Drawing on the theory of representation, it contends that both forms of knowledge are socially constructed, moulded by communication, norms and group dynamics. Rather than labelling non-scientific thought as flawed or regressive, the discussion shows how decontextualization and recontextualization processes apply equally to everyday ‘natural' knowledge and formal science,exposing the social and historical contingencies shaping concepts. Consequently, rupture appears less a sudden break than a gradual threshold reached through dialectical transformations in cognition and society. Rather than conferring total superiority on science, ruptures highlight how certain discourses gain legitimacy while others become ‘non-knowledge'. The article concludes that science's dominance reflects broader power relationships and evolving modes of production and validation. By situating epistemological rupture within these processes, it illuminates how different knowledge forms coexist, evolve and sometimes conflict in stratified social fields—ultimately challenging a simplistic binary between scientific progress and supposedly primitive or natural thought. This viewpoint opens new possibilities for examining the shifting boundaries between rational explanations and the shared beliefs shaping collective reality and daily life.展开更多

The conservation objectives of protected areas have shifted from a narrow emphasis on biodiversity to encompass broader considerations such as ecosystem stability, community resilience to climate change, and enhancement of human well-being. Given these multifaceted objectives, it is imperative to judiciously allocate resources to effectively conserve biodiversity by identifying strategically significant areas for conservation, particularly for mountainous areas. In this study, we evaluated the representativeness of the protected area network in the Qin ling Mountains concerning species diversity, ecosystem services, climate stability and ecological stability. The results indicate that some of the ecological indicators are spatially correlated with topographic gradient effects. The conservation priority areas predominantly lie in the northern foothills, the southeastern, and southwestern parts of the Qinling Mountain with areas concentrated at altitudes between 1,500-2,000 m and slopes between 40°-50° as hotspots. The conservation priority areas identified through the framework of inclusive conservation optimization account for 22.9 % of the Qinling Mountain. Existing protected areas comprise only 6.1 % of the Qinling Mountain and 13.18 % of the conservation priority areas. This will play an important role in achiev ing sustainable development in the region and in meeting the post-2020 biodiversity target. The framework can advance the different objectives of achieving a quadruple win and can also be extended to other regions.展开更多

文摘The escalating complexity and heterogeneity of modern energy systems—particularly in smart grid and distributed energy infrastructures—has intensified the need for intelligent and scalable security vulnerability classification.To address this challenge,we propose Vulnerability2Vec,a graph-embedding-based framework designed to enhance the automated classification of security vulnerabilities that threaten energy system resilience.Vulnerability2Vec converts Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures(CVE)text explanations to semantic graphs,where nodes represent CVE IDs and key terms(nouns,verbs,and adjectives),and edges capture co-occurrence relationships.Then,it embeds the semantic graphs to a low-dimensional vector space with random-walk sampling and skip-gram with negative sampling.It is possible to identify the latent relationships and structural patterns that traditional sparse vector methods fail to capture.Experimental results demonstrate a classification accuracy of up to 80%,significantly outperforming baseline methods.This approach offers a theoretical basis for classifying vulnerability types as structured semantic patterns in complex software systems.The proposed method models the semantic structure of vulnerabilities,providing a theoretical foundation for their classification.

文摘Establishing and maintaining protected areas is a pivotal strategy for attaining the post-2020 biodiversity target. The conservation objectives of protected areas have shifted from a narrow emphasis on biodiversity to encompass broader considerations such as ecosystem stability, community resilience to climate change, and enhancement of human well-being. Given these multifaceted objectives, it is imperative to judiciously allocate resources to effectively conserve biodiversity by identifying strategically significant areas for conservation, particularly for mountainous areas. In this study, we evaluated the representativeness of the protected area network in the Qin ling Mountains concerning species diversity, ecosystem services, climate stability and ecological stability. The results indicate that some of the ecological indicators are spatially correlated with topographic gradient effects. The conservation priority areas predominantly lie in the northern foothills, the southeastern, and southwestern parts of the Qinling Mountain with areas concentrated at altitudes between 1,500-2,000 m and slopes between 40°-50° as hotspots. The conservation priority areas identified through the framework of inclusive conservation optimization account for 22.9 % of the Qinling Mountain. Existing protected areas comprise only 6.1 % of the Qinling Mountain and 13.18 % of the conservation priority areas. This will play an important role in achiev ing sustainable development in the region and in meeting the post-2020 biodiversity target. The framework can advance the different objectives of achieving a quadruple win and can also be extended to other regions.

文摘Considering that the algorithm accuracy of the traditional sparse representation models is not high under the influence of multiple complex environmental factors,this study focuses on the improvement of feature extraction and model construction.Firstly,the convolutional neural network(CNN)features of the face are extracted by the trained deep learning network.Next,the steady-state and dynamic classifiers for face recognition are constructed based on the CNN features and Haar features respectively,with two-stage sparse representation introduced in the process of constructing the steady-state classifier and the feature templates with high reliability are dynamically selected as alternative templates from the sparse representation template dictionary constructed using the CNN features.Finally,the results of face recognition are given based on the classification results of the steady-state classifier and the dynamic classifier together.Based on this,the feature weights of the steady-state classifier template are adjusted in real time and the dictionary set is dynamically updated to reduce the probability of irrelevant features entering the dictionary set.The average recognition accuracy of this method is 94.45%on the CMU PIE face database and 96.58%on the AR face database,which is significantly improved compared with that of the traditional face recognition methods.

文摘Optical singularities are topological defects of electromagnetic fields;they include phase singularity in scalar fields,polarization singularity in vector fields,and three-dimensional(3D)singularities such as optical skyrmions.The exploitation of photonic microstructures to generate and manipulate optical singularities has attracted wide research interest in recent years,with many photonic microstructures having been devised to this end.Accompanying these designs,scattered phenomenological theories have been proposed to expound the working mechanisms behind individual designs.In this work,instead of focusing on a specific type of microstructure,we concentrate on the most common geometric features of these microstructures—namely,symmetries—and revisit the process of generating optical singularities in microstructures from a symmetry viewpoint.By systematically employing the projection operator technique in group theory,we develop a widely applicable theoretical scheme to explore optical singularities in microstructures with rosette(i.e.,rotational and reflection)symmetries.Our scheme agrees well with previously reported works and further reveals that the eigenmodes of a symmetric microstructure can support multiplexed phase singularities in different components,such as out-of-plane,radial,azimuthal,and left-and right-handed circular components.Based on these phase singularities,more complicated optical singularities may be synthesized,including C points,V points,L lines,Néel-and bubble-type optical skyrmions,and optical lattices,to name a few.We demonstrate that the topological invariants associated with optical singularities are protected by the symmetries of the microstructure.Lastly,based on symmetry arguments,we formulate a so-called symmetry matching condition to clarify the excitation of a specific type of optical singularity.Our work establishes a unified theoretical framework to explore optical singularities in photonic microstructures with symmetries,shedding light on the symmetry origin of multidimensional and multiplexed optical singularities and providing a symmetry perspective for exploring many singularity-related effects in optics and photonics.
文摘Society is increasingly relying on artificially intelligent(Al)systems to facilitate,and sometimes even automate,critical systems that have huge impacts on the people these systems are designed to serve.But the unique nature of Al systems opens up new challenges regarding their ethical use.For example,①unrepresentative training data can introduce sampling bias,leading to unfair outcomes;and lack of data equity can introduce systemic bias into the system.At the university level,how to provide ethics training within the limits of typical computer science(CS)programs is non-trivial,as current CS education programs already face heavy burdens from unprecedented demand.In particular,the University of Michigan is exploring ways of introducing ethics training within the CS curricula,including both stand-alone courses and integrated modules.

文摘Skin diseases affect millions worldwide.Early detection is key to preventing disfigurement,lifelong disability,or death.Dermoscopic images acquired in primary-care settings show high intra-class visual similarity and severe class imbalance,and occasional imaging artifacts can create ambiguity for state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs).We frame skin lesion recognition as graph-based reasoning and,to ensure fair evaluation and avoid data leakage,adopt a strict lesion-level partitioning strategy.Each image is first over-segmented using SLIC(Simple Linear Iterative Clustering)to produce perceptually homogeneous superpixels.These superpixels form the nodes of a region-adjacency graph whose edges encode spatial continuity.Node attributes are 1280-dimensional embeddings extracted with a lightweight yet expressive EfficientNet-B0 backbone,providing strong representational power at modest computational cost.The resulting graphs are processed by a five-layer Graph Attention Network(GAT)that learns to weight inter-node relationships dynamically and aggregates multi-hop context before classifying lesions into seven classes with a log-softmax output.Extensive experiments on the DermaMNIST benchmark show the proposed pipeline achieves 88.35%accuracy and 98.04%AUC,outperforming contemporary CNNs,AutoML approaches,and alternative graph neural networks.An ablation study indicates EfficientNet-B0 produces superior node descriptors compared with ResNet-18 and DenseNet,and that roughly five GAT layers strike a good balance between being too shallow and over-deep while avoiding oversmoothing.The method requires no data augmentation or external metadata,making it a drop-in upgrade for clinical computer-aided diagnosis systems.

文摘Clustering is a pivotal data analysis method for deciphering the charge transport properties of single molecules in break junction experiments.However,given the high dimensionality and variability of the data,feature extraction remains a bottleneck in the development of efficient clustering methods.In this regard,extensive research over the past two decades has focused on feature engineering and dimensionality reduction in break junction conductance.However,extracting highly relevant features without expert knowledge remains an unresolved challenge.To address this issue,we propose a deep clustering method driven by task-oriented representation learning(CTRL)in which the clustering module serves as a guide for the representation learning(RepL)module.First,we determine an optimal autoencoder(AE)structure through a neural architecture search(NAS)to ensure efficient RepL;second,the RepL process is guided by a joint training strategy that combines AE reconstruction loss with the clustering objective.The results demonstrate that CTRL achieves excellent performance on both the generated and experimental data.Further inspection of the RepL step reveals that joint training robustly learns more compact features than the unconstrained AE or traditional dimensionality reduction methods,significantly reducing misclustering possibilities.Our method provides a general end-to-end automatic clustering solution for analyzing single-molecule break junction data.

文摘There are all kinds of unknown and known signals in the actual electromagnetic environment,which hinders the development of practical cognitive radio applications.However,most existing signal recognition models are difficult to discover unknown signals while recognizing known ones.In this paper,a compact manifold mixup feature-based open-set recognition approach(OR-CMMF)is proposed to address the above problem.First,the proposed approach utilizes the center loss to constrain decision boundaries so that it obtains the compact latent signal feature representations and extends the low-confidence feature space.Second,the latent signal feature representations are used to construct synthetic representations as substitutes for unknown categories of signals.Then,these constructed representations can occupy the extended low-confidence space.Finally,the proposed approach applies the distillation loss to adjust the decision boundaries between the known categories signals and the constructed unknown categories substitutes so that it accurately discovers unknown signals.The OR-CMMF approach outperformed other state-of-the-art open-set recognition methods in comprehensive recognition performance and running time,as demonstrated by simulation experiments on two public datasets RML2016.10a and ORACLE.

文摘Emotion recognition under uncontrolled and noisy environments presents persistent challenges in the design of emotionally responsive systems.The current study introduces an audio-visual recognition framework designed to address performance degradation caused by environmental interference,such as background noise,overlapping speech,and visual obstructions.The proposed framework employs a structured fusion approach,combining early-stage feature-level integration with decision-level coordination guided by temporal attention mechanisms.Audio data are transformed into mel-spectrogram representations,and visual data are represented as raw frame sequences.Spatial and temporal features are extracted through convolutional and transformer-based encoders,allowing the framework to capture complementary and hierarchical information fromboth sources.Across-modal attentionmodule enables selective emphasis on relevant signals while suppressing modality-specific noise.Performance is validated on a modified version of the AFEW dataset,in which controlled noise is introduced to emulate realistic conditions.The framework achieves higher classification accuracy than comparative baselines,confirming increased robustness under conditions of cross-modal disruption.This result demonstrates the suitability of the proposed method for deployment in practical emotion-aware technologies operating outside controlled environments.The study also contributes a systematic approach to fusion design and supports further exploration in the direction of resilientmultimodal emotion analysis frameworks.The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/asmoon002/AVER(accessed on 18 August 2025).

文摘Difficulty in extracting nonlinear sparse impulse features due to variable speed conditions and redundant noise interference leads to challenges in diagnosing variable speed faults.Therefore,an improved spectral amplitude modulation(ISAM)based on sparse feature adaptive convolution(SFAC)is proposed to enhance the fault features under variable speed conditions.First,an optimal bi-damped wavelet construction method is proposed to learn signal impulse features,which selects the optimal bi-damped wavelet parameters with correlation criterion and particle swarm optimization.Second,a convolutional basis pursuit denoising model based on an optimal bi-damped wavelet is proposed for resolving sparse impulses.A model regularization parameter selection method based on weighted fault characteristic amplitude ratio assistance is proposed.Then,an ISAM method based on kurtosis threshold is proposed to further enhance the fault information of sparse signal.Finally,the type of variable speed faults is determined by order spectrum analysis.Various experimental results,such as spectral amplitude modulation and Morlet wavelet matching,verify the effectiveness and advantages of the ISAM-SFAC method.

文摘Background Three-dimensional(3D)shape representation using mesh data is essential in various applications,such as virtual reality and simulation technologies.Current methods for extracting features from mesh edges or faces struggle with complex 3D models because edge-based approaches miss global contexts and face-based methods overlook variations in adjacent areas,which affects the overall precision.To address these issues,we propose the Feature Discrimination and Context Propagation Network(FDCPNet),which is a novel approach that synergistically integrates local and global features in mesh datasets.Methods FDCPNet is composed of two modules:(1)the Feature Discrimination Module,which employs an attention mechanism to enhance the identification of key local features,and(2)the Context Propagation Module,which enriches key local features by integrating global contextual information,thereby facilitating a more detailed and comprehensive representation of crucial areas within the mesh model.Results Experiments on popular datasets validated the effectiveness of FDCPNet,showing an improvement in the classification accuracy over the baseline MeshNet.Furthermore,even with reduced mesh face numbers and limited training data,FDCPNet achieved promising results,demonstrating its robustness in scenarios of variable complexity.
