Knowledge Graph Enhanced Aspect-Level Sentiment Analysis

In this paper, we propose a novel method to enhance sentiment analysis by addressing the challenge of context-specific word meanings. It combines the advantages of a BERT model with a knowledge graph based synonym data. This synergy leverages a dynamic attention mechanism to develop a knowledge-driven state vector. For classifying sentiments linked to specific aspects, the approach constructs a memory bank integrating positional data. The data are then analyzed using a DCGRU to pinpoint sentiment characteristics related to specific aspect terms. Experiments on three widely used datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our method in sentiment classification.

Sparse Wearable Sonomyography Sensor-based Proprioceptive Proportional Control Across Multiple Gestures

Sonomyography (SMG) is a non-invasive technique that uses ultrasound imaging to detect the dynamic activity of muscles. Wearable SMG systems have recently gained popularity due to their potential as human-computer interfaces for their superior performance compared to conventional methods. This paper demonstrates real-time positional proportional control of multiple gestures using a multiplexed 8-channel wearable SMG system. The amplitude-mode ultrasound signals from the SMG system were utilized to detect muscle activity from the forearm of 8 healthy individuals. The derived signals were used to control the on-screen movement of the cursor. A target achievement task was performed to analyze the performance of our SMG-based human-machine interface. Our wearable SMG system provided accurate, stable, and intuitive control in real-time by achieving an average success rate greater than 80% with all gestures. Furthermore, the wearable SMG system's abilities to detect volitional movement and decode movement kinematic information from SMG trajectories using standard performance metrics were evaluated. Our results provide insights to validate SMG as an intuitive human-machine interface.

Observation of anti-parity-time-symmetry, phase transitions and exceptional points in an optical fibre

The exotic physics emerging in non-Hermitian systems with balanced distributions of gain and loss has drawn a great deal of attention in recent years. These systems exhibit phase transitions and exceptional point singularities in their spectra, at which eigen-values and eigen-modes coalesce and the overall dimensionality is reduced. Among several peculiar phenomena observed at exceptional points, an especially intriguing property, with relevant practical potential, consists in the inherently enhanced sensitivity to small-scale perturbations. So far, however, these principles have been implemented at the expenses of precise fabrication and tuning requirements, involving tailored nano-structured devices with controlled distributions of optical gain and loss. In this work, anti-parity-time symmetric phase transitions and exceptional point singularities are demonstrated in a single strand of standard single-mode telecommunication fibre, using a setup consisting of entirely of off-the-shelf components. Two propagating signals are amplified and coupled through stimulated Brillouin scattering, which makes the process non-Hermitian and enables exquisite control over gain and loss. Singular response to small variations around the exceptional point and topological features arising around this singularity are experimentally demonstrated with large precision, enabling robustly enhanced spectral response to small-scale changes in the Brillouin frequency shift. Our findings open exciting opportunities for the exploration of non-Hermitian phenomena over a table-top setup, with straightforward extensions to higher-order Hamiltonians and applications in quantum optics, nanophotonics and sensing.
