In recent years, DNA has been regarded as a reliable raw material for building biological computers and biochips due to its nanoscale size, ultralow energy consumption, and high-performance computing potential. As the basis of building a biological computer, the research on the construction of nanoscale logic arithmetic and nanoscale biochemical logic circuits based on DNA molecules as carriers has attracted increasing attention. Although researchers use DNA strand replacement systems to achieve it this requires adjustment and careful design of the toehold, making sequence selection more difficult. To reduce dependence on the toehold, we propose a 3-way DNAzyme complex composed of three E6 DNAzymes assembled using the biological characteristics of E6 DNAzyme. This complex enriched the recognition vector of E6 DNAzyme, which can be used for multiple substrates, thus improving the reusability and efficiency of DNA molecules. At the same time, based on the 3-way DNAzyme complex and without the involvement of the toehold, we designed logic gates such as the OR gate, the AND gate, and the INHIBIT gate, and realized the construction of a new half subtractor and nanoscale biochemical logic circuit. These explorations and attempts extended the practicality of the 3-way DNAzyme complex. We believe that these logic elements will have a wide range of applications in DNA nanoscale programming, biological computing, and nanoscale medicine.

Recent advances in graph representation learning provide new opportunities for computational drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction. Inspired by the emerging graph mutual information-based algorithms, we propose MMIDTI, a multi-level mutual information-aware DTI prediction framework based on a heterogeneous network (i.e., drug-protein, drug-drug and protein-protein interaction network; drug-disease, drug-side-effect, and protein-disease association network; drug-structure and protein-sequence similarity network). More specifically, MMIDTI leverages an encoder-decoder framework that can learn the type-aware and meta-path augmented node representations by following a contrastive learning paradigm. The encoder part is a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and the decoder is an inner product of the learned representations to recover the original heterogeneous network. Meanwhile, MMIDTI exploits two levels of mutual information: (1) maximizing local mutual information, to obtain node representations that capture the global information content of the entire heterogeneous graph. (2) maximizing the global mutual information, to constrain the node representation to have desired statistical characteristics. Experimental results show that our model can achieve better prediction performance than state-of-the-art methods.

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) using a simple consumer-level webcam has great potential for healthcare, human-computer interaction, affective computing, and many other fields. However, traditional methods based on the skin reflection model and signal processing achieved limited success. Thus, this paper presents a novel end-to-end spatial-temporal convolutional neural network for the rPPG recovering task: To preserve the details, the pooling layer is moved to the branch network, and the attention mechanism is used to enhance the backbone network performance. Moreover, the ConvLSTM was used to learn the relationship between frames. The manual features extraction and signal post-processing steps can be omitted through our end-to-end neural network. The experimental results conducted on PURE and COHFACE datasets show that the proposed method significantly improved the quality of the recovered rPPG signal.

In recent years, deep neural networks have been widely concerned by researchers in facial expression recognition. However, insufficient facial training data of the public available database is a major challenge in deep learning, which will lead to an obvious decrease in the effectiveness of learning result; many data augmentation techniques have thus been widely used to enrich the training dataset. In this paper, we introduce a contextual loss function to construct a Contextual Generation Adversarial Network with one generator and one discriminator. The proposed method can map the neutral expression to six basic expressions to expand the database. The experimental results on CK + and KDEF databases show that the proposed method can effectively improve the ability to extract facial features and the ability to generate higher quality images. The data augmentation used the proposed method improves the recognition rate of facial expressions on KDEF and CK + datasets.

In recent years, Text-To-Speech (TTS) technology has developed rapidly. People have also been paying more attention to how to narrow the gap between synthetic speech and real speech, hoping that synthesized speech can be integrated with real rhythm. A rhythmic feature embedding method for Text-To-Speech was proposed in this thesis based on Tacotron2 model, which has arisen in the field of TTS in recent years. Firstly, rhythmic feature extraction through World vocoder can reduce redundant information in rhythmic features. Then, rhythmic feature fusion based on Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) network can enhance rhythmic information. Experiments are carried out on the data set LJSpeech-1.0, and then subjective evaluation and objective evaluation are carried out on the synthesized speech respectively. Compared with the comparative literature, the subjective blind hearing test (ABX) score increased by 25%. At that same time, the objective Mel Cepstral Distortion value (MCD) declined to 12.77.

This paper proposes a novel bio-inspired termite queen algorithm (TQA) to solve optimization problems by simulating the division of labor in termite populations under a queen’s rule. TQA is benchmarked on a set of 23 functions to test its performance at solving global optimization problems, and applied to six real-world engineering design problems to verify its reliability and effectiveness. Comparative simulation studies with other algorithms are conducted, from whose results it is observed that TQA satisfactorily solves global optimization problems and engineering design problems.

DNA strand replacement technology has the advantages of simple operation which makes it becomes a common method of DNA computing. A four bit binary number Complementer based on two-domain DNA strand displacement is proposed in this paper. It implements the function of converting binary code into complement code. Simulation experiment based on Visual DSD software is carried out. The simulation results show the correctness and feasibility of the logic model of the Complementer, and it makes useful exploration for further expanding the application of molecular logic circuit.
