The Transformer-based fusion methods can well compensate for the above problems, however, the Transformer has quadratic computational complexity and huge GPU memory consumption. The recent Mamba model based on the selection state space has a strong ability to model long sequences, lower GPU memory occupancy, and fewer GFLOPs. It is thus attractive and worth studying to apply Mamba to the cross-view image geolocation task. In addition, in the image-matching process (i.e., fusion of satellite/aerial and street view data.), we found that the storage occupancy of similarity measures based on floating-point features is high. Efficiently converting floating-point features into hash codes is a possible solution. In this study, we propose a cross-view image geolocation method (S6HG) based purely on Vision Mamba and hashing. S6HG fully utilizes the advantages of Vision Mamba in global information modeling and explicit location information encoding and the low storage occupancy of hash codes. Our method consists of two stages. In the first stage, we use a Siamese network based purely on vision Mamba to embed features for street view images and satellite images respectively. Our first-stage model is called S6G. In the second stage, we construct a cross-view autoencoder to further refine and compress the embedded features, and then simply map the refined features to hash codes. Comprehensive experiments show that S6G has achieved superior results on the CVACT dataset and comparable results to the most advanced methods on the CVUSA dataset. It is worth noting that other floating-point feature-based methods (4096-dimension) are 170.59 times faster than S6HG (768-bit) in storing 90,618 retrieval gallery data.

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.

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.

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.

The framework comprises three key components designed for learning cross-domain knowledge: the Debiased Base Learning strategy, Knowledge Acquisition, and Knowledge Update.
