It is important to explore the spatial-temporal characteristics of seismicity clusters and their spatial heterogeneity. We analyze effects of plate space, tectonic style, and their interaction on characteristic of cluster.Based on data of earthquakes not less than moment magnitude(M_w) 5.6 from 1960 to 2014, this study used the spatial-temporal scan method to identify earthquake clusters. The results indicate that seismic spatial-temporal clusters can be classified into two types based on duration: persistent clusters and burst clusters. Finally, we analysed the spatial heterogeneity of the two types. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) Ninety percent of the persistent clusters last for 22-38 yr and show a high clustering likelihood;ninety percent of the burst clusters last for 1-1.78 yr and show a high relative risk. 2) The persistent clusters are mainly distributed in interplate zones, especially along the western margin of the Pacific Ocean. The burst clusters are distributed in both intraplate and interplate zones, slightly concentrated in the India-Eurasia interaction zone. 3) For the persistent type, plate interaction plays an important role in the distribution of the clusters’ likelihood and relative risk. In addition, the tectonic style further enhances the spatial heterogeneity. 4) For the burst type,neither plate activity nor tectonic style has an obvious effect on the distribution of the clusters’ likelihood and relative risk. Nevertheless,interaction between these two spatial factors enhances the spatial heterogeneity, especially in terms of relative risk.展开更多

To address ...Accurate traffic flow prediction has a profound impact on modern traffic management. Traffic flow has complex spatial-temporal correlations and periodicity, which poses difficulties for precise prediction. To address this problem, a Multi-head Self-attention and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (MSSTGCN) for multiscale traffic flow prediction is proposed. Firstly, to capture the hidden traffic periodicity of traffic flow, traffic flow is divided into three kinds of periods, including hourly, daily, and weekly data. Secondly, a graph attention residual layer is constructed to learn the global spatial features across regions. Local spatial-temporal dependence is captured by using a T-GCN module. Thirdly, a transformer layer is introduced to learn the long-term dependence in time. A position embedding mechanism is introduced to label position information for all traffic sequences. Thus, this multi-head self-attention mechanism can recognize the sequence order and allocate weights for different time nodes. Experimental results on four real-world datasets show that the MSSTGCN performs better than the baseline methods and can be successfully adapted to traffic prediction tasks.展开更多

文摘For multi-vehicle networks,Cooperative Positioning(CP)technique has become a promising way to enhance vehicle positioning accuracy.Especially,the CP performance could be further improved by introducing Sensor-Rich Vehicles(SRVs)into CP networks,which is called SRV-aided CP.However,the CP system may split into several sub-clusters that cannot be connected with each other in dense urban environments,in which the sub-clusters with few SRVs will suffer from degradation of CP performance.Since Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)have been widely used to aid vehicular communications,we intend to utilize UAVs to assist sub-clusters in CP.In this paper,a UAV-aided CP network is constructed to fully utilize information from SRVs.First,the inter-node connection structure among the UAV and vehicles is designed to share available information from SRVs.After that,the clustering optimization strategy is proposed,in which the UAV cooperates with the high-precision sub-cluster to obtain available information from SRVs,and then broadcasts this positioning-related information to other low-precision sub-clusters.Finally,the Locally-Centralized Factor Graph Optimization(LC-FGO)algorithm is designed to fuse positioning information from cooperators.Simulation results indicate that the positioning accuracy of the CP system could be improved by fully utilizing positioning-related information from SRVs.

文摘Customer segmentation according to load-shape profiles using smart meter data is an increasingly important application to vital the planning and operation of energy systems and to enable citizens’participation in the energy transition.This study proposes an innovative multi-step clustering procedure to segment customers based on load-shape patterns at the daily and intra-daily time horizons.Smart meter data is split between daily and hourly normalized time series to assess monthly,weekly,daily,and hourly seasonality patterns separately.The dimensionality reduction implicit in the splitting allows a direct approach to clustering raw daily energy time series data.The intraday clustering procedure sequentially identifies representative hourly day-unit profiles for each customer and the entire population.For the first time,a step function approach is applied to reduce time series dimensionality.Customer attributes embedded in surveys are employed to build external clustering validation metrics using Cramer’s V correlation factors and to identify statistically significant determinants of load-shape in energy usage.In addition,a time series features engineering approach is used to extract 16 relevant demand flexibility indicators that characterize customers and corresponding clusters along four different axes:available Energy(E),Temporal patterns(T),Consistency(C),and Variability(V).The methodology is implemented on a real-world electricity consumption dataset of 325 Small and Medium-sized Enterprise(SME)customers,identifying 4 daily and 6 hourly easy-to-interpret,well-defined clusters.The application of the methodology includes selecting key parameters via grid search and a thorough comparison of clustering distances and methods to ensure the robustness of the results.Further research can test the scalability of the methodology to larger datasets from various customer segments(households and large commercial)and locations with different weather and socioeconomic conditions.

文摘To enhance the denoising performance of event-based sensors,we introduce a clustering-based temporal deep neural network denoising method(CBTDNN).Firstly,to cluster the sensor output data and obtain the respective cluster centers,a combination of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)and Kmeans++is utilized.Subsequently,long short-term memory(LSTM)is employed to fit and yield optimized cluster centers with temporal information.Lastly,based on the new cluster centers and denoising ratio,a radius threshold is set,and noise points beyond this threshold are removed.The comprehensive denoising metrics F1_score of CBTDNN have achieved 0.8931,0.7735,and 0.9215 on the traffic sequences dataset,pedestrian detection dataset,and turntable dataset,respectively.And these metrics demonstrate improvements of 49.90%,33.07%,19.31%,and 22.97%compared to four contrastive algorithms,namely nearest neighbor(NNb),nearest neighbor with polarity(NNp),Autoencoder,and multilayer perceptron denoising filter(MLPF).These results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances the denoising performance of event-based sensors.

文摘Existing multi-view deep subspace clustering methods aim to learn a unified representation from multi-view data,while the learned representation is difficult to maintain the underlying structure hidden in the origin samples,especially the high-order neighbor relationship between samples.To overcome the above challenges,this paper proposes a novel multi-order neighborhood fusion based multi-view deep subspace clustering model.We creatively integrate the multi-order proximity graph structures of different views into the self-expressive layer by a multi-order neighborhood fusion module.By this design,the multi-order Laplacian matrix supervises the learning of the view-consistent self-representation affinity matrix;then,we can obtain an optimal global affinity matrix where each connected node belongs to one cluster.In addition,the discriminative constraint between views is designed to further improve the clustering performance.A range of experiments on six public datasets demonstrates that the method performs better than other advanced multi-view clustering methods.The code is available at https://github.com/songzuolong/MNF-MDSC(accessed on 25 December 2024).

文摘Numerous clustering algorithms are valuable in pattern recognition in forest vegetation,with new ones continually being proposed.While some are well-known,others are underutilized in vegetation science.This study compares the performance of practical iterative reallocation algorithms with model-based clustering algorithms.The data is from forest vegetation in Virginia(United States),the Hyrcanian Forest(Asia),and European beech forests.Practical iterative reallocation algorithms were applied as non-hierarchical methods and Finite Gaussian mixture modeling was used as a model-based clustering method.Due to limitations on dimensionality in model-based clustering,principal coordinates analysis was employed to reduce the dataset’s dimensions.A log transformation was applied to achieve a normal distribution for the pseudo-species data before calculating the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity.The findings indicate that the reallocation of misclassified objects based on silhouette width(OPTSIL)with Flexible-β(-0.25)had the highest mean among the tested clustering algorithms with Silhouette width 1(REMOS1)with Flexible-β(-0.25)second.However,model-based clustering performed poorly.Based on these results,it is recommended using OPTSIL with Flexible-β(-0.25)and REMOS1 with Flexible-β(-0.25)for forest vegetation classification instead of model-based clustering particularly for heterogeneous datasets common in forest vegetation community data.

文摘The characterization and clustering of rock discontinuity sets are a crucial and challenging task in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering.Over the past few decades,the clustering of discontinuity sets has undergone rapid and remarkable development.However,there is no relevant literature summarizing these achievements,and this paper attempts to elaborate on the current status and prospects in this field.Specifically,this review aims to discuss the development process of clustering methods for discontinuity sets and the state-of-the-art relevant algorithms.First,we introduce the importance of discontinuity clustering analysis and follow the comprehensive characterization approaches of discontinuity data.A bibliometric analysis is subsequently conducted to clarify the current status and development characteristics of the clustering of discontinuity sets.The methods for the clustering analysis of rock discontinuities are reviewed in terms of single-and multi-parameter clustering methods.Single-parameter methods can be classified into empirical judgment methods,dynamic clustering methods,relative static clustering methods,and static clustering methods,reflecting the continuous optimization and improvement of clustering algorithms.Moreover,this paper compares the current mainstream of single-parameter clustering methods with multi-parameter clustering methods.It is emphasized that the current single-parameter clustering methods have reached their performance limits,with little room for improvement,and that there is a need to extend the study of multi-parameter clustering methods.Finally,several suggestions are offered for future research on the clustering of discontinuity sets.
文摘Symplectic symmetry approach to clustering(SSAC)in atomic nuclei,recently proposed,is modified and further developed in more detail.It is firstly applied to the light two-cluster^(20)Ne+αsystem of^(24)Mg,the latter exhibiting well developed low-energy K^(π)=0_(1)^(+),k^(π)=2_(1)^(+) and π^(π)=0_(1)^(-) rotational bands in its spectrum.A simple algebraic Hamiltonian,consisting of dynamical symmetry,residual and vertical mixing parts is used to describe these three lowest rotational bands of positive and negative parity in^(24)Mg.A good description of the excitation energies is obtained by considering only the SU(3)cluster states restricted to the stretched many-particle Hilbert subspace,built on the leading Pauli allowed SU(3)multiplet for the positive-and negative-parity states,respectively.The coupling to the higher cluster-model configurations allows us to describe the known low-lying experimentally observed B(E2)transition probabilities within and between the cluster states of the three bands under consideration without the use of an effective charge.
文摘Cluster-basedmodels have numerous application scenarios in vehicular ad-hoc networks(VANETs)and can greatly help improve the communication performance of VANETs.However,the frequent movement of vehicles can often lead to changes in the network topology,thereby reducing cluster stability in urban scenarios.To address this issue,we propose a clustering model based on the density peak clustering(DPC)method and sparrow search algorithm(SSA),named SDPC.First,the model constructs a fitness function based on the parameters obtained from the DPC method and deploys the SSA for iterative optimization to select cluster heads(CHs).Then,the vehicles that have not been selected as CHs are assigned to appropriate clusters by comprehensively considering the distance parameter and link-reliability parameter.Finally,cluster maintenance strategies are considered to tackle the changes in the clusters’organizational structure.To verify the performance of the model,we conducted a simulation on a real-world scenario for multiple metrics related to clusters’stability.The results show that compared with the APROVE and the GAPC,SDPC showed clear performance advantages,indicating that SDPC can effectively ensure VANETs’cluster stability in urban scenarios.

文摘In the current situation of decelerating economic expansion,examining the digital economy(DE)as a novel economic model is beneficial for the local economy’s sustainable and high-quality development(HQD).We analyzed panel data from the Yellow River(YR)region from 2013 to 2021 and discovered notable spatial variances in the composite index and coupling coordination of the two systems.Specifically,the downstream region exhibited the highest coupling coordination,while the upstream region had the lowest.We identified that favorable factors such as economic development,innovation,industrial upgrading,and government intervention can bolster the coupling.Our findings provide a valuable framework for promoting DE and HQD in the YR region.

文摘Attribute-graph clustering aims to divide the graph nodes into distinct clusters in an unsupervised manner,which usually encodes the node attribute feature and the corresponding graph structure into a latent feature space.However,traditional attribute-graph clustering methods often neglect the effect of neighbor information on clustering,leading to suboptimal clustering results as they fail to fully leverage the rich contextual information provided by neighboring nodes,which is crucial for capturing the intrinsic relationships between nodes and improving clustering performance.In this paper,we propose a novel Neighbor Dual-Consistency Constrained Attribute-Graph Clustering that leverages information from neighboring nodes in two significant aspects:neighbor feature consistency and neighbor distribution consistency.To enhance feature consistency among nodes and their neighbors,we introduce a neighbor contrastive loss that encourages the embeddings of nodes to be closer to those of their similar neighbors in the feature space while pushing them further apart from dissimilar neighbors.This method helps the model better capture local feature information.Furthermore,to ensure consistent cluster assignments between nodes and their neighbors,we introduce a neighbor distribution consistency module,which combines structural information from the graph with similarity of attributes to align cluster assignments between nodes and their neighbors.By integrating both local structural information and global attribute information,our approach effectively captures comprehensive patterns within the graph.Overall,our method demonstrates superior performance in capturing comprehensive patterns within the graph and achieves state-of-the-art clustering results on multiple datasets.
文摘Underwater wireless sensor networks(UWSNs)have emerged as a new paradigm of real-time organized systems,which are utilized in a diverse array of scenarios to manage the underwater environment surrounding them.One of the major challenges that these systems confront is topology control via clustering,which reduces the overload of wireless communications within a network and ensures low energy consumption and good scalability.This study aimed to present a clustering technique in which the clustering process and cluster head(CH)selection are performed based on the Markov decision process and deep reinforcement learning(DRL).DRL algorithm selects the CH by maximizing the defined reward function.Subsequently,the sensed data are collected by the CHs and then sent to the autonomous underwater vehicles.In the final phase,the consumed energy by each sensor is calculated,and its residual energy is updated.Then,the autonomous underwater vehicle performs all clustering and CH selection operations.This procedure persists until the point of cessation when the sensor’s power has been reduced to such an extent that no node can become a CH.Through analysis of the findings from this investigation and their comparison with alternative frameworks,the implementation of this method can be used to control the cluster size and the number of CHs,which ultimately augments the energy usage of nodes and prolongs the lifespan of the network.Our simulation results illustrate that the suggested methodology surpasses the conventional low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy,the distance-and energy-constrained K-means clustering scheme,and the vector-based forward protocol and is viable for deployment in an actual operational environment.
文摘Active semi-supervised fuzzy clustering integrates fuzzy clustering techniques with limited labeled data,guided by active learning,to enhance classification accuracy,particularly in complex and ambiguous datasets.Although several active semi-supervised fuzzy clustering methods have been developed previously,they typically face significant limitations,including high computational complexity,sensitivity to initial cluster centroids,and difficulties in accurately managing boundary clusters where data points often overlap among multiple clusters.This study introduces a novel Active Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering algorithm specifically designed to identify,analyze,and correct misclassified boundary elements.By strategically utilizing labeled data through active learning,our method improves the robustness and precision of cluster boundary assignments.Extensive experimental evaluations conducted on three types of datasets—including benchmark UCI datasets,synthetic data with controlled boundary overlap,and satellite imagery—demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves superior performance in terms of clustering accuracy and robustness compared to existing active semi-supervised fuzzy clustering methods.The results confirm the effectiveness and practicality of our method in handling real-world scenarios where precise cluster boundaries are critical.

文摘Accurate traffic flow prediction has a profound impact on modern traffic management. Traffic flow has complex spatial-temporal correlations and periodicity, which poses difficulties for precise prediction. To address this problem, a Multi-head Self-attention and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (MSSTGCN) for multiscale traffic flow prediction is proposed. Firstly, to capture the hidden traffic periodicity of traffic flow, traffic flow is divided into three kinds of periods, including hourly, daily, and weekly data. Secondly, a graph attention residual layer is constructed to learn the global spatial features across regions. Local spatial-temporal dependence is captured by using a T-GCN module. Thirdly, a transformer layer is introduced to learn the long-term dependence in time. A position embedding mechanism is introduced to label position information for all traffic sequences. Thus, this multi-head self-attention mechanism can recognize the sequence order and allocate weights for different time nodes. Experimental results on four real-world datasets show that the MSSTGCN performs better than the baseline methods and can be successfully adapted to traffic prediction tasks.

文摘Multi-view clustering is a critical research area in computer science aimed at effectively extracting meaningful patterns from complex,high-dimensional data that single-view methods cannot capture.Traditional fuzzy clustering techniques,such as Fuzzy C-Means(FCM),face significant challenges in handling uncertainty and the dependencies between different views.To overcome these limitations,we introduce a new multi-view fuzzy clustering approach that integrates picture fuzzy sets with a dual-anchor graph method for multi-view data,aiming to enhance clustering accuracy and robustness,termed Multi-view Picture Fuzzy Clustering(MPFC).In particular,the picture fuzzy set theory extends the capability to represent uncertainty by modeling three membership levels:membership degrees,neutral degrees,and refusal degrees.This allows for a more flexible representation of uncertain and conflicting data than traditional fuzzy models.Meanwhile,dual-anchor graphs exploit the similarity relationships between data points and integrate information across views.This combination improves stability,scalability,and robustness when handling noisy and heterogeneous data.Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate significant improvements in clustering accuracy and efficiency,outperforming traditional methods.Specifically,the MPFC algorithm demonstrates outstanding clustering performance on a variety of datasets,attaining a Purity(PUR)score of 0.6440 and an Accuracy(ACC)score of 0.6213 for the 3 Sources dataset,underscoring its robustness and efficiency.The proposed approach significantly contributes to fields such as pattern recognition,multi-view relational data analysis,and large-scale clustering problems.Future work will focus on extending the method for semi-supervised multi-view clustering,aiming to enhance adaptability,scalability,and performance in real-world applications.

文摘Lamina structures,as typical sedimentary features in shale formations,determine both the quality of shale reservoirs and fracturing effects.In this study,through electric imaging logging,based on core scanning photos,thin sections,and other data from the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation shale reservoirs in the western Sichuan Block,the characteristics and classification scheme of deep shale gas reservoir laminaset were clarified.In addition,with core scale electrical images,the electrical imaging logging response characteristics of different types of laminaset were identified.Based on electrical imaging logging images,a laminaset clustering algorithm was designed to segment the laminaset and then Levenberg-Marquardt(L-M)algorithm was improved by introducing a random forest to obtain the R-L-M algorithm,which was used to extract key parameters of lam-inaset such as attitude,type,density,and thickness.The average accuracy,recall rate,and F1 score of laminaset recognition results of this algorithm were 14.82%higher than those of a well-known international commercial software(T).This method was used to evaluate the Longmaxi Formation shale gas reservoir in the western Sichuan Block.The development density of clay-siliceous(organic-lean)laminaset from the Longyi 1-4 small layer to the lower Wufeng Formation firstly decreased and then increased and the minimum value was found in Longyi 1-1 small layer.In contrast,the development density of siliceous-clay laminaset(organic-rich)first increased and then gradually decreased and the maximum value was found in Longyi 1-1 small layer.The clay-siliceous laminaset(organic matters-contained)and the calcareous-clay laminaset(organic matters-contained)showed a stable developmental trend.
