Dynamic Collaborative Path Planning for Remote Assistance of Highly-Automated Vehicles

Given its increasing popularity in recent years, teleoperation technology is now recognized as a robust fallback solution for Automated Driving (AD). Remote Assistance (RA) represents an event-driven class of teleoperation with a distinct division of tasks between the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) and the remote human operator. This paper presents a novel approach for RA of AVs in urban environments. The concept draws inspiration from the potential synergy between highly-automated systems and human operators to collaboratively solve complex driving situations. Utilizing a hybrid algorithm that makes use of the Operational Design Domain (ODD) modification idea, it considers actions that go beyond the nominal operational space. Combined with the advanced cognitive reasoning of the human remote operator, the concept offers features that hold the potential to significantly improve both RA and AD user experiences.
Large Language Models on the Chessboard: A Study on ChatGPT's Formal Language Comprehension and Complex Reasoning Skills

While large language models have made strides in natural language processing, their proficiency in complex reasoning tasks requiring formal language comprehension, such as chess, remains less investigated. This paper probes the performance of ChatGPT, a sophisticated language model by OpenAI in tackling such complex reasoning tasks, using chess as a case study. Through robust metrics examining both the legality and quality of moves, we assess ChatGPT's understanding of the chessboard, adherence to chess rules, and strategic decision-making abilities. Our evaluation identifies limitations within ChatGPT's attention mechanism that affect its formal language comprehension and uncovers the model's underdeveloped self-regulation abilities. Our study also reveals ChatGPT's propensity for a coherent strategy in its gameplay and a noticeable uptick in decision-making assertiveness when the model is presented with a greater volume of natural language or possesses a more lucid understanding of the state of the chessboard. These findings contribute to the growing exploration of language models' abilities beyond natural language processing, providing valuable information for future research towards models demonstrating human-like cognitive abilities.
TKwinFormer: Top k Window Attention in Vision Transformers for Feature Matching

Local feature matching remains a challenging task, primarily due to difficulties in matching sparse keypoints and low-texture regions. The key to solving this problem lies in effectively and accurately integrating global and local information. To achieve this goal, we introduce an innovative local feature matching method called TKwinFormer. Our approach employs a multi-stage matching strategy to optimize the efficiency of information interaction. Furthermore, we propose a novel attention mechanism called Top K Window Attention, which facilitates global information interaction through window tokens prior to patch-level matching, resulting in improved matching accuracy. Additionally, we design an attention block to enhance attention between channels. Experimental results demonstrate that TKwinFormer outperforms state-of-the-art methods on various benchmarks. Code is available at: https://github.com/LiaoYun0x0/TKwinFormer.
CLIPTrans: Transferring Visual Knowledge with Pre-trained Models for Multimodal Machine Translation

There has been a growing interest in developing multimodal machine translation (MMT) systems that enhance neural machine translation (NMT) with visual knowledge. This problem setup involves using images as auxiliary information during training, and more recently, eliminating their use during inference. Towards this end, previous works face a challenge in training powerful MMT models from scratch due to the scarcity of annotated multilingual vision-language data, especially for low-resource languages. Simultaneously, there has been an influx of multilingual pre-trained models for NMT and multimodal pre-trained models for vision-language tasks, primarily in English, which have shown exceptional generalisation ability. However, these are not directly applicable to MMT since they do not provide aligned multimodal multilingual features for generative tasks. To alleviate this issue, instead of designing complex modules for MMT, we propose CLIPTrans, which simply adapts the independently pre-trained multimodal M-CLIP and the multilingual mBART. In order to align their embedding spaces, mBART is conditioned on the M-CLIP features by a prefix sequence generated through a lightweight mapping network. We train this in a two-stage pipeline which warms up the model with image captioning before the actual translation task. Through experiments, we demonstrate the merits of this framework and consequently push forward the state-of-the-art across standard benchmarks by an average of +2.67 BLEU. The code can be found at www.github.com/devaansh100/CLIPTrans.
Classification-Aware Neural Topic Model Combined With Interpretable Analysis -- For Conflict Classification

A large number of conflict events are affecting the world all the time. In order to analyse such conflict events effectively, this paper presents a Classification-Aware Neural Topic Model (CANTM-IA) for Conflict Information Classification and Topic Discovery. The model provides a reliable interpretation of classification results and discovered topics by introducing interpretability analysis. At the same time, interpretation is introduced into the model architecture to improve the classification performance of the model and to allow interpretation to focus further on the details of the data. Finally, the model architecture is optimised to reduce the complexity of the model.
NOVIS: A Case for End-to-End Near-Online Video Instance Segmentation

Until recently, the Video Instance Segmentation (VIS) community operated under the common belief that offline methods are generally superior to a frame by frame online processing. However, the recent success of online methods questions this belief, in particular, for challenging and long video sequences. We understand this work as a rebuttal of those recent observations and an appeal to the community to focus on dedicated near-online VIS approaches. To support our argument, we present a detailed analysis on different processing paradigms and the new end-to-end trainable NOVIS (Near-Online Video Instance Segmentation) method. Our transformer-based model directly predicts spatio-temporal mask volumes for clips of frames and performs instance tracking between clips via overlap embeddings. NOVIS represents the first near-online VIS approach which avoids any handcrafted tracking heuristics. We outperform all existing VIS methods by large margins and provide new state-of-the-art results on both YouTube-VIS (2019/2021) and the OVIS benchmarks.
Multi-Response Heteroscedastic Gaussian Process Models and Their Inference

Despite the widespread utilization of Gaussian process models for versatile nonparametric modeling, they exhibit limitations in effectively capturing abrupt changes in function smoothness and accommodating relationships with heteroscedastic errors. Addressing these shortcomings, the heteroscedastic Gaussian process (HeGP) regression seeks to introduce flexibility by acknowledging the variability of residual variances across covariates in the regression model. In this work, we extend the HeGP concept, expanding its scope beyond regression tasks to encompass classification and state-space models. To achieve this, we propose a novel framework where the Gaussian process is coupled with a covariate-induced precision matrix process, adopting a mixture formulation. This approach enables the modeling of heteroscedastic covariance functions across covariates. To mitigate the computational challenges posed by sampling, we employ variational inference to approximate the posterior and facilitate posterior predictive modeling. Additionally, our training process leverages an EM algorithm featuring closed-form M-step updates to efficiently evaluate the heteroscedastic covariance function. A notable feature of our model is its consistent performance on multivariate responses, accommodating various types (continuous or categorical) seamlessly. Through a combination of simulations and real-world applications in climatology, we illustrate the model's prowess and advantages. By overcoming the limitations of traditional Gaussian process models, our proposed framework offers a robust and versatile tool for a wide array of applications.
When Do Program-of-Thoughts Work for Reasoning?

In the realm of embodied artificial intelligence, the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) play a pivotal role. Although there are effective methods like program-of-thought prompting for LLMs which uses programming language to tackle complex reasoning tasks, the specific impact of code data on the improvement of reasoning capabilities remains under-explored. To address this gap, we propose complexity-impacted reasoning score (CIRS), which combines structural and logical attributes, to measure the correlation between code and reasoning abilities. Specifically, we use the abstract syntax tree to encode the structural information and calculate logical complexity by considering the difficulty and the cyclomatic complexity. Through an empirical analysis, we find not all code data of complexity can be learned or understood by LLMs. Optimal level of complexity is critical to the improvement of reasoning abilities by program-aided prompting. Then we design an auto-synthesizing and stratifying algorithm, and apply it to instruction generation for mathematical reasoning and code data filtering for code generation tasks. Extensive results demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed approach. Code will be integrated into the EasyInstruct framework at https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyInstruct.
Existence of Pauli-like stabilizers for every quantum error-correcting code

The Pauli stabilizer formalism is perhaps the most thoroughly studied means of procuring quantum error-correcting codes, whereby the code is obtained through commutative Pauli operators and ``stabilized'' by them. In this work we will show that every quantum error-correcting code, including Pauli stabilizer codes and subsystem codes, has a similar structure, in that the code can be stabilized by commutative ``Paulian'' operators which share many features with Pauli operators and which form a \textbf{Paulian stabilizer group}. By facilitating a controlled gate we can measure these Paulian operators to acquire the error syndrome. Examples concerning codeword stabilized codes and bosonic codes will be presented; specifically, one of the examples has been demonstrated experimentally and the observable for detecting the error turns out to be Paulian, thereby showing the potential utility of this approach. This work provides a possible approach to implement error-correcting codes and to find new codes.
Complementing Onboard Sensors with Satellite Map: A New Perspective for HD Map Construction

High-definition (HD) maps play a crucial role in autonomous driving systems. Recent methods have attempted to construct HD maps in real-time using vehicle onboard sensors. Due to the inherent limitations of onboard sensors, which include sensitivity to detection range and susceptibility to occlusion by nearby vehicles, the performance of these methods significantly declines in complex scenarios and long-range detection tasks. In this paper, we explore a new perspective that boosts HD map construction through the use of satellite maps to complement onboard sensors. We initially generate the satellite map tiles for each sample in nuScenes and release a complementary dataset for further research. To enable better integration of satellite maps with existing methods, we propose a hierarchical fusion module, which includes feature-level fusion and BEV-level fusion. The feature-level fusion, composed of a mask generator and a masked cross-attention mechanism, is used to refine the features from onboard sensors. The BEV-level fusion mitigates the coordinate differences between features obtained from onboard sensors and satellite maps through an alignment module. The experimental results on the augmented nuScenes showcase the seamless integration of our module into three existing HD map construction methods. The satellite maps and our proposed module notably enhance their performance in both HD map semantic segmentation and instance detection tasks.
3D Adversarial Augmentations for Robust Out-of-Domain Predictions

Since real-world training datasets cannot properly sample the long tail of the underlying data distribution, corner cases and rare out-of-domain samples can severely hinder the performance of state-of-the-art models. This problem becomes even more severe for dense tasks, such as 3D semantic segmentation, where points of non-standard objects can be confidently associated to the wrong class. In this work, we focus on improving the generalization to out-of-domain data. We achieve this by augmenting the training set with adversarial examples. First, we learn a set of vectors that deform the objects in an adversarial fashion. To prevent the adversarial examples from being too far from the existing data distribution, we preserve their plausibility through a series of constraints, ensuring sensor-awareness and shapes smoothness. Then, we perform adversarial augmentation by applying the learned sample-independent vectors to the available objects when training a model. We conduct extensive experiments across a variety of scenarios on data from KITTI, Waymo, and CrashD for 3D object detection, and on data from SemanticKITTI, Waymo, and nuScenes for 3D semantic segmentation. Despite training on a standard single dataset, our approach substantially improves the robustness and generalization of both 3D object detection and 3D semantic segmentation methods to out-of-domain data.
Breaking the Bank with ChatGPT: Few-Shot Text Classification for Finance

We propose the use of conversational GPT models for easy and quick few-shot text classification in the financial domain using the Banking77 dataset. Our approach involves in-context learning with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, which minimizes the technical expertise required and eliminates the need for expensive GPU computing while yielding quick and accurate results. Additionally, we fine-tune other pre-trained, masked language models with SetFit, a recent contrastive learning technique, to achieve state-of-the-art results both in full-data and few-shot settings. Our findings show that querying GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can outperform fine-tuned, non-generative models even with fewer examples. However, subscription fees associated with these solutions may be considered costly for small organizations. Lastly, we find that generative models perform better on the given task when shown representative samples selected by a human expert rather than when shown random ones. We conclude that a) our proposed methods offer a practical solution for few-shot tasks in datasets with limited label availability, and b) our state-of-the-art results can inspire future work in the area.
Sequential and Correlated Image Hash Code Generation with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Image hashing is an algorithm used to represent an image with a unique value. Hashing methods, which are generally developed to search for similar examples of an image, have gained a new dimension with the use of deep network structures and better results have started to be obtained with the methods. The developed deep network models generally consider hash functions independently and do not take into account the correlation between them. In addition, most of the existing data-dependent hashing methods use pairwise/triplet similarity metrics that capture data relationships from a local perspective. In this study, the Central similarity metric, which can achieve better results, is adapted to the deep reinforcement learning method with sequential learning strategy, and successful results are obtained in learning binary hash codes. By taking into account the errors of previous hash functions in the deep reinforcement learning strategy, a new model is presented that performs interrelated and central similarity based learning.
Menumbuhkan Budaya Gemar Membaca Didalam Mewujudkan Prestasi Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Teachers as educators should set a good example for students in a culture of fond of reading. Apart from teachers, parents also have a very important role in cultivating a culture of liking to read, because the most time students have is the time when they are with their parents at home. The environment also influences the growth of a reading culture. We can see this when students are not at school, so it cannot be denied that students spend more time watching TV, playing gadgets and students use it to chat with various applications. It is necessary to instill in students a culture of liking to read and awareness of the benefits of reading with this in mind that students realize that reading can improve student achievement. The problem solving process is carried out in the PKL 1 mini project activities using the casework method, through the general intervention stage which consists of: Engagement, Intake, Contract, Assessment, Planning, Intervention, Evaluation and Termination. What is the focus of the client's problem solving process is the lack of a culture of fond of reading books. This is because the client lacks the desire to read books. The objectives of the program have been achieved, as evidenced by the client always repeating at home the subjects taught at his school. The client always answers the questions given by the teacher correctly.
Human Perceptions Based on Translations of Recurrent Neural Networks Principles for Low Latency Applications

The Necessity of Human resources beyond perception of human understanding towards the Evaluation of video quality or Data screening methodology is conducted based on human perception level since it is concerned with how visual content is perceived by a observer based on observations with his/ her perception on a particular video sequence. Therefore, we considered that the subject has to grade the encoded video sequences under certain test environment conditions based on ITU-Recommendations. Since Human perception is considered as the true judgment and precise measurement of visual content, data screening has became quite essential and quite comfortable to general public due to introduction of User Experience (UX) concept by User Experience community. User Experience is an concept based on translations of A recurrent neural network which is mostly used algorithm based on certain principles, for instance we considered natural language processing and moreover recurrent neural networks is adaptable towards understanding sequential data and use patterns to predict the consistency within observers by invited subjects for quality assessment. In our research, we adapted principles based on Recurrent Neural Networks while assuming consistency within observers for predicting video quality within data screening environment towards subjective experiments. Moreover, this research work explores the tradeoffs between Human perception on visual content and consistency of observations within individual observer.
Ship Roll Prediction and Parameter Identification under Unknown Ocean Disturbances

This paper investigates the roll parameter estimation of periodic disturbances where the amplitude, frequency, offset, and phase are hardly recognized in real practice. The key problem is to make an estimation that could eliminate the unknown disturbance parameters. An adaptive mechanism applies these four parameters to the globally exponential convergence using linear second-order filters and parameter estimation errors. Then, a backstepping controller is employed to make an exponential convergence to zero of the state variables. Moreover, reservoir computing is used to forecast chaotic roll motions to support predictability using Lyapunov exponents and the Poincaré map. Numerical simulations are demonstrated to validate the dynamical behaviors and efficacy of the proposed control scheme with machine learning.

Classification of Secondary School Destination for Inclusive Students using Decision Tree Algorithm

Inclusive student education has become one of the most important agendas of UNESCO and the Indonesian government. Developing an inclusive education for children is critical to adapt to their abilities while attending school. However, most parents and educators who help students select their future secondary school after finishing primary school are often unaware of their real potential. The problem is mainly because the decision is not based on objective assessments such as IQ, average, and mental scores. In this study, our objective is to create a school-type decision support system using data mining as a factor-analytic approach to extract rules for the knowledge model. The system uses some variables as the basic principles for building school-type classification rules using the ID3 decision tree method. This system can also assist educators in making decisions based on existing graduate data. The evaluation showed that the proposed system produced an accuracy of 90% by allocating 75% of the data for training and 25% for testing. The accuracy value from the evaluation phase stated that the ID3 decision tree algorithm performs well. This system can also dynamically create new decision trees based on newly added datasets. More research is expected to result in a more variable and dynamic system that can have a more accurate result for the inclusive student classification of secondary school.
