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

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

While deep learning (DL) techniques for data imputation have gained attention, challenges remain, especially when dealing with diverse data types. In this study, we introduce a novel data imputation method based on a modified convolutional neural network, specifically, a Deep Residual-Convolutional Neural Network (DRes-CNN) architecture designed to handle missing values across various datasets. Our approach demonstrates substantial improvements over existing imputation techniques by leveraging residual connections and optimized convolutional layers to capture complex data patterns. We evaluated the model on publicly available datasets, including Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV), which contain critical care patient data, and the Beijing Multi-Site Air Quality dataset, which measures environmental air quality. The proposed DRes-CNN method achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.00006, highlighting its high accuracy and robustness. We also compared with Low Light-Convolutional Neural Network (LL-CNN) and U-Net methods, which had RMSE values of 0.00075 and 0.00073, respectively. This represented an improvement of approximately 92% over LL-CNN and 91% over U-Net. The results showed that this DRes-CNN-based imputation method outperforms current state-of-the-art models. These results established DRes-CNN as a reliable solution for addressing missing data.展开更多

To address this issue, the MobileNetV1 network was developed, which employs depthwise convolution to reduce network complexity. MobileNetV1 employs a stride of 2 in several convolutional layers to decrease the spatial resolution of feature maps, thereby lowering computational costs. However, this stride setting can lead to a loss of spatial information, particularly affecting the detection and representation of smaller objects or finer details in images. To maintain the trade-off between complexity and model performance, a lightweight convolutional neural network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion based on the MobileNetV1 network is proposed. The network consists of two main subnetworks. The first subnetwork uses a depthwise dilated separable convolution (DDSC) layer to learn imaging features with fewer parameters, which results in a lightweight and computationally inexpensive network. Furthermore, depthwise dilated convolution in DDSC layer effectively expands the field of view of filters, allowing them to incorporate a larger context. The second subnetwork is a hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion (HMFF) module that uses parallel multi-resolution branches architecture to process the input feature map in order to extract the multi-scale feature information of the input image. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, Malaria, and KvasirV1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, reducing the network parameters and computational cost by 65.02% and 39.78%, respectively, while maintaining the network performance compared to the MobileNetV1 baseline.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

However, traditional ch...The fifth-generation (5G) communication requires a highly accurate estimation of the channel state information (CSI)to take advantage of the massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system. However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.展开更多

A multiscale and multi-label convolutional neural network( MSMLCNN) is proposed to predict multiple pedestrian attributes simultaneously. The pedestrian attribute classification problem is firstly transformed into a multi-label problem including multiple binary attributes needed to be classified. Then,the multi-label problem is solved by fully connecting all binary attributes to multi-scale features with logistic regression functions. Moreover,the multi-scale features are obtained by concatenating those featured maps produced from multiple pooling layers of the MSMLCNN at different scales. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed MSMLCNN outperforms state-of-the-art pedestrian attribute classification methods with a large margin.展开更多

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Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in image classification tasks, but their increasing model size and computation make them challenging to implement on embedded systems with constrained hardware resources. To address this issue, the MobileNetV1 network was developed, which employs depthwise convolution to reduce network complexity. MobileNetV1 employs a stride of 2 in several convolutional layers to decrease the spatial resolution of feature maps, thereby lowering computational costs. However, this stride setting can lead to a loss of spatial information, particularly affecting the detection and representation of smaller objects or finer details in images. To maintain the trade-off between complexity and model performance, a lightweight convolutional neural network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion based on the MobileNetV1 network is proposed. The network consists of two main subnetworks. The first subnetwork uses a depthwise dilated separable convolution (DDSC) layer to learn imaging features with fewer parameters, which results in a lightweight and computationally inexpensive network. Furthermore, depthwise dilated convolution in DDSC layer effectively expands the field of view of filters, allowing them to incorporate a larger context. The second subnetwork is a hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion (HMFF) module that uses parallel multi-resolution branches architecture to process the input feature map in order to extract the multi-scale feature information of the input image. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, Malaria, and KvasirV1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, reducing the network parameters and computational cost by 65.02% and 39.78%, respectively, while maintaining the network performance compared to the MobileNetV1 baseline.

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The steel tube arch rib in a large-span concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge has a large span and diameter,which also leads to a larger weld seam scale.Large-scale welding seams will inevitably cause more obvious welding residual stress(WRS).For the purpose of studying the influence of WRS from large-scale welding seam on the mechanical properties of steel tube arch rib during arch rib splicing,test research and numerical simulation analysis on the WRS in arch rib splicing based on the Guangxi Pingnan Third Bridge,which is the world’s largest span concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge,were conducted in this paper,and the distribution pattern of WRS at the arch rib splicing joint was obtained.Subsequently,the WRS was introduced into the mechanical performance analysis of joints and structures to analyze its effects.The findings reveal that the distribution of WRS in the arch rib is greatly influenced by the rib plate,and the axial WRS in the heat-affected zone are primarily tensile,while the circumferential WRS are distributed in an alternating pattern of tensile and compressive stresses along the circumferential direction of the main tube.Under the influence of WRS,the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint is reduced by 29.4%,the initial axial stiffness is reduced by 4.32%,and the vertical deformation of the arch rib structure is increased by 4.7%.

文摘Segmentation of the retinal vessels in the fundus is crucial for diagnosing ocular diseases.Retinal vessel images often suffer from category imbalance and large scale variations.This ultimately results in incomplete vessel segmentation and poor continuity.In this study,we propose CT-MFENet to address the aforementioned issues.First,the use of context transformer(CT)allows for the integration of contextual feature information,which helps establish the connection between pixels and solve the problem of incomplete vessel continuity.Second,multi-scale dense residual networks are used instead of traditional CNN to address the issue of inadequate local feature extraction when the model encounters vessels at multiple scales.In the decoding stage,we introduce a local-global fusion module.It enhances the localization of vascular information and reduces the semantic gap between high-and low-level features.To address the class imbalance in retinal images,we propose a hybrid loss function that enhances the segmentation ability of the model for topological structures.We conducted experiments on the publicly available DRIVE,CHASEDB1,STARE,and IOSTAR datasets.The experimental results show that our CT-MFENet performs better than most existing methods,including the baseline U-Net.

文摘Deep convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have demonstrated remarkable performance in video super-resolution(VSR).However,the ability of most existing methods to recover fine details in complex scenes is often hindered by the loss of shallow texture information during feature extraction.To address this limitation,we propose a 3D Convolutional Enhanced Residual Video Super-Resolution Network(3D-ERVSNet).This network employs a forward and backward bidirectional propagation module(FBBPM)that aligns features across frames using explicit optical flow through lightweight SPyNet.By incorporating an enhanced residual structure(ERS)with skip connections,shallow and deep features are effectively integrated,enhancing texture restoration capabilities.Furthermore,3D convolution module(3DCM)is applied after the backward propagation module to implicitly capture spatio-temporal dependencies.The architecture synergizes these components where FBBPM extracts aligned features,ERS fuses hierarchical representations,and 3DCM refines temporal coherence.Finally,a deep feature aggregation module(DFAM)fuses the processed features,and a pixel-upsampling module(PUM)reconstructs the high-resolution(HR)video frames.Comprehensive evaluations on REDS,Vid4,UDM10,and Vim4 benchmarks demonstrate well performance including 30.95 dB PSNR/0.8822 SSIM on REDS and 32.78 dB/0.8987 on Vim4.3D-ERVSNet achieves significant gains over baselines while maintaining high efficiency with only 6.3M parameters and 77ms/frame runtime(i.e.,20×faster than RBPN).The network’s effectiveness stems from its task-specific asymmetric design that balances explicit alignment and implicit fusion.

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 fifth-generation (5G) communication requires a highly accurate estimation of the channel state information (CSI)to take advantage of the massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system. However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.

文摘Although the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)has shown great potential for land cover classification,the frequently used single-scale convolution kernel limits the scope of informa-tion extraction.Therefore,we propose a Multi-Scale Fully Convolutional Network(MSFCN)with a multi-scale convolutional kernel as well as a Channel Attention Block(CAB)and a Global Pooling Module(GPM)in this paper to exploit discriminative representations from two-dimensional(2D)satellite images.Meanwhile,to explore the ability of the proposed MSFCN for spatio-temporal images,we expand our MSFCN to three-dimension using three-dimensional(3D)CNN,capable of harnessing each land cover category’s time series interac-tion from the reshaped spatio-temporal remote sensing images.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN,we conduct experiments on two spatial datasets and two spatio-temporal datasets.The proposed MSFCN achieves 60.366%on the WHDLD dataset and 75.127%on the GID dataset in terms of mIoU index while the figures for two spatio-temporal datasets are 87.753%and 77.156%.Extensive comparative experiments and abla-tion studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN.

文摘The tradeoff between efficiency and model size of the convolutional neural network(CNN)is an essential issue for applications of CNN-based algorithms to diverse real-world tasks.Although deep learning-based methods have achieved significant improvements in image super-resolution(SR),current CNNbased techniques mainly contain massive parameters and a high computational complexity,limiting their practical applications.In this paper,we present a fast and lightweight framework,named weighted multi-scale residual network(WMRN),for a better tradeoff between SR performance and computational efficiency.With the modified residual structure,depthwise separable convolutions(DS Convs)are employed to improve convolutional operations’efficiency.Furthermore,several weighted multi-scale residual blocks(WMRBs)are stacked to enhance the multi-scale representation capability.In the reconstruction subnetwork,a group of Conv layers are introduced to filter feature maps to reconstruct the final high-quality image.Extensive experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed model,and the comparative results with several state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness of WMRN.

文摘As an integrated application of modern information technologies and artificial intelligence,Prognostic and Health Management(PHM)is important for machine health monitoring.Prediction of tool wear is one of the symbolic applications of PHM technology in modern manufacturing systems and industry.In this paper,a multi-scale Convolutional Gated Recurrent Unit network(MCGRU)is proposed to address raw sensory data for tool wear prediction.At the bottom of MCGRU,six parallel and independent branches with different kernel sizes are designed to form a multi-scale convolutional neural network,which augments the adaptability to features of different time scales.These features of different scales extracted from raw data are then fed into a Deep Gated Recurrent Unit network to capture long-term dependencies and learn significant representations.At the top of the MCGRU,a fully connected layer and a regression layer are built for cutting tool wear prediction.Two case studies are performed to verify the capability and effectiveness of the proposed MCGRU network and results show that MCGRU outperforms several state-of-the-art baseline models.

文摘Microphone array-based sound source localization(SSL)is widely used in a variety of occasions such as video conferencing,robotic hearing,speech enhancement,speech recognition and so on.The traditional SSL methods cannot achieve satisfactory performance in adverse noisy and reverberant environments.In order to improve localization performance,a novel SSL algorithm using convolutional residual network(CRN)is proposed in this paper.The spatial features including time difference of arrivals(TDOAs)between microphone pairs and steered response power-phase transform(SRPPHAT)spatial spectrum are extracted in each Gammatone sub-band.The spatial features of different sub-bands with a frame are combine into a feature matrix as the input of CRN.The proposed algorithm employ CRN to fuse the spatial features.Since the CRN introduces the residual structure on the basis of the convolutional network,it reduce the difficulty of training procedure and accelerate the convergence of the model.A CRN model is learned from the training data in various reverberation and noise environments to establish the mapping regularity between the input feature and the sound azimuth.Through simulation verification,compared with the methods using traditional deep neural network,the proposed algorithm can achieve a better localization performance in SSL task,and provide better generalization capacity to untrained noise and reverberation.

文摘Recently,deep learning(DL)has been widely used in the field of remaining useful life(RUL)prediction.Among various DL technologies,recurrent neural network(RNN)and its variant,e.g.,long short-term memory(LSTM)network,have gained extensive attention for their ability to capture temporal dependence.Although existing RNN-based methods have demonstrated their RUL prediction effectiveness,they still suffer from the following two limitations:1)it is difficult for the RNN to directly extract degradation features from original monitoring data and 2)most RNN-based prognostics methods are unable to quantify RUL uncertainty.To address the aforementioned limitations,this paper proposes a new prognostics method named residual convolution LSTM(RC-LSTM)network.In the RC-LSTM,a new ResNet-based convolution LSTM(Res-ConvLSTM)layer is stacked with a convolution LSTM(ConvLSTM)layer to extract degradation representations from monitoring data.Then,under the assumption that the RUL follows a normal distribution,an appropriate output layer is constructed to quantify the uncertainty of prediction results.Finally,the effectiveness and superiority of the RC-LSTM are verified using monitoring data from accelerated bearing degradation tests.

文摘Pedestrian attribute classification from a pedestrian image captured in surveillance scenarios is challenging due to diverse clothing appearances,varied poses and different camera views. A multiscale and multi-label convolutional neural network( MSMLCNN) is proposed to predict multiple pedestrian attributes simultaneously. The pedestrian attribute classification problem is firstly transformed into a multi-label problem including multiple binary attributes needed to be classified. Then,the multi-label problem is solved by fully connecting all binary attributes to multi-scale features with logistic regression functions. Moreover,the multi-scale features are obtained by concatenating those featured maps produced from multiple pooling layers of the MSMLCNN at different scales. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed MSMLCNN outperforms state-of-the-art pedestrian attribute classification methods with a large margin.
