To address these challenges, deep learning-based modulation mode recognition technique is investigated in this paper for low-speed asynchronous sampled signals under channel conditions with varying SNR and delay. Firstly, the low-speed asynchronous sampled signals are modeled, and their in-phase quadrature components are used to generate a two-dimensional asynchronous in-phase quadrature histogram.

In this work, considering the difference between whole field of view (FoV) and viewer-selected viewport, distortion features from both global and local perspectives are extracted, and a blind HOIQM is proposed. Specifically, because different regions have different projections in SSP projection, we have constructed the optimal bivariate response pair in the equatorial region and bipolar region according to their projection direction, and parameters in the BGGD based-spatial oriented correlation model are extracted as global statistical features. Meanwhile, combined with the visual perception for HOI, the key blocks are determined in equatorial region, and the local statistical characteristics of the key blocks are extracted by analyzing the distribution of multiscale structure information. Finally, the global and local features are regressed by SVR to obtain the final HOI quality.

However, complex spatial–temporal dependencies, heterogeneity, dynamicity, and periodicity of traffic data influence the traffic forecasting performance. Consequently, we propose a novel effective gated spatial–temporal merged transformer (GSTMT) inspired by multimask and dual branch for accurate traffic forecasting in this paper. Specifically, we first conduct a concatenation of gated spatial static mask transformer (GSSMT) and gated spatial dynamic mask transformer (GSDMT) with residual network. The GSSMT and GSDMT evolve from the traditional transformer by making preferable modifications that include gated linear unit (GLU), multimask mechanism including static mask matrix (SMM) and dynamic mask matrix (DMM), and spatial attention (SA). Among them, GLU is to promote the performance of capturing spatial dependency, dynamicity, and heterogeneity due to advanced performance for controlling information flow through layers. Additionally, by developing multimask mechanism including two novel SMM and DMM, the proposed GSTMT can precisely model the static and dynamic spatial structure for effectively highlighting static dependency and dynamicity. And SA is injected for enhancing the ability of capturing spatial dependency of GSSMT and GSDMT. Secondly, we develop a dual-branch gated temporal transformer (DBGTT) for capturing temporal dependency, heterogeneity, dynamicity, and periodicity via incorporating the GLU and mixed time series decomposition (MTD) into traditional transformer. Similarly, we also introduce the GLU for empowering DBGTT with capability of capturing temporal dependency, dynamicity, and heterogeneity. In addition, MTD, which brings dual-branch mechanism, can enhance the DBGTT for capturing more detailed temporal information via exploiting global and periodic profile of traffic data.

To tackle these problems, we propose a weight control unit (WCU) to effectively manage the position of portfolio management in different market statuses. A loss penalty term is also designed in the reward function to prevent sharp drawdown during trading. Moreover, stock spatial interrelation representing the correlation between two different stocks is captured by a graph convolution network based on fundamental data.

Both spatial and temporal interrelation work for better feature extraction from historical data and also make the model more interpretable.
