Traffic prediction is a fundamental task in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), as accurate Traffic Flow Forecasting (TFF) can significantly improve the utilization efficiency of public resources. To address the limitations of insufficient utilization of contextual information, imbalanced graph fusion techniques, and consideration of only static spatial relationships in existing multi-graph neural network models, a TFF model based on Spatio-Temporal Multi-Graph Fusion (STMGF) was proposed. Firstly, different spatial correlations across different regions were extracted by the model through the fusion of spatial graphs, semantic graphs, and spatial-semantic graphs. Spatial attention mechanism and graph attention mechanism were utilized to dynamically learn the importance of different graph structures for different neighbors. Then, a multi-kernel temporal attention mechanism was employed to capture both local and global temporal dependencies. Finally, a multi-layer perceptron was utilized to predict traffic flow, obtaining the final prediction values. The validity of the model was verified on NYCTaxi dataset and NYCBike dataset. Experimental results showed that the Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) of the proposed model STMGF were 8.46%, 2.70%, and 2.20% lower than those of Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (STGCN), Attention based Spatial-Temporal Graph Neural Network (ASTGNN), and Meta-graph Convolutional Recurrent Network (MegaCRN), respectively in the 36 steps forecast task of the NYCBike dataset.
Obtaining reliable labels is time-consuming and laborious caused by the characteristics of ultrasonic images such as strong noise, low quality and blurred boundary. Therefore, a semi-supervision and multi-scale cascaded attention based ultrasound carotid plaque segmentation method was proposed. Firstly, a semi-supervised segmentation method of Uncertainty Rectified Pyramid Consistency (URPC) was used to make full use of unlabeled data to train the model, so as to reduce the time-consuming and laborious labeling pressure. Then, a dual encoder structure based on edge detection was proposed, and the edge detection encoder was used to assist the ultrasonic plaque image feature encoder to fully acquire the edge information. In addition, a Multi-Scale Fusion Module (MSFM) was designed to improve the extraction of irregularly shaped plaques by adaptive fusion of multi-scale features, and a Cascaded Channel Spatial Attention (CCSA) module was combined to better focus on the plaque region. Finally, the proposed method was evaluated on the ultrasonic carotid plaque image dataset. Experimental results show that the Dice index and IoU (Intersection over Union) index of the proposed method on the dataset are 2.8 and 6.3 percentage points higher than those of the supervised method CA-Net (Comprehensive Attention convolutional neural Network) respectively, and 1.8 and 1.3 percentage points higher than those of the semi-supervised method Cyclic Prototype Consistency Learning (CPCL) respectively. It can be seen that this method can effectively improve the segmentation accuracy of ultrasound carotid plaque image.
Aiming at the problem of low data availability caused by existing disturbance mechanisms that do not consider the semantic relationship of location points, a Trajectory Location Privacy protection Mechanism based on Differential Privacy was proposed, namely DP-TLPM. Firstly, the sliding windows were used to extract trajectory dwell points to generate the fuzzy regions, and the regions were sampled using exponential and Laplacian mechanisms. Secondly, a road network matching algorithm was proposed to eliminate possible semantic free location points in the sampled points, and the trajectory was segmented and iteratively matched by using Error Ellipse Matching (EEM). Finally, a disturbance trajectory was formed based on the matched location points, which was sent to the server by the user. The mechanism was evaluated comprehensively by confusion quality and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Compared with the GeoInd algorithm, the data quality loss of the DP-TLPM is reduced by 24% and the confusion quality of the trajectories is improved by 52%, verifying the effectiveness of DP-TLPM in terms of both privacy protection strength and data quality.
The target detection model of anesthesia resuscitation is often used to help medical staff to perform resuscitation detection on anesthetized patients. The targets of facial actions during patient resuscitation are small and are not obvious, and the existing Single Shot multibox Detector (SSD) is difficult to accurately detect the facial micro-action features of patients in real time. Aiming at the problem that the original model has low detection speed and is easy to have missed detection, an anesthesia resuscitation object detection method based on improved SSD was proposed. Firstly, the backbone network VGG (Visual Geometry Group)16 of the original SSD was replaced by the lightweight backbone network MobileNetV2, and the standard convolutions were replaced by the depthwise separable convolutions. At the same time, the calculation method of first increasing and then reducing the dimension of the extracted features from patient photos was used to reduce computational cost, thereby improving detection speed of the model. Secondly, the Coordinate Attention (CA) mechanism was integrated into the feature layers with different scales extracted by the SSD, and the ability of the feature map to extract key information was improved by weighting the channel and location information, so that the network positioning and classification performance was optimized. Finally, comparative experiments were carried out on three datasets: CEW(Closed Eyes in the Wild), LFW(Labeled Faces in the Wild), and HAPF(Hospital Anesthesia Patient Facial). Experimental results show that the mean Average Precision (AP) of the proposed model reaches 95.23%, and the detection rate of photos is 24 frames per second, which are 1.39 percentage points higher and 140% higher than those of the original SSD model respectively. Therefore, the improved model has the effect of real-time accurate detection in anesthesia resuscitation detection, and can assist medical staff in resuscitation detection.
In recent years, the Grid-based distributed Xin’anjiang hydrological Model (GXM) has played an important role in flood forecasting, but when simulating the flooding process, due to the vast amount of data and calculation of the model, the computing time of GXM increases exponentially with the increase of the model warm-up period, which seriously affects the computational efficiency of GXM. Therefore, a parallel computing algorithm of GXM based on grid flow direction division and dynamic priority Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) scheduling was proposed. Firstly, the model parameters, model components, and model calculation process were analyzed. Secondly, a parallel algorithm of GXM based on grid flow direction division was proposed from the perspective of spatial parallelism to improve the computational efficiency of the model. Finally, a DAG task scheduling algorithm based on dynamic priority was proposed to reduce the occurrence of data skew in model calculation by constructing the DAG of grid computing nodes and dynamically updating the priorities of computing nodes to achieve task scheduling during GXM computation. Experimental results on Dali River basin of Shaanxi Province and Tunxi basin of Anhui Province show that compared with the traditional serial computing method, the maximum speedup ratio of the proposed algorithm reaches 4.03 and 4.11, respectively, the computing speed and resource utilization of GXM were effectively improved when the warm-up period is 30 days and the data resolution is 1 km.
Current research on Person Re-Identification (Re-ID) mainly concentrates on short-term situations with person’s clothing usually unchanged. However, more common practical cases are long-term situations, in which a person has higher possibility to change his clothes, which should be considered by Re-ID models. Therefore, a method of person re-identification with cloth changing based on joint loss capsule network was proposed. The proposed method was based on ReIDCaps, a capsule network for cloth-changing person re-identification. In the method, vector-neuron capsules that contain more information than traditional scalar neurons were used. The length of the vector-neuron capsule was used to represent the identity information of the person, and the direction of the capsule was used to represent the clothing information of the person. Soft Embedding Attention (SEA) was used to avoid the model over-fitting. Feature Sparse Representation (FSR) mechanism was adopted to extract discriminative features. The joint loss of label smoothing regularization cross-entropy loss and Circle Loss was added to improve the generalization ability and robustness of the model. Experimental results on three datasets including Celeb-reID, Celeb-reID-light and NKUP prove that the proposed method has certain advantages compared with the existing person re-identification methods.
Owing to that different users focus on attributes of the same item is not exactly the same, individuals' weight distribution for goods attributes are not the same. A method of the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy soft set was proposed to deal with this kind of recommendation problems. First, the concept of generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy soft set was established by combining the concepts of generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy set and soft set, some basic operations on a generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy soft set were defined, such as “and” operation, and “or” operation. Using these operations, as well as the center of gravity method of the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, commodities could be ranked. A group preference model from the preferences of the group members could be constructed. Finally, this paper used the car recommendation as an example to introduce the group preference aggregation algorithm and this numerical example was given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
