Breakthroughs in deep learning have been particularly transformative, enabling more effective detection of key information and creating new possibilities for video synopsis. To summarize recent progress and accelerate research in this field,this paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learningbased video summarization methods developed over the past decade. We begin by examining the research landscape of video abstraction technologies and identifying core challenges in video summarization. Subsequently, we systematically analyze prevailing deep learning frameworks and methodologies employed in current video summarization systems, offering researchers a clear roadmap of the field's evolution. Unlike previous review works,we first classify research papers based on the structural hierarchy of the video(from frame-level to shot-level to video-level),then further categorize them according to the summary backbone model(feature extraction and spatiotemporal modeling).This approach provides a more systematic and hierarchical organization of the documents. Following this comprehensive review,we summarize the benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics commonly employed in the field. Finally, we analyze persistent challenges and propose insightful directions for future research,providing a forward-looking perspective on video summarization technologies. This systematic literature review is of great reference value to new researchers exploring the fields of deep learning and video summarization.展开更多

文摘The solar cycle(SC),a phenomenon caused by the quasi-periodic regular activities in the Sun,occurs approximately every 11 years.Intense solar activity can disrupt the Earth’s ionosphere,affecting communication and navigation systems.Consequently,accurately predicting the intensity of the SC holds great significance,but predicting the SC involves a long-term time series,and many existing time series forecasting methods have fallen short in terms of accuracy and efficiency.The Time-series Dense Encoder model is a deep learning solution tailored for long time series prediction.Based on a multi-layer perceptron structure,it outperforms the best previously existing models in accuracy,while being efficiently trainable on general datasets.We propose a method based on this model for SC forecasting.Using a trained model,we predict the test set from SC 19 to SC 25 with an average mean absolute percentage error of 32.02,root mean square error of 30.3,mean absolute error of 23.32,and R^(2)(coefficient of determination)of 0.76,outperforming other deep learning models in terms of accuracy and training efficiency on sunspot number datasets.Subsequently,we use it to predict the peaks of SC 25 and SC 26.For SC 25,the peak time has ended,but a stronger peak is predicted for SC 26,of 199.3,within a range of 170.8-221.9,projected to occur during April 2034.
文摘Accurate streamflow prediction is essential for flood warning,reservoir operation,irrigation scheduling,hydropower planning,and sustainable water management,yet remains challenging due to the complexity of hydrological processes.Although data-driven models often outperform conventional physics-based hydrological modelling approaches,their real-world deployment is limited by cost,infrastructure demands,and the interdisciplinary expertise required.To bridge this gap,this study developed QPred,a regional,lightweight,cost-effective,web-delivered application for daily streamflow forecasting.The study executed an end-to-end workflow,from field data acquisition to accessible web-based deployment for on-demand forecasting.High-resolution rainfall data were recorded with tippingbucket gauges and loggers,while river water depth in the Aglar and Paligaad watersheds was converted to discharge using site-specific rating curves,resulting in a daily dataset of precipitation,river water level and discharge.Four DL architectures were trained,including vanilla Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),stacked LSTM,bidirectional LSTM,and Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU),and evaluated using Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE),Coefficient of Determination(R2),Root-Mean-Square-Error-Standard-Deviation Ratio(RSR),and Percentage Bias(PBIAS)metrics.Performance was watershed-specific,as the vanilla LSTM demonstrated the best generalisation for the Aglar watershed(R2=0.88,NSE=0.82,RMSE=0.12 during validation),while the GRU achieved the highest validation accuracy in Paligaad(R2=0.88,NSE=0.88,RMSE=0.49).All models achieved satisfactory to excellent performance during calibration(R2>0.91,NSE>0.91 for both watersheds),demonstrating strong capability to capture streamflow dynamics.The highest performing models were selected and embedded into the QPred application.QPred was developed as a lightweight web pipeline,utilising Google Colab as the primary execution environment,Flask as the backend inference framework,Google Drive for artefact storage,andNgrok for secureHTTPS tunnelling.Auser-friendly front end utilises range sliders(bounded by observed minima and maxima)to gather inputs and provides discharge data along with metadata,thereby enhancing transparency.This work demonstrates that accurate,context-aware deep learningmodels can be delivered through low-cost,web-based platforms,providing a reproducible and scalable pipeline for hydrological applications in other watersheds and for practitioners.

文摘Human Activity Recognition(HAR)is a novel area for computer vision.It has a great impact on healthcare,smart environments,and surveillance while is able to automatically detect human behavior.It plays a vital role in many applications,such as smart home,healthcare,human computer interaction,sports analysis,and especially,intelligent surveillance.In this paper,we propose a robust and efficient HAR system by leveraging deep learning paradigms,including pre-trained models,CNN architectures,and their average-weighted fusion.However,due to the diversity of human actions and various environmental influences,as well as a lack of data and resources,achieving high recognition accuracy remain elusive.In this work,a weighted average ensemble technique is employed to fuse three deep learning models:EfficientNet,ResNet50,and a custom CNN.The results of this study indicate that using a weighted average ensemble strategy for developing more effective HAR models may be a promising idea for detection and classification of human activities.Experiments by using the benchmark dataset proved that the proposed weighted ensemble approach outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and other key performance measures.The combined average-weighted ensemble of pre-trained and CNN models obtained an accuracy of 98%,compared to 97%,96%,and 95%for the customized CNN,EfficientNet,and ResNet50 models,respectively.

文摘Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring,clinical diagnosis,and robotic applications.Nevertheless,it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility,adhesion,self-healing,and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics.Herein,we report a multifunctional,anti-freezing,selfadhesive,and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes(CoN CNT)embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin(PVA/GLE)matrix.Fabricated using a binary solvent system of water and ethylene glycol(EG),the CoN CNT/PVA/GLE organogel exhibits excellent flexibility,biocompatibility,and temperature tolerance with remarkable environmental stability.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms near-stable performance across a broad humidity range(40%-95%RH).Freeze-tolerant conductivity under sub-zero conditions(-20℃)is attributed to the synergistic role of CoN CNT and EG,preserving mobility and network integrity.The Co N CNT/PVA/GLE organogel sensor exhibits high sensitivity of 5.75 k Pa^(-1)in the detection range from 0 to 20 k Pa,ideal for subtle biomechanical motion detection.A smart human-machine interface for English letter recognition using deep learning achieved 98%accuracy.The organogel sensor utility was extended to detect human gestures like finger bending,wrist motion,and throat vibration during speech.

文摘The exponential growth of video content has driven significant advancements in video summarization techniques in recent years. Breakthroughs in deep learning have been particularly transformative, enabling more effective detection of key information and creating new possibilities for video synopsis. To summarize recent progress and accelerate research in this field,this paper provides a comprehensive review of deep learningbased video summarization methods developed over the past decade. We begin by examining the research landscape of video abstraction technologies and identifying core challenges in video summarization. Subsequently, we systematically analyze prevailing deep learning frameworks and methodologies employed in current video summarization systems, offering researchers a clear roadmap of the field's evolution. Unlike previous review works,we first classify research papers based on the structural hierarchy of the video(from frame-level to shot-level to video-level),then further categorize them according to the summary backbone model(feature extraction and spatiotemporal modeling).This approach provides a more systematic and hierarchical organization of the documents. Following this comprehensive review,we summarize the benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics commonly employed in the field. Finally, we analyze persistent challenges and propose insightful directions for future research,providing a forward-looking perspective on video summarization technologies. This systematic literature review is of great reference value to new researchers exploring the fields of deep learning and video summarization.

文摘Mental-health risk detection seeks early signs of distress from social media posts and clinical transcripts to enable timely intervention before crises.When such risks go undetected,consequences can escalate to self-harm,long-term disability,reduced productivity,and significant societal and economic burden.Despite recent advances,detecting risk from online text remains challenging due to heterogeneous language,evolving semantics,and the sequential emergence of new datasets.Effective solutions must encode clinically meaningful cues,reason about causal relations,and adapt to new domains without forgetting prior knowledge.To address these challenges,this paper presents a Continual Neuro-Symbolic Graph Learning(CNSGL)framework that unifies symbolic reasoning,causal inference,and continual learning within a single architecture.Each post is represented as a symbolic graph linking clinically relevant tags to textual content,enriched with causal edges derived from directional Point-wise Mutual Information(PMI).A two-layer Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)encodes these graphs,and a Transformer-based attention pooler aggregates node embeddings while providing interpretable tag-level importances.Continual adaptation across datasets is achieved through the Multi-Head Freeze(MH-Freeze)strategy,which freezes a shared encoder and incrementally trains lightweight task-specific heads(small classifiers attached to the shared embedding).Experimental evaluations across six diverse mental-health datasets ranging from Reddit discourse to clinical interviews,demonstrate that MH-Freeze consistently outperforms existing continual-learning baselines in both discriminative accuracy and calibration reliability.Across six datasets,MH-Freeze achieves up to 0.925 accuracy and 0.923 F1-Score,with AUPRC≥0.934 and AUROC≥0.942,consistently surpassing all continual-learning baselines.The results confirm the framework’s ability to preserve prior knowledge,adapt to domain shifts,and maintain causal interpretability,establishing CNSGL as a promising step toward robust,explainable,and lifelong mental-health risk assessment.
文摘Modern manufacturing processes have become more reliant on automation because of the accelerated transition from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.Manual inspection of products on assembly lines remains inefficient,prone to errors and lacks consistency,emphasizing the need for a reliable and automated inspection system.Leveraging both object detection and image segmentation approaches,this research proposes a vision-based solution for the detection of various kinds of tools in the toolkit using deep learning(DL)models.Two Intel RealSense D455f depth cameras were arranged in a top down configuration to capture both RGB and depth images of the toolkits.After applying multiple constraints and enhancing them through preprocessing and augmentation,a dataset consisting of 3300 annotated RGB-D photos was generated.Several DL models were selected through a comprehensive assessment of mean Average Precision(mAP),precision-recall equilibrium,inference latency(target≥30 FPS),and computational burden,resulting in a preference for YOLO and Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks(R-CNN)variants over ViT-based models due to the latter’s increased latency and resource requirements.YOLOV5,YOLOV8,YOLOV11,Faster R-CNN,and Mask R-CNN were trained on the annotated dataset and evaluated using key performance metrics(Recall,Accuracy,F1-score,and Precision).YOLOV11 demonstrated balanced excellence with 93.0%precision,89.9%recall,and a 90.6%F1-score in object detection,as well as 96.9%precision,95.3%recall,and a 96.5%F1-score in instance segmentation with an average inference time of 25 ms per frame(≈40 FPS),demonstrating real-time performance.Leveraging these results,a YOLOV11-based windows application was successfully deployed in a real-time assembly line environment,where it accurately processed live video streams to detect and segment tools within toolkits,demonstrating its practical effectiveness in industrial automation.The application is capable of precisely measuring socket dimensions by utilising edge detection techniques on YOLOv11 segmentation masks,in addition to detection and segmentation.This makes it possible to do specification-level quality control right on the assembly line,which improves the ability to examine things in real time.The implementation is a big step forward for intelligent manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 paradigm.It provides a scalable,efficient,and accurate way to do automated inspection and dimensional verification activities.

文摘The stator of the maglev track plays a crucial role in the operation of the maglev system.Currently,the efficiency of maglev track inspection is limited by several factors,including the large span of elevated structures,manual visual inspection,short inspection window times,and limited GPS positioning accuracy.To address these issues,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method for detecting and locating stator surface damage.This study establishes a maglev track stator surface image dataset,trains different object detection models,and compares their performance.Ultimately,YOLO and ByteTrack object tracking algorithms were chosen as the basic framework and enhanced to achieve automatic identification of high-speed maglev track stator surface damage images and track and count stator surface localization feature images.By matching the identified damaged images with their corresponding stator segment and beam segment sequence numbers,the location of the damage is pinpointed to the corresponding stator segment,enabling rapid and accurate identification and localization of complex damage to the maglev track stator surface.

文摘Nondestructive measurement technology of phenotype can provide substantial phenotypic data support for applications such as seedling breeding,management,and quality testing.The current method of measuring seedling phenotypes mainly relies on manual measurement which is inefficient,subjective and destroys samples.Therefore,the paper proposes a nondestructive measurement method for the canopy phenotype of the watermelon plug seedlings based on deep learning.The Azure Kinect was used to shoot canopy color images,depth images,and RGB-D images of the watermelon plug seedlings.The Mask-RCNN network was used to classify,segment,and count the canopy leaves of the watermelon plug seedlings.To reduce the error of leaf area measurement caused by mutual occlusion of leaves,the leaves were repaired by CycleGAN,and the depth images were restored by image processing.Then,the Delaunay triangulation was adopted to measure the leaf area in the leaf point cloud.The YOLOX target detection network was used to identify the growing point position of each seedling on the plug tray.Then the depth differences between the growing point and the upper surface of the plug tray were calculated to obtain plant height.The experiment results show that the nondestructive measurement algorithm proposed in this paper achieves good measurement performance for the watermelon plug seedlings from the 1 true-leaf to 3 true-leaf stages.The average relative error of measurement is 2.33%for the number of true leaves,4.59%for the number of cotyledons,8.37%for the leaf area,and 3.27%for the plant height.The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm in this paper provides an effective solution for the nondestructive measurement of the canopy phenotype of the plug seedlings.

文摘Underground engineering projects such as deep tunnel excavation often encounter rockburst disasters accompanied by numerous microseismic events.Rapid interpretation of microseismic signals is crucial for the timely identification of rockbursts.However,conventional processing encompasses multi-step workflows,including classification,denoising,picking,locating,and computational analysis,coupled with manual intervention,which collectively compromise the reliability of early warnings.To address these challenges,this study innovatively proposes the“microseismic stethoscope"-a multi-task machine learning and deep learning model designed for the automated processing of massive microseismic signals.This model efficiently extracts three key parameters that are necessary for recognizing rockburst disasters:rupture location,microseismic energy,and moment magnitude.Specifically,the model extracts raw waveform features from three dedicated sub-networks:a classifier for source zone classification,and two regressors for microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation.This model demonstrates superior efficiency compared to traditional processing and semi-automated processing,reducing per-event processing time from 0.71 s to 0.49 s to merely 0.036 s.It concurrently achieves 98%accuracy in source zone classification,with microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation errors of 0.13 and 0.05,respectively.This model has been well applied and validated in the Daxiagu Tunnel case in Sichuan,China.The application results indicate that the model is as accurate as traditional methods in determining source parameters,and thus can be used to identify potential geomechanical processes of rockburst disasters.By enhancing the signal processing reliability of microseismic events,the proposed model in this study presents a significant advancement in the identification of rockburst disasters.

文摘Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved flood detection and segmentation from aerial and satellite imagery.However,conventional convolutional neural networks(CNNs)often struggle in complex flood scenarios involving reflections,occlusions,or indistinct boundaries due to limited contextual modeling.To address these challenges,we propose a hybrid flood segmentation framework that integrates a Vision Transformer(ViT)encoder with a U-Net decoder,enhanced by a novel Flood-Aware Refinement Block(FARB).The FARB module improves boundary delineation and suppresses noise by combining residual smoothing with spatial-channel attention mechanisms.We evaluate our model on a UAV-acquired flood imagery dataset,demonstrating that the proposed ViTUNet+FARB architecture outperforms existing CNN and Transformer-based models in terms of accuracy and mean Intersection over Union(mIoU).Detailed ablation studies further validate the contribution of each component,confirming that the FARB design significantly enhances segmentation quality.To its better performance and computational efficiency,the proposed framework is well-suited for flood monitoring and disaster response applications,particularly in resource-constrained environments.

文摘Microscopy imaging is fundamental in analyzing bacterial morphology and dynamics,offering critical insights into bacterial physiology and pathogenicity.Image segmentation techniques enable quantitative analysis of bacterial structures,facilitating precise measurement of morphological variations and population behaviors at single-cell resolution.This paper reviews advancements in bacterial image segmentation,emphasizing the shift from traditional thresholding and watershed methods to deep learning-driven approaches.Convolutional neural networks(CNNs),U-Net architectures,and three-dimensional(3D)frameworks excel at segmenting dense biofilms and resolving antibiotic-induced morphological changes.These methods combine automated feature extraction with physics-informed postprocessing.Despite progress,challenges persist in computational efficiency,cross-species generalizability,and integration with multimodal experimental workflows.Future progress will depend on improving model robustness across species and imaging modalities,integrating multimodal data for phenotype-function mapping,and developing standard pipelines that link computational tools with clinical diagnostics.These innovations will expand microbial phenotyping beyond structural analysis,enabling deeper insights into bacterial physiology and ecological interactions.

文摘As deep learning(DL)models are increasingly deployed in sensitive domains(e.g.,healthcare),concerns over privacy and security have intensified.Conventional penetration testing frameworks,such asOWASP and NIST,are effective for traditional networks and applications but lack the capabilities to address DL-specific threats,such asmodel inversion,membership inference,and adversarial attacks.This review provides a comprehensive analysis of penetration testing for the privacy of DL models,examining the shortfalls of existing frameworks,tools,and testing methodologies.Through systematic evaluation of existing literature and empirical analysis,we identify three major contributions:(i)a critical assessment of traditional penetration testing frameworks’inadequacies when applied to DL-specific privacy vulnerabilities,(ii)a comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art privacy-preserving methods and their integration with penetration testing workflows,and(iii)the development of a structured framework that combines reconnaissance,threat modeling,exploitation,and post-exploitation phases specifically tailored for DL privacy assessment.Moreover,this review evaluates popular solutions such as IBMAdversarial Robustness Toolbox and TensorFlowPrivacy,alongside privacy-preserving techniques(e.g.,Differential Privacy,Homomorphic Encryption,and Federated Learning),which we systematically analyze through comparative studies of their effectiveness,computational overhead,and practical deployment constraints.While these techniques offer promising safeguards,their adoption is hindered by accuracy loss,performance overheads,and the rapid evolution of attack strategies.Our findings reveal that no single existing solution provides comprehensive protection,which leads us to propose a hybrid approach that strategically combines multiple privacy-preserving mechanisms.The findings of this survey underscore an urgent need for automated,regulationcompliant penetration testing frameworks specifically tailored to DL systems.We argue for hybrid privacy solutions that combinemultiple protectivemechanisms to ensure bothmodel accuracy and privacy.Building on our analysis,we present actionable recommendations for developing adaptive penetration testing strategies that incorporate automated vulnerability assessment,continuous monitoring,and regulatory compliance verification.

文摘To counteract small sample size,severe class imbalance and high feature redundancy in 90-day mRS prediction after stroke,this study proposes a four-stage pipeline-“ADASYN re-sampling→clinical+statistical feature screening→dimensionality reduction→5-fold cross-validation”-and benchmark composite deep-learning architectures.ADASYN first balances the minority classes in the original feature space.Next,a tri-level filter(clinical domain knowledge,variance threshold,mutual information)removes clinically meaningless or redundant variables,after which PCA compresses the remaining features while preserving critical neurological signatures(e.g.,brain-herniation history).Four hybrid CNN-RNN models are trained and compared under strict 5-fold cross-validation;the optimal ensemble yields stable,clinically interpretable probabilities that can support individualized rehabilitation planning.

文摘Keratitis is a common ophthalmic disease associated with a high risk of blindness.Although deep learning(DL) based on slit-lamp images has shown great promise for automatic keratitis diagnosis,data heterogeneity and privacy constraints hinder data sharing,limiting model generalization across multiple medical centers.To address these challenges,we propose a similarity-guided dynamic adjustment federated learning algorithm for automated keratitis diagnosis(SDAFL_AKD).SDAFL_AKD introduces a similarity-based regularization term during local model updates to alleviate catastrophic forgetting and employs a performance-driven dynamic aggregation mechanism on the server-side to adaptively weight client contributions,thereby enhancing global model robustness under non-independent and identically distributed(Non-IID) conditions.The framework is evaluated on slit-lamp images collected from four independent data sources encompassing keratitis,normal cornea,and other cornea abnormalities,and compared with Fed Avg,model-contrastive federated learning(MOON),stochastic controlled averaging for federated learning(SCAFFOLD) and single-center baseline models.Experimental results demonstrate that SDAFL_AKD consistently outperforms conventional methods,achieving average accuracies of 97.95% on a balanced dataset and 86.05% on an imbalanced smart phone-acquired dataset.Ablation studies further confirm the synergistic benefits of the similarity(SIM) and dynamic aggregation(DA) modules in improving multi-category recognition and generalization.These findings indicate the effectiveness of SDAFL_AKD for keratitis diagnosis under data heterogeneous and privacy-constrained conditions,providing a scalable solution for collaborative ophthalmic image analysis across institutions.

文摘This study proposed a deep learning-based nanoindentation simulation method to address the challenge of obtaining the mechanical parameters of rock-forming minerals and the complexity of regression analysis.This approach enables the accurate assessment of rock-forming minerals'mechanical parameters.A material database of nanoindentation load-depth(P-h)curves was generated using the material point method(MPM)to characterize the mechanical behavior of major rock-forming minerals(quartz,albite,and muscovite)in sandstone.We used Bayesian hyperparameter optimization to determine the optimal hyperparameters for training a deep neural network(DNN).The trained DNN model accurately predicted the material parameters of rock-forming minerals using experimental nanoindentation P-h data.Numerical simulations of the uniaxial compression of heterogeneous sandstones were conducted using the predicted parameters to assess the sandstones’macro-mechanical characteristics.The research findings provide new insights into the fundamental mechanical behavior of heterogeneous rock materials.
文摘Breast cancer screening programs rely heavily on mammography for early detection;however,diagnostic performance is strongly affected by inter-reader variability,breast density,and the limitations of conven-tional computer-aided detection systems.Recent advances in deep learning have enabled more robust and scalable solutions for large-scale screening,yet a systematic comparison of modern object detection architectures on nationally representative datasets remains limited.This study presents a comprehensive quantitative comparison of prominent deep learning–based object detection architectures for Artificial Intelligence-assisted mammography analysis using the MammosighTR dataset,developed within the Turkish National Breast Cancer Screening Program.The dataset comprises 12,740 patient cases collected between 2016 and 2022,annotated with BI-RADS categories,breast density levels,and lesion localization labels.A total of 31 models were evaluated,including One-Stage,Two-Stage,and Transformer-based architectures,under a unified experimental framework at both patient and breast levels.The results demonstrate that Two-Stage architectures consistently outperform One-Stage models,achieving approximately 2%–4%higher Macro F1-Scores and more balanced precision–recall trade-offs,with Double-Head R-CNN and Dynamic R-CNN yielding the highest overall performance(Macro F1≈0.84–0.86).This advantage is primarily attributed to the region proposal mechanism and improved class balance inherent to Two-Stage designs.One-Stage detectors exhibited higher sensitivity and faster inference,reaching Recall values above 0.88,but experienced minor reductions in Precision and overall accuracy(≈1%–2%)compared with Two-Stage models.Among Transformer-based architectures,Deformable DEtection TRansformer demonstrated strong robustness and consistency across datasets,achieving Macro F1-Scores comparable to CNN-based detectors(≈0.83–0.85)while exhibiting minimal performance degradation under distributional shifts.Breast density–based analysis revealed increased misclassification rates in medium-density categories(types B and C),whereas Transformer-based architectures maintained more stable performance in high-density type D tissue.These findings quantitatively confirm that both architectural design and tissue characteristics play a decisive role in diagnostic accuracy.Overall,the study provides a reproducible benchmark and highlights the potential of hybrid approaches that combine the accuracy of Two-Stage detectors with the contextual modeling capability of Transformer architectures for clinically reliable breast cancer screening systems.
