Abstract In the production processes of modern industry, accurate assessment of the system’s health state and traceability non-optimal factors are key to ensuring “safe, stable, long-term, full load and optimal” operation of the production process. The benzene-to-ethylene ratio control system is a complex system based on an MPC-PID double-layer architecture. Taking into consideration the interaction between levels, coupling between loops and conditions of incomplete operation data, this paper proposes a health assessment method for the dual-layer control system by comprehensively utilizing deep learning technology. Firstly, according to the results of the pre-assessment of the system layers… More >

Abstract Semantic segmentation of concrete bridge defect images frequently encounters challenges due to insufficient precision and the limited computational capabilities of mobile devices, thereby considerably affecting the reliability of bridge defect monitoring and health assessment. To tackle these issues, a concrete defects dataset (including spalling, crack, and exposed steel rebar) was curated and multiple semantic segmentation models were developed. In these models, a deep convolutional network or a lightweight convolutional network were employed as the backbone feature extraction networks, with different loss functions configured and various attention mechanism modules introduced for conducting multi-angle comparative research.

Abstract With the continuous advancement of steganographic techniques, the task of image steganalysis has become increasingly challenging, posing significant obstacles to the fields of information security and digital forensics. Although existing deep learning methods have achieved certain progress in steganography detection, they still encounter several difficulties in real-world applications. Specifically, current methods often struggle to accurately focus on steganography sensitive regions, leading to limited detection accuracy. Moreover, feature information is frequently lost during transmission, which further reduces the model’s generalization ability. These issues not only compromise the reliability of steganography detection but also hinder its applicability… More >

Abstract These days, social media has grown to be an integral part of people’s lives. However, it involves the possibility of exposure to “fake news,” which may contain information that is intentionally or inaccurately false to promote particular political or economic interests. The main objective of this work is to use the co-attention mechanism in a Combined Graph neural network model (CMCG) to capture the relationship between user profile features and user preferences in order to detect fake news and examine the influence of various social media features on fake news detection. The proposed approach includes… More >

Abstract Trajectory prediction is a critical task in autonomous driving systems. It enables vehicles to anticipate the future movements of surrounding traffic participants, which facilitates safe and human-like decision-making in the planning and control layers. However, most existing approaches rely on end-to-end deep learning architectures that overlook the influence of driving style on trajectory prediction. These methods often lack explicit modeling of semantic driving behavior and effective interaction mechanisms, leading to potentially unrealistic predictions. To address these limitations, we propose the Driving Style Guided Trajectory Prediction framework (DSG-TP), which incorporates a probabilistic representation of driving style… More >

Abstract As the use of deepfake facial videos proliferate, the associated threats to social security and integrity cannot be overstated. Effective methods for detecting forged facial videos are thus urgently needed. While many deep learning-based facial forgery detection approaches show promise, they often fail to delve deeply into the complex relationships between image features and forgery indicators, limiting their effectiveness to specific forgery techniques. To address this challenge, we propose a dual-branch collaborative deepfake detection network. The network processes video frame images as input, where a specialized noise extraction module initially extracts the noise feature maps.… More >

Abstract To address the high-quality forged videos, traditional approaches typically have low recognition accuracy and tend to be easily misclassified. This paper tries to address the challenge of detecting high-quality deepfake videos by promoting the accuracy of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) video authenticity detection with a multimodal information fusion approach. First, a high-quality multimodal video dataset is collected and normalized, including resolution correction and frame rate unification. Next, feature extraction techniques are employed to draw out features from visual, audio, and text modalities. Subsequently, these features are fused into a multilayer perceptron and attention mechanisms-based More >
