Pre-trained large transformer models have achieved remarkable performance in the fields of natural language processing and computer vision. However, the limited availability of public electroencephalogram (EEG) data presents a unique challenge for extending the success of these models to EEG-based tasks. To address this gap, we propose AdaCT, plug-and-play Adapters designed for Converting Time series data into spatio-temporal 2D pseudo-images or text forms. Essentially, AdaCT-I transforms multi-channel or lengthy single-channel time series data into spatio-temporal 2D pseudo-images for fine-tuning pre-trained vision transformers, while AdaCT-T converts short single-channel data into text for fine-tuning pre-trained language transformers. The proposed approach allows for seamless integration of pre-trained vision models and language models in time series decoding tasks, particularly in EEG data analysis. Experimental results on diverse benchmark datasets, including Epileptic Seizure Recognition, Sleep-EDF, and UCI HAR, demonstrate the superiority of AdaCT over baseline methods. Overall, we provide a promising transfer learning framework for leveraging the capabilities of pre-trained vision and language models in EEG-based tasks, thereby advancing the field of time series decoding and enhancing interpretability in EEG data analysis. Our code will be available at https://github.com/wangbxj1234/AdaCE.

Recently, multimodal electroencephalogram (EEG) learning has shown great promise in disease detection. At the same time, ensuring privacy in clinical studies has become increasingly crucial due to legal and ethical concerns. One widely adopted scheme for privacy protection is differential privacy (DP) because of its clear interpretation and ease of implementation. Although numerous methods have been proposed under DP, it has not been extensively studied for multimodal EEG data due to the complexities of models and signal data considered there. In this paper, we propose a novel Differentially Private Multimodal Laplacian Dropout (DP-MLD) scheme for multimodal EEG learning. Our approach proposes a novel multimodal representative learning model that processes EEG data by language models as text and other modal data by vision transformers as images, incorporating well-designed cross-attention mechanisms to effectively extract and integrate cross-modal features. To achieve DP, we design a novel adaptive feature-level Laplacian dropout scheme, where randomness allocation and performance are dynamically optimized within given privacy budgets. In the experiment on an open-source multimodal dataset of Freezing of Gait (FoG) in Parkinson's Disease (PD), our proposed method demonstrates an approximate 4\% improvement in classification accuracy, and achieves state-of-the-art performance in multimodal EEG learning under DP.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a novel explicit representation for 3D scenes, offering both high-fidelity reconstruction and efficient rendering. However, 3DGS lacks 3D segmentation ability, which limits its applicability in tasks that require scene understanding. The identification and isolating of specific object components is crucial. To address this limitation, we propose Label-aware 3D Gaussian Splatting (LabelGS), a method that augments the Gaussian representation with object label.LabelGS introduces cross-view consistent semantic masks for 3D Gaussians and employs a novel Occlusion Analysis Model to avoid overfitting occlusion during optimization, Main Gaussian Labeling model to lift 2D semantic prior to 3D Gaussian and Gaussian Projection Filter to avoid Gaussian label conflict. Our approach achieves effective decoupling of Gaussian representations and refines the 3DGS optimization process through a random region sampling strategy, significantly improving efficiency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LabelGS outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods, including Feature-3DGS, in the 3D scene segmentation task. Notably, LabelGS achieves a remarkable 22X speedup in training compared to Feature-3DGS, at a resolution of 1440X1080. Our code will be at https://github.com/garrisonz/LabelGS.

Past research and practice have demonstrated that dynamic rerouting framework is effective in mitigating urban traffic congestion and thereby improve urban travel efficiency. It has been suggested that dynamic rerouting could be facilitated using emerging technologies such as fog-computing which offer advantages of low-latency capabilities and information exchange between vehicles and roadway infrastructure. To address this question, this study proposes a two-stage model that combines GAQ (Graph Attention Network - Deep Q Learning) and EBkSP (Entropy Based k Shortest Path) using a fog-cloud architecture, to reroute vehicles in a dynamic urban environment and therefore to improve travel efficiency in terms of travel speed. First, GAQ analyzes the traffic conditions on each road and for each fog area, and then assigns a road index based on the information attention from both local and neighboring areas. Second, EBkSP assigns the route for each vehicle based on the vehicle priority and route popularity. A case study experiment is carried out to investigate the efficacy of the proposed model. At the model training stage, different methods are used to establish the vehicle priorities, and their impact on the results is assessed. Also, the proposed model is tested under various scenarios with different ratios of rerouting and background (non-rerouting) vehicles. The results demonstrate that vehicle rerouting using the proposed model can help attain higher speed and reduces possibility of severe congestion. This result suggests that the proposed model can be deployed by urban transportation agencies for dynamic rerouting and ultimately, to reduce urban traffic congestion.
