Accurate target segmentation from computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial for surgical robots to perform clinical surgeries successfully. However, the lack of medical image data and annotations has been the biggest obstacle to learning robust medical image segmentation models. Self-supervised learning can effectively address this problem by providing a strategy to pre-train a model with unlabeled data, and then fine-tune downstream tasks with limited labeled data. Existing self-supervised methods fail to simultaneously utilize the abundant global anatomical structure information and local feature differences in medical imaging. In this work, we propose a new strategy for the pre-training framework, which uses the three-dimensional anatomical structure of medical images and specific task and background cues to segment volumetric medical images with limited annotations. Specifically, we propose (1) learning intrinsic patterns of volumetric medical image structures through multiple sub-tasks, and (2) designing a multi-level background cube contrastive learning strategy to enhance the target feature representation by exploiting the differences between the specific target and background. We conduct extensive evaluations on two publicly available datasets. Under limited annotation settings, the proposed method yields significant improvements compared to other self-supervised learning techniques. The proposed method achieves within 6% of the baseline performance using only five labeled CT volumes for training. Once the paper is online, the code and dataset will be available at https://***/PinkGhost0812/SGL. IEEE

In the evolving landscape of surveillance and security applications, the task of person re-identification(re-ID) has significant importance, but also presents notable difficulties. This task entails the process of accurately matching and identifying persons across several camera views that do not overlap with one another. This is of utmost importance to video surveillance, public safety, and person-tracking applications. However, vision-related difficulties, such as variations in appearance, occlusions, viewpoint changes, cloth changes, scalability, limited robustness to environmental factors, and lack of generalizations, still hinder the development of reliable person re-ID methods. There are few approaches have been developed based on these difficulties relied on traditional deep-learning techniques. Nevertheless, recent advancements of transformer-based methods, have gained widespread adoption in various domains owing to their unique architectural properties. Recently, few transformer-based person re-ID methods have developed based on these difficulties and achieved good results. To develop reliable solutions for person re-ID, a comprehensive analysis of transformer-based methods is necessary. However, there are few studies that consider transformer-based techniques for further investigation. This review proposes recent literature on transformer-based approaches, examining their effectiveness, advantages, and potential challenges. This review is the first of its kind to provide insights into the revolutionary transformer-based methodologies used to tackle many obstacles in person re-ID, providing a forward-thinking outlook on current research and potentially guiding the creation of viable applications in real-world scenarios. The main objective is to provide a useful resource for academics and practitioners engaged in person re-ID. IEEE

Federated recommender systems(FedRecs) have garnered increasing attention recently, thanks to their privacypreserving benefits. However, the decentralized and open characteristics of current FedRecs present at least two ***, the performance of FedRecs is compromised due to highly sparse on-device data for each client. Second, the system's robustness is undermined by the vulnerability to model poisoning attacks launched by malicious users. In this paper, we introduce a novel contrastive learning framework designed to fully leverage the client's sparse data through embedding augmentation, referred to as CL4FedRec. Unlike previous contrastive learning approaches in FedRecs that necessitate clients to share their private parameters, our CL4FedRec aligns with the basic FedRec learning protocol, ensuring compatibility with most existing FedRec implementations. We then evaluate the robustness of FedRecs equipped with CL4FedRec by subjecting it to several state-of-the-art model poisoning attacks. Surprisingly, our observations reveal that contrastive learning tends to exacerbate the vulnerability of FedRecs to these attacks. This is attributed to the enhanced embedding uniformity, making the polluted target item embedding easily proximate to popular items. Based on this insight, we propose an enhanced and robust version of CL4FedRec(rCL4FedRec) by introducing a regularizer to maintain the distance among item embeddings with different popularity levels. Extensive experiments conducted on four commonly used recommendation datasets demonstrate that rCL4FedRec significantly enhances both the model's performance and the robustness of FedRecs.
