To address ...Accurate traffic flow prediction has a profound impact on modern traffic management. Traffic flow has complex spatial-temporal correlations and periodicity, which poses difficulties for precise prediction. To address this problem, a Multi-head Self-attention and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (MSSTGCN) for multiscale traffic flow prediction is proposed. Firstly, to capture the hidden traffic periodicity of traffic flow, traffic flow is divided into three kinds of periods, including hourly, daily, and weekly data. Secondly, a graph attention residual layer is constructed to learn the global spatial features across regions. Local spatial-temporal dependence is captured by using a T-GCN module. Thirdly, a transformer layer is introduced to learn the long-term dependence in time. A position embedding mechanism is introduced to label position information for all traffic sequences. Thus, this multi-head self-attention mechanism can recognize the sequence order and allocate weights for different time nodes. Experimental results on four real-world datasets show that the MSSTGCN performs better than the baseline methods and can be successfully adapted to traffic prediction tasks.展开更多

Traditional approaches often fail in the face of challenges such as low contrast, morphological variability, and densely packed structures. Recent advancements in deep learning have transformed segmentation capabilities through the integration of fine-scale detail preservation, coarse-scale contextual modeling, and multi-scale feature fusion. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of state-of-the-art deep learning models, including U-Net variants, attention-based frameworks, and Transformer-integrated networks, highlighting innovations that improve accuracy, generalizability, and computational efficiency. Key architectural components such as convolution operations, shallow and deep blocks, skip connections, and hybrid encoders are examined for their roles in enhancing spatial representation and semantic consistency. We further discuss the importance of hierarchical and instance-aware segmentation and annotation in interpreting complex biological scenes and multiplexed medical images. By bridging methodological developments with diverse application domains, this paper outlines current trends and future directions for semantic segmentation, emphasizing its critical role in facilitating annotation, diagnosis, and discovery in biomedical research.展开更多

文摘As the types of traffic requests increase,the elastic optical network(EON)is considered as a promising architecture to carry multiple types of traffic requests simultaneously,including immediate reservation(IR)and advance reservation(AR).Various resource allocation schemes for IR/AR requests have been designed in EON to reduce bandwidth blocking probability(BBP).However,these schemes do not consider different transmission requirements of IR requests and cannot maintain a low BBP for high-priority requests.In this paper,multi-priority is considered in the hybrid IR/AR request scenario.We modify the asynchronous advantage actor critic(A3C)model and propose an A3C-assisted priority resource allocation(APRA)algorithm.The APRA integrates priority and transmission quality of IR requests to design the A3C reward function,then dynamically allocates dedicated resources for different IR requests according to the time-varying requirements.By maximizing the reward,the transmission quality of IR requests can be matched with the priority,and lower BBP for high-priority IR requests can be ensured.Simulation results show that the APRA reduces the BBP of high-priority IR requests from 0.0341 to0.0138,and the overall network operation gain is improved by 883 compared to the scheme without considering the priority.

文摘With the prevalence of renewable distributed energy resources(DERs)such as photovoltaics(PVs),modern active distribution networks(ADNs)suffer from voltage deviation and power quality issues.However,traditional voltage control methods often face a trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness,and rarely ensure robust voltage safety under typical state perturbations in practical distribution grids.In this paper,a robust model-free voltage regulation approach is proposed which simultaneously takes security and robustness into account.In this context,the voltage control problem is formulated as a constrained Markov decision process(CMDP).A safety-augmented multiagent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG)algorithm is the trained to enable real-time collaborative optimization of ADNs,aiming to maintain nodal voltages within safe operational limits while minimizing total line losses.Moreover,a robust regulation loss is introduced to ensure reliable performance under various state perturbations in practical voltage controls.The proposed regulation algorithm effectively balance efficiency,safety,and robustness,and also demonstrates potential for generalizing these characteristics to other applications.Numerical studies vali-date the robustness of the proposed method under varying state perturbations on the IEEE test cases and the optimal integrated control performance when compared to other benchmarks.

文摘In response to the rising demand for low-latency,computation-intensive applications in vehicular networks,this paper proposes an adaptive task offloading approach for Vehicle-to-Everything(V2X)environments.Leveraging an enhanced Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(MADDPG)algorithm with an attention mechanism,the proposed approach optimizes computation offloading and resource allocation,aiming to minimize energy consumption and service delay.In this paper,vehicles dynamically offload computing-intensive tasks to both nearby vehicles through V2V links and roadside units through V2I links.The adaptive attention mechanism enables the system to prioritize relevant state information,leading to faster convergence.Simulations conducted in a realistic urban V2X scenario demonstrate that the proposed Attention-enhanced MADDPG(AT-MADDPG)algorithm significantly improves performance,achieving notable reductions in both energy consumption and latency compared to baseline algorithms,especially in high-demand,dynamic scenarios.

文摘Precipitation nowcasting is of great importance for disaster prevention and mitigation.However,precipitation is a complex spatio-temporal phenomenon influenced by various underlying physical factors.Even slight changes in the initial precipitation field can have a significant impact on the future precipitation patterns,making the nowcasting of short-term high-resolution precipitation a major challenge.Traditional deep learning methods often have difficulty capturing the long-term spatial dependence of precipitation and are usually at a low resolution.To address these issues,based upon the Simpler yet Better Video Prediction(SimVP)framework,we proposed a deep generative neural network that incorporates the Simple Parameter-Free Attention Module(SimAM)and Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)for short-term high-resolution precipitation event forecasting.Through an adversarial training strategy,critical precipitation features were extracted from complex radar echo images.During the adversarial learning process,the dynamic competition between the generator and the discriminator could continuously enhance the model in prediction accuracy and resolution for short-term precipitation.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method could effectively forecast short-term precipitation events on various scales and showed the best overall performance among existing methods.

文摘Convolutional neural networks(CNNs)-based medical image segmentation technologies have been widely used in medical image segmentation because of their strong representation and generalization abilities.However,due to the inability to effectively capture global information from images,CNNs can easily lead to loss of contours and textures in segmentation results.Notice that the transformer model can effectively capture the properties of long-range dependencies in the image,and furthermore,combining the CNN and the transformer can effectively extract local details and global contextual features of the image.Motivated by this,we propose a multi-branch and multi-scale attention network(M2ANet)for medical image segmentation,whose architecture consists of three components.Specifically,in the first component,we construct an adaptive multi-branch patch module for parallel extraction of image features to reduce information loss caused by downsampling.In the second component,we apply residual block to the well-known convolutional block attention module to enhance the network’s ability to recognize important features of images and alleviate the phenomenon of gradient vanishing.In the third component,we design a multi-scale feature fusion module,in which we adopt adaptive average pooling and position encoding to enhance contextual features,and then multi-head attention is introduced to further enrich feature representation.Finally,we validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed M2ANet method through comparative experiments on four benchmark medical image segmentation datasets,particularly in the context of preserving contours and textures.

文摘Parkinson’s disease(PD)is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting over 10 million people worldwide.PD classification models using voice signals as input are common in the literature.It is believed that using deep learning algorithms further enhances performance;nevertheless,it is challenging due to the nature of small-scale and imbalanced PD datasets.This paper proposed a convolutional neural network-based deep support vector machine(CNN-DSVM)to automate the feature extraction process using CNN and extend the conventional SVM to a DSVM for better classification performance in small-scale PD datasets.A customized kernel function reduces the impact of biased classification towards the majority class(healthy candidates in our consideration).An improved generative adversarial network(IGAN)was designed to generate additional training data to enhance the model’s performance.For performance evaluation,the proposed algorithm achieves a sensitivity of 97.6%and a specificity of 97.3%.The performance comparison is evaluated from five perspectives,including comparisons with different data generation algorithms,feature extraction techniques,kernel functions,and existing works.Results reveal the effectiveness of the IGAN algorithm,which improves the sensitivity and specificity by 4.05%–4.72%and 4.96%–5.86%,respectively;and the effectiveness of the CNN-DSVM algorithm,which improves the sensitivity by 1.24%–57.4%and specificity by 1.04%–163%and reduces biased detection towards the majority class.The ablation experiments confirm the effectiveness of individual components.Two future research directions have also been suggested.

文摘In recent years,gait-based emotion recognition has been widely applied in the field of computer vision.However,existing gait emotion recognition methods typically rely on complete human skeleton data,and their accuracy significantly declines when the data is occluded.To enhance the accuracy of gait emotion recognition under occlusion,this paper proposes a Multi-scale Suppression Graph ConvolutionalNetwork(MS-GCN).TheMS-GCN consists of three main components:Joint Interpolation Module(JI Moudle),Multi-scale Temporal Convolution Network(MS-TCN),and Suppression Graph Convolutional Network(SGCN).The JI Module completes the spatially occluded skeletal joints using the(K-Nearest Neighbors)KNN interpolation method.The MS-TCN employs convolutional kernels of various sizes to comprehensively capture the emotional information embedded in the gait,compensating for the temporal occlusion of gait information.The SGCN extracts more non-prominent human gait features by suppressing the extraction of key body part features,thereby reducing the negative impact of occlusion on emotion recognition results.The proposed method is evaluated on two comprehensive datasets:Emotion-Gait,containing 4227 real gaits from sources like BML,ICT-Pollick,and ELMD,and 1000 synthetic gaits generated using STEP-Gen technology,and ELMB,consisting of 3924 gaits,with 1835 labeled with emotions such as“Happy,”“Sad,”“Angry,”and“Neutral.”On the standard datasets Emotion-Gait and ELMB,the proposed method achieved accuracies of 0.900 and 0.896,respectively,attaining performance comparable to other state-ofthe-artmethods.Furthermore,on occlusion datasets,the proposedmethod significantly mitigates the performance degradation caused by occlusion compared to other methods,the accuracy is significantly higher than that of other methods.
文摘Faulty-feeder detection in neutral point noneffectively grounded distribution networks consistently attracts research attention since it directly affects quality and safety of energy supply.Most modern research on faulty-feeder detection tends to apply more complex digital signal processing techniques and deeper neural networks in order to better extract and learn as many detailed characteristics as possible.However,these approaches may easily result in overfitting and high computational cost,which cannot meet requirements for detection accuracy and efficiency in practical applications.This paper proposes an innovative waveform encoding method and details a simple convolutional neural network(CNN)with one layer of convolution used for identification,which seeks to improve detection accuracy and efficiency simultaneously.First,sparse characteristics of waveforms are utilized to encode into compact vectors,and a waveform-vector matrix is generated.Second,to deduce waveform-vector matrix,a simple CNN with multi-scale filters and one layer of convolution is established.Finally,a methodology for faulty-feeder detection is proposed,and both detection accuracy and efficiency are considerably enhanced.Comparative studies have confirmed clear superiority of the developed method,which outperforms existing approaches in both detection accuracy and efficiency,thus highlighting its significant potential for application.

文摘Accurate traffic flow prediction has a profound impact on modern traffic management. Traffic flow has complex spatial-temporal correlations and periodicity, which poses difficulties for precise prediction. To address this problem, a Multi-head Self-attention and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (MSSTGCN) for multiscale traffic flow prediction is proposed. Firstly, to capture the hidden traffic periodicity of traffic flow, traffic flow is divided into three kinds of periods, including hourly, daily, and weekly data. Secondly, a graph attention residual layer is constructed to learn the global spatial features across regions. Local spatial-temporal dependence is captured by using a T-GCN module. Thirdly, a transformer layer is introduced to learn the long-term dependence in time. A position embedding mechanism is introduced to label position information for all traffic sequences. Thus, this multi-head self-attention mechanism can recognize the sequence order and allocate weights for different time nodes. Experimental results on four real-world datasets show that the MSSTGCN performs better than the baseline methods and can be successfully adapted to traffic prediction tasks.

文摘Semantic segmentation plays a foundational role in biomedical image analysis, providing precise information about cellular, tissue, and organ structures in both biological and medical imaging modalities. Traditional approaches often fail in the face of challenges such as low contrast, morphological variability, and densely packed structures. Recent advancements in deep learning have transformed segmentation capabilities through the integration of fine-scale detail preservation, coarse-scale contextual modeling, and multi-scale feature fusion. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of state-of-the-art deep learning models, including U-Net variants, attention-based frameworks, and Transformer-integrated networks, highlighting innovations that improve accuracy, generalizability, and computational efficiency. Key architectural components such as convolution operations, shallow and deep blocks, skip connections, and hybrid encoders are examined for their roles in enhancing spatial representation and semantic consistency. We further discuss the importance of hierarchical and instance-aware segmentation and annotation in interpreting complex biological scenes and multiplexed medical images. By bridging methodological developments with diverse application domains, this paper outlines current trends and future directions for semantic segmentation, emphasizing its critical role in facilitating annotation, diagnosis, and discovery in biomedical research.
文摘The application of image super-resolution(SR)has brought significant assistance in the medical field,aiding doctors to make more precise diagnoses.However,solely relying on a convolutional neural network(CNN)for image SR may lead to issues such as blurry details and excessive smoothness.To address the limitations,we proposed an algorithm based on the generative adversarial network(GAN)framework.In the generator network,three different sizes of convolutions connected by a residual dense structure were used to extract detailed features,and an attention mechanism combined with dual channel and spatial information was applied to concentrate the computing power on crucial areas.In the discriminator network,using InstanceNorm to normalize tensors sped up the training process while retaining feature information.The experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index measure(SSIM)compared to other methods,resulting in an improved visual quality.

文摘Whole brain functional connectivity(FC)patterns obtained from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)have been widely used in the diagnosis of brain disorders such as autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Recently,an increasing number of studies have focused on employing deep learning techniques to analyze FC patterns for brain disease classification.However,the high dimensionality of the FC features and the interpretation of deep learning results are issues that need to be addressed in the FC-based brain disease classification.In this paper,we proposed a multi-scale attention-based deep neural network(MSA-DNN)model to classify FC patterns for the ASD diagnosis.The model was implemented by adding a flexible multi-scale attention(MSA)module to the auto-encoder based backbone DNN,which can extract multi-scale features of the FC patterns and change the level of attention for different FCs by continuous learning.Our model will reinforce the weights of important FC features while suppress the unimportant FCs to ensure the sparsity of the model weights and enhance the model interpretability.We performed systematic experiments on the large multi-sites ASD dataset with both ten-fold and leaveone-site-out cross-validations.Results showed that our model outperformed classical methods in brain disease classification and revealed robust intersite prediction performance.We also localized important FC features and brain regions associated with ASD classification.Overall,our study further promotes the biomarker detection and computer-aided classification for ASD diagnosis,and the proposed MSA module is flexible and easy to implement in other classification networks.

文摘Rockburst is a phenomenon in which free surfaces are formed during excavation,which subsequently causes the sudden release of energy in the construction of mines and tunnels.Light rockburst only peels off rock slices without ejection,while severe rockburst causes casualties and property loss.The frequency and degree of rockburst damage increases with the excavation depth.Moreover,rockburst is the leading engineering geological hazard in the excavation process,and thus the prediction of its intensity grade is of great significance to the development of geotechnical engineering.Therefore,the prediction of rockburst intensity grade is one problem that needs to be solved urgently.By comprehensively considering the occurrence mechanism of rockburst,this paper selects the stress index(σθ/σc),brittleness index(σ_(c)/σ_(t)),and rock elastic energy index(Wet)as the rockburst evaluation indexes through the Spearman coefficient method.This overcomes the low accuracy problem of a single evaluation index prediction method.Following this,the BGD-MSR-DNN rockburst intensity grade prediction model based on batch gradient descent and a multi-scale residual deep neural network is proposed.The batch gradient descent(BGD)module is used to replace the gradient descent algorithm,which effectively improves the efficiency of the network and reduces the model training time.Moreover,the multi-scale residual(MSR)module solves the problem of network degradation when there are too many hidden layers of the deep neural network(DNN),thus improving the model prediction accuracy.The experimental results reveal the BGDMSR-DNN model accuracy to reach 97.1%,outperforming other comparable models.Finally,actual projects such as Qinling Tunnel and Daxiangling Tunnel,reached an accuracy of 100%.The model can be applied in mines and tunnel engineering to realize the accurate and rapid prediction of rockburst intensity grade.
