Abstract The fast-paced development of blockchain technology is evident. Yet, the security concerns of smart contracts represent a significant challenge to the stability and dependability of the entire blockchain ecosystem. Conventional smart contract vulnerability detection primarily relies on static analysis tools, which are less efficient and accurate. Although deep learning methods have improved detection efficiency, they are unable to fully utilize the static relationships within contracts. Therefore, we have adopted the advantages of the above two methods, combining feature extraction mode of tools with deep learning techniques. Firstly, we have constructed corresponding feature extraction mode for… More >

Abstract Wheat is a critical crop, extensively consumed worldwide, and its production enhancement is essential to meet escalating demand. The presence of diseases like stem rust, leaf rust, yellow rust, and tan spot significantly diminishes wheat yield, making the early and precise identification of these diseases vital for effective disease management. With advancements in deep learning algorithms, researchers have proposed many methods for the automated detection of disease pathogens; however, accurately detecting multiple disease pathogens simultaneously remains a challenge. This challenge arises due to the scarcity of RGB images for multiple diseases, class imbalance in existing… More >

Abstract A deep learning access control model based on user preferences is proposed to address the issue of personal privacy leakage in social networks. Firstly, social users and social data entities are extracted from the social network and used to construct homogeneous and heterogeneous graphs. Secondly, a graph neural network model is designed based on user daily social behavior and daily social data to simulate the dissemination and changes of user social preferences and user personal preferences in the social network. Then, high-order neighbor nodes, hidden neighbor nodes, displayed neighbor nodes, and social data nodes are… More >

Abstract Social robot accounts controlled by artificial intelligence or humans are active in social networks, bringing negative impacts to network security and social life. Existing social robot detection methods based on graph neural networks suffer from the problem of many social network nodes and complex relationships, which makes it difficult to accurately describe the difference between the topological relations of nodes, resulting in low detection accuracy of social robots. This paper proposes a social robot detection method with the use of an improved neural network. First, social relationship subgraphs are constructed by leveraging the user’s social… More >

Abstract Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNs) have been widely used in various fields due to their powerful capabilities in processing graph-structured data. However, GCNs encounter significant challenges when applied to scale-free graphs with power-law distributions, resulting in substantial distortions. Moreover, most of the existing GCN models are shallow structures, which restricts their ability to capture dependencies among distant nodes and more refined high-order node features in scale-free graphs with hierarchical structures. To more broadly and precisely apply GCNs to real-world graphs exhibiting scale-free or hierarchical structures and utilize multi-level aggregation of GCNs for capturing high-level information… More >

Abstract The recommendation system (RS) on the strength of Graph Neural Networks (GNN) perceives a user-item interaction graph after collecting all items the user has interacted with. Afterward the RS performs neighborhood aggregation on the graph to generate long-term preference representations for the user in quick succession. However, user preferences are dynamic. With the passage of time and some trend guidance, users may generate some short-term preferences, which are more likely to lead to user-item interactions. A GNN recommendation based on long- and short-term preference (LSGNN) is proposed to address the above problems. LSGNN consists of More >

Abstract With the rapid development of Open-Source (OS), more and more software projects are maintained and developed in the form of OS. These Open-Source projects depend on and influence each other, gradually forming a huge OS project network, namely an Open-Source Software ECOsystem (OSSECO). Unfortunately, not all OS projects in the open-source ecosystem can be healthy and stable in the long term, and more projects will go from active to inactive and gradually die. In a tightly connected ecosystem, the death of one project can potentially cause the collapse of the entire ecosystem network. How can… More >

Abstract Real-world complex networks are inherently heterogeneous; they have different types of nodes, attributes, and relationships. In recent years, various methods have been proposed to automatically learn how to encode the structural and semantic information contained in heterogeneous information networks (HINs) into low-dimensional embeddings; this task is called heterogeneous network embedding (HNE). Efficient HNE techniques can benefit various HIN-based machine learning tasks such as node classification, recommender systems, and information retrieval. Here, we provide a comprehensive survey of key advancements in the area of HNE. First, we define an encoder-decoder-based HNE model taxonomy. Then, we systematically More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Generally, conventional methods for anomaly detection rely on clustering, proximity, or classification. With the massive growth in surveillance videos, outliers or anomalies find ingenious ways to obscure themselves in the network and make conventional techniques inefficient. This research explores the structure of Graph neural networks (GNNs) that generalize deep learning frameworks to graph-structured data. Every node in the graph structure is labeled and anomalies, represented by unlabeled nodes, are predicted by performing random walks on the node-based graph structures. Due to their strong learning abilities, GNNs gained popularity in various domains such as natural language… More >
