    查看更多>>摘要:The visual system continuously adapts to the statistical properties of the environment.Existing evidence shows a close re-semblance between deep convolutional neural networks(CNNs)and primate visual stream in neural selectivity to naturalistic textures above the primary visual processing stage.This study delves into the mechanisms of perceptual learning in CNNs,focusing on how they assimilate the high-order statistics of natural textures.Our results show that a CNN model achieves a similar performance improvement as humans,as manifested in the learning pattern across different types of high-order image statistics.While L2 was the first stage exhibiting texture selectivity,we found that stages beyond L2 were critically involved in learning.The significant contribution of L4 to learning was manifested both in the modulations of texture-selective responses and in the consequences of training with frozen connection weights.Our findings highlight learning-dependent plasticity in the mid-to-high-level areas of the visual hierarchy.This research introduces an AI-inspired approach for studying learning-induced cortical plasticity,utilizing DCNNs as an experimental framework to formulate testable predictions for empirical brain studies.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this study,we explored the neural mechanism of global topological perception in the human visual system.We showed strong evidence that the retinotectal pathway in the archicortex of the human brain is responsible for global topological perception,and for modulating the local feature processing in the classical ventral visual pathway.Inspired by this recent cognitive discovery,we developed a novel CogNet architecture to emulate the global-local dichotomy of human visual cognitive mechanisms.The thorough experimental results indicate that the proposed CogNet not only significantly improves image classification accuracies but also effectively addresses the texture bias problem observed in baseline CNN models.We have also conducted mathematical analysis for the generalization gap for general neural networks.Our theoretical derivations suggest that the Hurst parameter,a measure of the curvature of the loss landscape,can closely bind the generalization gap.A larger Hurst parameter corresponds to a better generalization ability.We found that our proposed CogNet achieves a lower test error and attains a larger Hurst parameter,strengthening its superiority over the baseline CNN models further.

    Towards human-leveled vision systems

    查看更多>>摘要:The human visual system is a complex and interconnected network comprising billions of neurons.It plays an essential role in translating environmental light stimuli into information that guides and shapes human perception and action.Research on the vi-sual system aims to uncover the underlying neural structure principles of human visual perception and their possible applications.Currently,there are two main approaches:biological system analysis and simulation,artificial intelligence models based on deep learning.Here we aim to discuss the two approaches to human-level vision systems.Deep learning has significantly impacted the field of vision with achievements in representation,modeling,and hardware design.However,there is still a significant gap between deep learning models and the human visual system in terms of scalability,transferability,and sustainability.The progress of the biological visual system can help fill the gap by further understanding the properties and functions of different components of the system.We take the efforts of reconstructing the retina as an example to illustrate that even if we are unable to replicate the visual system on a computer right now,we can still learn a lot by combining existing research outcomes in neuroscience.At the end of the paper,we suggest tracing back to gradually build visual systems from the computational counterpart of biological structures to achieve a human-level vision system in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:Cancer immunotherapies,which train the natural immune system to specifically kill tumor cells while sparing the healthy cells,have helped revolutionize cancer treatments and demonstrated promising clinical therapeutic benefits for decades.However,the therapeutic outcome of immunotherapies,even for the most successful immune checkpoint blockade(ICB)therapy,remains unsatisfactory in the clinical practice,mainly due to the low immunogenicity of solid tumors and its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment(TME).Notably,several cancer treatment modalities,including chemotherapy,radiotherapy,and photo-therapy,have been revealed to evoke tumor immunogenicity and reverse immunosuppressive TME via inducing immunogenic cell death(ICD)of tumor cells,which synergistically sensitized tumors to ICB therapy.Nanomedicines have been extensively applied to augment ICD-inducing treatment modalities and potentiate ICB therapeutic efficacy therapy due to the opportune convergence of immunotherapy and nanotechnology.Here,we discuss the recent advances in nanomedicine-mediated ICD and its combination with ICB therapy.

    查看更多>>摘要:High-stability thermal management is critical for the measurements of high sensitivity for temperature,but also challenging because any small thermal disturbances could lead to unacceptable temperature fluctuations.The present work delivers a design for passive temperature control,customized for a component in the satellites for gravitational wave detection.A novel sandwich-like structure is proposed with the configurations of proper materials,consisting of a layer of insulation material and two layers of nanocomposite phase change materials,bringing an integration of heat insulation and absorption/storage.Its performance is examined using an improved thermal network model and the revised transfer function method(TFM).The basic results of the two methods are validated by present COMSOL simulations and available numerical and experimental data in the literature.An effective reduction of temperature fluctuation is achieved to the scale of 0.1 K,even under two thermal disturbances from different directions:a radiative heat flux of 20 W m-2(inside)and a temperature fluctuation of about 20 K(outside).Moreover,the TFM is employed to analyze the effects of the frequency of thermal disturbance:excellent damping performance is obtained for over 3.2 mHz and the underlying mechanism is discussed.Overall,the present design is expected to be combined with active temperature control to explore more possible ways for temperature control with higher stability.

    Defect-mode and Fabry-Perot resonance induced multi-band nonreciprocal thermal radiation

    查看更多>>摘要:According to Kirchhoff's radiation law,the spectral-directional absorptivity(a)and spectral-directional emissivity(e)of an object are widely believed to be identical,which places a fundamental limit on photonic energy conversion and management.The introduction of Weyl semimetals and magneto-optical(MO)materials into photonic crystals makes it possible to violate Kirchhoff's law,but most existing work only report the unequal absorptivity and emissivity spectra in a single band,which cannot meet the requirements of most practical applications.Here,we introduce a defect layer into the structure composed of one-dimensional(1D)magnetophotonic crystal and a metal layer,which realizes dual-band nonreciprocal thermal radiation under a 3-T magnetic field with an incident angle of 60°.The realization of dual-band nonreciprocal radiation is mainly due to the Fabry-Perot(FP)resonance occurring in the defect layer and the excitation of Tamm plasmon,which is proved by calculating the magnetic field distribution.In addition,the effects of incident angle and structural parameters on nonreciprocity are also studied.What is more,the number of nonreciprocal bands could be further increased by tuning the defect layer thickness.When the defect layer thickness increases to 18.2 pm,tri-band nonreciprocal thermal radiation is realized due to the enhanced number of defect modes in the photonic band gap and the FP resonance occurring in the defect layer.Finally,the effect of defect location on nonreciprocity is also discussed.The present work provides a new way for the design of multi-band or even broad-band nonreciprocal thermal emitters.
