This paper presents a Predictive Maneuver Planning with Deep Reinforcement Learning (PMP-DRL) model for maneuver planning. Traditional rule-based maneuver planning approaches often have to improve their abilities to handle the variabilities of real-world driving scenarios. By learning from its experience, a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based driving agent can adapt to changing driving conditions and improve its performance over time. Our proposed approach combines a predictive model and an RL agent to plan for comfortable and safe maneuvers. The predictive model is trained using historical driving data to predict the future positions of other surrounding vehicles. The surrounding vehicles' past and predicted future positions are embedded in context-aware grid maps. At the same time, the RL agent learns to make maneuvers based on this spatio-temporal context information. Performance evaluation of PMP-DRL has been carried out using simulated environments generated from publicly available NGSIM US101 and I80 datasets. The training sequence shows the continuous improvement in the driving experiences. It shows that proposed PMP-DRL can learn the trade-off between safety and comfortability. The decisions generated by the recent imitation learning-based model are compared with the proposed PMP-DRL for unseen scenarios. The results clearly show that PMP-DRL can handle complex real-world scenarios and make better comfortable and safe maneuver decisions than rule-based and imitative models.

In this paper, we present a Hybrid Spectral Denoising Transformer (HSDT) for hyperspectral image denoising. Challenges in adapting transformer for HSI arise from the capabilities to tackle existing limitations of CNN-based methods in capturing the global and local spatial-spectral correlations while maintaining efficiency and flexibility. To address these issues, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines the advantages of both models with a Spatial-Spectral Separable Convolution (S3Conv), Guided Spectral Self-Attention (GSSA), and Self-Modulated Feed-Forward Network (SM-FFN). Our S3Conv works as a lightweight alternative to 3D convolution, which extracts more spatial-spectral correlated features while keeping the flexibility to tackle HSIs with an arbitrary number of bands. These features are then adaptively processed by GSSA which per-forms 3D self-attention across the spectral bands, guided by a set of learnable queries that encode the spectral signatures. This not only enriches our model with powerful capabilities for identifying global spectral correlations but also maintains linear complexity. Moreover, our SM-FFN proposes the self-modulation that intensifies the activations of more informative regions, which further strengthens the aggregated features. Extensive experiments are conducted on various datasets under both simulated and real-world noise, and it shows that our HSDT significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods while maintaining low computational overhead.

This study presents an ensemble model combining LSTM, BiLSTM, CNN, GRU, and GloVe to classify gene mutations using Kaggle's Personalized Medicine: Redefining Cancer Treatment dataset. The results were compared against well-known transformers like as BERT, Electra, Roberta, XLNet, Distilbert, and their LSTM ensembles. Our model outperformed all other models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and Mean Squared Error. Surprisingly, it also needed less training time, resulting in a perfect combination of performance and efficiency. This study demonstrates the utility of ensemble models for difficult tasks such as gene mutation classification.
Motion planning has been an important research topic in achieving safe and flexible maneuvers for intelligent vehicles. However, it remains challenging to realize efficient and optimal planning in the presence of uncertain model dynamics. In this paper, a sparse kernel-based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm with Gaussian Process (GP) Regression (called GP-SKRL) is proposed to achieve online adaption and near-optimal motion planning performance. In this algorithm, we design an efficient sparse GP regression method to learn the uncertain dynamics. Based on the updated model, a sparse kernel-based policy iteration algorithm with an exponential barrier function is designed to learn the near-optimal planning policies with the capability to avoid dynamic obstacles. Thereby, batch-mode GP-SKRL with online adaption capability can estimate the changing system dynamics. The converged RL policies are then deployed on vehicles efficiently under a safety-aware module. As a result, the produced driving actions are safe and less conservative, and the planning performance has been noticeably improved. Extensive simulation results show that GP-SKRL outperforms several advanced motion planning methods in terms of average cumulative cost, trajectory length, and task completion time. In particular, experiments on a Hongqi E-HS3 vehicle demonstrate that superior GP-SKRL provides a practical planning solution.
Scene Text Image Super-resolution (STISR) aims to recover high-resolution (HR) scene text images with visually pleasant and readable text content from the given low-resolution (LR) input. Most existing works focus on recovering English texts, which have relatively simple character structures, while little work has been done on the more challenging Chinese texts with diverse and complex character structures. In this paper, we propose a real-world Chinese-English benchmark dataset, namely Real-CE, for the task of STISR with the emphasis on restoring structurally complex Chinese characters. The benchmark provides 1,935/783 real-world LR-HR text image pairs~(contains 33,789 text lines in total) for training/testing in 2$\times$ and 4$\times$ zooming modes, complemented by detailed annotations, including detection boxes and text transcripts. Moreover, we design an edge-aware learning method, which provides structural supervision in image and feature domains, to effectively reconstruct the dense structures of Chinese characters. We conduct experiments on the proposed Real-CE benchmark and evaluate the existing STISR models with and without our edge-aware loss. The benchmark, including data and source code, is available at //github.com/mjq/Real-CE.
We develop the Randomized Neural Networks with Petrov-Galerkin Methods (RNN-PG methods) to solve linear elasticity problems. RNN-PG methods use Petrov-Galerkin variational framework, where the solution is approximated by randomized neural networks and the test functions are piecewise polynomials. Unlike conventional neural networks, the parameters of the hidden layers of the randomized neural networks are fixed randomly, while the parameters of the output layer are determined by the least square method, which can effectively approximate the solution. We also develop mixed RNN-PG methods for linear elasticity problems, which ensure the symmetry of the stress tensor and avoid locking effects. We compare RNN-PG methods with the finite element method, the mixed discontinuous Galerkin method, and the physics-informed neural network on several examples, and the numerical results demonstrate that RNN-PG methods achieve higher accuracy and efficiency.
The paper is briefly dealing with greater or lesser misused normalization in self-modeling/multivariate curve resolution (S/MCR) practice. The importance of the correct use of the ode solvers and apt kinetic illustrations are elucidated. The new terms, external and internal normalizations are defined and interpreted. The problem of reducibility of a matrix is touched. Improper generalization/development of normalization-based methods are cited as examples. The position of the extreme values of the signal contribution function is clarified. An Executable Notebook with Matlab Live Editor was created for algorithmic explanations and depictions.
We propose MM-Vet, an evaluation benchmark that examines large multimodal models (LMMs) on complicated multimodal tasks. Recent LMMs have shown various intriguing abilities, such as solving math problems written on the blackboard, reasoning about events and celebrities in news images, and explaining visual jokes. Rapid model advancements pose challenges to evaluation benchmark development. Problems include: (1) How to systematically structure and evaluate the complicated multimodal tasks; (2) How to design evaluation metrics that work well across question and answer types; and (3) How to give model insights beyond a simple performance ranking. To this end, we present MM-Vet, designed based on the insight that the intriguing ability to solve complicated tasks is often achieved by a generalist model being able to integrate different core vision-language (VL) capabilities. MM-Vet defines 6 core VL capabilities and examines the 16 integrations of interest derived from the capability combination. For evaluation metrics, we propose an LLM-based evaluator for open-ended outputs. The evaluator enables the evaluation across different question types and answer styles, resulting in a unified scoring metric. We evaluate representative LMMs on MM-Vet, providing insights into the capabilities of different LMM system paradigms and models. Code and data are available at //github.com/yuweihao/MM-Vet.
Recently pre-trained language representation models such as BERT have shown great success when fine-tuned on downstream tasks including information retrieval (IR). However, pre-training objectives tailored for ad-hoc retrieval have not been well explored. In this paper, we propose Pre-training with Representative wOrds Prediction (PROP) for ad-hoc retrieval. PROP is inspired by the classical statistical language model for IR, specifically the query likelihood model, which assumes that the query is generated as the piece of text representative of the "ideal" document. Based on this idea, we construct the representative words prediction (ROP) task for pre-training. Given an input document, we sample a pair of word sets according to the document language model, where the set with higher likelihood is deemed as more representative of the document. We then pre-train the Transformer model to predict the pairwise preference between the two word sets, jointly with the Masked Language Model (MLM) objective. By further fine-tuning on a variety of representative downstream ad-hoc retrieval tasks, PROP achieves significant improvements over baselines without pre-training or with other pre-training methods. We also show that PROP can achieve exciting performance under both the zero- and low-resource IR settings. The code and pre-trained models are available at //github.com/Albert-Ma/PROP.
Recent work pre-training Transformers with self-supervised objectives on large text corpora has shown great success when fine-tuned on downstream NLP tasks including text summarization. However, pre-training objectives tailored for abstractive text summarization have not been explored. Furthermore there is a lack of systematic evaluation across diverse domains. In this work, we propose pre-training large Transformer-based encoder-decoder models on massive text corpora with a new self-supervised objective. In PEGASUS, important sentences are removed/masked from an input document and are generated together as one output sequence from the remaining sentences, similar to an extractive summary. We evaluated our best PEGASUS model on 12 downstream summarization tasks spanning news, science, stories, instructions, emails, patents, and legislative bills. Experiments demonstrate it achieves state-of-the-art performance on all 12 downstream datasets measured by ROUGE scores. Our model also shows surprising performance on low-resource summarization, surpassing previous state-of-the-art results on 6 datasets with only 1000 examples. Finally we validated our results using human evaluation and show that our model summaries achieve human performance on multiple datasets.
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) has shown marvelous improvements across various NLP tasks. Recently, an upgraded version of BERT has been released with Whole Word Masking (WWM), which mitigate the drawbacks of masking partial WordPiece tokens in pre-training BERT. In this technical report, we adapt whole word masking in Chinese text, that masking the whole word instead of masking Chinese characters, which could bring another challenge in Masked Language Model (MLM) pre-training task. The model was trained on the latest Chinese Wikipedia dump. We aim to provide easy extensibility and better performance for Chinese BERT without changing any neural architecture or even hyper-parameters. The model is verified on various NLP tasks, across sentence-level to document-level, including sentiment classification (ChnSentiCorp, Sina Weibo), named entity recognition (People Daily, MSRA-NER), natural language inference (XNLI), sentence pair matching (LCQMC, BQ Corpus), and machine reading comprehension (CMRC 2018, DRCD, CAIL RC). Experimental results on these datasets show that the whole word masking could bring another significant gain. Moreover, we also examine the effectiveness of Chinese pre-trained models: BERT, ERNIE, BERT-wwm. We release the pre-trained model (both TensorFlow and PyTorch) on GitHub: //github.com/ymcui/Chinese-BERT-wwm
