ADynamic Learning Strategy for Dempster-Shafer Theory with Applications in Classification and Enhancement
Effective modelling of uncertain information is crucial for quantifying uncertainty. Dempster-Shafer evidence (DSE) theory is a widely recognized approach for handling uncertain information. However, current methods often neglect the inherent a priori information within data during modelling, and imbalanced data lead to insufficient attention to key information in the model. To address these limitations, this paper presents a dynamic learning strategy based on nonuniform splitting mechanism and Hilbert space mapping. First, the framework uses a nonuniform splitting mechanism to dynamically adjust the weights of data subsets and combines the diffusion factor to effectively incorporate the data a priori information, thereby flexibly addressing uncertainty and conflict. Second, the conflict in the information fusion process is reduced by Hilbert space mapping. Experimental results on multiple tasks show that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods and effectively improves the performance of classification and low-light image enhancement (LLIE) tasks.

IR-CM: The Fast and General-purpose Image Restoration Method Based on Consistency Model
This paper proposes a fast and general-purpose image restoration method. The key idea is to achieve few-step or even one-step inference by conducting consistency distilling or training on a specific mean-reverting stochastic differential equations. Furthermore, based on this, we propose a novel linear-nonlinear decoupling training strategy, significantly enhancing training effectiveness and surpassing consistency distillation on inference performance. This allows our method to be independent of any pre-trained checkpoint, enabling it to serve as an effective standalone image-to-image transformation model. Finally, to avoid trivial solutions and stabilize model training, we introduce a simple origin-guided loss. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conducted experiments on tasks including image deraining, denoising, deblurring, and low-light image enhancement. The experiments show that our method achieves highly competitive results with only one-step inference. And with just two-step inference, it can achieve state-of-the-art performance in low-light image enhancement. Furthermore, a number of ablation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed training strategy.
