Unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features by Zeyu WANG, Shuhui BU, Wei HUANG, Yuanpan ZHENG, Qinggang WU, Huawen CHANG, Xu ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the distribution differences of visual, spatial, and semantic features between domains in domain adaptation, an unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features was proposed.Firstly, an attentive fusion semantic segmentation network with three-layer structure was designed to learn the above three types of features from the source domain and target domain, respectively.Secondly, a self-supervised learning method jointing distribution confidence and semantic confidence was introduced into the single-level adversarial learning, so as to achieve the distribution alignment of more target domain pixels in the process of minimizing the distribution distance of the learnt features between domains.Finally, three adversarial branches and three adaptive sub-networks were jointly optimized by the multi-level adversarial learning method based on multi-modal features, which could effectively learn the invariant representation between domains for the features extracted from each sub-network.The experimental results show that compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, on the datasets of GTA5 to Cityscapes, SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, and SUN-RGBD to NYUD-v2 the proposed network achieves the best mean intersection over union of 62.2%, 66.9%, and 59.7%, respectively.…”

Unsupervised alignment reveals structural commonalities and differences in neural representations of natural scenes across individuals and brain areas by Ken Takeda, Kota Abe, Jun Kitazono, Masafumi Oizumi

“…To address this, we propose an unsupervised alignment framework based on Gromov-Wasserstein Optimal Transport, which identifies correspondences between neural representations solely from internal similarity structures, without relying on stimulus labels. Applying this method to Neuropixels recordings in mice and fMRI data in humans viewing natural scenes, we found that the neural representations in the same visual cortical areas can be well aligned across individuals in an unsupervised manner. …”

Responsibility for the legal costs in case of procedural complicity in civil and commercial proceedings by Julia V. Kaizer

“…The subject of the paper are basic principles for the responsibility for the legal costs in case of procedural complicity and consolidation of these principles in the procedural legislation.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that the basis of principles for imposing the responsibility for the legal costs on co-plaintiff or codefendant includes substantive criterion (the nature of the disputed material relationship) and procedural criterion (the procedural status of the co-participant).The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method of cognition and the resulting private-scientific methods, in particular: the system-structural method and the method of comparative law.The main results and scope of their application. …”

Implicit Is Not Enough: Explicitly Enforcing Anatomical Priors inside Landmark Localization Models by Simon Johannes Joham, Arnela Hadzic, Martin Urschler

“…The task of localizing distinct anatomical structures in medical image data is an essential prerequisite for several medical applications, such as treatment planning in orthodontics, bone-age estimation, or initialization of segmentation methods in automated image analysis tools. Currently, Anatomical Landmark Localization (ALL) is mainly solved by deep-learning methods, which cannot guarantee robust ALL predictions; there may always be outlier predictions that are far from their ground truth locations due to out-of-distribution inputs. …”
