DAS-PMVC: A Framework for Partial Multi-View Clustering via Dual Alignment and Structure Enhancement

In recent years, multi-view clustering has attracted widespread research interest. However, due to limitations in data collection devices, data across different views often suffer from misalignment, leading to the partial view alignment problem (PVAP). To mitigate the impact of view asymmetry and irrelevant samples, this paper proposes a framework for partial multi-view clustering via dual alignment and structure enhancement (DAS-PMVC), which leverages view structure consistency and semantic relevance. Specifically, DAS-PMVC includes three parts: \textbf{anchor graph structure alignment}, where sample joint embedding representations with consistent latent space are derived from anchor point relationships for initial view alignment; \textbf{structure-enhanced feature learning}, where the model learns view structure information through pretraining and combines multi-view graph convolutional networks to further extract deep latent features from the aligned graph structure to improve the discriminative power of representations; and \textbf{a dual alignment strategy}, where initial alignment is performed through the anchor graph in the pretraining phase, and contrastive learning loss and the Hungarian algorithm are introduced in the training phase to further optimize the alignment of latent features. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate that the DAS-PMVC framework outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in clustering performance, showcasing its effectiveness and superiority.

Multitask frame-level learning for few-shot sound event detection

This paper focuses on few-shot Sound Event Detection (SED), which aims to automatically recognize and classify sound events with limited samples. However, prevailing methods methods in few-shot SED predominantly rely on segment-level predictions, which often providing detailed, fine-grained predictions, particularly for events of brief duration. Although frame-level prediction strategies have been proposed to overcome these limitations, these strategies commonly face difficulties with prediction truncation caused by background noise. To alleviate this issue, we introduces an innovative multitask frame-level SED framework. In addition, we introduce TimeFilterAug, a linear timing mask for data augmentation, to increase the model's robustness and adaptability to diverse acoustic environments. The proposed method achieves a F-score of 63.8%, securing the 1st rank in the few-shot bioacoustic event detection category of the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events Challenge 2023.

3D Dense Separated Convolution Module for Volumetric Image Analysis

With the thriving of deep learning, 3D Convolutional Neural Networks have become a popular choice in volumetric image analysis due to their impressive 3D contexts mining ability. However, the 3D convolutional kernels will introduce a significant increase in the amount of trainable parameters. Considering the training data is often limited in biomedical tasks, a tradeoff has to be made between model size and its representational power. To address this concern, in this paper, we propose a novel 3D Dense Separated Convolution (3D-DSC) module to replace the original 3D convolutional kernels. The 3D-DSC module is constructed by a series of densely connected 1D filters. The decomposition of 3D kernel into 1D filters reduces the risk of over-fitting by removing the redundancy of 3D kernels in a topologically constrained manner, while providing the infrastructure for deepening the network. By further introducing nonlinear layers and dense connections between 1D filters, the network's representational power can be significantly improved while maintaining a compact architecture. We demonstrate the superiority of 3D-DSC on volumetric image classification and segmentation, which are two challenging tasks often encountered in biomedical image computing.

Channel adversarial training for cross-channel text-independent speaker recognition

The conventional speaker recognition frameworks (e.g., the i-vector and CNN-based approach) have been successfully applied to various tasks when the channel of the enrolment dataset is similar to that of the test dataset. However, in real-world applications, mismatch always exists between these two datasets, which may severely deteriorate the recognition performance. Previously, a few channel compensation algorithms have been proposed, such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Probabilistic LDA. However, these methods always require the collections of different channels from a specific speaker, which is unrealistic to be satisfied in real scenarios. Inspired by domain adaptation, we propose a novel deep-learning based speaker recognition framework to learn the channel-invariant and speaker-discriminative speech representations via channel adversarial training. Specifically, we first employ a gradient reversal layer to remove variations across different channels. Then, the compressed information is projected into the same subspace by adversarial training. Experiments on test datasets with 54,133 speakers demonstrate that the proposed method is not only effective at alleviating the channel mismatch problem, but also outperforms state-of-the-art speaker recognition methods. Compared with the i-vector-based method and the CNN-based method, our proposed method achieves significant relative improvement of 44.7% and 22.6% respectively in terms of the Top1 recall.

Abstraction of Elementary Hybrid Systems by Variable Transformation

Elementary hybrid systems (EHSs) are those hybrid systems (HSs) containing elementary functions such as exp, ln, sin, cos, etc. EHSs are very common in practice, especially in safety-critical domains. Due to the non-polynomial expressions which lead to undecidable arithmetic, verification of EHSs is very hard. Existing approaches based on partition of state space or over-approximation of reachable sets suffer from state explosion or inflation of numerical errors. In this paper, we propose a symbolic abstraction approach that reduces EHSs to polynomial hybrid systems (PHSs), by replacing all non-polynomial terms with newly introduced variables. Thus the verification of EHSs is reduced to the one of PHSs, enabling us to apply all the well-established verification techniques and tools for PHSs to EHSs. In this way, it is possible to avoid the limitations of many existing methods. We illustrate the abstraction approach and its application in safety verification of EHSs by several real world examples.
