However, the relations of realistic knowledge graphs (KGs) usually have long-tailed distributions, posing a great challenge in inferring new triples of task relationships from a limited number of triples. To tackle this challenge, methodologies for few-shot knowledge graph completion (FKGC) have been devised. These approaches employ a limited set of reference triples to forecast novel triples for various relations. However, existing FKGC approaches suffer from the drawbacks of not fully utilizing the structural information in KGs and ignoring the fine-grained information of interactions between entity pairs. In this paper, a FKGC model with neighbor filter and affine attention (NFAA) is proposed. The NFAA model filters 2-hop neighbors into a neighborhood scope for an entity aggregator and constructs a relation generator utilizing the affine attention mechanism to efficiently infer new triples for the few-shot relation task. Evaluations are performed using two publicly available benchmark datasets: NELL-one and Wiki-one. Experimental results validate the superiority of the NFAA model relative to several state-of-the-art approaches.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"12308-12320"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10840224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in high-speed mobile environments, the channel has fast time-varying, which significantly decreases the property of channel estimation. On the other hand, the frame structure of the IEEE 802.11p standard contains a few number of pilots and a large pilot interval, which is not sufficient to track the rapidly changing channel environment accurately. In recent years, deep learning has been widely used for channel estimation. However, these methods typically perform poorly in high-speed mobility scenarios or have excessively high computational complexity. To alleviate such issues, this study proposes a channel estimation method by combining the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). In addition, this paper adds the attention mechanism to GRU to improve the robustness of the model. The computer simulation results confirm that, compared to traditional schemes, the proposed estimator can achieve a lower bit error rate (BER) and normalized mean squared error (NMSE). At the same time, the computational complexity of the algorithm has been reduced to some extent, allowing the estimator to complete the channel estimation faster. This study provides a useful reference for optimizing neural networks and thus improving the performance of channel estimators.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"12332-12342"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10840182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel hybrid model that integrates matrix factorization with additional features. Furthermore, it leverages weighted similarity measures and employs advanced log-likelihood text mining techniques. These innovations are designed to tackle cold-start problems and sparsity issues while compensating for information loss to mitigate errors. Under the premise that our model employs consistent evaluation metrics and datasets, comparative analysis against existing models from related literature demonstrates superior performance. Specifically, our model achieves a lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.82 and 0.88, alongside a higher F1 score of 0.94 and 0.92 in two datasets.

Instrument tracking, in particular, is critical for enhancing the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery, where direct visibility is often limited. Real-time tracking of surgical instruments allows for more accurate maneuvering, reduces the risk of accidental tissue damage, and enables the development of advanced computer-assisted surgical systems. In this context, advancements in deep learning, particularly through detection models and modern tracking algorithms, have opened new avenues for addressing the challenges posed by real-time laparoscopic instrument tracking. However, according to the preliminary results, the existing combination of the detection model and tracking algorithm could not often handle the remaining challenges, including fast-motion speed, occlusion, overlapping, and close proximity of surgical instruments. This paper proposes a novel two-point association approach for surgical instrument tracking using a combination of YOLOv11 for object detection and refined ByteTrack for tracking. The proposed system is evaluated on a comprehensive dataset of surgical videos. The experimental results demonstrate superior performance in terms of segmentation accuracy (via F1-score), tracking robustness (via MOTA and HOTA), and real-time processing speed (via FPS). In order to validate the effectiveness of this research, real-time surgical instrument tracking is performed with the streaming of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery on a donated soft-tissue cadaver. The results indicate that the proposed system significantly improves the segmentation and tracking of surgical instruments, offering a reliable tool for enhancing intraoperative navigation and reducing the risk of surgical errors. This work contributes to the advancement of intelligent surgical systems, providing a foundation for further integration of machine learning techniques in the operating room.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"12225-12238"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10840191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on industrial and business tariff customers, using a dataset from 2019 to 2023, which includes monthly consumption data from PLN’s postpaid customers across thirty operational units with the highest Electricity Use Control (P2TL) levels, covering customers with a maximum power of 6,600 VA. This approach differs from previous studies that rely on open or smart meter data, as this study uses conventional meters for data collection. In the dataset used for this research, losses from confirmed electricity theft amounted to approximately IDR 19 billion. This research aims to improve the detection of electricity theft through a machine learning-based model utilizing the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification technique. The goal is to enhance the P2TL mechanism by accurately identifying potential targets for field verification. Various SVM kernels were tested, including Radial Basis Function (RBF), Linear, Polynomial (Poly), and Sigmoid, alongside classifiers such as SVM, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Naïve Bayes. Results show that the SVM model, particularly with the RBF kernel, achieves optimal performance, with balanced precision and recall, especially with 30 months of historical data. This optimized model contributes to improving PLN’s operational efficiency, offering more accurate identification of electricity theft cases, leading to substantial financial savings by reducing losses from unpaid consumption. The findings offer practical benefits for reducing electricity theft and improving PLN’s monitoring system, especially in industrial and business sectors.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"12388-12398"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10840176","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this poses a challenge when utilized in resource-limited environments, such as mobile devices, particularly when trying to preserve the network’s performance. To address this problem, structured pruning has been widely studied as it effectively reduces the network with little impact on performance. To enhance a model’s performance with limited resources, it is crucial to 1) utilize all available resources and 2) maximize performance within these limitations. However, existing pruning methods often require iterations of training and pruning or many experiments to find hyperparameters that satisfy a given budget or forcibly truncate parameters with a given budget, resulting in performance loss. To solve this problem, we propose a novel channel pruning method called Tailored Channel Pruning. Given a target budget (e.g., FLOPs and parameters), our method outputs a tailored network that automatically takes the budget into account during training and satisfies the target budget. During the integrated training and pruning process, our method adaptively controls sparsity regularization and selects important weights that can help maximize the accuracy within the target budget. Through various experiments on the CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and achieve state-of-the-art accuracy after pruning.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"12113-12126"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10840184","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these limitations, this study introduces an improved error signal candidate selection algorithm that focuses on residual signals and channel matrix characteristics to refine the signal estimation result. Through iterative refinement using low-complexity detectors such as those based on zero-forcing (ZF), and minimum-mean-square error (MMSE), our method substantially narrows the search space for the MLD, thus striking a balance between demodulation performance and computational efficiency.

Thus, they tend to overlook global image statistics, ultimately leading to unconvincing local style editing and causing global inconsistencies such as color or illumination distribution shifts. Also, SPADE layers require the semantic segmentation mask for mapping styles in the generator, preventing shape manipulations without manual intervention.

However, in freeway diverging areas, excessively long truck platoons can cause a blocking effect on small vehicles exiting the freeway, thereby causing congestion and impacting the traffic flow in the section. Therefore, to balance the benefits between truck platoons and small vehicles, a comprehensive evaluation model was established, considering traffic efficiency, safety, and fuel economy. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was employed to determine the importance of each indicator, resulting in a composite score. Using the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) platform, this paper examines the effects of truck platoon size (ranging from 2 to 15 trucks) on traffic efficiency, safety, and fuel consumption under varying conditions. The analysis considers low, medium, and high small vehicle traffic volumes of 750, 1200, and 1650 pcu/h/lane, as well as off-ramp probabilities for small vehicles of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. Simulation results indicate that traffic efficiency initially increases and then decreases as the truck platoon size increases. An increase in the number of truck platoon members leads to a decrease in section safety, particularly noticeable under medium and high flow conditions. In three flow scenarios, truck platoon size of more than 5 trucks can achieve higher fuel economy. Taking an off-ramp probability of 10% for small vehicles as an example, the optimal truck platoon size ranges from 3 to 8 vehicles under low flow conditions, 2 to 7 vehicles under medium flow conditions, and 2 to 6 vehicles under high flow conditions. Hence, traffic managers in freeway diverging areas can utilize the findings of this study to select suitable truck-platoon size, enabling them to implement preemptive adjustment strategies for achieving optimal comprehensive performance.","PeriodicalId":13079,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Access","volume":"13 ","pages":"10299-10310"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10838520","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
