A Study on the Current Situation of English Teaching in Compulsory Education and Countermeasures
The purpose of this paper is to study the current situation and existing problems of English teaching in China's compulsory education stage, and to propose corresponding countermeasures. By analysing the current syllabus, curriculum, teaching objectives and contents, teaching methods and means, teaching evaluation and feedback, this paper finds that there are problems such as insufficient students’ interest in learning, teachers’ professional qualities and teaching abilities need to be improved, uneven distribution of educational resources, and high social and parental expectations of English education. Aiming at these problems, this paper puts forward countermeasure suggestions such as optimising curriculum and teaching content, improving teaching methods and means, improving teacher training and quality enhancement, strengthening the integration and distribution of educational resources, and adjusting social and parental expectations of education. It is hoped that the research in this paper can provide certain reference and learnings for the reform of English education in China’s compulsory education stage
Visual Object Tracking Using Deep Similarity Networks
Le suivi d’objets est une des tâches fondamentales de la vision par ordinateur. Étant donné une cible initiale dans la première trame, l’objectif du suivi est de trouver la nouvelle position de la cible dans les trames subséquentes. Les filtres de corrélation est une technique largement
utilisée dans les applications de reconnaissance de formes pour mettre en correspondance des objets. Ainsi, de nombreuses méthodes de suivi sont basées sur les filtres de corrélation. Bien que ces méthodes de suivi atteignent un bon compromis entre la précision et la vitesse de suivi, leurs performances sont limitées par l’utilisation de caractéristiques d’apparence définies manuellement. Récemment, les méthodes d’apprentissage profond ont démontré des résultats impressionnants dans diverses tâches de vision par ordinateur. De ce fait, un grand nombre de méthodes de suivi basées sur l’apprentissage profond ont été proposées pour améliorer la robustesse et la capacité à discriminer les objets durant le suivi. Cependant, la représentation
des caractéristiques de la cible par un seul réseau neuronal convolutif (RNC) n’est souvent pas assez discriminante. De plus, l’architecture du RNC doit être choisie avec soins pour réduire le temps de calcul lors du suivi. Dans notre travail, nous avons exploré différentes méthodes pour améliorer le pouvoir discriminant d’un RNC pour le suivi d’un objet. Nous avons proposé deux méthodes de suivi, MBST (Multi-Branch Siamese Tracker) et MFST (Multiple Features-Siamese Tracker). Les deux méthodes sont basées sur des RNC avec une architecture siamoise. Cette architecture définit le suivi comme un problème d’apprentissage par similarité. ----------ABSTRACT : In this thesis, we study visual object tracking using deep similarity networks. Visual object
tracking is a fundamental task in computer vision. Many approaches based on correlation filters and deep learning have been proposed to solve this problem. Inspired by deep
learning-based methods, we exploit the siamese network model to address object tracking, by formulating tracking as a similarity learning problem. Most deep learning methods only use features extracted from the last convolutional layer of
a single model which lead their tracker to be prone to fail when target appearance changes significantly. Different features extracted from different convolutional models encode the target object in different ways. Trackers with diverse feature representations can be adapted more easily to challenging scenarios. Besides, the discriminative power of features from the last convolutional layer is very limited. Since convolutional features from different layers
contain different levels of abstraction of the target object, discovering an appropriate scheme to fuse hierarchical features is also beneficial for tracking
Multi-Branch Siamese Networks with Online Selection for Object Tracking
In this paper, we propose a robust object tracking algorithm based on a
branch selection mechanism to choose the most efficient object representations
from multi-branch siamese networks. While most deep learning trackers use a
single CNN for target representation, the proposed Multi-Branch Siamese Tracker
(MBST) employs multiple branches of CNNs pre-trained for different tasks, and
used for various target representations in our tracking method. With our branch
selection mechanism, the appropriate CNN branch is selected depending on the
target characteristics in an online manner. By using the most adequate target
representation with respect to the tracked object, our method achieves
real-time tracking, while obtaining improved performance compared to standard
Siamese network trackers on object tracking benchmarks.Comment: ISVC2018, oral presentatio
HA-HI: Synergising fMRI and DTI through Hierarchical Alignments and Hierarchical Interactions for Mild Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis
Early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive
decline (SCD) utilizing multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a
pivotal area of research. While various regional and connectivity features from
functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have been employed to
develop diagnosis models, most studies integrate these features without
adequately addressing their alignment and interactions. This limits the
potential to fully exploit the synergistic contributions of combined features
and modalities. To solve this gap, our study introduces a novel Hierarchical
Alignments and Hierarchical Interactions (HA-HI) method for MCI and SCD
classification, leveraging the combined strengths of fMRI and DTI. HA-HI
efficiently learns significant MCI- or SCD- related regional and connectivity
features by aligning various feature types and hierarchically maximizing their
interactions. Furthermore, to enhance the interpretability of our approach, we
have developed the Synergistic Activation Map (SAM) technique, revealing the
critical brain regions and connections that are indicative of MCI/SCD.
Comprehensive evaluations on the ADNI dataset and our self-collected data
demonstrate that HA-HI outperforms other existing methods in diagnosing MCI and
SCD, making it a potentially vital and interpretable tool for early detection.
The implementation of this method is publicly accessible at

Relation-aware Ensemble Learning for Knowledge Graph Embedding
Knowledge graph (KG) embedding is a fundamental task in natural language
processing, and various methods have been proposed to explore semantic patterns
in distinctive ways. In this paper, we propose to learn an ensemble by
leveraging existing methods in a relation-aware manner. However, exploring
these semantics using relation-aware ensemble leads to a much larger search
space than general ensemble methods. To address this issue, we propose a
divide-search-combine algorithm RelEns-DSC that searches the relation-wise
ensemble weights independently. This algorithm has the same computation cost as
general ensemble methods but with much better performance. Experimental results
on benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in
efficiently searching relation-aware ensemble weights and achieving
state-of-the-art embedding performance. The code is public at
