NTIRE 2022 Challenge on Super-Resolution and Quality Enhancement of Compressed Video: Dataset, Methods and Results

This paper reviews the NTIRE 2022 Challenge on Super-Resolution and Quality Enhancement of Compressed Video. In this challenge, we proposed the LDV 2.0 dataset, which includes the LDV dataset (240 videos) and 95 additional videos. This challenge includes three tracks. Track 1 aims at enhancing the videos compressed by HEVC at a fixed QP. Track 2 and Track 3 target both the super-resolution and quality enhancement of HEVC compressed video. They require x2 and x4 super-resolution, respectively. The three tracks totally attract more than 600 registrations. In the test phase, 8 teams, 8 teams and 12 teams submitted the final results to Tracks 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The proposed methods and solutions gauge the state-of-the-art of super-resolution and quality enhancement of compressed video. The proposed LDV 2.0 dataset is available at https://github.com/RenYang-home/LDV_dataset. The homepage of this challenge (including open-sourced codes) is at https://github.com/RenYang-home/NTIRE22_VEnh_SR.

DualConv: Dual Convolutional Kernels for Lightweight Deep Neural Networks

CNN architectures are generally heavy on memory and computational requirements which makes them infeasible for embedded systems with limited hardware resources. We propose dual convolutional kernels (DualConv) for constructing lightweight deep neural networks. DualConv combines 3$\times$3 and 1$\times$1 convolutional kernels to process the same input feature map channels simultaneously and exploits the group convolution technique to efficiently arrange convolutional filters. DualConv can be employed in any CNN model such as VGG-16 and ResNet-50 for image classification, YOLO and R-CNN for object detection, or FCN for semantic segmentation. In this paper, we extensively test DualConv for classification since these network architectures form the backbones for many other tasks. We also test DualConv for image detection on YOLO-V3. Experimental results show that, combined with our structural innovations, DualConv significantly reduces the computational cost and number of parameters of deep neural networks while surprisingly achieving slightly higher accuracy than the original models in some cases. We use DualConv to further reduce the number of parameters of the lightweight MobileNetV2 by 54% with only 0.68% drop in accuracy on CIFAR-100 dataset. When the number of parameters is not an issue, DualConv increases the accuracy of MobileNetV1 by 4.11% on the same dataset. Furthermore, DualConv significantly improves the YOLO-V3 object detection speed and improves its accuracy by 4.4% on PASCAL VOC dataset.

Diaformer: Automatic Diagnosis via Symptoms Sequence Generation

Automatic diagnosis has attracted increasing attention but remains challenging due to multi-step reasoning. Recent works usually address it by reinforcement learning methods. However, these methods show low efficiency and require taskspecific reward functions. Considering the conversation between doctor and patient allows doctors to probe for symptoms and make diagnoses, the diagnosis process can be naturally seen as the generation of a sequence including symptoms and diagnoses. Inspired by this, we reformulate automatic diagnosis as a symptoms Sequence Generation (SG) task and propose a simple but effective automatic Diagnosis model based on Transformer (Diaformer). We firstly design the symptom attention framework to learn the generation of symptom inquiry and the disease diagnosis. To alleviate the discrepancy between sequential generation and disorder of implicit symptoms, we further design three orderless training mechanisms. Experiments on three public datasets show that our model outperforms baselines on disease diagnosis by 1%, 6% and 11.5% with the highest training efficiency. Detailed analysis on symptom inquiry prediction demonstrates that the potential of applying symptoms sequence generation for automatic diagnosis.

UniMoCo: Unsupervised, Semi-Supervised and Full-Supervised Visual Representation Learning

Momentum Contrast (MoCo) achieves great success for unsupervised visual representation. However, there are a lot of supervised and semi-supervised datasets, which are already labeled. To fully utilize the label annotations, we propose Unified Momentum Contrast (UniMoCo), which extends MoCo to support arbitrary ratios of labeled data and unlabeled data training. Compared with MoCo, UniMoCo has two modifications as follows: (1) Different from a single positive pair in MoCo, we maintain multiple positive pairs on-the-fly by comparing the query label to a label queue. (2) We propose a Unified Contrastive(UniCon) loss to support an arbitrary number of positives and negatives in a unified pair-wise optimization perspective. Our UniCon is more reasonable and powerful than the supervised contrastive loss in theory and practice. In our experiments, we pre-train multiple UniMoCo models with different ratios of ImageNet labels and evaluate the performance on various downstream tasks. Experiment results show that UniMoCo generalizes well for unsupervised, semi-supervised and supervised visual representation learning.
