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

The conservation objectives of protected areas have shifted from a narrow emphasis on biodiversity to encompass broader considerations such as ecosystem stability, community resilience to climate change, and enhancement of human well-being. Given these multifaceted objectives, it is imperative to judiciously allocate resources to effectively conserve biodiversity by identifying strategically significant areas for conservation, particularly for mountainous areas. In this study, we evaluated the representativeness of the protected area network in the Qin ling Mountains concerning species diversity, ecosystem services, climate stability and ecological stability. The results indicate that some of the ecological indicators are spatially correlated with topographic gradient effects. The conservation priority areas predominantly lie in the northern foothills, the southeastern, and southwestern parts of the Qinling Mountain with areas concentrated at altitudes between 1,500-2,000 m and slopes between 40°-50° as hotspots. The conservation priority areas identified through the framework of inclusive conservation optimization account for 22.9 % of the Qinling Mountain. Existing protected areas comprise only 6.1 % of the Qinling Mountain and 13.18 % of the conservation priority areas. This will play an important role in achiev ing sustainable development in the region and in meeting the post-2020 biodiversity target. The framework can advance the different objectives of achieving a quadruple win and can also be extended to other regions.展开更多

Our main focus in this paper is on the social sciences. We propose a quadrant of different cultural–scientific stances from which the study of social phenomena is possible, based on the emic–etic dimension pertaining to the study of culture from contrasting perspectives. Although the emic–etic distinction is normal y applied in fields within the science of culture, it is proposed here that the distinction is in some ways germane to scientific practice in general, making it amenable for use in a culture of science(CoS) programme. The four perspectives that emerge from the quadrant are illustrated using exemplars. Different aspects of CoS—that is, scientific practice, scientific conventions and representations of science—are then discussed in further detail, including in two tables illustrating points of convergence and divergence between the East and West when it comes to different aspects of CoS.展开更多

文摘Considering that the algorithm accuracy of the traditional sparse representation models is not high under the influence of multiple complex environmental factors,this study focuses on the improvement of feature extraction and model construction.Firstly,the convolutional neural network(CNN)features of the face are extracted by the trained deep learning network.Next,the steady-state and dynamic classifiers for face recognition are constructed based on the CNN features and Haar features respectively,with two-stage sparse representation introduced in the process of constructing the steady-state classifier and the feature templates with high reliability are dynamically selected as alternative templates from the sparse representation template dictionary constructed using the CNN features.Finally,the results of face recognition are given based on the classification results of the steady-state classifier and the dynamic classifier together.Based on this,the feature weights of the steady-state classifier template are adjusted in real time and the dictionary set is dynamically updated to reduce the probability of irrelevant features entering the dictionary set.The average recognition accuracy of this method is 94.45%on the CMU PIE face database and 96.58%on the AR face database,which is significantly improved compared with that of the traditional face recognition methods.

文摘Spatial-temporal traffic prediction technology is crucial for network planning,resource allocation optimizing,and user experience improving.With the development of virtual network operators,multi-operator collaborations,and edge computing,spatial-temporal traffic data has taken on a distributed nature.Consequently,noncentralized spatial-temporal traffic prediction solutions have emerged as a recent research focus.Currently,the majority of research typically adopts federated learning methods to train traffic prediction models distributed on each base station.This method reduces additional burden on communication systems.However,this method has a drawback:it cannot handle irregular traffic data.Due to unstable wireless network environments,device failures,insufficient storage resources,etc.,data missing inevitably occurs during the process of collecting traffic data.This results in the irregular nature of distributed traffic data.Yet,commonly used traffic prediction models such as Recurrent Neural Networks(RNN)and Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)typically assume that the data is complete and regular.To address the challenge of handling irregular traffic data,this paper transforms irregular traffic prediction into problems of estimating latent variables and generating future traffic.To solve the aforementioned problems,this paper introduces split learning to design a structured distributed learning framework.The framework comprises a Global-level Spatial structure mining Model(GSM)and several Nodelevel Generative Models(NGMs).NGM and GSM represent Seq2Seq models deployed on the base station and graph neural network models deployed on the cloud or central controller.Firstly,the time embedding layer in NGM establishes the mapping relationship between irregular traffic data and regular latent temporal feature variables.Secondly,GSM collects statistical feature parameters of latent temporal feature variables from various nodes and executes graph embedding for spatial-temporal traffic data.Finally,NGM generates future traffic based on latent temporal and spatial feature variables.The introduction of the time attention mechanism enhances the framework’s capability to handle irregular traffic data.Graph attention network introduces spatially correlated base station traffic feature information into local traffic prediction,which compensates for missing information in local irregular traffic data.The proposed framework effectively addresses the distributed prediction issues of irregular traffic data.By testing on real world datasets,the proposed framework improves traffic prediction accuracy by 35%compared to other commonly used distributed traffic prediction methods.

文摘In recent years,the transformer model has demonstrated excellent performance in computer vision(CV)applications.The key lies in its guided representation attention mechanism,which uses dot-product to depict complex feature relationships,and comprehensively understands the context semantics to obtain feature weights.Then feature enhancement is implemented by guiding the target matrix through feature weights.However,the uncertainty and inconsistency of features are widespread that prone to confusion in the description of relationships within dot-product attention mechanisms.To solve this problem,this paper proposed a novel approximate-guided representation learning methodology for vision transformer.The kernelised matroids fuzzy rough set is defined,wherein the closed sets inside kernelised fuzzy information granules of matroids structures can constitute the subspace of lower approximation in rough sets.Thus,the kernel relation is employed to characterise image feature granules that will be reconstructed according to the independent set in matroids theory.Then,according to the characteristics of the closed set within matroids,the feature attention weight is formed by using the lower approximation to realise the approximate guidance of features.The approximate-guided representation mechanism can be flexibly deployed as a plug-and-play component in a wide range of CV tasks.Extensive empirical results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the majority of advanced prevalent models,especially in terms of robustness.

文摘Clustering is a pivotal data analysis method for deciphering the charge transport properties of single molecules in break junction experiments.However,given the high dimensionality and variability of the data,feature extraction remains a bottleneck in the development of efficient clustering methods.In this regard,extensive research over the past two decades has focused on feature engineering and dimensionality reduction in break junction conductance.However,extracting highly relevant features without expert knowledge remains an unresolved challenge.To address this issue,we propose a deep clustering method driven by task-oriented representation learning(CTRL)in which the clustering module serves as a guide for the representation learning(RepL)module.First,we determine an optimal autoencoder(AE)structure through a neural architecture search(NAS)to ensure efficient RepL;second,the RepL process is guided by a joint training strategy that combines AE reconstruction loss with the clustering objective.The results demonstrate that CTRL achieves excellent performance on both the generated and experimental data.Further inspection of the RepL step reveals that joint training robustly learns more compact features than the unconstrained AE or traditional dimensionality reduction methods,significantly reducing misclustering possibilities.Our method provides a general end-to-end automatic clustering solution for analyzing single-molecule break junction data.

文摘Background Three-dimensional(3D)shape representation using mesh data is essential in various applications,such as virtual reality and simulation technologies.Current methods for extracting features from mesh edges or faces struggle with complex 3D models because edge-based approaches miss global contexts and face-based methods overlook variations in adjacent areas,which affects the overall precision.To address these issues,we propose the Feature Discrimination and Context Propagation Network(FDCPNet),which is a novel approach that synergistically integrates local and global features in mesh datasets.Methods FDCPNet is composed of two modules:(1)the Feature Discrimination Module,which employs an attention mechanism to enhance the identification of key local features,and(2)the Context Propagation Module,which enriches key local features by integrating global contextual information,thereby facilitating a more detailed and comprehensive representation of crucial areas within the mesh model.Results Experiments on popular datasets validated the effectiveness of FDCPNet,showing an improvement in the classification accuracy over the baseline MeshNet.Furthermore,even with reduced mesh face numbers and limited training data,FDCPNet achieved promising results,demonstrating its robustness in scenarios of variable complexity.
文摘This paper considers the notions of common sense and interobjectivity to articulate an understanding of how different cultural realities give rise to different construals of scientific phenomena across distinct cultures. Our main focus in this paper is on the social sciences. We propose a quadrant of different cultural–scientific stances from which the study of social phenomena is possible, based on the emic–etic dimension pertaining to the study of culture from contrasting perspectives. Although the emic–etic distinction is normal y applied in fields within the science of culture, it is proposed here that the distinction is in some ways germane to scientific practice in general, making it amenable for use in a culture of science(CoS) programme. The four perspectives that emerge from the quadrant are illustrated using exemplars. Different aspects of CoS—that is, scientific practice, scientific conventions and representations of science—are then discussed in further detail, including in two tables illustrating points of convergence and divergence between the East and West when it comes to different aspects of CoS.

文摘Deep forgery detection technologies are crucial for image and video recognition tasks,with their performance heavily reliant on the features extracted from both real and fake images.However,most existing methods primarily focus on spatial domain features,which limits their accuracy.To address this limitation,we propose an adaptive dual-domain feature representation method for enhanced deep forgery detection.Specifically,an adaptive region dynamic convolution module is established to efficiently extract facial features from the spatial domain.Then,we introduce an adaptive frequency dynamic filter to capture effective frequency domain features.By fusing both spatial and frequency domain features,our approach significantly improves the accuracy of classifying real and fake facial images.Finally,experimental results on three real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our dual-domain feature representation method,which substantially improves classification precision.

文摘Sparse representation has been highly successful in various tasks related to image processing and computer vision.For ancient mural image inpainting,traditional group sparse representation models usually lead to structure blur and line discontinuity due to the construction of similarity group solely based on the Euclidean distance and the randomness of dictionary initialization.To address the aforementioned issues,an improved curvature Gabor transform and group sparse representation(CGabor-GSR)model for ancient Dunhuang mural inpainting is proposed.To begin with,mutual information is introduced to weight the Euclidean distance,and then the weighted Euclidean distance acts as a new standard of similarity group.Subsequently,to mitigate the randomness of dictionary initialization,a curvature Gabor wavelet transform is proposed to extract the features and initialize the feature dictionary with dimension reduction based on principal component analysis(PCA).Ultimately,singular value decomposition(SVD)and split Bregman iteration(SBI)can be used to resolve the CGabor-GSR model to reconstruct the mural images.Experimental results on Dunhuang mural inpainting demonstrate tha the proposed CGabor-GSR achieves a better performance than compared algorithms in both objective and visual evaluation.

文摘Research indicates that microbe activity within the human body significantly influences health by being closely linked to various diseases.Accurately predicting microbe-disease interactions(MDIs)offers critical insights for disease intervention and pharmaceutical research.Current advanced AI-based technologies automatically generate robust representations of microbes and diseases,enabling effective MDI predictions.However,these models continue to face significant challenges.A major issue is their reliance on complex feature extractors and classifiers,which substantially diminishes the models’generalizability.To address this,we introduce a novel graph autoencoder framework that utilizes decoupled representation learning and multi-scale information fusion strategies to efficiently infer potential MDIs.Initially,we randomly mask portions of the input microbe-disease graph based on Bernoulli distribution to boost self-supervised training and minimize noise-related performance degradation.Secondly,we employ decoupled representation learning technology,compelling the graph neural network(GNN)to independently learn the weights for each feature subspace,thus enhancing its expressive power.Finally,we implement multi-scale information fusion technology to amalgamate the multi-layer outputs of GNN,reducing information loss due to occlusion.Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our model significantly surpasses existing top MDI prediction models.This indicates that our model can accurately predict unknown MDIs and is likely to aid in disease discovery and precision pharmaceutical research.Code and data are accessible at:https://github.com/shmildsj/MDI-IFDRL.

文摘Phase classification has a clear guiding significance for the design of high entropy alloys.For mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive classifications,the composition descriptors,commonly used physical parameter descriptors,elemental-property descriptors,and descriptors extracted from the periodic table representation(PTR)by the convolutional neural network were collected.Appropriate selection among features with rich information is helpful for phase classification.Based on random forest,the accuracy of the four-label classification and balanced accuracy of the five-label classification were improved to be 0.907 and 0.876,respectively.The roles of the four important features were summarized by interpretability analysis,and a new important feature was found.The model extrapolation ability and the influence of Mo were demonstrated by phase prediction in(CoFeNiMn)_(1-x)Mo_(x).The phase information is helpful for the hardness prediction,the classification results were coupled with the PTR of hardness data,and the prediction error(the root mean square error)was reduced to 56.69.
