Abstract Cyberbullying on social media poses significant psychological risks, yet most detection systems oversimplify the task by focusing on binary classification, ignoring nuanced categories like passive-aggressive remarks or indirect slurs. To address this gap, we propose a hybrid framework combining Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), word-to-vector (Word2Vec), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) based models for multi-class cyberbullying detection. Our approach integrates TF-IDF for lexical specificity and Word2Vec for semantic relationships, fused with BERT’s contextual embeddings to capture syntactic and semantic complexities. We evaluate the framework on a publicly available dataset of 47,000 annotated social… More >

Abstract Research has been conducted to reduce resource consumption in 3D medical image segmentation for diverse resource-constrained environments. However, decreasing the number of parameters to enhance computational efficiency can also lead to performance degradation. Moreover, these methods face challenges in balancing global and local features, increasing the risk of errors in multi-scale segmentation. This issue is particularly pronounced when segmenting small and complex structures within the human body. To address this problem, we propose a multi-stage hierarchical architecture composed of a detector and a segmentor. The detector extracts regions of interest (ROIs) in a 3D image, while More >

Abstract The counterflow burner is a combustion device used for research on combustion. By utilizing deep convolutional models to identify the combustion state of a counterflow burner through visible flame images, it facilitates the optimization of the combustion process and enhances combustion efficiency. Among existing deep convolutional models, InceptionNeXt is a deep learning architecture that integrates the ideas of the Inception series and ConvNeXt. It has garnered significant attention for its computational efficiency, remarkable model accuracy, and exceptional feature extraction capabilities. However, since this model still has limitations in the combustion state recognition task, we propose… More >

Abstract The rapid development of electricity retail market has prompted an increasing number of electricity consumers to sign green electricity contracts with retail electricity companies, which poses greater challenges for the market service for green energy consumers. This study proposed a two-stage feature extraction approach for green energy consumers leveraging clustering and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF–IDF) algorithms within a knowledge graph framework to provide an information basis that supports the green development of the retail electricity market. First, the multi-source heterogeneous data of green energy consumers under an actual market environment is systematically introduced and… More >

Abstract Processing police incident data in public security involves complex natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including information extraction. This data contains extensive entity information—such as people, locations, and events—while also involving reasoning tasks like personnel classification, relationship judgment, and implicit inference. Moreover, utilizing models for extracting information from police incident data poses a significant challenge—data scarcity, which limits the effectiveness of traditional rule-based and machine-learning methods. To address these, we propose TIPS. In collaboration with public security experts, we used de-identified police incident data to create templates that enable large language models (LLMs) to populate data More >

Abstract Soil metal pollution is a global issue due to its toxic nature affecting ecosystems and human health. This has become a concern since metals are non-biodegradable and toxic. Most of the reclamation methods currently used for soils rely on the use of physical and chemical means, which tend to be very expensive and result in secondary environmental damage. However, microbe-aided phytoremediation is gaining attention as it is an eco-friendly, affordable, and technically advanced method to restore the ecosystem. It is essential to understand the complex interaction between plants and microbes. The primary function of plant… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Predictive maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing equipment failures and minimizing operational downtime in modern industries. However, traditional predictive maintenance methods often face challenges in adapting to diverse industrial environments and ensuring the transparency and fairness of their predictions. This paper presents a novel predictive maintenance framework that integrates deep learning and optimization techniques while addressing key ethical considerations, such as transparency, fairness, and explainability, in artificial intelligence driven decision-making. The framework employs an Autoencoder for feature reduction, a Convolutional Neural Network for pattern recognition, and a Long Short-Term Memory network for temporal analysis.… More >

Abstract Relation extraction plays a crucial role in numerous downstream tasks. Dialogue relation extraction focuses on identifying relations between two arguments within a given dialogue. To tackle the problem of low information density in dialogues, methods based on trigger enhancement have been proposed, yielding positive results. However, trigger enhancement faces challenges, which cause suboptimal model performance. First, the proportion of annotated triggers is low in DialogRE. Second, feature representations of triggers and arguments often contain conflicting information. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Feature Filtering and Fusion trigger enhancement approach to overcome these limitations. We first… More >

Abstract Entity relation extraction, a fundamental and essential task in natural language processing (NLP), has garnered significant attention over an extended period., aiming to extract the core of semantic knowledge from unstructured text, i.e., entities and the relations between them. At present, the main dilemma of Chinese entity relation extraction research lies in nested entities, relation overlap, and lack of entity relation interaction. This dilemma is particularly prominent in complex knowledge extraction tasks with high-density knowledge, imprecise syntactic structure, and lack of semantic roles. To address these challenges, this paper presents an innovative “character-level” Chinese part-of-speech… More >

Abstract Software defect prediction is a critical component in maintaining software quality, enabling early identification and resolution of issues that could lead to system failures and significant financial losses. With the increasing reliance on user-generated content, social media reviews have emerged as a valuable source of real-time feedback, offering insights into potential software defects that traditional testing methods may overlook. However, existing models face challenges like handling imbalanced data, high computational complexity, and insufficient integration of contextual information from these reviews. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces the SESDP (Sentiment Analysis-Based Early Software Defect Prediction)… More >
