Few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) plays a crucial role in industrial manufacturing. However, existing FSAD methods encounter difficulties leveraging a limited number of normal samples, frequently failing to detect and locate inconspicuous anomalies in the spatial domain. We have further discovered that these subtle anomalies would be more noticeable in the frequency domain. In this paper, we propose a Dual-Path Frequency Discriminators (DFD) network from a frequency perspective to tackle these issues. The original spatial images are transformed into multi-frequency images, making them more conducive to the tailored discriminators in detecting anomalies. Additionally, the discriminators learn a joint representation with forms of pseudo-anomalies. Extensive experiments conducted on MVTec AD and VisA benchmarks demonstrate that our DFD surpasses current state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at \url{https://github.com/yuhbai/DFD}.

The big data industry is facing new challenges as concerns about privacy leakage soar. One of the remedies to privacy breach incidents is to encapsulate computations over sensitive data within hardware-assisted Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Such TEE-powered software is called secure enclaves. Secure enclaves hold various advantages against competing for privacy-preserving computation solutions. However, enclaves are much more challenging to build compared with ordinary software. The reason is that the development of TEE software must follow a restrictive programming model to make effective use of strong memory encryption and segregation enforced by hardware. These constraints transitively apply to all third-party dependencies of the software. If these dependencies do not officially support TEE hardware, TEE developers have to spend additional engineering effort in porting them. High development and maintenance cost is one of the major obstacles against adopting TEE-based privacy protection solutions in production. In this paper, we present our experience and achievements with regard to constructing and continuously maintaining a third-party library supply chain for TEE developers. In particular, we port a large collection of Rust third-party libraries into Intel SGX, one of the most mature trusted computing platforms. Our supply chain accepts upstream patches in a timely manner with SGX-specific security auditing. We have been able to maintain the SGX ports of 159 open-source Rust libraries with reasonable operational costs. Our work can effectively reduce the engineering cost of developing SGX enclaves for privacy-preserving data processing and exchange.

Going beyond few-shot action recognition (FSAR), cross-domain FSAR (CDFSAR) has attracted recent research interests by solving the domain gap lying in source-to-target transfer learning. Existing CDFSAR methods mainly focus on joint training of source and target data to mitigate the side effect of domain gap. However, such kind of methods suffer from two limitations: First, pair-wise joint training requires retraining deep models in case of one source data and multiple target ones, which incurs heavy computation cost, especially for large source and small target data. Second, pre-trained models after joint training are adopted to target domain in a straightforward manner, hardly taking full potential of pre-trained models and then limiting recognition performance. To overcome above limitations, this paper proposes a simple yet effective baseline, namely Temporal-Aware Model Tuning (TAMT) for CDFSAR. Specifically, our TAMT involves a decoupled paradigm by performing pre-training on source data and fine-tuning target data, which avoids retraining for multiple target data with single source. To effectively and efficiently explore the potential of pre-trained models in transferring to target domain, our TAMT proposes a Hierarchical Temporal Tuning Network (HTTN), whose core involves local temporal-aware adapters (TAA) and a global temporal-aware moment tuning (GTMT). Particularly, TAA learns few parameters to recalibrate the intermediate features of frozen pre-trained models, enabling efficient adaptation to target domains. Furthermore, GTMT helps to generate powerful video representations, improving match performance on the target domain. Experiments on several widely used video benchmarks show our TAMT outperforms the recently proposed counterparts by 13%$\sim$31%, achieving new state-of-the-art CDFSAR results.
