Given that the optimal number of protection layers is uncertain, resource optimization presents a complex variable-dimensional nonlinear problem. To solve this, this paper proposes a Dimension-Partitioned Variable-Length Genetic Algorithm (DP-VLGA). The algorithm employs a hybrid variable-length encoding strategy to map protection layers, spatial layout, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) resource allocation onto variable-length chromosomes, enabling the adaptive evolution of protection configurations. To overcome premature convergence common in variable-dimensional search spaces, a dimension-partitioned solution pool management mechanism is introduced. Furthermore, an adaptive alignment-based crossover operator is developed to ensures physical validity during gene exchange across different dimensions. Experimental results demonstrate that DP-VLGA adaptively generates optimal protection configurations under varying approach intensities. Compared to other variable-dimensional optimization algorithms, the proposed method exhibits significant advantages in search accuracy and convergence stability, achieving higher control probabilities with lower resource consumption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"287 ","pages":"Pages 256-263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148981003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This novel mathematical index evaluates the synergy between cognitive reasoning and physical determinism by integrating three critical dimensions: causal traceability, vertical completeness, and cumulative latency. To validate this metric, we implement the <strong>Modular Explainable Contextual Agentic (MECA)</strong> framework, an architecture designed to bridge high-level AI intent with real-time robotic execution. The framework’s core novelty lies in the coupling of Timed Petri Nets for formal safety verification and ROS2/DDS for deterministic communication. Preliminary results from a numerical case study in a robotic polishing cell demonstrate that the MECA framework achieves a tenfold increase in architectural efficiency (I<sub>AEA</sub> ≈ 0.65) compared to baseline models (I<sub>AEA</sub> ≈ 0.06).

The results indicate that executives’ social media presence significantly reduces stock price synchronicity, thereby enhancing capital market pricing efficiency. This finding supports the information effect hypothesis, suggesting that executives disclose firm-specific information through social media, which effectively mitigates information asymmetry between firms and investors. Consequently, stock prices are enabled to more accurately reflect the intrinsic and independent value of the enterprise. Endogeneity tests further confirm the robustness of these conclusions after controlling for reverse causality.

The experimental evaluation was conducted on a real-world scientific dataset comprising 4,505 samples across five disciplines. The performance of the proposed stacking model was benchmarked against four individual models and two simple ensemble methods (soft voting and weighted average). The results indicate that SVC exhibits the best adaptability to high-dimensional, sparse short-text features. Furthermore, ensemble models consistently outperformed individual models. Notably, the effectiveness of the stacking ensemble is determined by the quality and complementarity of the base models rather than their quantity. The proposed Stacking model achieved the highest classification performance, reaching an accuracy of 0.9024 on the test set.

Grounded in Cognitive-Affective Theory, this study investigates the influence of visual clickbait on click intention and its underlying psychological mechanisms. Empirical results indicate that visual clickbait significantly enhances user click intention. Mediation analysis reveals a competitive mediation mechanism: although visual clickbait exerts a suppressive effect by lowering perceived credibility, it more strongly promotes behavior by stimulating curiosity, resulting in a net positive impact. Furthermore, image-title congruence serves as a moderator. Counter-intuitively, the promotional effect of visual clickbait on click intention is amplified under low congruence conditions.

To address these challenges, this paper proposes WheatLSNet-v2, a single-kernel wheat defect classification model based on local enhancement and auxiliary supervision. Built upon the ResNet50 backbone, the proposed model introduces an HSV auxiliary branch to enhance the representation of subtle color anomalies, a local enhancement module to strengthen the response to small defect-sensitive regions, and a global-local collaborative fusion mechanism to improve the complementarity between high-level semantic features and local discriminative cues. An auxiliary classification head is further attached to the local branch during training to explicitly improve the category discriminability of intermediate local features. Experimental results show that the final model achieves 93.87% accuracy and 93.64% Macro-F1 on the validation set, outperforming the baseline ResNet50 by 3.07 and 3.12 percentage points, respectively. Comparative and ablation experiments further demonstrate that the HSV auxiliary branch and auxiliary supervision strategy both contribute positively to performance improvement, while the Shape Prior module does not provide stable gains and is therefore excluded from the final model.
