A Dynamic Toolkit for Transmission Characteristics of Precision Reducers with Explicit Contact Geometry

Precision reducers couple contact geometry, bearing support, structural deformation, and loading history. This paper presents a dynamic toolkit connecting distributed local contacts to the complete mechanical reaction path. Work-conjugate maps transfer displacement, reaction, and tangent contributions between contacts and rigid or reduced coordinates, with explicit allocation of contact and body elasticity. An implicit generalized-alpha solution distinguishes trial evaluations from accepted history. Contact records then support performance protocols and configured geometric or constitutive feedback. The numerical studies focus on mechanical coupling and pressure recovery. An idealized annular housing retains physical interfaces while its structural coordinates are reduced. Two reductions with similar static errors have cross-port response errors of 24.975 and 0.312 percent over the same frequency band relative to a common parent model. In a shared-pin example, a 20 micrometer radial displacement of one wheel changes the load on a second, fixed wheel by approximately 75 N. Removing cross-station compliance removes this incremental transfer on the tested sleeve-seating branch. A double-wheel cycloidal assembly relates torsional branch response to aggregate contact-load variation and normalized pressure fields. The pressure maxima remain sensitive to resolution despite small discrete force residuals. Further formulations specify how motion and contact records support precision, vibration, heat, wear, and durability models with their required inputs. The framework separates model representation and numerical resolution while retaining common definitions of motion, force, and observation.

Retinal OCT Synthesis with Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models for Layer Segmentation

Modern biomedical image analysis using deep learning often encounters the challenge of limited annotated data. To overcome this issue, deep generative models can be employed to synthesize realistic biomedical images. In this regard, we propose an image synthesis method that utilizes denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) to automatically generate retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. By providing rough layer sketches, the trained DDPMs can generate realistic circumpapillary OCT images. We further find that more accurate pseudo labels can be obtained through knowledge adaptation, which greatly benefits the segmentation task. Through this, we observe a consistent improvement in layer segmentation accuracy, which is validated using various neural networks. Furthermore, we have discovered that a layer segmentation model trained solely with synthesized images can achieve comparable results to a model trained exclusively with real images. These findings demonstrate the promising potential of DDPMs in reducing the need for manual annotations of retinal OCT images.

Social Context-aware GCN for Video Character Search via Scene-prior Enhancement

With the increasing demand for intelligent services of online video platforms, video character search task has attracted wide attention to support downstream applications like fine-grained retrieval and summarization. However, traditional solutions only focus on visual or coarse-grained social information and thus cannot perform well when facing complex scenes, such as changing camera view or character posture. Along this line, we leverage social information and scene context as prior knowledge to solve the problem of character search in complex scenes. Specifically, we propose a scene-prior-enhanced framework, named SoCoSearch. We first integrate multimodal clues for scene context to estimate the prior probability of social relationships, and then capture characters' co-occurrence to generate an enhanced social context graph. Afterwards, we design a social context-aware GCN framework to achieve feature passing between characters to obtain robust representation for the character search task. Extensive experiments have validated the effectiveness of SoCoSearch in various metrics.

Winning the CVPR'2022 AQTC Challenge: A Two-stage Function-centric Approach

Affordance-centric Question-driven Task Completion for Egocentric Assistant(AQTC) is a novel task which helps AI assistant learn from instructional videos and scripts and guide the user step-by-step. In this paper, we deal with the AQTC via a two-stage Function-centric approach, which consists of Question2Function Module to ground the question with the related function and Function2Answer Module to predict the action based on the historical steps. We evaluated several possible solutions in each module and obtained significant gains compared to the given baselines. Our code is available at \url{https://github.com/starsholic/LOVEU-CVPR22-AQTC}.

Clustering Bioactive Molecules in 3D Chemical Space with Unsupervised Deep Learning

Unsupervised clustering has broad applications in data stratification, pattern investigation and new discovery beyond existing knowledge. In particular, clustering of bioactive molecules facilitates chemical space mapping, structure-activity studies, and drug discovery. These tasks, conventionally conducted by similarity-based methods, are complicated by data complexity and diversity. We ex-plored the superior learning capability of deep autoencoders for unsupervised clustering of 1.39 mil-lion bioactive molecules into band-clusters in a 3-dimensional latent chemical space. These band-clusters, displayed by a space-navigation simulation software, band molecules of selected bioactivity classes into individual band-clusters possessing unique sets of common sub-structural features beyond structural similarity. These sub-structural features form the frameworks of the literature-reported pharmacophores and privileged fragments. Within each band-cluster, molecules are further banded into selected sub-regions with respect to their bioactivity target, sub-structural features and molecular scaffolds. Our method is potentially applicable for big data clustering tasks of different fields.
