Domain-generalized nuclei segmentation refers to the generalizability of models to unseen domains based on knowledge learned from source domains and is challenged by various image conditions, cell types, and stain strategies. Recently, the Segment Anything Model (SAM) has made great success in universal image segmentation by interactive prompt modes (e.g., point and box). Despite its strengths, the original SAM presents limited adaptation to medical images. Moreover, SAM requires providing manual bounding box prompts for each object to produce satisfactory segmentation masks, so it is laborious in nuclei segmentation scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a domain-generalizable framework for nuclei image segmentation, abbreviated to NuSegDG. Specifically, we first devise a Heterogeneous Space Adapter (HS-Adapter) to learn multi-dimensional feature representations of different nuclei domains by injecting a small number of trainable parameters into the image encoder of SAM. To alleviate the labor-intensive requirement of manual prompts, we introduce a Gaussian-Kernel Prompt Encoder (GKP-Encoder) to generate density maps driven by a single point, which guides segmentation predictions by mixing position prompts and semantic prompts. Furthermore, we present a Two-Stage Mask Decoder (TSM-Decoder) to effectively convert semantic masks to instance maps without the manual demand for morphological shape refinement. Based on our experimental evaluations, the proposed NuSegDG demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in nuclei instance segmentation, exhibiting superior domain generalization capabilities.

The universality of deep neural networks across different modalities and their generalization capabilities to unseen domains play an essential role in medical image segmentation. The recent Segment Anything Model (SAM) has demonstrated its potential in both settings. However, the huge computational costs, demand for manual annotations as prompts and conflict-prone decoding process of SAM degrade its generalizability and applicability in clinical scenarios. To address these issues, we propose an efficient self-prompting SAM for universal domain-generalized medical image segmentation, named ESP-MedSAM. Specifically, we first devise the Multi-Modal Decoupled Knowledge Distillation (MMDKD) strategy to construct a lightweight semi-parameter sharing image encoder that produces discriminative visual features for diverse modalities. Further, we introduce the Self-Patch Prompt Generator (SPPG) to automatically generate high-quality dense prompt embeddings for guiding segmentation decoding. Finally, we design the Query-Decoupled Modality Decoder (QDMD) that leverages a one-to-one strategy to provide an independent decoding channel for every modality. Extensive experiments indicate that ESP-MedSAM outperforms state-of-the-arts in diverse medical imaging segmentation tasks, displaying superior modality universality and generalization capabilities. Especially, ESP-MedSAM uses only 4.5\% parameters compared to SAM-H. The source code is available at https://github.com/xq141839/ESP-MedSAM., Comment: Under Review

Perception is essential for autonomous driving system. Recent approaches based on Bird's-eye-view (BEV) and deep learning have made significant progress. However, there exists challenging issues including lengthy development cycles, poor reusability, and complex sensor setups in perception algorithm development process. To tackle the above challenges, this paper proposes a novel hierarchical BEV perception paradigm, aiming to provide a library of fundamental perception modules and user-friendly graphical interface, enabling swift construction of customized models. We conduct the Pretrain-Finetune strategy to effectively utilize large scale public datasets and streamline development processes. Moreover, we present a Multi-Module Learning (MML) approach, enhancing performance through synergistic and iterative training of multiple models. Extensive experimental results on the Nuscenes dataset demonstrate that our approach renders significant improvement over the traditional training scheme.

Bird's-eye-view (BEV) semantic segmentation is becoming crucial in autonomous driving systems. It realizes ego-vehicle surrounding environment perception by projecting 2D multi-view images into 3D world space. Recently, BEV segmentation has made notable progress, attributed to better view transformation modules, larger image encoders, or more temporal information. However, there are still two issues: 1) a lack of effective understanding and enhancement of BEV space features, particularly in accurately capturing long-distance environmental features and 2) recognizing fine details of target objects. To address these issues, we propose OE-BevSeg, an end-to-end multimodal framework that enhances BEV segmentation performance through global environment-aware perception and local target object enhancement. OE-BevSeg employs an environment-aware BEV compressor. Based on prior knowledge about the main composition of the BEV surrounding environment varying with the increase of distance intervals, long-sequence global modeling is utilized to improve the model's understanding and perception of the environment. From the perspective of enriching target object information in segmentation results, we introduce the center-informed object enhancement module, using centerness information to supervise and guide the segmentation head, thereby enhancing segmentation performance from a local enhancement perspective. Additionally, we designed a multimodal fusion branch that integrates multi-view RGB image features with radar/LiDAR features, achieving significant performance improvements. Extensive experiments show that, whether in camera-only or multimodal fusion BEV segmentation tasks, our approach achieves state-of-the-art results by a large margin on the nuScenes dataset for vehicle segmentation, demonstrating superior applicability in the field of autonomous driving.

Adversarial attack on skeletal motion is a hot topic. However, existing researches only consider part of dynamic features when measuring distance between skeleton graph sequences, which results in poor imperceptibility. To this end, we propose a novel adversarial attack method to attack action recognizers for skeletal motions. Firstly, our method systematically proposes a dynamic distance function to measure the difference between skeletal motions. Meanwhile, we innovatively introduce emotional features for complementary information. In addition, we use Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers(ADMM) to solve the constrained optimization problem, which generates adversarial samples with better imperceptibility to deceive the classifiers. Experiments show that our method is effective on multiple action classifiers and datasets. When the perturbation magnitude measured by l norms is the same, the dynamic perturbations generated by our method are much lower than that of other methods. What's more, we are the first to prove the effectiveness of emotional features, and provide a new idea for measuring the distance between skeletal motions.

Limited by the scale and diversity of time series data, the neural networks trained on time series data often overfit and show unsatisfacotry performances. In comparison, large language models (LLMs) recently exhibit impressive generalization in diverse fields. Although massive LLM based approaches are proposed for time series tasks, these methods require to load the whole LLM in both training and reference. This high computational demands limit practical applications in resource-constrained settings, like edge-computing and IoT devices. To address this issue, we propose Knowledge Pruning (KP), a novel paradigm for time series learning in this paper. For a specific downstream task, we argue that the world knowledge learned by LLMs is much redundant and only the related knowledge termed as "pertinent knowledge" is useful. Unlike other methods, our KP targets to prune the redundant knowledge and only distill the pertinent knowledge into the target model. This reduces model size and computational costs significantly. Additionally, different from existing LLM based approaches, our KP does not require to load the LLM in the process of training and testing, further easing computational burdens. With our proposed KP, a lightweight network can effectively learn the pertinent knowledge, achieving satisfactory performances with a low computation cost. To verify the effectiveness of our KP, two fundamental tasks on edge-computing devices are investigated in our experiments, where eight diverse environments or benchmarks with different networks are used to verify the generalization of our KP. Through experiments, our KP demonstrates effective learning of pertinent knowledge, achieving notable performance improvements in regression (19.7% on average) and classification (up to 13.7%) tasks, showcasing state-of-the-art results., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures

In this paper, we consider the problem of visual scanning mechanism underpinning sensorimotor tasks, such as walking and driving, in dynamic environments. We exploit eye tracking data for offering two new cognitive effort measures in visual scanning behavior of virtual driving. By utilizing the retinal flow induced by fixation, two novel measures of cognitive effort are proposed through the importance of grids in the viewing plane and the concept of information quantity, respectively. Psychophysical studies are conducted to reveal the effectiveness of the two proposed measures. Both these two cognitive effort measures have shown their significant correlation with pupil size change. Our results suggest that the quantitative exploitation of eye tracking data provides an effective approach for the evaluation of sensorimotor activities.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely used in many artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. However, deploying them brings significant challenges due to the huge cost of memory, energy, and computation. To address these challenges, researchers have developed various model compression techniques such as model quantization and model pruning. Recently, there has been a surge in research of compression methods to achieve model efficiency while retaining the performance. Furthermore, more and more works focus on customizing the DNN hardware accelerators to better leverage the model compression techniques. In addition to efficiency, preserving security and privacy is critical for deploying DNNs. However, the vast and diverse body of related works can be overwhelming. This inspires us to conduct a comprehensive survey on recent research toward the goal of high-performance, cost-efficient, and safe deployment of DNNs. Our survey first covers the mainstream model compression techniques such as model quantization, model pruning, knowledge distillation, and optimizations of non-linear operations. We then introduce recent advances in designing hardware accelerators that can adapt to efficient model compression approaches. Additionally, we discuss how homomorphic encryption can be integrated to secure DNN deployment. Finally, we discuss several issues, such as hardware evaluation, generalization, and integration of various compression approaches. Overall, we aim to provide a big picture of efficient DNNs, from algorithm to hardware accelerators and security perspectives., Comment: This manuscript is the accepted version for TNNLS(IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems)

In driving tasks, the driver's situation awareness of the surrounding scenario is crucial for safety driving. However, current methods of measuring situation awareness mostly rely on subjective questionnaires, which interrupt tasks and lack non-intrusive quantification. To address this issue, our study utilizes objective gaze motion data to provide an interference-free quantification method for situation awareness. Three quantitative scores are proposed to represent three different levels of awareness: perception, comprehension, and projection, and an overall score of situation awareness is also proposed based on above three scores. To validate our findings, we conducted experiments where subjects performed driving tasks in a virtual reality simulated environment. All the four proposed situation awareness scores have clearly shown a significant correlation with driving performance. The proposed not only illuminates a new path for understanding and evaluating the situation awareness but also offers a satisfying proxy for driving performance.

Knowledge distillation (KD) has become a widely used technique in the field of model compression, which aims to transfer knowledge from a large teacher model to a lightweight student model for efficient network development. In addition to the supervision of ground truth, the vanilla KD method regards the predictions of the teacher as soft labels to supervise the training of the student model. Based on vanilla KD, various approaches have been developed to further improve the performance of the student model. However, few of these previous methods have considered the reliability of the supervision from teacher models. Supervision from erroneous predictions may mislead the training of the student model. This paper therefore proposes to tackle this problem from two aspects: Label Revision to rectify the incorrect supervision and Data Selection to select appropriate samples for distillation to reduce the impact of erroneous supervision. In the former, we propose to rectify the teacher's inaccurate predictions using the ground truth. In the latter, we introduce a data selection technique to choose suitable training samples to be supervised by the teacher, thereby reducing the impact of incorrect predictions to some extent. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, and show that our method can be combined with other distillation approaches, improving their performance.

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVM) sitting on the memory bus is employed to make persistent memory (PMem) in general-purpose computing systems and embedded systems for data storage. Researchers develop software drivers such as the block translation table (BTT) to build block devices on PMem, so programmers can keep using mature and reliable conventional storage stack while expecting high performance by exploiting fast PMem. However, our quantitative study shows that BTT underutilizes PMem and yields inferior performance, due to the absence of the imperative in-device cache. We add a conventional I/O staging cache made of DRAM space to BTT. As DRAM and PMem have comparable access latency, I/O staging cache is likely to be fully filled over time. Continual cache evictions and fsyncs thus cause on-demand flushes with severe stalls, such that the I/O staging cache is concretely unappealing for PMem-based block devices. We accordingly propose an algorithm named Caiti with novel I/O transit caching. Caiti eagerly evicts buffered data to PMem through CPU's multi-cores. It also conditionally bypasses a full cache and directly writes data into PMem to further alleviate I/O stalls. Experiments confirm that Caiti significantly boosts the performance with BTT by up to 3.6x, without loss of block-level write atomicity., Comment: Accepted by the Journal of Systems Architecture: Embedded Software Design (JSA)

In digital pathology, precise nuclei segmentation is pivotal yet challenged by the diversity of tissue types, staining protocols, and imaging conditions. Recently, the segment anything model (SAM) revealed overwhelming performance in natural scenarios and impressive adaptation to medical imaging. Despite these advantages, the reliance of labor-intensive manual annotation as segmentation prompts severely hinders their clinical applicability, especially for nuclei image analysis containing massive cells where dense manual prompts are impractical. To overcome the limitations of current SAM methods while retaining the advantages, we propose the Universal prompt-free SAM framework for Nuclei segmentation (UN-SAM), by providing a fully automated solution with remarkable generalization capabilities. Specifically, to eliminate the labor-intensive requirement of per-nuclei annotations for prompt, we devise a multi-scale Self-Prompt Generation (SPGen) module to revolutionize clinical workflow by automatically generating high-quality mask hints to guide the segmentation tasks. Moreover, to unleash the generalization capability of SAM across a variety of nuclei images, we devise a Domain-adaptive Tuning Encoder (DT-Encoder) to seamlessly harmonize visual features with domain-common and domain-specific knowledge, and further devise a Domain Query-enhanced Decoder (DQ-Decoder) by leveraging learnable domain queries for segmentation decoding in different nuclei domains. Extensive experiments prove that UN-SAM with exceptional performance surpasses state-of-the-arts in nuclei instance and semantic segmentation, especially the generalization capability in zero-shot scenarios.

Learning a human-like driving policy from large-scale driving demonstrations is promising, but the uncertainty and non-deterministic nature of planning make it challenging. In this work, to cope with the uncertainty problem, we propose VADv2, an end-to-end driving model based on probabilistic planning. VADv2 takes multi-view image sequences as input in a streaming manner, transforms sensor data into environmental token embeddings, outputs the probabilistic distribution of action, and samples one action to control the vehicle. Only with camera sensors, VADv2 achieves state-of-the-art closed-loop performance on the CARLA Town05 benchmark, significantly outperforming all existing methods. It runs stably in a fully end-to-end manner, even without the rule-based wrapper. Closed-loop demos are presented at https://hgao-cv.github.io/VADv2., Comment: Project Page: https://hgao-cv.github.io/VADv2

Data-driven predictive control promises model-free wave-dampening strategies for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) in mixed traffic flow. However, its performance relies on data quality, which suffers from unknown noise and disturbances.This paper introduces a Robust Data-EnablEd Predictive Leading Cruise Control (RDeeP-LCC) method based on reachability analysis, aiming to achieve safe and optimal CAV control under bounded process noise and external disturbances. Precisely, the matrix zonotope set technique and Willems' Fundamental Lemma are employed to derive the over-approximated system dynamics directly from data, and a data-driven feedback control technique is utilized to obtain an additional feedback input for stability. We decouple the mixed platoon into an error system and a nominal system, where the error system provides data-driven reachability sets for the enhanced safety constraints in the nominal system. Finally, a data-driven predictive control framework is formulated in a tube-based control manner for robustness guarantees. Nonlinear simulations with noise-corrupted data demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms baseline methods in mitigating traffic waves., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures

Speech enhancement is widely used as a front-end to improve the speech quality in many audio systems, while it is hard to extract the target speech in multi-talker conditions without prior information on the speaker identity. It was shown that the auditory attention on the target speaker can be decoded from the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the listener implicitly. In this work, we therefore propose a novel end-to-end brain-assisted speech enhancement network (BASEN), which incorporates the listeners' EEG signals and adopts a temporal convolutional network together with a convolutional multi-layer cross attention module to fuse EEG-audio features. Considering that an EEG cap with sparse channels exhibits multiple benefits and in practice many electrodes might contribute marginally, we further propose two channel selection methods, called residual Gumbel selection and convolutional regularization selection. They are dedicated to tackling training instability and duplicated channel selections, respectively. Experimental results on a public dataset show the superiority of the proposed BASEN over existing approaches. The proposed channel selection methods can significantly reduce the amount of informative EEG channels with a negligible impact on the performance., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2305.09994

This article is devoted to addressing the cloud control of connected vehicles, specifically focusing on analyzing the effect of bi-directional communication-induced delays. To mitigate the adverse effects of such delays, a novel predictor-observer structured controller is proposed which compensate for both measurable output delays and unmeasurable, yet bounded, input delays simultaneously. The study begins by novelly constructing an equivalent delay-free inter-connected system model that incorporates the Predictor-Observer controller, considering certain delay boundaries and model uncertainties. Subsequently, a stability analysis is conducted to assess the system's robustness under these conditions. Next, the connected vehicle lateral control scenario is built which contain high-fidelity vehicle dynamic model. The results demonstrate the controller's ability to accurately predict the system states, even under time-varying bi-directional delays. Finally, the proposed method is deployed in a real connected vehicle lateral control system. Comparative tests with a conventional linear feedback controller showcase significantly improved control performance under dominant bi-directional delay conditions, affirming the superiority of the proposed method against the delay.

The emergence of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) promises smoother traffic flow. In mixed traffic where human-driven vehicles (HDVs) also exist, existing research mostly focuses on "looking ahead" (i.e., the CAVs receive information from preceding vehicles) strategies for CAVs, while recent work reveals that "looking behind" (i.e., the CAVs receive information from their rear vehicles) strategies might provide more possibilities for CAV longitudinal control. This paper presents a comparative study between these two types of information flow topology (IFT) from the string stability perspective, with the role of maximum platoon size (MPS) also under investigation. Precisely, we provide a dynamical modeling framework for the mixed platoon under the multi-predecessor-following (MPF) topology and the multi-successor-leading (MSL) topology. Then, a unified method for string stability analysis is presented, with explicit consideration of both IFT and MPS. Numerical results suggest that MSL ("looking behind") outperforms MPF ("looking ahead" ) in mitigating traffic perturbations. In addition, increasing MPS could further improve string stability of mixed traffic flow., Comment: This paper has been accepted by 26th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems ITSC 2023

Image segmentation plays an essential role in nuclei image analysis. Recently, the segment anything model has made a significant breakthrough in such tasks. However, the current model exists two major issues for cell segmentation: (1) the image encoder of the segment anything model involves a large number of parameters. Retraining or even fine-tuning the model still requires expensive computational resources. (2) in point prompt mode, points are sampled from the center of the ground truth and more than one set of points is expected to achieve reliable performance, which is not efficient for practical applications. In this paper, a single-point prompt network is proposed for nuclei image segmentation, called SPPNet. We replace the original image encoder with a lightweight vision transformer. Also, an effective convolutional block is added in parallel to extract the low-level semantic information from the image and compensate for the performance degradation due to the small image encoder. We propose a new point-sampling method based on the Gaussian kernel. The proposed model is evaluated on the MoNuSeg-2018 dataset. The result demonstrated that SPPNet outperforms existing U-shape architectures and shows faster convergence in training. Compared to the segment anything model, SPPNet shows roughly 20 times faster inference, with 1/70 parameters and computational cost. Particularly, only one set of points is required in both the training and inference phases, which is more reasonable for clinical applications. The code for our work and more technical details can be found at https://github.com/xq141839/SPPNet.

For many real-world time series tasks, the computational complexity of prevalent deep leaning models often hinders the deployment on resource-limited environments (e.g., smartphones). Moreover, due to the inevitable domain shift between model training (source) and deploying (target) stages, compressing those deep models under cross-domain scenarios becomes more challenging. Although some of existing works have already explored cross-domain knowledge distillation for model compression, they are either biased to source data or heavily tangled between source and target data. To this end, we design a novel end-to-end framework called Universal and joint knowledge distillation (UNI-KD) for cross-domain model compression. In particular, we propose to transfer both the universal feature-level knowledge across source and target domains and the joint logit-level knowledge shared by both domains from the teacher to the student model via an adversarial learning scheme. More specifically, a feature-domain discriminator is employed to align teacher's and student's representations for universal knowledge transfer. A data-domain discriminator is utilized to prioritize the domain-shared samples for joint knowledge transfer. Extensive experimental results on four time series datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over state-of-the-art (SOTA) benchmarks., Comment: Accepted by IJCAI 2023

Chest radiographs are the most commonly performed radiological examinations for lesion detection. Recent advances in deep learning have led to encouraging results in various thoracic disease detection tasks. Particularly, the architecture with feature pyramid network performs the ability to recognise targets with different sizes. However, such networks are difficult to focus on lesion regions in chest X-rays due to their high resemblance in vision. In this paper, we propose a dual attention supervised module for multi-label lesion detection in chest radiographs, named DualAttNet. It efficiently fuses global and local lesion classification information based on an image-level attention block and a fine-grained disease attention algorithm. A binary cross entropy loss function is used to calculate the difference between the attention map and ground truth at image level. The generated gradient flow is leveraged to refine pyramid representations and highlight lesion-related features. We evaluate the proposed model on VinDr-CXR, ChestX-ray8 and COVID-19 datasets. The experimental results show that DualAttNet surpasses baselines by 0.6% to 2.7% mAP and 1.4% to 4.7% AP50 with different detection architectures. The code for our work and more technical details can be found at https://github.com/xq141839/DualAttNet.

The deep learning, which is a dominating technique in artificial intelligence, has completely changed the image understanding over the past decade.

In empathetic conversations, individuals express their empathy towards others. Previous work has mainly focused on generating empathetic responses by utilizing the speaker's emotion. Besides, external commonsense knowledge has been applied to enhance the system's understandings of the speaker's situation. However, given an event, commonsense knowledge base contains various relations, potentially leading to confusion for the dialogue system. Consequently, inconsistencies arise among the emotion, generated response and speaker's contextual information. To this end, we propose a novel approach for empathetic response generation, which incorporates an adaptive module for commonsense knowledge selection to ensure consistency between the generated empathetic responses and the speaker's situation. This selected knowledge is used to refine the commonsense cognition and empathy expression for generated responses. Experimental results show that our approach significantly outperforms baseline models in both automatic and human evaluations, exhibiting the generation of more coherent and empathetic responses. Moreover, case studies highlight the interpretability of knowledge selection in the responses and the effectiveness of adaptive module in our model.

Time-domain single-channel speech enhancement (SE) still remains challenging to extract the target speaker without any prior information on multi-talker conditions. It has been shown via auditory attention decoding that the brain activity of the listener contains the auditory information of the attended speaker. In this paper, we thus propose a novel time-domain brain-assisted SE network (BASEN) incorporating electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded from the listener for extracting the target speaker from monaural speech mixtures. The proposed BASEN is based on the fully-convolutional time-domain audio separation network. In order to fully leverage the complementary information contained in the EEG signals, we further propose a convolutional multi-layer cross attention module to fuse the dual-branch features. Experimental results on a public dataset show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art method in several evaluation metrics.

A road is the skeleton of a city and is a fundamental and important geographical component. Currently, many countries have built geo-information databases and gathered large amounts of geographic data. However, with the extensive construction of infrastructure and rapid expansion of cities, automatic updating of road data is imperative to maintain the high quality of current basic geographic information. However, obtaining bi-phase images for the same area is difficult, and complex post-processing methods are required to update the existing databases.To solve these problems, we proposed a road detection method based on semi-supervised learning (SRUNet) specifically for road-updating applications; in this approach, historical road information was fused with the latest images to directly obtain the latest state of the road.Considering that the texture of a road is complex, a multi-branch network, named the Map Encoding Branch (MEB) was proposed for representation learning, where the Boundary Enhancement Module (BEM) was used to improve the accuracy of boundary prediction, and the Residual Refinement Module (RRM) was used to optimize the prediction results. Further, to fully utilize the limited amount of label information and to enhance the prediction accuracy on unlabeled images, we utilized the mean teacher framework as the basic semi-supervised learning framework and introduced Regional Contrast (ReCo) in our work to improve the model capacity for distinguishing between the characteristics of roads and background elements.We applied our method to two datasets. Our model can effectively improve the performance of a model with fewer labels. Overall, the proposed SRUNet can provide stable, up-to-date, and reliable prediction results for a wide range of road renewal tasks., Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures
