The existing works mainly treat the final classifier as the teacher, enhancing the classification accuracy by transferring knowledge to the intermediate classifiers. However, this traditional self-distillation training strategy only utilizes the knowledge contained in the final classifier, neglecting potentially distinctive knowledge in the other classifiers. To address this limitation, we propose a novel multi-level collaborative self-distillation learning strategy (MLCSD) that extracts knowledge from all the classifiers. MLCSD dynamically determines the weight coefficients for each classifier’s contribution through a learning process, thus constructing more comprehensive and effective teachers tailored to each classifier. These new teachers transfer the knowledge back to each classifier through a distillation technique, thereby further improving the network’s inference efficiency. We conduct experiments on three datasets, CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and Tiny-ImageNet. Compared with the baseline network that employs traditional self-distillation, our MLCSD-Net based on ResNet18 enhances the average classification accuracy by 1.18%. The experimental results demonstrate that MLCSD-Net improves the inference efficiency of adaptive inference applications, such as anytime prediction and budgeted batch classification.

However, accurate traffic prediction still faces challenges. It is difficult to extract dynamic spatial–temporal correlations of traffic flow and capture the specific traffic pattern for each sub-region. In this paper, a temporal attention recurrent graph convolutional neural network (TARGCN) is proposed to address these issues. The proposed TARGCN model fuses a node-embedded graph convolutional (Emb-GCN) layer, a gated recurrent unit (GRU) layer, and a temporal attention (TA) layer into a framework to exploit both dynamic spatial correlations between traffic nodes and temporal dependencies between time slices. In the Emb-GCN layer, node embedding matrix and node parameter learning techniques are employed to extract spatial correlations between traffic nodes at a fine-grained level and learn the specific traffic pattern for each node. Following this, a series of gated recurrent units are stacked as a GRU layer to capture spatial and temporal features from the traffic flow of adjacent nodes in the past few time slices simultaneously. Furthermore, an attention layer is applied in the temporal dimension to extend the receptive field of GRU. The combination of the Emb-GCN, GRU, and the TA layer facilitates the proposed framework exploiting not only the spatial–temporal dependencies but also the degree of interconnectedness between traffic nodes, which benefits the prediction a lot. Experiments on public traffic datasets PEMSD4 and PEMSD8 demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with state-of-the-art baselines, it achieves 4.62% and 5.78% on PEMS03, 3.08% and 0.37% on PEMSD4, and 5.08% and 0.28% on PEMSD8 superiority on average.

Deep learning, one of the mainstream methods in prohibited item detection tasks, has shown superior performance far beyond traditional prohibited item detection methods. However, most neural network architectures in deep learning still lack sufficient local feature representation ability for overlapping and small targets, and ignore the problem of semantic conflicts caused by direct feature fusion. In this paper, we propose MFPIDet, a novel prohibited item detection neural network architecture based on improved YOLOV7 to achieve reliable prohibited item detection in complex environments. Specifically, a multi-scale attention module (MAM) backbone is proposed to filter the redundant information of target regions and further applied to enhance the local feature representation ability of overlapping objects. Here, to reduce the redundant information of target regions, a squeeze-excitation (SE) block is used to filter the background. Then, aiming at enhancing the feature expression ability of overlapping objects, a multi-scale feature extraction module (MFEM) is designed for local feature representation. In addition, to obtain richer context information, We design an adaptive fusion feature pyramid network (AF-FPN) to combine the adaptive context information fusion module (ACIFM) with the feature fusion module (FFM) to improve the neck structure of YOLOV7. The proposed method is validated on the PIDray dataset, and the tested results showed that our method obtained the highest <i>mAP</i> (68.7%), which is improved by 3.5% than YOLOV7 methods.

Hence, the challenge of achieving a high-performance model via datasets containing noisy labels has attracted significant research interest. Some existing methods are unable to exclude samples containing noisy labels and some methods still have high requirements on datasets. To solve this problem, we propose a noisy label learning method for medical image segmentation using a mixture of high and low quality labels based on the architecture of mean teacher. Firstly, considering the teacher model’s capacity to aggregate all previously learned information following each training step, we propose to leverage a teacher model to correct noisy label adaptively during the training phase. Secondly, to enhance the model’s robustness, we propose to infuse feature perturbations into the student model. This strategy aims to bolster the model’s ability to handle variations in input data and improve its resilience to noisy labels. Finally, we simulate noisy labels by destroying labels in two medical image datasets: the Automated Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge (ACDC) dataset and the 3D Left Atrium (LA) dataset.

In most traffic flow prediction research, the non-stationary solution of deep spatial–temporal regression tasks is typically formulated as a spatial–temporal graph modeling problem. However, there are several issues: (1) the coupled spatial–temporal regression approach renders it unfeasible to accurately learn the dependencies of diverse modalities; (2) the intricate stacking design of deep spatial–temporal network modules limits the interpretation and migration capability; (3) the ability to model dynamic spatial–temporal relationships is inadequate. To tackle the challenges mentioned above, we propose a novel unified spatial–temporal regression framework named Generalized Spatial–Temporal Regression Graph Convolutional Transformer (GSTRGCT) that extends panel model in spatial econometrics and combines it with deep neural networks to effectively model non-stationary relationships of spatial–temporal regression. Considering the coupling of existing deep spatial–temporal networks, we introduce the tensor decomposition to explicitly decompose the panel model into a tensor product of spatial regression on the spatial hyper-plane and temporal regression on the temporal hyper-plane. On the spatial hyper-plane, we present dynamic adaptive spatial weight network (DASWNN) to capture the global and local spatial correlations. Specifically, DASWNN adopts spatial weight neural network (SWNN) to learn the semantic global spatial correlation and dynamically adjusts the local changing spatial correlation by multiplying between spatial nodes embedding. On the temporal hyper-plane, we introduce the Auto-Correlation attention mechanism to capture the period-based temporal dependence.
