• Authors: Hongyu Li, Jihe Wang, Yu Zhang, Zirui Wang, and Tiejun Wang
• Abstract summary: We find that automatic crack detectors based on deep learning are obviously underestimated by the widely used mean Average Precision (mAP) standard. As a solution, a fractal-available evaluation standard named CovEval is proposed to correct the underestimation in crack detection. In experiments using several common frameworks for object detection, models get much higher scores in crack detection according to CovEval.

• Abstract: A reasonable evaluation standard underlies construction of effective deep learning models. However, we find in experiments that the automatic crack detectors based on deep learning are obviously underestimated by the widely used mean Average Precision (mAP) standard. This paper presents a study on the evaluation standard. It is clarified that the random fractal of crack disables the mAP standard, because the strict box matching in mAP calculation is unreasonable for the fractal feature. As a solution, a fractal-available evaluation standard named CovEval is proposed to correct the underestimation in crack detection. In CovEval, a different matching process based on the idea of covering box matching is adopted for this issue. In detail, Cover Area rate (CAr) is designed as a covering overlap, and a multi-match strategy is employed to release the one-to-one matching restriction in mAP. Extended Recall (XR), Extended Precision (XP) and Extended F-score (Fext) are defined for scoring the crack detectors. In experiments using several common frameworks for object detection, models get much higher scores in crack detection according to CovEval, which matches better with the visual performance. Moreover, based on faster R-CNN framework, we present a case study to optimize a crack detector based on CovEval standard. Recall (XR) of our best model achieves an industrial-level at 95.8, which implies that with reasonable standard for evaluation, the methods for object detection are with great potential for automatic industrial inspection.

  Adversarial Contrastive Prompt Tuning (ACPT) is proposed to fine-tune the CLIP image encoder to extract similar embeddings for any two intermediate adversarial queries. We show that ACPT can detect 7 state-of-the-art query-based attacks with $>99%$ detection rate within 5 shots. We also show that ACPT is robust to 3 types of adaptive attacks.

  Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to discover novel categories in unlabelled datasets using knowledge learned from labelled samples. We investigate the failure of parametric classifiers, verify the effectiveness of previous design choices when high-quality supervision is available, and identify unreliable pseudo-labels as a key problem. We propose a simple yet effective parametric classification method that benefits from entropy regularisation, achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple GCD benchmarks and shows strong robustness to unknown class numbers.

  Empirical risk minimization (ERM) is the workhorse of machine learning, but its model-agnostic guarantees can fail when we use adaptively collected data. We study a generic importance sampling weighted ERM algorithm for using adaptively collected data to minimize the average of a loss function over a hypothesis class. For policy learning, we provide rate-optimal regret guarantees that close an open gap in the existing literature whenever exploration decays to zero.

  Malicious users can upload data to prevent the model's convergence or inject hidden backdoors. Backdoor attacks are especially difficult to detect since the model behaves normally on standard test data but gives wrong outputs when triggered by certain backdoor keys. We propose a novel framework that generalizes existing subset aggregation methods.
