To overcome limitations in the existing Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods for time-series, such as reliance on negative sample pairs and the potential disruption of temporal structure by data augmentation, a Soft Whitening inspired non-contrastive SSL framework for Time-series Forecasting (SWTF) was proposed. In the framework, series representations with dense information and prediction ability were learned without negative samples. Its core method consists of two collaboratively optimized objectives. The first is a Temporal Soft Whitening (TSW) loss, which means that compact representations with rich information were learned by reducing the redundancy between representation dimensions and maintaining the variance of representations, so as to avoid the reliance on negative sample pairs and representation invariance constraints. The second is a denoising reconstruction task, which means that the model was guided to focus on and encode predictive time-series features. To optimize these two objectives jointly, a Siamese encoder was constructed to use parallel multi-scale convolutional networks to capture both micro-level local periodicities and macro-level long-range dependencies efficiently. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets (electricity, weather, and traffic) show that SWTF achieves a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) reduction of approximately 19.6% (13.4% to 26.4%) compared to mainstream baselines such as CoST and PDF(Periodicity Decoupling Framework), verifying the effectiveness of SWTF in learning robust and highly predictive time-series representations.
The existing researcher redeployment after discipline revocation relies on manual decision-making, which makes it difficult to coordinate discipline associations effectively. In this context, Large Language Model (LLM) with strong knowledge analysis capabilities provides new ideas for discipline optimization based on researcher redeployment after discipline revocation. However, on university research data represented by scientific research information, they face challenges such as difficulty in understanding professional terms and obvious long-tail distribution. Therefore, a multistage coupled decision-making framework for the redeployment of researchers after discipline revocation, namely MCRF (Multistage Coupled Redeployment Framework), was proposed. MCRF was composed of four stages: recall, semantic enhancement, pairing, and reordering, and was able to decompose difficult problems into multiple relatively simple sub-problems effectively. Firstly, a discipline research word cloud association dataset was constructed to alleviate the problem of general models’ difficulty in understanding specialized academic terms. Secondly, an association recall algorithm was designed to recall Top-K related disciplines of scientific research information quickly, thereby reducing the overall decision-making time overhead. Finally, an implicit optimization module was introduced to generate diverse representations of scientific research information, thereby ensuring that tail discipline research information was able to be fully associated with researchers’ research directions, and accurate semantic matching was achieved through a fine-grained scientific research project ordering model. Experimental results show that on multiple datasets, the recall of the proposed framework reaches 92% in the recall stage, and the accuracy of the proposed framework is 96% in the reordering stage, verifying the effectiveness of MCRF in the task of discipline structure optimization effectively.
Image dehazing is a hot topic in the field of computer vision. Acquiring large-scale, high-quality paired datasets from real world is costly and challenging. Consequently, existing methods use synthetic data for fully supervised deep learning model training, may lead to poor real-world performance of the model. To bridge the domain gap between synthetic and real domains, a semi-supervised image dehazing algorithm based on teacher-student learning was introduced. In this algorithm, a semi-supervised teacher-student learning with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) strategy was used to update the teacher model, and an end-to-end dehazing learning was performed, thereby addressing domain shift issues between synthetic and real data significantly and enhancing generalization performance of the model in real hazy scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves superior performance on two synthetic hazy image datasets SOTS (Synthetic Objective Testing Set) and Haze4K, as well as the real-world hazy image dataset URHI (Unannotated Real-world Hazy Images), while also delivering enhanced dehazing visual effects.
To counteract community detection algorithms and thereby protect node privacy, community hiding methods have garnered more and more attention. However, current mainstream community hiding algorithms only focus on the network’s topological structure, neglecting the influence of node attributes on community structure, leading to bad performance on attribute networks. In response to these issues, an Attribute network Community hiding method based on Genetic algorithm (ACG) was proposed. In this method, network topological structure and node attributes were integrated, with the core of finding the optimal edge hiding strategy by optimizing a fitness function. In ACG, while minimizing hiding costs, maximizing modularity and attribute similarity was adopted as dual metric to select and perturb the set of edges with the greatest impact on community structure, thereby attacking community detection algorithms for attribute networks effectively. Experimental results demonstrate that without changing the total number of edges and attribute information, the proposed method counters mainstream attribute community detection methods effectively; compared with other community hiding methods, ACG has advantages in counteracting classic community detection algorithms on five attribute networks.
Dynamic searchable encryption has attracted wide attention due to its ability to add, delete, and search data on cloud servers. The existing dynamic searchable encryption schemes are usually constructed using highly secure cryptographic primitives, and multiple bilinear pairing operations need to be performed during scheme searching. In view of the large computational overhead of dynamic searchable encryption schemes when searching on servers, a Puncturable PseudoRandom Function (PPRF) was introduced into dynamic searchable encryption, and a dynamic searchable encryption scheme based on PPRF was designed and proposed. In this scheme, file identifiers did not need to be encrypted using symmetric encryption algorithms, and it is also not necessary to decrypt ciphertext to obtain file identifiers during server searches, and the client and the server were able to complete data search with only one interaction. At the same time, in the scheme, the key was marked when deleting keywords, the marked key was used to calculate the PPRF during search, and backward security was implemented with a forward-secure scheme, thereby ensuring security while improving search efficiency. According to security model of the dynamic searchable encryption scheme, the security of the scheme was verified. Simulation results show that compared with ROSE (RObust Searchable Encryption) scheme built on Key-Updatable Pseudorandom Function (KUPRF), Janus++ scheme built on Symmetric Puncturable Encryption (SPE), and Aura scheme built on Symmetric Revocable Encryption (SRE), the proposed scheme has the average search time of each keyword reduced by 17%, 65%, and 58%, respectively. It can be seen that the proposed scheme is effective and feasible, and reduces the search cost of the server effectively, improves the search efficiency of the scheme, and increases the practicality of the scheme.

As logistics hubs and cargo distribution centers, the ports have highlighted carbon emission problem. Aiming at optimization problem of port operation scheduling, considering the key factors such as ship arrival time, cargo handling demand, quay crane operation capacity, and carbon emission cost, an optimization model of port operation scheduling was constructed for minimizing both carbon emission cost and terminal operating expense, and a port operation scheduling algorithm based on Enhanced NSGA-Ⅱ (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm Ⅱ) (E-NSGA-Ⅱ) under the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality was proposed. Firstly, the coding strategy, population initialization method and crossover and mutation operations of the algorithm were adjusted. Secondly, gene repair operators of infeasible solutions were designed, and adaptive crossover and mutation probability mechanisms were introduced. Experimental results show that compared with FCFS (First Come First Service) scheduling algorithm, the proposed algorithm reduces the total cost of model solving by 7.9%, the carbon emission cost by 19.7%, and the terminal operating expense by 6.5%. The above research results enrich the multi-objective optimization algorithm and port operation scheduling theory, and provide strong support for port enterprises to achieve green scheduling, reduce operating cost, and improve economic benefits.

Secondly, the key distribution smart contract and arbitration smart contract were called by the verification node in blockchain, which solved the single point of failure problem in the traditional copyright protection solutions. Finally, experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed scheme. The results show that when the digital content size is 1 024×1 024, compared with the blockchain-enabled accountability mechanism against information leakage in vertical industry services, the proposed scheme has the total execution time of encryption and watermark embedding reduced by 94.92%, and the total decryption execution time reduced by 79.72%. It can be seen that the proposed scheme has low total time and operating costs with good efficiency, and can be widely used in the field of digital content copyright protection.
Significant differences in object scale and aspect ratio in remote sensing images lead to difficult object detection in remote sensing images. Aiming at this characteristic of remote sensing image, in order to improve the precision of object detection in remote sensing images, EW-YOLO (Efficient Weighted-YOLO) was proposed by improving the YOLO framework. Firstly, the multi-level feature fusion structure was introduced in the feature fusion section, so that the dual-branch residual module was utilized to promote the fusion of features at different scales. And by the cascade of feature fusion modules and the cross-layer feature fusion design, the extraction capability of objects at different scales was improved, and the detection capability was further enhanced. Secondly, in the prediction section, the weighted detection head was proposed and Weighted Boxes Fusion (WBF) was introduced, so as to improve the detection precision of objects with different aspect ratios by weighting each candidate box using the confidence scores and generating prediction boxes by fusion. Finally, to address the issue of too large image size, an image resampling technique was proposed, which means that the images were sampled to appropriate sizes and joined into network training, solving the problem of low detection precision of large-size objects caused by cropping. Experimental results on DOTA dataset show that the detection mean Average Precision (mAP) of the proposed method is 77.47%, which is increased by 1.55 percentage points compared to that of the original YOLO framework based method. And compared with the current mainstream methods, the proposed method has superior performance. At the same time, the proposed method’s effectiveness is also verified on HRSC and UCAS-AOD datasets.
Although community detection can reveal underlying structural characteristics of the network and relationships between nodes deeply, it also raises privacy leakage issues. Community hiding methods can resist community detection algorithms effectively, thereby achieving privacy protection of network node information. However, most of the traditional community hiding methods only focus on privacy protection of a single target or community in the network, there is a lack of a method that can hide any target set. In order to solve the above problems, a Based on Permanence-loss Maximization for multiple target Nodes Hiding (BPMNH) method was proposed. In the method, the set of target nodes to be hidden was able to be configured freely, and permanence loss maximization scheme was provided according to the network scale adaptively, thereby achieving hiding of multiple target nodes in different communities with minimal network topology disturbance cost. On eight datasets such as Karate, the experimental results show that BPMNH is better than three baseline methods such as Modularity Based Attack (MBA) in terms of hiding effect, network structure and comprehensive deception effect, validating the superiority of the proposed method in multi-target node hiding.
In recent years, Deformable Convolutional Network (DCN) has been widely applied in fields such as image recognition and classification. However, research on the interpretability of this model is relatively limited, and its applicability lacks sufficient theoretical support. To address these issues, this paper proposed an interpretability study of DCN and its application in butterfly species recognition model. Firstly, deformable convolution was introduced to improve the VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 (Dense Convolutional Network121) classification models. Secondly, visualization methods such as deconvolution and Class Activation Mapping (CAM) were used to compare the feature extraction capabilities of deformable convolution and standard convolution. The results of ablation experiments show that deformable convolution performs better when used in the lower layers of the neural network and not continuously. Thirdly, the Saliency Removal (SR) method was proposed to uniformly evaluate the performance of CAM and the importance of activation features. By setting different removal thresholds and other perspectives, the objectivity of the evaluation is improved. Finally, based on the evaluation results, the FullGrad (Full Gradient-weighted) explanation model was used as the basis for the recognition judgment. Experimental results show that on the Archive_80 dataset, the accuracy of the proposed D_v2-DenseNet121 reaches 97.03%, which is 2.82 percentage points higher than that of DenseNet121 classification model. It can be seen that the introduction of deformable convolution endows the neural network model with the ability to extract invariant features and improves the accuracy of the classification model.
Both the Damped Least Squares (DLS) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are applicable to automatic design of optical systems. Although DLS has a high search efficiency, it is susceptible to falling into local optima traps. Conversely, GA has strong global search capability in the parameter space of optical structures but weak local search capability. To address these challenges, a Correctable Reinforced Search GA (CRSGA) was proposed. Firstly, DLS was introduced after the GA crossover operation to enhance local search capability. Additionally, a correction strategy was introduced to rollback individuals with deteriorated fitness values before the next iteration, thereby achieving corrective evolutionary results. The improvement of two aspects to genetic algorithm enhanced strengths and compensated for weaknesses. Three typical optical system design experiments, including Double Gaussian (DG), Reversed Telephoto (RT), and Finite Conjugate Distance Imaging (FCDI), were conducted to validate the effectiveness of CRSGA. CRSGA outperforms both DLS and GA, and its optimization outcomes are about 8.92%, 12.19%, and 9.39% respectively better than those of commercial optical design software Zemax DLS. In particularly, the optimization outcomes achieve a significant improvement, reaching 99.98%, 94.33%, and 88.45% respectively compared to the Zemax HAMMER algorithm. In conclusion, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is effective for optical system optimization and can be used for automatic optical system design.
At present, researches on SQLite encryption both domestically and internationally are conducted at the file level and with the single-key, resulting in coarse encryption granularity and low decryption difficulty. In response to the security shortcomings of SQLite, a multi-key page-level encryption system was proposed. Firstly, an independent page key was assigned to each physical page, allowing for individual encryption and decryption of each page. A key file was introduced to store all page keys. Secondly, a page key cache module KeyCache was designed to generate and cache page keys for pages, thereby reducing the performance loss caused by frequent I/O read and write operations. Thirdly, an encryption and decryption module Crypto was proposed to implement the encryption and decryption functions. Crypto was used to quickly retrieve page keys through KeyCache, consequently enhancing the overall system performance. A comparative experiment was conducted between the proposed system and typical SQLCipher. Experimental results show that in read and update tests, compared with SQLCipher, the execution time of the proposed system reduced by 1.5% and 3.0% on average, achieving better performance at a higher security level. Additionally, in create and delete tests, the proposed system exhibits minimal performance loss compared to SQLCipher and the performance loss is close to SQLCipher while significantly enhancing the security level, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed system.
Aiming at the security analysis problem of KATAN48 algorithm, a conditional differential cryptanalysis method of KATAN48 algorithm based on neural distinguishers was proposed. First, the basic principle of multiple output differences neural distinguishers was studied and applied to KATAN48 algorithm. According to the data format of KATAN48 algorithm, the input format and hyperparameters of the deep residual neural network were adjusted. Then, the Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model of KATAN48 algorithm was established to search the prepended differential paths and the corresponding constraint conditions. At last, using the multiple output differences neural distinguishers, at most 80-round of the practical key recovery attack results of KATAN48 algorithm were given. Experimental results show that in the single key setting, the number of practical attack rounds of KATAN48 algorithm is increased by 10 rounds, the number of recoverable key bits of KATAN48 algorithm is increased by 22 bit and the data complexity and time complexity of KATAN48 algorithm are reduced from 234 and 234 to 216.39 and 219.68 respectively. Compared to the previous practical attack at the single-key setting, the proposed method can effectively increase the number of attack rounds and recoverable key bits, and reduces the computational complexity of attack.
The development of hot news events is very rich, and each stage of the development has its own unique narrative. With the development of events, a trend of hierarchical storyline evolution is presented. Aiming at the problem of poor interpretability and insufficient hierarchy of storyline in the existing storyline generation methods, a Hierarchical Storyline Generation Method (HSGM) for hot news events was proposed. First, an improved hotword algorithm was used to select the main seed events to construct the trunk. Second, the hotwords of branch events were selected to enhance the branch interpretability. Third, in the branch, a storyline coherence selection strategy fusing hotword relevance and dynamic time penalty was used to enhance the connection of parent-child events, so as to build hierarchical hotwords, and then a multi-level storyline was built. In addition, considering the incubation period of hot news events, a hatchery was added during the storyline construction process to solve the problem of neglecting the initial events due to insufficient hotness. Experimental results on two real self-constructed datasets show that in the event tracking process, compared with the methods based on singlePass and k-means respectively, HSGM has the F score increased by 4.51% and 6.41%, 20.71% and 13.01% respectively; in the storyline construction process, HSGM performs well in accuracy, comprehensibility and integrity on two self-constructed datasets compared with Story Forest and Story Graph.
Spatial-temporal co-occurrence patterns refer to the video object combinations with spatial-temporal correlations. In order to mine the spatial-temporal co-occurrence patterns meeting the query conditions from a huge volume of video data quickly, a spatial-temporal co-occurrence pattern mining algorithm with a triple-pruning matching strategy — Multi-Pruning Algorithm (MPA) was proposed. Firstly, the video objects were extracted in a structured way by the existing video object detection and tracking models. Secondly, the repeated occurred video objects extracted from a sequence of frames were stored and compressed, and an index of the objects was created. Finally, a spatial-temporal co-occurrence pattern mining algorithm based on the prefix tree was proposed to discover the spatial-temporal co-occurrence patterns that meet query conditions. Experimental results on real and synthetic datasets show that the proposed algorithm improves the efficiency by about 30% compared with Brute Force Algorithm (BFA), and the greater the data volume, the more obvious the efficiency improvement. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can discover the spatial-temporal co-occurrence patterns satisfying the query conditions from a large volume of video data quickly.
Recently, Approximate Query Processing (AQP) of aggregate functions is a research hotspot in the database field. Existing approximate query techniques have problems such as high query response time cost, high storage overhead, and no support for multi-predicate queries. Thus, a deep autoregressive model-based AQP approach DeepAQP (Deep Approximate Query Processing) was proposed. DeepAQP leveraged deep autoregressive model to learn the joint probability distribution of multi-column data in the table in order to estimate the selectivity and the target column’s probability distribution of the given query, enhancing the ability to handle the approximate query requests of aggregation functions with multiple predicates in a single table. Experiments were conducted on TPC-H and TPC-DS datasets. The results show that compared with VerdictDB, which is a sample-based method, DeepAQP has the query response time reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, and the storage space reduced by 3 orders of magnitude; compared with DBEst++, which is a machine learning-based method, DeepAQP has the query response time reduced by 1 order of magnitude and the model training time reduced significantly. Besides, DeepAQP can handle with multi-predicate query requests, for which DBEst++ does not support. It can be seen that DeepAQP achieves good accuracy and speed at the same time and reduces the training and storage overhead of algorithm significantly.
Node feature representation was learned by Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) by deep graph matching models in the stage of node feature extraction. However, GCN was limited by the learning ability for node feature representation, affecting the distinguishability of node features, which causes poor measurement of node similarity, and leads to the loss of model matching accuracy. To solve the problem, a deep graph matching model based on self-attention network was proposed. In the stage of node feature extraction, a new self-attention network was used to learn node features. The principle of the network is improving the feature description of nodes by utilizing spatial encoder to learn the spatial structures of nodes, and using self-attention mechanism to learn the relations among all the nodes. In addition, in order to reduce the loss of accuracy caused by relaxed graph matching problem, the graph matching problem was modelled to an integer linear programming problem. At the same time, structural matching constraints were added to graph matching problem on the basis of node matching, and an efficient combinatorial optimization solver was introduced to calculate the local optimal solution of graph matching problem. Experimental results show that on PASCAL VOC dataset, compared with Permutation loss and Cross-graph Affinity based Graph Matching (PCA-GM), the proposed model has the average matching precision on 20 classes of images increased by 14.8 percentage points, on Willow Object dataset, the proposed model has the average matching precision on 5 classes of images improved by 7.3 percentage points, and achieves the best results on object matching tasks such as bicycles and plants.
Aiming at the problem of low accuracy of ship target detection at sea, a lightweight ship target detection algorithm YOLOShip was proposed on the basis of the improved YOLOv5. Firstly, dilated convolution and channel attention were introduced into Spatial Pyramid Pooling-Fast (SPPF) module, which integrated spatial feature details of different scales, strengthened semantic information, and improved the model’s ability to distinguish foreground and background. Secondly, coordinate attention and lightweight mixed depthwise convolution were introduced into Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and Path Aggregation Network (PAN) structures to strengthen important features in the network, obtain features with more detailed information, and improve model detection ability and positioning precision. Thirdly, considering the uneven distribution and relatively small scale changes of targets in the dataset, the model performance was further improved while the model was simplified by modifying the anchors and decreasing the number of detection heads. Finally, a more flexible Polynomial Loss (PolyLoss) was introduced to optimize Binary Cross Entropy Loss (BCE Loss) to improve the model convergence speed and model precision. Experimental results show that on dataset SeaShips, in comparison with YOLOv5s, YOLOShip has the Precision, Recall, mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5:0.95 increased by 4.2, 5.7, 4.6 and 8.5 percentage points. Thus, by using the proposed algorithm, better detection precision can be obtained while meeting the requirements of detection speed, effectively achieving high-speed and high-precision ship detection.
Distributed matrix multiplication is a fundamental operation in many distributed machine learning and scientific computing applications, but its performance is greatly influenced by the stragglers commonly existed in the systems. Recently, researchers have proposed a fountain code based coded matrix multiplication method, which can effectively mitigate the effect of stragglers by fully exploiting the partial results of stragglers. However, it lacks the consideration of the storage cost of worker nodes. By considering the tradeoff relationship between the storage cost and the finish time of computation, the computational deadline-aware storage optimization problem for heterogeneous worker nodes was proposed firstly. Then, through the theoretical analysis, the solution based on expectation approximation was presented, and the problem was transformed into a convex optimization problem by relaxation for efficient solution. Simulation results show that in the case of ensuring a large task success rate, the storage overhead of the proposed scheme will rapidly decrease as the task duration is relaxed, and the scheme can greatly reduce the storage overhead brought by encoding. In other words, the proposed scheme can significantly reduce the extra storage overhead while guaranteeing that the whole computation can be finished before the deadline with high probability.

Secondly, the basic message sequences were used to describe protocol interactive behavior fragments, and the basic message sequences were mined by defining event maximum suffix. Finally, the maximum dependency graphs that were found out were connected and merged to build a message sequence chart. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a high accuracy and the built message sequence chart can visually represent the protocol interactive process.
In order to solve the real-time problem of visual navigation system with traditional motion estimation algorithm, a new approach based on classified feature points for mobile robot motion estimation was proposed. For dividing feature points into far points and near points, the distances between feature points and mobile robot were calculated according to the 3-dimensional coordinates of feature points. The far points were sensitive to the rotational movement of robot, thus they were used to calculate rotational matrix; the near points were sensitive to translational motion, thus they were used to calculate the translational matrix. When the far points and the near points are 30% of original feature points, the proposed approach had equivalent accuracy but reduced 60% computing time compared with RANdom SAmple Consensus (RANSAC). The results demonstrate that, by using classified feature points, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce computing time, meanwhile ensure accuracy of motion estimation, and it can meet the the real-time requirement with large feature points.

The experimental results show that: compared with the best single metric sub-recommendation algorithm, the new recommendation algorithm is nearly as well in the F-score, meanwhile increases by 1% in the diversity and increases by 11.5% in the novelty; the distribution of various Pareto solutions of multi-objective forms a dense and neighboring point curve in the solution space. So the recommender algorithm can satisfy the recommend requirements of users with different shopping preferences.
