Detecting 3D landmarks on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is crucial to assessing and quantifying the anatomical abnormalities in 3D cephalometric analysis. However, the current methods are time-consuming and suffer from large biases in landmark localization, leading to unreliable diagnosis results. In this work, we propose a novel Structure-Aware Long Short-Term Memory framework (SA-LSTM) for efficient and accurate 3D landmark detection. To reduce the computational burden, SA-LSTM is designed in two stages. It first locates the coarse landmarks via heatmap regression on a down-sampled CBCT volume and then progressively refines landmarks by attentive offset regression using high-resolution cropped patches. To boost accuracy, SA-LSTM captures global-local dependence among the cropping patches via self-attention. Specifically, a graph attention module implicitly encodes the landmarks global structure to rationalize the predicted position. Furthermore, a novel attention-gated module recursively filters irrelevant local features and maintains high-confident local predictions for aggregating the final result. Experiments show that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy on an in-house dataset and a public dataset, achieving 1.64 mm and 2.37 mm average errors, respectively, and using only 0.5 seconds for inferring the whole CBCT volume of resolution 768*768*576. Moreover, all predicted landmarks are within 8 mm error, which is vital for acceptable cephalometric analysis.

Spatial and temporal relationships, both short-range and long-range, between objects in videos, are key cues for recognizing actions. It is a challenging problem to model them jointly. In this paper, we first present a new variant of Long Short-Term Memory, namely Relational LSTM, to address the challenge of relation reasoning across space and time between objects. In our Relational LSTM module, we utilize a non-local operation similar in spirit to the recently proposed non-local network to substitute the fully connected operation in the vanilla LSTM. By doing this, our Relational LSTM is capable of capturing long and short-range spatio-temporal relations between objects in videos in a principled way. Then, we propose a two-branch neural architecture consisting of the Relational LSTM module as the non-local branch and a spatio-temporal pooling based local branch. The local branch is utilized for capturing local spatial appearance and/or short-term motion features. The two branches are concatenated to learn video-level features from snippet-level ones which are then used for classification. Experimental results on UCF-101 and HMDB-51 datasets show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results among LSTM-based methods, while obtaining comparable performance with other state-of-the-art methods (which use not directly comparable schema). Further, on the more complex large-scale Charades dataset, we obtain a large 3.2% gain over state-of-the-art methods, verifying the effectiveness of our method in complex understanding.
In this paper, we present Long Short-term TRansformer (LSTR), a new temporal modeling algorithm for online action detection, by employing a long- and short-term memories mechanism that is able to model prolonged sequence data. It consists of an LSTR encoder that is capable of dynamically exploiting coarse-scale historical information from an extensively long time window (e.g., 2048 long-range frames of up to 8 minutes), together with an LSTR decoder that focuses on a short time window (e.g., 32 short-range frames of 8 seconds) to model the fine-scale characterization of the ongoing event. Compared to prior work, LSTR provides an effective and efficient method to model long videos with less heuristic algorithm design. LSTR achieves significantly improved results on standard online action detection benchmarks, THUMOS14, TVSeries, and HACS Segment, over the existing state-of-the-art approaches. Extensive empirical analysis validates the setup of the long- and short-term memories and the design choices of LSTR.
A reliable forecast of inflows to the reservoir is a key factor in the optimal operation of reservoirs. Real-time operation of the reservoir based on forecasts of inflows can lead to substantial economic gains. However, the forecast of inflow is an intricate task as it has to incorporate the impacts of climate and hydrological changes. Therefore, the major objective of the present work is to develop a novel approach based on long short-term memory (LSTM) for the forecast of inflows. Real-time inflow forecast, in other words, daily inflow at the reservoir helps in efficient operation of water resources. Also, daily variations in the release can be monitored efficiently and the reliability of operation is improved. This work proposes a naive anomaly detection algorithm baseline based on LSTM. In other words, a strong baseline to forecast flood and drought for any deep learning-based prediction model. The practicality of the approach has been demonstrated using the observed daily data of the past 20 years from Bhakra Dam in India. The results of the simulations conducted herein clearly indicate the supremacy of the LSTM approach over the traditional methods of forecasting. Although, experiments are run on data from Bhakra Dam Reservoir in India, LSTM model, and anomaly detection algorithm are general purpose and can be applied to any basin with minimal changes. A distinct practical advantage of the LSTM method presented herein is that it can adequately simulate non-stationarity and non-linearity in the historical data.
We investigate a new method to augment recurrent neural networks with extra memory without increasing the number of network parameters. The system has an associative memory based on complex-valued vectors and is closely related to Holographic Reduced Representations and Long Short-Term Memory networks. Holographic Reduced Representations have limited capacity: as they store more information, each retrieval becomes noisier due to interference. Our system in contrast creates redundant copies of stored information, which enables retrieval with reduced noise. Experiments demonstrate faster learning on multiple memorization tasks.
Action detection plays an important role in high-level video understanding and media interpretation. Many existing studies fulfill this spatio-temporal localization by modeling the context, capturing the relationship of actors, objects, and scenes conveyed in the video. However, they often universally treat all the actors without considering the consistency and distinctness between individuals, leaving much room for improvement. In this paper, we explicitly highlight the identity information of the actors in terms of both long-term and short-term context through a graph memory network, namely identity-aware graph memory network (IGMN). Specifically, we propose the hierarchical graph neural network (HGNN) to comprehensively conduct long-term relation modeling within the same identity as well as between different ones. Regarding short-term context, we develop a dual attention module (DAM) to generate identity-aware constraint to reduce the influence of interference by the actors of different identities. Extensive experiments on the challenging AVA dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, which achieves state-of-the-art results on AVA v2.1 and v2.2.
