However, the computational cost and memory requirement renders these methods unsuitable on the mobile device. In this paper, we introduce a new method squeeze-enhanced Axial Transformer (SeaFormer) for mobile visual recognition. Specifically, we design a generic attention block characterized by the formulation of squeeze Axial and detail enhancement. It can be further used to create a family of backbone architectures with superior cost-effectiveness. Coupled with a light segmentation head, we achieve the best trade-off between segmentation accuracy and latency on the ARM-based mobile devices on the ADE20K, Cityscapes Pascal Context and COCO-Stuff datasets. Critically, we beat both the mobile-friendly rivals and Transformer-based counterparts with better performance and lower latency without bells and whistles. Furthermore, we incorporate a feature upsampling-based multi-resolution distillation technique, further reducing the inference latency of the proposed framework. Beyond semantic segmentation, we further apply the proposed SeaFormer architecture to image classification and object detection problems, demonstrating the potential of serving as a versatile mobile-friendly backbone.

To meet the needs of many users, the detection method must have the flexibility to adapt the type of ID images.

However, the presence of backdoors within PVMs poses significant threats. Unfortunately, existing studies primarily focus on backdooring PVMs for the classification task, neglecting potential inherited backdoors in downstream tasks such as detection and segmentation. In this paper, we propose the <i>Pre-trained Trojan</i> attack, which embeds backdoors into a PVM, enabling attacks across various downstream vision tasks. We highlight the challenges posed by <i>cross-task activation</i> and <i>shortcut connections</i> in successful backdoor attacks. To achieve effective trigger activation in diverse tasks, we stylize the backdoor trigger patterns with class-specific textures, enhancing the recognition of task-irrelevant low-level features associated with the target class in the trigger pattern. Moreover, we address the issue of shortcut connections by introducing a context-free learning pipeline for poison training. In this approach, triggers without contextual backgrounds are directly utilized as training data, diverging from the conventional use of clean images. Consequently, we establish a direct shortcut from the trigger to the target class, mitigating the shortcut connection issue. We conducted extensive experiments to thoroughly validate the effectiveness of our attacks on downstream detection and segmentation tasks. Additionally, we showcase the potential of our approach in more practical scenarios, including large vision models and 3D object detection in autonomous driving.

However, we disclose a nontrivial <i>mutual-exclusion</i> relationship between these critical representation properties through an exploratory demonstration on self-supervised learning. State-of-the-art self-supervised methods tend to enhance either generalizability or discriminability but not both simultaneously. Thus, learning representations <i>jointly</i> possessing strong generalizability and discriminability presents a specific challenge for self-supervised learning. To this end, we revisit the learning paradigm of self-supervised learning from the perspective of evolutionary game theory (EGT) and outline the theoretical roadmap to achieve a desired trade-off between these representation properties. EGT performs well in analyzing the trade-off point in a <i>two-player</i> game by utilizing dynamic system modeling. However, the EGT analysis requires sufficient annotated data, which contradicts the principle of self-supervised learning, i.e., the EGT analysis cannot be conducted without the annotations of the specific target domain for self-supervised learning. Thus, to enhance the methodological generalization, we propose a novel self-supervised learning method that leverages advancements in reinforcement learning to jointly benefit from the general guidance of EGT and sequentially optimize the model to chase the consistent improvement of generalizability and discriminability for specific target domains during pre-training. On top of this, we provide a benchmark to evaluate the generalizability and discriminability of learned representations comprehensively. Theoretically, we establish that the proposed method tightens the generalization error upper bound of self-supervised learning.

Our contributions are as follows. First, we develop a novel approach for cross-modal unsupervised learning of semantic segmentation by leveraging synchronized LiDAR and image data. A crucial element of our method is the integration of an object proposal module that examines the LiDAR point cloud to generate proposals for spatially consistent objects. Second, we demonstrate that these 3D object proposals can be aligned with corresponding images and effectively grouped into semantically meaningful pseudo-classes. Third, we introduce a cross-modal distillation technique that utilizes image data partially annotated with the learnt pseudo-classes to train a transformer-based model for semantic image segmentation. Fourth, we demonstrate further significant improvements of our approach by extending the proposed model using a teacher-student distillation with an exponential moving average and incorporating soft targets from the teacher.

Also, object awareness and foreground-to-background discrimination are neglected, making contrastive learning less effective. To tackle these issues, we propose a general foreground-aware feature contrast FAC++ framework to learn more effective point cloud representations in pre-training. FAC++ consists of two novel contrast designs to construct more effective and informative contrast pairs. The first is building positive pairs within the same foreground segment where points tend to have the same semantics. The second is that we prevent over-discrimination between 3D segments/objects and encourage grouped foreground-to-background distinctions at the segment level with adaptive feature learning in a Siamese correspondence network, which adaptively learns feature correlations within and across point cloud views effectively. Our proposed approach enhances both the local coherence as well as the overall feature discrimination. Moreover, we have designed the linguistic foreground-aware regional point sampling to enhance more balanced foreground-aware learning, which is termed FAC++. Visualization with point activation maps shows that our contrast pairs capture clear correspondences among foreground regions during pre-training. Quantitative experiments also show that FAC++ achieves superior knowledge transfer and data efficiency in various downstream 3D semantic segmentation, instance segmentation as well as object detection tasks.
