Abstract Deep learning-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis has been widely applied due to its advantages in end-to-end feature extraction. However, several challenges remain. First, signal noise collected during blade operation masks fault features, severely impairing the fault diagnosis performance of deep learning models. Second, current blade fault diagnosis often relies on single-sensor data, resulting in limited monitoring dimensions and ability to comprehensively capture complex fault states. To address these issues, a multi-sensor fusion-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis method is proposed. Specifically, a CNN-Transformer Coupled Feature Learning Architecture is constructed to enhance the ability to More >

Abstract In multi-domain neural machine translation tasks, the disparity in data distribution between domains poses significant challenges in distinguishing domain features and sharing parameters across domains. This paper proposes a Transformer-based multi-domain-aware mixture of experts model. To address the problem of domain feature differentiation, a mixture of experts (MoE) is introduced into attention to enhance the domain perception ability of the model, thereby improving the domain feature differentiation. To address the trade-off between domain feature distinction and cross-domain parameter sharing, we propose a domain-aware mixture of experts (DMoE). A domain-aware gating mechanism is introduced within the… More >

Abstract Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks pose severe threats to Industrial Control Networks (ICNs), where service disruption can cause significant economic losses and operational risks. Existing signature-based methods are ineffective against novel attacks, and traditional machine learning models struggle to capture the complex temporal dependencies and dynamic traffic patterns inherent in ICN environments. To address these challenges, this study proposes a deep feature-driven hybrid framework that integrates Transformer, BiLSTM, and KNN to achieve accurate and robust DDoS detection. The Transformer component extracts global temporal dependencies from network traffic flows, while BiLSTM captures fine-grained sequential dynamics. The learned… More >

Abstract Foreign body classification on coal conveyor belts is a critical component of intelligent coal mining systems. Previous approaches have primarily utilized convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to effectively integrate spatial and semantic information. However, the performance of CNN-based methods remains limited in classification accuracy, primarily due to insufficient exploration of local image characteristics. Unlike CNNs, Vision Transformer (ViT) captures discriminative features by modeling relationships between local image patches. However, such methods typically require a large number of training samples to perform effectively. In the context of foreign body classification on coal conveyor belts, the limited availability… More >

Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality world-wide, with accurate molecular subtyping is critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes. Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry (IHC) test is invasive, time-consuming, and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity. This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes. Four pretrained models, including two Convolutional Neural Networks (MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16) and two Vision Transformers (ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224) were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched, Luminal, Normal-like, and Triple Negative subtypes. Hyperparameter tuning,… More >

Abstract Industrial operators need reliable communication in high-noise, safety-critical environments where speech or touch input is often impractical. Existing gesture systems either miss real-time deadlines on resource-constrained hardware or lose accuracy under occlusion, vibration, and lighting changes. We introduce Industrial EdgeSign, a dual-path framework that combines hardware-aware neural architecture search (NAS) with large multimodal model (LMM) guided semantics to deliver robust, low-latency gesture recognition on edge devices. The searched model uses a truncated ResNet50 front end, a dimensional-reduction network that preserves spatiotemporal structure for tubelet-based attention, and localized Transformer layers tuned for on-device inference. To reduce… More >

Abstract Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved flood detection and segmentation from aerial and satellite imagery. However, conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often struggle in complex flood scenarios involving reflections, occlusions, or indistinct boundaries due to limited contextual modeling. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid flood segmentation framework that integrates a Vision Transformer (ViT) encoder with a U-Net decoder, enhanced by a novel Flood-Aware Refinement Block (FARB). The FARB module improves boundary delineation and suppresses noise by combining residual smoothing with spatial-channel attention mechanisms. We evaluate our model on a UAV-acquired flood More >

Abstract Traffic flow prediction constitutes a fundamental component of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), playing a pivotal role in mitigating congestion, enhancing route optimization, and improving the utilization efficiency of roadway infrastructure. However, existing methods struggle in complex traffic scenarios due to static spatio-temporal embedding, restricted multi-scale temporal modeling, and weak representation of local spatial interactions. This study proposes Bi-STAT+, an enhanced bidirectional spatio-temporal attention framework to address existing limitations through three principal contributions: (1) an adaptive spatio-temporal embedding module that dynamically adjusts embeddings to capture complex traffic variations; (2) frequency-domain analysis in the temporal dimension for… More >

Abstract Low-light image enhancement aims to improve the visibility of severely degraded images captured under insufficient illumination, alleviating the adverse effects of illumination degradation on image quality. Traditional Retinex-based approaches, inspired by human visual perception of brightness and color, decompose an image into illumination and reflectance components to restore fine details. However, their limited capacity for handling noise and complex lighting conditions often leads to distortions and artifacts in the enhanced results, particularly under extreme low-light scenarios. Although deep learning methods built upon Retinex theory have recently advanced the field, most still suffer from insufficient interpretability… More >

Abstract Brain tumors require precise segmentation for diagnosis and treatment plans due to their complex morphology and heterogeneous characteristics. While MRI-based automatic brain tumor segmentation technology reduces the burden on medical staff and provides quantitative information, existing methodologies and recent models still struggle to accurately capture and classify the fine boundaries and diverse morphologies of tumors. In order to address these challenges and maximize the performance of brain tumor segmentation, this research introduces a novel SwinUNETR-based model by integrating a new decoder block, the Hierarchical Channel-wise Attention Decoder (HCAD), into a powerful SwinUNETR encoder.
