Commonsense reasoning is one of the abilities necessary for artificial intelligence to be as intelligent as humans. However, how to make AI understand commonsense has been a problem that has plagued artificial intelligence for more than 60 years. Existing efforts focus more on the means of knowledge acquisition and strive to enrich the capacity of commonsense knowledge (CSK) bases and dimensions of CSK through advanced methods. Unfortunately, this exuberance has obscured a general consideration of CSK, such as how to follow human habits to obtain the most representative knowledge we need to understand the world. In this paper, this representative knowledge is referred to as core CSK. The influence of core CSK is extensive, and it constitutes almost the fundamental element of human life and the most fundamental cognition of the world. Harnessing human curiosity to find solutions to the above problems is an effective and straightforward route. Specifically, we focus on a special corpus to mine core CSK, namely, why-questions. For example, we can harvest “the sky is blue” from “why is the sky blue?”. To this end, we propose a novel method to extract CSK from why-questions, which mainly consist of two modules. The first is a question classification module used to determine whether a question contains CSK. In this module, we propose a classifier based on a one-sided bootstrapping method and design several informative features for the classifier. The second is a crowdsourcing module used to improve the quality of the extracted commonsense. We conduct extensive experiments, and the experimental results show that our method effectively mines CSK from question corpora. Furthermore, statistical analysis demonstrates the feasibility of this curiosity-driven approach, implying that we provide a basic idea for collecting core CSK. Remarkably, today’s outstanding large language models do not have such simple knowledge summarization capabilities, demonstrating the barrier between

Cyber security is dynamic as defenders often need to adapt their defense postures. The state-ofthe-art is that the adaptation of network defense is done manually(i.e., tedious and error-prone). The ideal solution is to automate adaptive network defense, which is however a difficult problem. As a first step towards automation, we propose investigating how to attain semi-automated adaptive network defense(SAND). We propose an approach extending the architecture of software-defined networking, which is centered on providing defenders with the capability to program the generation and deployment of dynamic defense rules enforced by network defense tools. We present the design and implementation of SAND, as well as the evaluation of the prototype implementation. Experimental results show that SAND can achieve agile and effective dynamic adaptations of defense rules(less than 15 ms on average for each operation), while only incurring a small performance overhead.

Ensuring the safe navigation of autonomous vehicles in intelligent transportation system depends on their ability to detect pedestrians and vehicles. While transformer-based models for object detection have shown remarkable advancements, accurately identifying pedestrians and vehicles in adverse weather conditions remains a challenging task. Adverse weather introduces image quality degradation, leading to issues such as low contrast, reduced visibility, blurred edges, false detection, misdetection of tiny objects, and other impediments that further complicate the accuracy of detection. This paper introduces a novel Pedestrian and Vehicle Detection Model under adverse weather conditions, denoted as PVDM-YOLOv8l. In our proposed model, we first incorporate the Swin-Transformer method, which is designed for global extraction of feature of small objects to identify in poor visibility, into the YOLOv8l backbone structure. To enhance detection accuracy and address the impact of inaccurate features on recognition performance, CBAM is integrated between the neck and head networks of YOLOv8l, aiming to gather crucial information and obtain essential data. Finally, we adopted the loss function Wise-IOU v3. This function was implemented to mitigate the adverse effects of low-quality instances by minimizing negative gradients. Additionally, we enhanced and augmented the DAWN dataset and created a custom dataset, named DAWN2024, to cater to the specific requirements of our study. To verify the superiority of PVDM-YOLOV8l, its performance was compared against several commonly used object detectors, including YOLOv3, YOLOv3-tiny, YOLOv3-spp, YOLOv5, YOLOv6, and all the versions of YOLOv8 (n, m, s, l, and x) and some traditional models. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model achieved a 6.6%, 5.4%, 6%, and 5.1% improvement in precision, recall, F1-score and mean Average Precision (mAP) on the custom DAWN2024 dataset. This substantial improvement in accuracy ind
