    Abstract There are several problems with the robustness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). For example, the prediction of CNNs can be changed by adding a small magnitude of noise to an input, and the performances of CNNs are degraded when the distribution of input is shifted by a transformation never seen during training (e.g., the blur effect). There are approaches to replace pixel values with binary embeddings to tackle the problem of adversarial perturbations, which successfully improve robustness. In this work, we propose Pixel to Binary Embedding (P2BE) to improve the robustness of CNNs. P2BE is a learnable binary embedding method as opposed to previous hand-coded binary embedding methods. P2BE outperforms other binary embedding methods in robustness against adversarial perturbations and visual corruptions that are not shown during training.

    Abstract The E3 ubiquitin ligase Riplet mediates retinoic acid-inducible gene-I polyubiquitination and is essential for viral-induced expression of type I IFNs in dendritic cells and macrophages. The function of Riplet in innate immunity has been well demonstrated; however, its role in adaptive immunity during the antitumor immune response is unclear. In this study, we examined the role of Riplet in the T cell-mediated antitumor immune response. Riplet was expressed in T cells and upregulated in CD8

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 8502 "QUAD shot" regimen using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for incurable head and neck cancer (HNC).
    Materials and methods: We included 105 patients with HNC in the study, undergoing at least one QUAD shot regimen cycle. We planned the radiotherapy using VMAT with 6 MV photons. One QUAD shot cycle included 14.8 Gy in 4 fractions with at least 6-hour intervals over 2 consecutive days, repeated every 3-6 weeks up to 3 cycles.
    Results: We completed 1, 2, and 3 cycles in 11 (10 %), 17 (16 %), and 77 (73 %) patients, respectively. We concurrently performed systemic therapy in 13 (12 %) patients. Tumor response was observed in 92 (88 %) patients and at least one symptom relief in 51 (71 %) of 72 patients. We observed an overall response (tumor response or symptom relief) in 98 (93 %) patients with all patients who completed 3 cycles achieving it. The median overall survival (OS) was 6.8 months. Our multivariate analysis revealed that non-squamous cell carcinoma (p < 0.001), T category of 0-2 (p = 0.021), and 3 QUAD shot cycles (p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors of better OS. We observed Grade 3 toxicity in 2 (2 %) patients while no ≥ Grade 4 acute or ≥ Grade 3 late toxicity.
    Conclusions: The QUAD shot regimen using VMAT exerts appropriate palliative effect in patients with incurable HNC. Treatment with higher QUAD shot cycle number would be recommended for better treatment outcomes.

    Abstract The exploration of the latent space in StyleGANs and GAN inversion exemplify impressive real-world image editing, yet the trade-off between reconstruction quality and editing quality remains an open problem. In this study, we revisit StyleGANs' hyperspherical prior $\mathcal{Z}$ and $\mathcal{Z}^+$ and integrate them into seminal GAN inversion methods to improve editing quality. Besides faithful reconstruction, our extensions achieve sophisticated editing quality with the aid of the StyleGAN prior. We project the real images into the proposed space to obtain the inverted codes, by which we then move along $\mathcal{Z}^{+}$, enabling semantic editing without sacrificing image quality. Comprehensive experiments show that $\mathcal{Z}^{+}$ can replace the most commonly-used $\mathcal{W}$, $\mathcal{W}^{+}$, and $\mathcal{S}$ spaces while preserving reconstruction quality, resulting in reduced distortion of edited images.

    Abstract Humans possess the capacity to reason about the future based on a sparse collection of visual cues acquired over time. In order to emulate this ability, we introduce a novel task called Anticipation Captioning, which generates a caption for an unseen oracle image using a sparsely temporally-ordered set of images. To tackle this new task, we propose a model called A-CAP, which incorporates commonsense knowledge into a pre-trained vision-language model, allowing it to anticipate the caption. Through both qualitative and quantitative evaluations on a customized visual storytelling dataset, A-CAP outperforms other image captioning methods and establishes a strong baseline for anticipation captioning. We also address the challenges inherent in this task.

    Abstract Label-noise or curated unlabeled data is used to compensate for the assumption of clean labeled data in training the conditional generative adversarial network; however, satisfying such an extended assumption is occasionally laborious or impractical. As a step towards generative modeling accessible to everyone, we introduce a novel conditional image generation framework that accepts noisy-labeled and uncurated unlabeled data during training: (i) closed-set and open-set label noise in labeled data and (ii) closed-set and open-set unlabeled data. To combat it, we propose soft curriculum learning, which assigns instance-wise weights for adversarial training while assigning new labels for unlabeled data and correcting wrong labels for labeled data. Unlike popular curriculum learning, which uses a threshold to pick the training samples, our soft curriculum controls the effect of each training instance by using the weights predicted by the auxiliary classifier, resulting in the preservation of useful samples while ignoring harmful ones. Our experiments show that our approach outperforms existing semi-supervised and label-noise robust methods in terms of both quantitative and qualitative performance. In particular, the proposed approach is able to match the performance of (semi-) supervised GANs even with less than half the labeled data.

    Abstract The exploration of the latent space in StyleGANs and GAN inversion exemplify impressive real-world image editing, yet the trade-off between reconstruction quality and editing quality remains an open problem. In this study, we revisit StyleGANs' hyperspherical prior $\mathcal{Z}$ and combine it with highly capable latent spaces to build combined spaces that faithfully invert real images while maintaining the quality of edited images. More specifically, we propose $\mathcal{F}/\mathcal{Z}^{+}$ space consisting of two subspaces: $\mathcal{F}$ space of an intermediate feature map of StyleGANs enabling faithful reconstruction and $\mathcal{Z}^{+}$ space of an extended StyleGAN prior supporting high editing quality. We project the real images into the proposed space to obtain the inverted codes, by which we then move along $\mathcal{Z}^{+}$, enabling semantic editing without sacrificing image quality. Comprehensive experiments show that $\mathcal{Z}^{+}$ can replace the most commonly-used $\mathcal{W}$, $\mathcal{W}^{+}$, and $\mathcal{S}$ spaces while preserving reconstruction quality, resulting in reduced distortion of edited images.
