A Semantic-Enhanced Heterogeneous Graph Learning Method for Flexible Objects Recognition

Flexible objects recognition remains a significant challenge due to its inherently diverse shapes and sizes, translucent attributes, and subtle inter-class differences. Graph-based models, such as graph convolution networks and graph vision models, are promising in flexible objects recognition due to their ability of capturing variable relations within the flexible objects. These methods, however, often focus on global visual relationships or fail to align semantic and visual information. To alleviate these limitations, we propose a semantic-enhanced heterogeneous graph learning method. First, an adaptive scanning module is employed to extract discriminative semantic context, facilitating the matching of flexible objects with varying shapes and sizes while aligning semantic and visual nodes to enhance cross-modal feature correlation. Second, a heterogeneous graph generation module aggregates global visual and local semantic node features, improving the recognition of flexible objects. Additionally, We introduce the FSCW, a large-scale flexible dataset curated from existing sources. We validate our method through extensive experiments on flexible datasets (FDA and FSCW), and challenge benchmarks (CIFAR-100 and ImageNet-Hard), demonstrating competitive performance.

Temporal Reversal Regularization for Spiking Neural Networks: Hybrid Spatio-Temporal Invariance for Generalization

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have received widespread attention as an ultra-low power computing paradigm. Recent studies have shown that SNNs suffer from severe overfitting, which limits their generalization performance. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective Temporal Reversal Regularization (TRR) to mitigate overfitting during training and facilitate generalization of SNNs. We exploit the inherent temporal properties of SNNs to perform input/feature temporal reversal perturbations, prompting the SNN to produce original-reversed consistent outputs and learn perturbation-invariant representations. To further enhance generalization, we utilize the lightweight ``star operation" (Hadamard product) for feature hybridization of original and temporally reversed spike firing rates, which expands the implicit dimensionality and acts as a spatio-temporal regularizer. We show theoretically that our method is able to tighten the upper bound of the generalization error, and extensive experiments on static/neuromorphic recognition as well as 3D point cloud classification tasks demonstrate its effectiveness, versatility, and adversarial robustness. In particular, our regularization significantly improves the recognition accuracy of low-latency SNN for neuromorphic objects, contributing to the real-world deployment of neuromorphic computational software-hardware integration.

A Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface Using Motor Imagery and SSVEP Based on Convolutional Neural Network

The key to electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) lies in neural decoding, and its accuracy can be improved by using hybrid BCI paradigms, that is, fusing multiple paradigms. However, hybrid BCIs usually require separate processing processes for EEG signals in each paradigm, which greatly reduces the efficiency of EEG feature extraction and the generalizability of the model. Here, we propose a two-stream convolutional neural network (TSCNN) based hybrid brain-computer interface. It combines steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) and motor imagery (MI) paradigms. TSCNN automatically learns to extract EEG features in the two paradigms in the training process, and improves the decoding accuracy by 25.4% compared with the MI mode, and 2.6% compared with SSVEP mode in the test data. Moreover, the versatility of TSCNN is verified as it provides considerable performance in both single-mode (70.2% for MI, 93.0% for SSVEP) and hybrid-mode scenarios (95.6% for MI-SSVEP hybrid). Our work will facilitate the real-world applications of EEG-based BCI systems.

High voltage transition metal-free cathode material LiBC3F4 for Li ion batteries

The structural stability and electrochemical performance of boron substituted fluorinated graphite as a Li ion batteries cathode material are studied by first principles calculations. The results show that boron substituted fluorinated graphite BC3F4 possesses excellent structural stability, good electrical and ionic conductivities. Unexpectedly, the average Li intercalation voltage of LiBC3F4 is up to 4.44 V, which is much larger than that of LiBCF2. The average voltage of LiBC3F4 is even larger than that of common commercial transition metal oxides cathodes, indicating that LiBC3F4 is a breakthrough of transition metal-free high voltage cathode materials. By comparing the Fermi level, we found the Fermi level of LiBC3F4 is 1.38 eV lower than that of LiBCF2, leading to the decrease of the electron filling energy for the Li intercalation and forming much higher voltage. Moreover, LiBC3F4 shows small volume expansion and high energy density. LiBC3F4 is a promising high voltage cathode material for Li ion batteries. Finally, by calculating the evolution of Li intercalation voltage and Fermi level during the discharging process, a linear correlation between the Fermi level and Li intercalation voltage has been found.
