In this paper, we present a novel robust framework for low-level vision tasks, including denoising, object removal, frame interpolation, and super-resolution, that does not require any external training data corpus.

Compressing neural networks by pruning weights with small magnitudes can significantly reduce the computation and storage cost. Although pruning makes the model smaller,itisdifficult toget apractical speedup inmodern computing platforms such as CPU and GPU due to the irregularity.

When 12-year-old Matteo Mucchetti mapped out an amusement-style attraction that he wanted to create in his family's basement and then showed it to his older brother Nico, the high-school sophomore was immediately sold. "This is amazing," said Nico. "Let's make it!" Matteo had sketched on paper a top-down view of the multi-room space in Bear, Delaware, where they live.

How would you describe why the image in Figure 1 looks like a clay colored sparrow? Perhaps the bird's head and wing bars look like those of a prototypical clay colored sparrow. When we describe how we classify images, we might focus on parts of the image and compare them with prototypical parts of images from a given class. This method of reasoning is commonly used in difficult identification tasks: e.g., radiologists compare suspected tumors in X-ray scans with prototypical tumor images for diagnosis of cancer [13].

Recent development in Artificial Intelligence (AI) models has propelled their application in scientific discovery, but the validation and exploration of these discoveries require subsequent empirical experimentation. The concept of self-driving laboratories promises to automate and thus boost the experimental process following AI-driven discoveries. However, the transition of experimental protocols, originally crafted for human comprehension, into formats interpretable by machines presents significant challenges, which, within the context of specific expert domain, encompass the necessity for structured as opposed to natural language, the imperative for explicit rather than tacit knowledge, and the preservation of causality and consistency throughout protocol steps. Presently, the task of protocol translation predominantly requires the manual and labor-intensive involvement of domain experts and information technology specialists, rendering the process time-intensive. To address these issues, we propose a framework that automates the protocol translation process through a three-stage workflow, which incremen-tally constructs Protocol Dependence Graphs (PDGs) that approach structured on the syntax level, completed on the semantics level, and linked on the execution level. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations have demonstrated its performance at par with that of human experts, underscoring its potential to significantly expedite and democratize the process of scientific discovery by elevating the automation capabilities within self-driving laboratories.

Equivariance has gained strong interest as a desirable network property that inherently ensures robust generalization. However, when dealing with complex systems such as articulated objects or multi-object scenes, effectively capturing inter-part transformations poses a challenge, as it becomes entangled with the overall structure and local transformations. The interdependence of part assignment and per-part group action necessitates a novel equivariance formulation that allows for their co-evolution.
