This requirement presents a significant challenge due to the labor-intensive and costly nature of manual annotation, especially in specialized domains such as medicine and finance. To address data scarcity, two strategies have emerged as effective: (1) Active Learning (AL), which autonomously identifies samples that would most enhance model performance if annotated, and (2) data augmentation, which automatically generates new samples. However, while AL reduces human effort, it does not eliminate it entirely, and data augmentation often leads to incomplete and noisy annotations, presenting new hurdles in NER model training. In this study, we integrate AL principles into a data augmentation framework, named Active Learning-based Data Augmentation for NER (ALDANER), to prioritize the selection of informative samples from an augmented pool and mitigate the impact of noisy annotations.

Vibration produces sound, we usually associate visual objects with their sound, i.e., we hear footsteps from a walking person, and hear a jangle from one running bell. It comes naturally to think about using multimodal information (image–audio–text vs audio merely), to strengthen sound event detection (SED) accuracies and decrease sound source localization (SSL) errors.

However, most existing works formulate the SFC orchestration problem in MEC with deterministic demands and costly runtime resource reprovisioning to handle dynamic demands. This paper introduces a Robust Deadline-aware network function Parallelization framework under Demand Uncertainty (RDPDU) designed to address the challenges posed by unpredictable fluctuations in user demand and resource availability within MEC networks. RDPDU to consider end-to-end latency for SFC assembly by modeling load-dependent processing latency and load-independent propagation latency. Also, RDPDU formulates the problem assuming uncertain demand by Quadratic Integer Programming (QIP) to be resistant to dynamic service demand fluctuations. By discovering dependencies between VNFs, the RDPDU effectively assembles multiple sub-SFCs instead of the original SFC. Finally, our framework uses Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to assemble sub-SFCs with guaranteed latency and deadline. By integrating DRL into the SFC orchestration problem, the framework adapts to changing network conditions and demand patterns, improving the overall system's flexibility and robustness. Experimental evaluations show that the proposed framework can effectively deal with demand fluctuations, latency, deadline, and scalability and improve performance against recent algorithms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49939,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge-Based Systems","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 112696"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594096","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}

However, existing MRL methods still have two issues: (1) They typically perform various consistency objectives within the feature space, which might discard complementary information contained in each view. (2) Some methods only focus on handling inter-view relationships while ignoring inter-sample relationships that are also valuable for downstream tasks. To address these issues, we propose a novel Multi-view representation learning method with Dual-label Collaborative Guidance (MDCG). Specifically, we fully excavate and utilize valuable semantic and graph information hidden in multi-view data to collaboratively guide the learning process of MRL. By learning consistent semantic labels from distinct views, our method enhances intrinsic connections across views while preserving view-specific information, which contributes to learning the consistent and complementary unified representation. Moreover, we integrate similarity matrices of multiple views to construct graph labels that indicate inter-sample relationships. With the idea of self-supervised contrastive learning, graph structure information implied in graph labels is effectively captured by the unified representation, thus enhancing its discriminability.

To address this gap, we propose a parallax-motion collaboration network (PMCN) that integrates parallax and motion information for efficient stereo video fog removal. We delicately design a parallax-motion collaboration block (PMCB) as the critical component of PMCN. Firstly, to capture binocular parallax correspondences more efficiently, we introduce a window-based parallax attention mechanism (W-PAM) in the parallax interaction module (PIM) of PMCB. By horizontally splitting the whole frame into multiple windows and extracting parallax relationships within each window, memory usage and runtime can be reduced. Meanwhile, we further conduct horizontal feature modulation to handle cross-window disparity variations. Secondly, a motion alignment module (MAM) based on deformable convolution explores the temporal correlation in the feature space for an independent view. Finally, we propose a fog-adaptive refinement module (FARM) to refine the features after interaction and alignment. FARM incorporates fog prior information and guides the network in dynamically generating processing kernels for dehazing to adapt to different fog scenarios. Quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate that the proposed PMCN outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both synthetic and real-world datasets. In addition, our PMCN also benefits the accuracy improvement for high-level vision tasks in fog scenes, e.g., object detection and stereo matching.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49939,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge-Based Systems","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 112681"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594094","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}

Traditional recommendation systems typically focus on modeling target behaviors between users and items. However, in practical application scenarios, various types of behaviors (e.g., click, favorite, purchase, etc.) occur between users and items. Despite recent efforts in modeling various behavior types, multi-behavior recommendation still faces two significant challenges. The first challenge is how to comprehensively capture the complex relationships between various types of behaviors, including their interest differences and interest commonalities. The second challenge is how to solve the sparsity of target behaviors while ensuring the authenticity of information from various types of behaviors. To address these issues, a multi-behavior recommendation framework based on Multi-View Multi-Behavior Interest Learning Network and Contrastive Learning (MMNCL) is proposed. This framework includes a multi-view multi-behavior interest learning module that consists of two submodules: the behavior difference aware submodule, which captures intra-behavior interests for each behavior type and the correlations between various types of behaviors, and the behavior commonality aware submodule, which captures the information of interest commonalities between various types of behaviors. Additionally, a multi-view contrastive learning module is proposed to conduct node self-discrimination, ensuring the authenticity of information integration among various types of behaviors, and facilitating an effective fusion of interest differences and interest commonalities.

This study focuses on early fault diagnosis in dry friction clutch systems using machine learning (ML) techniques. Vibration data is analyzed under different load and fault conditions, extracting statistical, histogram, and auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) features. Feature selection employs the J48 decision tree algorithm, evaluated with eight ML classifiers: support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), linear model tree (LMT), random forest (RF), multilayer perceptron (MLP), logistic regression (LR), J48, and Naive Bayes. The evaluation revealed that individual classifiers achieved the highest testing accuracies with statistical feature selection as 83% for both MLP and LR at no load, 90% for MLP at 5 kg, and 93% for KNN at 10 kg. For histogram feature selection, KNN and MLP both reached 85% at no load, MLP achieved 91% at 5 kg, and RF attained 97% at 10 kg. With ARMA feature selection, KNN reached 93% at no load, LR achieved 94% at 5 kg, and RF reached 86% at 10 kg.

Hence, a combination of three classifiers using the majority voting rule consistently outperforms standalone classifiers, striking a balance between diversity and complexity, facilitating robust decision-making.
