Abstract Incredible progress has been made in human action recognition (HAR), significantly impacting computer vision applications in sports analytics. However, identifying dynamic and complex movements in sports like badminton remains challenging due to the need for precise recognition accuracy and better management of complex motion patterns. Deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and graph convolutional networks (GCNs) improve recognition in large datasets, while the traditional machine learning methods like SVM (support vector machines), RF (random forest), and LR (logistic regression), combined with handcrafted features and ensemble approaches, perform well but… More >

Abstract Automatically detecting learners’ engagement levels helps to develop more effective online teaching and assessment programs, allowing teachers to provide timely feedback and make personalized adjustments based on students’ needs to enhance teaching effectiveness. Traditional approaches mainly rely on single-frame multimodal facial spatial information, neglecting temporal emotional and behavioural features, with accuracy affected by significant pose variations. Additionally, convolutional padding can erode feature maps, affecting feature extraction’s representational capacity. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid neural network architecture, the redistributing facial features and temporal convolutional network (RefEIP). This network consists of three key components:… More >

Abstract A significant obstacle in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is the capacity to predict traffic flow. Recent advancements in deep neural networks have enabled the development of models to represent traffic flow accurately. However, accurately predicting traffic flow at the individual road level is extremely difficult due to the complex interplay of spatial and temporal factors. This paper proposes a technique for predicting short-term traffic flow data using an architecture that utilizes convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory (Conv-BiLSTM) with attention mechanisms. Prior studies neglected to include data pertaining to factors such as holidays, weather conditions, and More >

Abstract While encryption technology safeguards the security of network communications, malicious traffic also uses encryption protocols to obscure its malicious behavior. To address the issues of traditional machine learning methods relying on expert experience and the insufficient representation capabilities of existing deep learning methods for encrypted malicious traffic, we propose an encrypted malicious traffic classification method that integrates global semantic features with local spatiotemporal features, called BERT-based Spatio-Temporal Features Network (BSTFNet). At the packet-level granularity, the model captures the global semantic features of packets through the attention mechanism of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)… More >

Abstract Traffic prediction already plays a significant role in applications like traffic planning and urban management, but it is still difficult to capture the highly non-linear and complicated spatiotemporal correlations of traffic data. As well as to fulfil both long-term and short-term prediction objectives, a better representation of the temporal dependency and global spatial correlation of traffic data is needed. In order to do this, the Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Network (S-GNN) is proposed in this research as a method for traffic prediction. The S-GNN simultaneously accepts various traffic data as inputs and investigates the non-linear correlations… More >

Abstract How can we efficiently store and mine dynamically generated dense tensors for modeling the behavior of multidimensional dynamic data? Much of the multidimensional dynamic data in the real world is generated in the form of time-growing tensors. For example, air quality tensor data consists of multiple sensory values gathered from wide locations for a long time. Such data, accumulated over time, is redundant and consumes a lot of memory in its raw form. We need a way to efficiently store dynamically generated tensor data that increase over time and to model their behavior on demand… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The Tibet Plateau is one of the regions with the richest solar energy resources in the world. In the process of achieving carbon neutrality in China, the development and utilization of solar energy resources in the region will play an important role. In this study, the gridded solar resource data with 1 km resolution in Tibet were obtained by spatial correction and downscaling of SMARTS model. On this basis, the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of solar energy resources in the region in the past 30 years (1991–2020) are finely evaluated, and the annual global… More >

Abstract Traffic prediction is a necessary function in intelligent transportation systems to alleviate traffic congestion. Graph learning methods mainly focus on the spatiotemporal dimension, but ignore the nonlinear movement of traffic prediction and the high-order relationships among various kinds of road segments. There exist two issues: 1) deep integration of the spatiotemporal information and 2) global spatial dependencies for structural properties. To address these issues, we propose a nonlinear spatiotemporal optimization method, which introduces hypergraph convolution networks (HGCN). The method utilizes the higher-order spatial features of the road network captured by HGCN, and dynamically integrates them More >

Abstract The prediction of overall dynamics of composite materials has been an intriguing research topic more than a century, and numerous approaches have been developed for this topic. One of the most successful representatives is the classical micromechanical models which assume that the behavior of a composite is the same as its constituents except for the difference in mechanical properties, e.g., effective moduli. With the development of advanced composite materials in recent years, especially metamaterials, it is found that the classical micromechanical models cannot describe complex dynamic responses of composites such as the dispersion and bandgaps… 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 >
