First, the multi-mode features extracted synchronously by the CCAE were stacked and fed to the multi-channel convolution layers for fusion. Then, the fused data was passed to all connection layers for compression and fed to the Softmax module for classification. Finally, the coupling loss function coefficients and the network parameters were optimized through an adaptive approach using the gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm. Experimental comparisons showed that the proposed ADCCAE fusion model was superior to existing models for multi-mode data fusion.展开更多

文摘Pulsar search is always the basis of pulsar navigation,gravitational wave detection and other research topics.Currently,the volume of pulsar candidates collected by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)shows an explosive growth rate that has brought challenges for its pulsar candidate filtering system.Particularly,the multi-view heterogeneous data and class imbalance between true pulsars and non-pulsar candidates have negative effects on traditional single-modal supervised classification methods.In this study,a multi-modal and semi-supervised learning based on a pulsar candidate sifting algorithm is presented,which adopts a hybrid ensemble clustering scheme of density-based and partition-based methods combined with a feature-level fusion strategy for input data and a data partition strategy for parallelization.Experiments on both High Time Resolution Universe SurveyⅡ(HTRU2)and actual FAST observation data demonstrate that the proposed algorithm could excellently identify pulsars:On HTRU2,the precision and recall rates of its parallel mode reach0.981 and 0.988 respectively.On FAST data,those of its parallel mode reach 0.891 and 0.961,meanwhile,the running time also significantly decreases with the increment of parallel nodes within limits.Thus,we can conclude that our algorithm could be a feasible idea for large scale pulsar candidate sifting for FAST drift scan observation.

文摘The unsupervised multi-modal image translation is an emerging domain of computer vision whose goal is to transform an image from the source domain into many diverse styles in the target domain.However,the multi-generator mechanism is employed among the advanced approaches available to model different domain mappings,which results in inefficient training of neural networks and pattern collapse,leading to inefficient generation of image diversity.To address this issue,this paper introduces a multi-modal unsupervised image translation framework that uses a generator to perform multi-modal image translation.Specifically,firstly,the domain code is introduced in this paper to explicitly control the different generation tasks.Secondly,this paper brings in the squeeze-and-excitation(SE)mechanism and feature attention(FA)module.Finally,the model integrates multiple optimization objectives to ensure efficient multi-modal translation.This paper performs qualitative and quantitative experiments on multiple non-paired benchmark image translation datasets while demonstrating the benefits of the proposed method over existing technologies.Overall,experimental results have shown that the proposed method is versatile and scalable.

文摘The scarcity of bilingual parallel corpus imposes limitations on exploiting the state-of-the-art supervised translation technology.One of the research directions is employing relations among multi-modal data to enhance perfor-mance.However,the reliance on manually annotated multi-modal datasets results in a high cost of data labeling.In this paper,the topic semantics of images is proposed to alleviate the above problem.First,topic-related images can be auto-matically collected from the Internet by search engines.Second,topic semantics is sufficient to encode the relations be-tween multi-modal data such as texts and images.Specifically,we propose a visual topic semantic enhanced translation(VTSE)model that utilizes topic-related images to construct a cross-lingual and cross-modal semantic space,allowing the VTSE model to simultaneously integrate the syntactic structure and semantic features.In the above process,topic similar texts and images are wrapped into groups so that the model can extract more robust topic semantics from a set of similar images and then further optimize the feature integration.The results show that our model outperforms competitive base-lines by a large margin on the Multi30k and the Ambiguous COCO datasets.Our model can use external images to bring gains to translation,improving data efficiency.

文摘Media convergence is a media change led by technological innovation.Applying media convergence technology to the study of clustering in Chinese medicine can significantly exploit the advantages of media fusion.Obtaining consistent and complementary information among multiple modalities through media convergence can provide technical support for clustering.This article presents an approach based on Media Convergence and Graph convolution Encoder Clustering(MCGEC)for traditonal Chinese medicine(TCM)clinical data.It feeds modal information and graph structure from media information into a multi-modal graph convolution encoder to obtain the media feature representation learnt from multiple modalities.MCGEC captures latent information from various modalities by fusion and optimises the feature representations and network architecture with learnt clustering labels.The experiment is conducted on real-world multimodal TCM clinical data,including information like images and text.MCGEC has improved clustering results compared to the generic single-modal clustering methods and the current more advanced multi-modal clustering methods.MCGEC applied to TCM clinical datasets can achieve better results.Integrating multimedia features into clustering algorithms offers significant benefits compared to single-modal clustering approaches that simply concatenate features from different modalities.It provides practical technical support for multi-modal clustering in the TCM field incorporating multimedia features.

文摘Deep learning based methods have been successfully applied to semantic segmentation of optical remote sensing images.However,as more and more remote sensing data is available,it is a new challenge to comprehensively utilize multi-modal remote sensing data to break through the performance bottleneck of single-modal interpretation.In addition,semantic segmentation and height estimation in remote sensing data are two tasks with strong correlation,but existing methods usually study individual tasks separately,which leads to high computational resource overhead.To this end,we propose a Multi-Task learning framework for Multi-Modal remote sensing images(MM_MT).Specifically,we design a Cross-Modal Feature Fusion(CMFF)method,which aggregates complementary information of different modalities to improve the accuracy of semantic segmentation and height estimation.Besides,a dual-stream multi-task learning method is introduced for Joint Semantic Segmentation and Height Estimation(JSSHE),extracting common features in a shared network to save time and resources,and then learning task-specific features in two task branches.Experimental results on the public multi-modal remote sensing image dataset Potsdam show that compared to training two tasks independently,multi-task learning saves 20%of training time and achieves competitive performance with mIoU of 83.02%for semantic segmentation and accuracy of 95.26%for height estimation.
文摘To address the difficulties in fusing multi-mode sensor data for complex industrial machinery, an adaptive deep coupling convolutional auto-encoder (ADCCAE) fusion method was proposed. First, the multi-mode features extracted synchronously by the CCAE were stacked and fed to the multi-channel convolution layers for fusion. Then, the fused data was passed to all connection layers for compression and fed to the Softmax module for classification. Finally, the coupling loss function coefficients and the network parameters were optimized through an adaptive approach using the gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm. Experimental comparisons showed that the proposed ADCCAE fusion model was superior to existing models for multi-mode data fusion.

文摘Power Shell has been widely deployed in fileless malware and advanced persistent threat(APT)attacks due to its high stealthiness and live-off-theland technique.However,existing works mainly focus on deobfuscation and malicious detection,lacking the malicious Power Shell families classification and behavior analysis.Moreover,the state-of-the-art methods fail to capture fine-grained features and semantic relationships,resulting in low robustness and accuracy.To this end,we propose Power Detector,a novel malicious Power Shell script detector based on multimodal semantic fusion and deep learning.Specifically,we design four feature extraction methods to extract key features from character,token,abstract syntax tree(AST),and semantic knowledge graph.Then,we intelligently design four embeddings(i.e.,Char2Vec,Token2Vec,AST2Vec,and Rela2Vec) and construct a multi-modal fusion algorithm to concatenate feature vectors from different views.Finally,we propose a combined model based on transformer and CNN-Bi LSTM to implement Power Shell family detection.Our experiments with five types of Power Shell attacks show that PowerDetector can accurately detect various obfuscated and stealth PowerShell scripts,with a 0.9402 precision,a 0.9358 recall,and a 0.9374 F1-score.Furthermore,through singlemodal and multi-modal comparison experiments,we demonstrate that PowerDetector’s multi-modal embedding and deep learning model can achieve better accuracy and even identify more unknown attacks.

文摘Event extraction stands as a significant endeavor within the realm of information extraction,aspiring to automatically extract structured event information from vast volumes of unstructured text.Extracting event elements from multi-modal data remains a challenging task due to the presence of a large number of images and overlapping event elements in the data.Although researchers have proposed various methods to accomplish this task,most existing event extraction models cannot address these challenges because they are only applicable to text scenarios.To solve the above issues,this paper proposes a multi-modal event extraction method based on knowledge fusion.Specifically,for event-type recognition,we use a meticulous pipeline approach that integrates multiple pre-trained models.This approach enables a more comprehensive capture of the multidimensional event semantic features present in military texts,thereby enhancing the interconnectedness of information between trigger words and events.For event element extraction,we propose a method for constructing a priori templates that combine event types with corresponding trigger words.This approach facilitates the acquisition of fine-grained input samples containing event trigger words,thus enabling the model to understand the semantic relationships between elements in greater depth.Furthermore,a fusion method for spatial mapping of textual event elements and image elements is proposed to reduce the category number overload and effectively achieve multi-modal knowledge fusion.The experimental results based on the CCKS 2022 dataset show that our method has achieved competitive results,with a comprehensive evaluation value F1-score of 53.4%for the model.These results validate the effectiveness of our method in extracting event elements from multi-modal data.

文摘The knowledge graph with relational abundant information has been widely used as the basic data support for the retrieval platforms.Image and text descriptions added to the knowledge graph enrich the node information,which accounts for the advantage of the multi-modal knowledge graph.In the field of cross-modal retrieval platforms,multi-modal knowledge graphs can help to improve retrieval accuracy and efficiency because of the abundant relational infor-mation provided by knowledge graphs.The representation learning method is sig-nificant to the application of multi-modal knowledge graphs.This paper proposes a distributed collaborative vector retrieval platform(DCRL-KG)using the multi-modal knowledge graph VisualSem as the foundation to achieve efficient and high-precision multimodal data retrieval.Firstly,use distributed technology to classify and store the data in the knowledge graph to improve retrieval efficiency.Secondly,this paper uses BabelNet to expand the knowledge graph through multi-ple filtering processes and increase the diversification of information.Finally,this paper builds a variety of retrieval models to achieve the fusion of retrieval results through linear combination methods to achieve high-precision language retrieval and image retrieval.The paper uses sentence retrieval and image retrieval experi-ments to prove that the platform can optimize the storage structure of the multi-modal knowledge graph and have good performance in multi-modal space.

文摘In recent years,many visual positioning algorithms have been proposed based on computer vision and they have achieved good results.However,these algorithms have a single function,cannot perceive the environment,and have poor versatility,and there is a certain mismatch phenomenon,which affects the positioning accuracy.Therefore,this paper proposes a location algorithm that combines a target recognition algorithm with a depth feature matching algorithm to solve the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)environment perception and multi-modal image-matching fusion location.This algorithm was based on the single-shot object detector based on multi-level feature pyramid network(M2Det)algorithm and replaced the original visual geometry group(VGG)feature extraction network with the ResNet-101 network to improve the feature extraction capability of the network model.By introducing a depth feature matching algorithm,the algorithm shares neural network weights and realizes the design of UAV target recognition and a multi-modal image-matching fusion positioning algorithm.When the reference image and the real-time image were mismatched,the dynamic adaptive proportional constraint and the random sample consensus consistency algorithm(DAPC-RANSAC)were used to optimize the matching results to improve the correct matching efficiency of the target.Using the multi-modal registration data set,the proposed algorithm was compared and analyzed to verify its superiority and feasibility.The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively deal with the matching between multi-modal images(visible image–infrared image,infrared image–satellite image,visible image–satellite image),and the contrast,scale,brightness,ambiguity deformation,and other changes had good stability and robustness.Finally,the effectiveness and practicability of the algorithm proposed in this paper were verified in an aerial test scene of an S1000 sixrotor UAV.

文摘With the development of Industry 4.0 and big data technology,the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)is hampered by inherent issues such as privacy,security,and fault tolerance,which pose certain challenges to the rapid development of IIoT.Blockchain technology has immutability,decentralization,and autonomy,which can greatly improve the inherent defects of the IIoT.In the traditional blockchain,data is stored in a Merkle tree.As data continues to grow,the scale of proofs used to validate it grows,threatening the efficiency,security,and reliability of blockchain-based IIoT.Accordingly,this paper first analyzes the inefficiency of the traditional blockchain structure in verifying the integrity and correctness of data.To solve this problem,a new Vector Commitment(VC)structure,Partition Vector Commitment(PVC),is proposed by improving the traditional VC structure.Secondly,this paper uses PVC instead of the Merkle tree to store big data generated by IIoT.PVC can improve the efficiency of traditional VC in the process of commitment and opening.Finally,this paper uses PVC to build a blockchain-based IIoT data security storage mechanism and carries out a comparative analysis of experiments.This mechanism can greatly reduce communication loss and maximize the rational use of storage space,which is of great significance for maintaining the security and stability of blockchain-based IIoT.
文摘In geometry processing,symmetry research benefits from global geo-metric features of complete shapes,but the shape of an object captured in real-world applications is often incomplete due to the limited sensor resolution,single viewpoint,and occlusion.Different from the existing works predicting symmetry from the complete shape,we propose a learning approach for symmetry predic-tion based on a single RGB-D image.Instead of directly predicting the symmetry from incomplete shapes,our method consists of two modules,i.e.,the multi-mod-al feature fusion module and the detection-by-reconstruction module.Firstly,we build a channel-transformer network(CTN)to extract cross-fusion features from the RGB-D as the multi-modal feature fusion module,which helps us aggregate features from the color and the depth separately.Then,our self-reconstruction net-work based on a 3D variational auto-encoder(3D-VAE)takes the global geo-metric features as input,followed by a prediction symmetry network to detect the symmetry.Our experiments are conducted on three public datasets:ShapeNet,YCB,and ScanNet,we demonstrate that our method can produce reliable and accurate results.

文摘Mg alloys possess an inherent plastic anisotropy owing to the selective activation of deformation mechanisms depending on the loading condition.This characteristic results in a diverse range of flow curves that vary with a deformation condition.This study proposes a novel approach for accurately predicting an anisotropic deformation behavior of wrought Mg alloys using machine learning(ML)with data augmentation.The developed model combines four key strategies from data science:learning the entire flow curves,generative adversarial networks(GAN),algorithm-driven hyperparameter tuning,and gated recurrent unit(GRU)architecture.The proposed model,namely GAN-aided GRU,was extensively evaluated for various predictive scenarios,such as interpolation,extrapolation,and a limited dataset size.The model exhibited significant predictability and improved generalizability for estimating the anisotropic compressive behavior of ZK60 Mg alloys under 11 annealing conditions and for three loading directions.The GAN-aided GRU results were superior to those of previous ML models and constitutive equations.The superior performance was attributed to hyperparameter optimization,GAN-based data augmentation,and the inherent predictivity of the GRU for extrapolation.As a first attempt to employ ML techniques other than artificial neural networks,this study proposes a novel perspective on predicting the anisotropic deformation behaviors of wrought Mg alloys.
