New Knowledge Network Evaluation Method for Design Rationale Management

Current design rationale （DR） systems have not demonstrated the value of the approach in practice since little attention is put to the evaluation method of DR knowledge. To systematize knowledge management process for future computer-aided DR applications, a prerequisite is to provide the measure for the DR knowledge. In this paper, a new knowledge network evaluation method for DR management is presented. The method characterizes the DR knowledge value from four perspectives, namely, the design rationale structure scale, association knowledge and reasoning ability, degree of design justification support and degree of knowledge representation conciseness. The DR knowledge comprehensive value is also measured by the proposed method. To validate the proposed method, different style of DR knowledge network and the performance of the proposed measure are discussed. The evaluation method has been applied in two realistic design cases and compared with the structural measures. The research proposes the DR knowledge evaluation method which can provide object metric and selection basis for the DR knowledge reuse during the product design process. In addition, the method is proved to be more effective guidance and support for the application and management of DR knowledge.

Research on Network Cognition Model and Mechanism of Intelligent Information Network

Intellectualization has been an inevitable trend in the information network,allowing the network to achieve the capabilities of self-learning,self-optimization,and self-evolution in the dynamic environment.Due to the strong adaptability to the environment,the cognitive theory methods from psychology gradually become an excellent approach to construct the intelligent information network(IIN),making the traditional definition of the intelligent information network no longer appropriate.Moreover,the thinking capability of existing IINs is always limited.This paper redefines the intelligent information network and illustrates the required properties of the architecture,core theory,and critical technologies by analyzing the existing intelligent information network.Besides,we innovatively propose a novel network cognition model with the network knowledge to implement the intelligent information network.The proposed model can perceive the overall environment data of the network and extract the knowledge from the data.As the model’s core,the knowledge guides the model to generate the optimal decisions adapting to the environmental changes.At last,we present the critical technologies needed to accomplish the proposed network cognition model.

The Yellow FeverPandemic and the Establishment of a Transatlantic Knowledge Network for Epidemic Prevention in the Late 18th and Early 19th Centuries

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries,a series of conflicts erupted in the Caribbean,leading to the spread of yellow fever to North America and Europe.This yellow fever epidemic was aggravated by war,migration,trade,and other human behaviors,resulting in a decadelong transatlantic pandemic.Groups of physicians in Europe and the United States established a transatlantic network focused on epidemic prevention,to investigate the pathology,causes,and treatments of yellow fever Subsequently,some consular officers were also concerned about the yellow fever epidemic,which led to the expansion of this network.The formation and expansion of the transatlantic knowledge network profoundly demonstrated the spirit of transnationalism and promotes progress in international public health.It sets a precedent for international health cooperation.However,this network was dominated by the so-called"white elite",with European and American countries holding the knowledge hegemony,it had a clear racist and colonialism feature.

Adaptive and augmented active anomaly detection on dynamic network traffic streams

Active anomaly detection queries labels of sampled instances and uses them to incrementally update the detection model,and has been widely adopted in detecting network attacks.However,existing methods cannot achieve desirable performance on dynamic network traffic streams because(1)their query strategies cannot sample informative instances to make the detection model adapt to the evolving stream and(2)their model updating relies on limited query instances only and fails to leverage the enormous unlabeled instances on streams.To address these issues,we propose an active tree based model,adaptive and augmented active prior-knowledge forest(A3PF),for anomaly detection on network trafic streams.A prior-knowledge forest is constructed using prior knowledge of network attacks to find feature subspaces that better distinguish network anomalies from normal traffic.On one hand,to make the model adapt to the evolving stream,a novel adaptive query strategy is designed to sample informative instances from two aspects:the changes in dynamic data distribution and the uncertainty of anomalies.On the other hand,based on the similarity of instances in the neighborhood,we devise an augmented update method to generate pseudo labels for the unlabeled neighbors of query instances,which enables usage of the enormous unlabeled instances during model updating.Extensive experiments on two benchmarks,CIC-IDS2017 and UNSW-NB15,demonstrate that A3PF achieves significant improvements over previous active methods in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC-ROC)(20.9%and 21.5%)and the area under the precision-recall curve(AUC-PR)(44.6%and 64.1%).

Network Meets ChatGPT:Intent Autonomous Management,Control and Operation

Telecommunication has undergone significant transformations due to the continuous advancements in internet technology,mobile devices,competitive pricing,and changing customer preferences.Specifically,the most recent iteration of OpenAI’s large language model chat generative pre-trained transformer(ChatGPT)has the potential to propel innovation and bolster operational performance in the telecommunications sector.Nowadays,the exploration of network resource management,control,and operation is still in the initial stage.In this paper,we propose a novel network artificial intelligence architecture named language model for network traffic(NetLM),a large language model based on a transformer designed to understand sequence structures in the network packet data and capture their underlying dynamics.The continual convergence of knowledge space and artificial intelligence(AI)technologies constitutes the core of intelligent network management and control.Multi-modal representation learning is used to unify the multi-modal information of network indicator data,traffic data,and text data into the same feature space.Furthermore,a NetLM-based control policy generation framework is proposed to refine intent incrementally through different abstraction levels.Finally,some potential cases are provided that NetLM can benefit the telecom industry.
