Therefore, this paper proposed a new causality analysis method based on Peter-Clark (PC) algorithm and modified local Granger causality (MLGC) analysis method, called PC-MLGC, to reveal the causal relationships between variables and explore the dynamic properties on temporal distribution. First, the PC algorithm is applied to compute the relevant variables of each variable. Then, the results obtained in the previous stage are fed into the modified local Granger causality analysis model to explore causalities between variables. Finally, combined with the quantitative causality analysis results, the dynamic characteristic curves between variables can be obtained, and the accuracy of the causal relationship between variables can be further verified.

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is an unsupervised learning process that utilizes bio-plausibility based on the relative timing of pre/post-synaptic spikes of neurons. Integrated with STDP, SNNs perform well consuming less energy. However, it is hard to ensure that synaptic weights always converge to values guaranteeing accurate prediction because STDP does not change synaptic weights with supervision. To address this limitation, researchers have proposed mechanisms for inducing STDP to converge synaptic weights on the proper values referring to current synaptic weights. Thus, if the current weights fail to describe proper synaptic connections, they cannot induce STDP to update synaptic weights properly. To solve this problem, we propose an adaptive mechanism that helps STDP to converge synaptic weights directly based on input data features: Adaptive synaptic template (AST). AST leads synaptic weights to describe synaptic connections according to the data features. It prevents STDP from changing synaptic weights based on abnormal weights that fail to describe the proper synaptic connections. This is because it does not use the current synaptic weights that can disturb proper weight convergence. We integrate AST with an SNN and conduct experiments to compare it with a baseline (the SNN without AST) and benchmarks (previous works to improve STDP). Our experimental results show that the SNN using AST classifies various data sets with 6%–39% higher accuracy than the baseline and benchmarks.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55228,"journal":{"name":"Computational Intelligence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142449154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve these problems, we propose a new session-based recommendation method, TCSR (self-attention with time and category for session-based recommendation).

Precisely predicting travel time across different urban areas is vital, and an essential requirement for these privileges is having fine-grained knowledge of the city. In contrast to prior studies that are restricted to coarse-grained data, we broaden the scope of traffic flow forecasting to fine granularity, which provokes explicit challenges: (1) the prevalence of inter-grid transitions within fine-grained data introduces complexity in capturing spatial dependencies among grid cells on a global scale. (2) stemming from dynamic temporal dependencies. To address these challenges, we propose the multi-scaling hybrid model (MSHM) as a novel approach. Initially, a multi-directional convolutional layer is first used to acquire high-level depictions for each cell to retrieve the semantic attributes of the road network from local and global aspects. Next, we incorporate the characteristics of the road network and coarse-grained flow features to regularize the local and global spatial distribution modeling of road-relative traffic flow using an enhanced deep super-resolution (EDSR) technique. Benefiting from the EDSR method, our approach can generate high-quality fine-grained traffic flow maps. Furthermore, to continuously provide accurate TTE over time by leveraging well-designed multi-scale feature modeling, we incorporate a multi-scale feature expression of each road segment, capturing intricate details and important features at different scales to optimize the TTE.

This research develops a system using motion sensors in smartphones to identify unusual human activities. People's smartphones were employed to monitor both suspicious and regular activities. Information was collected for various actions categorized as either suspicious or regular. When a person performs a certain action, the smartphone records a series of sensory data, analyse important patterns from the basic data, and then determines what the person is doing by combining information from different sensors. To prepare the data, information from different sensors was aligned to a shared timeline.
