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

To address this pressing issue, we introduce iGFruit, an innovative model designed to enhance the detection of counterfeit agricultural products by integrating multimodal data processing. Our approach utilizes both image and text data for comprehensive feature extraction, employing advanced backbone models such as Vision Transformer (ViT), Normalizer-Free Network (NFNet), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). These extracted features are fused and processed using a Graph Attention Network (GAT) to capture intricate relationships within the multimodal data. The resulting fused representation is subsequently classified to detect counterfeit products with high precision. We validate the effectiveness of iGFruit through extensive experiments on two datasets: the publicly available MIT-States dataset and the proprietary TLU-States dataset, achieving state-of-the-art performance on both benchmarks. Specifically, iGFruit demonstrates an improvement of over 3% in average accuracy compared to baseline models, all while maintaining computational efficiency during inference. This work underscores the necessity and innovativeness of integrating graph-based feature learning to tackle the critical issue of counterfeit agricultural product detection.展开更多

Although several effective models have been proposed in previous research to address anomaly detection in chemical processes, most fail to adequately capture the spatial-temporal dependencies of multi-source, mixed-frequency information. In this study, an innovative multi-source mixed-frequency information fusion framework based on a spatial-temporal graph attention network (MIF-STGAT) is proposed to investigate the causes of FCC regenerator catalyst loss anomalies for guide onsite operational management, enhancing the long-term stability of FCC unit operations. First, a reconstruction-based dual-encoder-decoder framework is developed to facilitate the acquisition of mixed-frequency features and information fusion during the FCC regenerator catalyst loss process. Subsequently, a graph attention network and a multilayer long short-term memory network with a differential structure are integrated into the reconstruction-based dual-encoder-shared-decoder framework to capture the dynamic fluctuations and critical features associated with anomalies. Experimental results from the Chinese FCC industrial process demonstrate that MIF-STGAT achieves excellent accuracy and interpretability for anomaly detection.展开更多

文摘Due to their high mechanical compliance and excellent biocompatibility,conductive hydrogels exhibit significant potential for applications in flexible electronics.However,as the demand for high sensitivity,superior mechanical properties,and strong adhesion performance continues to grow,many conventional fabrication methods remain complex and costly.Herein,we propose a simple and efficient strategy to construct an entangled network hydrogel through a liquid-metal-induced cross-linking reaction,hydrogel demonstrates outstanding properties,including exceptional stretchability(1643%),high tensile strength(366.54 kPa),toughness(350.2 kJ m^(−3)),and relatively low mechanical hysteresis.The hydrogel exhibits long-term stable reusable adhesion(104 kPa),enabling conformal and stable adhesion to human skin.This capability allows it to effectively capture high-quality epidermal electrophysiological signals with high signal-to-noise ratio(25.2 dB)and low impedance(310 ohms).Furthermore,by integrating advanced machine learning algorithms,achieving an attention classification accuracy of 91.38%,which will significantly impact fields like education,healthcare,and artificial intelligence.

文摘Pest detection techniques are helpful in reducing the frequency and scale of pest outbreaks;however,their application in the actual agricultural production process is still challenging owing to the problems of interspecies similarity,multi-scale,and background complexity of pests.To address these problems,this study proposes an FD-YOLO pest target detection model.The FD-YOLO model uses a Fully Connected Feature Pyramid Network(FC-FPN)instead of a PANet in the neck,which can adaptively fuse multi-scale information so that the model can retain small-scale target features in the deep layer,enhance large-scale target features in the shallow layer,and enhance the multiplexing of effective features.A dual self-attention module(DSA)is then embedded in the C3 module of the neck,which captures the dependencies between the information in both spatial and channel dimensions,effectively enhancing global features.We selected 16 types of pests that widely damage field crops in the IP102 pest dataset,which were used as our dataset after data supplementation and enhancement.The experimental results showed that FD-YOLO’s mAP@0.5 improved by 6.8%compared to YOLOv5,reaching 82.6%and 19.1%–5%better than other state-of-the-art models.This method provides an effective new approach for detecting similar or multiscale pests in field crops.

文摘Abnormal network traffic, as a frequent security risk, requires a series of techniques to categorize and detect it. 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.
文摘Counterfeit agricultural products pose a significant challenge to global food security and economic stability, necessitating advanced detection mechanisms to ensure authenticity and quality. To address this pressing issue, we introduce iGFruit, an innovative model designed to enhance the detection of counterfeit agricultural products by integrating multimodal data processing. Our approach utilizes both image and text data for comprehensive feature extraction, employing advanced backbone models such as Vision Transformer (ViT), Normalizer-Free Network (NFNet), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). These extracted features are fused and processed using a Graph Attention Network (GAT) to capture intricate relationships within the multimodal data. The resulting fused representation is subsequently classified to detect counterfeit products with high precision. We validate the effectiveness of iGFruit through extensive experiments on two datasets: the publicly available MIT-States dataset and the proprietary TLU-States dataset, achieving state-of-the-art performance on both benchmarks. Specifically, iGFruit demonstrates an improvement of over 3% in average accuracy compared to baseline models, all while maintaining computational efficiency during inference. This work underscores the necessity and innovativeness of integrating graph-based feature learning to tackle the critical issue of counterfeit agricultural product detection.

文摘Landslide hazard detection is a prevalent problem in remote sensing studies,particularly with the technological advancement of computer vision.With the continuous and exceptional growth of the computational environment,the manual and partially automated procedure of landslide detection from remotely sensed images has shifted toward automatic methods with deep learning.Furthermore,attention models,driven by human visual procedures,have become vital in natural hazard-related studies.Hence,this paper proposes an enhanced YOLOv5(You Only Look Once version 5)network for improved satellite-based landslide detection,embedded with two popular attention modules:CBAM(Convolutional Block Attention Module)and ECA(Efficient Channel Attention).These attention mechanisms are incorporated into the backbone and neck of the YOLOv5 architecture,distinctly,and evaluated across three YOLOv5 variants:nano(n),small(s),and medium(m).The experiments use opensource satellite images from three distinct regions with complex terrain.The standard metrics,including F-score,precision,recall,and mean average precision(mAP),are computed for quantitative assessment.The YOLOv5n+CBAM demonstrates the most optimal results with an F-score of 77.2%,confirming its effectiveness.The suggested attention-driven architecture augments detection accuracy,supporting post-landslide event assessment and recovery.

文摘Anomaly fluctuations in operating conditions, catalyst wear, crushing, and the deterioration of feedstock properties in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units can disrupt the normal circulating fluidization process of the catalyst. Although several effective models have been proposed in previous research to address anomaly detection in chemical processes, most fail to adequately capture the spatial-temporal dependencies of multi-source, mixed-frequency information. In this study, an innovative multi-source mixed-frequency information fusion framework based on a spatial-temporal graph attention network (MIF-STGAT) is proposed to investigate the causes of FCC regenerator catalyst loss anomalies for guide onsite operational management, enhancing the long-term stability of FCC unit operations. First, a reconstruction-based dual-encoder-decoder framework is developed to facilitate the acquisition of mixed-frequency features and information fusion during the FCC regenerator catalyst loss process. Subsequently, a graph attention network and a multilayer long short-term memory network with a differential structure are integrated into the reconstruction-based dual-encoder-shared-decoder framework to capture the dynamic fluctuations and critical features associated with anomalies. Experimental results from the Chinese FCC industrial process demonstrate that MIF-STGAT achieves excellent accuracy and interpretability for anomaly detection.

文摘Multimodal image fusion plays an important role in image analysis and applications.Multimodal medical image fusion helps to combine contrast features from two or more input imaging modalities to represent fused information in a single image.One of the critical clinical applications of medical image fusion is to fuse anatomical and functional modalities for rapid diagnosis of malignant tissues.This paper proposes a multimodal medical image fusion network(MMIF-Net)based on multiscale hybrid attention.The method first decomposes the original image to obtain the low-rank and significant parts.Then,to utilize the features at different scales,we add amultiscalemechanism that uses three filters of different sizes to extract the features in the encoded network.Also,a hybrid attention module is introduced to obtain more image details.Finally,the fused images are reconstructed by decoding the network.We conducted experiments with clinical images from brain computed tomography/magnetic resonance.The experimental results show that the multimodal medical image fusion network method based on multiscale hybrid attention works better than other advanced fusion methods.

文摘Pedestrian trajectory prediction is pivotal and challenging in applications such as autonomous driving,social robotics,and intelligent surveillance systems.Pedestrian trajectory is governed not only by individual intent but also by interactions with surrounding agents.These interactions are critical to trajectory prediction accuracy.While prior studies have employed Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)and Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)to model such interactions,these methods fail to distinguish varying influence levels among neighboring pedestrians.To address this,we propose a novel model based on a bidirectional graph attention network and spatio-temporal graphs to capture dynamic interactions.Specifically,we construct temporal and spatial graphs encoding the sequential evolution and spatial proximity among pedestrians.These features are then fused and processed by the Bidirectional Graph Attention Network(Bi-GAT),which models the bidirectional interactions between the target pedestrian and its neighbors.The model computes node attention weights(i.e.,similarity scores)to differentially aggregate neighbor information,enabling fine-grained interaction representations.Extensive experiments conducted on two widely used pedestrian trajectory prediction benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing state-of-theartmethods regarding Average Displacement Error(ADE)and Final Displacement Error(FDE),highlighting its strong prediction accuracy and generalization capability.

文摘Tropical cyclones(TCs)are complex and powerful weather systems,and accurately forecasting their path,structure,and intensity remains a critical focus and challenge in meteorological research.In this paper,we propose an Attention Spatio-Temporal predictive Generative Adversarial Network(AST-GAN)model for predicting the temporal and spatial distribution of TCs.The model forecasts the spatial distribution of TC wind speeds for the next 15 hours at 3-hour intervals,emphasizing the cyclone's center,high wind-speed areas,and its asymmetric structure.To effectively capture spatiotemporal feature transfer at different time steps,we employ a channel attention mechanism for feature selection,enhancing model performance and reducing parameter redundancy.We utilized High-Resolution Weather Research and Forecasting(HWRF)data to train our model,allowing it to assimilate a wide range of TC motion patterns.The model is versatile and can be applied to various complex scenarios,such as multiple TCs moving simultaneously or TCs approaching landfall.Our proposed model demonstrates superior forecasting performance,achieving a root-mean-square error(RMSE)of 0.71 m s^(-1)for overall wind speed and 2.74 m s^(-1)for maximum wind speed when benchmarked against ground truth data from HWRF.Furthermore,the model underwent optimization and independent testing using ERA5reanalysis data,showcasing its stability and scalability.After fine-tuning on the ERA5 dataset,the model achieved an RMSE of 1.33 m s^(-1)for wind speed and 1.75 m s^(-1)for maximum wind speed.The AST-GAN model outperforms other state-of-the-art models in RMSE on both the HWRF and ERA5 datasets,maintaining its superior performance and demonstrating its effectiveness for spatiotemporal prediction of TCs.

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It is known that long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)play vital roles in biological processes and contribute to the progression,development,and treatment of various diseases.Obviously,understanding associations between diseases and lncRNAs significantly enhances our ability to interpret disease mechanisms.Nevertheless,the process of determining lncRNA-disease associations is costly,labor-intensive,and time-consuming.Hence,it is expected to foster computational strategies to uncover lncRNA-disease relationships for further verification to save time and resources.In this study,a collaborative filtering and graph attention network-based LncRNA-Disease Association(CFGANLDA)method was nominated to expose potential lncRNA-disease associations.First,it takes into account the advantages of using biological information from multiple sources.Next,it uses a collaborative filtering technique in order to address the sparse data problem.It also employs a graph attention network to reinforce both linear and non-linear features of the associations to advance prediction performance.The computational results indicate that CFGANLDA gains better prediction performance compared to other state-of-the-art approaches.The CFGANLDA’s area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)metric is 0.9835,whereas its area under the precision-recall curve(AUPR)metric is 0.9822.Statistical analysis using 10-fold cross-validation experiments proves that these metrics are significant.Furthermore,three case studies on prostate,liver,and stomach cancers attest to the validity of CFGANLDA performance.As a result,CFGANLDA method proves to be a valued tool for lncRNA-disease association prediction.

文摘Micro-nano Earth Observation Satellite(MEOS)constellation has the advantages of low construction cost,short revisit cycle,and high functional density,which is considered a promising solution for serving rapidly growing observation demands.The observation Scheduling Problem in the MEOS constellation(MEOSSP)is a challenging issue due to the large number of satellites and tasks,as well as complex observation constraints.To address the large-scale and complicated MEOSSP,we develop a Two-Stage Scheduling Algorithm based on the Pointer Network with Attention mechanism(TSSA-PNA).In TSSA-PNA,the MEOS observation scheduling is decomposed into a task allocation stage and a single-MEOS scheduling stage.In the task allocation stage,an adaptive task allocation algorithm with four problem-specific allocation operators is proposed to reallocate the unscheduled tasks to new MEOSs.Regarding the single-MEOS scheduling stage,we design a pointer network based on the encoder-decoder architecture to learn the optimal singleMEOS scheduling solution and introduce the attention mechanism into the encoder to improve the learning efficiency.The Pointer Network with Attention mechanism(PNA)can generate the single-MEOS scheduling solution quickly in an end-to-end manner.These two decomposed stages are performed iteratively to search for the solution with high profit.A greedy local search algorithm is developed to improve the profits further.The performance of the PNA and TSSA-PNA on singleMEOS and multi-MEOS scheduling problems are evaluated in the experiments.The experimental results demonstrate that PNA can obtain the approximate solution for the single-MEOS scheduling problem in a short time.Besides,the TSSA-PNA can achieve higher observation profits than the existing scheduling algorithms within the acceptable computational time for the large-scale MEOS scheduling problem.
