Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Rail Based on Improved Pulse Separable Convolution Enhanced Transformer Encoder

In order to prevent possible casualties and economic loss, it is critical to accurate prediction of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) in rail prognostics health management. However, the traditional neural networks is difficult to capture the long-term dependency relationship of the time series in the modeling of the long time series of rail damage, due to the coupling relationship of multi-channel data from multiple sensors. Here, in this paper, a novel RUL prediction model with an enhanced pulse separable convolution is used to solve this issue. Firstly, a coding module based on the improved pulse separable convolutional network is established to effectively model the relationship between the data. To enhance the network, an alternate gradient back propagation method is implemented. And an efficient channel attention (ECA) mechanism is developed for better emphasizing the useful pulse characteristics. Secondly, an optimized Transformer encoder was designed to serve as the backbone of the model. It has the ability to efficiently understand relationship between the data itself and each other at each time step of long time series with a full life cycle. More importantly, the Transformer encoder is improved by integrating pulse maximum pooling to retain more pulse timing characteristics. Finally, based on the characteristics of the front layer, the final predicted RUL value was provided and served as the end-to-end solution. The empirical findings validate the efficacy of the suggested approach in forecasting the rail RUL, surpassing various existing data-driven prognostication techniques. Meanwhile, the proposed method also shows good generalization performance on PHM2012 bearing data set.

Text Augmentation-Based Model for Emotion Recognition Using Transformers

Emotion Recognition in Conversations(ERC)is fundamental in creating emotionally intelligentmachines.Graph-BasedNetwork(GBN)models have gained popularity in detecting conversational contexts for ERC tasks.However,their limited ability to collect and acquire contextual information hinders their effectiveness.We propose a Text Augmentation-based computational model for recognizing emotions using transformers(TA-MERT)to address this.The proposed model uses the Multimodal Emotion Lines Dataset(MELD),which ensures a balanced representation for recognizing human emotions.Themodel used text augmentation techniques to producemore training data,improving the proposed model’s accuracy.Transformer encoders train the deep neural network(DNN)model,especially Bidirectional Encoder(BE)representations that capture both forward and backward contextual information.This integration improves the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model.Furthermore,we present a method for balancing the training dataset by creating enhanced samples from the original dataset.By balancing the dataset across all emotion categories,we can lessen the adverse effects of data imbalance on the accuracy of the proposed model.Experimental results on the MELD dataset show that TA-MERT outperforms earlier methods,achieving a weighted F1 score of 62.60%and an accuracy of 64.36%.Overall,the proposed TA-MERT model solves the GBN models’weaknesses in obtaining contextual data for ERC.TA-MERT model recognizes human emotions more accurately by employing text augmentation and transformer-based encoding.The balanced dataset and the additional training samples also enhance its resilience.These findings highlight the significance of transformer-based approaches for special emotion recognition in conversations.

BSTFNet:An Encrypted Malicious Traffic Classification Method Integrating Global Semantic and Spatiotemporal Features

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)model.At the byte-level granularity,we initially employ the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)model to extract temporal features from bytes,followed by the utilization of the Text Convolutional Neural Network(TextCNN)model with multi-sized convolution kernels to extract local multi-receptive field spatial features.The fusion of features from both granularities serves as the ultimate multidimensional representation of malicious traffic.Our approach achieves accuracy and F1-score of 99.39%and 99.40%,respectively,on the publicly available USTC-TFC2016 dataset,and effectively reduces sample confusion within the Neris and Virut categories.The experimental results demonstrate that our method has outstanding representation and classification capabilities for encrypted malicious traffic.

Classification of Conversational Sentences Using an Ensemble Pre-Trained Language Model with the Fine-Tuned Parameter

Sentence classification is the process of categorizing a sentence based on the context of the sentence.Sentence categorization requires more semantic highlights than other tasks,such as dependence parsing,which requires more syntactic elements.Most existing strategies focus on the general semantics of a conversation without involving the context of the sentence,recognizing the progress and comparing impacts.An ensemble pre-trained language model was taken up here to classify the conversation sentences from the conversation corpus.The conversational sentences are classified into four categories:information,question,directive,and commission.These classification label sequences are for analyzing the conversation progress and predicting the pecking order of the conversation.Ensemble of Bidirectional Encoder for Representation of Transformer(BERT),Robustly Optimized BERT pretraining Approach(RoBERTa),Generative Pre-Trained Transformer(GPT),DistilBERT and Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding(XLNet)models are trained on conversation corpus with hyperparameters.Hyperparameter tuning approach is carried out for better performance on sentence classification.This Ensemble of Pre-trained Language Models with a Hyperparameter Tuning(EPLM-HT)system is trained on an annotated conversation dataset.The proposed approach outperformed compared to the base BERT,GPT,DistilBERT and XLNet transformer models.The proposed ensemble model with the fine-tuned parameters achieved an F1_score of 0.88.

基于图卷积神经网络的古汉语分词研究

古汉语的语法有省略、语序倒置的特点,词法有词类活用、代词名词丰富的特点,这些特点增加了古汉语分词的难度,并带来严重的out-of-vocabulary(OOV)问题。目前,深度学习方法已被广泛地应用在古汉语分词任务中并取得了成功,但是这些研究更关注的是如何提高分词效果,忽视了分词任务中的一大挑战,即OOV问题。因此,本文提出了一种基于图卷积神经网络的古汉语分词框架,通过结合预训练语言模型和图卷积神经网络,将外部知识融合到神经网络模型中来提高分词性能并缓解OOV问题。在《左传》《战国策》和《儒林外史》3个古汉语分词数据集上的研究结果显示,本文模型提高了3个数据集的分词表现。进一步的研究分析证明,本文模型能够有效地融合词典和N-gram信息;特别是N-gram有助于缓解OOV问题。

Deep-BERT:Transfer Learning for Classifying Multilingual Offensive Texts on Social Media

Offensive messages on social media,have recently been frequently used to harass and criticize people.In recent studies,many promising algorithms have been developed to identify offensive texts.Most algorithms analyze text in a unidirectional manner,where a bidirectional method can maximize performance results and capture semantic and contextual information in sentences.In addition,there are many separate models for identifying offensive texts based on monolin-gual and multilingual,but there are a few models that can detect both monolingual and multilingual-based offensive texts.In this study,a detection system has been developed for both monolingual and multilingual offensive texts by combining deep convolutional neural network and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(Deep-BERT)to identify offensive posts on social media that are used to harass others.This paper explores a variety of ways to deal with multilin-gualism,including collaborative multilingual and translation-based approaches.Then,the Deep-BERT is tested on the Bengali and English datasets,including the different bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT)pre-trained word-embedding techniques,and found that the proposed Deep-BERT’s efficacy outperformed all existing offensive text classification algorithms reaching an accuracy of 91.83%.The proposed model is a state-of-the-art model that can classify both monolingual-based and multilingual-based offensive texts.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Synonymous Term Conversion:A Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers-Based Model for Converting Synonymous Terms in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Background:The medical records of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)contain numerous synonymous terms with different descriptions,which is not conducive to computer-aided data mining of TCM.However,there is a lack of models available to normalize synonymous TCM terms.Therefore,construction of a synonymous term conversion(STC)model for normalizing synonymous TCM terms is necessary.Methods:Based on the neural networks of bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT),four types of TCM STC models were designed:Models based on BERT and text classification,text sequence generation,named entity recognition,and text matching.The superior STC model was selected on the basis of its performance in converting synonymous terms.Moreover,three misjudgment inspection methods for the conversion results of the STC model based on inconsistency were proposed to find incorrect term conversion:Neuron random deactivation,output comparison of multiple isomorphic models,and output comparison of multiple heterogeneous models(OCMH).Results:The classification-based STC model outperformed the other STC task models.It achieved F1 scores of 0.91,0.91,and 0.83 for performing symptoms,patterns,and treatments STC tasks,respectively.The OCMH method showed the best performance in misjudgment inspection,with wrong detection rates of 0.80,0.84,and 0.90 in the term conversion results for symptoms,patterns,and treatments,respectively.Conclusion:The TCM STC model based on classification achieved superior performance in converting synonymous terms for symptoms,patterns,and treatments.The misjudgment inspection method based on OCMH showed superior performance in identifying incorrect outputs.

End-to-end aspect category sentiment analysis based on type graph convolutional networks

For the existing aspect category sentiment analysis research,most of the aspects are given for sentiment extraction,and this pipeline method is prone to error accumulation,and the use of graph convolutional neural network for aspect category sentiment analysis does not fully utilize the dependency type information between words,so it cannot enhance feature extraction.This paper proposes an end-to-end aspect category sentiment analysis(ETESA)model based on type graph convolutional networks.The model uses the bidirectional encoder representation from transformers(BERT)pretraining model to obtain aspect categories and word vectors containing contextual dynamic semantic information,which can solve the problem of polysemy;when using graph convolutional network(GCN)for feature extraction,the fusion operation of word vectors and initialization tensor of dependency types can obtain the importance values of different dependency types and enhance the text feature representation;by transforming aspect category and sentiment pair extraction into multiple single-label classification problems,aspect category and sentiment can be extracted simultaneously in an end-to-end way and solve the problem of error accumulation.Experiments are tested on three public datasets,and the results show that the ETESA model can achieve higher Precision,Recall and F1 value,proving the effectiveness of the model.

Effective short text classification via the fusion of hybrid features for IoT social data

Nowadays short texts can be widely found in various social data in relation to the 5G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT). Short text classification is a challenging task due to its sparsity and the lack of context. Previous studies mainly tackle these problems by enhancing the semantic information or the statistical information individually. However, the improvement achieved by a single type of information is limited, while fusing various information may help to improve the classification accuracy more effectively. To fuse various information for short text classification, this article proposes a feature fusion method that integrates the statistical feature and the comprehensive semantic feature together by using the weighting mechanism and deep learning models. In the proposed method, we apply Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to generate word vectors on the sentence level automatically, and then obtain the statistical feature, the local semantic feature and the overall semantic feature using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) weighting approach, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bidirectional Gate Recurrent Unit (BiGRU). Then, the fusion feature is accordingly obtained for classification. Experiments are conducted on five popular short text classification datasets and a 5G-enabled IoT social dataset and the results show that our proposed method effectively improves the classification performance.

A Novel Named Entity Recognition Scheme for Steel E-Commerce Platforms Using a Lite BERT

In the era of big data,E-commerce plays an increasingly important role,and steel E-commerce certainly occupies a positive position.However,it is very difficult to choose satisfactory steel raw materials from diverse steel commodities online on steel E-commerce platforms in the purchase of staffs.In order to improve the efficiency of purchasers searching for commodities on the steel E-commerce platforms,we propose a novel deep learning-based loss function for named entity recognition(NER).Considering the impacts of small sample and imbalanced data,in our NER scheme,the focal loss,the label smoothing,and the cross entropy are incorporated into a lite bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT)model to avoid the over-fitting.Moreover,through the analysis of different classic annotation techniques used to tag data,an ideal one is chosen for the training model in our proposed scheme.Experiments are conducted on Chinese steel E-commerce datasets.The experimental results show that the training time of a lite BERT(ALBERT)-based method is much shorter than that of BERT-based models,while achieving the similar computational performance in terms of metrics precision,recall,and F1 with BERT-based models.Meanwhile,our proposed approach performs much better than that of combining Word2Vec,bidirectional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM),and conditional random field(CRF)models,in consideration of training time and F1.

A Use Case of Patent Classification Using Deep Learning with Transfer Learning

Purpose:Patent classification is one of the areas in Intellectual Property Analytics(IPA),and a growing use case since the number of patent applications has been increasing worldwide.We propose using machine learning algorithms to classify Portuguese patents and evaluate the performance of transfer learning methodologies to solve this task.Design/methodology/approach:We applied three different approaches in this paper.First,we used a dataset available by INPI to explore traditional machine learning algorithms and ensemble methods.After preprocessing data by applying TF-IDF,FastText and Doc2Vec,the models were evaluated by cross-validation in 5 folds.In a second approach,we used two different Neural Networks architectures,a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and a bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM).Finally,we used pre-trained BERT,DistilBERT,and ULMFiT models in the third approach.Findings:BERTTimbau,a BERT architecture model pre-trained on a large Portuguese corpus,presented the best results for the task,even though with a performance of only 4%superior to a LinearSVC model using TF-IDF feature engineering.Research limitations:The dataset was highly imbalanced,as usual in patent applications,so the classes with the lowest samples were expected to present the worst performance.That result happened in some cases,especially in classes with less than 60 training samples.Practical implications:Patent classification is challenging because of the hierarchical classification system,the context overlap,and the underrepresentation of the classes.However,the final model presented an acceptable performance given the size of the dataset and the task complexity.This model can support the decision and improve the time by proposing a category in the second level of ICP,which is one of the critical phases of the grant patent process.Originality/value:To our knowledge,the proposed models were never implemented for Portuguese patent classification.
