Most of the current research builds graph convolutional networks based on dependent syntactic trees, which improves the classification performance of the models to some extent. However, the technical limitations of dependent syntactic trees can introduce considerable noise into the model. Meanwhile, it is difficult for a single graph convolutional network to aggregate both semantic and syntactic structural information of nodes, which affects the final sentence classification. To cope with the above problems, this paper proposes a bi-channel graph convolutional network model. The model introduces a phrase structure tree and transforms it into a hierarchical phrase matrix. The adjacency matrix of the dependent syntactic tree and the hierarchical phrase matrix are combined as the initial matrix of the graph convolutional network to enhance the syntactic information. The semantic information feature representations of the sentences are obtained by the graph convolutional network with a multi-head attention mechanism and fused to achieve complementary learning of dual-channel features. Experimental results show that the model performs well and improves the accuracy of sentiment classification on three public benchmark datasets, namely Rest14, Lap14 and Twitter.展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,This letter deals with the distributed recursive set-membership filtering(DRSMF)issue for state-saturated systems under encryption-decryption mechanism.To guarantee the data security,the encryption-decryption mechanism is considered in the signal transmission process.Specifically,a novel DRSMF scheme is developed such that,for both state saturation and encryption-decryption mechanism,the filtering error(FE)is limited to the ellipsoid domain.Then,the filtering error constraint matrix(FECM)is computed and a desirable filter gain is derived by minimizing the FECM.Besides,the bound-edness evaluation of the FECM is provided.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter addresses the robust predefined-time control challenge for leaderless optimal formation in networked mobile vehicle(NMV)systems.The aim is to minimize a composite global cost function derived from individual strongly convex functions of each agent,considering both input disturbances and network communication constraints.A novel predefined-time optimal formation control(PTOFC)algorithm is presented,ensuring agent state convergence to optimal formation positions within an adjustable settling time.Through the integration of an integral sliding mode technique,disturbances are effectively countered.A representative numerical example highlights the effectiveness and robustness of the developed approach.
文摘Space-division multiplexing(SDM)utilizing uncoupled multi-core fibers(MCF)is considered a promising candidate for nextgeneration high-speed optical transmission systems due to its huge capacity and low inter-core crosstalk.In this paper,we demonstrate a realtime high-speed SDM transmission system over a field-deployed 7-core MCF cable using commercial 400 Gbit/s backbone optical transport network(OTN)transceivers and a network management system.The transceivers employ a high noise-tolerant quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK)modulation format with a 130 Gbaud rate,enabled by optoelectronic multi-chip module(OE-MCM)packaging.The network management system can effectively manage and monitor the performance of the 7-core SDM OTN system and promptly report failure events through alarms.Our field trial demonstrates the compatibility of uncoupled MCF with high-speed OTN transmission equipment and network management systems,supporting its future deployment in next-generation high-speed terrestrial cable transmission networks.
文摘Aspect-oriented sentiment analysis is a meticulous sentiment analysis task that aims to analyse the sentiment polarity of specific aspects. Most of the current research builds graph convolutional networks based on dependent syntactic trees, which improves the classification performance of the models to some extent. However, the technical limitations of dependent syntactic trees can introduce considerable noise into the model. Meanwhile, it is difficult for a single graph convolutional network to aggregate both semantic and syntactic structural information of nodes, which affects the final sentence classification. To cope with the above problems, this paper proposes a bi-channel graph convolutional network model. The model introduces a phrase structure tree and transforms it into a hierarchical phrase matrix. The adjacency matrix of the dependent syntactic tree and the hierarchical phrase matrix are combined as the initial matrix of the graph convolutional network to enhance the syntactic information. The semantic information feature representations of the sentences are obtained by the graph convolutional network with a multi-head attention mechanism and fused to achieve complementary learning of dual-channel features. Experimental results show that the model performs well and improves the accuracy of sentiment classification on three public benchmark datasets, namely Rest14, Lap14 and Twitter.

文摘GNSS time series analysis provides an effective method for research on the earth's surface deformation,and it can be divided into two parts,deterministic models and stochastic models.The former part can be achieved by several parameters,such as polynomial terms,periodic terms,offsets,and post-seismic models.The latter contains some stochastic noises,which can be affected by detecting the former parameters.If there are not enough parameters assumed,modeling errors will occur and adversely affect the analysis results.In this study,we propose a processing strategy in which the commonly-used 1-order of the polynomial term can be replaced with different orders for better fitting GNSS time series of the Crustal Movement Network of China(CMONOC)stations.Initially,we use the Bayesian Information Criterion(BIC)to identify the best order within the range of 1-4 during the fitting process using the white noise plus power-law noise(WN+PL)model.Then,we compare the 1-order and the optimal order on the effect of deterministic models in GNSS time series,including the velocity and its uncertainty,amplitudes,and initial phases of the annual signals.The results indicate that the first-order polynomial in the GNSS time series is not the primary factor.The root mean square(RMS)reduction rates of almost all station components are positive,which means the new fitting of optimal-order polynomial helps to reduce the RMS of residual series.Most stations maintain the velocity difference(VD)within ±1 mm/yr,with percentages of 85.6%,81.9%and 63.4%in the North,East,and Up components,respectively.As for annual signals,the numbers of amplitude difference(AD)remained at ±0.2 mm are 242,239,and 200 in three components,accounting for 99.6%,98.4%,and 82.3%,respectively.This finding reminds us that the detection of the optimal-order polynomial is necessary when we aim to acquire an accurate understanding of the crustal movement features.

文摘In high-risk industrial environments like nuclear power plants,precise defect identification and localization are essential for maintaining production stability and safety.However,the complexity of such a harsh environment leads to significant variations in the shape and size of the defects.To address this challenge,we propose the multivariate time series segmentation network(MSSN),which adopts a multiscale convolutional network with multi-stage and depth-separable convolutions for efficient feature extraction through variable-length templates.To tackle the classification difficulty caused by structural signal variance,MSSN employs logarithmic normalization to adjust instance distributions.Furthermore,it integrates classification with smoothing loss functions to accurately identify defect segments amid similar structural and defect signal subsequences.Our algorithm evaluated on both the Mackey-Glass dataset and industrial dataset achieves over 95%localization and demonstrates the capture capability on the synthetic dataset.In a nuclear plant's heat transfer tube dataset,it captures 90%of defect instances with75%middle localization F1 score.

文摘Although the image dehazing problem has received considerable attention over recent years,the existing models often prioritise performance at the expense of complexity,making them unsuitable for real-world applications,which require algorithms to be deployed on resource constrained-devices.To address this challenge,we propose WaveLiteDehaze-Network(WLD-Net),an end-to-end dehazing model that delivers performance comparable to complex models while operating in real time and using significantly fewer parameters.This approach capitalises on the insight that haze predominantly affects low-frequency infor-mation.By exclusively processing the image in the frequency domain using discrete wavelet transform(DWT),we segregate the image into high and low frequencies and process them separately.This allows us to preserve high-frequency details and recover low-frequency components affected by haze,distinguishing our method from existing approaches that use spatial domain processing as the backbone,with DWT serving as an auxiliary component.DWT is applied at multiple levels for better in-formation retention while also accelerating computation by downsampling feature maps.Subsequently,a learning-based fusion mechanism reintegrates the processed frequencies to reconstruct the dehazed image.Experiments show that WLD-Net out-performs other low-parameter models on real-world hazy images and rivals much larger models,achieving the highest PSNR and SSIM scores on the O-Haze dataset.Qualitatively,the proposed method demonstrates its effectiveness in handling a diverse range of haze types,delivering visually pleasing results and robust performance,while also generalising well across different scenarios.With only 0.385 million parameters(more than 100 times smaller than comparable dehazing methods),WLD-Net processes 1024×1024 images in just 0.045 s,highlighting its applicability across various real-world scenarios.The code is available at https://github.com/AliMurtaza29/WLD-Net.
文摘As financial markets grow increasingly complex and volatile,timeseriesbased stock price forecasting has become a critical research focus in the field of finance.Traditional forecasting methods face significant limitations in handling nonlinear and high-dimensional data,while neural networks(NNs)have demonstrated great potential due to their powerful feature extraction and pattern recognition capabilities.Although several existing surveys discuss the applications of NNs in stock forecasting,they often lack a detailed examination of models that use time-series data as input and fail to cover the latest research developments.In response,this paper reviews relevant literature from 2015 to 2025 and classifies timeseriesbased stock forecasting methods into four categories:NNs,recurrent NNs(RNNs),convolutional NNs(CNNs),Transformers and other models.We analyze their performance under different market conditions,highlight strengths and limitations,and identify recent trends in model design.Our findings show that hybrid architectures and attention-based models consistently achieve superior forecasting stability and adaptability across volatile market scenarios.This survey offers a systematic reference for researchers and practitioners and outlines promising future research directions.
