Abstract Social media has become increasingly significant in modern society, but it has also turned into a breeding ground for the propagation of misleading information, potentially causing a detrimental impact on public opinion and daily life. Compared to pure text content, multmodal content significantly increases the visibility and share ability of posts. This has made the search for efficient modality representations and cross-modal information interaction methods a key focus in the field of multimodal fake news detection. To effectively address the critical challenge of accurately detecting fake news on social media, this paper proposes a fake… More >

Abstract As a core part of battlefield situational awareness, air target intention recognition plays an important role in modern air operations. Aiming at the problems of insufficient feature extraction and misclassification in intention recognition, this paper designs an air target intention recognition method (KGTLIR) based on Knowledge Graph and Deep Learning. Firstly, the intention recognition model based on Deep Learning is constructed to mine the temporal relationship of intention features using dilated causal convolution and the spatial relationship of intention features using a graph attention mechanism. Meanwhile, the accuracy, recall, and F1-score after iteration are introduced More >

Abstract This research introduces an innovative ensemble approach, combining Deep Residual Networks (ResNets) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU), augmented with an Attention Mechanism, for the classification of heart arrhythmias. The escalating prevalence of cardiovascular diseases necessitates advanced diagnostic tools to enhance accuracy and efficiency. The model leverages the deep hierarchical feature extraction capabilities of ResNets, which are adept at identifying intricate patterns within electrocardiogram (ECG) data, while BiGRU layers capture the temporal dynamics essential for understanding the sequential nature of ECG signals. The integration of an Attention Mechanism refines the model’s focus on critical segments… More >

Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) with gaming abilities have been widely applied in image generation. However, gamistic generators and discriminators may reduce the robustness of the obtained GANs in image generation under varying scenes. Enhancing the relation of hierarchical information in a generation network and enlarging differences of different network architectures can facilitate more structural information to improve the generation effect for image generation. In this paper, we propose an enhanced GAN via improving a generator for image generation (EIGGAN). EIGGAN applies a spatial attention to a generator to extract salient information to enhance the truthfulness… More >

Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of breasts often presents complex backgrounds. Breast tumors exhibit varying sizes, uneven intensity, and indistinct boundaries. These characteristics can lead to challenges such as low accuracy and incorrect segmentation during tumor segmentation. Thus, we propose a two-stage breast tumor segmentation method leveraging multi-scale features and boundary attention mechanisms. Initially, the breast region of interest is extracted to isolate the breast area from surrounding tissues and organs. Subsequently, we devise a fusion network incorporating multi-scale features and boundary attention mechanisms for breast tumor segmentation. We incorporate multi-scale parallel dilated convolution modules into… More >

Abstract Due to the diversity and unpredictability of changes in malicious code, studying the traceability of variant families remains challenging. In this paper, we propose a GAN-EfficientNetV2-based method for tracing families of malicious code variants. This method leverages the similarity in layouts and textures between images of malicious code variants from the same source and their original family of malicious code images. The method includes a lightweight classifier and a simulator. The classifier utilizes the enhanced EfficientNetV2 to categorize malicious code images and can be easily deployed on mobile, embedded, and other devices. The simulator utilizes… More >

Abstract Diseases in tea trees can result in significant losses in both the quality and quantity of tea production. Regular monitoring can help to prevent the occurrence of large-scale diseases in tea plantations. However, existing methods face challenges such as a high number of parameters and low recognition accuracy, which hinders their application in tea plantation monitoring equipment. This paper presents a lightweight I-MobileNetV2 model for identifying diseases in tea leaves, to address these challenges. The proposed method first embeds a Coordinate Attention (CA) module into the original MobileNetV2 network, enabling the model to locate disease More >

Abstract Visual object tracking plays a crucial role in computer vision. In recent years, researchers have proposed various methods to achieve high-performance object tracking. Among these, methods based on Transformers have become a research hotspot due to their ability to globally model and contextualize information. However, current Transformer-based object tracking methods still face challenges such as low tracking accuracy and the presence of redundant feature information. In this paper, we introduce self-calibration multi-head self-attention Transformer (SMSTracker) as a solution to these challenges. It employs a hybrid tensor decomposition self-organizing multi-head self-attention transformer mechanism, which not only… More >
