Traditional learning algorithms, however, have to depend on samples with complete labels. The existing learning algorithms with missing labels do not consider the relevance of labels, resulting in label estimation errors of new samples. A new multi-label learning algorithm with support vector machine(SVM) based association(SVMA) is proposed to estimate missing labels by constructing the association between different labels. SVMA will establish a mapping function to minimize the number of samples in the margin while ensuring the margin large enough as well as minimizing the misclassification probability. To evaluate the performance of SVMA in the condition of missing labels, four typical data sets are adopted with the integrity of the labels being handled manually. Simulation results show the superiority of SVMA in dealing with the samples with missing labels compared with other models in image classification.展开更多

However, multi-label datasets are prone to serious intra-class and inter-class imbalance problems, which can significantly degrade the classification performance. To address the above issues, we propose the multi-label weighted broad learning system(MLW-BLS) from the perspective of label imbalance weighting and label correlation mining. Further, we propose the multi-label adaptive weighted broad learning system(MLAW-BLS) to adaptively adjust the specific weights and values of labels of MLW-BLS and construct an efficient imbalanced classifier set. Extensive experiments are conducted on various datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, and the results demonstrate its superiority over other advanced approaches.展开更多

文摘The uplift resistance of the soil overlying shield tunnels significantly impacts their anti-floating stability.However,research on uplift resistance concerning special-shaped shield tunnels is limited.This study combines numerical simulation with machine learning techniques to explore this issue.It presents a summary of special-shaped tunnel geometries and introduces a shape coefficient.Through the finite element software,Plaxis3D,the study simulates six key parameters—shape coefficient,burial depth ratio,tunnel’s longest horizontal length,internal friction angle,cohesion,and soil submerged bulk density—that impact uplift resistance across different conditions.Employing XGBoost and ANN methods,the feature importance of each parameter was analyzed based on the numerical simulation results.The findings demonstrate that a tunnel shape more closely resembling a circle leads to reduced uplift resistance in the overlying soil,whereas other parameters exhibit the contrary effects.Furthermore,the study reveals a diminishing trend in the feature importance of buried depth ratio,internal friction angle,tunnel longest horizontal length,cohesion,soil submerged bulk density,and shape coefficient in influencing uplift resistance.
文摘Federated Learning(FL)has become a leading decentralized solution that enables multiple clients to train a model in a collaborative environment without directly sharing raw data,making it suitable for privacy-sensitive applications such as healthcare,finance,and smart systems.As the field continues to evolve,the research field has become more complex and scattered,covering different system designs,training methods,and privacy techniques.This survey is organized around the three core challenges:how the data is distributed,how models are synchronized,and how to defend against attacks.It provides a structured and up-to-date review of FL research from 2023 to 2025,offering a unified taxonomy that categorizes works by data distribution(Horizontal FL,Vertical FL,Federated Transfer Learning,and Personalized FL),training synchronization(synchronous and asynchronous FL),optimization strategies,and threat models(data leakage and poisoning attacks).In particular,we summarize the latest contributions in Vertical FL frameworks for secure multi-party learning,communication-efficient Horizontal FL,and domain-adaptive Federated Transfer Learning.Furthermore,we examine synchronization techniques addressing system heterogeneity,including straggler mitigation in synchronous FL and staleness management in asynchronous FL.The survey covers security threats in FL,such as gradient inversion,membership inference,and poisoning attacks,as well as their defense strategies that include privacy-preserving aggregation and anomaly detection.The paper concludes by outlining unresolved issues and highlighting challenges in handling personalized models,scalability,and real-world adoption.

文摘Split Learning(SL)has been promoted as a promising collaborative machine learning technique designed to address data privacy and resource efficiency.Specifically,neural networks are divided into client and server subnetworks in order to mitigate the exposure of sensitive data and reduce the overhead on client devices,thereby making SL particularly suitable for resource-constrained devices.Although SL prevents the direct transmission of raw data,it does not alleviate entirely the risk of privacy breaches.In fact,the data intermediately transmitted to the server sub-model may include patterns or information that could reveal sensitive data.Moreover,achieving a balance between model utility and data privacy has emerged as a challenging problem.In this article,we propose a novel defense approach that combines:(i)Adversarial learning,and(ii)Network channel pruning.In particular,the proposed adversarial learning approach is specifically designed to reduce the risk of private data exposure while maintaining high performance for the utility task.On the other hand,the suggested channel pruning enables the model to adaptively adjust and reactivate pruned channels while conducting adversarial training.The integration of these two techniques reduces the informativeness of the intermediate data transmitted by the client sub-model,thereby enhancing its robustness against attribute inference attacks without adding significant computational overhead,making it wellsuited for IoT devices,mobile platforms,and Internet of Vehicles(IoV)scenarios.The proposed defense approach was evaluated using EfficientNet-B0,a widely adopted compact model,along with three benchmark datasets.The obtained results showcased its superior defense capability against attribute inference attacks compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.This research’s findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed channel pruning-based adversarial training approach in achieving the intended compromise between utility and privacy within SL frameworks.In fact,the classification accuracy attained by the attackers witnessed a drastic decrease of 70%.
文摘Knowledge distillation has become a standard technique for compressing large language models into efficient student models,but existing methods often struggle to balance prediction accuracy with explanation quality.Recent approaches such as Distilling Step-by-Step(DSbS)introduce explanation supervision,yet they apply it in a uniform manner that may not fully exploit the different learning dynamics of prediction and explanation.In this work,we propose a task-structured curriculum learning(TSCL)framework that structures training into three sequential phases:(i)prediction-only,to establish stable feature representations;(ii)joint prediction-explanation,to align task outputs with rationale generation;and(iii)explanation-only,to refine the quality of rationales.This design provides a simple but effective modification to DSbS,requiring no architectural changes and adding negligible training cost.We justify the phase scheduling with ablation studies and convergence analysis,showing that an initial prediction-heavy stage followed by a balanced joint phase improves both stability and explanation alignment.Extensive experiments on five datasets(e-SNLI,ANLI,CommonsenseQA,SVAMP,and MedNLI)demonstrate that TSCL consistently outperforms strong baselines,achieving gains of+1.7-2.6 points in accuracy and 0.8-1.2 in ROUGE-L,corresponding to relative error reductions of up to 21%.Beyond lexical metrics,human evaluation and ERASERstyle faithfulness diagnostics confirm that TSCL produces more faithful and informative explanations.Comparative training curves further reveal faster convergence and lower variance across seeds.Efficiency analysis shows less than 3%overhead in wall-clock training time and no additional inference cost,making the approach practical for realworld deployment.This study demonstrates that a simple task-structured curriculum can significantly improve the effectiveness of knowledge distillation.By separating and sequencing objectives,TSCL achieves a better balance between accuracy,stability,and explanation quality.The framework generalizes across domains,including medical NLI,and offers a principled recipe for future applications in multimodal reasoning and reinforcement learning.

文摘Automated grading of dandruff severity is a clinically significant but challenging task due to the inherent ordinal nature of severity levels and the high prevalence of label noise from subjective expert annotations.Standard classification methods fail to address these dual challenges,limiting their real-world performance.In this paper,a novel,three-phase training framework is proposed that learns a robust ordinal classifier directly from noisy labels.The approach synergistically combines a rank-based ordinal regression backbone with a cooperative,semi-supervised learning strategy to dynamically partition the data into clean and noisy subsets.A hybrid training objective is then employed,applying a supervised ordinal loss to the clean set.The noisy set is simultaneously trained using a dualobjective that combines a semi-supervised ordinal loss with a parallel,label-agnostic contrastive loss.This design allows themodel to learn fromthe entire noisy subset while using contrastive learning to mitigate the risk of error propagation frompotentially corrupt supervision.Extensive experiments on a new,large-scale,multi-site clinical dataset validate our approach.Themethod achieves state-of-the-art performance with 80.71%accuracy and a 76.86%F1-score,significantly outperforming existing approaches,including a 2.26%improvement over the strongest baseline method.This work provides not only a robust solution for a practical medical imaging problem but also a generalizable framework for other tasks plagued by noisy ordinal labels.
文摘Adversarial Reinforcement Learning(ARL)models for intelligent devices and Network Intrusion Detection Systems(NIDS)improve systemresilience against sophisticated cyber-attacks.As a core component of ARL,Adversarial Training(AT)enables NIDS agents to discover and prevent newattack paths by exposing them to competing examples,thereby increasing detection accuracy,reducing False Positives(FPs),and enhancing network security.To develop robust decision-making capabilities for real-world network disruptions and hostile activity,NIDS agents are trained in adversarial scenarios to monitor the current state and notify management of any abnormal or malicious activity.The accuracy and timeliness of the IDS were crucial to the network’s availability and reliability at this time.This paper analyzes ARL applications in NIDS,revealing State-of-The-Art(SoTA)methodology,issues,and future research prospects.This includes Reinforcement Machine Learning(RML)-based NIDS,which enables an agent to interact with the environment to achieve a goal,andDeep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)-based NIDS,which can solve complex decision-making problems.Additionally,this survey study addresses cybersecurity adversarial circumstances and their importance for ARL and NIDS.Architectural design,RL algorithms,feature representation,and training methodologies are examined in the ARL-NIDS study.This comprehensive study evaluates ARL for intelligent NIDS research,benefiting cybersecurity researchers,practitioners,and policymakers.The report promotes cybersecurity defense research and innovation.
