Abstract The recent increase in deepfake content has significantly increased cyber threats. Although numerous deepfake detection technologies have achieved high accuracy, there are limits to clarifying the rationale behind their detection decisions. To bridge the gap, in our study, we leverage the combination of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver clear, consistent, and understandable interpretations of deepfake detection outcomes. To do that, we integrate XAI and LLMs to visually represent detection rationales and automatically generate coherent natural-language explanations. During the implementation of our method, we developed a multi-task learning framework based… More >

Abstract Accurate forecasting of settlement in buildings adjacent to shield tunnels remains a critical challenge in underground engineering due to complex spatiotemporal interactions and nonlinear relationships among multi-source monitoring data and construction parameters. To address this issue, a Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA)-optimized Convolutional Neural Network–Long Short-Term Memory–Transformer (CNN-LSTM-Transformer) hybrid framework is proposed, explicitly incorporating the relative spatial relationship between the shield excavation face and adjacent structures. In this framework, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) module extracts spatial features from monitoring data and tunneling parameters, capturing interdependencies among different construction indicators and reflecting local spatial heterogeneity of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Coordinated control of structural accuracy and mechanical properties is the key to composites manufacturing and the prerequisite for aerospace applications. In particular, accurate and efficient prediction of curing-induced deformation (CID) is of vital importance for fiber reinforced polymer composites quality control.

Abstract Single-signal detection in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems presents a challenge due to the time-varying nature of wireless channels. Although conventional methods have limitations, particularly in multi-input multioutput orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, this paper addresses this problem by exploring advanced deep learning approaches for combined channel estimation and signal detection. Specifically, we propose two hybrid architectures that integrate a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a recurrent neural network (RNN), namely, CNN-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) and CNN-bidirectional-LSTM (CNN-Bi-LSTM), designed to enhance signal detection performance in MIMO-OFDM systems. The proposed CNN-LSTM and CNN-Bi-LSTM architectures are… More >

Abstract Contemporary power network planning faces critical challenges from intensifying climate variability, including greenhouse effect amplification, extreme precipitation anomalies, and persistent thermal extremes. These meteorological disruptions compromise the reliability of renewable energy generation forecasts, particularly in photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, current predictive methodologies exhibit notable deficiencies in extreme weather monitoring, systematic transient phenomena analysis, and preemptive operational strategies, especially for cold-wave weather. In order to address these limitations, we propose a dual-phase data enhancement protocol that takes advantage of Time-series Generative Adversarial Networks (TimeGAN) for temporal pattern expansion and the K-medoids clustering algorithm for synthetic data… More >

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is essential for balancing energy supply and demand in renewable energy systems. However, the performance of PV panels varies across different technologies due to differences in efficiency and how they process solar radiation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of deep learning models in predicting PV power generation for three panel technologies: Hybrid-Si, Mono-Si, and Poly-Si, across three forecasting horizons: 1-step, 12-step, and 24-step. Among the tested models, the Convolutional Neural Network—Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) architecture exhibited superior performance, particularly for the 24-step horizon, achieving R² = 0.9793 and MAE = 0.0162 for More >

Abstract Short-term photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting plays a crucial role in enhancing the stability and reliability of power grid scheduling. To address the challenges posed by complex environmental variables and difficulties in modeling temporal features in PV power prediction, a short-term PV power forecasting method based on an improved CNN-LSTM and cascade learning strategy is proposed. First, Pearson correlation coefficients and mutual information are used to select representative features, reducing the impact of redundant features on model performance. Then, the CNN-LSTM network is designed to extract local features using CNN and learn temporal dependencies through LSTM,… More > Graphic Abstract
