Recommendation Algorithm Integrating CNN and Attention System in Data Extraction

With the rapid development of the Internet globally since the 21st century,the amount of data information has increased exponentially.Data helps improve people’s livelihood and working conditions,as well as learning efficiency.Therefore,data extraction,analysis,and processing have become a hot issue for people from all walks of life.Traditional recommendation algorithm still has some problems,such as inaccuracy,less diversity,and low performance.To solve these problems and improve the accuracy and variety of the recommendation algorithms,the research combines the convolutional neural networks(CNN)and the attention model to design a recommendation algorithm based on the neural network framework.Through the text convolutional network,the input layer in CNN has transformed into two channels:static ones and non-static ones.Meanwhile,the self-attention system focuses on the system so that data can be better processed and the accuracy of feature extraction becomes higher.The recommendation algorithm combines CNN and attention system and divides the embedding layer into user information feature embedding and data name feature extraction embedding.It obtains data name features through a convolution kernel.Finally,the top pooling layer obtains the length vector.The attention system layer obtains the characteristics of the data type.Experimental results show that the proposed recommendation algorithm that combines CNN and the attention system can perform better in data extraction than the traditional CNN algorithm and other recommendation algorithms that are popular at the present stage.The proposed algorithm shows excellent accuracy and robustness.

Extraction of Mineral Alteration Zone from ETM+ Data in Northwestern Yunnan,China

Alteration is regarded as significant information for mineral exploration. In this study, ETM＋ remote sensing data are used for recognizing and extracting alteration zones in northwestern Yunnan （云南）, China. The principal component analysis （PCA） of ETM＋ bands 1, 4, 5, and 7 was employed for OH alteration extractions. The PCA of ETM＋ bands 1, 3, 4, and 5 was used for extracting Fe^2＋ （Fe^3＋） alterations. Interfering factors, such as vegetation, snow, and shadows, were masked. Alteration components were defined in the principal components （PCs） by the contributions of their diagnostic spectral bands. The zones of alteration identified from remote sensing were analyzed in detail along with geological surveys and field verification. The results show that the OH^- alteration is a main indicator of K-feldspar, phyllic, and prophilized alterations. These alterations are closely related to porphyry copper deposits. The Fe^2＋ （Fe^3＋） alteration indicates pyritization, which is mainly related to hydrothermal or skarn type polymetallic deposits.

This paper is concerned with the cooperative target stalking for a multi-unmanned surface vehicle(multi-USV)system.Based on the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient(MADDPG)algorithm,a multi-USV target stalking(MUTS)algorithm is proposed.Firstly,a V-type probabilistic data extraction method is proposed for the first time to overcome shortcomings of the MADDPG algorithm.The advantages of the proposed method are twofold:1)it can reduce the amount of data and shorten training time;2)it can filter out more important data in the experience buffer for training.Secondly,in order to avoid the collisions of USVs during the stalking process,an action constraint method called Safe DDPG is introduced.Finally,the MUTS algorithm and some existing algorithms are compared in cooperative target stalking scenarios.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MUTS algorithm in stalking tasks,mission operating scenarios and reward functions are well designed in this paper.The proposed MUTS algorithm can help the multi-USV system avoid internal collisions during the mission execution.Moreover,compared with some existing algorithms,the newly proposed one can provide a higher convergence speed and a narrower convergence domain.

Feature Extraction of Time Series Data Based on CNN-CBAM

Methods for extracting features from time series data using deep learning have been widely studied,but they still suffer from problems of severe loss of feature information across different network layers and parameter redun-dancy.Therefore,a new time-series data feature extraction model(CNN-CBAM)that integrates convolutional neural networks(CNN)and convolutional attention mechanisms(CBAM)is proposed.First,the parameters of the CNN and BiGRU prediction models are optimized through uniform design methods.Next,the CNN is used to extract features from the time series data,outputting multiple feature maps.These feature maps are then subjected to feature re-extraction by the CBAM attention mechanism at both the spatial and channel levels.Finally,the feature maps are input into the BiGRU model for prediction.Experimental results show that after CNN-CBAM processing,the stability and accuracy of the BiGRU pre-diction model improved by 77.6%and 76.3%,respectively,outperforming other feature extraction methods.Meanwhile,the training time of the model has only increased by 7.1%,demonstrating excellent time efficiency.
