To mitigate this, this paper proposes a novel blind image quality assessment (IQA) method for in-the-wild images, termed DPSF, which integrates Distorted Patch Selection and multi-scale and multi-granularity feature Fusion. Specifically, it is first explained that the distributions of the mean subtracted contrast normalized coefficients of distorted patches differ from those of undistorted patches. Building upon this, an effective strategy for distorted patch selection is devised. Subsequently, a hybrid Transformer-convolutional neural network (CNN) module is proposed to exploit the benefits of both Transformer and CNN for distortion perception, in which the long-range dependencies of the selected patches are considered. Finally, an effective fusion module is employed for image quality evaluation, amalgamating finer and richer semantic and distortion features from multiple scales and granularities.

However, current deep learning-based methods lack reasonable interpretability and suffer from certain spectral and spatial distortions.

IID decomposes the multispectral image into a reflectance component and a shading component to formulate a novel variational optimization function. The reflectance and shading components effectively reflect spectral and spatial information, respectively. This decoupling strategy enhances feature fidelity by preventing interference between spectral and spatial information, enabling independent optimization of spatial reconstruction and spectral correction during fusion. The optimization function is solved by the half-quadratic splitting method and unfolded into the end-to-end DUN-IID, which consists of two primal update blocks for prior learning and two dual update blocks for reconstruction. To alleviate the effects of information loss across intermediate stages, we introduce the source images into two primal update blocks for information enhancement. Therefore, the reflectance and shading primal update blocks are customized as a multi-scale structure and a band-aware construction, respectively.

So, this paper proposes the CABiLSTM-BERT model, which aims to fully leverage implicit features at each layer to address this information loss problem and improve accuracy. The CABiLSTM-BERT model employs a frozen BERT pre-trained model to extract text word vector features, reducing overfitting and accelerating training. These word vectors are then processed through CABiLSTM, which preserves implicit feature representations of input sequences and LSTMs in each direction and layer. The model applies convolution to merge all features into a set of embedding representations after highlighting important features through multi-head self-attention calculations for each feature group. This approach minimizes information loss and maximizes utilization of important implicit feature information at each layer. Finally, the feature representations undergo average pooling before passing through the sentiment classification layer for polarity prediction. The effectiveness of the CABiLSTM-BERT model is validated using five publicly available real-world datasets and evaluated using metrics such as accuracy and Macro-F1.

Based on that, a new cross-domain fault diagnosis method for mechanical is proposed in this paper, called multiscale adaptive graph adversarial network(MAGAN). MAGAN consists of a feature extractor, domain adaptation module, and classifier. In the feature extractor, a hierarchical residual multiscale graph learning module is employed to obtain rich features, an adaptive graph learning module is utilized to learn differentiated representations of specific scale structures, and a multiscale fusion module is applied to facilitate the collaboration of different scale features. After that, the domain adaptation module aids the feature extractor in learning transferable features by constructing a measure of subdomain feature structure discrepancy and adversarial domain discriminator. The classifier is then utilized for cross-domain fault diagnosis on the extracted transferable features. Finally, the proposed MAGAN is evaluated using 3 cross-machine transfer scenarios based on a scaled-down test rig for wind turbine gearbox and 12 cross-operating conditions transfer scenarios based on a published bearing dataset.
