The potential imbalances among entities and connections within complex systems can pose significant threats to their overall functionality. In order to enhance the functional security of these complex systems, it becomes imperative to address and alleviate these underlying imbalances. Structural balance computation has gained attention because of its ability to balance relationships among entities within systems. Traditional methods in structural balance computation aim to minimize imbalances within signed networkss. However, signed networkss have limitations in effectively representing complex data relationships in multi-modal or multi-type data. In order to address this constraint, we propose a novel framework called SHMA (Structural Balance of Signed Hypergraphs based on Memetic Algorithm) which aims to identify and minimize imbalances within signed hypergraphs. More specifically, we formulate the degree of imbalance in signed hypergraphs as an extended energy function, thereby transforming the computation of structural balance of the hypergraphs into an optimization problem. Then, we utilize a multi-level memetic algorithm to optimize the energy function and obtain a solution with the least imbalances. To assess the performance of SHMA, we performed experiments on various real-world datasets and conducted a comparative analysis. The experimental results illustrate that SHMA outperforms the alternative algorithms in terms of structural balance computation of signed hypergraphs. In addition, SHMA exhibits fast convergence, enabling it to reach a balanced state more efficiently.

Precise and accurate skeletal age estimation using medical imaging is a pivotal and challenging task in the healthcare sector, particularly for identifying potential bone growth issues in infants and newborns. Therefore, this study addresses the pervasive challenges associated with assessing bone abnormalities in pediatric patients, including injuries and infections. Given the importance of early and precise detection of skeletal development, a novel hybrid model is proposed that integrates a modified convolutional neural network (M-CNN) with a robust machine learning (ML) model, specifically random forest (RF), resulting in the M-CNN-RF framework. This model is designed to enhance pediatric bone health assessment by providing an effective method for skeletal age estimation. The M-CNN-RF model is tailored to accurately evaluate hand bone maturation, overcoming the inherent difficulties in skeletal age assessment. The model utilizes the bone age dataset from the Radiological Society of North America that includes 14,236 left-hand radiological images, focusing on the development of a robust model for a precise evaluation based on hand skeleton guidelines. In addition, to enhance the prediction and generalization of the model, data augmentation techniques were employed to increase the size of the dataset. The M-CNN-RF exhibits exceptional performance using numerous performance measures, achieving an accuracy of 97% and precision and recall exceeding 94%. In addition, the model reaches an F1 score of 97%, highlighting the ability of the model to ensure a balance between precision and recall. Furthermore, low mean absolute error (MAE) and mean square error (MSE) values of 0.0141 and 0.0327, respectively, were computed for the proposed model, which demonstrates its notable efficacy in predicting skeletal age. The findings of this study not only contribute valuable information for clinical applications but also underscore the potential of the adopted approach to address th

Within restaurant settings, robotic assistants are required to interact with different users in different scenarios. Adaptive behavior is essential when providing quality services, facilitating natural interactions, and influencing perceptions on social intelligence, helpfulness, and willingness to accept recommendations. Informed by our previous review on culturalization/localization and personalization in the field of human-robot interaction, this paper exemplifies how to apply relevant knowledge on communication and language, behavior and service, proxemics, and interface design, to propose a design strategy for an adaptable restaurant robot. The prospective robot is intended to be able to adapt its behaviors and speech to different users across different restaurant settings and countries. Specifically, the robot will respond to four common scenarios within restaurant settings: greeting customers, making simple recommendations, providing assistance and giving directions. Technical solutions are also considered and include: 1) mechanical design, 2) navigation and localization system, 3) perception, 4) speech, 5) gestures and 6) additional tools.

With the development of the internet, online shopping has gradually become a popular way of shopping among the general public, which in turn poses a greater challenge to the e-commerce logistics network. Predicting the volume of goods for each logistics site and route, and establishing a model for quickly adjusting the network in response to sudden situations can save logistics network costs and improve its efficiency. Therefore, this article has done the following work: first, it establishes an effective logistics network volume prediction model; second, for the two scenarios of network structure that cannot be modified and can be modified, it provides a model that can effectively guide the adjustment of the volume of goods on each route when a logistics site is closed; finally, it establishes a logistics network evaluation model to evaluate the importance of logistics sites and routes.

Due to low storage cost and fast query speed, deep hashing methods are widely used in cross-modal retrieval. However, the “heterogeneous gap” between multi-modal data is still a challenge. Moreover, a major difficulty in deep hashing lies in the discrete constraints imposed on the network output. Existing solutions usually use relaxation techniques, but this inevitably produces quantization error, leading to sub-optimal hash code. In this paper, we propose Adversarial Guided Gradient Estimation Hashing (AGEH). Firstly, in order to bridge the heterogeneous gap between different modal data, a cross-modal adversarial feature learning network is constructed to learn cross-modal semantic associations. Secondly, to solve the discrete optimization problem of hash code, we propose a hashing optimization strategy based on gradient estimation for sign function, which strictly uses sign function to maintain discrete constraints in forward propagation, while in back propagation, the gradient is directly transmitted to the previous layer and thus avoid quantization error. Extensive experiments conducted on two cross-modal benchmark datasets show that our proposed AGEH outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.
