Understanding and Mitigating Over-refusal for Large Language Models via Safety Representation
Junbo Zhang, Ran Chen, Qianli Zhou, Xinyang Deng, Wen Jiang
We analyze over-refusal in LLMs from a representation perspective, finding such samples lie at the boundary of benign and malicious ones. We propose MOSR with Overlap-Aware Loss Weighting and Context-Aware Augmentation to intervene safety representation. Experiments show we mitigate over-refusal while maintaining safety, offering insights for balancing model safety and over-refusal.

We propose a hybrid framework integrating global-local adversarial training and self-training. We achieve feature alignment via multi-level discriminators, acquire domain-specific knowledge through self-training, and correct pseudo-labels with a self-labeling mechanism, effectively alleviating global-local domain shift for remote sensing image semantic segmentation.

Unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation for agricultural land extraction of remote sensing images
Junbo Zhang, Shifeng Xu, Jun Sun, Dinghua Ou, Xiaobo Wu, Mantao Wang
We adopt unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation for agricultural land extraction. We use Transformer as the generator backbone with a multi-scale feature fusion module, reduce source-target domain gap via GAN, and minimize intra-domain differences by dividing the target domain with an entropy-based method, enabling accurate unsupervised extraction.

Jun Sun*, Junbo Zhang*, Xuesong Gao, Mantao Wang, Dinghua Ou, Xiaobo Wu, Dejun Zhang
We propose an encoder-decoder network fusing spatial and spectral-channel attention, with three fusion strategies to utilize dual attention. We use a hierarchical Transformer in the encoder to extract long-range context, and fuse multi-scale features via upsampling and skip connections in the decoder, improving hyperspectral image classification performance.

To address inaccurate boundary segmentation in heterogeneous croplands, this paper proposes BAFormer, a UNet-like boundary-aware model. It targets high-frequency boundary features by integrating a Feature Adaptive Mixer (FAM) for adaptive feature acquisition and a Depthwise Large Kernel MLP (DWLK-MLP) to supplement positional information via large receptive fields. Evaluations on datasets like Vaihingen demonstrate superior performance, with the lightweight BAFormer-T notably outperforming existing models.

YOLOv7-Plum: advancing plum fruit detection in natural environments with deep learning
Rong Tang, Yujie Lei, Beisiqi Luo, Junbo Zhang, Jiong Mu
We propose YOLOv7-Plum, an improved YOLOv7-based model for plum fruit detection. We construct a dataset of plums in natural environments, introduce CBAM attention, replace CSPSPP with CSPSPPF, and use bilinear interpolation for upsampling, enhancing detection efficiency and accuracy.

Guolun Feng, Zhiyong Li, Junbo Zhang, Mantao Wang
To address low accuracy in VNIR soil prediction models, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) utilizing 2D multi-channel inputs and a multi-scale spatial attention mechanism. By applying the Gramian Angular Field (GAF) method to the LUCAS dataset, this approach significantly enhances feature extraction. Statistical comparisons confirm that the model outperforms current state-of-the-art techniques, achieving high precision across seven key soil properties.
