Abstract Predicting player performance in sports is a critical challenge with significant implications for team success, fan engagement, and financial outcomes. Although, in Major League Baseball (MLB), statistical methodologies such as sabermetrics have been widely used, the dynamic nature of sports makes accurate performance prediction a difficult task. Enhanced forecasts can provide immense value to team managers by aiding strategic player contract and acquisition decisions. This study addresses this challenge by employing the temporal fusion transformer (TFT), an advanced and cutting-edge deep learning model for complex data, to predict pitchers’ earned run average (ERA), a key More >

Abstract Grains are the most important food consumed globally, yet their yield can be severely impacted by pest infestations. Addressing this issue, scientists and researchers strive to enhance the yield-to-seed ratio through effective pest detection methods. Traditional approaches often rely on preprocessed datasets, but there is a growing need for solutions that utilize real-time images of pests in their natural habitat. Our study introduces a novel two-step approach to tackle this challenge. Initially, raw images with complex backgrounds are captured. In the subsequent step, feature extraction is performed using both hand-crafted algorithms (Haralick, LBP, and Color… More >

Abstract Ensuring that autonomous vehicles maintain high precision and rapid response capabilities in complex and dynamic driving environments is a critical challenge in the field of autonomous driving. This study aims to enhance the learning efficiency of multi-sensor feature fusion in autonomous driving tasks, thereby improving the safety and responsiveness of the system. To achieve this goal, we propose an innovative multi-sensor feature fusion model that integrates three distinct modalities: visual, radar, and lidar data. The model optimizes the feature fusion process through the introduction of two novel mechanisms: Sparse Channel Pooling (SCP) and Residual Triplet-Attention… More >

Abstract Globally, skin cancer is a prevalent form of malignancy, and its early and accurate diagnosis is critical for patient survival. Clinical evaluation of skin lesions is essential, but several challenges, such as long waiting times and subjective interpretations, make this task difficult. The recent advancement of deep learning in healthcare has shown much success in diagnosing and classifying skin cancer and has assisted dermatologists in clinics. Deep learning improves the speed and precision of skin cancer diagnosis, leading to earlier prediction and treatment. In this work, we proposed a novel deep architecture for skin cancer… More >

Abstract High-speed train engine rolling bearings play a crucial role in maintaining engine health and minimizing operational losses during train operation. To solve the problems of low accuracy of the diagnostic model and unstable model due to the influence of noise during fault detection, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis model based on cross-attention fusion of WDCNN and BILSTM is proposed. The first layer of the wide convolutional kernel deep convolutional neural network (WDCNN) is used to extract the local features of the signal and suppress the high-frequency noise. A Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BILSTM) is… More >

Abstract Multi-modal Named Entity Recognition (MNER) aims to better identify meaningful textual entities by integrating information from images. Previous work has focused on extracting visual semantics at a fine-grained level, or obtaining entity related external knowledge from knowledge bases or Large Language Models (LLMs). However, these approaches ignore the poor semantic correlation between visual and textual modalities in MNER datasets and do not explore different multi-modal fusion approaches. In this paper, we present MMAVK, a multi-modal named entity recognition model with auxiliary visual knowledge and word-level fusion, which aims to leverage the Multi-modal Large Language Model… More >

Abstract With the large-scale promotion of distributed photovoltaics, new challenges have emerged in the photovoltaic consumption within distribution networks. Traditional photovoltaic consumption schemes have primarily focused on static analysis. However, as the scale of photovoltaic power generation devices grows and the methods of integration diversify, a single consumption scheme is no longer sufficient to meet the actual needs of current distribution networks. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal evaluation method for photovoltaic consumption schemes based on BASS model predictions of installed capacity, aiming to provide an effective tool for generating and evaluating photovoltaic consumption schemes in… More > Graphic Abstract
