The rapid evolution of multimedia technology has revolutionized human perception, paving the way for multi-view learning. However, traditional multi-view learning approaches are tailored for scenarios with fixed data views, falling short of emulating the intricate cognitive procedures of the human brain processing signals sequentially. Our cerebral architecture seamlessly integrates sequential data through intricate feed-forward and feedback mechanisms. In stark contrast, traditional methods struggle to generalize effectively when confronted with data spanning diverse domains, highlighting the need for innovative strategies that can mimic the brain's adaptability and dynamic integration capabilities. In this paper, we propose a bio-neurologically inspired multi-view incremental framework named MVIL aimed at emulating the brain's fine-grained fusion of sequentially arriving views. MVIL lies two fundamental modules: structured Hebbian plasticity and synaptic partition learning. The structured Hebbian plasticity reshapes the structure of weights to express the high correlation between view representations, facilitating a fine-grained fusion of view representations. Moreover, synaptic partition learning is efficient in alleviating drastic changes in weights and also retaining old knowledge by inhibiting partial synapses. These modules bionically play a central role in reinforcing crucial associations between newly acquired information and existing knowledge repositories, thereby enhancing the network's capacity for generalization. Experimental results on six benchmark datasets show MVIL's effectiveness over state-of-the-art methods.

Considering the importance of capturing both global conversational topics and local speaker dependencies for multimodal emotion recognition in conversations, current approaches first utilize sequence models like Transformer to extract global context information, then apply Graph Neural Networks to model local speaker dependencies for local context information extraction, coupled with Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) to enhance node representation learning. However, this sequential design introduces potential biases: the extracted global context information inevitably influences subsequent processing, compromising the independence and diversity of the original local features; current graph augmentation methods in GCL cannot consider both global and local context information in conversations to evaluate the node importance, hindering the learning of key information. Inspired by the human brain excels at handling complex tasks by efficiently integrating local and global information processing mechanisms, we propose an aligned global-local context fusion framework for sequence-based design to address these problems. This design includes a dual-attention Transformer and a dual-evaluation method for graph augmentation in GCL. The dual-attention Transformer combines global attention for overall context extraction with sliding-window attention for local context capture, both enhanced by spiking neuron dynamics. The dual-evaluation method in GCL comprises global importance evaluation to identify nodes crucial for overall conversation context, and local importance evaluation to detect nodes significant for local semantics, generating augmented graph views that preserve both global and local information. This approach ensures balanced information processing throughout the pipeline, enhancing biological plausibility and achieving superior emotion recognition.

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) such as OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek-R1 have shown remarkable reasoning capabilities by scaling test-time compute and generating long Chain-of-Thought (CoT). Distillation post-training on LRMs-generated data is a straightforward yet effective method to enhance the reasoning abilities of smaller models, but faces a critical bottleneck: we found that distilled long CoT data poses learning difficulty for small models and leads to the inheritance of biases (i.e., formalistic long-time thinking) when using Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods. To alleviate this bottleneck, we propose constructing data from scratch using Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). We then exploit a set of CoT-aware approaches, including Thoughts Length Balance, Fine-grained DPO, and Joint Post-training Objective, to enhance SFT and RL on the MCTS data. We conducted evaluation on various benchmarks such as math (GSM8K, MATH, AIME). instruction-following (Multi-IF) and planning (Blocksworld), results demonstrate our CoT-aware approaches substantially improve the reasoning performance of distilled models compared to standard distilled models via reducing the hallucinations in long-time thinking.

Achieving real-time, remote control and precise localization of early gastric cancer (EGC) lesions in endoscopic capsules is a significant obstacle in biomedical imaging development. This work outlines an innovative integrated system that uses an effective combination of Zynq UltraScale+ and Gizwits IoT to overcome this challenge. Our work employs a fully convolutional neural network underpinning grid-search clustering-driven multi-modals gating information local patch learning (GS-MGIF-LPLs). This system, designed as an adaptive location computing acceleration platform (ACAP), elegantly marries a double threshold fast search strategy with patch-based FCNN, fueling efficient training, testing, and performance metrics with an accuracy of 99.53%, precision coefficient of 86.06%, and an IoU of 84.26%. Upon benchmarking against four EGC types, our GS-MGIF-LPLs model demonstrates exceptional superiority against five established methods, providing a significant stride in computational efficiency and diagnostic advancements for gastrointestinal diseases.
