As a mainstream method, multi-experts models achieve SOTA accuracy for tackling this problem, but the uncertainty in network learning and the complexity in fusion inference constrain the performance and practicality of the multi-experts models. To remedy this, we propose a novel dynamic collaborative learning with heterogeneous knowledge transfer model (DCHKT) in this paper, in which experts with different expertise collaborate to make predictions. DCHKT consists of two core components: dynamic adaptive weight adjustment and heterogeneous knowledge transfer learning. First, the dynamic adaptive weight adjustment is designed to shift the focus of model training between the global expert and domain experts via dynamic adaptive weight. By modulating the trade-off between the learning of features and classifier, the dynamic adaptive weight adjustment can enhance the discriminative ability of each expert and alleviate the uncertainty of model learning. Then, heterogeneous knowledge transfer learning, which measures the distribution differences between the fusion logits of multiple experts and the predicted logits of each expert with different specialties, can achieve message passing between experts and enhance the consistency of ensemble prediction in model training and inference to promote their collaborations. Finally, extensive experimental results on public long-tailed datasets: CIFAR-LT, ImageNet-LT, Place-LT and iNaturalist2018, demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our DCHKT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50367,"journal":{"name":"Information Fusion","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102734"},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142531894","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}

Therefore, the health status of these bearings directly influences the safe operation of the infrastructure. Accurate and reliable diagnosis of defects in these components minimizes downtime, reduces maintenance costs, and prevents major accidents, ultimately providing insights in the construction and management of a sustainable city. Typically, in actual industrial scenarios, varying working conditions and various types of machines can result in significant discrepancies in the distribution of sample data. Moreover, the non-negligible noise may degrade the diagnostic performance. Therefore, realizing an accurate and reliable bearing diagnosis considering the cross-domain and noise environment remains a challenge. Leveraging the merits of information fusion and multi-source domain transfer learning, this article proposes a multi-source domain feature-decision dual fusion adversarial transfer network (DFATN) to break through the aforesaid limitations. Initially, an adversarial transfer framework is developed, incorporating novel feature matching evaluation and joint distribution difference losses. This framework is designed to facilitate the learning of feature invariants across domains and to enhance the sharing of domain-specific knowledge, even in noise. Relying on channel-spatial interactive feature fusion, a multi-scale feature extractor (MFE) is constructed to share the interaction and enhance the modeling of complex features in multiple dimensions. Additionally, a fault state-related decision fusion mechanism (SDF) is also implemented to integrate diagnostic information, significantly enhancing the generalization performance and robustness of the proposed network. By employing both public Paderborn University (PU) and laboratory-collected (Lab) datasets, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed DFATN on bearing fault diagnosis are validated. For cross-working condition tasks, the proposed method realizes impressive performance, with average accuracies of 96.52% and 98.76% for Paderborn University (PU) and laboratory-collected (Lab) datasets, respectively. For cross-machine tasks, the average accuracy is 83.36%, outperforming other latest cross-domain fault diagnosis techniques.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50367,"journal":{"name":"Information Fusion","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102739"},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441316","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}

A digital twin is a virtual replica of the physical entity, with data connections in between. This technology has proven highly effective in several industries by improving decision-making and operational efficiency. In critical areas like healthcare, digital twins are increasingly being used to address the limitations of conventional approaches by creating virtual simulations of hospitals, medical equipment, patients, or even individual organs. These medical digital twins (MDT) revolutionize the healthcare industry by offering advanced solutions to enhance treatment outcomes and overall patient care. However, these systems are challenging because of the security and critical issues involved. Therefore, despite their achievements, the numerous security threats make it crucial to address the security challenges of digital twin technology. Given the lack of research on attacks targeting MDT functionalities, we concentrated on a specific cyber threat called adversarial attacks. Adversarial attacks exploit the model’s performance by introducing small, carefully crafted perturbations to manipulate the input data. To assess the vulnerability of medical digital twins to such attacks, we carried out a proof-of-concept study. Using image processing techniques and an artificial neural network model, we created a digital twin to diagnose breast cancer through thermography images. Then, we employed this digital twin to initiate an adversarial attack. For this purpose, we inserted adversarial perturbation as input to the trained model. Our results demonstrated the vulnerability of the digital twin model to adversarial attacks. To tackle this problem, we implemented an innovative modification to the digital twin’s architecture to enhance its robustness against various attacks. We proposed a novel defense method that fuses wavelet denoising and adversarial training, substantially strengthening the model’s resilience to adversarial attacks. Furthermore, the proposed digital twin is evaluated using a dataset of diabetic foot ulcers. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first defense method that makes the medical digital twin significantly robust against adversarial attacks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50367,"journal":{"name":"Information Fusion","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102728"},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446602","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}

With sustainability becoming a synonym of acceptable and legitimate behaviour, it is being increasingly demanded and regulated. Several frameworks and standards have been proposed to measure the sustainability impact of corporations, including United Nations’ sustainable development goals and the recently introduced global sustainability reporting framework, amongst others. However, the concept of corporate sustainability is complex due to the diverse and intricate nature of firm operations (<em>i.e.</em> geography, size, business activities, interlinks with other stakeholders). As a result, corporate sustainability assessments are plagued by subjectivity both within data that reflect corporate sustainability efforts (<em>i.e.</em> corporate sustainability disclosures) and the analysts evaluating them. This subjectivity can be distilled into distinct challenges, such as incompleteness, ambiguity, unreliability and sophistication on the data dimension, as well as limited resources and potential bias on the analyst dimension. Put together, subjectivity hinders effective cost attribution to entities non-compliant with prevailing sustainability expectations, potentially rendering sustainability efforts and its associated regulations futile. To this end, we argue that Explainable Natural Language Processing (XNLP) can significantly enhance corporate sustainability analysis. Specifically, linguistic understanding algorithms (lexical, semantic, syntactic), integrated with XAI capabilities (interpretability, explainability, faithfulness), can bridge gaps in analyst resources and mitigate subjectivity problems within data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50367,"journal":{"name":"Information Fusion","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102726"},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142532037","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}

It can expose the true feelings that someone is trying to hide and is seen to be a crucial indicator for spotting lies. Because of its possible applications in a variety of sectors, micro-expression research has garnered a lot of attention. The accuracy of micro-expression recognition still needs to be improved, though, because of the brief and weak motions that make up micro-expressions. In recent years, Deep convolution neural methods have depicted a higher degree of efficiency for complex challenge of face detection. Although several attempts were made for micro-expression recognition (MER), the problem is far from being resolved problem which is portrayed by the lowest accuracy rate depicted by the other models. In this study, present a Facial Micro-Expression Detection and Classification using Modified Multimodal Ensemble Learning (FMEDC-MMEL) approach. The major intention of the FMEDC-MMEL technique lies in the proficient identification of MEs that exist in the facial images. As a pre-processing phase, the FMEDC-MMEL technique exploits histogram equalization (HE) approach to improve the contrast level of the image. In the FMEDC-MMEL technique, improved densely connected networks (DenseNet) model is used for learning feature patterns from the pre-processed images. To enhance the proficiency of the improved DenseNet model, stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approach is used for hyperparameter selection process. For facial ME detection, the FMEDC-MMEL technique follows an ensemble of three classifiers namely bi-directional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU), long short-term memory (LSTM) and extreme learning machine (ELM). A tailored ensemble learning approach is shown, which combines many machine learning models to improve classification performance and detection accuracy. Sophisticated feature extraction methods are utilized to extract the subtle aspects of micro-expressions, and precision is maintained by optimizations that minimize computing cost. Empirical findings reveal that this methodology notably surpasses conventional techniques, providing enhanced precision and resilience on a variety of complex and demanding datasets.

To mitigate those risks, one must consider the precision of the image analysis outcomes (e.g., image segmentation), along with the confidence in the underlying model predictions. U-shaped architectures, based on the convolutional encoder–decoder, have established themselves as a critical component of many AI-enabled diagnostic imaging systems. However, most of the existing methods focus on producing accurate diagnostic predictions without assessing the uncertainty associated with such predictions or the introduced techniques. Uncertainty maps highlight areas in the predicted segmented results, where the model is uncertain or less confident. This could lead radiologists to pay more attention to ensuring patient safety and pave the way for trustworthy AI applications. In this paper, we therefore propose the Attention-guided Hierarchical Fusion U-Net (named AHF-U-Net) for medical image segmentation. We then introduce the uncertainty-aware version of it called UA-AHF-U-Net which provides the uncertainty map alongside the predicted segmentation map. The network is designed by integrating the Encoder Attention Fusion module (EAF) and the Decoder Attention Fusion module (DAF) on the encoder and decoder sides of the U-Net architecture, respectively. The EAF and DAF modules utilize spatial and channel attention to capture relevant spatial information and indicate which channels are appropriate for a given image. Furthermore, an enhanced skip connection is introduced and named the Hierarchical Attention-Enhanced (HAE) skip connection. We evaluated the efficiency of our model by comparing it with eleven well-established methods for three popular medical image segmentation datasets consisting of coarse-grained images with unclear boundaries.
