Therefore, it is urgent to improve the diagnostic yield by exploring the pathogenic mechanisms of variants in non-coding regions. However, the interpretation of non-coding variants remains a significant challenge, due to the complex functional regulatory mechanisms of non-coding regions and the current limitations of available databases and tools. Hence, we develop the non-coding variant annotation database (NCAD, http://www.ncawdb.net/), encompassing comprehensive insights into 665,679,194 variants, regulatory elements, and element interaction details. Integrating data from 96 sources, spanning both GRCh37 and GRCh38 versions, NCAD v1.0 provides vital information to support the genetic diagnosis of non-coding variants, including allele frequencies of 12 diverse populations, with a particular focus on the population frequency information for 230,235,698 variants in 20,964 Chinese individuals. Moreover, it offers prediction scores for variant functionality, five categories of regulatory elements, and four types of non-coding RNAs. With its rich data and comprehensive coverage, NCAD serves as a valuable platform, empowering researchers and clinicians with profound insights into non-coding regulatory mechanisms while facilitating the interpretation of non-coding variants.展开更多

We devise a computationally effective technique for interpretation of fluid injection in a wellbore interval with multiple geological layers based on the bottomhole pressure measurements. The permeability, porosity and compressibility in each layer are initially setup, while the skin factor and partitioning of injected fluids among the zones during the injection are found as a solution of the problem. The problem takes into account Darcy flow and chemical interactions between the injected acids, diverter fluids and reservoir rock typical in modern matrix acidizing treatments. Using the synchronously recorded injection rate and bottomhole pressure, we evaluate skin factor changes in each layer and actual fluid placement into the reservoir during different pumping jobs: matrix acidizing, water control, sand control, scale squeezes and water flooding. The model is validated by comparison with a simulator used in industry. It gives opportunity to estimate efficiency of a matrix treatment job, role of every injection stage, and control fluid delivery to each layer in real time. The presented interpretation technique significantly improves accuracy of matrix treatments analysis by coupling the hydrodynamic model with records of pressure and injection rate during the treatment.展开更多

The multi-source data interpretation method put forward in this analysis is based on a database-driven pattern and focuses on the discrete and irregular features of geological data. The geological data from a variety of sources covering a range of accuracy, resolution, quantity and quality are classified and integrated according to their reliability and consistency for 3D modeling. The new interpolation-approximation fitting construction algorithm of geological surfaces with the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS) technique is then presented. The NURBS technique can retain the balance among the requirements for accuracy, surface continuity and data storage of geological structures. Finally, four alternative 3D modeling approaches are demonstrated with reference to some examples, which are selected according to the data quantity and accuracy specification. The proposed approaches offer flexible modeling patterns for different practical engineering demands.展开更多

文摘In recent years,deeps learning has been widely applied in synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image processing.However,the collection of large-scale labeled SAR images is challenging and costly,and the classification accuracy is often poor when only limited SAR images are available.To address this issue,we propose a novel framework for sparse SAR target classification under few-shot cases,termed the transfer learning-based interpretable lightweight convolutional neural network(TL-IL-CNN).Additionally,we employ enhanced gradient-weighted class activation mapping(Grad-CAM)to mitigate the“black box”effect often associated with deep learning models and to explore the mechanisms by which a CNN classifies various sparse SAR targets.Initially,we apply a novel bidirectional iterative soft thresholding(BiIST)algorithm to generate sparse images of superior quality compared to those produced by traditional matched filtering(MF)techniques.Subsequently,we pretrain multiple shallow CNNs on a simulated SAR image dataset.Using the sparse SAR dataset as input for the CNNs,we assess the efficacy of transfer learning in sparse SAR target classification and suggest the integration of TL-IL-CNN to enhance the classification accuracy further.Finally,Grad-CAM is utilized to provide visual explanations for the predictions made by the classification framework.The experimental results on the MSTAR dataset reveal that the proposed TL-IL-CNN achieves nearly 90%classification accuracy with only 20%of the training data required under standard operating conditions(SOC),surpassing typical deep learning methods such as vision Transformer(ViT)in the context of small samples.Remarkably,it even presents better performance under extended operating conditions(EOC).Furthermore,the application of Grad-CAM elucidates the CNN’s differentiation process among various sparse SAR targets.The experiments indicate that the model focuses on the target and the background can differ among target classes.The study contributes to an enhanced understanding of the interpretability of such results and enables us to infer the classification outcomes for each category more accurately.

文摘Accurately mapping the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon(SOC)is crucial for guiding agricultural management and improving soil carbon sequestration,especially in fragmented agricultural landscapes.Although remote sensing provides spatially continuous environmental information about heterogeneous agricultural landscapes,its relationship with SOC remains unclear.In this study,we hypothesized that multi-category remote sensing-derived variables can enhance our understanding of SOC variation within complex landscape conditions.Taking the Qilu Lake watershed in Yunnan,China,as a case study area and based on 216 topsoil samples collected from irrigation areas,we applied the extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)model to investigate the contributions of vegetation indices(VI),brightness indices(BI),moisture indices(MI),and spectral transformations(ST,principal component analysis and tasseled cap transformation)to SOC mapping.The results showed that ST contributed the most to SOC prediction accuracy,followed by MI,VI,and BI,with improvements in R2 of 29.27,26.83,19.51,and 14.43%,respectively.The dominance of ST can be attributed to the fact that it contains richer remote sensing spectral information.The optimal SOC prediction model integrated soil properties,topographic factors,location factors,and landscape metrics,as well as remote sensing-derived variables,and achieved RMSE and MAE of 15.05 and 11.42 g kg-1,and R2 and CCC of 0.57 and 0.72,respectively.The Shapley additive explanations deciphered the nonlinear and threshold effects that exist between soil moisture,vegetation status,soil brightness and SOC.Compared with traditional linear regression models,interpretable machine learning has advantages in prediction accuracy and revealing the influences of variables that reflect landscape characteristics on SOC.Overall,this study not only reveals how remote sensing-derived variables contribute to our understanding of SOC distribution in fragmented agricultural landscapes but also clarifies their efficacy.Through interpretable machine learning,we can further elucidate the causes of SOC variation,which is important for sustainable soil management and agricultural practices.

文摘The discrete fracture system of a rock mass plays a crucial role in controlling the stability of rock slopes.To fully account for the geometric shape and distribution characteristics of jointed rock masses,terrestrial laser scanning(TLS)was employed to acquire high-resolution point-cloud data,and a developed automatic discontinuity-identification technology was coupled to automatically interpret and characterize geometric information such as orientation,trace length,spacing,and set number of the discontinuities.The discrete element method(DEM)was applied to study the influence of the geometric morphology and distribution characteristics of discontinuities on slope stability by generating a discrete fracture network(DFN)with the same statistical characteristics as the actual discontinuities.Based on slope data from the Yebatan Hydropower Station,a simulation was conducted to verify the applicability of the automatic discontinuity identification technology and the discrete fracture network-discrete element method(DFN-DEM).Various geological parameters,including trace length,persistence,and density,were examined to investigate the morphological evolution and response characteristics of rock slope excavation under different joint combination conditions through simulation.The simulation results indicate that joint parameters affect slope stability,with density having the most significant impact.The impact of joint parameters on stability is relatively small within a reasonable range but becomes significant beyond a certain threshold,further validating that the accuracy of field geological surveys is critical for simulation.This study provides a scientific basis for the construction of complex rock slope models,engineering assessments,and disaster prevention and mitigation,which is of great value in both theory and engineering applications.

文摘The belief rule-based(BRB)system has been popular in complexity system modeling due to its good interpretability.However,the current mainstream optimization methods of the BRB systems only focus on modeling accuracy but ignore the interpretability.The single-objective optimization strategy has been applied in the interpretability-accuracy trade-off by inte-grating accuracy and interpretability into an optimization objec-tive.But the integration has a greater impact on optimization results with strong subjectivity.Thus,a multi-objective optimiza-tion framework in the modeling of BRB systems with inter-pretability-accuracy trade-off is proposed in this paper.Firstly,complexity and accuracy are taken as two independent opti-mization goals,and uniformity as a constraint to give the mathe-matical description.Secondly,a classical multi-objective opti-mization algorithm,nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II),is utilized as an optimization tool to give a set of BRB systems with different accuracy and complexity.Finally,a pipeline leakage detection case is studied to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed multi-objective optimization.The comparison illustrates that the proposed multi-objective optimization framework can effectively avoid the subjectivity of single-objective optimization,and has capability of joint optimiz-ing the structure and parameters of BRB systems with inter-pretability-accuracy trade-off.
文摘Computer analysis of electrocardiograms(ECGs)was introduced more than 50 years ago,with the aim to improve efficiency and clinical workflow.[1,2]However,inaccuracies have been documented in the literature.[3,4]Research indicates that emergency department(ED)clinician interruptions occur every 4-10 min,which is significantly more common than in other specialties.[5]This increases the cognitive load and error rates and impacts patient care and clinical effi ciency.[1,2,5]De-prioritization protocols have been introduced in certain centers in the United Kingdom(UK),removing the need for clinician ECG interpretation where ECGs have been interpreted as normal by the machine.

文摘The aperture of natural rock fractures significantly affects the deformation and strength properties of rock masses,as well as the hydrodynamic properties of fractured rock masses.The conventional measurement methods are inadequate for collecting data on high-steep rock slopes in complex mountainous regions.This study establishes a high-resolution three-dimensional model of a rock slope using unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)multi-angle nap-of-the-object photogrammetry to obtain edge feature points of fractures.Fracture opening morphology is characterized using coordinate projection and transformation.Fracture central axis is determined using vertical measuring lines,allowing for the interpretation of aperture of adaptive fracture shape.The feasibility and reliability of the new method are verified at a construction site of a railway in southeast Xizang,China.The study shows that the fracture aperture has a significant interval effect and size effect.The optimal sampling length for fractures is approximately 0.5e1 m,and the optimal aperture interpretation results can be achieved when the measuring line spacing is 1%of the sampling length.Tensile fractures in the study area generally have larger apertures than shear fractures,and their tendency to increase with slope height is also greater than that of shear fractures.The aperture of tensile fractures is generally positively correlated with their trace length,while the correlation between the aperture of shear fractures and their trace length appears to be weak.Fractures of different orientations exhibit certain differences in their distribution of aperture,but generally follow the forms of normal,log-normal,and gamma distributions.This study provides essential data support for rock and slope stability evaluation,which is of significant practical importance.

文摘With the successful application and breakthrough of deep learning technology in image segmentation,there has been continuous development in the field of seismic facies interpretation using convolutional neural networks.These intelligent and automated methods significantly reduce manual labor,particularly in the laborious task of manually labeling seismic facies.However,the extensive demand for training data imposes limitations on their wider application.To overcome this challenge,we adopt the UNet architecture as the foundational network structure for seismic facies classification,which has demonstrated effective segmentation results even with small-sample training data.Additionally,we integrate spatial pyramid pooling and dilated convolution modules into the network architecture to enhance the perception of spatial information across a broader range.The seismic facies classification test on the public data from the F3 block verifies the superior performance of our proposed improved network structure in delineating seismic facies boundaries.Comparative analysis against the traditional UNet model reveals that our method achieves more accurate predictive classification results,as evidenced by various evaluation metrics for image segmentation.Obviously,the classification accuracy reaches an impressive 96%.Furthermore,the results of seismic facies classification in the seismic slice dimension provide further confirmation of the superior performance of our proposed method,which accurately defines the range of different seismic facies.This approach holds significant potential for analyzing geological patterns and extracting valuable depositional information.
文摘For departmental legal norms concerning citizens’basic rights,when multiple interpretations are possible based on individual case circumstances,interpreters representing public authority need to apply the method of constitutional interpretation to screen out the interpretation conclusions that do not violate the Constitution.This means selecting interpretations at the constitutional level that do not overly restrict citizens’basic rights and understanding the specific connotations of legal norms with the principle of“not infringing on citizens’basic rights.”The Constitution,as a framework order,does not require interpreters to choose the most constitutionally aligned interpretation among various constitutional interpretations.If a legal norm does not have a constitutional interpretation conclusion in an individual case circumstance,it indicates that the application of that norm in the case is unconstitutional,and the interpreter should avoid applying the legal norm in that case.Regarding judgment standards,interpreters should apply the principle of proportionality to determine whether each legal interpretation conclusion concerning basic rights-related legal norms complies with the Constitution.Out of respect for the legislature,the application of the sub-principles of pro-portionality should consider the boundaries of interpretative actions.

文摘Artificial Intelligence(AI)Machine Learning(ML)technologies,particularly Deep Learning(DL),have demonstrated significant potential in the interpretation of Remote Sensing(RS)imagery,covering tasks such as scene classification,object detection,land-cover/land-use classification,change detection,and multi-view stereo reconstruction.Large-scale training samples are essential for ML/DL models to achieve optimal performance.However,the current organization of training samples is ad-hoc and vendor-specific,lacking an integrated approach that can effectively manage training samples from different vendors to meet the demands of various RS AI tasks.This article proposes a solution to address these challenges by designing and implementing LuoJiaSET,a large-scale training sample database system for intelligent interpretation of RS imagery.LuoJiaSET accommodates over five million training samples,providing support for cross-dataset queries and serving as a comprehensive training data store for RS AI model training and calibration.It overcomes challenges related to label semantic categories,structural heterogeneity in label representation,and interoperable data access.

文摘The application of whole genome sequencing is expanding in clinical diagnostics across various genetic disorders, and the significance of non-coding variants in penetrant diseases is increasingly being demonstrated. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the diagnostic yield by exploring the pathogenic mechanisms of variants in non-coding regions. However, the interpretation of non-coding variants remains a significant challenge, due to the complex functional regulatory mechanisms of non-coding regions and the current limitations of available databases and tools. Hence, we develop the non-coding variant annotation database (NCAD, http://www.ncawdb.net/), encompassing comprehensive insights into 665,679,194 variants, regulatory elements, and element interaction details. Integrating data from 96 sources, spanning both GRCh37 and GRCh38 versions, NCAD v1.0 provides vital information to support the genetic diagnosis of non-coding variants, including allele frequencies of 12 diverse populations, with a particular focus on the population frequency information for 230,235,698 variants in 20,964 Chinese individuals. Moreover, it offers prediction scores for variant functionality, five categories of regulatory elements, and four types of non-coding RNAs. With its rich data and comprehensive coverage, NCAD serves as a valuable platform, empowering researchers and clinicians with profound insights into non-coding regulatory mechanisms while facilitating the interpretation of non-coding variants.
文摘During injection treatments, bottomhole pressure measurements may significantly mismatch modeling results. We devise a computationally effective technique for interpretation of fluid injection in a wellbore interval with multiple geological layers based on the bottomhole pressure measurements. The permeability, porosity and compressibility in each layer are initially setup, while the skin factor and partitioning of injected fluids among the zones during the injection are found as a solution of the problem. The problem takes into account Darcy flow and chemical interactions between the injected acids, diverter fluids and reservoir rock typical in modern matrix acidizing treatments. Using the synchronously recorded injection rate and bottomhole pressure, we evaluate skin factor changes in each layer and actual fluid placement into the reservoir during different pumping jobs: matrix acidizing, water control, sand control, scale squeezes and water flooding. The model is validated by comparison with a simulator used in industry. It gives opportunity to estimate efficiency of a matrix treatment job, role of every injection stage, and control fluid delivery to each layer in real time. The presented interpretation technique significantly improves accuracy of matrix treatments analysis by coupling the hydrodynamic model with records of pressure and injection rate during the treatment.

文摘Spectral decomposition has been widely used in the detection and identifi cation of underground anomalous features(such as faults,river channels,and karst caves).However,the conventional spectral decomposition method is restrained by the window function,and hence,it mostly has low time–frequency focusing and resolution,thereby hampering the fi ne interpretation of seismic targets.To solve this problem,we investigated the sparse inverse spectral decomposition constrained by the lp norm(0<p≤1).Using a numerical model,we demonstrated the higher time–frequency resolution of this method and its capability for improving the seismic interpretation for thin layers.Moreover,given the actual underground geology that can be often complex,we further propose a p-norm constrained inverse spectral attribute interpretation method based on multiresolution time–frequency feature fusion.By comprehensively analyzing the time–frequency spectrum results constrained by the diff erent p-norms,we can obtain more refined interpretation results than those obtained by the traditional strategy,which incorporates a single norm constraint.Finally,the proposed strategy was applied to the processing and interpretation of actual three-dimensional seismic data for a study area covering about 230 km^(2) in western China.The results reveal that the surface water system in this area is characterized by stepwise convergence from a higher position in the north(a buried hill)toward the south and by the development of faults.We thus demonstrated that the proposed method has huge application potential in seismic interpretation.

文摘Predicting the motion of other road agents enables autonomous vehicles to perform safe and efficient path planning.This task is very complex,as the behaviour of road agents depends on many factors and the number of possible future trajectories can be consid-erable(multi-modal).Most prior approaches proposed to address multi-modal motion prediction are based on complex machine learning systems that have limited interpret-ability.Moreover,the metrics used in current benchmarks do not evaluate all aspects of the problem,such as the diversity and admissibility of the output.The authors aim to advance towards the design of trustworthy motion prediction systems,based on some of the re-quirements for the design of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.The focus is on evaluation criteria,robustness,and interpretability of outputs.First,the evaluation metrics are comprehensively analysed,the main gaps of current benchmarks are identified,and a new holistic evaluation framework is proposed.Then,a method for the assessment of spatial and temporal robustness is introduced by simulating noise in the perception system.To enhance the interpretability of the outputs and generate more balanced results in the proposed evaluation framework,an intent prediction layer that can be attached to multi-modal motion prediction models is proposed.The effectiveness of this approach is assessed through a survey that explores different elements in the visualisation of the multi-modal trajectories and intentions.The proposed approach and findings make a significant contribution to the development of trustworthy motion prediction systems for autono-mous vehicles,advancing the field towards greater safety and reliability.

文摘Due to the complex nature of multi-source geological data, it is difficult to rebuild every geological structure through a single 3D modeling method. The multi-source data interpretation method put forward in this analysis is based on a database-driven pattern and focuses on the discrete and irregular features of geological data. The geological data from a variety of sources covering a range of accuracy, resolution, quantity and quality are classified and integrated according to their reliability and consistency for 3D modeling. The new interpolation-approximation fitting construction algorithm of geological surfaces with the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS) technique is then presented. The NURBS technique can retain the balance among the requirements for accuracy, surface continuity and data storage of geological structures. Finally, four alternative 3D modeling approaches are demonstrated with reference to some examples, which are selected according to the data quantity and accuracy specification. The proposed approaches offer flexible modeling patterns for different practical engineering demands.
