文摘Visible and infrared(RGB-IR)fusion object detection plays an important role in security,disaster relief,etc.In recent years,deep-learning-based RGB-IR fusion detection methods have been developing rapidly,but still struggle to deal with the complex and changing scenarios captured by drones,mainly due to two reasons:(A)RGB-IR fusion detectors are susceptible to inferior inputs that degrade performance and stability.(B)RGB-IR fusion detectors are susceptible to redundant features that reduce accuracy and efficiency.In this paper,an innovative RGB-IR fusion detection framework based on global-local feature optimization,named GLFDet,is proposed to improve the detection performance and efficiency of drone-captured objects.The key components of GLFDet include a Global Feature Optimization(GFO)module,a Local Feature Optimization(LFO)module and a Channel Separation Fusion(CSF)module.Specifically,GFO calculates the information content of the input image from the frequency domain and optimizes the features holistically.Then,LFO dynamically selects high-value features and filters out low-value features before fusion,which significantly improves the efficiency of fusion.Finally,CSF fuses the RGB and IR features across the corresponding channels,which avoids the rearrangement of the channel relationships and enhances the model stability.Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the best performance on three popular RGB-IR datasets Drone Vehicle,VEDAI,and LLVIP.In addition,GLFDet is more lightweight than other comparable models,making it more appealing to edge devices such as drones.The code is available at https://github.com/lao chen330/GLFDet.

文摘Automated essay scoring(AES)systems have gained significant importance in educational settings,offering a scalable,efficient,and objective method for evaluating student essays.However,developing AES systems for Arabic poses distinct challenges due to the language’s complex morphology,diglossia,and the scarcity of annotated datasets.This paper presents a hybrid approach to Arabic AES by combining text-based,vector-based,and embeddingbased similarity measures to improve essay scoring accuracy while minimizing the training data required.Using a large Arabic essay dataset categorized into thematic groups,the study conducted four experiments to evaluate the impact of feature selection,data size,and model performance.Experiment 1 established a baseline using a non-machine learning approach,selecting top-N correlated features to predict essay scores.The subsequent experiments employed 5-fold cross-validation.Experiment 2 showed that combining embedding-based,text-based,and vector-based features in a Random Forest(RF)model achieved an R2 of 88.92%and an accuracy of 83.3%within a 0.5-point tolerance.Experiment 3 further refined the feature selection process,demonstrating that 19 correlated features yielded optimal results,improving R2 to 88.95%.In Experiment 4,an optimal data efficiency training approach was introduced,where training data portions increased from 5%to 50%.The study found that using just 10%of the data achieved near-peak performance,with an R2 of 85.49%,emphasizing an effective trade-off between performance and computational costs.These findings highlight the potential of the hybrid approach for developing scalable Arabic AES systems,especially in low-resource environments,addressing linguistic challenges while ensuring efficient data usage.

文摘Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images.However,existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets,complex backgrounds,and small objects in remote sensing.Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot.Therefore,we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture,specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations,diverse orientations,and numerous small objects in remote sensing images.Our innovations lie in two main aspects:First,a dynamic snake convolution(DSC)is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability for oriented targets.Second,an innovative focusing-diffusion module is designed in the feature fusion neck to effectively integrate multi-scale feature information.Finally,we introduce Layer-Adaptive Sparsity for magnitude-based Pruning(LASP)method to perform lightweight network pruning to better complete tasks in resource-constrained scenarios.Experimental results on the lightweight platform Orin demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original YOLOv8s model in oriented remote sensing object detection tasks,and achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods on three authoritative remote sensing datasets(DOTA v1.0,DOTA v1.5,and HRSC2016).

文摘Discriminative region localization and efficient feature encoding are crucial for fine-grained object recognition.However,existing data augmentation methods struggle to accurately locate discriminative regions in complex backgrounds,small target objects,and limited training data,leading to poor recognition.Fine-grained images exhibit“small inter-class differences,”and while second-order feature encoding enhances discrimination,it often requires dual Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN),increasing training time and complexity.This study proposes a model integrating discriminative region localization and efficient second-order feature encoding.By ranking feature map channels via a fully connected layer,it selects high-importance channels to generate an enhanced map,accurately locating discriminative regions.Cropping and erasing augmentations further refine recognition.To improve efficiency,a novel second-order feature encoding module generates an attention map from the fourth convolutional group of Residual Network 50 layers(ResNet-50)and multiplies it with features from the fifth group,producing second-order features while reducing dimensionality and training time.Experiments on Caltech-University of California,San Diego Birds-200-2011(CUB-200-2011),Stanford Car,and Fine-Grained Visual Classification of Aircraft(FGVC Aircraft)datasets show state-of-the-art accuracy of 88.9%,94.7%,and 93.3%,respectively.

文摘Accurate purchase prediction in e-commerce critically depends on the quality of behavioral features.This paper proposes a layered and interpretable feature engineering framework that organizes user signals into three layers:Basic,Conversion&Stability(efficiency and volatility across actions),and Advanced Interactions&Activity(crossbehavior synergies and intensity).Using real Taobao(Alibaba’s primary e-commerce platform)logs(57,976 records for 10,203 users;25 November–03 December 2017),we conducted a hierarchical,layer-wise evaluation that holds data splits and hyperparameters fixed while varying only the feature set to quantify each layer’s marginal contribution.Across logistic regression(LR),decision tree,random forest,XGBoost,and CatBoost models with stratified 5-fold cross-validation,the performance improvedmonotonically fromBasic to Conversion&Stability to Advanced features.With LR,F1 increased from 0.613(Basic)to 0.962(Advanced);boosted models achieved high discrimination(0.995 AUC Score)and an F1 score up to 0.983.Calibration and precision–recall analyses indicated strong ranking quality and acknowledged potential dataset and period biases given the short(9-day)window.By making feature contributions measurable and reproducible,the framework complements model-centric advances and offers a transparent blueprint for production-grade behavioralmodeling.The code and processed artifacts are publicly available,and future work will extend the validation to longer,seasonal datasets and hybrid approaches that combine automated feature learning with domain-driven design.

文摘Succinonitrile(SN)-based polymer plastic crystal electrolytes(PPCEs)are regarded as promising candidates for lithium metal batteries but suffer from serious side reactions with Li metal.Herein,we propose a multi-dimensional optimization strategy to alleviate the side reactions between SN and Li metal,and develop a highly stable poly-vinylethylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VEC).Moreover,we identify the intrinsic factors of multi-dimensional polymer structures on the electrolyte stability by three typical classes of polyesters.The PPCE-VEC constructed by in situ polymerization exhibits much better stability than poly-vinylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VCA)and poly-trifluoroethyl acrylate-based PPCE(PPCE-TFA),which is verified by its fewer SN-decomposition species in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and outstanding full cell performance.The PPCE-VEC-enabled LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell achieve 73.7%capacity retention after 1400 cycles,which outperforms PPCE-VCA-and PPCE-TFA-enabled full cells(61.9%and 46.9%).Spectral analysis and theoretical calculation reveal that the high solvation ability of the carbonyl site,flexible polymer chain,and homogeneous electrolyte phase of PPCE-VEC are favorable to maximizing competition coordination with Li^(+)to weaken the Li^(+)–SN binding and shape an anion-rich solvation structure.This optimized polymer-involved Li^(+)solvation enhances SN stability and facilitates the formation of B/F enriched solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),thus significantly improving PPCE stability.

文摘The Financial Technology(FinTech)sector has witnessed rapid growth,resulting in increasingly complex and high-volume digital transactions.Although this expansion improves efficiency and accessibility,it also introduces significant vulnerabilities,including fraud,money laundering,and market manipulation.Traditional anomaly detection techniques often fail to capture the relational and dynamic characteristics of financial data.Graph Neural Networks(GNNs),capable of modeling intricate interdependencies among entities,have emerged as a powerful framework for detecting subtle and sophisticated anomalies.However,the high-dimensionality and inherent noise of FinTech datasets demand robust feature selection strategies to improve model scalability,performance,and interpretability.This paper presents a comprehensive survey of GNN-based approaches for anomaly detection in FinTech,with an emphasis on the synergistic role of feature selection.We examine the theoretical foundations of GNNs,review state-of-the-art feature selection techniques,analyze their integration with GNNs,and categorize prevalent anomaly types in FinTech applications.In addition,we discuss practical implementation challenges,highlight representative case studies,and propose future research directions to advance the field of graph-based anomaly detection in financial systems.

文摘Accurate detection of smoke and fire sources is critical for early fire warning and environmental monitoring.However,conventional detection approaches are highly susceptible to noise,illumination variations,and complex environmental conditions,which often reduce detection accuracy and real-time performance.To address these limitations,we propose Lightweight and Precise YOLO(LP-YOLO),a high-precision detection framework that integrates a self-attention mechanism with a feature pyramid,built upon YOLOv8.First,to overcome the restricted receptive field and parameter redundancy of conventional Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),we design an enhanced backbone based on Wavelet Convolutions(WTConv),which expands the receptive field through multifrequency convolutional processing.Second,a Bidirectional Feature Pyramid Network(BiFPN)is employed to achieve bidirectional feature fusion,enhancing the representation of smoke features across scales.Third,to mitigate the challenge of ambiguous object boundaries,we introduce the Frequency-aware Feature Fusion(FreqFusion)module,in which the Adaptive Low-Pass Filter(ALPF)reduces intra-class inconsistencies,the offset generator refines boundary localization,and the Adaptive High-Pass Filter(AHPF)recovers high-frequency details lost during down-sampling.Experimental evaluations demonstrate that LP-YOLO significantly outperforms the baseline YOLOv8,achieving an improvement of 9.3%in mAP@50 and 9.2%in F1-score.Moreover,the model is 56.6%and 32.4%smaller than YOLOv7-tiny and EfficientDet,respectively,while maintaining real-time inference speed at 238 frames per second(FPS).Validation on multiple benchmark datasets,including D-Fire,FIRESENSE,and BoWFire,further confirms its robustness and generalization ability,with detection accuracy consistently exceeding 82%.These results highlight the potential of LP-YOLO as a practical solution with high accuracy,robustness,and real-time performance for smoke and fire source detection.

文摘AIM:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of patients with orbital inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT).METHODS:This retrospective study collected clinical data from 22 patients diagnosed with orbital IMT based on histopathological examination.The patients were followed up to assess their prognosis.Clinical data from patients,including age,gender,course of disease,past medical history,primary symptoms,ophthalmologic examination findings,general condition,as well as imaging,laboratory,histopathological,and immunohistochemical results from digital records were collected.Orbital magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and(or)computed tomography(CT)scans were performed to assess bone destruction of the mass,invasion of surrounding tissues,and any inflammatory changes in periorbital areas.RESULTS:The mean age of patients with orbital IMT was 28.24±3.30y,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1.Main clinical manifestations were proptosis,blurred vision,palpable mass,and pain.Bone destruction and surrounding tissue invasion occurred in 72.73%and 54.55%of cases,respectively.Inflammatory changes in the periorbital site were observed in 77.27%of the patients.Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts,accompanied by infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells.Immunohistochemical staining revealed that smooth muscle actin(SMA)and vimentin were positive in 100%of cases,while anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK)showed positivity in 47.37%.The recurrence rate of orbital IMT was 27.27%,and sarcomatous degeneration could occur.There were no significant correlations between recurrence and factors such as age,gender,laterality,duration of the disease,periorbital tissue invasion,bone destruction,periorbital inflammation,tumor size,fever,leukocytosis,or treatment(P>0.05).However,lymphadenopathy and a Ki-67 index of 10%or higher may be risk factors for recurrence(P=0.046;P=0.023).CONCLUSION:Orbital IMT is a locally invasive disease that may recur or lead to sarcomatoid degeneration,primarily affecting young and middle-aged patients.The presence of lymphadenopathy and a Ki-67 index of 10%or higher may signify a poor prognosis.
文摘BACKGROUND SMARCB1/INI1-deficient pancreatic undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor,and spontaneous splenic rupture(SSR)as its presenting manifestation is rarely reported among pancreatic malignancies.CASE SUMMARY We herein report a rare case of a 59-year-old female who presented with acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain without any history of trauma.Abdominal imaging demonstrated a heterogeneous splenic lesion with hemoperitoneum,raising clinical suspicion of SSR.Emergency laparotomy revealed a pancreatic tumor invading the spleen and left kidney,with associated splenic rupture and dense adhesions,necessitating en bloc resection of the distal pancreas,spleen,and left kidney.Histopathology revealed a biphasic malignancy composed of moderately differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and an undifferentiated carcinoma with rhabdoid morphology and loss of SMARCB1 expression.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed complete loss of SMARCB1/INI1 in the undifferentiated component,along with a high Ki-67 index(approximately 80%)and CD10 positivity.The ductal adenocarcinoma component retained SMARCB1/INI1 expression and was positive for CK7 and CK-pan.Transitional zones between the two tumor components suggested progressive dedifferentiation and underlying genomic instability.The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel and maintained a satisfactory quality of life at the 6-month follow-up.CONCLUSION This study reports a rare case of SMARCB1/INI1-deficient undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma of the pancreas combined with ductal adenocarcinoma,presenting as SSR-an exceptionally uncommon initial manifestation of pancreatic malignancy.
文摘In recent years,with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence,object detection algorithms have made significant strides in accuracy and computational efficiency.Notably,research and applications of Anchor-Free models have opened new avenues for real-time target detection in optical remote sensing images(ORSIs).However,in the realmof adversarial attacks,developing adversarial techniques tailored to Anchor-Freemodels remains challenging.Adversarial examples generated based on Anchor-Based models often exhibit poor transferability to these new model architectures.Furthermore,the growing diversity of Anchor-Free models poses additional hurdles to achieving robust transferability of adversarial attacks.This study presents an improved cross-conv-block feature fusion You Only Look Once(YOLO)architecture,meticulously engineered to facilitate the extraction ofmore comprehensive semantic features during the backpropagation process.To address the asymmetry between densely distributed objects in ORSIs and the corresponding detector outputs,a novel dense bounding box attack strategy is proposed.This approach leverages dense target bounding boxes loss in the calculation of adversarial loss functions.Furthermore,by integrating translation-invariant(TI)and momentum-iteration(MI)adversarial methodologies,the proposed framework significantly improves the transferability of adversarial attacks.Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves superior adversarial attack performance,with adversarial transferability rates(ATR)of 67.53%on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset and 90.71%on the HRSC2016 dataset.Compared to ensemble adversarial attack and cascaded adversarial attack approaches,our method generates adversarial examples in an average of 0.64 s,representing an approximately 14.5%improvement in efficiency under equivalent conditions.

文摘At inference time,deep neural networks are susceptible to backdoor attacks,which can produce attackercontrolled outputs when inputs contain carefully crafted triggers.Existing defense methods often focus on specific attack types or incur high costs,such as data cleaning or model fine-tuning.In contrast,we argue that it is possible to achieve effective and generalizable defense without removing triggers or incurring high model-cleaning costs.Fromthe attacker’s perspective and based on characteristics of vulnerable neuron activation anomalies,we propose an Adaptive Feature Injection(AFI)method for black-box backdoor detection.AFI employs a pre-trained image encoder to extract multi-level deep features and constructs a dynamic weight fusionmechanism for precise identification and interception of poisoned samples.Specifically,we select the control samples with the largest feature differences fromthe clean dataset via feature-space analysis,and generate blended sample pairs with the test sample using dynamic linear interpolation.The detection statistic is computed by measuring the divergence G(x)in model output responses.We systematically evaluate the effectiveness of AFI against representative backdoor attacks,including BadNets,Blend,WaNet,and IAB,on three benchmark datasets:MNIST,CIFAR-10,and ImageNet.Experimental results show that AFI can effectively detect poisoned samples,achieving average detection rates of 95.20%,94.15%,and 86.49%on these datasets,respectively.Compared with existing methods,AFI demonstrates strong cross-domain generalization ability and robustness to unknown attacks.

文摘Camouflaged Object Detection(COD)aims to identify objects that share highly similar patterns—such as texture,intensity,and color—with their surrounding environment.Due to their intrinsic resemblance to the background,camouflaged objects often exhibit vague boundaries and varying scales,making it challenging to accurately locate targets and delineate their indistinct edges.To address this,we propose a novel camouflaged object detection network called Edge-Guided and Multi-scale Fusion Network(EGMFNet),which leverages edge-guided multi-scale integration for enhanced performance.The model incorporates two innovative components:a Multi-scale Fusion Module(MSFM)and an Edge-Guided Attention Module(EGA).These designs exploit multi-scale features to uncover subtle cues between candidate objects and the background while emphasizing camouflaged object boundaries.Moreover,recognizing the rich contextual information in fused features,we introduce a Dual-Branch Global Context Module(DGCM)to refine features using extensive global context,thereby generatingmore informative representations.Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that EGMFNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods across five evaluation metrics.Specifically,on COD10K,our EGMFNet-P improves F_(β)by 4.8 points and reduces mean absolute error(MAE)by 0.006 compared with ZoomNeXt;on NC4K,it achieves a 3.6-point increase in F_(β).OnCAMO and CHAMELEON,it obtains 4.5-point increases in F_(β),respectively.These consistent gains substantiate the superiority and robustness of EGMFNet.

文摘High-dimensional data causes difficulties in machine learning due to high time consumption and large memory requirements.In particular,in amulti-label environment,higher complexity is required asmuch as the number of labels.Moreover,an optimization problem that fully considers all dependencies between features and labels is difficult to solve.In this study,we propose a novel regression-basedmulti-label feature selectionmethod that integrates mutual information to better exploit the underlying data structure.By incorporating mutual information into the regression formulation,the model captures not only linear relationships but also complex non-linear dependencies.The proposed objective function simultaneously considers three types of relationships:(1)feature redundancy,(2)featurelabel relevance,and(3)inter-label dependency.These three quantities are computed usingmutual information,allowing the proposed formulation to capture nonlinear dependencies among variables.These three types of relationships are key factors in multi-label feature selection,and our method expresses them within a unified formulation,enabling efficient optimization while simultaneously accounting for all of them.To efficiently solve the proposed optimization problem under non-negativity constraints,we develop a gradient-based optimization algorithm with fast convergence.Theexperimental results on sevenmulti-label datasets show that the proposed method outperforms existingmulti-label feature selection techniques.
文摘The initial noise present in the depth images obtained with RGB-D sensors is a combination of hardware limitations in addition to the environmental factors,due to the limited capabilities of sensors,which also produce poor computer vision results.The common image denoising techniques tend to remove significant image details and also remove noise,provided they are based on space and frequency filtering.The updated framework presented in this paper is a novel denoising model that makes use of Boruta-driven feature selection using a Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoder(LSTMAE).The Boruta algorithm identifies the most useful depth features that are used to maximize the spatial structure integrity and reduce redundancy.An LSTMAE is then used to process these selected features and model depth pixel sequences to generate robust,noise-resistant representations.The system uses the encoder to encode the input data into a latent space that has been compressed before it is decoded to retrieve the clean image.Experiments on a benchmark data set show that the suggested technique attains a PSNR of 45 dB and an SSIM of 0.90,which is 10 dB higher than the performance of conventional convolutional autoencoders and 15 times higher than that of the wavelet-based models.Moreover,the feature selection step will decrease the input dimensionality by 40%,resulting in a 37.5%reduction in training time and a real-time inference rate of 200 FPS.Boruta-LSTMAE framework,therefore,offers a highly efficient and scalable system for depth image denoising,with a high potential to be applied to close-range 3D systems,such as robotic manipulation and gesture-based interfaces.

文摘Most Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)interpretation techniques visualize only the dominant cues that the model relies on,but there is no guarantee that these represent all the evidence the model uses for classification.This limitation becomes critical when hidden secondary cues—potentially more meaningful than the visualized ones—remain undiscovered.This study introduces CasCAM(Cascaded Class Activation Mapping)to address this fundamental limitation through counterfactual reasoning.By asking“if this dominant cue were absent,what other evidence would the model use?”,CasCAM progressively masks the most salient features and systematically uncovers the hierarchy of classification evidence hidden beneath them.Experimental results demonstrate that CasCAM effectively discovers the full spectrum of reasoning evidence and can be universally applied with nine existing interpretation methods.

文摘This research centers on structural health monitoring of bridges,a critical transportation infrastructure.Owing to the cumulative action of heavy vehicle loads,environmental variations,and material aging,bridge components are prone to cracks and other defects,severely compromising structural safety and service life.Traditional inspection methods relying on manual visual assessment or vehicle-mounted sensors suffer from low efficiency,strong subjectivity,and high costs,while conventional image processing techniques and early deep learning models(e.g.,UNet,Faster R-CNN)still performinadequately in complex environments(e.g.,varying illumination,noise,false cracks)due to poor perception of fine cracks andmulti-scale features,limiting practical application.To address these challenges,this paper proposes CACNN-Net(CBAM-Augmented CNN),a novel dual-encoder architecture that innovatively couples a CNN for local detail extraction with a CBAM-Transformer for global context modeling.A key contribution is the dedicated Feature FusionModule(FFM),which strategically integratesmulti-scale features and focuses attention on crack regions while suppressing irrelevant noise.Experiments on bridge crack datasets demonstrate that CACNNNet achieves a precision of 77.6%,a recall of 79.4%,and an mIoU of 62.7%.These results significantly outperform several typical models(e.g.,UNet-ResNet34,Deeplabv3),confirming their superior accuracy and robust generalization,providing a high-precision automated solution for bridge crack detection and a novel network design paradigm for structural surface defect identification in complex scenarios,while future research may integrate physical features like depth information to advance intelligent infrastructure maintenance and digital twin management.
