LLM AS DBA

DATABASE ADMINISTRATORS (DBAS) PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN MANAGING, MAINTAINING AND OPTIMIZING A DATABASE SYSTEM TO ENSURE DATA AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND RELIABILITY.

ANYLOC: TOWARDS UNIVERSAL VISUAL PLACE RECOGNITION

IN THIS WORK, WE DEVELOP A UNIVERSAL SOLUTION TO VPR -- A TECHNIQUE THAT WORKS ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED ENVIRONMENTS (URBAN, OUTDOORS, INDOORS, AERIAL, UNDERWATER, AND SUBTERRANEAN ENVIRONMENTS) WITHOUT ANY RE-TRAINING OR FINE-TUNING.

PUG: PHOTOREALISTIC AND SEMANTICALLY CONTROLLABLE SYNTHETIC DATA FOR REPRESENTATION LEARNING

SYNTHETIC IMAGE DATASETS OFFER UNMATCHED ADVANTAGES FOR DESIGNING AND EVALUATING DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS: THEY MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO (I) RENDER AS MANY DATA SAMPLES AS NEEDED, (II) PRECISELY CONTROL EACH SCENE AND YIELD GRANULAR GROUND TRUTH LABELS (AND CAPTIONS), (III) PRECISELY CONTROL DISTRIBUTION SHIFTS BETWEEN TRAINING AND TESTING TO ISOLATE VARIABLES OF INTEREST FOR SOUND EXPERIMENTATION.

LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: A SURVEY

THIS EVOLUTION REQUIRES A COMBINATION OF BOTH TRADITIONAL METHODS (SUCH AS TERM-BASED SPARSE RETRIEVAL METHODS WITH RAPID RESPONSE) AND MODERN NEURAL ARCHITECTURES (SUCH AS LANGUAGE MODELS WITH POWERFUL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING CAPACITY).

CoDeF: CONTENT DEFORMATION FIELDS FOR TEMPORALLY CONSISTENT VIDEO PROCESSING

WE PRESENT THE CONTENT DEFORMATION FIELD F AS A NEW TYPE OF VIDEO REPRESENTATION, WHICH CONSISTS OF A CANONICAL CONTENT FIELD AGGREGATING THE STATIC CONTENTS IN THE ENTIRE VIDEO AND A TEMPORAL DEFORMATION FIELD RECORDING THE TRANSFORMATIONS FROM THE CANONICAL IMAGE (I. E., RENDERED FROM THE CANONICAL CONTENT FIELD) TO EACH INDIVIDUAL FRAME ALONG THE TIME AXIS. GIVEN A TARGET VIDEO, THESE TWO FIELDS ARE JOINTLY OPTIMIZED TO RECONSTRUCT IT THROUGH A CAREFULLY TAILORED RENDERING PIPELINE. WE ADVISEDLY INTRODUCE SOME REGULARIZATIONS INTO THE OPTIMIZATION PROCESS, URGING THE CANONICAL CONTENT FIELD TO INHERIT SEMANTICS (E. G., THE OBJECT SHAPE) FROM THE VIDEO. WITH SUCH A DESIGN, F NATURALLY SUPPORTS LIFTING IMAGE ALGORITHMS FOR VIDEO PROCESSING, IN THE SENSE THAT ONE CAN APPLY AN IMAGE ALGORITHM TO THE CANONICAL IMAGE AND EFFORTLESSLY PROPAGATE THE OUTCOMES TO THE ENTIRE VIDEO WITH THE AID OF THE TEMPORAL DEFORMATION FIELD. WE EXPERIMENTALLY SHOW THAT F IS ABLE TO LIFT IMAGE-TO-IMAGE TRANSLATION TO VIDEO-TO-VIDEO TRANSLATION AND LIFT KEYPOINT DETECTION TO KEYPOINT TRACKING WITHOUT ANY TRAINING. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THANKS TO OUR LIFTING STRATEGY THAT DEPLOYS THE ALGORITHMS ON ONLY ONE IMAGE, WE ACHIEVE SUPERIOR CROSS-FRAME CONSISTENCY IN PROCESSED VIDEOS COMPARED TO EXISTING VIDEO-TO-VIDEO TRANSLATION APPROACHES, AND EVEN MANAGE TO TRACK NON-RIGID OBJECTS LIKE WATER AND SMOG.
