A Case for Agentic Tuning: From Documentation to Action in PostgreSQL

Documentation has long guided computer system tuning by distilling expert knowledge into per-parameter recommendations. Yet such guides capture only what experts conclude, discarding how they reason. This fundamental gap manifests in three concrete deficiencies: documentation grows stale as software evolves, fails under heterogeneous workloads, and ignores inter-parameter dependencies. We propose shifting from static documentation to dynamic action for system tuning. We introduce PerfEvolve, which translates expert tuning methodologies into executable skills that equip LLM-based agents to perform version-consistency verification, workload-specific profiling, and multi-parameter joint optimization. Evaluated on PostgreSQL under TPC-C and TPC-H benchmarks, PerfEvolve outperforms state-of-the-art documentation-driven tuning baselines by up to 35.2%. The tool is available at https://github.com/ISCAS-OSLab/PerfEvolve.

Feature Slice Matching for Precise Bug Detection

Measuring the function similarity to detect bugs is effective, but the statements unrelated to the bugs can impede the performance due to the noise interference. Suppressing the noise interference in existing works does not manage the tough job, i.e., eliminating the noise in the targets. In this paper, we propose MATUS to mitigate the target noise for precise bug detection based on similarity measurement. Feature slices are extracted from both the buggy query and the targets to represent the semantic feature of (potential) bug logics. In particular, MATUS guides the target slicing with the prior knowledge from the buggy code, in an end-to-end way to pinpoint the slicing criterion in the targets. All feature slices are embedded and compared based on the vector similarity. Buggy candidates are audited to confirm unknown bugs in the targets. Experiments show that MATUS holds advantages in bug detection for real-world projects with acceptable efficiency. In total, MATUS has spotted 31 unknown bugs in the Linux kernel. All of them have been confirmed by the kernel developers, and 11 have been assigned CVEs.

ECSAS: Exploring Critical Scenarios from Action Sequence in Autonomous Driving

Critical scenario generation requires the ability of sampling critical combinations from the infinite parameter space in the logic scenario. Existing solutions aim to explore the correlation of action parameters in the initial scenario rather than action sequences. How to model action sequences so that one can further consider the effects of different action parameters in the scenario is the bottleneck of the problem. In this paper, we attack the problem by proposing the ECSAS framework. Specifically, we first propose a description language, BTScenario, allowing us to model action sequences of the scenarios. We then use reinforcement learning to search for combinations of critical action parameters. To increase efficiency, we further propose several optimizations, including action masking and replay buffer. We have implemented ECSAS, and experimental results show that it is more efficient than native approaches such as random and combination testing in various nontrivial scenarios.

Multi-Granularity Alignment Domain Adaptation for Object Detection

Domain adaptive object detection is challenging due to distinctive data distribution between source domain and target domain. In this paper, we propose a unified multi-granularity alignment based object detection framework towards domain-invariant feature learning. To this end, we encode the dependencies across different granularity perspectives including pixel-, instance-, and category-levels simultaneously to align two domains. Based on pixel-level feature maps from the backbone network, we first develop the omni-scale gated fusion module to aggregate discriminative representations of instances by scale-aware convolutions, leading to robust multi-scale object detection. Meanwhile, the multi-granularity discriminators are proposed to identify which domain different granularities of samples(i.e., pixels, instances, and categories) come from. Notably, we leverage not only the instance discriminability in different categories but also the category consistency between two domains. Extensive experiments are carried out on multiple domain adaptation scenarios, demonstrating the effectiveness of our framework over state-of-the-art algorithms on top of anchor-free FCOS and anchor-based Faster RCNN detectors with different backbones.

Attention Convolutional Binary Neural Tree for Fine-Grained Visual Categorization

Fine-grained visual categorization (FGVC) is an important but challenging task due to high intra-class variances and low inter-class variances caused by deformation, occlusion, illumination, etc. An attention convolutional binary neural tree architecture is presented to address those problems for weakly supervised FGVC. Specifically, we incorporate convolutional operations along edges of the tree structure, and use the routing functions in each node to determine the root-to-leaf computational paths within the tree. The final decision is computed as the summation of the predictions from leaf nodes. The deep convolutional operations learn to capture the representations of objects, and the tree structure characterizes the coarse-to-fine hierarchical feature learning process. In addition, we use the attention transformer module to enforce the network to capture discriminative features. The negative log-likelihood loss is used to train the entire network in an end-to-end fashion by SGD with back-propagation. Several experiments on the CUB-200-2011, Stanford Cars and Aircraft datasets demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against the state-of-the-arts.

SiamMan: Siamese Motion-aware Network for Visual Tracking

In this paper, we present a novel siamese motion-aware network (SiamMan) for visual tracking, which consists of the siamese feature extraction subnetwork, followed by the classification, regression, and localization branches in parallel. The classification branch is used to distinguish the foreground from background, and the regression branch is adopt to regress the bounding box of target. To reduce the impact of manually designed anchor boxes to adapt to different target motion patterns, we design the localization branch, which aims to coarsely localize the target to help the regression branch to generate accurate results. Meanwhile, we introduce the global context module into the localization branch to capture long-range dependency for more robustness in large displacement of target. In addition, we design a multi-scale learnable attention module to guide these three branches to exploit discriminative features for better performance. The whole network is trained offline in an end-to-end fashion with large-scale image pairs using the standard SGD algorithm with back-propagation. Extensive experiments on five challenging benchmarks, i.e., VOT2016, VOT2018, OTB100, UAV123 and LTB35, demonstrate that SiamMan achieves leading accuracy with high efficiency.

Spatial Attention Pyramid Network for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Unsupervised domain adaptation is critical in various computer vision tasks, such as object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation, which aims to alleviate performance degradation caused by domain-shift. Most of previous methods rely on a single-mode distribution of source and target domains to align them with adversarial learning, leading to inferior results in various scenarios. To that end, in this paper, we design a new spatial attention pyramid network for unsupervised domain adaptation. Specifically, we first build the spatial pyramid representation to capture context information of objects at different scales. Guided by the task-specific information, we combine the dense global structure representation and local texture patterns at each spatial location effectively using the spatial attention mechanism. In this way, the network is enforced to focus on the discriminative regions with context information for domain adaption. We conduct extensive experiments on various challenging datasets for unsupervised domain adaptation on object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation, which demonstrates that our method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin. Our source code is available at https://isrc.iscas.ac.cn/gitlab/research/domain-adaption.

Towards Interpretable and Robust Hand Detection via Pixel-wise Prediction

The lack of interpretability of existing CNN-based hand detection methods makes it difficult to understand the rationale behind their predictions. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model, which introduces interpretability into hand detection for the first time. The main improvements include: (1) Detect hands at pixel level to explain what pixels are the basis for its decision and improve transparency of the model. (2) The explainable Highlight Feature Fusion block highlights distinctive features among multiple layers and learns discriminative ones to gain robust performance. (3) We introduce a transparent representation, the rotation map, to learn rotation features instead of complex and non-transparent rotation and derotation layers. (4) Auxiliary supervision accelerates the training process, which saves more than 10 hours in our experiments. Experimental results on the VIVA and Oxford hand detection and tracking datasets show competitive accuracy of our method compared with state-of-the-art methods with higher speed.

Scale Invariant Fully Convolutional Network: Detecting Hands Efficiently

Existing hand detection methods usually follow the pipeline of multiple stages with high computation cost, i.e., feature extraction, region proposal, bounding box regression, and additional layers for rotated region detection. In this paper, we propose a new Scale Invariant Fully Convolutional Network (SIFCN) trained in an end-to-end fashion to detect hands efficiently. Specifically, we merge the feature maps from high to low layers in an iterative way, which handles different scales of hands better with less time overhead comparing to concatenating them simply. Moreover, we develop the Complementary Weighted Fusion (CWF) block to make full use of the distinctive features among multiple layers to achieve scale invariance. To deal with rotated hand detection, we present the rotation map to get rid of complex rotation and derotation layers. Besides, we design the multi-scale loss scheme to accelerate the training process significantly by adding supervision to the intermediate layers of the network. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our algorithm shows comparable accuracy and runs a 4.23 times faster speed on the VIVA dataset and achieves better average precision on Oxford hand detection dataset at a speed of 62.5 fps.
