摘要The increasing complexity of future networks demands intelligent,scalable,and adaptive management solutions.Digital twin network(DTN)provides a high-fidelity replica of the physical network for monitoring and optimization,but faces significant limitations,including complex modeling,high synchronization overhead,and limited scalability.Foundation models(large pre-trained AI models)offer powerful semantic understanding and reasoning abilities,yet suffer from high training costs,risks of generating hallucinations,and limited interpretability.To address these challenges,this paper proposes an integrated architecture that combines DTN with foundation models,leveraging their complementary strengths.DTN ensures fidelity and domain-specific modeling,and acts as a validation platform to help facilitate the training and verification of network foundation models.Foundation models enable data-driven automation,downstream model generation,and adaptive decision-making.Furthermore,we present use cases related to twin network configuration verification and protocol generation,demonstrating enhanced scalability,efficiency,and intelligence for intelligent networks by bridging foundation models and digital twin.
摘要Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attacks are one of the severe threats to network infrastructure,sometimes bypassing traditional diagnosis algorithms because of their evolving complexity.PresentMachine Learning(ML)techniques for DDoS attack diagnosis normally apply network traffic statistical features such as packet sizes and inter-arrival times.However,such techniques sometimes fail to capture complicated relations among various traffic flows.In this paper,we present a new multi-scale ensemble strategy given the Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)for improving DDoS detection.Our technique divides traffic into macro-and micro-level elements,letting various GNN models to get the two corase-scale anomalies and subtle,stealthy attack models.Through modeling network traffic as graph-structured data,GNNs efficiently learn intricate relations among network entities.The proposed ensemble learning algorithm combines the results of several GNNs to improve generalization,robustness,and scalability.Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets—UNSW-NB15,CICIDS2017,and CICDDoS2019—show that our approach outperforms traditional machine learning and deep learning models in detecting both high-rate and low-rate(stealthy)DDoS attacks,with significant improvements in accuracy and recall.These findings demonstrate the suggested method’s applicability and robustness for real-world implementation in contexts where several DDoS patterns coexist.

摘要In the field of object detection,it is challenging to achieve a balance between neck complexity and accuracy.To address this issue,we propose an efficient and decoupled neck module called shared feature pyramid network(Shared-FPN).Not only does Shared-FPN not increase the number of model parameters and floating point operations per second(FLOPs),but it also can be easily ported to any of the detection models.It improves on path aggregation feature pyramid network(PAFPN)by using transposed convolution with a large convolution kernel as the upsampling module,designing spatial pyramidal pooling-fast downsampling(SPPFD)based on shared pooling,and designing shared convolution as the right part module.To evaluate the performance of Shared-FPN in object detection tasks,we conducted experiments on object detection datasets.The results show that Shared-FPN achieved excellent performance across all sizes.In particular,on the VOC 2012 dataset,the Shared-FPN’s mean average precision(mAP)was improved by 11.2%compared to FPN with you only look once extended-s(YOLOX-s)as the detector.On the COCO dataset,the Shared-FPN’s mAP was improved by 7.8%compared to FPN and 7.1%compared to PAFPN with faster region-based convolutional neural network(Faster RCNN)as the detector.The Shared-FPN can be easily inserted into any of the detectors for better performance in various scenarios,such as small,medium or large objects.

摘要Neural-network-based computer-generated holography(CGH)has been extensively confirmed to break the tradeoff between algorithm runtime and reconstruction quality.However,conventional U-Net-based CGH methods lose high-frequency detail due to inadequate global context modeling,which constrains the enhancement of realism and immersion in holographic displays.To address these challenges,we propose WGCNet:a two-stage wavelet global context network for generating speckle-free,high-fidelity 4K phase-only holograms(POHs).This framework integrates a two-dimensional(2D)wavelet down-sampling technique to enhance the U-Net backbone network and leverages physical prior knowledge to preserve high-frequency details.A lightweight global attention module is introduced to model long-range dependencies.We demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a peak signalto-noise ratio of 38.68 dB and a structural similarity index of 0.9615 on the DIV2K dataset at 4K resolution.The method significantly reduces the speckle noise in reconstruction while effectively preserving fine details.This synergistic approach establishes an effective solution for high-resolution holographic displays,offering potential for enhancing visual realism and immersion in virtual reality(VR)and augmented reality(AR)applications.

摘要The rapid growth of networked systems and the increasing diversity of cyberattack behaviors have posed significant challenges to intrusion detection,particularly in scenarios characterized by high-dimensional features and severe class imbalance.Conventional detection approaches based on handcrafted rules or shallow representations often exhibit limited robustness under such conditions.To address these issues,this paper presents a hybrid deep learning framework for network intrusion detection that integrates complementary feature learning mechanisms within a dual-branch architecture.Specifically,a Transformer branch is employed to model long-range temporal dependencies in network traffic,while a convolutional neural network branch(CNN)is used to capture localized and fine-grained feature patterns.An attention-based fusion strategy is further introduced to adaptively aggregate branch-specific representations and enhance intrusion-sensitive features.In addition,an autoencoder-based feature reconstruction module is incorporated before the dual-branch network to compress and reconstruct input features through an encoder-decoder structure,thereby preserving essential behavioral characteristics of network traffic and improving feature discriminability.To mitigate the impact of class imbalance,a Dynamic Weighted Logit-adjusted Focal Loss(DWLF)is introduced to reduce the bias toward majority classes during model optimization.Extensive experiments conducted on two public benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.The proposed model achieves an overall accuracy of 90.01%on the UNSW-NB15 dataset and 97.82%on the NF-CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset.Experimental results indicate improved robustness under highly imbalanced data distributions,demonstrating stable performance across datasets with different traffic characteristics.

摘要As network scales continue to expand,congestion has emerged as a critical issue in the study of complex networks,particularly in spatial networks such as transportation,aviation,and communication systems,where transmission is the primary function.To address this challenge,various routing strategies have been proposed to alleviate congestion by adjusting transmission paths.However,most of these strategies are based on network models that assume a uniform spatial distribution of nodes,which fails to accurately represent the non-uniform distributions observed in real-world networks.In this paper,we construct a more realistic non-uniform spatial network model and propose a novel routing strategy,termed the FH routing strategy,which integrates distance-based degree and harmonic centrality.Simulation results show that the FH strategy effectively avoids high-load nodes,promotes a more balanced load distribution,and significantly improves traffic throughput compared to traditional routing strategies.These findings provide theoretical support and practical guidance for optimizing information transmission in real-world non-uniform spatial networks.

摘要Urbanization is a significant driver of the loss of biodiversity and the disruption of ecosystems.Amphibians are especially vulnerable to the negative impact of urbanization as their life cycles and habitat requirements are complex.The present study investigated the effects of urbanization on amphibian predation networks in suburban Kunming in Yunnan,China and aimed to understand how predation network structure and stability vary with urbanization level.We constructed predation networks by analyzing the stomach contents of amphibians from 12d istinct urbanization gradients.We used the bipartite package in R to evaluate network robustness metrics such as modularity,nestedness,connectivity,and average shortest path length(ASPL).We found that urbanization level is negatively correlated with predation network connectivity(R=−0.67,Ρ=0.02),but there were no significant correlations between urbanization level and nestedness,modularity,or ASPL.Removal of the keystone species destabilized the predation networks at certain locations.The present work highlighted that maintaining prey quantity and diversity preserves predation network connectivity and stabilizes the overall network in urbanizing landscapes.It also underscored the critical role that keystone species play in sustaining network robustness.The results of this research provided insights into the ecological consequences of urbanization.They also suggested that conservation measures should protect the key species and habitats of amphibian predation networks and mitigate the negative impact of urban development on them.

摘要Covalent adaptable networks(CANs)have emerged as versatile platforms for sustainable polymer materials,where precise control over the dissociation/exchange kinetics of dynamic covalent bonds is essential for tuning their viscoelastic behaviors.Herein,we introduce a topology-preserving strategy to accelerate network relaxation by embedding slidable mechanically interlocked cross-links into vinylogous urethane-based CANs,yielding mechanically interlocked vitrimers(MIVs).The mechanically bonded junctions are constructed by incorporating kinetically stable acetoacetate-functionalized[2]pseudorotaxane cross-linkers through catalyst-free polymerization with diamines.Although exhibiting higher glass-transition temperatures than a control network with identical cross-linking density but fixed cross-links,the representative MIV-2 maintains comparable ductility while displaying greater toughness,indicating that the slidable cross-links effectively enhance chain sliding.At elevated temperatures,this chain sliding prominently accelerates stress relaxation in MIV-2,showing a substantial reduction in the apparent activation energy for vinylogous urethane exchange compared with the control(10.3 versus 21.2 kJ/mol).Unlike the control with fixed crosslinks,the chain motion enabled by mechanical bonds enhances the diffusion of dynamic covalent moieties,thereby effectively promoting bond exchange throughout the network.Owing to the associative nature of vinylogous urethane exchange,the mechanically bonded cross-links remain topologically constrained on the polymer chains during relaxation.Consequently,the accelerated stress relaxation originates from mechanical-bond-mediated chain sliding rather than defect generation,clearly distinguishing MIVs from defect-mediated dual-dynamic CANs designs commonly employed to promote relaxation.These results disclose how the mechanically interlocked structures regulate chemical reactions in cross-linked polymer networks,establishing a novel strategy of topology-engineering guided structural design for smart multidynamic polymers.

摘要Objective To address the challenges of systematically identifying herb pairs in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),we proposed HerbGL,a framework for predicting potential herb pairs that integrates network propagation and graph regularization.Methods Based on the assumption that herbal actions induce subtle perturbations in biological systems,a framework named HerbGL was proposed.Random walk with restart(RWR)was first applied to the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network to reconstruct herb-specific perturbation effects and generate weighted subnetworks.Then,to quantify affinity between herb pairs,two network-proximity metrics,Closeness and PageRank,were computed from the weighted subnetworks to construct herb-pair affinity matrices.Finally,these matrices,together with known herb pairs(derived from co-occurrence analysis of TCM formulas with a threshold determined from the inflection point of the frequency distribution),were incorporated into a graph regularization model to predict potential herb pairs.Model performance was assessed through baseline comparison,ablation and robustness experiment under different ratios of positive and negative samples,using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC),the area under the precision-recall curve(AUPRC),accuracy,and precision as evaluation metrics.Furthermore,the predicted herb pairs were validated through both literature evidence and Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses.Results The weighted subnetworks constructed by RWR provided a refined simulation of herb-specific perturbation effects,which formed the basis for subsequent affinity modeling and prediction.Analysis of herb pair co-occurrence frequencies revealed a marked change around 150,which was selected as the threshold to distinguish herb pairs from non-herb pairs.HerbGL exhibited superior predictive performance compared with baseline models(AUROC=0.9705,AUPRC=0.9555,accuracy=0.7266,precision=0.9706).Ablation results showed that removing the Closeness and PageRank metrics substantially degraded performance(AUROC=0.8191,AUPRC=0.8768),confirming their necessity.Robustness evaluation under an imbalanced positive-to-negative sample ratio of 1:5 yielded AUROC=0.9696 and AUPRC=0.8404,indicating stable predictive ability.Moreover,multiple case studies further validated the rationality of the predicted herb pairs,such as Fangfeng(Saposhnikoviae Radix)and Qingpi(Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride)which are recorded in Liangpeng Huiji(《良朋汇集》,Collection of Excellent Recipes)Vol.3:Fangfeng Shengma Tang(防风升麻汤).Additionally,pathway enrichment analysis of the Renshen(Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma)and Lianqiao(Forsythiae Fructus)pair further supported the biological plausibility of their compatibility.Conclusion HerbGL offers an effective and biologically informed framework for identifying herb pairs in TCM.Beyond improving herb pair prediction,the framework also provides data support for research on herb compounds and mechanisms,thereby supporting data-driven exploration of TCM compatibility.

摘要BACKGROUND Small intestinal bleeding(SIB)remains a significant challenge in the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.While capsule endoscopy(CE)is the gold standard for visualization,manual interpretation of the extensive video footage is labor-intensive and subject to inter-observer variability.Although convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have improved lesion detection,standard models often fail to account for temporal continuity,limiting their ability to accurately predict the specific location of bleeding points within the small bowel.AIM To develop and validate a deep learning framework integrating CNNs with long short-term memory(LSTM)networks to enhance the automated detection and precise localization of SIB.METHODS This study employed two datasets for automated bleeding detection:One from Cheng Kung University,consisting of white light imaging images from 100 patients obtained via PillCamTMSB 3 CE,and the Kvasir-Capsule Image dataset,which includes 47238 labeled images across 14 pathological categories.Nineteen continuous picture sequences were recovered,comprising 3806 bleeding photos and 3275 non-bleeding images.RESULTS Data augmentation was implemented,utilizing CNNs for feature extraction,succeeded by long short-term memory networks for prediction.The CNN model attained an accuracy of 98.6%for 10 categories and 96.7%for 2 categories.Findings demonstrate that CNN-LSTM models exhibit superior performance with expanded category sets.CONCLUSION These findings underscore the capability of deep learning models to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of CEbased gastrointestinal bleeding diagnosis,hence facilitating improved clinical decision-making.
