Abstract To tackle critical visual tracking difficulties arising in UAV tracking tasks, including frequent target occlusion and abrupt fast motion during high-altitude inspection, we propose an adaptive correlation filter tracking algorithm incorporating a motion smoothing module and adaptive residual regularization, named MACF. The tracker is constructed via multi-strategy fusion of two elaborately designed components at the algorithmic modeling level. First, we design a Motion Smoothing Module (MSM) that conducts weighted fusion of historical motion trends in the modeling pipeline. It suppresses search window jitter arising from instantaneous positioning errors and lowers target drift risk by providing More >

Abstract Due to the structural complexity of Chinese characters, the occurrence of homophones and visual similarity among glyphs directly increases the difficulties presented in Chinese spell checking (CSC). These factors also indicate the importance of the connection between CSC and context-dependency. In this study, a novel framework, the Summarization-Enhanced Chinese Spell Checking (abbreviated as SE-CSC) model, is proposed, which integrates phonetic and glyph embeddings to further enhance context awareness in error detection and correction. We utilize sentence-level summarization features to augment and generate an error-guided mask that can effectively detect errors and derive more precise corrections. More >

Abstract Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement is considered a promising low-carbon alternative to ordinary Portland cement owing to its lower clinkerization temperature and reduced CO2 emissions. The incorporation of blast furnace slag can further enhance the sustainability of CSA-based binders by lowering clinker content, reducing cost and embodied carbon emissions, while maintaining satisfactory mechanical performance. However, optimizing CSA-slag systems remains challenging due to the complex interactions among binder composition, clinker mineralogy, and slag replacement levels. This study therefore aims to predict the compressive strength of CSA-slag binders, identify the mixture parameters governing it, and optimize mixture proportions for… More >

Abstract Vision-language-action models have recently gained attention in autonomous driving, as language can express high-level behavioral intent beyond geometric waypoints. However, existing planners often treat language as an external command or auxiliary explanatory signal, while the hidden states of generated control instructions are rarely aligned explicitly with the latent variables that produce executable trajectories. This paper presents MALT-Drive, a moment-aligned language-to-trajectory end-to-end planning framework for autonomous driving. Given front-camera visual input, ego-state history, route priors, and a driving-oriented VQA prompt, MALT-Drive first autoregressively generates a concise control instruction from a controlled instruction space and then decodes… More >

Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an essential medical imaging technique that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images, but delivers substantial radiation dose to patients. Sparse-view CT (SVCT) reduces radiation dose by decreasing projection views, but causes streak artifacts that degrade image quality. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool to address this challenge. Although prospective paired acquisitions for low-current/voltage CT may be constrained by radiation-dose management and clinical workflow considerations, SVCT provides a practical way to construct paired training data through retrospective angular downsampling of full-view projections. This survey provides a systematic review of deep learning–based SVCT, More >

Abstract Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) relies on multivariable mix design and curing regimes, which makes empirical estimation of compressive strength increasingly unreliable when material systems vary. In this context, unlike previous studies that only applied standard eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), this study introduces an advanced hybrid optimization strategy, Bayesian Optimization and Hyperband (BOHB), which combines the sample efficiency of Bayesian optimization with the resource allocation mechanism of Hyperband, and incorporates SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for influencing factor analysis, thereby proposing a BOHB-XGBoost framework integrated with SHAP analysis.

Abstract Accurate and interpretable fault diagnosis of electric vehicle (EV) powertrains is essential for ensuring operational safety, reliability, and efficient maintenance. Undetected faults in key components such as motors, inverters, and batteries can lead to performance degradation and critical system failures. While machine learning (ML)-based fault diagnosis models have demonstrated strong predictive capability using multivariate sensor data, their black-box nature limits practical trust and adoption in real-world EV applications. In particular, understanding how individual sensor variables contribute to diagnostic decisions remains a major challenge.

Abstract Construction strategy selection is a context-dependent decision problem in which multiple conflicting criteria must be considered under changing project conditions. Conventional multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods generally produce rankings for predefined decision matrices but do not learn transferable preference structures across project scenarios.

Abstract During flood seasons in hydropower expansion projects, reservoir level rise may hydraulically connect the excavation pit and shaft to the reservoir. The resulting high-head boundary can impose a strong hydraulic gradient across the unexcavated blocking section, while staged bench excavation further redistributes stresses. This study proposes a three-dimensional hydro-mechanical coupled numerical framework based on Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions (FLAC3D), which explicitly accounts for pore water pressure evolution, asymmetric hydraulic boundary conditions, and staged bench excavation disturbance. The framework enables systematic evaluation of rock-plug stability under different retained lengths using plastic-zone connectivity,… More >

This helps to learn from pseudo-labeled data without the need for large annotated datasets.

Abstract Graph structure learning depends heavily on the integrity and reliability of graph data. However, real-world graphs often contain noise, missing information, and bias, thereby limiting the expressive capacity of existing models. Single-layer structure learning methods fail to simultaneously capture local interactions and the global structure. Furthermore, they rely excessively on high-quality labeled data, leading to label scarcity issues and high annotation costs. To address these challenges, we propose a self-supervised dual-layer structure-driven graph structure learning method, termed D2GSL. Specifically, D2GSL constructs a semantic similarity channel and a spectral feature channel to model node relationships from More >

Abstract Accurate prediction of complex failure modes in anisotropic composite structures—specifically matrix cracking, fiber rupture, and delamination (stratification)—remains a central challenge in computational fracture mechanics. The primary goal of this work is to bridge the gap between high-fidelity physical modeling and computational efficiency.
