用轻量适配与选择性微调,让语言模型更好识别海上雷达目标。

RadarPLM: Adapting Pre-trained Language Models for Marine Radar Target Detection by Selective Fine-tuning

  • 设计轻量模块和选择性微调策略,减少计算开销与过拟合。
  • 低信杂比下检测性能提升至少6.35%,小样本训练也表现优异。
  • 适合做雷达目标检测的工程师或研究者,尤其关注低信噪场景。

预训练语言模型(PLM)在捕捉通用知识方面展现出强大能力,为雷达信号处理提供了新可能。然而,直接在雷达信号上微调PLM既计算成本高,又易过拟合,尤其在低信杂比(SCR)环境下更为明显。为此,本文提出一种高效的PLM用于海洋雷达目标检测的微调框架。首先,设计轻量级适配模块,实现高效微调并保留预训练模型的泛化能力;其次,提出基于在线学习价值评估的选择性微调策略,有选择地优化不同特征块,引导模型聚焦可泛化的特征模式,显著降低对噪声、异常或过于简单的模式的过拟合;最后,基于自编码器网络重训练二分类头以进一步提升检测性能。在真实雷达数据集上的评估表明,RadarPLM框架显著优于现有方法,在使用序列特征时,低信杂比条件下平均检测性能提升最小达6.35%。特别是在小样本训练条件下,性能优势依然显著,验证了融合PLM的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in pre-trained language models (PLMs) have demonstrated their capabilities in capturing universal knowledge, making them promising for radar signal processing applications. Nevertheless, directly fine-tuning PLMs on radar signals is both computationally expensive and prone to overfitting, particularly in low signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) environments. To mitigate both issues, an effective fine-tuning framework for PLM-based marine radar target detection is proposed. First, we design a lightweight adaptation module, enabling computationally efficient fine-tuning while preserving the pre-trained model's general knowledge. Second, an effective selective fine-tuning strategy is developed to selectively optimize different feature patches based on their online-evaluated learning values, guiding the model to concentrate on those generalizable feature patterns and significantly reducing model overfitting to nosiy, anomalous, or overly simple patterns during optimization. Finally, a binary classification head is retrained based on autoencoder network to further enhance detection performance. Evaluations on real-world radar datasets highlight that the proposed RadarPLM framework considerably outperforms existing models, achieving a minimum of 6.35% gain in average detection performance under challenging low SCR conditions when using sequence features. In particular, under small-sample training conditions, RadarPLM also achieves highly significant average performance gains over prior methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating the PLM.
