Existing network traffic anomaly detection still faces challenges: the inability to fully extract local and global features, as well as the lack of effective mechanisms to capture complex interactions between features;Additionally, when increasing the receptive field to obtain deeper feature representations, the reliance on increasing network depth leads to a significant increase in computational resource consumption, affecting the efficiency and performance of detection. Based on these issues, firstly, this paper proposes a network traffic anomaly detection model based on parallel dilated convolution and residual learning (Res-PDC). To better explore the interactive relationships between features, the traffic samples are converted into two-dimensional matrix. A module combining parallel dilated convolutions and residual learning (res-pdc) was designed to extract local and global features of traffic at different scales. By utilizing res-pdc modules with different dilation rates, we can effectively capture spatial features at different scales and explore feature dependencies spanning wider regions without increasing computational resources. Secondly, to focus and integrate the information in different feature subspaces, further enhance and extract the interactions among the features, multi-head attention is added to Res-PDC, resulting in the final model: multi-head attention enhanced parallel dilated convolution and residual learning (MHA-Res-PDC) for network traffic anomaly detection. Finally, comparisons with other machine learning and deep learning algorithms are conducted on the NSL-KDD and CIC-IDS-2018 datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method in this paper can effectively improve the detection performance.展开更多

文摘Sarcasm detection is a complex and challenging task,particularly in the context of Chinese social media,where it exhibits strong contextual dependencies and cultural specificity.To address the limitations of existing methods in capturing the implicit semantics and contextual associations in sarcastic expressions,this paper proposes an event-aware model for Chinese sarcasm detection,leveraging a multi-head attention(MHA)mechanism and contrastive learning(CL)strategies.The proposed model employs a dual-path Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)encoder to process comment text and event context separately and integrates an MHA mechanism to facilitate deep interactions between the two,thereby capturing multidimensional semantic associations.Additionally,a CL strategy is introduced to enhance feature representation capabilities,further improving the model’s performance in handling class imbalance and complex contextual scenarios.The model achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Chinese sarcasm dataset,with significant improvements in accuracy(79.55%),F1-score(84.22%),and an area under the curve(AUC,84.35%).

文摘Safety maintenance of power equipment is of great importance in power grids,in which image-processing-based defect recognition is supposed to classify abnormal conditions during daily inspection.However,owing to the blurred features of defect images,the current defect recognition algorithm has poor fine-grained recognition ability.Visual attention can achieve fine-grained recognition with its abil-ity to model long-range dependencies while introducing extra computational complexity,especially for multi-head attention in vision transformer structures.Under these circumstances,this paper proposes a self-reduction multi-head attention module that can reduce computational complexity and be easily combined with a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN).In this manner,local and global fea-tures can be calculated simultaneously in our proposed structure,aiming to improve the defect recognition performance.Specifically,the proposed self-reduction multi-head attention can reduce redundant parameters,thereby solving the problem of limited computational resources.Experimental results were obtained based on the defect dataset collected from the substation.The results demonstrated the efficiency and superiority of the proposed method over other advanced algorithms.

文摘As the group-buying model shows significant progress in attracting new users,enhancing user engagement,and increasing platform profitability,providing personalized recommendations for group-buying users has emerged as a new challenge in the field of recommendation systems.This paper introduces a group-buying recommendation model based on multi-head attention mechanisms and multi-task learning,termed the Multi-head Attention Mechanisms and Multi-task Learning Group-Buying Recommendation(MAMGBR)model,specifically designed to optimize group-buying recommendations on e-commerce platforms.The core dataset of this study comes from the Chinese maternal and infant e-commerce platform“Beibei,”encompassing approximately 430,000 successful groupbuying actions and over 120,000 users.Themodel focuses on twomain tasks:recommending items for group organizers(Task Ⅰ)and recommending participants for a given group-buying event(Task Ⅱ).In model evaluation,MAMGBR achieves an MRR@10 of 0.7696 for Task I,marking a 20.23%improvement over baseline models.Furthermore,in Task II,where complex interaction patterns prevail,MAMGBR utilizes auxiliary loss functions to effectively model the multifaceted roles of users,items,and participants,leading to a 24.08%increase in MRR@100 under a 1:99 sample ratio.Experimental results show that compared to benchmark models,such as NGCF and EATNN,MAMGBR’s integration ofmulti-head attentionmechanisms,expert networks,and gating mechanisms enables more accurate modeling of user preferences and social associations within group-buying scenarios,significantly enhancing recommendation accuracy and platform group-buying success rates.

文摘Coal dust explosions are severe safety accidents in coal mine production,posing significant threats to life and property.Predicting the maximum explosion pressure(Pm)of coal dust using deep learning models can effectively assess potential risks and provide a scientific basis for preventing coal dust explosions.In this study,a 20-L explosion sphere apparatus was used to test the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust under seven different particle sizes and ten mass concentrations(Cdust),resulting in a dataset of 70 experimental groups.Through Spearman correlation analysis and random forest feature selection methods,particle size(D_(10),D_(20),D_(50))and mass concentration(Cdust)were identified as critical feature parameters from the ten initial parameters of the coal dust samples.Based on this,a hybrid Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network model incorporating a Multi-Head Attention Mechanism and the Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)was proposed to predict the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The results demonstrate that the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model excels in predicting the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The four evaluation metrics indicate that the model achieved a coefficient of determination(R^(2)),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),and mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.9841,0.0030,0.0074,and 0.0049,respectively,in the training set.In the testing set,these values were 0.9743,0.0087,0.0108,and 0.0069,respectively.Compared to artificial neural networks(ANN),random forest(RF),support vector machines(SVM),particle swarm optimized-SVM(PSO-SVM)neural networks,and the traditional single-model LSTM,the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model demonstrated superior generalization capability and prediction accuracy.The findings of this study not only advance the application of deep learning in coal dust explosion prediction but also provide robust technical support for the prevention and risk assessment of coal dust explosions.

文摘Aiming at the problems of low detection accuracy and large model size of existing object detection algorithms applied to complex road scenes,an improved you only look once version 8(YOLOv8)object detection algorithm for infrared images,F-YOLOv8,is proposed.First,a spatial-to-depth network replaces the traditional backbone network's strided convolution or pooling layer.At the same time,it combines with the channel attention mechanism so that the neural network focuses on the channels with large weight values to better extract low-resolution image feature information;then an improved feature pyramid network of lightweight bidirectional feature pyramid network(L-BiFPN)is proposed,which can efficiently fuse features of different scales.In addition,a loss function of insertion of union based on the minimum point distance(MPDIoU)is introduced for bounding box regression,which obtains faster convergence speed and more accurate regression results.Experimental results on the FLIR dataset show that the improved algorithm can accurately detect infrared road targets in real time with 3%and 2.2%enhancement in mean average precision at 50%IoU(mAP50)and mean average precision at 50%—95%IoU(mAP50-95),respectively,and 38.1%,37.3%and 16.9%reduction in the number of model parameters,the model weight,and floating-point operations per second(FLOPs),respectively.To further demonstrate the detection capability of the improved algorithm,it is tested on the public dataset PASCAL VOC,and the results show that F-YOLO has excellent generalized detection performance.

文摘Traffic flow prediction is a crucial element of intelligent transportation systems.However,accu-rate traffic flow prediction is quite challenging because of its highly nonlinear,complex,and dynam-ic characteristics.To address the difficulties in simultaneously capturing local and global dynamic spatiotemporal correlations in traffic flow,as well as the high time complexity of existing models,a multi-head flow attention-based local-global dynamic hypergraph convolution(MFA-LGDHC)pre-diction model is proposed.which consists of multi-head flow attention(MHFA)mechanism,graph convolution network(GCN),and local-global dynamic hypergraph convolution(LGHC).MHFA is utilized to extract the time dependency of traffic flow and reduce the time complexity of the model.GCN is employed to catch the spatial dependency of traffic flow.LGHC utilizes down-sampling con-volution and isometric convolution to capture the local and global spatial dependencies of traffic flow.And dynamic hypergraph convolution is used to model the dynamic higher-order relationships of the traffic road network.Experimental results indicate that the MFA-LGDHC model outperforms current popular baseline models and exhibits good prediction performance.

文摘Infrared imaging technology has been widely adopted in various fields,such as military reconnaissance,medical diagnosis,and security monitoring,due to its excellent ability to penetrate smoke and fog.However,the prevalent low resolution of infrared images severely limits the accurate interpretation of their contents.In addition,deploying super-resolution models on resource-constrained devices faces significant challenges.To address these issues,this study proposes a lightweight super-resolution network for infrared images based on an adaptive attention mechanism.The network’s dynamic weighting module automatically adjusts the weights of the attention and nonattention branch outputs based on the network’s characteristics at different levels.Among them,the attention branch is further subdivided into pixel attention and brightness-texture attention,which are specialized for extracting the most informative features in infrared images.Meanwhile,the non-attention branch supplements the extraction of those neglected features to enhance the comprehensiveness of the features.Through ablation experiments,we verify the effectiveness of the proposed module.Finally,through experiments on two datasets,FLIR and Thermal101,qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that the model can effectively recover high-frequency details of infrared images and significantly improve image resolution.In detail,compared with the suboptimal method,we have reduced the number of parameters by 30%and improved the model performance.When the scale factor is 2,the peak signal-tonoise ratio of the test datasets FLIR and Thermal101 is improved by 0.09 and 0.15 dB,respectively.When the scale factor is 4,it is improved by 0.05 and 0.09 dB,respectively.In addition,due to the lightweight design of the network structure,it has a low computational cost.It is suitable for deployment on edge devices,thus effectively enhancing the sensing performance of infrared imaging devices.

文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.

文摘Precise traffic flow forecasting is essential for mitigating urban traffic congestion.However,it is difficult for existing methods to adequately capture the dynamic spatio-temporal characteristics and multiscale temporal dependencies of traffic flow.A traffic flow prediction model with multiscale temporal awareness and graph diffusion attention networks(MT-GDAN)is proposed to address these issues.Specifically,a graph diffusion attention module is constructed,which dynamically adjusts and calculates the weights of neighboring nodes in the graph structure using a random graph attention network(GAT)and captures the spatial characteristics of hidden nodes through an adaptive adjacency matrix,thus better exploiting the dynamic spatio-temporal properties of traffic flow.Secondly,a multiscale isometric convolutional network and bi-level routing attention are used to construct a multiscale temporal awareness module.The former extracts local information of traffic flow segments by convolution with different sizes of convolution kernels and then introduces isometric convolution to obtain the global temporal relationship between local features of traffic flow segments;the latter filters irrelevant spatio-temporal features at a coarse regional level and focuses locally on key points to more accurately capture the multiscale temporal dependencies of traffic flows.Experimental results reveal that the MT-GDAN model surpasses the mainstream baseline model in terms of forecasting accuracy and exhibits good prediction performance.
