Lyrics generation is a well-known application in natural language generation research, with several previous studies focusing on generating accurate lyrics using precise control such as keywords, rhymes, etc. However, lyrics imitation, which involves writing new lyrics by imitating the style and content of the source lyrics, remains a challenging task due to the lack of a parallel corpus. In this paper, we introduce \textbf{\textit{Sudowoodo}}, a Chinese lyrics imitation system that can generate new lyrics based on the text of source lyrics. To address the issue of lacking a parallel training corpus for lyrics imitation, we propose a novel framework to construct a parallel corpus based on a keyword-based lyrics model from source lyrics. Then the pairs \textit{(new lyrics, source lyrics)} are used to train the lyrics imitation model. During the inference process, we utilize a post-processing module to filter and rank the generated lyrics, selecting the highest-quality ones. We incorporated audio information and aligned the lyrics with the audio to form the songs as a bonus. The human evaluation results show that our framework can perform better lyric imitation. Meanwhile, the \textit{Sudowoodo} system and demo video of the system is available at \href{https://Sudowoodo.apps-hp.danlu.netease.com/}{Sudowoodo} and \href{https://youtu.be/u5BBT_j1L5M}{https://youtu.be/u5BBT\_j1L5M}.

Defect detection aims to detect and localize regions out of the normal distribution.Previous approaches model normality and compare it with the input to identify defective regions, potentially limiting their generalizability.This paper proposes a one-stage framework that detects defective patterns directly without the modeling process.This ability is adopted through the joint efforts of three parties: a generative adversarial network (GAN), a newly proposed scaled pattern loss, and a dynamic masked cycle-consistent auxiliary network. Explicit information that could indicate the position of defects is intentionally excluded to avoid learning any direct mapping.Experimental results on the texture class of the challenging MVTec AD dataset show that the proposed method is 2.9% higher than the SOTA methods in F1-Score, while substantially outperforming SOTA methods in generalizability.
