We present DFormer, a novel RGB-D pretraining framework to learn transferable representations for RGB-D segmentation tasks. DFormer has two new key innovations: 1) Unlike previous works that aim to encode RGB features,DFormer comprises a sequence of RGB-D blocks, which are tailored for encoding both RGB and depth information through a novel building block design; 2) We pre-train the backbone using image-depth pairs from ImageNet-1K, and thus the DFormer is endowed with the capacity to encode RGB-D representations. It avoids the mismatched encoding of the 3D geometry relationships in depth maps by RGB pre-trained backbones, which widely lies in existing methods but has not been resolved. We fine-tune the pre-trained DFormer on two popular RGB-D tasks, i.e., RGB-D semantic segmentation and RGB-D salient object detection, with a lightweight decoder head. Experimental results show that our DFormer achieves new state-of-the-art performance on these two tasks with less than half of the computational cost of the current best methods on two RGB-D segmentation datasets and five RGB-D saliency datasets. Our code is available at: //github.com/VCIP-RGBD/DFormer.

Transparent objects are common in daily life. However, depth sensing for transparent objects remains a challenging problem. While learning-based methods can leverage shape priors to improve the sensing quality, the labor-intensive data collection in the real world and the sim-to-real domain gap restrict these methods' scalability. In this paper, we propose a method to finetune a stereo network with sparse depth labels automatically collected using a probing system with tactile feedback. We present a novel utility function to evaluate the benefit of touches. By approximating and optimizing the utility function, we can optimize the probing locations given a fixed touching budget to better improve the network's performance on real objects. We further combine tactile depth supervision with a confidence-based regularization to prevent over-fitting during finetuning. To evaluate the effectiveness of our method, we construct a real-world dataset including both diffuse and transparent objects. Experimental results on this dataset show that our method can significantly improve real-world depth sensing accuracy, especially for transparent objects.

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks are highly sophisticated and employ a multitude of advanced methods and techniques to target organizations and steal sensitive and confidential information. APT attacks consist of multiple stages and have a defined strategy, utilizing new and innovative techniques and technologies developed by hackers to evade security software monitoring. To effectively protect against APTs, detecting and predicting APT indicators with an explanation from Machine Learning (ML) prediction is crucial to reveal the characteristics of attackers lurking in the network system. Meanwhile, Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising approach for building intelligent applications without compromising privacy. This is particularly important in cybersecurity, where sensitive data and high-quality labeling play a critical role in constructing effective machine learning models for detecting cyber threats. Therefore, this work proposes XFedHunter, an explainable federated learning framework for APT detection in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) leveraging local cyber threat knowledge from many training collaborators. In XFedHunter, Graph Neural Network (GNN) and Deep Learning model are utilized to reveal the malicious events effectively in the large number of normal ones in the network system. The experimental results on NF-ToN-IoT and DARPA TCE3 datasets indicate that our framework can enhance the trust and accountability of ML-based systems utilized for cybersecurity purposes without privacy leakage.

This paper presents an innovative methodology for improving the robustness and computational efficiency of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), a critical component in neuromorphic computing. The proposed approach integrates astrocytes, a type of glial cell prevalent in the human brain, into SNNs, creating astrocyte-augmented networks. To achieve this, we designed and implemented an astrocyte model in two distinct platforms: CPU/GPU and FPGA. Our FPGA implementation notably utilizes Dynamic Function Exchange (DFX) technology, enabling real-time hardware reconfiguration and adaptive model creation based on current operating conditions. The novel approach of leveraging astrocytes significantly improves the fault tolerance of SNNs, thereby enhancing their robustness. Notably, our astrocyte-augmented SNN displays near-zero latency and theoretically infinite throughput, implying exceptional computational efficiency. Through comprehensive comparative analysis with prior works, it's established that our model surpasses others in terms of neuron and synapse count while maintaining an efficient power consumption profile. These results underscore the potential of our methodology in shaping the future of neuromorphic computing, by providing robust and energy-efficient systems.

In this paper, we introduce a large-scale and high-quality audio-visual speaker verification dataset, named VoxBlink. We propose an innovative and robust automatic audio-visual data mining pipeline to curate this dataset, which contains 1.45M utterances from 38K speakers. Due to the inherent nature of automated data collection, introducing noisy data is inevitable. Therefore, we also utilize a multi-modal purification step to generate a cleaner version of the VoxBlink, named VoxBlink-clean, comprising 18K identities and 1.02M utterances. In contrast to the VoxCeleb, the VoxBlink sources from short videos of ordinary users, and the covered scenarios can better align with real-life situations. To our best knowledge, the VoxBlink dataset is one of the largest publicly available speaker verification datasets. Leveraging the VoxCeleb and VoxBlink-clean datasets together, we employ diverse speaker verification models with multiple architectural backbones to conduct comprehensive evaluations on the VoxCeleb test sets. Experimental results indicate a substantial enhancement in performance,ranging from 12% to 30% relatively, across various backbone architectures upon incorporating the VoxBlink-clean into the training process. The details of the dataset can be found on //voxblink.github.io

We present a novel inference scheme, self-speculative decoding, for accelerating Large Language Models (LLMs) without the need for an auxiliary model. This approach is characterized by a two-stage process: drafting and verification. The drafting stage generates draft tokens at a slightly lower quality but more quickly, which is achieved by selectively skipping certain intermediate layers during drafting Subsequently, the verification stage employs the original LLM to validate those draft output tokens in one forward pass. This process ensures the final output remains identical to that produced by the unaltered LLM, thereby maintaining output quality. The proposed method requires no additional neural network training and no extra memory footprint, making it a plug-and-play and cost-effective solution for inference acceleration. Benchmarks with LLaMA-2 and its fine-tuned models demonstrated a speedup up to 1.73$\times$.

Open-sourced large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in various tasks with instruction tuning. However, these models can sometimes struggle with tasks that require more specialized knowledge such as translation. One possible reason for such deficiency is that instruction tuning aims to generate fluent and coherent text that continues from a given instruction without being constrained by any task-specific requirements. Moreover, it can be more challenging for tuning smaller LLMs with lower-quality training data. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework using examples in comparison to teach LLMs to learn translation. Our approach involves presenting the model with examples of correct and incorrect translations and using a preference loss to guide the model's learning. We evaluate our method on WMT2022 test sets and show that it outperforms existing methods. Our findings offer a new perspective on fine-tuning LLMs for translation tasks and provide a promising solution for generating high-quality translations.

We introduce Secure Haplotype Imputation Employing Local Differential privacy (SHIELD), a program for accurately estimating the genotype of target samples at markers that are not directly assayed by array-based genotyping platforms while preserving the privacy of donors to public reference panels. At the core of SHIELD is the Li-Stephens model of genetic recombination, according to which genomic information is comprised of mosaics of ancestral haplotype fragments that coalesce via a Markov random field. We use the standard forward-backward algorithm for inferring the ancestral haplotypes of target genomes, and hence the most likely genotype at unobserved sites, using a reference panel of template haplotypes whose privacy is guaranteed by the randomized response technique from differential privacy.

We present VeriX, a first step towards verified explainability of machine learning models in safety-critical applications. Specifically, our sound and optimal explanations can guarantee prediction invariance against bounded perturbations. We utilise constraint solving techniques together with feature sensitivity ranking to efficiently compute these explanations. We evaluate our approach on image recognition benchmarks and a real-world scenario of autonomous aircraft taxiing.

As an effective strategy, data augmentation (DA) alleviates data scarcity scenarios where deep learning techniques may fail. It is widely applied in computer vision then introduced to natural language processing and achieves improvements in many tasks. One of the main focuses of the DA methods is to improve the diversity of training data, thereby helping the model to better generalize to unseen testing data. In this survey, we frame DA methods into three categories based on the diversity of augmented data, including paraphrasing, noising, and sampling. Our paper sets out to analyze DA methods in detail according to the above categories. Further, we also introduce their applications in NLP tasks as well as the challenges.
