While the class imbalance issue has been extensively investigated within the multi-class paradigm, its study in the MDC context has been limited due to the imbalance shift phenomenon. A sample’s classification as a minor or major class instance becomes ambiguous when it belongs to a minor class in one LD and a major class in another. Previous MDC methodologies predominantly emphasized instance-wise criteria, neglecting prediction capabilities from a dimension aspect, i.e., the average classification performance across LDs. We assert the significance of dimension-wise metrics in real-world MDC applications and introduce two such metrics. Furthermore, we observe imbalanced class distributions within each LD and propose a novel Imbalance-Aware fusion Model (IMAM) for addressing the MDC problem. Specifically, we first decompose the task into multiple multi-class classification problems, creating imbalance-aware deep models for each LD separately. This straightforward method performs well across LDs without sacrificing performance in instance-wise criteria. Subsequently, we employ LD-wise models as multiple teachers and transfer their knowledge across all LDs to a unified student model. Experimental results on several real-world datasets demonstrate that our IMAM approach excels in both instance-wise evaluations and the proposed dimension-wise metrics.展开更多

Most MDC approaches try to explicitly model the dependencies among class spaces in output space. In contrast, the recently proposed feature augmentation strategy, which aims at manipulating feature space, has also been shown to be an effective solution for MDC. However, existing feature augmentation approaches only focus on designing holistic augmented features to be appended with the original features, while better generalization performance could be achieved by exploiting multiple kinds of augmented features.In this paper, we propose the selective feature augmentation strategy that focuses on synergizing multiple kinds of augmented features.Specifically, by assuming that only part of the augmented features is pertinent and useful for each dimension′s model induction, we derive a classification model which can fully utilize the original features while conduct feature selection for the augmented features. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, we generate three kinds of simple augmented features based on standard k NN, weighted k NN, and maximum margin techniques, respectively. Comparative studies show that the proposed strategy achieves superior performance against both state-of-the-art MDC approaches and its degenerated versions with either kind of augmented features.展开更多

文摘Real-world objects exhibit intricate semantic properties that can be characterized from a multitude of perspectives, which necessitates the development of a model capable of discerning multiple patterns within data, while concurrently predicting several Labeling Dimensions (LDs) — a task known as Multi-dimensional Classification (MDC). While the class imbalance issue has been extensively investigated within the multi-class paradigm, its study in the MDC context has been limited due to the imbalance shift phenomenon. A sample’s classification as a minor or major class instance becomes ambiguous when it belongs to a minor class in one LD and a major class in another. Previous MDC methodologies predominantly emphasized instance-wise criteria, neglecting prediction capabilities from a dimension aspect, i.e., the average classification performance across LDs. We assert the significance of dimension-wise metrics in real-world MDC applications and introduce two such metrics. Furthermore, we observe imbalanced class distributions within each LD and propose a novel Imbalance-Aware fusion Model (IMAM) for addressing the MDC problem. Specifically, we first decompose the task into multiple multi-class classification problems, creating imbalance-aware deep models for each LD separately. This straightforward method performs well across LDs without sacrificing performance in instance-wise criteria. Subsequently, we employ LD-wise models as multiple teachers and transfer their knowledge across all LDs to a unified student model. Experimental results on several real-world datasets demonstrate that our IMAM approach excels in both instance-wise evaluations and the proposed dimension-wise metrics.

文摘In multi-dimensional classification(MDC), the semantics of objects are characterized by multiple class spaces from different dimensions. Most MDC approaches try to explicitly model the dependencies among class spaces in output space. In contrast, the recently proposed feature augmentation strategy, which aims at manipulating feature space, has also been shown to be an effective solution for MDC. However, existing feature augmentation approaches only focus on designing holistic augmented features to be appended with the original features, while better generalization performance could be achieved by exploiting multiple kinds of augmented features.In this paper, we propose the selective feature augmentation strategy that focuses on synergizing multiple kinds of augmented features.Specifically, by assuming that only part of the augmented features is pertinent and useful for each dimension′s model induction, we derive a classification model which can fully utilize the original features while conduct feature selection for the augmented features. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, we generate three kinds of simple augmented features based on standard k NN, weighted k NN, and maximum margin techniques, respectively. Comparative studies show that the proposed strategy achieves superior performance against both state-of-the-art MDC approaches and its degenerated versions with either kind of augmented features.
文摘In recent decades,the proliferation of email communication has markedly escalated,resulting in a concomitant surge in spam emails that congest networks and presenting security risks.This study introduces an innovative spam detection method utilizing the Horse Herd Optimization Algorithm(HHOA),designed for binary classification within multi⁃objective framework.The method proficiently identifies essential features,minimizing redundancy and improving classification precision.The suggested HHOA attained an impressive accuracy of 97.21%on the Kaggle email dataset,with precision of 94.30%,recall of 90.50%,and F1⁃score of 92.80%.Compared to conventional techniques,such as Support Vector Machine(93.89%accuracy),Random Forest(96.14%accuracy),and K⁃Nearest Neighbours(92.08%accuracy),HHOA exhibited enhanced performance with reduced computing complexity.The suggested method demonstrated enhanced feature selection efficiency,decreasing the number of selected features while maintaining high classification accuracy.The results underscore the efficacy of HHOA in spam identification and indicate its potential for further applications in practical email filtering systems.

文摘Visual diagnosis of skin cancer is challenging due to subtle inter-class similarities,variations in skin texture,the presence of hair,and inconsistent illumination.Deep learning models have shown promise in assisting early detection,yet their performance is often limited by the severe class imbalance present in dermoscopic datasets.This paper proposes CANNSkin,a skin cancer classification framework that integrates a convolutional autoencoder with latent-space oversampling to address this imbalance.The autoencoder is trained to reconstruct lesion images,and its latent embeddings are used as features for classification.To enhance minority-class representation,the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique(SMOTE)is applied directly to the latent vectors before classifier training.The encoder and classifier are first trained independently and later fine-tuned end-to-end.On the HAM10000 dataset,CANNSkin achieves an accuracy of 93.01%,a macro-F1 of 88.54%,and an ROC–AUC of 98.44%,demonstrating strong robustness across ten test subsets.Evaluation on the more complex ISIC 2019 dataset further confirms the model’s effectiveness,where CANNSkin achieves 94.27%accuracy,93.95%precision,94.09%recall,and 99.02%F1-score,supported by high reconstruction fidelity(PSNR 35.03 dB,SSIM 0.86).These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed latent-space balancing and fine-tuned representation learning as a new benchmark method for robust and accurate skin cancer classification across heterogeneous datasets.

文摘Succinonitrile(SN)-based polymer plastic crystal electrolytes(PPCEs)are regarded as promising candidates for lithium metal batteries but suffer from serious side reactions with Li metal.Herein,we propose a multi-dimensional optimization strategy to alleviate the side reactions between SN and Li metal,and develop a highly stable poly-vinylethylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VEC).Moreover,we identify the intrinsic factors of multi-dimensional polymer structures on the electrolyte stability by three typical classes of polyesters.The PPCE-VEC constructed by in situ polymerization exhibits much better stability than poly-vinylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VCA)and poly-trifluoroethyl acrylate-based PPCE(PPCE-TFA),which is verified by its fewer SN-decomposition species in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and outstanding full cell performance.The PPCE-VEC-enabled LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell achieve 73.7%capacity retention after 1400 cycles,which outperforms PPCE-VCA-and PPCE-TFA-enabled full cells(61.9%and 46.9%).Spectral analysis and theoretical calculation reveal that the high solvation ability of the carbonyl site,flexible polymer chain,and homogeneous electrolyte phase of PPCE-VEC are favorable to maximizing competition coordination with Li^(+)to weaken the Li^(+)–SN binding and shape an anion-rich solvation structure.This optimized polymer-involved Li^(+)solvation enhances SN stability and facilitates the formation of B/F enriched solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),thus significantly improving PPCE stability.

文摘Arrhythmias are a frequently occurring phenomenon in clinical practice,but how to accurately dis-tinguish subtle rhythm abnormalities remains an ongoing difficulty faced by the entire research community when conducting ECG-based studies.From a review of existing studies,two main factors appear to contribute to this problem:the uneven distribution of arrhythmia classes and the limited expressiveness of features learned by current models.To overcome these limitations,this study proposes a dual-path multimodal framework,termed DM-EHC(Dual-Path Multimodal ECG Heartbeat Classifier),for ECG-based heartbeat classification.The proposed framework links 1D ECG temporal features with 2D time–frequency features.By setting up the dual paths described above,the model can process more dimensions of feature information.The MIT-BIH arrhythmia database was selected as the baseline dataset for the experiments.Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms single modalities and performs better for certain specific types of arrhythmias.The model achieved mean precision,recall,and F1 score of 95.14%,92.26%,and 93.65%,respectively.These results indicate that the framework is robust and has potential value in automated arrhythmia classification.

文摘Near-Earth objects are important not only in studying the early formation of the Solar System,but also because they pose a serious hazard to humanity when they make close approaches to the Earth.Study of their physical properties can provide useful information on their origin,evolution,and hazard to human beings.However,it remains challenging to investigate small,newly discovered,near-Earth objects because of our limited observational window.This investigation seeks to determine the visible colors of near-Earth asteroids(NEAs),perform an initial taxonomic classification based on visible colors and analyze possible correlations between the distribution of taxonomic classification and asteroid size or orbital parameters.Observations were performed in the broadband BVRI Johnson−Cousins photometric system,applied to images from the Yaoan High Precision Telescope and the 1.88 m telescope at the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory.We present new photometric observations of 84 near-Earth asteroids,and classify 80 of them taxonomically,based on their photometric colors.We find that nearly half(46.3%)of the objects in our sample can be classified as S-complex,26.3%as C-complex,6%as D-complex,and 15.0%as X-complex;the remaining belong to the A-or V-types.Additionally,we identify three P-type NEAs in our sample,according to the Tholen scheme.The fractional abundances of the C/X-complex members with absolute magnitude H≥17.0 were more than twice as large as those with H<17.0.However,the fractions of C-and S-complex members with diameters≤1 km and>1 km are nearly equal,while X-complex members tend to have sub-kilometer diameters.In our sample,the C/D-complex objects are predominant among those with a Jovian Tisserand parameter of T_(J)<3.1.These bodies could have a cometary origin.C-and S-complex members account for a considerable proportion of the asteroids that are potentially hazardous.

文摘Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)have proven highly effective for graph classification across diverse fields such as social networks,bioinformatics,and finance,due to their capability to learn complex graph structures.However,despite their success,GNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can significantly degrade their classification accuracy.Existing adversarial attack strategies primarily rely on label information to guide the attacks,which limits their applicability in scenarios where such information is scarce or unavailable.This paper introduces an innovative unsupervised attack method for graph classification,which operates without relying on label information,thereby enhancing its applicability in a broad range of scenarios.Specifically,our method first leverages a graph contrastive learning loss to learn high-quality graph embeddings by comparing different stochastic augmented views of the graphs.To effectively perturb the graphs,we then introduce an implicit estimator that measures the impact of various modifications on graph structures.The proposed strategy identifies and flips edges with the top-K highest scores,determined by the estimator,to maximize the degradation of the model’s performance.In addition,to defend against such attack,we propose a lightweight regularization-based defense mechanism that is specifically tailored to mitigate the structural perturbations introduced by our attack strategy.It enhances model robustness by enforcing embedding consistency and edge-level smoothness during training.We conduct experiments on six public TU graph classification datasets:NCI1,NCI109,Mutagenicity,ENZYMES,COLLAB,and DBLP_v1,to evaluate the effectiveness of our attack and defense strategies.Under an attack budget of 3,the maximum reduction in model accuracy reaches 6.67%on the Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)and 11.67%on the Graph Attention Network(GAT)across different datasets,indicating that our unsupervised method induces degradation comparable to state-of-the-art supervised attacks.Meanwhile,our defense achieves the highest accuracy recovery of 3.89%(GCN)and 5.00%(GAT),demonstrating improved robustness against structural perturbations.

文摘Skin diseases affect millions worldwide.Early detection is key to preventing disfigurement,lifelong disability,or death.Dermoscopic images acquired in primary-care settings show high intra-class visual similarity and severe class imbalance,and occasional imaging artifacts can create ambiguity for state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs).We frame skin lesion recognition as graph-based reasoning and,to ensure fair evaluation and avoid data leakage,adopt a strict lesion-level partitioning strategy.Each image is first over-segmented using SLIC(Simple Linear Iterative Clustering)to produce perceptually homogeneous superpixels.These superpixels form the nodes of a region-adjacency graph whose edges encode spatial continuity.Node attributes are 1280-dimensional embeddings extracted with a lightweight yet expressive EfficientNet-B0 backbone,providing strong representational power at modest computational cost.The resulting graphs are processed by a five-layer Graph Attention Network(GAT)that learns to weight inter-node relationships dynamically and aggregates multi-hop context before classifying lesions into seven classes with a log-softmax output.Extensive experiments on the DermaMNIST benchmark show the proposed pipeline achieves 88.35%accuracy and 98.04%AUC,outperforming contemporary CNNs,AutoML approaches,and alternative graph neural networks.An ablation study indicates EfficientNet-B0 produces superior node descriptors compared with ResNet-18 and DenseNet,and that roughly five GAT layers strike a good balance between being too shallow and over-deep while avoiding oversmoothing.The method requires no data augmentation or external metadata,making it a drop-in upgrade for clinical computer-aided diagnosis systems.

文摘With the recent increase in data volume and diversity,traditional text representation techniques are struggling to capture context,particularly in environments with sparse data.To address these challenges,this study proposes a new model,the Masked Joint Representation Model(MJRM).MJRM approximates the original hypothesis by leveraging multiple elements in a limited context.It dynamically adapts to changes in characteristics based on data distribution through three main components.First,masking-based representation learning,termed selective dynamic masking,integrates topic modeling and sentiment clustering to generate and train multiple instances across different data subsets,whose predictions are then aggregated with optimized weights.This design alleviates sparsity,suppresses noise,and preserves contextual structures.Second,regularization-based improvements are applied.Third,techniques for addressing sparse data are used to perform final inference.As a result,MJRM improves performance by up to 4%compared to existing AI techniques.In our experiments,we analyzed the contribution of each factor,demonstrating that masking,dynamic learning,and aggregating multiple instances complement each other to improve performance.This demonstrates that a masking-based multi-learning strategy is effective for context-aware sparse text classification,and can be useful even in challenging situations such as data shortage or data distribution variations.We expect that the approach can be extended to diverse fields such as sentiment analysis,spam filtering,and domain-specific document classification.
文摘Container transportation is pivotal in global trade due to its efficiency,safety,and cost-effectiveness.However,structural defects—particularly in grapple slots—can result in cargo damage,financial loss,and elevated safety risks,including container drops during lifting operations.Timely and accurate inspection before and after transit is therefore essential.Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on manual observation of internal and external surfaces,which are time-consuming,resource-intensive,and prone to subjective errors.Container roofs pose additional challenges due to limited visibility,while grapple slots are especially vulnerable to wear from frequent use.This study proposes a two-stage automated detection framework targeting defects in container roof grapple slots.In the first stage,YOLOv7 is employed to localize grapple slot regions with high precision.In the second stage,ResNet50 classifies the extracted slots as either intact or defective.The results from both stages are integrated into a human-machine interface for real-time visualization and user verification.Experimental evaluations demonstrate that YOLOv7 achieves a 99%detection rate at 100 frames per second(FPS),while ResNet50 attains 87%classification accuracy at 34 FPS.Compared to some state of the arts,the proposed system offers significant speed,reliability,and usability improvements,enabling efficient defect identification and visual reconfirmation via the interface.
文摘Evaluating the adversarial robustness of classification algorithms in machine learning is a crucial domain.However,current methods lack measurable and interpretable metrics.To address this issue,this paper introduces a visual evaluation index named confidence centroid skewing quadrilateral,which is based on a classification confidence-based confusion matrix,offering a quantitative and visual comparison of the adversarial robustness among different classification algorithms,and enhances intuitiveness and interpretability of attack impacts.We first conduct a validity test and sensitive analysis of the method.Then,prove its effectiveness through the experiments of five classification algorithms including artificial neural network(ANN),logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),convolutional neural network(CNN)and transformer against three adversarial attacks such as fast gradient sign method(FGSM),DeepFool,and projected gradient descent(PGD)attack.

文摘Legal case classification involves the categorization of legal documents into predefined categories,which facilitates legal information retrieval and case management.However,real-world legal datasets often suffer from class imbalances due to the uneven distribution of case types across legal domains.This leads to biased model performance,in the form of high accuracy for overrepresented categories and underperformance for minority classes.To address this issue,in this study,we propose a data augmentation method that masks unimportant terms within a document selectively while preserving key terms fromthe perspective of the legal domain.This approach enhances data diversity and improves the generalization capability of conventional models.Our experiments demonstrate consistent improvements achieved by the proposed augmentation strategy in terms of accuracy and F1 score across all models,validating the effectiveness of the proposed method in legal case classification.
文摘This systematic review aims to comprehensively examine and compare deep learning methods for brain tumor segmentation and classification using MRI and other imaging modalities,focusing on recent trends from 2022 to 2025.The primary objective is to evaluate methodological advancements,model performance,dataset usage,and existing challenges in developing clinically robust AI systems.We included peer-reviewed journal articles and highimpact conference papers published between 2022 and 2025,written in English,that proposed or evaluated deep learning methods for brain tumor segmentation and/or classification.Excluded were non-open-access publications,books,and non-English articles.A structured search was conducted across Scopus,Google Scholar,Wiley,and Taylor&Francis,with the last search performed in August 2025.Risk of bias was not formally quantified but considered during full-text screening based on dataset diversity,validation methods,and availability of performance metrics.We used narrative synthesis and tabular benchmarking to compare performance metrics(e.g.,accuracy,Dice score)across model types(CNN,Transformer,Hybrid),imaging modalities,and datasets.A total of 49 studies were included(43 journal articles and 6 conference papers).These studies spanned over 9 public datasets(e.g.,BraTS,Figshare,REMBRANDT,MOLAB)and utilized a range of imaging modalities,predominantly MRI.Hybrid models,especially ResViT and UNetFormer,consistently achieved high performance,with classification accuracy exceeding 98%and segmentation Dice scores above 0.90 across multiple studies.Transformers and hybrid architectures showed increasing adoption post2023.Many studies lacked external validation and were evaluated only on a few benchmark datasets,raising concerns about generalizability and dataset bias.Few studies addressed clinical interpretability or uncertainty quantification.Despite promising results,particularly for hybrid deep learning models,widespread clinical adoption remains limited due to lack of validation,interpretability concerns,and real-world deployment barriers.

文摘Distributed Denial-of-Service(DDoS)attacks pose severe threats to Industrial Control Networks(ICNs),where service disruption can cause significant economic losses and operational risks.Existing signature-based methods are ineffective against novel attacks,and traditional machine learning models struggle to capture the complex temporal dependencies and dynamic traffic patterns inherent in ICN environments.To address these challenges,this study proposes a deep feature-driven hybrid framework that integrates Transformer,BiLSTM,and KNN to achieve accurate and robust DDoS detection.The Transformer component extracts global temporal dependencies from network traffic flows,while BiLSTM captures fine-grained sequential dynamics.The learned embeddings are then classified using an instance-based KNN layer,enhancing decision boundary precision.This cascaded architecture balances feature abstraction and locality preservation,improving both generalization and robustness.The proposed approach was evaluated on a newly collected real-time ICN traffic dataset and further validated using the public CIC-IDS2017 and Edge-IIoT datasets to demonstrate generalization.Comprehensive metrics including accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,ROC-AUC,PR-AUC,false positive rate(FPR),and detection latency were employed.Results show that the hybrid framework achieves 98.42%accuracy with an ROC-AUC of 0.992 and FPR below 1%,outperforming baseline machine learning and deep learning models.Robustness experiments under Gaussian noise perturbations confirmed stable performance with less than 2%accuracy degradation.Moreover,detection latency remained below 2.1 ms per sample,indicating suitability for real-time ICS deployment.In summary,the proposed hybrid temporal learning and instance-based classification model offers a scalable and effective solution for DDoS detection in industrial control environments.By combining global contextual modeling,sequential learning,and instance-based refinement,the framework demonstrates strong adaptability across datasets and resilience against noise,providing practical utility for safeguarding critical infrastructure.
文摘Honeycombing Lung(HCL)is a chronic lung condition marked by advanced fibrosis,resulting in enlarged air spaces with thick fibrotic walls,which are visible on Computed Tomography(CT)scans.Differentiating between normal lung tissue,honeycombing lungs,and Ground Glass Opacity(GGO)in CT images is often challenging for radiologists and may lead to misinterpretations.Although earlier studies have proposed models to detect and classify HCL,many faced limitations such as high computational demands,lower accuracy,and difficulty distinguishing between HCL and GGO.CT images are highly effective for lung classification due to their high resolution,3D visualization,and sensitivity to tissue density variations.This study introduces Honeycombing Lungs Network(HCL Net),a novel classification algorithm inspired by ResNet50V2 and enhanced to overcome the shortcomings of previous approaches.HCL Net incorporates additional residual blocks,refined preprocessing techniques,and selective parameter tuning to improve classification performance.The dataset,sourced from the University Malaya Medical Centre(UMMC)and verified by expert radiologists,consists of CT images of normal,honeycombing,and GGO lungs.Experimental evaluations across five assessments demonstrated that HCL Net achieved an outstanding classification accuracy of approximately 99.97%.It also recorded strong performance in other metrics,achieving 93%precision,100%sensitivity,89%specificity,and an AUC-ROC score of 97%.Comparative analysis with baseline feature engineering methods confirmed the superior efficacy of HCL Net.The model significantly reduces misclassification,particularly between honeycombing and GGO lungs,enhancing diagnostic precision and reliability in lung image analysis.

文摘Graph neural networks(GNN)have shown strong performance in node classification tasks,yet most existing models rely on uniform or shared weight aggregation,lacking flexibility in modeling the varying strength of relationships among nodes.This paper proposes a novel graph coupling convolutional model that introduces an adaptive weighting mechanism to assign distinct importance to neighboring nodes based on their similarity to the central node.Unlike traditional methods,the proposed coupling strategy enhances the interpretability of node interactions while maintaining competitive classification performance.The model operates in the spatial domain,utilizing adjacency list structures for efficient convolution and addressing the limitations of weight sharing through a coupling-based similarity computation.Extensive experiments are conducted on five graph-structured datasets,including Cora,Citeseer,PubMed,Reddit,and BlogCatalog,as well as a custom topology dataset constructed from the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset(OULAD)educational platform.Results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves good classification accuracy,while significantly reducing training time through direct second-order neighbor fusion and data preprocessing.Moreover,analysis of neighborhood order reveals that considering third-order neighbors offers limited accuracy gains but introduces considerable computational overhead,confirming the efficiency of first-and second-order convolution in practical applications.Overall,the proposed graph coupling model offers a lightweight,interpretable,and effective framework for multi-label node classification in complex networks.

文摘Soft grippers research is gaining increasing attention for their flexibility.However,the conventional soft gripper primar-ily focuses on soft fingers,without considering the palm.This makes grasping forces concentrated in the fingertip areas,resulting in objects being prone to damage and instability during handling,especially for delicate items.Additionally,pre-transportation classification faces challenges:tactile methods are complex,visual methods are environment-sensitive,and both struggle with similar objects.To address these problems,inspired by the human hand's transition between finger grasp and palm support and the lotus's hierarchical structure,this paper proposes a dual-layer gripper,named IOSGrip-per.It features four pneumatic soft fingers and a rotational soft-rigid palm.Through coordinated control of the fingers and palm,it transitions concentrated fingertip squeeze force to distributed palm support force,reducing squeeze force and squeeze duration.Moreover,it integrates a range sensor and four load cells,enabling stable and accurate measurements of the object's height and weight.Furthermore,a classifier is developed based on K-nearest neighbor algorithm,allowing real-time object classification.Experiments demonstrate that compared to only using soft fingers,the IOSGripper signifi-cantly reduces the squeeze force on the objects(with 0 N squeeze force during palm support)and damage on the delicate object,while improving grasping stability.Its height and weight measurement errors are within 2 mm and 1 g,respectively.And it achieves high accuracy in three test scenarios,including classifying similar objects.This study provides useful insights for the design of soft grippers capable of human-like grasping and sorting tasks.

文摘With the rapid development of digital culture,a large number of cultural texts are presented in the form of digital and network.These texts have significant characteristics such as sparsity,real-time and non-standard expression,which bring serious challenges to traditional classification methods.In order to cope with the above problems,this paper proposes a new ASSC(ALBERT,SVD,Self-Attention and Cross-Entropy)-TextRCNN digital cultural text classification model.Based on the framework of TextRCNN,the Albert pre-training language model is introduced to improve the depth and accuracy of semantic embedding.Combined with the dual attention mechanism,the model’s ability to capture and model potential key information in short texts is strengthened.The Singular Value Decomposition(SVD)was used to replace the traditional Max pooling operation,which effectively reduced the feature loss rate and retained more key semantic information.The cross-entropy loss function was used to optimize the prediction results,making the model more robust in class distribution learning.The experimental results indicate that,in the digital cultural text classification task,as compared to the baseline model,the proposed ASSC-TextRCNN method achieves an 11.85%relative improvement in accuracy and an 11.97%relative increase in the F1 score.Meanwhile,the relative error rate decreases by 53.18%.This achievement not only validates the effectiveness and advanced nature of the proposed approach but also offers a novel technical route and methodological underpinnings for the intelligent analysis and dissemination of digital cultural texts.It holds great significance for promoting the in-depth exploration and value realization of digital culture.
