Inspired by two-player zero-sum game, GANs comprise a generator and a discriminator, both trained under the adversarial learning idea.The goal of GANs is to estimate the potential distribution of real data samples and generate new samples from that distribution.Since their initiation, GANs have been widely studied due to their enormous prospect for applications, including image and vision computing, speech and language processing, etc. In this review paper, we summarize the state of the art of GANs and look into the future. Firstly, we survey GANs' proposal background,theoretic and implementation models, and application fields.Then, we discuss GANs' advantages and disadvantages, and their development trends. In particular, we investigate the relation between GANs and parallel intelligence,with the conclusion that GANs have a great potential in parallel systems research in terms of virtual-real interaction and integration. Clearly, GANs can provide substantial algorithmic support for parallel intelligence.展开更多

文摘The development of generative architectures has resulted in numerous novel deep-learning models that generate images using text inputs.However,humans naturally use speech for visualization prompts.Therefore,this paper proposes an architecture that integrates speech prompts as input to image-generation Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)model,leveraging Speech-to-Text translation along with the CLIP+VQGAN model.The proposed method involves translating speech prompts into text,which is then used by the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining(CLIP)+Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network(VQGAN)model to generate images.This paper outlines the steps required to implement such a model and describes in detail the methods used for evaluating the model.The GAN model successfully generates artwork from descriptions using speech and text prompts.Experimental outcomes of synthesized images demonstrate that the proposed methodology can produce beautiful abstract visuals containing elements from the input prompts.The model achieved a Frechet Inception Distance(FID)score of 28.75,showcasing its capability to produce high-quality and diverse images.The proposed model can find numerous applications in educational,artistic,and design spaces due to its ability to generate images using speech and the distinct abstract artistry of the output images.This capability is demonstrated by giving the model out-of-the-box prompts to generate never-before-seen images with plausible realistic qualities.

文摘An intelligent diagnosis method based on self-adaptiveWasserstein dual generative adversarial networks and feature fusion is proposed due to problems such as insufficient sample size and incomplete fault feature extraction,which are commonly faced by rolling bearings and lead to low diagnostic accuracy.Initially,dual models of the Wasserstein deep convolutional generative adversarial network incorporating gradient penalty(1D-2DWDCGAN)are constructed to augment the original dataset.A self-adaptive loss threshold control training strategy is introduced,and establishing a self-adaptive balancing mechanism for stable model training.Subsequently,a diagnostic model based on multidimensional feature fusion is designed,wherein complex features from various dimensions are extracted,merging the original signal waveform features,structured features,and time-frequency features into a deep composite feature representation that encompasses multiple dimensions and scales;thus,efficient and accurate small sample fault diagnosis is facilitated.Finally,an experiment between the bearing fault dataset of CaseWestern ReserveUniversity and the fault simulation experimental platformdataset of this research group shows that this method effectively supplements the dataset and remarkably improves the diagnostic accuracy.The diagnostic accuracy after data augmentation reached 99.94%and 99.87%in two different experimental environments,respectively.In addition,robustness analysis is conducted on the diagnostic accuracy of the proposed method under different noise backgrounds,verifying its good generalization performance.

文摘An efficient,diversified,and low-dimensional airfoil parameterization method is critical to airfoil aerodynamic optimization design.This paper proposes a supersonic airfoil parameterization method based on a bijective cycle generative adversarial network(Bicycle-GAN),whose performance is compared with that of the conditional variational autoencoder(cVAE)based parameterization method in terms of parsimony,flawlessness,intuitiveness,and physicality.In all four aspects,the Bicycle-GAN-based parameterization method is superior to the cVAEbased parameterization method.Combined with multifidelity Gaussian process regression(MFGPR)surrogate model and a Bayesian optimization algorithm,a Bicycle-GAN-based optimization framework is established for the aerodynamic performance optimization of airfoils immersed in supersonic flow,which is compared with the cVAE-based optimization method in terms of optimized efficiency and effectiveness.The MFGPR surrogate model is established using low-fidelity aerodynamic data obtained from supersonic thin-airfoil theory and high-fidelity aerodynamic data obtained from steady CFD simulation.For both supersonic conditions,the CFD simulation costs are reduced by>20%compared with those of the cVAE-based optimization,and better optimization results are obtained through the Bicycle-GAN model.The optimization results for this supersonic flow point to a sharper leading edge,a smaller camber and thickness with a flatter lower surface,and a maximum thickness at 50%chord length.The advantages of the Bicycle-GAN and MFGPR models are comprehensively demonstrated in terms of airfoil generation characteristics,surrogate model prediction accuracy and optimization efficiency.

文摘Symmetric encryption algorithms learned by the previous proposed end-to-end adversarial network encryption communication systems are deterministic.With the same key and same plaintext,the deterministic algorithm will lead to the same ciphertext.This means that the key in the deterministic encryption algorithm can only be used once,thus the encryption is not practical.To solve this problem,a nondeterministic symmetric encryption end-to-end communication system based on generative adversarial networks is proposed.We design a nonce-based adversarial neural network model,where a“nonce”standing for“number used only once”is passed to communication participants,and does not need to be secret.Moreover,we optimize the network structure through adding Batch Normalization(BN)to the CNNs(Convolutional Neural Networks),selecting the appropriate activation functions,and setting appropriate CNNs parameters.Results of experiments and analysis show that our system can achieve non-deterministic symmetric encryption,where Alice encrypting the same plaintext with the key twice will generate different ciphertexts,and Bob can decrypt all these different ciphertexts of the same plaintext to the correct plaintext.And our proposed system has fast convergence and the correct rate of decryption when the plaintext length is 256 or even longer.

文摘In Human–Robot Interaction(HRI),generating robot trajectories that accurately reflect user intentions while ensuring physical realism remains challenging,especially in unstructured environments.In this study,we develop a multimodal framework that integrates symbolic task reasoning with continuous trajectory generation.The approach employs transformer models and adversarial training to map high-level intent to robotic motion.Information from multiple data sources,such as voice traits,hand and body keypoints,visual observations,and recorded paths,is integrated simultaneously.These signals are mapped into a shared representation that supports interpretable reasoning while enabling smooth and realistic motion generation.Based on this design,two different learning strategies are investigated.In the first step,grammar-constrained Linear Temporal Logic(LTL)expressions are created from multimodal human inputs.These expressions are subsequently decoded into robot trajectories.The second method generates trajectories directly from symbolic intent and linguistic data,bypassing an intermediate logical representation.Transformer encoders combine multiple types of information,and autoregressive transformer decoders generate motion sequences.Adding smoothness and speed limits during training increases the likelihood of physical feasibility.To improve the realism and stability of the generated trajectories during training,an adversarial discriminator is also included to guide them toward the distribution of actual robot motion.Tests on the NATSGLD dataset indicate that the complete system exhibits stable training behaviour and performance.In normalised coordinates,the logic-based pipeline has an Average Displacement Error(ADE)of 0.040 and a Final Displacement Error(FDE)of 0.036.The adversarial generator makes substantially more progress,reducing ADE to 0.021 and FDE to 0.018.Visual examination confirms that the generated trajectories closely align with observed motion patterns while preserving smooth temporal dynamics.

文摘High-resolution remote sensing imagery is essential for critical applications such as precision agriculture,urban management planning,and military reconnaissance.Although significant progress has been made in singleimage super-resolution(SISR)using generative adversarial networks(GANs),existing approaches still face challenges in recovering high-frequency details,effectively utilizing features,maintaining structural integrity,and ensuring training stability—particularly when dealing with the complex textures characteristic of remote sensing imagery.To address these limitations,this paper proposes the Improved ResidualModule and AttentionMechanism Network(IRMANet),a novel architecture specifically designed for remote sensing image reconstruction.IRMANet builds upon the Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)framework and introduces several key innovations.First,the Enhanced Residual Unit(ERU)enhances feature reuse and stabilizes training through deep residual connections.Second,the Self-Attention Residual Block(SARB)incorporates a self-attentionmechanism into the Improved Residual Module(IRM)to effectivelymodel long-range dependencies and automatically emphasize salient features.Additionally,the IRM adopts amulti-scale feature fusion strategy to facilitate synergistic interactions between local detail and global semantic information.The effectiveness of each component is validated through ablation studies,while comprehensive comparative experiments on standard remote sensing datasets demonstrate that IRMANet significantly outperforms both the baseline and state-of-the-art methods in terms of perceptual quality and quantitative metrics.Specifically,compared to the baseline model,at a magnification factor of 2,IRMANet achieves an improvement of 0.24 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and 0.54 in structural similarity index(SSIM);at a magnification factor of 4,it achieves gains of 0.22 dB in PSNR and 0.51 in SSIM.These results confirm that the proposedmethod effectively enhances detail representation and structural reconstruction accuracy in complex remote sensing scenarios,offering robust technical support for high-precision detection and identification of both military and civilian aircraft.

文摘Remote sensing image super-resolution technology is pivotal for enhancing image quality in critical applications including environmental monitoring,urban planning,and disaster assessment.However,traditional methods exhibit deficiencies in detail recovery and noise suppression,particularly when processing complex landscapes(e.g.,forests,farmlands),leading to artifacts and spectral distortions that limit practical utility.To address this,we propose an enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)framework featuring three key innovations:(1)Replacement of L1/L2 loss with a robust Charbonnier loss to suppress noise while preserving edge details via adaptive gradient balancing;(2)A multi-loss joint optimization strategy dynamically weighting Charbonnier loss(β=0.5),Visual Geometry Group(VGG)perceptual loss(α=1),and adversarial loss(γ=0.1)to synergize pixel-level accuracy and perceptual quality;(3)A multi-scale residual network(MSRN)capturing cross-scale texture features(e.g.,forest canopies,mountain contours).Validated on Sentinel-2(10 m)and SPOT-6/7(2.5 m)datasets covering 904 km2 in Motuo County,Xizang,our method outperforms the SRGAN baseline(SR4RS)with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)gains of 0.29 dB and Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)improvements of 3.08%on forest imagery.Visual comparisons confirm enhanced texture continuity despite marginal Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity(LPIPS)increases.The method significantly improves noise robustness and edge retention in complex geomorphology,demonstrating 18%faster response in forest fire early warning and providing high-resolution support for agricultural/urban monitoring.Future work will integrate spectral constraints and lightweight architectures.

文摘Recommending personalized travel routes from sparse,implicit feedback poses a significant challenge,as conventional systems often struggle with information overload and fail to capture the complex,sequential nature of user preferences.To address this,we propose a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network(CGAN)that generates diverse and highly relevant itineraries.Our approach begins by constructing a conditional vector that encapsulates a user’s profile.This vector uniquely fuses embeddings from a Heterogeneous Information Network(HIN)to model complex user-place-route relationships,a Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)to capture sequential path dynamics,and Neural Collaborative Filtering(NCF)to incorporate collaborative signals from the wider user base.This comprehensive condition,further enhanced with features representing user interaction confidence and uncertainty,steers a CGAN stabilized by spectral normalization to generate high-fidelity latent route representations,effectively mitigating the data sparsity problem.Recommendations are then formulated using an Anchor-and-Expand algorithm,which selects relevant starting Points of Interest(POI)based on user history,then expands routes through latent similarity matching and geographic coherence optimization,culminating in Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP)-based route optimization for practical travel distances.Experiments on a real-world check-in dataset validate our model’s unique generative capability,achieving F1 scores ranging from 0.163 to 0.305,and near-zero pairs−F1 scores between 0.002 and 0.022.These results confirm the model’s success in generating novel travel routes by recommending new locations and sequences rather than replicating users’past itineraries.This work provides a robust solution for personalized travel planning,capable of generating novel and compelling routes for both new and existing users by learning from collective travel intelligence.

文摘Precipitation nowcasting is of great importance for disaster prevention and mitigation.However,precipitation is a complex spatio-temporal phenomenon influenced by various underlying physical factors.Even slight changes in the initial precipitation field can have a significant impact on the future precipitation patterns,making the nowcasting of short-term high-resolution precipitation a major challenge.Traditional deep learning methods often have difficulty capturing the long-term spatial dependence of precipitation and are usually at a low resolution.To address these issues,based upon the Simpler yet Better Video Prediction(SimVP)framework,we proposed a deep generative neural network that incorporates the Simple Parameter-Free Attention Module(SimAM)and Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)for short-term high-resolution precipitation event forecasting.Through an adversarial training strategy,critical precipitation features were extracted from complex radar echo images.During the adversarial learning process,the dynamic competition between the generator and the discriminator could continuously enhance the model in prediction accuracy and resolution for short-term precipitation.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method could effectively forecast short-term precipitation events on various scales and showed the best overall performance among existing methods.

文摘Recently, generative adversarial networks(GANs)have become a research focus of artificial intelligence. Inspired by two-player zero-sum game, GANs comprise a generator and a discriminator, both trained under the adversarial learning idea.The goal of GANs is to estimate the potential distribution of real data samples and generate new samples from that distribution.Since their initiation, GANs have been widely studied due to their enormous prospect for applications, including image and vision computing, speech and language processing, etc. In this review paper, we summarize the state of the art of GANs and look into the future. Firstly, we survey GANs' proposal background,theoretic and implementation models, and application fields.Then, we discuss GANs' advantages and disadvantages, and their development trends. In particular, we investigate the relation between GANs and parallel intelligence,with the conclusion that GANs have a great potential in parallel systems research in terms of virtual-real interaction and integration. Clearly, GANs can provide substantial algorithmic support for parallel intelligence.

文摘Deep Learning(DL)is such a powerful tool that we have seen tremendous success in areas such as Computer Vision,Speech Recognition,and Natural Language Processing.Since Automated Modulation Classification(AMC)is an important part in Cognitive Radio Networks,we try to explore its potential in solving signal modulation recognition problem.It cannot be overlooked that DL model is a complex model,thus making them prone to over-fitting.DL model requires many training data to combat with over-fitting,but adding high quality labels to training data manually is not always cheap and accessible,especially in real-time system,which may counter unprecedented data in dataset.Semi-supervised Learning is a way to exploit unlabeled data effectively to reduce over-fitting in DL.In this paper,we extend Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)to the semi-supervised learning will show it is a method can be used to create a more dataefficient classifier.

文摘In recent years,landslide susceptibility mapping has substantially improved with advances in machine learning.However,there are still challenges remain in landslide mapping due to the availability of limited inventory data.In this paper,a novel method that improves the performance of machine learning techniques is presented.The proposed method creates synthetic inventory data using Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)for improving the prediction of landslides.In this research,landslide inventory data of 156 landslide locations were identified in Cameron Highlands,Malaysia,taken from previous projects the authors worked on.Elevation,slope,aspect,plan curvature,profile curvature,total curvature,lithology,land use and land cover(LULC),distance to the road,distance to the river,stream power index(SPI),sediment transport index(STI),terrain roughness index(TRI),topographic wetness index(TWI)and vegetation density are geo-environmental factors considered in this study based on suggestions from previous works on Cameron Highlands.To show the capability of GANs in improving landslide prediction models,this study tests the proposed GAN model with benchmark models namely Artificial Neural Network(ANN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Decision Trees(DT),Random Forest(RF)and Bagging ensemble models with ANN and SVM models.These models were validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC).The DT,RF,SVM,ANN and Bagging ensemble could achieve the AUROC values of(0.90,0.94,0.86,0.69 and 0.82)for the training;and the AUROC of(0.76,0.81,0.85,0.72 and 0.75)for the test,subsequently.When using additional samples,the same models achieved the AUROC values of(0.92,0.94,0.88,0.75 and 0.84)for the training and(0.78,0.82,0.82,0.78 and 0.80)for the test,respectively.Using the additional samples improved the test accuracy of all the models except SVM.As a result,in data-scarce environments,this research showed that utilizing GANs to generate supplementary samples is promising because it can improve the predictive capability of common landslide prediction models.

文摘Integration of digital twin(DT)and wireless channel provides new solution of channel modeling and simulation,and can assist to design,optimize and evaluate intelligent wireless communication system and networks.With DT channel modeling,the generated channel data can be closer to realistic channel measurements without requiring a prior channel model,and amount of channel data can be significantly increased.Artificial intelligence(AI)based modeling approach shows outstanding performance to solve such problems.In this work,a channel modeling method based on generative adversarial networks is proposed for DT channel,which can generate identical statistical distribution with measured channel.Model validation is conducted by comparing DT channel characteristics with measurements,and results show that DT channel leads to fairly good agreement with measured channel.Finally,a link-layer simulation is implemented based on DT channel.It is found that the proposed DT channel model can be well used to conduct link-layer simulation and its performance is comparable to using measurement data.The observations and results can facilitate the development of DT channel modeling and provide new thoughts for DT channel applications,as well as improving the performance and reliability of intelligent communication networking.

文摘Steganography based on generative adversarial networks(GANs)has become a hot topic among researchers.Due to GANs being unsuitable for text fields with discrete characteristics,researchers have proposed GANbased steganography methods that are less dependent on text.In this paper,we propose a new method of generative lyrics steganography based on GANs,called GAN-GLS.The proposed method uses the GAN model and the largescale lyrics corpus to construct and train a lyrics generator.In this method,the GAN uses a previously generated line of a lyric as the input sentence in order to generate the next line of the lyric.Using a strategy based on the penalty mechanism in training,the GAN model generates non-repetitive and diverse lyrics.The secret information is then processed according to the data characteristics of the generated lyrics in order to hide information.Unlike other text generation-based linguistic steganographic methods,our method changes the way that multiple generated candidate items are selected as the candidate groups in order to encode the conditional probability distribution.The experimental results demonstrate that our method can generate highquality lyrics as stego-texts.Moreover,compared with other similar methods,the proposed method achieves good performance in terms of imperceptibility,embedding rate,effectiveness,extraction success rate and security.

文摘Climate models are vital for understanding and projecting global climate change and its associated impacts.However,these models suffer from biases that limit their accuracy in historical simulations and the trustworthiness of future projections.Addressing these challenges requires addressing internal variability,hindering the direct alignment between model simulations and observations,and thwarting conventional supervised learning methods.Here,we employ an unsupervised Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network(CycleGAN),to correct daily Sea Surface Temperature(SST)simulations from the Community Earth System Model 2(CESM2).Our results reveal that the CycleGAN not only corrects climatological biases but also improves the simulation of major dynamic modes including the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)and the Indian Ocean Dipole mode,as well as SST extremes.Notably,it substantially corrects climatological SST biases,decreasing the globally averaged Root-Mean-Square Error(RMSE)by 58%.Intriguingly,the CycleGAN effectively addresses the well-known excessive westward bias in ENSO SST anomalies,a common issue in climate models that traditional methods,like quantile mapping,struggle to rectify.Additionally,it substantially improves the simulation of SST extremes,raising the pattern correlation coefficient(PCC)from 0.56 to 0.88 and lowering the RMSE from 0.5 to 0.32.This enhancement is attributed to better representations of interannual,intraseasonal,and synoptic scales variabilities.Our study offers a novel approach to correct global SST simulations and underscores its effectiveness across different time scales and primary dynamical modes.
