Multi-proposal Collaboration and Multi-task Training for Weakly-supervised Video Moment Retrieval

This study focuses on weakly-supervised Video Moment Retrieval (VMR), aiming to identify a moment semantically similar to the given query within an untrimmed video using only video-level correspondences, without relying on temporal annotations during training. Previous methods either aggregate predictions for all instances in the video, or indirectly address the task by proposing reconstructions for the query. However, these methods often produce low-quality temporal proposals, struggle with distinguishing misaligned moments in the same video, or lack stability due to a reliance on a single auxiliary task. To address these limitations, we present a novel weakly-supervised method called Multi-proposal Collaboration and Multi-task Training (MCMT). Initially, we generate multiple proposals and derive corresponding learnable Gaussian masks from them. These masks are then combined to create a high-quality positive sample mask, highlighting video clips most relevant to the query. Concurrently, we classify other clips in the same video as the easy negative sample and the entire video as the hard negative sample. During training, we introduce forward and inverse masked query reconstruction tasks to impose more substantial constraints on the network, promoting more robust and stable retrieval performance. Extensive experiments on two standard benchmarks affirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in VMR.

Static and Dynamic Graph Alignment Network for Temporal Video Grounding

Temporal Video Grounding (TVG) aims to localize temporal moments in an untrimmed video that semantically correspond to given natural language queries. Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) have been widely adopted in TVG to model temporal relations among video clips and enhance contextual reasoning by constructing clip-level graphs. Despite their effectiveness, existing GCN-based TVG methods encounter three critical bottlenecks: 1) Most methods construct graph nodes using either static or dynamic features alone, resulting in incomplete visual representation and overlooking complementary semantics, 2) Most methods construct temporal graphs in a query-agnostic manner, leading to inefficient feature interaction within the temporal graph representation, and 3) Most methods often suffer from a single-granularity semantic matching, while direct training on complex temporal localization task may lead to slow convergence and suboptimal precision. To address these challenges, we propose Static and Dynamic Graph Alignment Network (SDGAN). First, SDGAN jointly exploits static and dynamic visual features to construct two complementary temporal graphs and performs Position-wise Nodes Alignment, enabling more expressive and robust visual representation. Second, SDGAN introduces Query-Clip Contrastive Learning and Adaptive Graph Modeling to explicitly align visual clips with their corresponding textual queries, yielding query-aware visual representations. Third, SDGAN incorporates multi-granularity temporal proposals within Progressive Easy-to-Hard Training Strategy, effectively bridging coarse-grained semantic localization and fine-grained temporal boundary refinement. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that SDGAN achieves superior performance across complex TVG scenarios. Codes and datasets are available at https://github.com/ZhanJieHu/SDGAN.

A Novel Approach for Pill-Prescription Matching with GNN Assistance and Contrastive Learning

Medication mistaking is one of the risks that can result in unpredictable consequences for patients. To mitigate this risk, we develop an automatic system that correctly identifies pill-prescription from mobile images. Specifically, we define a so-called pill-prescription matching task, which attempts to match the images of the pills taken with the pills' names in the prescription. We then propose PIMA, a novel approach using Graph Neural Network (GNN) and contrastive learning to address the targeted problem. In particular, GNN is used to learn the spatial correlation between the text boxes in the prescription and thereby highlight the text boxes carrying the pill names. In addition, contrastive learning is employed to facilitate the modeling of cross-modal similarity between textual representations of pill names and visual representations of pill images. We conducted extensive experiments and demonstrated that PIMA outperforms baseline models on a real-world dataset of pill and prescription images that we constructed. Specifically, PIMA improves the accuracy from 19.09% to 46.95% compared to other baselines. We believe our work can open up new opportunities to build new clinical applications and improve medication safety and patient care.

Off-resonant coherent electron transport over three nanometers in multi-heme protein bioelectronic junctions

Multi-heme cytochromes (MHC) are fascinating proteins used by bacterial organisms to shuttle electrons within and between their cells. When placed in a solid state electronic junction, they support temperature-independent currents over several nanometers that are three orders of magnitude higher compared to other redox proteins of comparable size. To gain microscopic insight into their astonishingly high conductivities, we present herein the first current-voltage calculations of its kind, for a MHC sandwiched between two Au(111) electrodes, complemented by photo-emission spectroscopy experiments. We find that conduction proceeds via off-resonant coherent tunneling mediated by a large number of protein valence-band orbitals that are strongly delocalized over heme and protein residues, effectively "gating" the current between the two electrodes. This picture is profoundly different from the dominant electron hopping mechanism supported by the same protein in aqueous solution. Our results imply that current output in MHC junctions could be even further increased in the resonant regime, e.g. by application of a gate voltage, making these proteins extremely interesting for next-generation bionanoelectronic devices.
