Image-to-Image synthesis paradigms have been widely used for facial expression synthesis. However, current generators are apt to either produce artifacts for largely posed and non-aligned faces or unduly change the identity information like AdaIN-based generator. In this work, we suggest to use image style feature to surrogate the expression cues in the generator, and propose a multi-task learning paradigm to explore this style information via the supervision learning and feature disentanglement. While the supervision learning can make the encoded style specifically represent the expression cues and enable the generator to produce correct expression, the feature disentanglement of content and style cues enables the generator to better preserve the identity information in expression synthesis. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can well reduce the artifacts for the synthesis of posed and non-aligned expressions, and achieves competitive performances in terms of FID, PNSR and classification accuracy, compared with four publicly available GANs.

In the domain of Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC), this paper addresses the complex problem of Service Function Chain (SFC) placement, which is crucial for the efficient deployment of cloud applications in vehicular environments. Our approach leverages Virtual Network Function (VNF) technology, transitioning network services from traditional hardware to more flexible, container-based edge computing frameworks. The primary objective is to organize these VNFs into functional SFCs, thereby minimizing service delays in VEC systems. SFC placement faces two significant challenges. The first is the sequential dependency among VNFs within an SFC, which adds substantial complexity to container deployment. The second challenge is the cold start delay of VNF containers, a critical issue in scenarios requiring swift response times, which negatively impacts service quality in VEC applications. To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive model for SFC placement that considers the deployment status of VNF containers, acknowledging the complexity of this NP-hard problem. The core of our contribution is the development of the Single SFC Placement Algorithm (SSPA), a sophisticated, greedy-based approach designed for the effective placement of individual SFCs. We enhance this algorithm by incorporating a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique, making it capable of efficiently handling the placement of multiple SFCs. Our solution aims to improve edge resource utilization and mitigate startup delays associated with the initial activation of containers, thereby reducing service delays. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that our algorithm achieves a 34.3% average reduction in service delay compared to four baselines and a 5.8% average reduction compared to other container-aware algorithms.
Due to low storage cost and fast query speed, deep hashing methods are widely used in cross-modal retrieval. However, the 'heterogeneous gap' between multi-modal data is still a challenge. Moreover, a major di...
