Nonetheless, missing traffic data are a common issue in sensor data which is inevitable due to several reasons, such as malfunctioning, poor maintenance or calibration, and intermittent communications. Such missing data issues often make data analysis and decision-making complicated and challenging. In this study, we have developed a generative adversarial network (GAN) based traffic sensor data imputation framework (TSDIGAN) to efficiently reconstruct the missing data by generating realistic synthetic data. In recent years, GANs have shown impressive success in image data generation. However, generating traffic data by taking advantage of GAN based modeling is a challenging task, since traffic data have strong time dependency. To address this problem, we propose a novel time-dependent encoding method called the Gramian Angular Summation Field (GASF) that converts the problem of traffic time-series data generation into that of image generation. We have evaluated and tested our proposed model using the benchmark dataset provided by Caltrans Performance Management Systems (PeMS). This study shows that the proposed model can significantly improve the traffic data imputation accuracy in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) compared to state-of-the-art models on the benchmark dataset. Further, the model achieves reasonably high accuracy in imputation tasks even under a very high missing data rate (>50%), which shows the robustness and efficiency of the proposed model.展开更多

文摘An intelligent diagnosis method based on self-adaptiveWasserstein dual generative adversarial networks and feature fusion is proposed due to problems such as insufficient sample size and incomplete fault feature extraction,which are commonly faced by rolling bearings and lead to low diagnostic accuracy.Initially,dual models of the Wasserstein deep convolutional generative adversarial network incorporating gradient penalty(1D-2DWDCGAN)are constructed to augment the original dataset.A self-adaptive loss threshold control training strategy is introduced,and establishing a self-adaptive balancing mechanism for stable model training.Subsequently,a diagnostic model based on multidimensional feature fusion is designed,wherein complex features from various dimensions are extracted,merging the original signal waveform features,structured features,and time-frequency features into a deep composite feature representation that encompasses multiple dimensions and scales;thus,efficient and accurate small sample fault diagnosis is facilitated.Finally,an experiment between the bearing fault dataset of CaseWestern ReserveUniversity and the fault simulation experimental platformdataset of this research group shows that this method effectively supplements the dataset and remarkably improves the diagnostic accuracy.The diagnostic accuracy after data augmentation reached 99.94%and 99.87%in two different experimental environments,respectively.In addition,robustness analysis is conducted on the diagnostic accuracy of the proposed method under different noise backgrounds,verifying its good generalization performance.

文摘In recent years,landslide susceptibility mapping has substantially improved with advances in machine learning.However,there are still challenges remain in landslide mapping due to the availability of limited inventory data.In this paper,a novel method that improves the performance of machine learning techniques is presented.The proposed method creates synthetic inventory data using Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)for improving the prediction of landslides.In this research,landslide inventory data of 156 landslide locations were identified in Cameron Highlands,Malaysia,taken from previous projects the authors worked on.Elevation,slope,aspect,plan curvature,profile curvature,total curvature,lithology,land use and land cover(LULC),distance to the road,distance to the river,stream power index(SPI),sediment transport index(STI),terrain roughness index(TRI),topographic wetness index(TWI)and vegetation density are geo-environmental factors considered in this study based on suggestions from previous works on Cameron Highlands.To show the capability of GANs in improving landslide prediction models,this study tests the proposed GAN model with benchmark models namely Artificial Neural Network(ANN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Decision Trees(DT),Random Forest(RF)and Bagging ensemble models with ANN and SVM models.These models were validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC).The DT,RF,SVM,ANN and Bagging ensemble could achieve the AUROC values of(0.90,0.94,0.86,0.69 and 0.82)for the training;and the AUROC of(0.76,0.81,0.85,0.72 and 0.75)for the test,subsequently.When using additional samples,the same models achieved the AUROC values of(0.92,0.94,0.88,0.75 and 0.84)for the training and(0.78,0.82,0.82,0.78 and 0.80)for the test,respectively.Using the additional samples improved the test accuracy of all the models except SVM.As a result,in data-scarce environments,this research showed that utilizing GANs to generate supplementary samples is promising because it can improve the predictive capability of common landslide prediction models.

文摘Digital watermark embeds information bits into digital cover such as images and videos to prove the creator’s ownership of his work.In this paper,we propose a robust image watermark algorithm based on a generative adversarial network.This model includes two modules,generator and adversary.Generator is mainly used to generate images embedded with watermark,and decode the image damaged by noise to obtain the watermark.Adversary is used to discriminate whether the image is embedded with watermark and damage the image by noise.Based on the model Hidden(hiding data with deep networks),we add a high-pass filter in front of the discriminator,making the watermark tend to be embedded in the mid-frequency region of the image.Since the human visual system pays more attention to the central area of the image,we give a higher weight to the image center region,and a lower weight to the edge region when calculating the loss between cover and embedded image.The watermarked image obtained by this scheme has a better visual performance.Experimental results show that the proposed architecture is more robust against noise interference compared with the state-of-art schemes.

文摘Recently,speech enhancement methods based on Generative Adversarial Networks have achieved good performance in time-domain noisy signals.However,the training of Generative Adversarial Networks has such problems as convergence difficulty,model collapse,etc.In this work,an end-to-end speech enhancement model based on Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks is proposed,and some improvements have been made in order to get faster convergence speed and better generated speech quality.Specifically,in the generator coding part,each convolution layer adopts different convolution kernel sizes to conduct convolution operations for obtaining speech coding information from multiple scales;a gated linear unit is introduced to alleviate the vanishing gradient problem with the increase of network depth;the gradient penalty of the discriminator is replaced with spectral normalization to accelerate the convergence rate of themodel;a hybrid penalty termcomposed of L1 regularization and a scale-invariant signal-to-distortion ratio is introduced into the loss function of the generator to improve the quality of generated speech.The experimental results on both TIMIT corpus and Tibetan corpus show that the proposed model improves the speech quality significantly and accelerates the convergence speed of the model.

文摘Detecting the anomalous entity in real-time network traffic is a popular area of research in recent times.Very few researches have focused on creating malware that fools the intrusion detection system and this paper focuses on this topic.We are using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks(DCGAN)to trick the malware classifier to believe it is a normal entity.In this work,a new dataset is created to fool the Artificial Intelligence(AI)based malware detectors,and it consists of different types of attacks such as Denial of Service(DoS),scan 11,scan 44,botnet,spam,User Datagram Portal(UDP)scan,and ssh scan.The discriminator used in the DCGAN discriminates two different attack classes(anomaly and synthetic)and one normal class.The model collapse,instability,and vanishing gradient issues associated with the DCGAN are overcome using the proposed hybrid Aquila optimizer-based Mine blast harmony search algorithm(AO-MBHS).This algorithm helps the generator to create realistic malware samples to be undetected by the discriminator.The performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated using different performance metrics such as training time,detection rate,F-Score,loss function,Accuracy,False alarm rate,etc.The superiority of the hybrid AO-MBHS based DCGAN model is noticed when the detection rate is changed to 0 after the retraining method to make the defensive technique hard to be noticed by the malware detection system.The support vector machines(SVM)is used as the malicious traffic detection application and its True positive rate(TPR)goes from 80%to 0%after retraining the proposed model which shows the efficiency of the proposed model in hiding the samples.

文摘In this paper,we propose a hybrid model aiming to map the input noise vector to the label of the generated image by the generative adversarial network(GAN).This model mainly consists of a pre-trained deep convolution generative adversarial network(DCGAN)and a classifier.By using the model,we visualize the distribution of two-dimensional input noise,leading to a specific type of the generated image after each training epoch of GAN.The visualization reveals the distribution feature of the input noise vector and the performance of the generator.With this feature,we try to build a guided generator(GG)with the ability to produce a fake image we need.Two methods are proposed to build GG.One is the most significant noise(MSN)method,and the other utilizes labeled noise.The MSN method can generate images precisely but with less variations.In contrast,the labeled noise method has more variations but is slightly less stable.Finally,we propose a criterion to measure the performance of the generator,which can be used as a loss function to effectively train the network.

文摘The topological connectivity information derived from the brain functional network can bring new insights for diagnosing and analyzing dementia disorders.The brain functional network is suitable to bridge the correlation between abnormal connectivities and dementia disorders.However,it is challenging to access considerable amounts of brain functional network data,which hinders the widespread application of data-driven models in dementia diagnosis.In this study,a novel distribution-regularized adversarial graph auto-Encoder(DAGAE)with transformer is proposed to generate new fake brain functional networks to augment the brain functional network dataset,improving the dementia diagnosis accuracy of data-driven models.Specifically,the label distribution is estimated to regularize the latent space learned by the graph encoder,which canmake the learning process stable and the learned representation robust.Also,the transformer generator is devised to map the node representations into node-to-node connections by exploring the long-term dependence of highly-correlated distant brain regions.The typical topological properties and discriminative features can be preserved entirely.Furthermore,the generated brain functional networks improve the prediction performance using different classifiers,which can be applied to analyze other cognitive diseases.Attempts on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI)dataset demonstrate that the proposed model can generate good brain functional networks.The classification results show adding generated data can achieve the best accuracy value of 85.33%,sensitivity value of 84.00%,specificity value of 86.67%.The proposed model also achieves superior performance compared with other related augmentedmodels.Overall,the proposedmodel effectively improves cognitive disease diagnosis by generating diverse brain functional networks.

文摘Graph embedding aims to map the high-dimensional nodes to a low-dimensional space and learns the graph relationship from its latent representations.Most existing graph embedding methods focus on the topological structure of graph data,but ignore the semantic information of graph data,which results in the unsatisfied performance in practical applications.To overcome the problem,this paper proposes a novel deep convolutional adversarial graph autoencoder(GAE)model.To embed the semantic information between nodes in the graph data,the random walk strategy is first used to construct the positive pointwise mutual information(PPMI)matrix,then,graph convolutional net-work(GCN)is employed to encode the PPMI matrix and node content into the latent representation.Finally,the learned latent representation is used to reconstruct the topological structure of the graph data by decoder.Furthermore,the deep convolutional adversarial training algorithm is introduced to make the learned latent representation conform to the prior distribution better.The state-of-the-art experimental results on the graph data validate the effectiveness of the proposed model in the link prediction,node clustering and graph visualization tasks for three standard datasets,Cora,Citeseer and Pubmed.
文摘This study developed a hybrid model combining a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and a Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)for the task of single-image super-resolution reconstruction.The CNN is responsible for hierarchical image feature extraction and maintaining structural integrity,while the GAN synthesizes realistic texture details through an adver sarial training m echanism to enhance visual realism.The generator is constructed using densely connected convolutional blocks and is combined with an image block-based discriminator to evaluate the authenticity of local regions.The composite loss function is designed to integrate the root mean square error,perceptual loss,and adversarial loss of the pre-trained GTS network,balancing pixel-level accuracy and visual perceptual effect.Tests on benchmark datasets such as DIV2K and Set14 show that this model outperforms tr aditional interpolation algorithms and deep learning models in objective indicators such as PSNR and SSIM,as well as in the perception evaluation of LPIPS.Especially in complex texture restoration tasks,the model demonstrates excellent d etail restoratio n capabilities.Experimental data confirm that the adversarial training mechanism effectively solves the common problem of excessive smoothing in traditional super-resolution methods,making the reconstructed image closer to the actual optical imaging effe ct.This technology provides new ideas for scenarios that require high-fidelity reconstruction,such as medical image analysis and satellite map optimization.

文摘As a common and high-risk type of disease,heart disease seriously threatens people’s health.At the same time,in the era of the Internet of Thing(IoT),smart medical device has strong practical significance for medical workers and patients because of its ability to assist in the diagnosis of diseases.Therefore,the research of real-time diagnosis and classification algorithms for arrhythmia can help to improve the diagnostic efficiency of diseases.In this paper,we design an automatic arrhythmia classification algorithm model based on Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and Encoder-Decoder model.The model uses Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)to consider the influence of time series features on classification results.Simultaneously,it is trained and tested by the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.Besides,Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN)is adopted as a method of data equalization for solving data imbalance problem.The simulation results show that for the inter-patient arrhythmia classification,the hybrid model combining CNN and Encoder-Decoder model has the best classification accuracy,of which the accuracy can reach 94.05%.Especially,it has a better advantage for the classification effect of supraventricular ectopic beats(class S)and fusion beats(class F).
文摘Sufficient high-quality traffic data are a crucial component of various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications and research related to congestion prediction, speed prediction, incident detection, and other traffic operation tasks. Nonetheless, missing traffic data are a common issue in sensor data which is inevitable due to several reasons, such as malfunctioning, poor maintenance or calibration, and intermittent communications. Such missing data issues often make data analysis and decision-making complicated and challenging. In this study, we have developed a generative adversarial network (GAN) based traffic sensor data imputation framework (TSDIGAN) to efficiently reconstruct the missing data by generating realistic synthetic data. In recent years, GANs have shown impressive success in image data generation. However, generating traffic data by taking advantage of GAN based modeling is a challenging task, since traffic data have strong time dependency. To address this problem, we propose a novel time-dependent encoding method called the Gramian Angular Summation Field (GASF) that converts the problem of traffic time-series data generation into that of image generation. We have evaluated and tested our proposed model using the benchmark dataset provided by Caltrans Performance Management Systems (PeMS). This study shows that the proposed model can significantly improve the traffic data imputation accuracy in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) compared to state-of-the-art models on the benchmark dataset. Further, the model achieves reasonably high accuracy in imputation tasks even under a very high missing data rate (>50%), which shows the robustness and efficiency of the proposed model.

文摘Learning-based methods have proven successful in compressing geometric information for point clouds.For attribute compression,however,they still lag behind non-learning-based methods such as the MPEG G-PCC standard.To bridge this gap,we propose a novel deep learning-based point cloud attribute compression method that uses a generative adversarial network(GAN)with sparse convolution layers.Our method also includes a module that adaptively selects the resolution of the voxels used to voxelize the input point cloud.Sparse vectors are used to represent the voxelized point cloud,and sparse convolutions process the sparse tensors,ensuring computational efficiency.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first application of GANs to compress point cloud attributes.Our experimental results show that our method outperforms existing learning-based techniques and rivals the latest G-PCC test model(TMC13v23)in terms of visual quality.

文摘The development of single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing(scATAC-seq)has significantly advanced the study of cell heterogeneity in the epigenetic landscape.Numerous studies have leveraged scATAC-seq data to explore deeper gene regulatory relationships.However,scATAC-seq usually faces dropout events which may result in data sparsity and noise.In this work,we propose a method(scMCG)for analyzing scATAC-seq data that employs contrastive learning and a generative adversarial network(GAN).First,the scMCG method uses two distinct encoders for contrastive learning to solve the issues of feature redundancy and data sparsity in scATAC-seq data.Subsequently,a generator is used to reconstruct the latent embedding.Finally,a decoder is used to generate binary accessibility.We conduct experiments on multiple scATAC-seq datasets.The results demonstrate that the scMCG method achieves excellent performance in multiple tasks such as cell clustering and transcription factor activity influence.

文摘Recently,many researchers have concentrated on using neural networks to learn features for Distant Supervised Relation Extraction(DSRE).These approaches generally use a softmax classifier with cross-entropy loss,which inevitably brings the noise of artificial class NA into classification process.To address the shortcoming,the classifier with ranking loss is employed to DSRE.Uniformly randomly selecting a relation or heuristically selecting the highest score among all incorrect relations are two common methods for generating a negative class in the ranking loss function.However,the majority of the generated negative class can be easily discriminated from positive class and will contribute little towards the training.Inspired by Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs),we use a neural network as the negative class generator to assist the training of our desired model,which acts as the discriminator in GANs.Through the alternating optimization of generator and discriminator,the generator is learning to produce more and more discriminable negative classes and the discriminator has to become better as well.This framework is independent of the concrete form of generator and discriminator.In this paper,we use a two layers fully-connected neural network as the generator and the Piecewise Convolutional Neural Networks(PCNNs)as the discriminator.Experiment results show that our proposed GAN-based method is effective and performs better than state-of-the-art methods.
