An Order-Complexity Aesthetic Assessment Model for Aesthetic-aware Music Recommendation

Computational aesthetic evaluation has made remarkable contribution to visual art works, but its application to music is still rare. Currently, subjective evaluation is still the most effective form of evaluating artistic works. However, subjective evaluation of artistic works will consume a lot of human and material resources. The popular AI generated content (AIGC) tasks nowadays have flooded all industries, and music is no exception. While compared to music produced by humans, AI generated music still sounds mechanical, monotonous, and lacks aesthetic appeal. Due to the lack of music datasets with rating annotations, we have to choose traditional aesthetic equations to objectively measure the beauty of music. In order to improve the quality of AI music generation and further guide computer music production, synthesis, recommendation and other tasks, we use Birkhoff's aesthetic measure to design a aesthetic model, objectively measuring the aesthetic beauty of music, and form a recommendation list according to the aesthetic feeling of music. Experiments show that our objective aesthetic model and recommendation method are effective.

Interpretable Online Log Analysis Using Large Language Models with Prompt Strategies

Automated log analysis is crucial in modern software-intensive systems for facilitating program comprehension throughout software maintenance and engineering life cycles. Existing methods perform tasks such as log parsing and log anomaly detection by providing a single prediction value without interpretation. However, given the increasing volume of system events, the limited interpretability of analysis results hinders analysts' comprehension of program status and their ability to take appropriate actions. Moreover, these methods require substantial in-domain training data, and their performance declines sharply (by up to 62.5%) in online scenarios involving unseen logs from new domains, a common occurrence due to rapid software updates. In this paper, we propose LogPrompt, a novel interpretable log analysis approach for online scenarios. LogPrompt employs large language models (LLMs) to perform online log analysis tasks via a suite of advanced prompt strategies tailored for log tasks, which enhances LLMs' performance by up to 380.7% compared with simple prompts. Experiments on nine publicly available evaluation datasets across two tasks demonstrate that LogPrompt, despite requiring no in-domain training, outperforms existing approaches trained on thousands of logs by up to 55.9%. We also conduct a human evaluation of LogPrompt's interpretability, with six practitioners possessing over 10 years of experience, who highly rated the generated content in terms of usefulness and readability (averagely 4.42/5). LogPrompt also exhibits remarkable compatibility with open-source and smaller-scale LLMs, making it flexible for practical deployment. Code of LogPrompt is available at https://github.com/lunyiliu/LogPrompt.

Joint Resource Allocation and Trajectory Design for Resilient Multi-UAV Communication Networks

In contrast to terrestrial wireless networks, dynamic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks are susceptible to unexpected link failures arising from UAV breakdowns or the depletion of its batteries. Drastic user rate fluctuations and sum rate drops can occur due to the unexpected UAV link failures. Previous research has focused primarily on re-establishing these links to maintain service continuity, while neglecting overall system performance, including sum rate and user rate fluctuations. This letter proposes a resilient UAV network design utilizing the modern portfolio theory (MPT), which jointly optimizes the bandwidth allocation, UAV-user association, and UAV trajectories to enhance the overall service stability. Specifically, the design incorporates a novel utility function based on MPT to achieve a better balance between the sum rate and user rate fluctuations. To solve the joint optimization problem, we propose an iterative algorithm based on alternating optimization (AO) and successive convex approximation (SCA). Simulation results show that our scheme outperforms the other two baselines in terms of sum rate and user rate fluctuations. Furthermore, the resilience requirement in terms of sum rate, user rate fluctuations and user fairness can be achieved by flexibly tuning weight factor in our proposed algorithm.

A Comprehensive End-to-End Computer Vision Framework for Restoration and Recognition of Low-Quality Engineering Drawings

The digitization of engineering drawings is crucial for efficient reuse, distribution, and archiving. Existing computer vision approaches for digitizing engineering drawings typically assume the input drawings have high quality. However, in reality, engineering drawings are often blurred and distorted due to improper scanning, storage, and transmission, which may jeopardize the effectiveness of existing approaches. This paper focuses on restoring and recognizing low-quality engineering drawings, where an end-to-end framework is proposed to improve the quality of the drawings and identify the graphical symbols on them. The framework uses K-means clustering to classify different engineering drawing patches into simple and complex texture patches based on their gray level co-occurrence matrix statistics. Computer vision operations and a modified Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) model are then used to improve the quality of the two types of patches, respectively. A modified Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) model is used to recognize the quality-enhanced graphical symbols. Additionally, a multi-stage task-driven collaborative learning strategy is proposed to train the modified ESRGAN and Faster R-CNN models to improve the resolution of engineering drawings in the direction that facilitates graphical symbol recognition, rather than human visual perception. A synthetic data generation method is also proposed to construct quality-degraded samples for training the framework. Experiments on real-world electrical diagrams show that the proposed framework achieves an accuracy of 98.98% and a recall of 99.33%, demonstrating its superiority over previous approaches. Moreover, the framework is integrated into a widely-used power system software application to showcase its practicality.

Vectorial adaptive optics for advanced imaging systems

Vectorial adaptive optics (V-AO) is a cutting-edge technique extending conventional AO into the vectorial domain encompassing both polarization and phase feedback correction for optical systems. However, previous V-AO approaches focus on point correction. In this letter, we extend this AO approach into the imaging domain. We show how V-AO can benefit an aberrated imaging system to enhance not only scalar imaging but also the quality of vectorial information. Two important criteria, vectorial precision and uniformity are put forward and used in practice to evaluate the performance of the correction. These experimental validations pave the way for real-world imaging for V-AO technology and its applications.

AdapINT: A Flexible and Adaptive In-Band Network Telemetry System Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

In-band Network Telemetry (INT) has emerged as a promising network measurement technology. However, existing network telemetry systems lack the flexibility to meet diverse telemetry requirements and are also difficult to adapt to dynamic network environments. In this paper, we propose AdapINT, a versatile and adaptive in-band network telemetry framework assisted by dual-timescale probes, including long-period auxiliary probes (APs) and short-period dynamic probes (DPs). Technically, the APs collect basic network status information, which is used for the path planning of DPs. To achieve full network coverage, we propose an auxiliary probes path deployment (APPD) algorithm based on the Depth-First-Search (DFS). The DPs collect specific network information for telemetry tasks. To ensure that the DPs can meet diverse telemetry requirements and adapt to dynamic network environments, we apply the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) technique and transfer learning method to design the dynamic probes path deployment (DPPD) algorithm. The evaluation results show that AdapINT can redesign the telemetry system according to telemetry requirements and network environments. AdapINT can reduce telemetry latency by 75\% in online games and video conferencing scenarios. For overhead-aware networks, AdapINT can reduce control overheads by 34\% in cloud computing services.

Extracting Physical Causality from Measurements to Detect and Localize False Data Injection Attacks

False Data Injection Attack (FDIA) has become a growing concern in modern cyber-physical power systems. Most existing FDIA detection techniques project the raw measurement data into a high-dimensional latent space to separate normal and attacked samples. These approaches focus more on the statistical correlations of data values and are therefore susceptible to data distribution drifts induced by changes in system operating points or changes in FDIA types and strengths, especially for FDIA localization tasks. Causal inference, on the other hand, extracts the causality behind the coordinated fluctuations of different measurements. The causality patterns are determined by fundamental physical laws such as Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Law. They are sensitive to the violation of physical laws caused by FDIA, but tend to remain stable with the drift of system operating points. Leveraging this advantage, this paper proposes a joint FDIA detection and localization framework based on causal inference and the Graph Attention Network (GAT) to identify the attacked system nodes. The proposed framework consists of two levels. The lower level uses the X-learner algorithm to estimate the causality strength between measurements and generate Measurement Causality Graphs (MCGs). The upper level then applies a GAT to identify the anomaly patterns in the MCGs. Since the extracted causality patterns are intrinsically related to the measurements, it is easier for the upper level to figure out the attacked nodes than the existing FDIA localization approaches. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated on the IEEE 39-bus system. Experimental results show that the causality-based FDIA detection and localization mechanism is highly interpretable and robust.

Decoupled Iterative Refinement Framework for Interacting Hands Reconstruction from a Single RGB Image

Reconstructing interacting hands from a single RGB image is a very challenging task. On the one hand, severe mutual occlusion and similar local appearance between two hands confuse the extraction of visual features, resulting in the misalignment of estimated hand meshes and the image. On the other hand, there are complex spatial relationship between interacting hands, which significantly increases the solution space of hand poses and increases the difficulty of network learning. In this paper, we propose a decoupled iterative refinement framework to achieve pixel-alignment hand reconstruction while efficiently modeling the spatial relationship between hands. Specifically, we define two feature spaces with different characteristics, namely 2D visual feature space and 3D joint feature space. First, we obtain joint-wise features from the visual feature map and utilize a graph convolution network and a transformer to perform intra- and inter-hand information interaction in the 3D joint feature space, respectively. Then, we project the joint features with global information back into the 2D visual feature space in an obfuscation-free manner and utilize the 2D convolution for pixel-wise enhancement. By performing multiple alternate enhancements in the two feature spaces, our method can achieve an accurate and robust reconstruction of interacting hands. Our method outperforms all existing two-hand reconstruction methods by a large margin on the InterHand2.6M dataset.

HaMuCo: Hand Pose Estimation via Multiview Collaborative Self-Supervised Learning

Recent advancements in 3D hand pose estimation have shown promising results, but its effectiveness has primarily relied on the availability of large-scale annotated datasets, the creation of which is a laborious and costly process. To alleviate the label-hungry limitation, we propose a self-supervised learning framework, HaMuCo, that learns a single-view hand pose estimator from multi-view pseudo 2D labels. However, one of the main challenges of self-supervised learning is the presence of noisy labels and the ``groupthink'' effect from multiple views. To overcome these issues, we introduce a cross-view interaction network that distills the single-view estimator by utilizing the cross-view correlated features and enforcing multi-view consistency to achieve collaborative learning. Both the single-view estimator and the cross-view interaction network are trained jointly in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments show that our method can achieve state-of-the-art performance on multi-view self-supervised hand pose estimation. Furthermore, the proposed cross-view interaction network can also be applied to hand pose estimation from multi-view input and outperforms previous methods under the same settings.

How Does Diffusion Influence Pretrained Language Models on Out-of-Distribution Data?

Transformer-based pretrained language models (PLMs) have achieved great success in modern NLP. An important advantage of PLMs is good out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness. Recently, diffusion models have attracted a lot of work to apply diffusion to PLMs. It remains under-explored how diffusion influences PLMs on OOD data. The core of diffusion models is a forward diffusion process which gradually applies Gaussian noise to inputs, and a reverse denoising process which removes noise. The noised input reconstruction is a fundamental ability of diffusion models. We directly analyze OOD robustness by measuring the reconstruction loss, including testing the abilities to reconstruct OOD data, and to detect OOD samples. Experiments are conducted by analyzing different training parameters and data statistical features on eight datasets. It shows that finetuning PLMs with diffusion degrades the reconstruction ability on OOD data. The comparison also shows that diffusion models can effectively detect OOD samples, achieving state-of-the-art performance in most of the datasets with an absolute accuracy improvement up to 18%. These results indicate that diffusion reduces OOD robustness of PLMs.

Adaptive DNN Surgery for Selfish Inference Acceleration with On-demand Edge Resource

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have significantly improved the accuracy of intelligent applications on mobile devices. DNN surgery, which partitions DNN processing between mobile devices and multi-access edge computing (MEC) servers, can enable real-time inference despite the computational limitations of mobile devices. However, DNN surgery faces a critical challenge: determining the optimal computing resource demand from the server and the corresponding partition strategy, while considering both inference latency and MEC server usage costs. This problem is compounded by two factors: (1) the finite computing capacity of the MEC server, which is shared among multiple devices, leading to inter-dependent demands, and (2) the shift in modern DNN architecture from chains to directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), which complicates potential solutions. In this paper, we introduce a novel Decentralized DNN Surgery (DDS) framework. We formulate the partition strategy as a min-cut and propose a resource allocation game to adaptively schedule the demands of mobile devices in an MEC environment. We prove the existence of a Nash Equilibrium (NE), and develop an iterative algorithm to efficiently reach the NE for each device. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that DDS can effectively handle varying MEC scenarios, achieving up to 1.25$\times$ acceleration compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm.

Universal adaptive optics for microscopy through embedded neural network control

The resolution and contrast of microscope imaging is often affected by aberrations introduced by imperfect optical systems and inhomogeneous refractive structures in specimens. Adaptive optics (AO) compensates these aberrations and restores diffraction limited performance. A wide range of AO solutions have been introduced, often tailored to a specific microscope type or application. Until now, a universal AO solution -- one that can be readily transferred between microscope modalities -- has not been deployed. We propose versatile and fast aberration correction using a physics-based machine learning (ML) assisted wavefront-sensorless AO control method. Unlike previous ML methods, we used a bespoke neural network (NN) architecture, designed using physical understanding of image formation, that was embedded in the control loop of the microscope. The approach means that not only is the resulting NN orders of magnitude simpler than previous NN methods, but the concept is translatable across microscope modalities. We demonstrated the method on a two-photon, a three-photon and a widefield three-dimensional (3D) structured illumination microscope. Results showed that the method outperformed commonly-used modal-based sensorless AO methods. We also showed that our ML-based method was robust in a range of challenging imaging conditions, such as extended 3D sample structures, specimen motion, low signal to noise ratio and activity-induced fluorescence fluctuations. Moreover, as the bespoke architecture encapsulated physical understanding of the imaging process, the internal NN configuration was no-longer a ``black box'', but provided physical insights on internal workings, which could influence future designs.

Automatic Generation of Topology Diagrams for Strongly-Meshed Power Transmission Systems

Topology diagrams are widely seen in power system applications, but their automatic generation is often easier said than done. When facing power transmission systems with strongly-meshed structures, existing approaches can hardly produce topology diagrams catering to the aesthetics of readers. This paper proposes an integrated framework for generating aesthetically-pleasing topology diagrams for power transmission systems. Input with a rough layout, the framework first conducts visibility region analysis to reduce line crossings and then solves a mixed-integer linear programming problem to optimize the arrangement of nodes. Given that the complexity of both modules is pretty high, simplification heuristics are also proposed to enhance the efficiency of the framework. Case studies on several power transmission systems containing up to 2,046 nodes demonstrate the capability of the proposed framework in generating topology diagrams conforming to aesthetic criteria in the power system community. Compared with the widespread force-directed algorithm, the proposed framework can preserve the relative positions of nodes in the original layout to a great extent, which significantly contributes to the identification of electrical elements on the diagrams. Meanwhile, the time consumption is acceptable for practical applications.

Full Poincaré polarimetry enabled through physical inference

While polarisation sensing is vital in many areas of research, with applications spanning from microscopy to aerospace, traditional approaches are limited by method-related error amplification or accumulation, placing fundamental limitations on precision and accuracy in single-shot polarimetry. Here, we put forward a new measurement paradigm to circumvent this, introducing the notion of a universal full Poincaré generator to map all polarisation analyser states into a single vectorially structured light field, allowing all vector components to be analysed in a single-shot with theoretically user-defined precision. To demonstrate the advantage of our approach, we use a common GRIN optic as our mapping device and show mean errors of <1% for each vector component, enhancing the sensitivity by around three times, allowing us to sense weak polarisation aberrations not measurable by traditional single-shot techniques. Our work paves the way for next-generation polarimetry, impacting a wide variety of applications relying on weak vector measurement.

Approximation of Images via Generalized Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition over Finite-dimensional Commutative Semisimple Algebra

Low-rank approximation of images via singular value decomposition is well-received in the era of big data. However, singular value decomposition (SVD) is only for order-two data, i.e., matrices. It is necessary to flatten a higher order input into a matrix or break it into a series of order-two slices to tackle higher order data such as multispectral images and videos with the SVD. Higher order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) extends the SVD and can approximate higher order data using sums of a few rank-one components. We consider the problem of generalizing HOSVD over a finite dimensional commutative algebra. This algebra, referred to as a t-algebra, generalizes the field of complex numbers. The elements of the algebra, called t-scalars, are fix-sized arrays of complex numbers. One can generalize matrices and tensors over t-scalars and then extend many canonical matrix and tensor algorithms, including HOSVD, to obtain higher-performance versions. The generalization of HOSVD is called THOSVD. Its performance of approximating multi-way data can be further improved by an alternating algorithm. THOSVD also unifies a wide range of principal component analysis algorithms. To exploit the potential of generalized algorithms using t-scalars for approximating images, we use a pixel neighborhood strategy to convert each pixel to "deeper-order" t-scalar. Experiments on publicly available images show that the generalized algorithm over t-scalars, namely THOSVD, compares favorably with its canonical counterparts.

Can Shuffling Video Benefit Temporal Bias Problem: A Novel Training Framework for Temporal Grounding

Temporal grounding aims to locate a target video moment that semantically corresponds to the given sentence query in an untrimmed video. However, recent works find that existing methods suffer a severe temporal bias problem. These methods do not reason the target moment locations based on the visual-textual semantic alignment but over-rely on the temporal biases of queries in training sets. To this end, this paper proposes a novel training framework for grounding models to use shuffled videos to address temporal bias problem without losing grounding accuracy. Our framework introduces two auxiliary tasks, cross-modal matching and temporal order discrimination, to promote the grounding model training. The cross-modal matching task leverages the content consistency between shuffled and original videos to force the grounding model to mine visual contents to semantically match queries. The temporal order discrimination task leverages the difference in temporal order to strengthen the understanding of long-term temporal contexts. Extensive experiments on Charades-STA and ActivityNet Captions demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for mitigating the reliance on temporal biases and strengthening the model's generalization ability against the different temporal distributions.

Revealing complex optical phenomena through vectorial metrics

Advances in vectorial polarisation-resolved imaging are bringing new capabilities to applications ranging from fundamental physics through to clinical diagnosis. Imaging polarimetry requires determination of the Mueller matrix (MM) at every point, providing a complete description of an object's vectorial properties. Despite forming a comprehensive representation, the MM does not usually provide easily-interpretable information about the object's internal structure. Certain simpler vectorial metrics are derived from subsets of the MM elements. These metrics permit extraction of signatures that provide direct indicators of hidden optical properties of complex systems, while featuring an intriguing asymmetry about what information can or cannot be inferred via these metrics. We harness such characteristics to reveal the spin-Hall effect of light, infer microscopic structure within laser-written photonic waveguides, and conduct rapid pathological diagnosis through analysis of healthy and cancerous tissue. This provides new insight for the broader usage of such asymmetric inferred vectorial information.

CAP-RAM: A Charge-Domain In-Memory Computing 6T-SRAM for Accurate and Precision-Programmable CNN Inference

A compact, accurate, and bitwidth-programmable in-memory computing (IMC) static random-access memory (SRAM) macro, named CAP-RAM, is presented for energy-efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) inference. It leverages a novel charge-domain multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) mechanism and circuitry to achieve superior linearity under process variations compared to conventional IMC designs. The adopted semi-parallel architecture efficiently stores filters from multiple CNN layers by sharing eight standard 6T SRAM cells with one charge-domain MAC circuit. Moreover, up to six levels of bit-width of weights with two encoding schemes and eight levels of input activations are supported. A 7-bit charge-injection SAR (ciSAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) getting rid of sample and hold (S&H) and input/reference buffers further improves the overall energy efficiency and throughput. A 65-nm prototype validates the excellent linearity and computing accuracy of CAP-RAM. A single 512x128 macro stores a complete pruned and quantized CNN model to achieve 98.8% inference accuracy on the MNIST data set and 89.0% on the CIFAR-10 data set, with a 573.4-giga operations per second (GOPS) peak throughput and a 49.4-tera operations per second (TOPS)/W energy efficiency.
