Nowadays, only a few researchers have attempted to introduce sample selection strategies developed in non-graph areas to limit the influence of noisy node labels. These studies often neglect the impact of inaccurate graph structure relationships, invalid utilization of noisy nodes and unlabeled nodes self-supervision information for noisy node labels constraint. More importantly, simply enhancing the accuracy of graph structure relationships or the utilization of nodes' self-supervision information still cannot minimize the influence of noisy node labels for open-set GNN. In this paper, we propose a novel RT-OGNN(robust training of open-set GNN) framework to solve the above-mentioned issues. Specifically, an effective graph structure learning module is proposed to weaken the impact of structure noise and extend the receptive field of nodes. Then, the augmented graph is sent to a pair of peer GNNs to accurately distinguish noisy node labels of labeled nodes. Third, the label propagation and multilayer perceptron-based decoder modules are simultaneously introduced to discover more supervision information from remaining nodes apart from clean nodes. Finally, we jointly optimize the above modules and open-set GNN in an end-to-end way via consistency regularization loss and cross-entropy loss, which minimizes the influence of noisy node labels and provides more supervision guidance for open-set GNN optimization.Extensive experiments on three benchmarks and various noise rates validate the superiority of RT-OGNN over state-of-the-art models.展开更多

The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.展开更多

Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.展开更多

文摘This study proposes a novel forecasting framework that simultaneously captures the strong periodicity and irregular meteorological fluctuations inherent in solar radiation time series.Existing approaches typically define inter-regional correlations using either simple correlation coefficients or distance-based measures when applying spatio-temporal graph neural networks(STGNNs).However,such definitions are prone to generating spurious correlations due to the dominance of periodic structures.To address this limitation,we adopt the Elastic-Band Transform(EBT)to decompose solar radiation into periodic and amplitude-modulated components,which are then modeled independently with separate graph neural networks.The periodic component,characterized by strong nationwide correlations,is learned with a relatively simple architecture,whereas the amplitude-modulated component is modeled with more complex STGNNs that capture climatological similarities between regions.The predictions from the two components are subsequently recombined to yield final forecasts that integrate both periodic patterns and aperiodic variability.The proposed framework is validated with multiple STGNN architectures,and experimental results demonstrate improved predictive accuracy and interpretability compared to conventional methods.

文摘Graph neural networks(GNN)have shown strong performance in node classification tasks,yet most existing models rely on uniform or shared weight aggregation,lacking flexibility in modeling the varying strength of relationships among nodes.This paper proposes a novel graph coupling convolutional model that introduces an adaptive weighting mechanism to assign distinct importance to neighboring nodes based on their similarity to the central node.Unlike traditional methods,the proposed coupling strategy enhances the interpretability of node interactions while maintaining competitive classification performance.The model operates in the spatial domain,utilizing adjacency list structures for efficient convolution and addressing the limitations of weight sharing through a coupling-based similarity computation.Extensive experiments are conducted on five graph-structured datasets,including Cora,Citeseer,PubMed,Reddit,and BlogCatalog,as well as a custom topology dataset constructed from the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset(OULAD)educational platform.Results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves good classification accuracy,while significantly reducing training time through direct second-order neighbor fusion and data preprocessing.Moreover,analysis of neighborhood order reveals that considering third-order neighbors offers limited accuracy gains but introduces considerable computational overhead,confirming the efficiency of first-and second-order convolution in practical applications.Overall,the proposed graph coupling model offers a lightweight,interpretable,and effective framework for multi-label node classification in complex networks.

文摘In this paper,we propose a novel graph signal processing convolution recurrent network(GSP CRN)for signal enhancement against high suppressive interference(HSI)in wireless communications.GSPCRN consists of the short-time graph signal processing(SGSP)approach and a modified convolution recurrent network.Similar to the traditional shorttime time-frequency transformation,SGSP frames the complex-valued communication signal and transforms it to the graph-domain representations,where the connection and weight flexibility of each vertex are fully taken into account.In the presence of HSI,SGSP can extract signal features from new graph-domain dimensions and empower neural networks for weak signal enhancement.Two SGSP methods,adjacency singular value decomposition and implicit graph transformation,are designed to capture relationships among the sampling points in the segmented signals.Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed GSPCRN outperforms existing classic methods in extracting weak signals from the HSI environment.When the interference-to-signal ratio exceeds 27dB,only our proposed GSPCRN can achieve the interference mitigation.

文摘The development of brain-computer interfaces(BCI)based on motor imagery(MI)has greatly improved patients’quality of life with movement disorders.The classification of upper limb MI has been widely studied and applied in many fields,including rehabilitation.However,the physiological representations of left and right lower limb movements are too close and activated deep in the cerebral cortex,making it difficult to distinguish their features.Therefore,classifying lower limbs motor imagery is more challenging.In this study,we propose a feature extraction method based on functional connectivity,which utilizes phase-locked values to construct a functional connectivity matrix as the features of the left and right legs,which can effectively avoid the problem of physiological representations of the left and right lower limbs being too close to each other during movement.In addition,considering the topology and the temporal characteristics of the electroencephalogram(EEG),we designed a temporal-spatial convolutional network(TSGCN)to capture the spatiotemporal information for classification.Experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed method is higher than that of existing methods,achieving an average classification accuracy of 73.58%on the internal dataset.Finally,this study explains the network mechanism of left and right foot MI from the perspective of graph theoretic features and demonstrates the feasibility of decoding lower limb MI.

文摘With the emphasis on user privacy and communication security, encrypted traffic has increased dramatically, which brings great challenges to traffic classification. The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.
文摘The increasing popularity of the Internet and the widespread use of information technology have led to a rise in the number and sophistication of network attacks and security threats.Intrusion detection systems are crucial to network security,playing a pivotal role in safeguarding networks from potential threats.However,in the context of an evolving landscape of sophisticated and elusive attacks,existing intrusion detection methodologies often overlook critical aspects such as changes in network topology over time and interactions between hosts.To address these issues,this paper proposes a real-time network intrusion detection method based on graph neural networks.The proposedmethod leverages the advantages of graph neural networks and employs a straightforward graph construction method to represent network traffic as dynamic graph-structured data.Additionally,a graph convolution operation with a multi-head attention mechanism is utilized to enhance the model’s ability to capture the intricate relationships within the graph structure comprehensively.Furthermore,it uses an integrated graph neural network to address dynamic graphs’structural and topological changes at different time points and the challenges of edge embedding in intrusion detection data.The edge classification problem is effectively transformed into node classification by employing a line graph data representation,which facilitates fine-grained intrusion detection tasks on dynamic graph node feature representations.The efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated using two commonly used intrusion detection datasets,UNSW-NB15 and NF-ToN-IoT-v2,and results are compared with previous studies in this field.The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves 99.3%and 99.96%accuracy on the two datasets,respectively,and outperforms the benchmark model in several evaluation metrics.

文摘Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)features complex compatibility mechanisms involving multicomponent,multi-target,and multi-pathway interactions.This study presents an interpretable graph artificial intelligence(GraphAI)framework to quantify such mechanisms in Chinese herbal formulas(CHFs).A multidimensional TCM knowledge graph(TCM-MKG;https://zenodo.org/records/13763953)was constructed,integrating seven standardized modules:TCM terminology,Chinese patent medicines(CPMs),Chinese herbal pieces(CHPs),pharmacognostic origins(POs),chemical compounds,biological targets,and diseases.A neighbor-diffusion strategy was used to address the sparsity of compound-target associations,increasing target coverage from 12.0%to 98.7%.Graph neural networks(GNNs)with attention mechanisms were applied to 6,080 CHFs,modeled as graphs with CHPs as nodes.To embed domain-specific semantics,virtual nodes medicinal properties,i.e.,therapeutic nature,flavor,and meridian tropism,were introduced,enabling interpretable modeling of inter-CHP relationships.The model quantitatively captured classical compatibility roles such as“monarch-minister-assistant-guide”,and uncovered TCM etiological types derived from diagnostic and efficacy patterns.Model validation using 215 CHFs used for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)management highlighted Radix Astragali-Rhizoma Phragmitis as a high-attention herb pair.Mass spectrometry(MS)and target prediction identified three active compounds,i.e.,methylinissolin-3-O-glucoside,corydalin,and pingbeinine,which converge on pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,xenobiotic response,and neuronal function,supporting their neuroimmune and detoxification potential.Given their high safety and dietary compatibility,this herb pair may offer therapeutic value for managing long COVID-19.All data and code are openly available(https://github.com/ZENGJingqi/GraphAI-for-TCM),providing a scalable and interpretable platform for TCM mechanism research and discovery of bioactive herbal constituents.

文摘Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) generates a ranked list of suspicious elements by using the program execution spectrum, but the excessive number of elements ranked in parallel results in low localization accuracy. Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.
文摘The ability to accurately predict urban traffic flows is crucial for optimising city operations.Consequently,various methods for forecasting urban traffic have been developed,focusing on analysing historical data to understand complex mobility patterns.Deep learning techniques,such as graph neural networks(GNNs),are popular for their ability to capture spatio-temporal dependencies.However,these models often become overly complex due to the large number of hyper-parameters involved.In this study,we introduce Dynamic Multi-Graph Spatial-Temporal Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equation Networks(DMST-GNODE),a framework based on ordinary differential equations(ODEs)that autonomously discovers effective spatial-temporal graph neural network(STGNN)architectures for traffic prediction tasks.The comparative analysis of DMST-GNODE and baseline models indicates that DMST-GNODE model demonstrates superior performance across multiple datasets,consistently achieving the lowest Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and Mean Absolute Error(MAE)values,alongside the highest accuracy.On the BKK(Bangkok)dataset,it outperformed other models with an RMSE of 3.3165 and an accuracy of 0.9367 for a 20-min interval,maintaining this trend across 40 and 60 min.Similarly,on the PeMS08 dataset,DMST-GNODE achieved the best performance with an RMSE of 19.4863 and an accuracy of 0.9377 at 20 min,demonstrating its effectiveness over longer periods.The Los_Loop dataset results further emphasise this model’s advantage,with an RMSE of 3.3422 and an accuracy of 0.7643 at 20 min,consistently maintaining superiority across all time intervals.These numerical highlights indicate that DMST-GNODE not only outperforms baseline models but also achieves higher accuracy and lower errors across different time intervals and datasets.

文摘Accurate and efficient prediction of the distribution of surface loads on buildings subjected to explosive effects is crucial for rapidly calculating structural dynamic responses,establishing effective protective measures,and designing civil defense engineering solutions.Current state-of-the-art methods face several issues:Experimental research is difficult and costly to implement,theoretical research is limited to simple geometries and lacks precision,and direct simulations require substantial computational resources.To address these challenges,this paper presents a data-driven method for predicting blast loads on building surfaces.This approach increases both the accuracy and computational efficiency of load predictions when the geometry of the building changes while the explosive yield remains constant,significantly improving its applicability in complex scenarios.This study introduces an innovative encoder-decoder graph neural network model named BlastGraphNet,which uses a message-passing mechanism to predict the overpressure and impulse load distributions on buildings with conventional and complex geometries during explosive events.The model also facilitates related downstream applications,such as damage mode identification and rapid assessment of virtual city explosions.The calculation results indicate that the prediction error of the model for conventional building tests is less than 2%,and its inference speed is 3-4 orders of magnitude faster than that of state-of-the-art numerical methods.In extreme test cases involving buildings with complex geometries and building clusters,the method achieved high accuracy and excellent generalizability.The strong adaptability and generalizability of BlastGraphNet confirm that this novel method enables precise real-time prediction of blast loads and provides a new paradigm for damage assessment in protective engineering.
