Abstract Deep neural network-based relational extraction research has made significant progress in recent years, and it provides data support for many natural language processing downstream tasks such as building knowledge graph, sentiment analysis and question-answering systems. However, previous studies ignored much unused structural information in sentences that could enhance the performance of the relation extraction task. Moreover, most existing dependency-based models utilize self-attention to distinguish the importance of context, which hardly deals with multiple-structure information. To efficiently leverage multiple structure information, this paper proposes a dynamic structure attention mechanism model based on textual structure information, which deeply… More >

Abstract Due to the complex environment of the university laboratory, personnel flow intensive, personnel irregular behavior is easy to cause security risks. Monitoring using mainstream detection algorithms suffers from low detection accuracy and slow speed. Therefore, the current management of personnel behavior mainly relies on institutional constraints, education and training, on-site supervision, etc., which is time-consuming and ineffective. Given the above situation, this paper proposes an improved You Only Look Once version 7 (YOLOv7) to achieve the purpose of quickly detecting irregular behaviors of laboratory personnel while ensuring high detection accuracy. First, to better capture the… More >

Abstract The BlazePose, which models human body skeletons as spatiotemporal graphs, has achieved fantastic performance in skeleton-based action identification. Skeleton extraction from photos for mobile devices has been made possible by the BlazePose system. A Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (STGCN) can then forecast the actions. The Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (STGCN) can be improved by simply replacing the skeleton input data with a different set of joints that provide more information about the activity of interest. On the other hand, existing approaches require the user to manually set the graph’s topology and then fix it across… More >

Abstract Spatio-temporal heterogeneous data is the database for decision-making in many fields, and checking its accuracy can provide data support for making decisions. Due to the randomness, complexity, global and local correlation of spatiotemporal heterogeneous data in the temporal and spatial dimensions, traditional detection methods can not guarantee both detection speed and accuracy. Therefore, this article proposes a method for detecting the accuracy of spatiotemporal heterogeneous data by fusing graph convolution and temporal convolution networks. Firstly, the geographic weighting function is introduced and improved to quantify the degree of association between nodes and calculate the weighted… More >

Abstract As COVID-19 poses a major threat to people’s health and economy, there is an urgent need for forecasting methodologies that can anticipate its trajectory efficiently. In non-stationary time series forecasting jobs, there is frequently a hysteresis in the anticipated values relative to the real values. The multilayer deep-time convolutional network and a feature fusion network are combined in this paper’s proposal of an enhanced Multilayer Deep Time Convolutional Neural Network (MDTCNet) for COVID-19 prediction to address this problem. In particular, it is possible to record the deep features and temporal dependencies in uncertain time series, More >

Abstract The ever-growing available visual data (i.e., uploaded videos and pictures by internet users) has attracted the research community's attention in the computer vision field. Therefore, finding efficient solutions to extract knowledge from these sources is imperative. Recently, the BlazePose system has been released for skeleton extraction from images oriented to mobile devices. With this skeleton graph representation in place, a Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network can be implemented to predict the action. We hypothesize that just by changing the skeleton input data for a different set of joints that offers more information about the action of More >

Abstract Event detection (ED) is aimed at detecting event occurrences and categorizing them. This task has been previously solved via recognition and classification of event triggers (ETs), which are defined as the phrase or word most clearly expressing event occurrence. Thus, current approaches require both annotated triggers as well as event types in training data. Nevertheless, triggers are non-essential in ED, and it is time-wasting for annotators to identify the “most clearly” word from a sentence, particularly in longer sentences. To decrease manual effort, we evaluate event detection without triggers. We propose a novel framework that combines More >

Abstract The continuous improvement of the cyber threat intelligence sharing mechanism provides new ideas to deal with Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). Extracting attack behaviors, i.e., Tactics, Techniques, Procedures (TTP) from Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) can facilitate APT actors’ profiling for an immediate response. However, it is difficult for traditional manual methods to analyze attack behaviors from cyber threat intelligence due to its heterogeneous nature. Based on the Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) of threat behavior description, this paper proposes a threat behavioral knowledge extraction framework that integrates Heterogeneous Text Network (HTN) and Graph Convolutional… More >

Abstract To generate realistic three-dimensional animation of virtual character, capturing real facial expression is the primary task. Due to diverse facial expressions and complex background, facial landmarks recognized by existing strategies have the problem of deviations and low accuracy. Therefore, a method for facial expression capture based on two-stage neural network is proposed in this paper which takes advantage of improved multi-task cascaded convolutional networks (MTCNN) and high-resolution network. Firstly, the convolution operation of traditional MTCNN is improved. The face information in the input image is quickly filtered by feature fusion in the first stage and… More >

Abstract Scene recognition is a fundamental task in computer vision, which generally includes three vital stages, namely feature extraction, feature transformation and classification. Early research mainly focuses on feature extraction, but with the rise of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), more and more feature transformation methods are proposed based on CNN features. In this work, a novel feature transformation algorithm called Graph Encoded Local Discriminative Region Representation (GEDRR) is proposed to find discriminative local representations for scene images and explore the relationship between the discriminative regions. In addition, we propose a method using the multi-head attention module More >
