Abstract Predicting the health status of stroke patients at different stages of the disease is a critical clinical task. The onset and development of stroke are affected by an array of factors, encompassing genetic predisposition, environmental exposure, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and existing medical conditions. Although existing machine learning-based methods for predicting stroke patients’ health status have made significant progress, limitations remain in terms of prediction accuracy, model explainability, and system optimization. This paper proposes a multi-task learning approach based on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for predicting the health status of stroke patients. First, we design a More >

Abstract Video camouflaged object detection (VCOD) has become a fundamental task in computer vision that has attracted significant attention in recent years. Unlike image camouflaged object detection (ICOD), VCOD not only requires spatial cues but also needs motion cues. Thus, effectively utilizing spatiotemporal information is crucial for generating accurate segmentation results. Current VCOD methods, which typically focus on exploring motion representation, often ineffectively integrate spatial and motion features, leading to poor performance in diverse scenarios. To address these issues, we design a novel spatiotemporal network with an encoder-decoder structure. During the encoding stage, an adjacent space-time More >

Abstract With the widespread use of SMS (Short Message Service), the proliferation of malicious SMS has emerged as a pressing societal issue. While deep learning-based text classifiers offer promise, they often exhibit suboptimal performance in fine-grained detection tasks, primarily due to imbalanced datasets and insufficient model representation capabilities. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an LLMs-enhanced graph fusion dual-stream Transformer model for fine-grained Chinese malicious SMS detection. During the data processing stage, Large Language Models (LLMs) are employed for data augmentation, mitigating dataset imbalance. In the data input stage, both word-level and character-level features are More >

Abstract Stereoscopic agriculture, as an advanced method of agricultural production, poses new challenges for multi-task trajectory planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To address the need for UAVs to perform multi-task trajectory planning in stereoscopic agriculture, a multi-task trajectory planning model and algorithm (IEP-AO) that synthesizes flight safety and flight efficiency is proposed. Based on the requirements of stereoscopic agricultural geomorphological features and operational characteristics, the multi-task trajectory planning model is ensured by constructing targeted constraints at five aspects, including the path, slope, altitude, corner, energy and obstacle threat, to improve the effectiveness of the trajectory… More >

Abstract Thanks to the strong representation capability of pre-trained language models, supervised machine translation models have achieved outstanding performance. However, the performances of these models drop sharply when the scale of the parallel training corpus is limited. Considering the pre-trained language model has a strong ability for monolingual representation, it is the key challenge for machine translation to construct the in-depth relationship between the source and target language by injecting the lexical and syntactic information into pre-trained language models. To alleviate the dependence on the parallel corpus, we propose a Linguistics Knowledge-Driven Multi-Task (LKMT) approach to… More >

Abstract Copy-Move Forgery Detection (CMFD) is a technique that is designed to identify image tampering and locate suspicious areas. However, the practicality of the CMFD is impeded by the scarcity of datasets, inadequate quality and quantity, and a narrow range of applicable tasks. These limitations significantly restrict the capacity and applicability of CMFD. To overcome the limitations of existing methods, a novel solution called IMTNet is proposed for CMFD by employing a feature decoupling approach. Firstly, this study formulates the objective task and network relationship as an optimization problem using transfer learning. Furthermore, it thoroughly discusses… More >

Abstract Under the influence of air humidity, dust, aerosols, etc., in real scenes, haze presents an uneven state. In this way, the image quality and contrast will decrease. In this case, It is difficult to detect the target in the image by the universal detection network. Thus, a dual subnet based on multi-task collaborative training (DSMCT) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, in the training phase, the Gated Context Aggregation Network (GCANet) is used as the supervisory network of YOLOX to promote the extraction of clean information in foggy scenes. In the test phase, only the… More >
