Abstract The semantic complexity of large-scale malicious payloads in modern network traffic severely limits the robustness and generalization of existing Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). This limitation presents a major challenge to network security. This paper proposes a dual-branch intrusion detection method called CPS-IDS. This method fuses deep semantic features with statistical features. The first branch uses the DeBERTav2 module. It performs deep semantic modeling on the session payload. This branch also incorporates a Time Encoder. The Time Encoder models the temporal behavior of the packet arrival interval time series. A Cross-Attention mechanism achieves the joint modeling… More >

Abstract It is known that correlation does not imply causality. Some relationships identified in the analysis of data are coincidental or unknown, and some are produced by real-world causality of the situation, which is problematic, since there is a need to differentiate between these two scenarios. Until recently, the proper−semantic−causality of the relationship could have been determined only by human experts from the area of expertise of the studied data. This has changed with the advance of large language models, which are often utilized as surrogates for such human experts, making the process automated and readily… More >

Abstract Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) remains challenging due to underexposure, color distortion, and amplified noise introduced during illumination correction. Existing deep learning–based methods typically apply uniform enhancement across the entire image, which overlooks scene semantics and often leads to texture degradation or unnatural color reproduction. To overcome these limitations, we propose a Semantic-Guided Visual Mamba Network (SGVMNet) that unifies semantic reasoning, state-space modeling, and mixture-of-experts routing for adaptive illumination correction. SGVMNet comprises three key components: (1) a semantic modulation module (SMM) that extracts scene-aware semantic priors from pretrained multimodal models—Large Language and Vision Assistant (LLaVA) and… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem is inherently heterogeneous, comprising diverse devices that must interoperate seamlessly to enable federated message and data exchange. However, as the number of service requests grows, existing approaches suffer from increased discovery time and degraded Quality of Service (QoS). Moreover, the massive data generated by heterogeneous IoT devices often contain redundancy and noise, posing challenges to efficient data management. To address these issues, this paper proposes a lightweight ontology-based architecture that enhances service discovery and QoS-aware semantic data management. The architecture employs Modified-Ordered Points to Identify the Clustering Structure (M-OPTICS)… More >

Abstract The application of deep learning in fabric defect detection has become increasingly widespread. To address false positives and false negatives in fabric roll seam detection, and to improve automation efficiency and product quality, we propose the Multi-scale Context DeepLabV3+ (MSC-DeepLabV3+), a semantic segmentation network designed for fabric roll seam detection, based on DeepLabV3+. The model improvements include enhancing the backbone performance through optimization of the UIB-MobileNetV2 network; designing the Dynamic Atrous and Sliding-window Fusion (DASF) module to improve adaptability to multi-scale seam structures with dynamic dilation rates and a sliding-window mechanism; and utilizing the Progressive… More >

Abstract Phishing email detection represents a critical research challenge in cybersecurity. To address this, this paper proposes a novel Double-S (statistical-semantic) feature model based on three core entities involved in email communication: the sender, recipient, and email content. We employ strategic game theory to analyze the offensive strategies of phishing attackers and defensive strategies of protectors, extracting statistical features from these entities. We also leverage the Qwen large language model to excavate implicit semantic features (e.g., emotional manipulation and social engineering tactics) from email content. By integrating statistical and semantic features, our model achieves a robust More >

Abstract This paper presents an intelligent patrol and security robot integrating 2D LiDAR and RGB-D vision sensors to achieve semantic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), real-time object recognition, and dynamic obstacle avoidance. The system employs the YOLOv7 deep-learning framework for semantic detection and SLAM for localization and mapping, fusing geometric and visual data to build a high-fidelity 2D semantic map. This map enables the robot to identify and project object information for improved situational awareness. Experimental results show that object recognition reached 95.4% mAP@0.5. Semantic completeness increased from 68.7% (single view) to 94.1% (multi-view) with an More >

Abstract Stereo matching is a pivotal task in computer vision, enabling precise depth estimation from stereo image pairs, yet it encounters challenges in regions with reflections, repetitive textures, or fine structures. In this paper, we propose a Semantic-Guided Parallax Attention Stereo Matching Network (SGPASMnet) that can be trained in unsupervised manner, building upon the Parallax Attention Stereo Matching Network (PASMnet). Our approach leverages unsupervised learning to address the scarcity of ground truth disparity in stereo matching datasets, facilitating robust training across diverse scene-specific datasets and enhancing generalization. SGPASMnet incorporates two novel components: a Cross-Scale Feature Interaction… More >

Abstract Chinese abbreviations improve communicative efficiency by extracting key components from longer expressions. They are widely used in both daily communication and professional domains. However, existing abbreviation generation methods still face two major challenges. First, sequence-labeling-based approaches often neglect contextual meaning by making binary decisions at the character level, leading to abbreviations that fail to capture semantic completeness. Second, generation-based methods rely heavily on a single decoding process, which frequently produces correct abbreviations but ranks them lower due to inadequate semantic evaluation. To address these limitations, we propose a novel two-stage framework with Generation–Iterative Optimization for More >

Abstract Recent studies indicate that millions of individuals suffer from renal diseases, with renal carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, emerging as both a chronic illness and a significant cause of mortality. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) have become essential tools for diagnosing and assessing kidney disorders. However, accurate analysis of these medical images is critical for detecting and evaluating tumor severity. This study introduces an integrated hybrid framework that combines three complementary deep learning models for kidney tumor segmentation from MRI images. The proposed framework fuses a customized U-Net and Mask R-CNN… More >
