However, this task faces the challenges of complicated design shapes as well as cumbersome and cluttered annotations on drawings, which interfere with the vector extraction heavily. In this article, the transmission tower containing the most complex structure is taken as the research object, and a semantic segmentation network is constructed to first segment the shape masks from the pixel-level drawings. Preprocessing and postprocessing are also proposed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the shape mask segmentation. Then, based on the obtained shape masks, a vector extraction network guided by heatmaps is designed to extract structural vectors by fusing the features from node heatmap and skeleton heatmap, respectively. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, experiment results illustrate that the proposed semantic segmentation method can effectively eliminate the interference of many elements on drawings to segment the shape masks effectively, meanwhile, the model trained by the proposed vector extraction network can accurately extract the vectors such as nodes and line connections, avoiding redundant vector detection. The proposed method lays a solid foundation for automatic 3D model reconstruction and contributes to technological advancements in relevant fields.展开更多

Mathematically modeling unsteady aerodynamics at high angles of attack bears great difficulties in model structure determination and parameter estimation due to little understanding of the flow mechanism. Support vector machines （SVMs） based on statistical learning theory provide a novel tool for nonlinear system modeling. The work presented here examines the feasibility of applying SVMs to high angle.-of-attack unsteady aerodynamic modeling field. Mainly, after a review of SVMs, several issues associated with unsteady aerodynamic modeling by use of SVMs are discussed in detail, such as sele, ction of input variables, selection of output variables and determination of SVM parameters. The least squares SVM （LS-SVM） models are set up from certain dynamic wind tunnel test data of a delta wing and an aircraft configuration, and then used to predict the aerodynamic responses in other tests. The predictions are in good agreement with the test data, which indicates the satisfving learning and generalization performance of LS-SVMs.展开更多

Because the TREC vector （tracking radar echo by correlation） represents only the instantaneous trend of precipitation echo motion, the approach using derived echo motion vectors to extrapolate radar reflectivity as a rainfall forecast is not satisfactory if the lead time is beyond 30 minutes. For longer lead times, the effect of ambient winds on echo movement should be considered. In this paper, an extrapolation algorithm that extends forecast lead times up to 3 hours was developed to blend TREC vectors with model-predicted winds. The TREC vectors were derived from radar reflectivity patterns in 3 km height CAPPI （constant altitude plan position indicator） mosaics through a cross-correlation technique. The background steering winds were provided by predictions of the rapid update assimilation model CHAF （cycle of hourly assimilation and forecast）. A similarity index was designed to determine the vertical level at which model winds were applied in the extrapolation process, which occurs via a comparison between model winds and radar vectors. Based on a summer rainfall case study, it is found that the new algorithm provides a better forecast.展开更多

The prediction-based method is used to determine the embedding dimension of the traffic data. Based on the reconstructed phase space, the local support vector machine prediction method is used to predict the traffic measurement data, and the BIC-based neighbouring point selection method is used to choose the number of the nearest neighbouring points for the local support vector machine regression model. The experimental results show that the local support vector machine prediction method whose neighbouring points are optimized can effectively predict the small-time scale traffic measurement data and can reproduce the statistical features of real traffic measurements.展开更多

This algorithm does not require online iterative optimization in order to be suitable for real-time control with less calculation. The simulation results of pH neutralization process and CSTR reactor show the effectiveness and advantages of the presented algorithm.展开更多

However, these MIQ parameters are difficult to be directly measured online, and large-time delay exists in off-line analysis through laboratory sampling. Focusing on the practical challenge, a data-driven modeling method was presented for the prediction of MIQ using the improved muhivariable incremental random vector functional-link net- works （M-I-RVFLNs）. Compared with the conventional random vector functional-link networks （RVFLNs） and the online sequential RVFLNs, the M-I-RVFLNs have solved the problem of deciding the optimal number of hidden nodes and overcome the overfitting problems. Moreover, the proposed M I RVFLNs model has exhibited the potential for multivariable prediction of the MIQ and improved the terminal condition for the multiple-input multiple-out- put （MIMO） dynamic system, which is suitable for the BF ironmaking process in practice. Ultimately, industrial experiments and contrastive researches have been conducted on the BF No. 2 in Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co. Ltd. of China using the proposed method, and the results demonstrate that the established model produces better estima ting accuracy than other MIQ modeling methods.展开更多

Firstly we consider the morbidity problem of the special matrix and prove that the condition number of the coefficient matrix is determined by the ratio of lengths and the included angle of the column vector, which could be adjusted by multiple and rotation transformation to turn the matrix to a well-conditioned one. Then partition the corresponding matrix of the GM（1,1） power model in accordance with the column vector and regulate the matrix to a well-conditioned one by multiple and rotation transformation of vectors, which completely solve the instability problem of the GM（1,1） power model. Numerical results show that vector transformation is a new method in studying the stability problem of the GM（1,1） power model.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Delayed wound healing is a common clinical complication following gastric cancer radical surgery,adversely affecting patient prognosis.With advances in artificial intelligence,machine learning offers a promising approach for developing predictive models that can identify high-risk patients and support early clinical intervention.AIM To construct machine learning-based risk prediction models for delayed wound healing after gastric cancer surgery to support clinical decision-making.METHODS We reviewed a total of 514 patients who underwent gastric cancer radical surgery under general anesthesia from January 1,2014 to December 30,2023.Seventy percent of the dataset was selected as the training set and 30%as the validation set.Decision trees,support vector machines,and logistic regression were used to construct a risk prediction model.The performance of the model was evaluated using accuracy,recall,precision,F1 index,and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve.RESULTS This study included five variables:Sex,elderly,duration of abdominal drainage,preoperative white blood cell(WBC)count,and absolute value of neutrophils.These variables were selected based on their clinical relevance and statistical significance in predicting delayed wound healing.The results showed that the decision tree model outperformed the logistic regression and support vector machine models in both the training and validation sets.Specifically,the decision tree model achieved higher accuracy,F1 index,recall,and area under the curve(AUC)values.The support vector machine model also demonstrated better performance than logistic regression,with higher accuracy,recall,and F1 index,but a slightly lower AUC.The key variables of sex,elderly,duration of abdominal drainage,preoperative WBC count,and absolute value of neutrophils were found to be strong predictors of delayed wound healing.Patients with longer duration of abdominal drainage had a significantly higher risk of delayed wound healing,with a risk ratio of 1.579 compared to those with shorter duration of abdominal drainage.Similarly,preoperative WBC count,sex,elderly,and absolute value of neutrophils were associated with a higher risk of delayed wound healing,highlighting the importance of these variables in the model.CONCLUSION The model is able to identify high-risk patients based on sex,elderly,duration of abdominal drainage,preoperative WBC count,and absolute value of neutrophils can provide valuable insights for clinical decision-making.

文摘To the Editor:We read with interest the article by Wang et al.,titled"Modeling the spread risk of dengue vector Aedes albopictus caused by environmental factors in Shanghai,China"[1].The use of ensemble ecological niche models to map Aedes albopictus distribution in urban Shanghai is both timely and methodologically sound.The identified drivers-vegetation index,temperature,and proximity to water-are well-known contributors to vector proliferation.However,one dimension remains notably underrepresented:human behavioral factors.
文摘Hepatology encompasses various aspects,such as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease,viral hepatitis,alcoholic liver disease,liver cirrhosis,liver failure,liver tumors,and liver transplantation.The global epidemiological situation of liver diseases is grave,posing a substantial threat to human health and quality of life.Characterized by high incidence and mortality rates,liver diseases have emerged as a prominent global public health concern.In recent years,the rapid advan-cement of artificial intelligence(AI),deep learning,and radiomics has transfor-med medical research and clinical practice,demonstrating considerable potential in hepatology.AI is capable of automatically detecting abnormal cells in liver tissue sections,enhancing the accu-racy and efficiency of pathological diagnosis.Deep learning models are able to extract features from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging images to facilitate liver disease classification.Machine learning models are capable of integrating clinical data to forecast disease progression and treatment responses,thus supporting clinical decision-making for personalized medicine.Through the analysis of imaging data,laboratory results,and genomic information,AI can assist in diagnosis,forecast disease progression,and optimize treatment plans,thereby improving clinical outcomes for liver disease patients.This minireview intends to comprehensively summarize the state-of-the-art theories and applications of AI in hepatology,explore the opportunities and challenges it presents in clinical practice,basic research,and translational medicine,and propose future research directions to guide the advancement of hepatology and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
文摘BACKGROUND Severe dengue children with critical complications have been attributed to high mortality rates,varying from approximately 1%to over 20%.To date,there is a lack of data on machine-learning-based algorithms for predicting the risk of inhospital mortality in children with dengue shock syndrome(DSS).AIM To develop machine-learning models to estimate the risk of death in hospitalized children with DSS.METHODS This single-center retrospective study was conducted at tertiary Children’s Hospital No.2 in Viet Nam,between 2013 and 2022.The primary outcome was the in-hospital mortality rate in children with DSS admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Nine significant features were predetermined for further analysis using machine learning models.An oversampling method was used to enhance the model performance.Supervised models,including logistic regression,Naïve Bayes,Random Forest(RF),K-nearest neighbors,Decision Tree and Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),were employed to develop predictive models.The Shapley Additive Explanation was used to determine the degree of contribution of the features.RESULTS In total,1278 PICU-admitted children with complete data were included in the analysis.The median patient age was 8.1 years(interquartile range:5.4-10.7).Thirty-nine patients(3%)died.The RF and XGboost models demonstrated the highest performance.The Shapley Addictive Explanations model revealed that the most important predictive features included younger age,female patients,presence of underlying diseases,severe transaminitis,severe bleeding,low platelet counts requiring platelet transfusion,elevated levels of international normalized ratio,blood lactate and serum creatinine,large volume of resuscitation fluid and a high vasoactive inotropic score(>30).CONCLUSION We developed robust machine learning-based models to estimate the risk of death in hospitalized children with DSS.The study findings are applicable to the design of management schemes to enhance survival outcomes of patients with DSS.
文摘Abstract Accurate aerodynamic models are the basis of flight simulation and control law design. Mathematically modeling unsteady aerodynamics at high angles of attack bears great difficulties in model structure determination and parameter estimation due to little understanding of the flow mechanism. Support vector machines （SVMs） based on statistical learning theory provide a novel tool for nonlinear system modeling. The work presented here examines the feasibility of applying SVMs to high angle.-of-attack unsteady aerodynamic modeling field. Mainly, after a review of SVMs, several issues associated with unsteady aerodynamic modeling by use of SVMs are discussed in detail, such as sele, ction of input variables, selection of output variables and determination of SVM parameters. The least squares SVM （LS-SVM） models are set up from certain dynamic wind tunnel test data of a delta wing and an aircraft configuration, and then used to predict the aerodynamic responses in other tests. The predictions are in good agreement with the test data, which indicates the satisfving learning and generalization performance of LS-SVMs.

文摘Extending the lead time of precipitation nowcasts is vital to improvements in heavy rainfall warning, flood mitigation, and water resource management. Because the TREC vector （tracking radar echo by correlation） represents only the instantaneous trend of precipitation echo motion, the approach using derived echo motion vectors to extrapolate radar reflectivity as a rainfall forecast is not satisfactory if the lead time is beyond 30 minutes. For longer lead times, the effect of ambient winds on echo movement should be considered. In this paper, an extrapolation algorithm that extends forecast lead times up to 3 hours was developed to blend TREC vectors with model-predicted winds. The TREC vectors were derived from radar reflectivity patterns in 3 km height CAPPI （constant altitude plan position indicator） mosaics through a cross-correlation technique. The background steering winds were provided by predictions of the rapid update assimilation model CHAF （cycle of hourly assimilation and forecast）. A similarity index was designed to determine the vertical level at which model winds were applied in the extrapolation process, which occurs via a comparison between model winds and radar vectors. Based on a summer rainfall case study, it is found that the new algorithm provides a better forecast.

文摘In this paper we apply the nonlinear time series analysis method to small-time scale traffic measurement data. The prediction-based method is used to determine the embedding dimension of the traffic data. Based on the reconstructed phase space, the local support vector machine prediction method is used to predict the traffic measurement data, and the BIC-based neighbouring point selection method is used to choose the number of the nearest neighbouring points for the local support vector machine regression model. The experimental results show that the local support vector machine prediction method whose neighbouring points are optimized can effectively predict the small-time scale traffic measurement data and can reproduce the statistical features of real traffic measurements.

文摘Soft sensor is widely used in industrial process control. It plays animportant role to improve the quality of product and assure safety in production. The core of softsensor is to construct soft sensing model. A new soft sensing modeling method based on supportvector machine (SVM) is proposed. SVM is a new machine learning method based on statistical learningtheory and is powerful for the problem characterized by small sample, nonlinearity, high dimensionand local minima. The proposed methods are applied to the estimation of frozen point of light dieseloil in distillation column. The estimated outputs of soft sensing model based on SVM match the realvalues of frozen point and follow varying trend of frozen point very well. Experiment results showthat SVM provides a new effective method for soft sensing modeling and has promising application inindustrial process applications.

文摘Multi-kernel-based support vector machine （SVM） model structure of nonlinear systems and its specific identification method is proposed, which is composed of a SVM with linear kernel function followed in series by a SVM with spline kernel function. With the help of this model, nonlinear model predictive control can be transformed to linear model predictive control, and consequently a unified analytical solution of optimal input of multi-step-ahead predictive control is possible to derive. This algorithm does not require online iterative optimization in order to be suitable for real-time control with less calculation. The simulation results of pH neutralization process and CSTR reactor show the effectiveness and advantages of the presented algorithm.

文摘Molten iron temperature as well as Si, P, and S contents is the most essential molten iron quality （MIQ） indices in the blast furnace （BF） ironmaking, which requires strict monitoring during the whole ironmaking production. However, these MIQ parameters are difficult to be directly measured online, and large-time delay exists in off-line analysis through laboratory sampling. Focusing on the practical challenge, a data-driven modeling method was presented for the prediction of MIQ using the improved muhivariable incremental random vector functional-link net- works （M-I-RVFLNs）. Compared with the conventional random vector functional-link networks （RVFLNs） and the online sequential RVFLNs, the M-I-RVFLNs have solved the problem of deciding the optimal number of hidden nodes and overcome the overfitting problems. Moreover, the proposed M I RVFLNs model has exhibited the potential for multivariable prediction of the MIQ and improved the terminal condition for the multiple-input multiple-out- put （MIMO） dynamic system, which is suitable for the BF ironmaking process in practice. Ultimately, industrial experiments and contrastive researches have been conducted on the BF No. 2 in Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co. Ltd. of China using the proposed method, and the results demonstrate that the established model produces better estima ting accuracy than other MIQ modeling methods.
文摘Common,unsteady aerodynamic modeling methods usually use wind tunnel test data from forced vibration tests to predict stable hysteresis loop.However,these methods ignore the initial unstable process of entering the hysteresis loop that exists in the actual maneuvering process of the aircraft.Here,an excitation input suitable for nonlinear system identification is introduced to model unsteady aerodynamic forces with any motion in the amplitude and frequency ranges based on the Least Squares Support Vector Machines(LS-SVMs).In the selection of the input form,avoiding the use of reduced frequency as a parameter makes the model more universal.After model training is completed,the method is applied to predict the lift coefficient,drag coefficient and pitching moment coefficient of the RAE2822 airfoil,in sine and sweep motions under the conditions of plunging and pitching at Mach number 0.8.The predicted results of the initial unstable process and the final stable process are in close agreement with the Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)data,demonstrating the feasibility of the model for nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics modeling and the effectiveness of the input design approach.

文摘The excellent vectoring characteristic of Dual Synthetic Jet(DSJ)provides a new control strategy for the active flow control,such as thrust vectoring control,large area cooling,separated flow control and so on.For incompressible flow,the influence relation of source variables,such as structure parameters of actuators,driving parameters and material attributes of piezoelectric vibrating diaphragm,on the vectoring DSJ and a theoretical model are established based on theoretical and regression analysis,which are all verified by numerical simulations.The two synthetic jets can be deemed as a main flow with a higher jet velocity and a disturbing flow with a lower jet velocity.The results indicate that the influence factors contain the low-pressure area formed at the exit of the disturbing flow,which could promote the vectoring deflection,and the impact effect of the disturbing flow and the suppressive effect of the main flow with the effect of restraining the vectoring deflection.The vectoring angle is a complex parameter coupled by all source variables.The detailed theoretical model,whose error is controlled within 3.6 degrees,can be used to quantitatively assess the vectoring feature of DSJ and thus to provide a guidance for designing the control law applied in the active flow control.

文摘The morbidity problem of the GM（1,1） power model in parameter identification is discussed by using multiple and rotation transformation of vectors. Firstly we consider the morbidity problem of the special matrix and prove that the condition number of the coefficient matrix is determined by the ratio of lengths and the included angle of the column vector, which could be adjusted by multiple and rotation transformation to turn the matrix to a well-conditioned one. Then partition the corresponding matrix of the GM（1,1） power model in accordance with the column vector and regulate the matrix to a well-conditioned one by multiple and rotation transformation of vectors, which completely solve the instability problem of the GM（1,1） power model. Numerical results show that vector transformation is a new method in studying the stability problem of the GM（1,1） power model.
