Audio and visual signals complement each other in human speech perception, and the same applies to automatic speech recognition. The visual signal is less evident than the acoustic signal, but more robust in a complex acoustic environment, as far as speech perception is concerned. 

Conventional fine-tuning encounters increasing difficulties given the size of current Pre-trained Language Models, which makes parameter-efficient tuning become the focal point of frontier research. Recent advances in this field is the unified tuning methods that aim to tune the representations of both multi-head attention (MHA) and fully connected feed-forward network (FFN) simultaneously, but they rely on existing tuning methods and do not explicitly model domain knowledge for downstream tasks.

Existing High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) selective encryption algorithms only consider the encoding characteristics of syntax elements to keep format compliance, but ignore the semantic features of video content, which may lead to unnecessary computational and bit rate costs. To tackle this problem, we present a content-aware tunable selective encryption (CATSE) scheme for HEVC. First, a deep hashing network is adopted to retrieve groups of pictures (GOPs) containing sensitive objects.

Image set compression (ISC) refers to compressing the sets of semantically similar images. Traditional ISC methods typically aim to eliminate redundancy among images at either signal or frequency domain, but often struggle to handle complex geometric deformations across different images effectively.
