Accurate multi-step traffic flow prediction plays an important role in improving the operational efficiency of the traffic network. Since traffic flow data has complex spatio-temporal correlation and non-linearity, existing prediction methods are mainly accomplished through a combination of a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and a recurrent neural network. The combination strategy has an excellent performance in traffic prediction tasks. However, multi-step prediction error accumulates with the predicted step size. Some scholars use multiple sampling sequences to achieve more accurate prediction results. But it requires high hardware conditions and multiplied training time. Considering the spatiotemporal correlation of traffic flow and influence of external factors, we propose an Attention Based Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network considering External Factors (ABSTGCN-EF) for multi-step traffic flow prediction. This model models the traffic flow as diffusion on a digraph and extracts the spatial characteristics of traffic flow through GCN. We add meaningful time-slots attention to the encoder-decoder to form an Attention Encoder Network (AEN) to handle temporal correlation. The attention vector is used as a competitive choice to draw the correlation between predicted states and historical states. We considered the impact of three external factors (daytime, weekdays, and traffic accident markers) on the traffic flow prediction tasks. Experiments on two public data sets show that it makes sense to consider external factors. The prediction performance of our ABSTGCN-EF model achieves 7.2%–8.7% higher than the state-of-the-art baselines.展开更多

The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.展开更多

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A dynamic graph(DG)is adopted to portray the evolving interplay between nodes in real-world scenarios prevalently.A high-order graph convolutional network(HGCN)is equipped with the ability to represent a DG by the spatial-temporal message passing mechanism built on tensor product.Concretely,an HGCN utilizes the discrete Fourier transform(DFT)to implement temporal message passing and then employs face-wise product to realize spatial message passing.However,DFT is only a special case of assorted time-frequency transforms,which considers the complex temporal patterns partially,thereby resulting in an inaccurate temporal message passing possibly.To address this issue,this study proposes six advanced time-frequency transform-incorporated HGCNs(TF-HGCNs)with discrete Fourier,discrete Hartley,discrete cosine,Haar wavelet,Walsh Hadamard,and slant transforms.In addition,a potent ensemble is built regarding the proposed six TF-HGCNs as the bases.Finally,the corresponding theoretical proof is presented.Empirical studies on six DG datasets demonstrate that owing to diverse time-frequency transforms,the proposed six TF-HGCNs significantly outperform state-of-the-art models in addressing the task of link weight estimation.Moreover,their ensemble outstrips each base's performance.

文摘This study proposes a novel forecasting framework that simultaneously captures the strong periodicity and irregular meteorological fluctuations inherent in solar radiation time series.Existing approaches typically define inter-regional correlations using either simple correlation coefficients or distance-based measures when applying spatio-temporal graph neural networks(STGNNs).However,such definitions are prone to generating spurious correlations due to the dominance of periodic structures.To address this limitation,we adopt the Elastic-Band Transform(EBT)to decompose solar radiation into periodic and amplitude-modulated components,which are then modeled independently with separate graph neural networks.The periodic component,characterized by strong nationwide correlations,is learned with a relatively simple architecture,whereas the amplitude-modulated component is modeled with more complex STGNNs that capture climatological similarities between regions.The predictions from the two components are subsequently recombined to yield final forecasts that integrate both periodic patterns and aperiodic variability.The proposed framework is validated with multiple STGNN architectures,and experimental results demonstrate improved predictive accuracy and interpretability compared to conventional methods.
文摘Accurate remaining useful life(RUL)estimation is crucial for the maintenance of complex systems,e.g.aircraft engines.Thanks to the popularity of sensors,data-driven methods arewidely used to evaluate RULs of systems especially deep learning approaches.Though remarkably capable at non-linear modeling,deep learning-based prognostics techniques lack powerful spatio-temporal learning ability.For instance,convolutional neural networks are restricted to only process grid structures rather than general domains,recurrent neural networks neglect spatial relations between sensors and suffer from long-term dependency learning.To solve these problems,we construct a graph structure on sensor network with Pearson Correlation Coefficients among sensors and propose amethod for combining the power of graph convolutional network on spatial learning and sequence learning success of temporal convolutional networks.We conduct the proposed method on aircraft engine dataset provided by NASA.The experimental results demonstrate that the established graph structure is appropriate and the proposed approach can model spatio-temporal dependency accurately as well as improve the performance of RUL estimation.

文摘Long-term traffic flow prediction is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems within intelligent networks,requiring predictive models that balance accuracy with low-latency and lightweight computation to optimize trafficmanagement and enhance urban mobility and sustainability.However,traditional predictivemodels struggle to capture long-term temporal dependencies and are computationally intensive,limiting their practicality in real-time.Moreover,many approaches overlook the periodic characteristics inherent in traffic data,further impacting performance.To address these challenges,we introduce ST-MambaGCN,a State-Space-Based Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Network.Unlike conventionalmodels,ST-MambaGCN replaces the temporal attention layer withMamba,a state-space model that efficiently captures long-term dependencies with near-linear computational complexity.The model combines Chebyshev polynomial-based graph convolutional networks(GCN)to explore spatial correlations.Additionally,we incorporate a multi-temporal feature capture mechanism,where the final integrated features are generated through the Hadamard product based on learnable parameters.This mechanism explicitly models shortterm,daily,and weekly traffic patterns to enhance the network’s awareness of traffic periodicity.Extensive experiments on the PeMS04 and PeMS08 datasets demonstrate that ST-MambaGCN significantly outperforms existing benchmarks,offering substantial improvements in both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency for long-term traffic flow prediction.

文摘With the emphasis on user privacy and communication security, encrypted traffic has increased dramatically, which brings great challenges to traffic classification. The classification method of encrypted traffic based on GNN can deal with encrypted traffic well. However, existing GNN-based approaches ignore the relationship between client or server packets. In this paper, we design a network traffic topology based on GCN, called Flow Mapping Graph (FMG). FMG establishes sequential edges between vertexes by the arrival order of packets and establishes jump-order edges between vertexes by connecting packets in different bursts with the same direction. It not only reflects the time characteristics of the packet but also strengthens the relationship between the client or server packets. According to FMG, a Traffic Mapping Classification model (TMC-GCN) is designed, which can automatically capture and learn the characteristics and structure information of the top vertex in FMG. The TMC-GCN model is used to classify the encrypted traffic. The encryption stream classification problem is transformed into a graph classification problem, which can effectively deal with data from different data sources and application scenarios. By comparing the performance of TMC-GCN with other classical models in four public datasets, including CICIOT2023, ISCXVPN2016, CICAAGM2017, and GraphDapp, the effectiveness of the FMG algorithm is verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the TMC-GCN model is 96.13%, the recall rate is 95.04%, and the F1 rate is 94.54%.

文摘In recent years,gait-based emotion recognition has been widely applied in the field of computer vision.However,existing gait emotion recognition methods typically rely on complete human skeleton data,and their accuracy significantly declines when the data is occluded.To enhance the accuracy of gait emotion recognition under occlusion,this paper proposes a Multi-scale Suppression Graph ConvolutionalNetwork(MS-GCN).TheMS-GCN consists of three main components:Joint Interpolation Module(JI Moudle),Multi-scale Temporal Convolution Network(MS-TCN),and Suppression Graph Convolutional Network(SGCN).The JI Module completes the spatially occluded skeletal joints using the(K-Nearest Neighbors)KNN interpolation method.The MS-TCN employs convolutional kernels of various sizes to comprehensively capture the emotional information embedded in the gait,compensating for the temporal occlusion of gait information.The SGCN extracts more non-prominent human gait features by suppressing the extraction of key body part features,thereby reducing the negative impact of occlusion on emotion recognition results.The proposed method is evaluated on two comprehensive datasets:Emotion-Gait,containing 4227 real gaits from sources like BML,ICT-Pollick,and ELMD,and 1000 synthetic gaits generated using STEP-Gen technology,and ELMB,consisting of 3924 gaits,with 1835 labeled with emotions such as“Happy,”“Sad,”“Angry,”and“Neutral.”On the standard datasets Emotion-Gait and ELMB,the proposed method achieved accuracies of 0.900 and 0.896,respectively,attaining performance comparable to other state-ofthe-artmethods.Furthermore,on occlusion datasets,the proposedmethod significantly mitigates the performance degradation caused by occlusion compared to other methods,the accuracy is significantly higher than that of other methods.

文摘Traffic flow prediction is a crucial element of intelligent transportation systems.However,accu-rate traffic flow prediction is quite challenging because of its highly nonlinear,complex,and dynam-ic characteristics.To address the difficulties in simultaneously capturing local and global dynamic spatiotemporal correlations in traffic flow,as well as the high time complexity of existing models,a multi-head flow attention-based local-global dynamic hypergraph convolution(MFA-LGDHC)pre-diction model is proposed.which consists of multi-head flow attention(MHFA)mechanism,graph convolution network(GCN),and local-global dynamic hypergraph convolution(LGHC).MHFA is utilized to extract the time dependency of traffic flow and reduce the time complexity of the model.GCN is employed to catch the spatial dependency of traffic flow.LGHC utilizes down-sampling con-volution and isometric convolution to capture the local and global spatial dependencies of traffic flow.And dynamic hypergraph convolution is used to model the dynamic higher-order relationships of the traffic road network.Experimental results indicate that the MFA-LGDHC model outperforms current popular baseline models and exhibits good prediction performance.
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Feature fusion is an important technique in medical image classification that can improve diagnostic accuracy by integrating complementary information from multiple sources.Recently,Deep Learning(DL)has been widely used in pulmonary disease diagnosis,such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.However,traditional feature fusion methods often suffer from feature disparity,information loss,redundancy,and increased complexity,hindering the further extension of DL algorithms.To solve this problem,we propose a Graph-Convolution Fusion Network with Self-Supervised Feature Alignment(Self-FAGCFN)to address the limitations of traditional feature fusion methods in deep learning-based medical image classification for respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.The network integrates Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)for robust feature extraction from two-dimensional grid structures and Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)within a Graph Neural Network branch to capture features based on graph structure,focusing on significant node representations.Additionally,an Attention-Embedding Ensemble Block is included to capture critical features from GCN outputs.To ensure effective feature alignment between pre-and post-fusion stages,we introduce a feature alignment loss that minimizes disparities.Moreover,to address the limitations of proposed methods,such as inappropriate centroid discrepancies during feature alignment and class imbalance in the dataset,we develop a Feature-Centroid Fusion(FCF)strategy and a Multi-Level Feature-Centroid Update(MLFCU)algorithm,respectively.Extensive experiments on public datasets LungVision and Chest-Xray demonstrate that the Self-FAGCFN model significantly outperforms existing methods in diagnosing pneumonia and tuberculosis,highlighting its potential for practical medical applications.

文摘Machine learning algorithms are widely used to interpret well logging data.To enhance the algorithms'robustness,shuffling the well logging data is an unavoidable feature engineering before training models.However,latent information stored between different well logging types and depth is destroyed during the shuffle.To investigate the influence of latent information,this study implements graph convolution networks(GCNs),long-short temporal memory models,recurrent neural networks,temporal convolution networks,and two artificial neural networks to predict the microbial lithology in the fourth member of the Dengying Formation,Moxi gas field,central Sichuan Basin.Results indicate that the GCN model outperforms other models.The accuracy,F1-score,and area under curve of the GCN model are 0.90,0.90,and 0.95,respectively.Experimental results indicate that the time-series data facilitates lithology prediction and helps determine lithological fluctuations in the vertical direction.All types of logs from the spectral in the GCN model and also facilitates lithology identification.Only on condition combined with latent information,the GCN model reaches excellent microbialite classification resolution at the centimeter scale.Ultimately,the two actual cases show tricks for using GCN models to predict potential microbialite in other formations and areas,proving that the GCN model can be adopted in the industry.

文摘Skeleton-based human action recognition focuses on identifying actions from dynamic skeletal data,which contains both temporal and spatial characteristics.However,this approach faces chal-lenges such as viewpoint variations,low recognition accuracy,and high model complexity.Skeleton-based graph convolutional network(GCN)generally outperform other deep learning methods in rec-ognition accuracy.However,they often underutilize temporal features and suffer from high model complexity,leading to increased training and validation costs,especially on large-scale datasets.This paper proposes a dual-channel graph convolutional network with multi-order information fusion(DM-AGCN)for human action recognition.The network integrates high frame rate skeleton chan-nels to capture action dynamics and low frame rate channels to preserve static semantic information,effectively balancing temporal and spatial features.This dual-channel architecture allows for separate processing of temporal and spatial information.Additionally,DM-AGCN extracts joint keypoints and bidirectional bone vectors from skeleton sequences,and employs a three-stream graph convolu-tional structure to extract features that describe human movement.Experimental results on the NTU-RGB+D dataset demonstrate that DM-AGCN achieves an accuracy of 89.4%on the X-Sub and 95.8%on the X-View,while reducing model complexity to 3.68 GFLOPs(Giga Floating-point Oper-ations Per Second).On the Kinetics-Skeleton dataset,the model achieves a Top-1 accuracy of 37.2%and a Top-5 accuracy of 60.3%,further validating its effectiveness across different benchmarks.

文摘Recommendation systems(RSs)are crucial in personalizing user experiences in digital environments by suggesting relevant content or items.Collaborative filtering(CF)is a widely used personalization technique that leverages user-item interactions to generate recommendations.However,it struggles with challenges like the cold-start problem,scalability issues,and data sparsity.To address these limitations,we develop a Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)model that captures the complex network of interactions between users and items,identifying subtle patterns that traditional methods may overlook.We integrate this GCNs model into a federated learning(FL)framework,enabling themodel to learn fromdecentralized datasets.This not only significantly enhances user privacy—a significant improvement over conventionalmodels but also reassures users about the safety of their data.Additionally,by securely incorporating demographic information,our approach further personalizes recommendations and mitigates the coldstart issue without compromising user data.We validate our RSs model using the openMovieLens dataset and evaluate its performance across six key metrics:Precision,Recall,Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve(ROC-AUC),F1 Score,Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain(NDCG),and Mean Reciprocal Rank(MRR).The experimental results demonstrate significant enhancements in recommendation quality,underscoring that combining GCNs with CF in a federated setting provides a transformative solution for advanced recommendation systems.
文摘In the burgeoning field of anomaly detection within attributed networks,traditional methodologies often encounter the intricacies of network complexity,particularly in capturing nonlinearity and sparsity.This study introduces an innovative approach that synergizes the strengths of graph convolutional networks with advanced deep residual learning and a unique residual-based attention mechanism,thereby creating a more nuanced and efficient method for anomaly detection in complex networks.The heart of our model lies in the integration of graph convolutional networks that capture complex structural relationships within the network data.This is further bolstered by deep residual learning,which is employed to model intricate nonlinear connections directly from input data.A pivotal innovation in our approach is the incorporation of a residual-based attention mech-anism.This mechanism dynamically adjusts the importance of nodes based on their residual information,thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity of the model to subtle anomalies.Furthermore,we introduce a novel hypersphere mapping technique in the latent space to distinctly separate normal and anomalous data.This mapping is the key to our model’s ability to pinpoint anomalies with greater precision.An extensive experimental setup was used to validate the efficacy of the proposed model.Using attributed social network datasets,we demonstrate that our model not only competes with but also surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in anomaly detection.The results show the exceptional capability of our model to handle the multifaceted nature of real-world networks.
