文摘The ability to accurately predict urban traffic flows is crucial for optimising city operations.Consequently,various methods for forecasting urban traffic have been developed,focusing on analysing historical data to understand complex mobility patterns.Deep learning techniques,such as graph neural networks(GNNs),are popular for their ability to capture spatio-temporal dependencies.However,these models often become overly complex due to the large number of hyper-parameters involved.In this study,we introduce Dynamic Multi-Graph Spatial-Temporal Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equation Networks(DMST-GNODE),a framework based on ordinary differential equations(ODEs)that autonomously discovers effective spatial-temporal graph neural network(STGNN)architectures for traffic prediction tasks.The comparative analysis of DMST-GNODE and baseline models indicates that DMST-GNODE model demonstrates superior performance across multiple datasets,consistently achieving the lowest Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and Mean Absolute Error(MAE)values,alongside the highest accuracy.On the BKK(Bangkok)dataset,it outperformed other models with an RMSE of 3.3165 and an accuracy of 0.9367 for a 20-min interval,maintaining this trend across 40 and 60 min.Similarly,on the PeMS08 dataset,DMST-GNODE achieved the best performance with an RMSE of 19.4863 and an accuracy of 0.9377 at 20 min,demonstrating its effectiveness over longer periods.The Los_Loop dataset results further emphasise this model’s advantage,with an RMSE of 3.3422 and an accuracy of 0.7643 at 20 min,consistently maintaining superiority across all time intervals.These numerical highlights indicate that DMST-GNODE not only outperforms baseline models but also achieves higher accuracy and lower errors across different time intervals and datasets.
文摘The increasing popularity of the Internet and the widespread use of information technology have led to a rise in the number and sophistication of network attacks and security threats.Intrusion detection systems are crucial to network security,playing a pivotal role in safeguarding networks from potential threats.However,in the context of an evolving landscape of sophisticated and elusive attacks,existing intrusion detection methodologies often overlook critical aspects such as changes in network topology over time and interactions between hosts.To address these issues,this paper proposes a real-time network intrusion detection method based on graph neural networks.The proposedmethod leverages the advantages of graph neural networks and employs a straightforward graph construction method to represent network traffic as dynamic graph-structured data.Additionally,a graph convolution operation with a multi-head attention mechanism is utilized to enhance the model’s ability to capture the intricate relationships within the graph structure comprehensively.Furthermore,it uses an integrated graph neural network to address dynamic graphs’structural and topological changes at different time points and the challenges of edge embedding in intrusion detection data.The edge classification problem is effectively transformed into node classification by employing a line graph data representation,which facilitates fine-grained intrusion detection tasks on dynamic graph node feature representations.The efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated using two commonly used intrusion detection datasets,UNSW-NB15 and NF-ToN-IoT-v2,and results are compared with previous studies in this field.The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves 99.3%and 99.96%accuracy on the two datasets,respectively,and outperforms the benchmark model in several evaluation metrics.

文摘Reverse design of highly GeO2-doped silica optical fibers with broadband and flat dispersion profiles is proposed using a neural network(NN) combined with a particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm.Firstly,the NN model designed to predict optical fiber dispersion is trained with an appropriate choice of hyperparameters,achieving a root mean square error(RMSE) of 9.47×10-7on the test dataset,with a determination coefficient(R2) of 0.999.Secondly,the NN is combined with the PSO algorithm for the inverse design of dispersion-flattened optical fibers.To expand the search space and avoid particles becoming trapped in local optimal solutions,the PSO algorithm incorporates adaptive inertia weight updating and a simulated annealing algorithm.Finally,by using a suitable fitness function,the designed fibers exhibit flat group velocity dispersion(GVD) profiles at 1 400—2 400 nm,where the GVD fluctuations and minimum absolute GVD values are below 18 ps·nm-1·km-1and 7 ps·nm-1·km-1,respectively.

文摘Spiking Neural Network(SNN)inspired by the biological triggering mechanism of neurons to provide a novel solution for plant disease detection,offering enhanced performance and efficiency in contrast to Artificial Neural Networks(ANN).Unlike conventional ANNs,which process static images without fully capturing the inherent temporal dynamics,our approach represents the first implementation of SNNs tailored explicitly for agricultural disease classification,integrating an encoding method to convert static RGB plant images into temporally encoded spike trains.Additionally,while Bernoulli trials and standard deep learning architectures likeConvolutionalNeuralNetworks(CNNs)and Fully Connected Neural Networks(FCNNs)have been used extensively,our work is the first to integrate these trials within an SNN framework specifically for agricultural applications.This integration not only refines spike regulation and reduces computational overhead by 30%but also delivers superior accuracy(93.4%)in plant disease classification,marking a significant advancement in precision agriculture that has not been previously explored.Our approach uniquely transforms static plant leaf images into time-dependent representations,leveraging SNNs’intrinsic temporal processing capabilities.This approach aligns with the inherent ability of SNNs to capture dynamic,timedependent patterns,making them more suitable for detecting disease activations in plants than conventional ANNs that treat inputs as static entities.Unlike prior works,our hybrid encoding scheme dynamically adapts to pixel intensity variations(via threshold),enabling robust feature extraction under diverse agricultural conditions.The dual-stage preprocessing customizes the SNN’s behavior in two ways:the encoding threshold is derived from pixel distributions in diseased regions,and Bernoulli trials selectively reduce redundant spikes to ensure energy efficiency on low-power devices.We used a comprehensive dataset of 87,000 RGB images of plant leaves,which included 38 distinct classes of healthy and unhealthy leaves.To train and evaluate three distinct neural network architectures,DeepSNN,SimpleCNN,and SimpleFCNN,the dataset was rigorously preprocessed,including stochastic rotation,horizontal flip,resizing,and normalization.Moreover,by integrating Bernoulli trials to regulate spike generation,ourmethod focuses on extracting themost relevant featureswhile reducingcomputational overhead.Using a comprehensivedatasetof87,000RGB images across 38 classes,we rigorously preprocessed the data and evaluated three architectures:DeepSNN,SimpleCNN,and SimpleFCNN.The results demonstrate that DeepSNN outperforms the other models,achieving superior accuracy,efficient feature extraction,and robust spike management,thereby establishing the potential of SNNs for real-time,energy-efficient agricultural applications.

文摘Quantum optimal control(QOC)relies on accurately modeling system dynamics and is often challenged by unknown or inaccessible interactions in real systems.Taking an unknown collective spin system as an example,this work introduces a machine-learning-based,data-driven scheme to overcome the challenges encountered,with a trained neural network(NN)assuming the role of a surrogate model that captures the system’s dynamics and subsequently enables QOC to be performed on the NN instead of on the real system.The trained NN surrogate proves effective for practical QOC tasks and is further demonstrated to be adaptable to different experimental conditions,remaining robust across varying system sizes and pulse durations.
文摘In this paper,a sparse graph neural network-aided(SGNN-aided)decoder is proposed for improving the decoding performance of polar codes under bursty interference.Firstly,a sparse factor graph is constructed using the encoding characteristic to achieve high-throughput polar decoding.To further improve the decoding performance,a residual gated bipartite graph neural network is designed for updating embedding vectors of heterogeneous nodes based on a bidirectional message passing neural network.This framework exploits gated recurrent units and residual blocks to address the gradient disappearance in deep graph recurrent neural networks.Finally,predictions are generated by feeding the embedding vectors into a readout module.Simulation results show that the proposed decoder is more robust than the existing ones in the presence of bursty interference and exhibits high universality.

文摘This paper presents the variational physics-informed neural network(VPINN)as an effective tool for static structural analyses.One key innovation includes the construction of the neural network solution as an admissible function of the boundary-value problem(BVP),which satisfies all geometrical boundary conditions.We then prove that the admissible neural network solution also satisfies natural boundary conditions,and therefore all boundary conditions,when the stationarity condition of the variational principle is met.Numerical examples are presented to show the advantages and effectiveness of the VPINN in comparison with the physics-informed neural network(PINN).Another contribution of the work is the introduction of Gaussian approximation of the Dirac delta function,which significantly enhances the ability of neural networks to handle singularities,as demonstrated by the examples with concentrated support conditions and loadings.It is hoped that these structural examples are so convincing that engineers would adopt the VPINN method in their structural design practice.

文摘Accurate forecasting of electricity spot prices is crucial for market participants in formulating bidding strategies.However,the extreme volatility of electricity spot prices,influenced by various factors,poses significant challenges for forecasting.To address the data uncertainty of electricity prices and effectively mitigate gradient issues,overfitting,and computational challenges associated with using a single model during forecasting,this paper proposes a framework for forecasting spot market electricity prices by integrating wavelet packet decomposition(WPD)with a hybrid deep neural network.By ensuring accurate data decomposition,the WPD algorithm aids in detecting fluctuating patterns and isolating random noise.The hybrid model integrates temporal convolutional networks(TCN)and long short-term memory(LSTM)networks to enhance feature extraction and improve forecasting performance.Compared to other techniques,it significantly reduces average errors,decreasing mean absolute error(MAE)by 27.3%,root mean square error(RMSE)by 66.9%,and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)by 22.8%.This framework effectively captures the intricate fluctuations present in the time series,resulting in more accurate and reliable predictions.

文摘Grains are the most important food consumed globally,yet their yield can be severely impacted by pest infestations.Addressing this issue,scientists and researchers strive to enhance the yield-to-seed ratio through effective pest detection methods.Traditional approaches often rely on preprocessed datasets,but there is a growing need for solutions that utilize real-time images of pests in their natural habitat.Our study introduces a novel twostep approach to tackle this challenge.Initially,raw images with complex backgrounds are captured.In the subsequent step,feature extraction is performed using both hand-crafted algorithms(Haralick,LBP,and Color Histogram)and modified deep-learning architectures.We propose two models for this purpose:PestNet-EF and PestNet-LF.PestNet-EF uses an early fusion technique to integrate handcrafted and deep learning features,followed by adaptive feature selection methods such as CFS and Recursive Feature Elimination(RFE).PestNet-LF utilizes a late fusion technique,incorporating three additional layers(fully connected,softmax,and classification)to enhance performance.These models were evaluated across 15 classes of pests,including five classes each for rice,corn,and wheat.The performance of our suggested algorithms was tested against the IP102 dataset.Simulation demonstrates that the Pestnet-EF model achieved an accuracy of 96%,and the PestNet-LF model with majority voting achieved the highest accuracy of 94%,while PestNet-LF with the average model attained an accuracy of 92%.Also,the proposed approach was compared with existing methods that rely on hand-crafted and transfer learning techniques,showcasing the effectiveness of our approach in real-time pest detection for improved agricultural yield.
文摘Deep neural networks(DNNs)are effective in solving both forward and inverse problems for nonlinear partial differential equations(PDEs).However,conventional DNNs are not effective in handling problems such as delay differential equations(DDEs)and delay integrodifferential equations(DIDEs)with constant delays,primarily due to their low regularity at delayinduced breaking points.In this paper,a DNN method that combines multi-task learning(MTL)which is proposed to solve both the forward and inverse problems of DIDEs.The core idea of this approach is to divide the original equation into multiple tasks based on the delay,using auxiliary outputs to represent the integral terms,followed by the use of MTL to seamlessly incorporate the properties at the breaking points into the loss function.Furthermore,given the increased training dificulty associated with multiple tasks and outputs,we employ a sequential training scheme to reduce training complexity and provide reference solutions for subsequent tasks.This approach significantly enhances the approximation accuracy of solving DIDEs with DNNs,as demonstrated by comparisons with traditional DNN methods.We validate the effectiveness of this method through several numerical experiments,test various parameter sharing structures in MTL and compare the testing results of these structures.Finally,this method is implemented to solve the inverse problem of nonlinear DIDE and the results show that the unknown parameters of DIDE can be discovered with sparse or noisy data.

文摘Metabolomics covers a wide range of applications in life sciences,biomedicine,and phytology.Data acquisition(to achieve high coverage and efficiency)and analysis(to pursue good classification)are two key segments involved in metabolomics workflows.Various chemometric approaches utilizing either pattern recognition or machine learning have been employed to separate different groups.However,insufficient feature extraction,inappropriate feature selection,overfitting,or underfitting lead to an insufficient capacity to discriminate plants that are often easily confused.Using two ginseng varieties,namely Panax japonicus(PJ)and Panax japonicus var.major(PJvm),containing the similar ginsenosides,we integrated pseudo-targeted metabolomics and deep neural network(DNN)modeling to achieve accurate species differentiation.A pseudo-targeted metabolomics approach was optimized through data acquisition mode,ion pairs generation,comparison between multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)and scheduled MRM(sMRM),and chromatographic elution gradient.In total,1980 ion pairs were monitored within 23 min,allowing for the most comprehensive ginseng metabolome analysis.The established DNN model demonstrated excellent classification performance(in terms of accuracy,precision,recall,F1 score,area under the curve,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC))using the entire metabolome data and feature-selection dataset,exhibiting superior advantages over random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVM),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),and multilayer perceptron(MLP).Moreover,DNNs were advantageous for automated feature learning,nonlinear modeling,adaptability,and generalization.This study confirmed practicality of the established strategy for efficient metabolomics data analysis and reliable classification performance even when using small-volume samples.This established approach holds promise for plant metabolomics and is not limited to ginseng.
文摘The integration of image analysis through deep learning(DL)into rock classification represents a significant leap forward in geological research.While traditional methods remain invaluable for their expertise and historical context,DL offers a powerful complement by enhancing the speed,objectivity,and precision of the classification process.This research explores the significance of image data augmentation techniques in optimizing the performance of convolutional neural networks(CNNs)for geological image analysis,particularly in the classification of igneous,metamorphic,and sedimentary rock types from rock thin section(RTS)images.This study primarily focuses on classic image augmentation techniques and evaluates their impact on model accuracy and precision.Results demonstrate that augmentation techniques like Equalize significantly enhance the model's classification capabilities,achieving an F1-Score of 0.9869 for igneous rocks,0.9884 for metamorphic rocks,and 0.9929 for sedimentary rocks,representing improvements compared to the baseline original results.Moreover,the weighted average F1-Score across all classes and techniques is 0.9886,indicating an enhancement.Conversely,methods like Distort lead to decreased accuracy and F1-Score,with an F1-Score of 0.949 for igneous rocks,0.954 for metamorphic rocks,and 0.9416 for sedimentary rocks,exacerbating the performance compared to the baseline.The study underscores the practicality of image data augmentation in geological image classification and advocates for the adoption of DL methods in this domain for automation and improved results.The findings of this study can benefit various fields,including remote sensing,mineral exploration,and environmental monitoring,by enhancing the accuracy of geological image analysis both for scientific research and industrial applications.
