文摘This study presents a teaching reform for the Object-oriented Software Construction(OOSC)course by integrating outcome-based education(OBE)and the BOPPPS(bridge-In,objectives,pre-assessment,participatory learning,post-assessment,summary)instructional model.The reform addresses the gap between syntax-based programming instruction and the need for higher-level skills in abstraction,modularity,and software architecture.The course is anchored in a semester-long,project-based learning platform centered on a Java-based Aircraft Battle Game,progressing through six iterative experiments.Each experiment targets specific competencies within the structured BOPPPS teaching cycle and is aligned with specific OBE learning outcomes.A case study on the Factory Pattern illustrates how the BOPPPS model fosters conceptual understanding and practical application.Evaluation results from the 2023 and 2024 spring semesters show improved outcomes:Project completion rose from 87%to 95%,37%of students implemented innovative features,and average final grades increased by 7%.The results affirm that the OBE+BOPPPS integration strengthens engagement,deepens understanding,and equips students with real-world software development competencies.

文摘The rapid development of new-quality productive forces(NQPF)has intensified the demand for high-level innovative talent.As a representative of NQPF,generative artificial intelligence(GenAI)offers powerful tools to reshape talent cultivation but also presents significant challenges,including skill hollowing,ethical risks,and a growing disconnect between education and industry needs.Currently,graduate-level software engineering education struggles with outdated curricula and insufficient alignment with practical demands.In this paper,we propose a dual-core collaborative framework driven by“GenAI technology”and“industry demand”.Under this framework,we design a four-dimensional capability development path to enhance graduate students’innovation in software engineering practice.This path focuses on①scientific research innovation,②engineering problem-solving,③cross-domain collaborative evolution,and④ethical risk governance.The proposed approach promotes a shift from traditional knowledge transfer to human-machine collaborative innovation,aligning talent cultivation with the demands of the NQPF.

文摘We discuss recent progress in using machine-learning(ML)-enabled inverse design techniques applied to photonic devices and components.Specifically,we highlight the design of optical sources,including fiber and semiconductor lasers,as well as Raman and semiconductor optical amplifiers.Although inverse design approaches for optical detectors remain relatively underexplored,we examine optical layers,particularly metamaterial absorbers,as promising candidates for high-performance optical detection.In addition,we underscore advancements in inverse designing passive optical components,including beam splitters,gratings,and optical fibers.These optical blocks are fundamental in developing next-generation standalone optical communication systems and optical sensing networks,including integrated sensing and communication technologies.While categorizing various reported deep learning architectures across five paradigms,we offer a paradigm-based perspective that reveals how different ML techniques function within modern inverse design methods and enable fast,data-driven solutions that significantly reduce design time and computational demands compared with traditional optimization methods.
文摘The field of artificial intelligence has advanced significantly in recent years,but achieving a human-like or Artificial General Intelligence(AGI)remains a theoretical challenge.One hypothesis suggests that a key issue is the formalisation of extracting meaning from information.Meaning emerges through a three-stage interpretative process,where the spectrum of possible interpretations is collapsed into a singular outcome by a particular context.However,this approach currently lacks practical grounding.In this research,we developed a model based on contexts,which applies interpretation principles to the visual information to address this gap.The field of computer vision and object recognition has progressed essentially with artificial neural networks,but these models struggle with geometrically transformed images,such as those that are rotated or shifted,limiting their robustness in real-world applications.Various approaches have been proposed to address this problem.Some of them(Hu moments,spatial transformers,capsule networks,attention and memory mechanisms)share a conceptual connection with the contextual model(CM)discussed in this study.This paper investigates whether CM principles are applicable for interpreting rotated images from the MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets.The model was implemented in the Rust programming language.It consists of a contextual module and a convolutional neural network(CNN).The CMwas trained on the rotated Mono Icons dataset,which is significantly different from the testing datasets.The CNN module was trained on the original MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets for interpretation recognition.As a result,the CM was able to recognise the original datasets but encountered rotated images only during testing.The findings show that the model effectively interpreted transformed images by considering them in all available contexts and restoring their original form.This provides a practical foundation for further development of the contextual hypothesis and its relation to theAGI domain.

文摘The continuous decrease in global fishery resources has increased the importance of precise and efficient underwater fish monitoring technology.First,this study proposes an improved underwater target detection framework based on YOLOv8,with the aim of enhancing detection accuracy and the ability to recognize multi-scale targets in blurry and complex underwater environments.A streamlined Vision Transformer(ViT)model is used as the feature extraction backbone,which retains global self-attention feature extraction and accelerates training efficiency.In addition,a detection head named Dynamic Head(DyHead)is introduced,which enhances the efficiency of processing various target sizes through multi-scale feature fusion and adaptive attention modules.Furthermore,a dynamic loss function adjustment method called SlideLoss is employed.This method utilizes sliding window technology to adaptively adjust parameters,which optimizes the detection of challenging targets.The experimental results on the RUOD dataset show that the proposed improved model not only significantly enhances the accuracy of target detection but also increases the efficiency of target detection.
文摘Selective Laser Melting(SLM),an advanced metal additive manufacturing technology,offers high precision and personalized customization advantages.However,selecting reasonable SLM parameters is challenging due to complex relationships.This study proposes a method for identifying the optimal process window by combining the simulation model with an optimization algorithm.JAYA is guided by the principle of preferential behavior towards best solutions and avoidance of worst ones,but it is prone to premature convergence thus leading to insufficient global search.To overcome limitations,this research proposes a Differential Evolution-framed JAYA algorithm(DEJAYA).DEJAYA incorporates four key enhancements to improve the flexibility of the original algorithm,which include DE framework design,horizontal crossover operator,longitudinal crossover operator,and global greedy strategy.The effectiveness of DEJAYA is rigorously evaluated by a suite of 23 distinct benchmark functions.Furthermore,the numerical simulation establishes AlSi10Mg single-track formation models,and DEJAYA successfully identified the optimal process window for this problem.Experimental results validate that DEJAYA effectively guides SLM parameter selection for AlSi10Mg.

文摘With the deep integration of smart manufacturing and IoT technologies,higher demands are placed on the intelligence and real-time performance of industrial equipment fault detection.For industrial fans,base bolt loosening faults are difficult to identify through conventional spectrum analysis,and the extreme scarcity of fault data leads to limited training datasets,making traditional deep learning methods inaccurate in fault identification and incapable of detecting loosening severity.This paper employs Bayesian Learning by training on a small fault dataset collected from the actual operation of axial-flow fans in a factory to obtain posterior distribution.This method proposes specific data processing approaches and a configuration of Bayesian Convolutional Neural Network(BCNN).It can effectively improve the model’s generalization ability.Experimental results demonstrate high detection accuracy and alignment with real-world applications,offering practical significance and reference value for industrial fan bolt loosening detection under data-limited conditions.

文摘Chinese abbreviations improve communicative efficiency by extracting key components from longer expressions.They are widely used in both daily communication and professional domains.However,existing abbreviation generation methods still face two major challenges.First,sequence-labeling-based approaches often neglect contextual meaning by making binary decisions at the character level,leading to abbreviations that fail to capture semantic completeness.Second,generation-basedmethods rely heavily on a single decoding process,which frequently produces correct abbreviations but ranks them lower due to inadequate semantic evaluation.To address these limitations,we propose a novel two-stage frameworkwithGeneration–Iterative Optimization forAbbreviation(GIOA).In the first stage,we design aChain-of-Thought prompting strategy and incorporate definitional and situational contexts to generate multiple abbreviation candidates.In the second stage,we introduce a Semantic Preservation Dynamic Adjustment mechanism that alternates between character-level importance estimation and semantic restoration to optimize candidate ranking.Experiments on two public benchmark datasets show that our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches,achieving Hit@1 improvements of 15.15%and 13.01%,respectively,while maintaining consistent results in Hit@3.

文摘In educational settings,instructors often lead students through hands-on software projects,sometimes engaging two different schools or departments.How can such collaborations be made more efficient,and how can students truly experience the importance of teamwork and the impact of organizational structure on project complexity?To answer these questions,we introduce the requirement-driven organization structure(R-DOS)approach,which tightly couples software requirements with the actual development process.By extending problem-frames modeling and focusing on requirements,R-DOS allows educators and students to(1)diagnose structural flaws early,(2)prescribe role-level and communication fixes,and(3)observe-in real time-how poor structure can derail a project while good structure accelerates learning and delivery.

文摘With the efficient and intelligent development of computer-based big data processing,applying machine learning methods to the processing and interpretation of logging data in the field of geophysical well logging has broad potential for improving production efficiency.Currently,the Jiyuan Oilfield in the Ordos Basin relies mainly on manual reprocessing and interpretation of old well logging data to identify different fluid types in low-contrast reservoirs,guiding subsequent production work.This study uses well logging data from the Chang 1 reservoir,partitioning the dataset based on individual wells for model training and testing.A deep learning model for intelligent reservoir fluid identification was constructed by incorporating the focal loss function.Comparative validations with five other models,including logistic regression(LR),naive Bayes(NB),gradient boosting decision trees(GBDT),random forest(RF),and support vector machine(SVM),show that this model demonstrates superior identification performance and significantly improves the accuracy of identifying oil-bearing fluids.Mutual information analysis reveals the model's differential dependency on various logging parameters for reservoir fluid identification.This model provides important references and a basis for conducting regional studies and revisiting old wells,demonstrating practical value that can be widely applied.

文摘The performance of data restore is one of the key indicators of user experience for backup storage systems.Compared to the traditional offline restore process,online restore reduces downtime during backup restoration,allowing users to operate on already restored files while other files are still being restored.This approach improves availability during restoration tasks but suffers from a critical limitation:inconsistencies between the access sequence and the restore sequence.In many cases,the file a user needs to access at a given moment may not yet be restored,resulting in significant delays and poor user experience.To this end,we present Histore,which builds on the user’s historical access sequence to schedule the restore sequence,in order to reduce users’access delayed time.Histore includes three restore approaches:(i)the frequency-based approach,which restores files based on historical file access frequencies and prioritizes ensuring the availability of frequently accessed files;(ii)the graph-based approach,which preferentially restores the frequently accessed files as well as their correlated files based on historical access patterns,and(iii)the trie-based approach,which restores particular files based on both users’real-time and historical access patterns to deduce and restore the files to be accessed in the near future.We implement a prototype of Histore and evaluate its performance from multiple perspectives.Trace-driven experiments on two datasets show that Histore significantly reduces users’delay time by 4-700×with only 1.0%-14.5%additional performance overhead.
