Despite the growing demand, this field suffers from a scarcity of well-established methodologies and public large-scale datasets. This paper tackles these challenges with a focus on Chinese handwritten phrases. First, we propose DOLPHIN, a novel retrieval model designed to enhance handwriting representations through synergistic temporal-frequency analysis. For frequency feature learning, we propose the HFGA block, which performs gated cross-attention between the vanilla temporal handwriting sequence and its high-frequency sub-bands to amplify salient writing details. For temporal feature learning, we propose the CAIR block, tailored to promote channel interaction and reduce channel redundancy. Second, to address data deficit, we introduce OLIWER, a large-scale online writer retrieval dataset encompassing over 670,000 Chinese handwritten phrases from 1,731 individuals. Through extensive evaluations, we demonstrate the superior performance of DOLPHIN over existing methods. In addition, we explore cross-domain writer retrieval and reveal the pivotal role of increasing feature alignment in bridging the distributional gap between different handwriting data. Our findings emphasize the significance of point sampling frequency and pressure features in improving handwriting representation quality and retrieval performance.

However, existing blockchains encounter significant challenges in scenarios that demand efficient retrieval of big data. This is primarily because current blockchains cannot directly store and process diverse types of rich media information. Additionally, the semantic relationships between data within the blockchains are weak, complicating the categorization and retrieval of data and transactions. Moreover, the scalability of current blockchains is limited, with the capacity of full nodes continually increasing. Although some semantic-based blockchain solutions that combine off-chain scalability have been proposed, they are limited in effectiveness and applications. To address these issues, this paper introduces a brand-new blockchain sharding technique called Semantic Sharding, which enhances blockchain scalability through a hybrid on/off-chain approach. Building on this, we propose a semantic sharding blockchain architecture, SemantiChain, which enables the on-chain storage and retrieval of transaction semantic features. Furthermore, through the Po2RW consensus protocol, we balance the scalability and security of SemantiChain. Security analysis proves that SemantiChain can resist security risks such as man-in-the-middle attacks, malicious node attacks and on/off-chain data inconsistency. Experimental results demonstrate that SemantiChain can reduce search time and memory usage by at least 32.29% and 77.97% respectively under the same retrieval performance, compared to mainstream approximate nearest neighbour retrieval algorithms. Furthermore, compared to the SOTA semantic blockchain, SemantiChain achieves a retrieval performance improvement of at least 45.88% and reduces retrieval memory usage by 95.76%.","PeriodicalId":13492,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security","volume":"19 ","pages":"10339-10354"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142580152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional Deep Learning methods, relying predominantly on fixed learning rates, encounter limitations when capturing the nuanced intricacies of OSN traffic that arise from shifting user behaviors, diverse content types, and evolving interaction patterns because of social trending topics changes. To tackle these challenges, our paper delves into the diverse variations and transitions from a uniform approach, where a single method is employed for various types of data, to a multi-variation methodology. This methodology dynamically adapts to the special characteristics of each data type, resulting in more effective data representation while alleviating the limitations associated with fixed-rate calibration. Therefore, we devise the Adaptive Swarm Reinforcement Learning (ASRL) method that leverages adaptive learning to intricately analyze a wide range of user interactions, endowing our proposed method with the capacity to flexibly adjust to the constantly shifting OSN patterns. The experiments show that the proposed ASRL method achieves an accuracy of 98.59% in detecting a range of threat patterns, surpassing other prevalent methods by an average of 5% across the datasets from Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. Meanwhile, ASRL logs suspicious activities to identify the intruder for forensic analysis.
