Abstract As social networks become increasingly complex, contemporary fake news often includes textual descriptions of events accompanied by corresponding images or videos. Fake news in multiple modalities is more likely to create a misleading perception among users. While early research primarily focused on text-based features for fake news detection mechanisms, there has been relatively limited exploration of learning shared representations in multimodal (text and visual) contexts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a multimodal model for detecting fake news, which relies on similarity reasoning and adversarial networks. The model employs Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) and Text Convolutional Neural… More >

Abstract In the face of the increasingly severe Botnet problem on the Internet, how to effectively detect Botnet traffic in real-time has become a critical problem. Although the existing deep Q network (DQN) algorithm in Deep reinforcement learning can solve the problem of real-time updating, its prediction results are always higher than the actual results. In Botnet traffic detection, although it performs well in the training set, the accuracy rate of predicting traffic is as high as%; however, in the test set, its accuracy has declined, and it is impossible to adjust its prediction strategy on time based on new data… More >

Abstract Fusing hand-based features in multi-modal biometric recognition enhances anti-spoofing capabilities. Additionally, it leverages inter-modal correlation to enhance recognition performance. Concurrently, the robustness and recognition performance of the system can be enhanced through judiciously leveraging the correlation among multimodal features. Nevertheless, two issues persist in multi-modal feature fusion recognition: Firstly, the enhancement of recognition performance in fusion recognition has not comprehensively considered the inter-modality correlations among distinct modalities. Secondly, during modal fusion, improper weight selection diminishes the salience of crucial modal features, thereby diminishing the overall recognition performance. To address these two issues, we introduce an enhanced DenseNet multimodal recognition network… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Automatic segmentation of medical images provides a reliable scientific basis for disease diagnosis and analysis. Notably, most existing methods that combine the strengths of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers have made significant progress. However, there are some limitations in the current integration of CNN and Transformer technology in two key aspects. Firstly, most methods either overlook or fail to fully incorporate the complementary nature between local and global features. Secondly, the significance of integrating the multi-scale encoder features from the dual-branch network to enhance the decoding features is often disregarded in methods that combine CNN and Transformer. To address… More >

Abstract Automatic crack detection of cement pavement chiefly benefits from the rapid development of deep learning, with convolutional neural networks (CNN) playing an important role in this field. However, as the performance of crack detection in cement pavement improves, the depth and width of the network structure are significantly increased, which necessitates more computing power and storage space. This limitation hampers the practical implementation of crack detection models on various platforms, particularly portable devices like small mobile devices. To solve these problems, we propose a dual-encoder-based network architecture that focuses on extracting more comprehensive fracture feature information and combines cross-fusion modules… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The safety and stability of high-speed maglev trains traveling on viaducts in crosswinds critically depend on their aerodynamic characteristics. Therefore, this paper uses an improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method to investigate the aerodynamic features of high-speed maglev trains with different marshaling lengths under crosswinds. The effects of marshaling lengths (varying from 3-car to 8-car groups) on the train’s aerodynamic performance, surface pressure, and the flow field surrounding the train were investigated using the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The results showed that the marshaling lengths had minimal influence on the aerodynamic performance of the head and middle… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Web application fingerprint recognition is an effective security technology designed to identify and classify web applications, thereby enhancing the detection of potential threats and attacks. Traditional fingerprint recognition methods, which rely on preannotated feature matching, face inherent limitations due to the ever-evolving nature and diverse landscape of web applications. In response to these challenges, this work proposes an innovative web application fingerprint recognition method founded on clustering techniques. The method involves extensive data collection from the Tranco List, employing adjusted feature selection built upon Wappalyzer and noise reduction through truncated SVD dimensionality reduction. The core of the methodology lies in… More >

Abstract Background: The specific impact of sphingolipid metabolism on developing hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between sphingolipid metabolism and HCC prognosis, immune response, and drug sensitivity. Methods: Data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO, GSE14520 datasets). 47 sphingolipid metabolism genes were obtained from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. After classifying HCC samples using the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) clustering method, differentially expressed genes were screened. Then, 8 risk genes were obtained by univariate analysis, survival random forest reduction and lasso analysis.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In multi-label learning, the label-specific features learning framework can effectively solve the dimensional catastrophe problem brought by high-dimensional data. The classification performance and robustness of the model are effectively improved. Most existing label-specific features learning utilizes the cosine similarity method to measure label correlation. It is well known that the correlation between labels is asymmetric. However, existing label-specific features learning only considers the private features of labels in classification and does not take into account the common features of labels. Based on this, this paper proposes a Causality-driven Common and Label-specific Features Learning, named CCSF algorithm. Firstly, the causal learning… More >

Abstract In recent years, deep learning methods have developed rapidly and found application in many fields, including natural language processing. In the field of aspect-level sentiment analysis, deep learning methods can also greatly improve the performance of models. However, previous studies did not take into account the relationship between user feature extraction and contextual terms. To address this issue, we use data feature extraction and deep learning combined to develop an aspect-level sentiment analysis method. To be specific, we design user comment feature extraction (UCFE) to distill salient features from users’ historical comments and transform them into representative user feature vectors.… More >
