However, haze we...Environmentalmonitoring systems based on remote sensing technology have a wider monitoringrange and longer timeliness, which makes them widely used in the detection andmanagement of pollution sources. However, haze weather conditions degrade image qualityand reduce the precision of environmental monitoring systems. To address this problem,this research proposes a remote sensing image dehazingmethod based on the atmosphericscattering model and a dark channel prior constrained network. The method consists ofa dehazing network, a dark channel information injection network (DCIIN), and a transmissionmap network. Within the dehazing network, the branch fusion module optimizesfeature weights to enhance the dehazing effect. By leveraging dark channel information,the DCIIN enables high-quality estimation of the atmospheric veil. To ensure the outputof the deep learning model aligns with physical laws, we reconstruct the haze image usingthe prediction results from the three networks. Subsequently, we apply the traditionalloss function and dark channel loss function between the reconstructed haze image and theoriginal haze image. This approach enhances interpretability and reliabilitywhile maintainingadherence to physical principles. Furthermore, the network is trained on a synthesizednon-homogeneous haze remote sensing dataset using dark channel information from cloudmaps. The experimental results show that the proposed network can achieve better imagedehazing on both synthetic and real remote sensing images with non-homogeneous hazedistribution. This research provides a new idea for solving the problem of decreased accuracyof environmental monitoring systems under haze weather conditions and has strongpracticability.展开更多

文摘Artificial Intelligence(AI)is changing healthcare by helping with diagnosis.However,for doctors to trust AI tools,they need to be both accurate and easy to understand.In this study,we created a new machine learning system for the early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)in children.Our main goal was to build a model that is not only good at predicting ASD but also clear in its reasoning.For this,we combined several different models,including Random Forest,XGBoost,and Neural Networks,into a single,more powerful framework.We used two different types of datasets:(i)a standard behavioral dataset and(ii)a more complex multimodal dataset with images,audio,and physiological information.The datasets were carefully preprocessed for missing values,redundant features,and dataset imbalance to ensure fair learning.The results outperformed the state-of-the-art with a Regularized Neural Network,achieving 97.6%accuracy on behavioral data.Whereas,on the multimodal data,the accuracy is 98.2%.Other models also did well with accuracies consistently above 96%.We also used SHAP and LIME on a behavioral dataset for models’explainability.

文摘Reference data for large-scale land cover map are commonly acquired by visual interpretation of remotely sensed data.To assure consistency,multiple images are used,interpreters are trained,sites are interpreted by several individuals,or the procedure includes a review.But little is known about important factors influencing the quality of visually interpreted data.We assessed the effect of multiple variables on land cover class agreement between interpreters and reviewers.Our analyses concerned data collected for validation of a global land cover map within the Copernicus Global Land Service project.Four cycles of visual interpretation were conducted,each was followed by review and feedback.Each interpreted site element was labelled according to dominant land cover type.We assessed relationships between the number of interpretation updates following feedback and the variables grouped in personal,training,and environmental categories.Variable importance was assessed using random forest regression.Personal variable interpreter identifier and training variable timestamp were found the strongest predictors of update counts,while the environmental variables complexity and image availability had least impact.Feedback loops reduced updating and hence improved consistency of the interpretations.Implementing feedback loops into the visually interpreted data collection increases the consistency of acquired land cover reference data.

文摘Environmentalmonitoring systems based on remote sensing technology have a wider monitoringrange and longer timeliness, which makes them widely used in the detection andmanagement of pollution sources. However, haze weather conditions degrade image qualityand reduce the precision of environmental monitoring systems. To address this problem,this research proposes a remote sensing image dehazingmethod based on the atmosphericscattering model and a dark channel prior constrained network. The method consists ofa dehazing network, a dark channel information injection network (DCIIN), and a transmissionmap network. Within the dehazing network, the branch fusion module optimizesfeature weights to enhance the dehazing effect. By leveraging dark channel information,the DCIIN enables high-quality estimation of the atmospheric veil. To ensure the outputof the deep learning model aligns with physical laws, we reconstruct the haze image usingthe prediction results from the three networks. Subsequently, we apply the traditionalloss function and dark channel loss function between the reconstructed haze image and theoriginal haze image. This approach enhances interpretability and reliabilitywhile maintainingadherence to physical principles. Furthermore, the network is trained on a synthesizednon-homogeneous haze remote sensing dataset using dark channel information from cloudmaps. The experimental results show that the proposed network can achieve better imagedehazing on both synthetic and real remote sensing images with non-homogeneous hazedistribution. This research provides a new idea for solving the problem of decreased accuracyof environmental monitoring systems under haze weather conditions and has strongpracticability.

文摘BACKGROUND To investigate the preoperative factors influencing textbook outcomes(TO)in Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)patients and evaluate the feasibility of an interpretable machine learning model for preoperative prediction of TO,we developed a machine learning model for preoperative prediction of TO and used the SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)technique to illustrate the prediction process.AIM To analyze the factors influencing textbook outcomes before surgery and to establish interpretable machine learning models for preoperative prediction.METHODS A total of 376 patients diagnosed with ICC were retrospectively collected from four major medical institutions in China,covering the period from 2011 to 2017.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify preoperative variables associated with achieving TO.Based on these variables,an EXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)machine learning prediction model was constructed using the XGBoost package.The SHAP(package:Shapviz)algorithm was employed to visualize each variable's contribution to the model's predictions.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to compare the prognostic differences between the TO-achieving and non-TO-achieving groups.RESULTS Among 376 patients,287 were included in the training group and 89 in the validation group.Logistic regression identified the following preoperative variables influencing TO:Child-Pugh classification,Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score,hepatitis B,and tumor size.The XGBoost prediction model demonstrated high accuracy in internal validation(AUC=0.8825)and external validation(AUC=0.8346).Survival analysis revealed that the disease-free survival rates for patients achieving TO at 1,2,and 3 years were 64.2%,56.8%,and 43.4%,respectively.CONCLUSION Child-Pugh classification,ECOG score,hepatitis B,and tumor size are preoperative predictors of TO.In both the training group and the validation group,the machine learning model had certain effectiveness in predicting TO before surgery.The SHAP algorithm provided intuitive visualization of the machine learning prediction process,enhancing its interpretability.

文摘Despite significant progress in the Prognostics and Health Management(PHM)domain using pattern learning systems from data,machine learning(ML)still faces challenges related to limited generalization and weak interpretability.A promising approach to overcoming these challenges is to embed domain knowledge into the ML pipeline,enhancing the model with additional pattern information.In this paper,we review the latest developments in PHM,encapsulated under the concept of Knowledge Driven Machine Learning(KDML).We propose a hierarchical framework to define KDML in PHM,which includes scientific paradigms,knowledge sources,knowledge representations,and knowledge embedding methods.Using this framework,we examine current research to demonstrate how various forms of knowledge can be integrated into the ML pipeline and provide roadmap to specific usage.Furthermore,we present several case studies that illustrate specific implementations of KDML in the PHM domain,including inductive experience,physical model,and signal processing.We analyze the improvements in generalization capability and interpretability that KDML can achieve.Finally,we discuss the challenges,potential applications,and usage recommendations of KDML in PHM,with a particular focus on the critical need for interpretability to ensure trustworthy deployment of artificial intelligence in PHM.

文摘The application of machine learning in alloy design is increasingly widespread,yet traditional models still face challenges when dealing with limited datasets and complex nonlinear relationships.This work proposes an interpretable machine learning method based on data augmentation and reconstruction,excavating high-performance low-alloyed magnesium(Mg)alloys.The data augmentation technique expands the original dataset through Gaussian noise.The data reconstruction method reorganizes and transforms the original data to extract more representative features,significantly improving the model's generalization ability and prediction accuracy,with a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 95.9%for the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)model and a R^(2)of 95.3%for the elongation-to-failure(EL)model.The correlation coefficient assisted screening(CCAS)method is proposed to filter low-alloyed target alloys.A new Mg-2.2Mn-0.4Zn-0.2Al-0.2Ca(MZAX2000,wt%)alloy is designed and extruded into bar at given processing parameters,achieving room-temperature strength-ductility synergy showing an excellent UTS of 395 MPa and a high EL of 17.9%.This is closely related to its hetero-structured characteristic in the as-extruded MZAX2000 alloy consisting of coarse grains(16%),fine grains(75%),and fiber regions(9%).Therefore,this work offers new insights into optimizing alloy compositions and processing parameters for attaining new high strong and ductile low-alloyed Mg alloys.

文摘Intelligent fault diagnosis technology plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safety,stability,and efficiency of railway operations.However,existing studies have the following limitations.1)They are typical black-box models that lacks interpretability as well as they fuse features by simply stacking them,overlooking the discrepancies in the importance of different features,which reduces the credibility and diagnosis accuracy of the models.2)They ignore the effects of potentially mistaken labels in the training datasets disrupting the ability of the models to learn the true data distribution,which degrades the generalization performance of intelligent diagnosis models,especially when the training samples are limited.To address the above items,an interpretable few-shot framework for fault diagnosis with noisy labels is proposed for train transmission systems.In the proposed framework,a feature extractor is constructed by stacked frequency band focus modules,which can capture signal features in different frequency bands and further adaptively concentrate on the features corresponding to the potential fault characteristic frequency.Then,according to prototypical network,a novel metric-based classifier is developed that is tolerant to mislabeled support samples in the case of limited samples.Besides,a new loss function is designed to decrease the impact of label mistakes in query datasets.Finally,fault simulation experiments of subway train transmission systems are designed and conducted,and the effectiveness as well as superiority of the proposed method are proved by ablation experiments and comparison with the existing methods.

文摘As batteries become increasingly essential for energy storage technologies,battery prognosis,and diagnosis remain central to ensure reliable operation and effective management,as well as to aid the in-depth investigation of degradation mechanisms.However,dynamic operating conditions,cell-to-cell inconsistencies,and limited availability of labeled data have posed significant challenges to accurate and robust prognosis and diagnosis.Herein,we introduce a time-series-decomposition-based ensembled lightweight learning model(TELL-Me),which employs a synergistic dual-module framework to facilitate accurate and reliable forecasting.The feature module formulates features with physical implications and sheds light on battery aging mechanisms,while the gradient module monitors capacity degradation rates and captures aging trend.TELL-Me achieves high accuracy in end-of-life prediction using minimal historical data from a single battery without requiring offline training dataset,and demonstrates impressive generality and robustness across various operating conditions and battery types.Additionally,by correlating feature contributions with degradation mechanisms across different datasets,TELL-Me is endowed with the diagnostic ability that not only enhances prediction reliability but also provides critical insights into the design and optimization of next-generation batteries.

文摘Topographic maps,as essential tools and sources of information for geographic research,contain precise spatial locations and rich map features,and they illustrate spatio-temporal information on the distribution and differences of various surface features.Currently,topographic maps are mainly stored in raster and vector formats.Extraction of the spatio-temporal knowledge in the maps—such as spatial distribution patterns,feature relationships,and dynamic evolution—still primarily relies on manual interpretation.However,manual interpretation is time-consuming and laborious,especially for large-scale,long-term map knowledge extraction and application.With the development of artificial intelligence technology,it is possible to improve the automation level of map knowledge interpretation.Therefore,the present study proposes an automatic interpretation method for raster topographic map knowledge based on deep learning.To address the limitations of current data-driven intelligent technology in learning map spatial relations and cognitive logic,we establish a formal description of map knowledge by mapping the relationship between map knowledge and features,thereby ensuring interpretation accuracy.Subsequently,deep learning techniques are employed to extract map features automatically,and the spatio-temporal knowledge is constructed by combining formal descriptions of geographic feature knowledge.Validation experiments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively achieves automatic interpretation of spatio-temporal knowledge of geographic features in maps,with an accuracy exceeding 80%.The findings of the present study contribute to machine understanding of spatio-temporal differences in map knowledge and advances the intelligent interpretation and utilization of cartographic information.

文摘Forecasting landslide deformation is challenging due to influence of various internal and external factors on the occurrence of systemic and localized heterogeneities.Despite the potential to improve landslide predictability,deep learning has yet to be sufficiently explored for complex deformation patterns associated with landslides and is inherently opaque.Herein,we developed a holistic landslide deformation forecasting method that considers spatiotemporal correlations of landslide deformation by integrating domain knowledge into interpretable deep learning.By spatially capturing the interconnections between multiple deformations from different observation points,our method contributes to the understanding and forecasting of landslide systematic behavior.By integrating specific domain knowledge relevant to each observation point and merging internal properties with external variables,the local heterogeneity is considered in our method,identifying deformation temporal patterns in different landslide zones.Case studies involving reservoir-induced landslides and creeping landslides demonstrated that our approach(1)enhances the accuracy of landslide deformation forecasting,(2)identifies significant contributing factors and their influence on spatiotemporal deformation characteristics,and(3)demonstrates how identifying these factors and patterns facilitates landslide forecasting.Our research offers a promising and pragmatic pathway toward a deeper understanding and forecasting of complex landslide behaviors.

文摘Deep Learning(DL)model has been widely used in the field of Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition(SAR-ATR)and has achieved excellent performance.However,the black-box nature of DL models has been the focus of criticism,especially in the application of SARATR,which is closely associated with the national defense and security domain.To address these issues,a new interpretable recognition model Physics-Guided BagNet(PGBN)is proposed in this article.The model adopts an interpretable convolutional neural network framework and uses time–frequency analysis to extract physical scattering features in SAR images.Based on the physical scattering features,an unsupervised segmentation method is proposed to distinguish targets from the background in SAR images.On the basis of the segmentation result,a structure is designed,which constrains the model's spatial attention to focus more on the targets themselves rather than the background,thereby making the model's decision-making more in line with physical principles.In contrast to previous interpretable research methods,this model combines interpretable structure with physical interpretability,further reducing the model's risk of error recognition.Experiments on the MSTAR dataset verify that the PGBN model exhibits excellent interpretability and recognition performance,and comparative experiments with heatmaps indicate that the physical feature guidance module presented in this article can constrain the model to focus more on the target itself rather than the background.

文摘The potential toxicity of ionic liquids(ILs)affects their applications;how to control the toxicity is one of the key issues in their applications.To understand its toxicity structure relationship and promote its greener application,six different machine learning algorithms,including Bagging,Adaptive Boosting(AdaBoost),Gradient Boosting(GBoost),Stacking,Voting and Categorical Boosting(CatBoost),are established to model the toxicity of ILs on four distinct datasets including Leukemia rat cell line IPC-81(IPC-81),Acetylcholinesterase(AChE),Escherichia coli(E.coli)and Vibrio fischeri.Molecular descriptors obtained from the simplified molecular input line entry system(SMILES)are used to characterize ILs.All models are assessed by the mean square error(MSE),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE)and correlation coefficient(R^(2)).Additionally,an interpretation model based on SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)is built to determine the positive and negative effects of each molecular feature on toxicity.With additional parameters and complexity,the Catboost model outperforms the other models,making it a more reliable model for ILs'toxicity prediction.The results of the model's interpretation indicate that the most significant positive features,SMR_VSA5,PEOE_VSA8,Kappa2,PEOE_VSA6,SMR_VSA5,PEOE_VSA6 and EState_VSA1,can increase the toxicity of ILs as their levels rise,while the most significant negative features,VSA_EState7,EState_VSA8,PEOE_VSA9 and FpDensityMorgan1,can decrease the toxicity as their levels rise.Also,an IL's toxicity will grow as its average molecular weight and number of pyridine rings increase,whereas its toxicity will decrease as its hydrogen bond acceptors increase.This finding offers a theoretical foundation for rapid screening and synthesis of environmentally-benign ILs.
