Abstract Imbalanced datasets are common in practical applications, and oversampling methods using fuzzy rules have been shown to enhance the classification performance of imbalanced data by taking into account the relationship between data attributes. However, the creation of fuzzy rules typically depends on expert knowledge, which may not fully leverage the label information in training data and may be subjective. To address this issue, a novel fuzzy rule oversampling approach is developed based on the learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm. In this method, the label information of the training data is utilized to determine the antecedent… More >

Abstract In recent years, semantic segmentation on 3D point cloud data has attracted much attention. Unlike 2D images where pixels distribute regularly in the image domain, 3D point clouds in non-Euclidean space are irregular and inherently sparse. Therefore, it is very difficult to extract long-range contexts and effectively aggregate local features for semantic segmentation in 3D point cloud space. Most current methods either focus on local feature aggregation or long-range context dependency, but fail to directly establish a global-local feature extractor to complete the point cloud semantic segmentation tasks. In this paper, we propose a Transformer-based… More >

Abstract The emergence of digital networks and the wide adoption of information on internet platforms have given rise to threats against users’ private information. Many intruders actively seek such private data either for sale or other inappropriate purposes. Similarly, national and international organizations have country-level and company-level private information that could be accessed by different network attacks. Therefore, the need for a Network Intruder Detection System (NIDS) becomes essential for protecting these networks and organizations. In the evolution of NIDS, Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted tools and methods have been widely adopted to provide effective solutions. However,… More >

Abstract When building a classification model, the scenario where the samples of one class are significantly more than those of the other class is called data imbalance. Data imbalance causes the trained classification model to be in favor of the majority class (usually defined as the negative class), which may do harm to the accuracy of the minority class (usually defined as the positive class), and then lead to poor overall performance of the model. A method called MSHR-FCSSVM for solving imbalanced data classification is proposed in this article, which is based on a new hybrid… More >

Abstract Concrete materials and structures are extensively used in transformation infrastructure and they usually bear cracks during their long-term operation. Detecting cracks using deep-learning algorithms like YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once version 3) is a new trend to pursue intelligent detection of concrete surface cracks. YOLOv3 is a typical deep-learning algorithm used for object detection. Owing to its generality, YOLOv3 lacks specific efficiency and accuracy in identifying concrete surface cracks. An improved algorithm based on YOLOv3, specialized in the rapid and accurate identification of concrete surface cracks is worthy of investigation. This study proposes a tailored… More >

Abstract The advent of self-attention mechanisms within Transformer models has significantly propelled the advancement of deep learning algorithms, yielding outstanding achievements across diverse domains. Nonetheless, self-attention mechanisms falter when applied to datasets with intricate semantic content and extensive dependency structures. In response, this paper introduces a Diffusion Sampling and Label-Driven Co-attention Neural Network (DSLD), which adopts a diffusion sampling method to capture more comprehensive semantic information of the data. Additionally, the model leverages the joint correlation information of labels and data to introduce the computation of text representation, correcting semantic representation biases in the data, and More >

Abstract Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks provide message transmission capabilities for blockchain systems. Improving data transmission efficiency in P2P networks can greatly enhance the performance of blockchain systems. However, traditional blockchain P2P networks face a common challenge where there is often a mismatch between the upper-layer traffic requirements and the underlying physical network topology. This mismatch results in redundant data transmission and inefficient routing, severely constraining the scalability of blockchain systems. To address these pressing issues, we propose FPSblo, an efficient transmission method for blockchain networks. Our inspiration for FPSblo stems from the Farthest Point Sampling (FPS)… More >

Abstract The detection of ash content in coal slime flotation tailings using deep learning can be hindered by various factors such as foam, impurities, and changing lighting conditions that disrupt the collection of tailings images. To address this challenge, we present a method for ash content detection in coal slime flotation tailings. This method utilizes chromatographic filter paper sampling and a multi-scale residual network, which we refer to as MRCN. Initially, tailings are sampled using chromatographic filter paper to obtain static tailings images, effectively isolating interference factors at the flotation site. Subsequently, the MRCN, consisting of… More >

Abstract In the video captioning methods based on an encoder-decoder, limited visual features are extracted by an encoder, and a natural sentence of the video content is generated using a decoder. However, this kind of method is dependent on a single video input source and few visual labels, and there is a problem with semantic alignment between video contents and generated natural sentences, which are not suitable for accurately comprehending and describing the video contents. To address this issue, this paper proposes a video captioning method by semantic topic-guided generation. First, a 3D convolutional neural network… More >
