Abstract Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), as a deep learning framework specifically designed for graph-structured data, have achieved deep representation learning of graph data through message passing mechanisms and have become a core technology in the field of graph analysis. However, current reviews on GNN models are mainly focused on smaller domains, and there is a lack of systematic reviews on the classification and applications of GNN models. This review systematically synthesizes the three canonical branches of GNN, Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), Graph Attention Network (GAT), and Graph Sampling Aggregation Network (GraphSAGE), and analyzes their integration pathways More >

Abstract Mental-health risk detection seeks early signs of distress from social media posts and clinical transcripts to enable timely intervention before crises. When such risks go undetected, consequences can escalate to self-harm, long-term disability, reduced productivity, and significant societal and economic burden. Despite recent advances, detecting risk from online text remains challenging due to heterogeneous language, evolving semantics, and the sequential emergence of new datasets. Effective solutions must encode clinically meaningful cues, reason about causal relations, and adapt to new domains without forgetting prior knowledge. To address these challenges, this paper presents a Continual Neuro-Symbolic Graph… More >

Abstract Malware poses a significant threat to the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables unauthorized access to devices in the IoT environment. The lack of unique architectural standards causes challenges in developing robust malware detection (MD) models. The existing models demand substantial computational resources. This study intends to build a lightweight MD model to detect anomalies in IoT networks. The authors develop a transformation technique, converting the malware binaries into images. MobileNet V2 is fine-tuned using improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) to extract crucial features of malicious and benign samples. The ResNeXt model is combined with… More >

Abstract Detecting small forest fire targets in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images is difficult, as flames typically cover only a very limited portion of the visual scene. This study proposes Context-guided Compact Lightweight Network (CCLNet), an end-to-end lightweight model designed to detect small forest fire targets while ensuring efficient inference on devices with constrained computational resources. CCLNet employs a three-stage network architecture. Its key components include three modules. C3F-Convolutional Gated Linear Unit (C3F-CGLU) performs selective local feature extraction while preserving fine-grained high-frequency flame details. Context-Guided Feature Fusion Module (CGFM) replaces plain concatenation with triplet-attention interactions to… More >

Abstract Deep neural networks have achieved excellent classification results on several computer vision benchmarks. This has led to the popularity of machine learning as a service, where trained algorithms are hosted on the cloud and inference can be obtained on real-world data. In most applications, it is important to compress the vision data due to the enormous bandwidth and memory requirements. Video codecs exploit spatial and temporal correlations to achieve high compression ratios, but they are computationally expensive. This work computes the motion fields between consecutive frames to facilitate the efficient classification of videos. However, contrary… More >

Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality world-wide, with accurate molecular subtyping is critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes. Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry (IHC) test is invasive, time-consuming, and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity. This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes. Four pretrained models, including two Convolutional Neural Networks (MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16) and two Vision Transformers (ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224) were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched, Luminal, Normal-like, and Triple Negative subtypes. Hyperparameter tuning,… More >

Abstract The development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on motor imagery (MI) has greatly improved patients’ quality of life with movement disorders. The classification of upper limb MI has been widely studied and applied in many fields, including rehabilitation. However, the physiological representations of left and right lower limb movements are too close and activated deep in the cerebral cortex, making it difficult to distinguish their features. Therefore, classifying lower limbs motor imagery is more challenging. In this study, we propose a feature extraction method based on functional connectivity, which utilizes phase-locked values to construct a… More >

Abstract Long-term traffic flow prediction is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems within intelligent networks, requiring predictive models that balance accuracy with low-latency and lightweight computation to optimize traffic management and enhance urban mobility and sustainability. However, traditional predictive models struggle to capture long-term temporal dependencies and are computationally intensive, limiting their practicality in real-time. Moreover, many approaches overlook the periodic characteristics inherent in traffic data, further impacting performance. To address these challenges, we introduce ST-MambaGCN, a State-Space-Based Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Network. Unlike conventional models, ST-MambaGCN replaces the temporal attention layer with Mamba, a state-space More >

Abstract Log anomaly detection is essential for maintaining the reliability and security of large-scale networked systems. Most traditional techniques rely on log parsing in the reprocessing stage and utilize handcrafted features that limit their adaptability across various systems. In this study, we propose a hybrid model, BertGCN, that integrates BERT-based contextual embedding with Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to identify anomalies in raw system logs, thereby eliminating the need for log parsing. The BERT module captures semantic representations of log messages, while the GCN models the structural relationships among log entries through a text-based graph. This combination More >

Abstract Knowledge graphs often suffer from sparsity and incompleteness. Knowledge graph reasoning is an effective way to address these issues. Unlike static knowledge graph reasoning, which is invariant over time, dynamic knowledge graph reasoning is more challenging due to its temporal nature. In essence, within each time step in a dynamic knowledge graph, there exists structural dependencies among entities and relations, whereas between adjacent time steps, there exists temporal continuity. Based on these structural and temporal characteristics, we propose a model named “DKGR-DR” to learn distributed representations of entities and relations by combining recurrent neural networks More >
