Abstract Named Entity Recognition (NER) stands as a fundamental task within the field of biomedical text mining, aiming to extract specific types of entities such as genes, proteins, and diseases from complex biomedical texts and categorize them into predefined entity types. This process can provide basic support for the automatic construction of knowledge bases. In contrast to general texts, biomedical texts frequently contain numerous nested entities and local dependencies among these entities, presenting significant challenges to prevailing NER models. To address these issues, we propose a novel Chinese nested biomedical NER model based on RoBERTa and Global Pointer (RoBGP). Our model… More >

Abstract Model checking is an automated formal verification method to verify whether epistemic multi-agent systems adhere to property specifications. Although there is an extensive literature on qualitative properties such as safety and liveness, there is still a lack of quantitative and uncertain property verifications for these systems. In uncertain environments, agents must make judicious decisions based on subjective epistemic. To verify epistemic and measurable properties in multi-agent systems, this paper extends fuzzy computation tree logic by introducing epistemic modalities and proposing a new Fuzzy Computation Tree Logic of Knowledge (FCTLK). We represent fuzzy multi-agent systems as distributed knowledge bases with fuzzy… More >

Abstract Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fundamental area of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Within ABSA, Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction (ASQP) aims to accurately identify sentiment quadruplets in target sentences, including aspect terms, aspect categories, corresponding opinion terms, and sentiment polarity. However, most existing research has focused on English datasets. Consequently, while ASQP has seen significant progress in English, the Chinese ASQP task has remained relatively stagnant. Drawing inspiration from methods applied to English ASQP, we propose Chinese generation templates and employ prompt-based instruction learning to enhance the model’s understanding of the task, ultimately improving ASQP performance in the… More >

Abstract In recent years, how to efficiently and accurately identify multi-model fake news has become more challenging. First, multi-model data provides more evidence but not all are equally important. Secondly, social structure information has proven to be effective in fake news detection and how to combine it while reducing the noise information is critical. Unfortunately, existing approaches fail to handle these problems. This paper proposes a multi-model fake news detection framework based on Tex-modal Dominance and fusing Multiple Multi-model Cues (TD-MMC), which utilizes three valuable multi-model clues: text-model importance, text-image complementary, and text-image inconsistency. TD-MMC is dominated by textural content and… More >

Abstract X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) enables non-destructive acquisition of the internal structure of materials, and image segmentation plays a crucial role in analyzing material XCT images. This paper proposes an image segmentation method based on the Segment Anything model (SAM). We constructed a dataset of carbide in nickel-based single crystal superalloys XCT images and preprocessed the images using median filtering, histogram equalization, and gamma correction. Subsequently, SAM was fine-tuned to adapt to the task of material XCT image segmentation, resulting in Material-SAM. We compared the performance of threshold segmentation, SAM, U-Net model, and Material-SAM. Our method achieved 88.45% Class Pixel Accuracy… More >

Abstract Video streaming applications have grown considerably in recent years. As a result, this becomes one of the most significant contributors to global internet traffic. According to recent studies, the telecommunications industry loses millions of dollars due to poor video Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. Among the standard proposals for standardizing the quality of video streaming over internet service providers (ISPs) is the Mean Opinion Score (MOS). However, the accurate finding of QoE by MOS is subjective and laborious, and it varies depending on the user. A fully automated data analytics framework is required to reduce the inter-operator variability characteristic… More >

Abstract Image classification and unsupervised image segmentation can be achieved using the Gaussian mixture model. Although the Gaussian mixture model enhances the flexibility of image segmentation, it does not reflect spatial information and is sensitive to the segmentation parameter. In this study, we first present an efficient algorithm that incorporates spatial information into the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) without parameter estimation. The proposed model highlights the residual region with considerable information and constructs color saliency. Second, we incorporate the content-based color saliency as spatial information in the Gaussian mixture model. The segmentation is performed by clustering each pixel into an appropriate… More >

Abstract Wireless Network security management is difficult because of the ever-increasing number of wireless network malfunctions, vulnerabilities, and assaults. Complex security systems, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), are essential due to the limitations of simpler security measures, such as cryptography and firewalls. Due to their compact nature and low energy reserves, wireless networks present a significant challenge for security procedures. The features of small cells can cause threats to the network. Network Coding (NC) enabled small cells are vulnerable to various types of attacks. Avoiding attacks and performing secure “peer” to “peer” data transmission is a challenging task in small… More >

Abstract The extensive utilization of the Internet in everyday life can be attributed to the substantial accessibility of online services and the growing significance of the data transmitted via the Internet. Regrettably, this development has expanded the potential targets that hackers might exploit. Without adequate safeguards, data transmitted on the internet is significantly more susceptible to unauthorized access, theft, or alteration. The identification of unauthorised access attempts is a critical component of cybersecurity as it aids in the detection and prevention of malicious attacks. This research paper introduces a novel intrusion detection framework that utilizes Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) integrated with… More >
