Local causal discovery aims to learn and distinguish the direct causes and effects of a target variable from observed data. Existing constraint-based local causal discovery methods use AND or OR rules in constructing the local causal skeleton, but using either rule alone is prone to produce cascading errors in the learned local causal skeleton, and thus impacting the inference of local causal relationships. On the other hand, directly applying score-based global causal discovery methods to local causal discovery may randomly return incorrect results due to the existence of local equivalence classes. To address the above issues, we propose a Hybrid Local Causal Discovery algorithm, called HLCD. Specifically, HLCD initially utilizes a constraint-based approach combined with the OR rule to obtain a candidate skeleton and then employs a score-based method to eliminate redundant portions in the candidate skeleton. Furthermore, during the local causal orientation phase, HLCD distinguishes between V-structures and equivalence classes by comparing the local structure scores between the two, thereby avoiding orientation interference caused by local equivalence classes. We conducted extensive experiments with seven state-of-the-art competitors on 14 benchmark Bayesian network datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate that HLCD significantly outperforms existing local causal discovery algorithms.

Masked Language Modeling (MLM) and Image-Text Matching (ITM) are always used in fusion encoder to learn the joint representation of images and text. In existing methods, the masking strategy of MLM leads to the neglect of image details during the modeling process. Meanwhile, the sampling strategy of ITM struggles to consistently select high-difficulty hard negative instances, reducing the effectiveness of constraints. This leads to challenges in aligning fine-grained information in cross-modal retrieval. In response to this challenge, a fine-grained information alignment-based visual language model (FAM) is proposed in this paper. On one hand, the attribute-based masking strategy is employed in MLM, helping the model focus on the details of objects in images during modeling. On the other hand, the robust hard negative sample generation strategy provides challenging negative samples for ITM by altering the relationships between objects. This enables the model to align relationships between objects in different modalities and thus calibrates cross-modal retrieval. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in cross-modal retrieval tasks.

Recapture detection of face and document images is an important forensic task. With deep learning, the performances of face anti-spoofing (FAS) and recaptured document detection have been improved significantly. However, the performances are not yet satisfactory on samples with weak forensic cues. The amount of forensic cues can be quantified to allow a reliable forensic result. In this work, we propose a forensicability assessment network to quantify the forensicability of the questioned samples. The low-forensicability samples are rejected before the actual recapturing detection process to improve the efficiency of recapturing detection systems. We first extract forensicability features related to both image quality assessment and forensic tasks. By exploiting domain knowledge of the forensic application in image quality and forensic features, we define three task-specific forensicability classes and the initialized locations in the feature space. Based on the extracted features and the defined centers, we train the proposed forensic assessment network (FANet) with cross-entropy loss and update the centers with a momentum-based update method. We integrate the trained FANet with practical recapturing detection schemes in face anti-spoofing (FAS) and recaptured document detection tasks. Experimental results show that, for a generic CNN-based FAS scheme, FANet reduces the EERs from 33.75% to 19.23% under ROSE to IDIAP protocol by rejecting samples with the lowest 30% forensicability scores. The performance of FAS schemes is poor in the rejected samples, with EER as high as 56.48%. Similar performances in rejecting low-forensicability samples have been observed for the state-of-the-art approaches in FAS and recaptured document detection tasks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that assesses the forensicability of recaptured document images and improves the system efficiency. Copyright © 2022, The Authors.

Truck overload and over-limit are the primary causes of infrastructure damage and traffic safety accidents. In the past 2 years, researchers have started to deploy intelligent Internet of Things system at the source of truck delivery to enforce permit control. Truck type recognition is the core of such a system. However, existing methods suffer from limitations such as low recognition accuracy, high costs, difficult maintenance, and the need for road surface modifications. This study proposes a monocular camera-based visual truck type recognition method. First, the optimized lightweight deep neural network based on machine vision is utilized to detect truckaxles and recognize wheel hub categories. Next, a tracking algorithm and the video streamcontext information are employed to complete the robust statistics of the axle by neighborhoodcounting. Finally, the proposed method further achieves truck type recognition by leveragingavailable prior knowledge. Experimental results demonstrate that this method exhibits superiortime efficiency compared with existing algorithms, and it reduces average processing time by92.37% to 96.24% while ensuring high accuracy. Moreover, the method has been deployed onembedded devices with low computing power to enable real-time operation onsite. © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The number of vulnerabilities reported in open source software has increased substantially in recent years. Security patches provide the necessary measures to protect software from attacks and vulnerabilities. In practice, it is difficult to identify whether patches have been integrated into software, especially if we only have binary files. Therefore, the ability to test whether a patch is applied to the target binary, a.k.a. patch presence test, is crucial for practitioners. However, it is challenging to obtain accurate semantic information from patches, which could lead to incorrect results. In this paper, we propose a new patch presence test framework named Ppt4J (Patch Presence Test for Java Binaries). Ppt4J is designed for open-source Java libraries. It takes Java binaries (i.e. bytecode files) as input, extracts semantic information from patches, and uses feature-based techniques to identify patch lines in the binaries. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed approach Ppt4J, we construct a dataset with binaries that include 110 vulnerabilities. The results show that Ppt4J achieves an F1 score of 98.5% with reasonable efficiency, improving the baseline by 14.2%. Furthermore, we conduct an in-the-wild evaluation of Ppt4J on JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. The results suggest that a third-party library included in the software is not patched for two CVEs, and we have reported this potential security problem to the vendor. © 2023, CC BY-NC-ND.

The imbalance problem is widespread in the field of machine learning, whichalso exists in multimodal learning areas caused by the intrinsic discrepancybetween modalities of samples. Recent works have attempted to solve themodality imbalance problem from algorithm perspective, however, they do notfully analyze the influence of modality bias in datasets. Concretely, existingmultimodal datasets are usually collected under specific tasks, where onemodality tends to perform better than other ones in most conditions. In thiswork, to comprehensively explore the influence of modality bias, we first splitexisting datasets into different subsets by estimating sample-wise modalitydiscrepancy. We surprisingly find that: the multimodal models with existingimbalance algorithms consistently perform worse than the unimodal one onspecific subsets, in accordance with the modality bias. To further explore theinfluence of modality bias and analyze the effectiveness of existing imbalancealgorithms, we build a balanced audiovisual dataset, with uniformly distributedmodality discrepancy over the whole dataset. We then conduct extensiveexperiments to re-evaluate existing imbalance algorithms and draw someinteresting findings: existing algorithms only provide a compromise betweenmodalities and suffer from the large modality discrepancy of samples. We hopethat these findings could facilitate future research on the modality imbalanceproblem. Copyright © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Low-light images are commonly encountered in real-world scenarios, and numerous low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods have been proposed to improve the visibility of these images. The primary goal of LLIE is to generate clearer images that are more visually pleasing to humans. However, the impact of LLIE methods in high-level vision tasks, such as image classification and object detection, which rely on high-quality image datasets, is not well explored. To explore the impact, we comprehensively evaluate LLIE methods on these high-level vision tasks by utilizing an empirical investigation comprising image classification and object detection experiments. The evaluation reveals a dichotomy: While Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) methods enhance human visual interpretation, their effect on computer vision tasks is inconsistent and can sometimes be harmful. Our findings suggest a disconnect between image enhancement for human visual perception and for machine analysis, indicating a need for LLIE methods tailored to support high-level vision tasks effectively. This insight is crucial for the development of LLIE techniques that align with the needs of both human and machine vision. Copyright © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Many unsupervised visual anomaly detection methods train an auto-encoder to reconstruct normal samples and then leverage the reconstruction error map to detect and localize the anomalies. However, due to the powerful modeling and generalization ability of neural networks, some anomalies can also be well reconstructed, resulting in unsatisfactory detection and localization accuracy. In this paper, a small coarsely-labeled anomaly dataset is first collected. Then, a coarse-knowledge-aware adversarial learning method is developed to align the distribution of reconstructed features with that of normal features. The alignment can effectively suppress the auto-encoder’s reconstruction ability on anomalies and thus improve the detection accuracy. Considering that anomalies often only occupy very small areas in anomalous images, a patch-level adversarial learning strategy is further developed. Although no patch-level anomalous information is available, we rigorously prove that by simply viewing any patch features from anomalous images as anomalies, the proposed knowledge-aware method can also align the distribution of reconstructed patch features with the normal ones. Experimental results on four medical datasets and two industrial datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in improving the detection and localization performance.

Communication efficiency is one of the key bottlenecks in Federated Learning (FL). Compression techniques, such as sparsification and quantization, are used to reduce communication overhead. However, joint designs of these techniques under communication constraints are not well-explored. This paper investigates the joint uplink compression problem in communication-constrained FL systems. We propose a Block-TopK sparsification scheme to reduce the proportion of bits used for locating entries of a sparsified vector. Considering the communication constraints, an optimization formulation is proposed to minimize the compression error. By solving the optimization problem, our joint compression method provides a better trade-off between sparsity budget and bit width. Numerical results demonstrate that our approach achieves 99.96% of baseline accuracy with only 1.56% of the baseline communication overhead when training ResNet-18 on CIFAR-10.
