covers larger scale categories, i.e, 6,000 categories, and experiments on this dataset further demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.

We propose a new method for event extraction (EE) task based on an imitation learning framework, specifically, inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) via generative adversarial network (GAN). The GAN estimates proper rewards according to the difference between the actions committed by the expert (or ground truth) and the agent among complicated states in the environment. EE task benefits from these dynamic rewards because instances and labels yield to various extents of difficulty and the gains are expected to be diverse -- e.g., an ambiguous but correctly detected trigger or argument should receive high gains -- while the traditional RL models usually neglect such differences and pay equal attention on all instances. Moreover, our experiments also demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods, without explicit feature engineering.
