To address these issues, this study proposed a novel hybrid multi-neural-network algorithm that integrates convolutional neural networks, long short-time memory, and residual networks to enhance both the accuracy and duration of cutting force prediction. Prior to model training, raw force signals are pre-processed using particle swarm optimization-based variational mode decomposition to effectively eliminate noise and reduce uncertainty. The training and testing datasets are derived from milling experiments conducted under varying cutting parameters, tool types, and sensor configurations to better emulate real-world industrial conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid model model can accurately predict cutting forces over a duration exceeding 1 s. The model's higher mean absolute error under varying test conditions suggests good robustness. The proposed data pre-processing phase contributes to a 6.38 % improvement in prediction accuracy. Furthermore, increasing the hyperparameter “timestep” helps mitigate overfitting, with only a minor trade-off in accuracy (less than 5 %).

Online transaction risk is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal behaviors, where their frequency surpasses a predefined threshold, resulting in measurable probabilities and consequences. Therefore, the assessment of online transaction risk heavily depends on probabilistic predictions of the accumulated frequency of abnormal behaviors, presenting two major challenges. Firstly, abnormal behaviors across different instances (e.g., behavior types, product categories, regions, and platforms) exhibit temporal correlations, such as co-occurrence and concomitance, which most probabilistic models fail to identify and utilize effectively. Additionally, these models do not fully address the real-time demands. To address these challenges, we propose a novel risk assessment framework based on Graph Neural Network (GNN) and probabilistic prediction, named GNN-Probformer. The framework uses Dynamic Time Warping to capture temporal correlations between abnormal behavior frequency sequences and constructs a graph structure through clustering. It then employs Graph Neural Networks to aggregate features and learn representations through a novel embedding module. A sparse self-attention mechanism and an efficient encoder–decoder architecture are incorporated to further enhance performance, while probabilistic predictions are generated through Monte Carlo sampling and cumulative distribution functions. Experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate that GNN-Probformer achieves substantial performance gains, with a 15% reduction in normalized deviation.
