A Vulnerability Code Intent Summary Dataset

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), the code summarization technique boosts a lot, along with the emergence of many new significant works. However, the potential of code summarization in the Computer Security Area still remains explored. Can we generate a code summary of a code snippet for its security intention? Thus, this work proposes an innovative large-scale multi-perspective Code Intent Summary Dataset named BADS , aiming to increase the understanding of a given code snippet and reduce the risk in the code developing process. The procedure of establishing a dataset can be divided into four steps: First, we collect samples of codes with known vulnerabilities as well as code generated by AI from multiple sources. Second, we do the data clean and format unification, then do the data combination. Third, we utilize the LLM to automatically Annotate the code snippet. Last, We do the human evaluation to double-check. The dataset contains X code examples which cover Y categories of vulnerability. Our data are from Z open-source projects and CVE entries, and compared to existing work, our dataset not only contains original code but also code function summary and security intent summary, providing context information for research in code security analysis. All information is in CSV format. The contributions of this paper are four-fold: the establishment of a high-quality, multi-perspective Code Intent Summary Dataset; an innovative method in data collection and processing; A new multi-perspective code analysis framework that promotes cross-disciplinary research in the fields of software engineering and cybersecurity; improving the practicality and scalability of the research outcomes by considering the code length limitations in real-world applications. Our dataset and related tools have been publicly released on GitHub.

Velocity and Density Fluctuations in the Quiet Sun Corona

We investigate the properties and relationship between Doppler-velocity fluctuations and intensity fluctuations in the off-limb quiet Sun corona. These are expected to reflect the properties of Alfvenic and compressive waves, respectively. The data come from the Coronal Multichannel Polarimeter (COMP). These data were studied using spectral methods to estimate the power spectra, amplitudes, perpendicular correlation lengths, phases, trajectories, dispersion relations, and propagation speeds of both types of fluctuations. We find that most velocity fluctuations are due to Alfvenic waves, but that intensity fluctuations come from a variety of sources, likely including fast and slow mode waves, as well as aperiodic variations. The relation between the velocity and intensity fluctuations differs depending on the underlying coronal structure. On short closed loops, the velocity and intensity fluctuations have similar power spectra and speeds. In contrast, on longer nearly radial trajectories, the velocity and intensity fluctuations have different power spectra, with the velocity fluctuations propagating at much faster speeds than the intensity fluctuations. Considering the temperature sensitivity of COMP, these longer structures are more likely to be closed fields lines of the quiet Sun rather than cooler open field lines. That is, we find the character of the interactions of Alfvenic waves and density fluctuations depends on the length of the magnetic loop on which they are traveling.

Multimodal Magic Elevating Depression Detection with a Fusion of Text and Audio Intelligence

This study proposes an innovative multimodal fusion model based on a teacher-student architecture to enhance the accuracy of depression classification. Our designed model addresses the limitations of traditional methods in feature fusion and modality weight allocation by introducing multi-head attention mechanisms and weighted multimodal transfer learning. Leveraging the DAIC-WOZ dataset, the student fusion model, guided by textual and auditory teacher models, achieves significant improvements in classification accuracy. Ablation experiments demonstrate that the proposed model attains an F1 score of 99. 1% on the test set, significantly outperforming unimodal and conventional approaches. Our method effectively captures the complementarity between textual and audio features while dynamically adjusting the contributions of the teacher models to enhance generalization capabilities. The experimental results highlight the robustness and adaptability of the proposed framework in handling complex multimodal data. This research provides a novel technical framework for multimodal large model learning in depression analysis, offering new insights into addressing the limitations of existing methods in modality fusion and feature extraction.

Triadic Temporal Exponential Random Graph Models (TTERGM)

Temporal exponential random graph models (TERGM) are powerful statistical models that can be used to infer the temporal pattern of edge formation and elimination in complex networks (e.g., social networks). TERGMs can also be used in a generative capacity to predict longitudinal time series data in these evolving graphs. However, parameter estimation within this framework fails to capture many real-world properties of social networks, including: triadic relationships, small world characteristics, and social learning theories which could be used to constrain the probabilistic estimation of dyadic covariates. Here, we propose triadic temporal exponential random graph models (TTERGM) to fill this void, which includes these hierarchical network relationships within the graph model. We represent social network learning theory as an additional probability distribution that optimizes Markov chains in the graph vector space. The new parameters are then approximated via Monte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation. We show that our TTERGM model achieves improved fidelity and more accurate predictions compared to several benchmark methods on GitHub network data.

SCUNet++: Swin-UNet and CNN Bottleneck Hybrid Architecture with Multi-Fusion Dense Skip Connection for Pulmonary Embolism CT Image Segmentation

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a prevalent lung disease that can lead to right ventricular hypertrophy and failure in severe cases, ranking second in severity only to myocardial infarction and sudden death. Pulmonary artery CT angiography (CTPA) is a widely used diagnostic method for PE. However, PE detection presents challenges in clinical practice due to limitations in imaging technology. CTPA can produce noises similar to PE, making confirmation of its presence time-consuming and prone to overdiagnosis. Nevertheless, the traditional segmentation method of PE can not fully consider the hierarchical structure of features, local and global spatial features of PE CT images. In this paper, we propose an automatic PE segmentation method called SCUNet++ (Swin Conv UNet++). This method incorporates multiple fusion dense skip connections between the encoder and decoder, utilizing the Swin Transformer as the encoder. And fuses features of different scales in the decoder subnetwork to compensate for spatial information loss caused by the inevitable downsampling in Swin-UNet or other state-of-the-art methods, effectively solving the above problem. We provide a theoretical analysis of this method in detail and validate it on publicly available PE CT image datasets FUMPE and CAD-PE. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method achieved a Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 83.47% and a Hausdorff distance 95th percentile (HD95) of 3.83 on the FUMPE dataset, as well as a DSC of 83.42% and an HD95 of 5.10 on the CAD-PE dataset. These findings demonstrate that our method exhibits strong performance in PE segmentation tasks, potentially enhancing the accuracy of automatic segmentation of PE and providing a powerful diagnostic tool for clinical physicians. Our source code and new FUMPE dataset are available at https://github.com/JustlfC03/SCUNet-plusplus.

Effective Audio Classification Network Based on Paired Inverse Pyramid Structure and Dense MLP Block

Recently, massive architectures based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and self-attention mechanisms have become necessary for audio classification. While these techniques are state-of-the-art, these works' effectiveness can only be guaranteed with huge computational costs and parameters, large amounts of data augmentation, transfer from large datasets and some other tricks. By utilizing the lightweight nature of audio, we propose an efficient network structure called Paired Inverse Pyramid Structure (PIP) and a network called Paired Inverse Pyramid Structure MLP Network (PIPMN). The PIPMN reaches 96\% of Environmental Sound Classification (ESC) accuracy on the UrbanSound8K dataset and 93.2\% of Music Genre Classification (MGC) on the GTAZN dataset, with only 1 million parameters. Both of the results are achieved without data augmentation or model transfer. Public code is available at: https://github.com/JNAIC/PIPMN

Data Augmentation for Environmental Sound Classification Using Diffusion Probabilistic Model with Top-k Selection Discriminator

Despite consistent advancement in powerful deep learning techniques in recent years, large amounts of training data are still necessary for the models to avoid overfitting. Synthetic datasets using generative adversarial networks (GAN) have recently been generated to overcome this problem. Nevertheless, despite advancements, GAN-based methods are usually hard to train or fail to generate high-quality data samples. In this paper, we propose an environmental sound classification augmentation technique based on the diffusion probabilistic model with DPM-Solver$++$ for fast sampling. In addition, to ensure the quality of the generated spectrograms, we train a top-k selection discriminator on the dataset. According to the experiment results, the synthesized spectrograms have similar features to the original dataset and can significantly increase the classification accuracy of different state-of-the-art models compared with traditional data augmentation techniques. The public code is available on https://github.com/JNAIC/DPMs-for-Audio-Data-Augmentation.

Analyzing covariate clustering effects in healthcare cost subgroups: insights and applications for prediction

Healthcare cost prediction is a challenging task due to the high-dimensionality and high correlation among covariates. Additionally, the skewed, heavy-tailed, and often multi-modal nature of cost data can complicate matters further due to unobserved heterogeneity. In this study, we propose a novel framework for finite mixture regression models that incorporates covariate clustering methods to better account for the effects of clustered covariates on subgroups of the outcome, which enables a more accurate characterization of the complex distribution of the data. The proposed framework can be formulated as a convex optimization problem with an additional penalty term based on the prior similarity of the covariates. To efficiently solve this optimization problem, a specialized EM-ADMM algorithm is proposed that integrates the alternating direction multiplicative method (ADMM) into the iterative process of the expectation-maximizing (EM) algorithm. The convergence of the algorithm and the efficiency of the covariate clustering method are verified using simulation data, and the superiority of the approach over traditional regression techniques is demonstrated using two real Chinese medical expenditure datasets. Our empirical results provide valuable insights into the complex network graph of the covariates and can inform business practices, such as the design and pricing of medical insurance products.

A half-wave voltage regulation method of electro-optic crystal based on center-symmetric electrodes and arbitrary direction electric field

To solve the problems of instability and thermal stress birefringence of voltage divided medium in optical voltage sensor (OVS), a half-wave voltage regulation method based on a central symmetry electrode and an arbitrary directional electric field is proposed in this paper. The method uses a center-symmetric copper foil electrode or the ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) transparent electrode to apply voltage, which can arbitrarily adjust the direction of the average electric field in the crystal, so as to improve the half-wave voltage of the bismuth germanate (Bi4Ge3O12, or BGO) crystal directly without additional SF6 gas or quartz glass. The internal electric field of the BGO crystal is simulated by the finite element method, and the half-wave voltage is calculated by the coupling wave theory of electro-optic effect. The results show that the maximum regulated half-wave voltage, considering the 1° angle, can reach 2.67e3 kV. And this is consistent to the experimental results 1.72e3 kV with difference of 35.6%. For the measurement of 110kV line voltage, that is, 63.5kV phase voltage, to ensure a 0.2 accuracy class, the angle error of incident light, and the polarization direction and the electric field direction is required to be less than 3.9', which can be achieved by the existing technologies.

Dislocation induced energy dissipation in a tunable trilayer graphene resonator

In crystalline materials, the creation and modulation of dislocations are often associated with plastic deformation and energy dissipation. Here we report a study on the energy dissipation of a trilayer graphene ribbon resonator. The vibration of the ribbon generates cyclic mechanical loading to the graphene ribbon, during which mechanical energy is dissipated as heat. Measuring the quality factor of the graphene resonator provides a way to evaluate the energy dissipation. The graphene ribbon is integrated with silicon micro actuators, allowing its in-plane tension to be finely tuned. As we gradually increased the tension, we observed, in addition to the well-known resonance frequency increase, a large change in the energy dissipation. We propose that the dominating energy dissipation mechanism shifts over three regions. With small applied tension, the graphene is in elastic region, and the major energy dissipation is through graphene edge folding; as the tension increases, dislocations start to develop in the sample to gradually dominate the energy dissipation; finally, at large enough tension, graphene layers become decoupled and start to slide and cause friction, which induces the more severe energy dissipation. The generation and modulation of dislocations are modeled by molecular dynamics calculation and a method to count the energy loss is proposed and compared to the experiment.

Tracking Fast Neural Adaptation by Globally Adaptive Point Process Estimation for Brain-Machine Interface

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) help the disabled restore body functions by translating neural activity into digital commands to control external devices. Neural adaptation, where the brain signals change in response to external stimuli or movements, plays an important role in BMIs. When subjects purely use neural activity to brain-control a prosthesis, some neurons will actively explore a new tuning property to accomplish the movement task. The prediction of this neural tuning property can help subjects adapt more efficiently to brain control and maintain good decoding performance. Existing prediction methods track the slow change of the tuning property in the manual control, which is not suitable for the fast neural adaptation in brain control. In order to identify the active neurons in brain control and track their tuning property changes, we propose a globally adaptive point process method (GaPP) to estimate the neural modulation state from spike trains, decompose the states into the hyper preferred direction and reconstruct the kinematics in a dual-model framework. We implement the method on real data from rats performing a two-lever discrimination task under manual control and brain control. The results show our method successfully predicts the neural modulation state and identifies the neurons that become active in brain control. Compared to existing methods, ours tracks the fast changes of the hyper preferred direction from manual control to brain control more accurately and efficiently and reconstructs the kinematics better and faster.

Signature of multilayer graphene strain-controlled domain walls in quantum Hall effect

Domain walls, topological defects that define the frontier between regions of different stacking in multilayer graphene, have proved to host exciting physics. The ability of tuning these topological defects in-situ in an electronic transport experiment brings a wealth of possibilities in terms of fundamental understanding of domain walls as well as for electronic applications. Here, we demonstrate through a MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) actuator and magnetoresistance measurements the effect of domain walls in multilayer graphene quantum Hall effect. Reversible and controlled uniaxial strain triggers these topological defects, manifested as new quantum Hall effect plateaus as well as a discrete and reversible modulation of the current across the device. Our findings are supported by theoretical calculations and constitute the first indication of the in-situ tuning of topological defects in multilayer graphene probed through electronic transport, opening the way to the use of reversible topological defects in electronic applications.

A Note on "Quantum Algorithm for Linear Systems of Equations"

Recently, an efficient quantum algorithm for linear systems of equations introduced by Harrow, Hassidim, and Lloyd, has received great concern from the academic community. However, the error and complexity analysis for this algorithm seems so complicated that it may not be applicable to other filter functions for other tasks. In this note, a concise proof is proposed. We hope that it may inspire some novel HHL-based algorithms that can compute $F(A)|b\rangle$ for any computable $F$.
