Blind super-resolution (BSR) is entering a new era focused on diverse and complex applications, where the trade-off between generalization and performance prevents models from performing as they should. Model performance decreases when trained on multiple degraded images due to the inter-class and intra-class imbalances in degradation prediction, which consists of degradation sampling and estimation. The inter-class imbalance in degradation estimation causes inaccurate estimates, leading to severe artifacts in images. The intra-class imbalance in degradation sampling causes a long-tail problem, leading to model collapse and satisfactory results only in specific applications. To tackle these challenges, we propose adaptive alignment contrastive learning (AACL), which includes adaptive degradation sampling (ADS) and \(\sigma\)-alignment. ADS utilizes nonlinear sampling by weighting the parameters of the degradation process for training uniformly degraded images, avoiding the long-tail problem. \(\sigma\)-alignment controls the standard deviation among positive samples, we identify a subset with small degraded distance, which aids contrastive learning in extracting representations more effectively. We extend AACL to several CNN-based and Transformer-based methods by coming up with a 6\(\times\)6 fair architecture with degradation representation fusion block (DRFB) and degradation representation fusion group (DRFG). DRFB and DRFG are designed for degradation representation fusion and image reconstruction, respectively. We evaluate on 6 types of degradation, and the improvement experiments on synthesized images show that our method balances performance and generalization, and is applicable to networks with different architectures. The comparison experiments show that our improved methods achieve promising results compared to SOTA methods. Code is available at: https://***/para999/AACL.

The papers in this volume were the fruitful scientific results of the Second International Conference on Social Robotics (ICSR), held during November 23–24, 2010 in Singapore, which was jointly organized by the Social Robotics Laboratory (SRL), Interactive Digital media Institute (IDMI), the National University of Singapore and 2 Human Language technology Department, the Institute for Infocomm Research (I R), A*STAR, Singapore. These papers address a range of topics in social robotics and its applications. We received paper submissions from America, Asia, and Europe. All the papers were reviewed by at least three referees from the 32-member Program Committee who were assembled from the global community of social robotics researchers. This v- ume contains the 42 papers that were selected to report on the latest developments and studies of social robotics in the areas of human––robot interaction; affective and cognitive sciences for interactive robots; design philosophies and software archit- tures for robots; learning, adaptation and evolution of robotic intelligence; and mec- tronics and intelligent control.

The international multi-topic conference IMTIC 2008 was held in Pakistan during April 11–12, 2008. It was a joint venture between Mehran University, Jamshoro, Sindh and Aalborg University, Esbjerg, Denmark. Apart from the two-day main event, two workshops were also held: the Workshop on Creating Social Semantic Web 2.0 Information Spaces and the Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks. Two hundred participants registered for the main conference from 24 countries and 43 papers were presented; the two workshops had overwhelming support and over 400 delegates registered. IMTIC 2008 served as a platform for international scientists and the engineering community in general, and in particular for local scientists and the engineering c- munity to share and cooperate in various fields of interest. The topics presented had a reasonable balance between theory and practice in multidisciplinary topics. The c- ference also had excellent topics covered by the keynote speeches keeping in view the local requirements, which served as a stimulus for students as well as experienced participants. The Program Committee and various other committees were experts in their areas and each paper went through a double-blind peer review process. The c- ference received 135 submissions of which only 46 papers were selected for presen- tion: an acceptance rate of 34%.

After further review and discussions among the authors, we want to do further experiment to improve the existing premature results. Specifically, authors want to add more complex analysis to support the results. Given the importance of maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, we believe that withdrawal is the most appropriate course of action. All authors are fully aware of this decision and have agreed to the withdrawal. We have had several rounds of correspondence regarding this matter, and all authors have been included in these communications to ensure transparency and prevent any potential disputes in the future.

The integration of generative AI in visual art has revolutionized not only how visual content is created but also how AI interacts with and reflects the underlying domain knowledge. This survey explores the emerging realm of diffusion-based visual art creation, examining its development from both artistic and technical perspectives. We structure the survey into three phases, data feature and framework identification, detailed analyses using a structured coding process, and open-ended prospective outlooks. Our findings reveal how artistic requirements are transformed into technical challenges and highlight the design and application of diffusion-based methods within visual art creation. We also provide insights into future directions from technical and synergistic perspectives, suggesting that the confluence of generative AI and art has shifted the creative paradigm and opened up new possibilities. By summarizing the development and trends of this emerging interdisciplinary area, we aim to shed light on the mechanisms through which AI systems emulate and possibly, enhance human capacities in artistic perception and creativity.
