The seismic inversion is a key method for comprehensively obtaining the porosity. Deep learning methods provide an intelligent approach to suppress the ambiguity of the conventional inversion method. However, under the trace-bytrace inversion strategy, there is a lack of constraints from geological structural information, resulting in poor lateral continuity of prediction results. In addition, the heterogeneity and the sedimentary variability of subsurface media also lead to uncertainty in intelligent prediction. To achieve fine prediction of porosity, we consider the lateral continuity and variability and propose an improved structural modeling deep learning porosity prediction method. First, we combine well data, waveform attributes, and structural information as constraints to model geophysical parameters, constructing a high-quality training dataset with sedimentary facies-controlled significance. Subsequently, we introduce a gated axial attention mechanism to enhance the features of dataset and design a bidirectional closed-loop network system constrained by inversion and forward processes. The constraint coefficient is adaptively adjusted by the petrophysical information contained between the porosity and impedance in the study area. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive coefficient through numerical experiments.Finally, we compare the performance differences between the proposed method and conventional deep learning methods using data from two study areas. The proposed method achieves better consistency with the logging porosity, demonstrating the superiority of the proposed method.展开更多

Subsequently, we introduce a gated axial attention mechanism to enhance the features of dataset and design a bidirectional closed-loop network system constrained by inversion and forward processes. The constraint coefficient is adaptively adjusted by the petrophysical information contained between the porosity and impedance in the study area. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive coefficient through numerical experiments.Finally, we compare the performance differences between the proposed method and conventional deep learning methods using data from two study areas. The proposed method achieves better consistency with the logging porosity, demonstrating the superiority of the proposed method.

文摘Deep learning algorithm is an effective data mining method and has been used in many fields to solve practical problems.However,the deep learning algorithms often contain some hyper-parameters which may be continuous,integer,or mixed,and are often given based on experience but largely affect the effectiveness of activity recognition.In order to adapt to different hyper-parameter optimization problems,our improved Cuckoo Search(CS)algorithm is proposed to optimize the mixed hyper-parameters in deep learning algorithm.The algorithm optimizes the hyper-parameters in the deep learning model robustly,and intelligently selects the combination of integer type and continuous hyper-parameters that make the model optimal.Then,the mixed hyper-parameter in Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),Long-Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and CNN-LSTM are optimized based on the methodology on the smart home activity recognition datasets.Results show that the methodology can improve the performance of the deep learning model and whether we are experienced or not,we can get a better deep learning model using our method.
文摘There is a growing amount of data uploaded to the internet every day and it is important to understand the volume of those data to find a better scheme to process them.However,the volume of internet data is beyond the processing capabilities of the current internet infrastructure.Therefore,engineering works using technology to organize and analyze information and extract useful information are interesting in both industry and academia.The goal of this paper is to explore the entity relationship based on deep learning,introduce semantic knowledge by using the prepared language model,develop an advanced entity relationship information extraction method by combining Robustly Optimized BERT Approach(RoBERTa)and multi-task learning,and combine the intelligent characters in the field of linguistic,called Robustly Optimized BERT Approach+Multi-Task Learning(RoBERTa+MTL).To improve the effectiveness of model interaction,multi-task teaching is used to implement the observation information of auxiliary tasks.Experimental results show that our method has achieved an accuracy of 88.95 entity relationship extraction,and a further it has achieved 86.35%of accuracy after being combined with multi-task learning.
文摘Deep neural networks(DNNs)are effective in solving both forward and inverse problems for nonlinear partial differential equations(PDEs).However,conventional DNNs are not effective in handling problems such as delay differential equations(DDEs)and delay integrodifferential equations(DIDEs)with constant delays,primarily due to their low regularity at delayinduced breaking points.In this paper,a DNN method that combines multi-task learning(MTL)which is proposed to solve both the forward and inverse problems of DIDEs.The core idea of this approach is to divide the original equation into multiple tasks based on the delay,using auxiliary outputs to represent the integral terms,followed by the use of MTL to seamlessly incorporate the properties at the breaking points into the loss function.Furthermore,given the increased training dificulty associated with multiple tasks and outputs,we employ a sequential training scheme to reduce training complexity and provide reference solutions for subsequent tasks.This approach significantly enhances the approximation accuracy of solving DIDEs with DNNs,as demonstrated by comparisons with traditional DNN methods.We validate the effectiveness of this method through several numerical experiments,test various parameter sharing structures in MTL and compare the testing results of these structures.Finally,this method is implemented to solve the inverse problem of nonlinear DIDE and the results show that the unknown parameters of DIDE can be discovered with sparse or noisy data.

文摘Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning(MARL)is a key technology for enabling cooperation in complex multi-agent systems.It has achieved remarkable progress in areas such as gaming,autonomous driving,and multi-robot control.Empowering cooperative MARL with multi-task decision-making capabilities is expected to further broaden its application scope.In multi-task scenarios,cooperative MARL algorithms need to address 3 types of multi-task problems:reward-related multi-task,arising from different reward functions;multi-domain multi-task,caused by differences in state and action spaces,state transition functions;and scalability-related multi-task,resulting from the dynamic variation in the number of agents.Most existing studies focus on scalability-related multitask problems.However,with the increasing integration between large language models(LLMs)and multi-agent systems,a growing number of LLM-based multi-agent systems have emerged,enabling more complex multi-task cooperation.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in this field.By combining multi-task reinforcement learning with cooperative MARL,we categorize and analyze the 3 major types of multi-task problems under multi-agent settings,offering more fine-grained classifications and summarizing key insights for each.In addition,we summarize commonly used benchmarks and discuss future directions of research in this area,which hold promise for further enhancing the multi-task cooperation capabilities of multi-agent systems and expanding their practical applications in the real world.

文摘The accurate prediction of drug absorption,distribution,metabolism,excretion,and toxicity(ADMET)properties represents a crucial step in early drug development for reducing failure risk.Current deep learning approaches face challenges with data sparsity and information loss due to single-molecule representation limitations and isolated predictive tasks.This research proposes molecular properties prediction with parallel-view and collaborative learning(MolP-PC),a multi-view fusion and multi-task deep learning framework that integrates 1D molecular fingerprints(MFs),2D molecular graphs,and 3D geometric representations,incorporating an attention-gated fusion mechanism and multi-task adaptive learning strategy for precise ADMET property predictions.Experimental results demonstrate that MolP-PC achieves optimal performance in 27 of 54 tasks,with its multi-task learning(MTL)mechanism significantly enhancing predictive performance on small-scale datasets and surpassing single-task models in 41 of 54 tasks.Additional ablation studies and interpretability analyses confirm the significance of multi-view fusion in capturing multi-dimensional molecular information and enhancing model generalization.A case study examining the anticancer compound Oroxylin A demonstrates MolP-PC’s effective generalization in predicting key pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life(T0.5)and clearance(CL),indicating its practical utility in drug modeling.However,the model exhibits a tendency to underestimate volume of distribution(VD),indicating potential for improvement in analyzing compounds with high tissue distribution.This study presents an efficient and interpretable approach for ADMET property prediction,establishing a novel framework for molecular optimization and risk assessment in drug development.

文摘Predicting the health status of stroke patients at different stages of the disease is a critical clinical task.The onset and development of stroke are affected by an array of factors,encompassing genetic predisposition,environmental exposure,unhealthy lifestyle habits,and existing medical conditions.Although existing machine learning-based methods for predicting stroke patients’health status have made significant progress,limitations remain in terms of prediction accuracy,model explainability,and system optimization.This paper proposes a multi-task learning approach based on Explainable Artificial Intelligence(XAI)for predicting the health status of stroke patients.First,we design a comprehensive multi-task learning framework that utilizes the task correlation of predicting various health status indicators in patients,enabling the parallel prediction of multiple health indicators.Second,we develop a multi-task Area Under Curve(AUC)optimization algorithm based on adaptive low-rank representation,which removes irrelevant information from the model structure to enhance the performance of multi-task AUC optimization.Additionally,the model’s explainability is analyzed through the stability analysis of SHAP values.Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms comparison algorithms in key prognostic metrics F1 score and Efficiency.

文摘Aerosol optical depth(AOD)and fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than or equal to 2.5μm(PM_(2.5))play crucial roles in air quality,human health,and climate change.However,the complex correlation of AOD–PM_(2.5)and the limitations of existing algorithms pose a significant challenge in realizing the accurate joint retrieval of these two parameters at the same location.On this point,a multi-task learning(MTL)model,which enables the joint retrieval of PM_(2.5)concentration and AOD,is proposed and applied on the top-of-the-atmosphere reflectance data gathered by the Fengyun-4A Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager(FY-4A AGRI),and compared to that of two single-task learning models—namely,Random Forest(RF)and Deep Neural Network(DNN).Specifically,MTL achieves a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 0.88 and a root-mean-square error(RMSE)of 0.10 in AOD retrieval.In comparison to RF,the R^(2)increases by 0.04,the RMSE decreases by 0.02,and the percentage of retrieval results falling within the expected error range(Within-EE)rises by 5.55%.The R^(2)and RMSE of PM_(2.5)retrieval by MTL are 0.84 and 13.76μg m~(-3)respectively.Compared with RF,the R^(2)increases by 0.06,the RMSE decreases by 4.55μg m~(-3),and the Within-EE increases by 7.28%.Additionally,compared to DNN,MTL shows an increase of 0.01 in R^(2)and a decrease of 0.02 in RMSE in AOD retrieval,with a corresponding increase of 2.89%in Within-EE.For PM_(2.5)retrieval,MTL exhibits an increase of 0.05 in R^(2),a decrease of 1.76μg m~(-3)in RMSE,and an increase of 6.83%in Within-EE.The evaluation suggests that MTL is able to provide simultaneously improved AOD and PM_(2.5)retrievals,demonstrating a significant advantage in efficiently capturing the spatial distribution of PM_(2.5)concentration and AOD.

文摘Accurate short-term forecast of offshore wind fields is still challenging for numerical weather prediction models.Based on three years of 48-hour forecast data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecasting System global model(ECMWF-IFS)over 14 offshore weather stations along the coast of Shandong Province,this study introduces a multi-task learning(MTL)model(TabNet-MTL),which significantly improves the forecast bias of near-surface wind direction and speed simultaneously.TabNet-MTL adopts the feature engineering method,utilizes mean square error as the loss function,and employs the 5-fold cross validation method to ensure the generalization ability of the trained model.It demonstrates superior skills in wind field correction across different forecast lead times over all stations compared to its single-task version(TabNet-STL)and three other popular single-task learning models(Random Forest,LightGBM,and XGBoost).Results show that it significantly reduces root mean square error of the ECMWF-IFS wind speed forecast from 2.20 to 1.25 m s−1,and increases the forecast accuracy of wind direction from 50%to 65%.As an explainable deep learning model,the weather stations and long-term temporal statistics of near-surface wind speed are identified as the most influential variables for TabNet-MTL in constructing its feature engineering.

文摘Staple crops are the cornerstone of the food supply but are frequently threatened by plant diseases.Effective disease management,including disease identification and severity assessment,helps to better address these challenges.Currently,methods for disease severity assessment typically rely on calculating the area proportion of disease segmentation regions or using classification networks for severity assessment.However,these methods require large amounts of labeled data and fail to quantify lesion proportions when using classification networks,leading to inaccurate evaluations.To address these issues,we propose an automated framework for disease severity assessment that combines multi-task learning and knowledge-driven large-model segmentation techniques.This framework includes an image information processor,a lesion and leaf segmentation module,and a disease severity assessment module.First,the image information processor utilizes a multi-task learning strategy to analyze input images comprehensively,ensuring a deep understanding of disease characteristics.Second,the lesion and leaf segmentation module employ prompt-driven large-model technology to accurately segment diseased areas and entire leaves,providing detailed visual analysis.Finally,the disease severity assessment module objectively evaluates the severity of the disease based on professional grading standards by calculating lesion area proportions.Additionally,we have developed a comprehensive database of diseased leaf images from major crops,including several task-specific datasets.Experimental results demonstrate that our framework can accurately identify and assess the types and severity of crop diseases,even without extensive labeled data.Codes and data are available at http://dkp-ads.samlab.cn/.
