Class prototype construction and matching are core aspects of few-shot action recognition. Previous methods mainly focus on designing spatiotemporal relation modeling modules or complex temporal alignment algorithms. Despite the promising results, they ignored the value of class prototype construction and matching, leading to unsatisfactory performance in recognizing similar categories in every task. In this paper, we propose GgHM, a new framework with Graph-guided Hybrid Matching. Concretely, we learn task-oriented features by the guidance of a graph neural network during class prototype construction, optimizing the intra- and inter-class feature correlation explicitly. Next, we design a hybrid matching strategy, combining frame-level and tuple-level matching to classify videos with multivariate styles. We additionally propose a learnable dense temporal modeling module to enhance the video feature temporal representation to build a more solid foundation for the matching process. GgHM shows consistent improvements over other challenging baselines on several few-shot datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method. The code will be publicly available at https://github.com/jiazheng-xing/GgHM.

Few-shot object detection (FSOD) aims to extract semantic knowledge from limited object instances of novel categories within a target domain. Recent advances in FSOD focus on fine-tuning the base model based on a few objects via meta-learning or data augmentation. Despite their success, the majority of them are grounded with parametric readjustment to generalize on novel objects, which face considerable challenges in Industry 5.0, such as (i) a certain amount of fine-tuning time is required, and (ii) the parameters of the constructed model being unavailable due to the privilege protection, making the fine-tuning fail. Such constraints naturally limit its application in scenarios with real-time configuration requirements or within black-box settings. To tackle the challenges mentioned above, we formalize a novel FSOD task, referred to as Test TIme Few Shot DEtection (TIDE), where the model is un-tuned in the configuration procedure. To that end, we introduce an asymmetric architecture for learning a support-instance-guided dynamic category classifier. Further, a cross-attention module and a multi-scale resizer are provided to enhance the model performance. Experimental results on multiple few-shot object detection platforms reveal that the proposed TIDE significantly outperforms existing contemporary methods. The implementation codes are available at https://github.com/deku-0621/TIDE

Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is critical in computer vision. Existing LLIE methods often fail to discover the underlying relationships between different sub-components, causing the loss of complementary information between multiple modules and network layers, ultimately resulting in the loss of image details. To beat this shortage, we design a hierarchical mutual Enhancement via a Cross Attention transformer (ECAFormer), which introduces an architecture that enables concurrent propagation and interaction of multiple features. The model preserves detailed information by introducing a Dual Multi-head self-attention (DMSA), which leverages visual and semantic features across different scales, allowing them to guide and complement each other. Besides, a Cross-Scale DMSA block is introduced to capture the residual connection, integrating cross-layer information to further enhance image detail. Experimental results show that ECAFormer reaches competitive performance across multiple benchmarks, yielding nearly a 3% improvement in PSNR over the suboptimal method, demonstrating the effectiveness of information interaction in LLIE.
