Teaching Tailored to Talent: Adverse Weather Restoration via Prompt Pool and Depth-Anything Constraint

Sixiang Chen, Tian Ye, Kai Zhang et al.

Recent advancements in adverse weather restoration have shown potential, yet the unpredictable and varied combinations of weather degradations in the real world pose significant challenges. Previous methods typically struggle with dynamically handling intricate degradation combinations and carrying on background reconstruction precisely, leading to performance and generalization limitations. Drawing inspiration from prompt learning and the "Teaching Tailored to Talent" concept, we introduce a novel pipeline, T3-DiffWeather. Specifically, we employ a prompt pool that allows the network to autonomously combine sub-prompts to construct weather-prompts, harnessing the necessary attributes to adaptively tackle unforeseen weather input. Moreover, from a scene modeling perspective, we incorporate general prompts constrained by Depth-Anything feature to provide the scene-specific condition for the diffusion process. Furthermore, by incorporating contrastive prompt loss, we ensures distinctive representations for both types of prompts by a mutual pushing strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance across various synthetic and real-world datasets, markedly outperforming existing diffusion techniques in terms of computational efficiency.

Nested Deep Learning Model Towards A Foundation Model for Brain Signal Data

Fangyi Wei, Jiajie Mo, Kai Zhang et al.

Epilepsy affects around 50 million people globally. Electroencephalography (EEG) or Magnetoencephalography (MEG) based spike detection plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. Manual spike identification is time-consuming and requires specialized training that further limits the number of qualified professionals. To ease the difficulty, various algorithmic approaches have been developed. However, the existing methods face challenges in handling varying channel configurations and in identifying the specific channels where the spikes originate. A novel Nested Deep Learning (NDL) framework is proposed to overcome these limitations. NDL applies a weighted combination of signals across all channels, ensuring adaptability to different channel setups, and allows clinicians to identify key channels more accurately. Through theoretical analysis and empirical validation on real EEG/MEG datasets, NDL is shown to improve prediction accuracy, achieve channel localization, support cross-modality data integration, and adapt to various neurophysiological applications.
