Practical natural language processing (NLP) tasks are commonly long-tailed with noisy labels. Those problems challenge the generalization and robustness of complex models such as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Some commonly used resampling techniques, such as oversampling or undersampling, could easily lead to overfitting. It is growing popular to learn the data weights leveraging a small amount of metadata. Besides, recent studies have shown the advantages of self-supervised pre-training, particularly to the under-represented data. In this work, we propose a general framework to handle the problem of both long-tail and noisy labels. The model is adapted to the domain of problems in a contrastive learning manner. The re-weighting module is a feed-forward network that learns explicit weighting functions and adapts weights according to metadata. The framework further adapts weights of terms in the loss function through a combination of the polynomial expansion of cross-entropy loss and focal loss. Our extensive experiments show that the proposed framework consistently outperforms baseline methods. Lastly, our sensitive analysis emphasizes the capability of the proposed framework to handle the long-tailed problem and mitigate the negative impact of noisy labels.

Multi-modal fusion is imperative to the implementation of reliable object detection and tracking in complex environments. Exploiting the synergy of heterogeneous modal information endows perception systems the ability to achieve more comprehensive, robust, and accurate performance. As a nucleus concern in wireless-vision collaboration, radar-camera fusion has prompted prospective research directions owing to its extensive applicability, complementarity, and compatibility. Nonetheless, there still lacks a systematic survey specifically focusing on deep fusion of radar and camera for object detection and tracking. To fill this void, we embark on an endeavor to comprehensively review radar-camera fusion in a holistic way. First, we elaborate on the fundamental principles, methodologies, and applications of radar-camera fusion perception. Next, we delve into the key techniques concerning sensor calibration, modal representation, data alignment, and fusion operation. Furthermore, we provide a detailed taxonomy covering the research topics related to object detection and tracking in the context of radar and camera technologies.Finally, we discuss the emerging perspectives in the field of radar-camera fusion perception and highlight the potential areas for future research.
