First, FERM was introduced to identify various causal factors and their performance changes in hazardous chemical operational accidents, along with determining the functional failure link relationships. Subsequently, FERM was employed to elucidate both qualitative and quantitative operational accident information within a unified framework, which could be regarded as the input of information fusion to obtain the fuzzy belief distribution of each cause factor. Finally, the derived risk values of the causal factors were ranked while constructing multi-level accident causation chains to unveil the weak links in system functionality and the primary roots of operational accidents. Using the specific case of the “1·15” major explosion and fire accident at Liaoning Panjin Haoye Chemical Co., Ltd., seven causal factors and their corresponding performance changes were identified. Additionally, five accident causation chains were uncovered based on the fuzzy joint distribution of the functional assessment level(FAL) and reliability distribution(RD),revealing an overall increase in risk along the accident evolution path. The research findings demonstrated that FERM enabled the effective characterization, rational quantification and accurate analysis of the inherent uncertainties in hazardous chemical operational accident risks from a systemic perspective.展开更多

摘要Spatial reasoning,defined as the ability to infer and compose relations among entities—is fundamental to geoinformatics applications such as spatial querying and map understanding.However,existing works such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)-based spatial Question Answering(QA)models and neuro-symbolic models rely on dataset-specific patterns,leading to shortcut learning,where reliance on superficial lexical cues rather than true relational understanding.Recent Large Language Models(LLMs)-based works,including fine-tuning and Chain-of-Thought(CoT)prompting,partially alleviate shortcut learning but remain limited by non-causal reasoning,where predictions depend on spurious correlations rather than stable relational structure.To address these limitations,we propose Causal Inference and Reasoning via Compact sUbnetwork IdenTification(CIRCUIT-X),motivated by the hypothesis that spatial reasoning in LLMs is governed by compact causal parameter subsets(a.k.a causal circuits).CIRCUIT-X operates in two stages:(i)Causal Importance Estimation(Stage Ⅰ)via structured interventions to mitigate shortcut learning,and(ii)Minimal Circuit Discovery(Stage Ⅱ)via structured pruning to mitigate non-causal reasoning.Empirically,CIRCUIT-X achieves up to 91%accuracy on SPAtial Reasoning on Textual Question Answering(SPARTQA)and 87%on StepGame,outperforming State-of-the-Art(SOTA)methods while improving intervention robustness by up to+11%and causal consistency by up to+16%.Therefore,it retains up to 96%of full-model performance using only 3%–6%of active parameters,while demonstrating strong robustness under cross-domain transfer with improvements of up to+10%in accuracy and substantially higher intervention stability under distribution shifts.

摘要Knowledge graphs often suffer from sparsity and incompleteness.Knowledge graph reasoning is an effective way to address these issues.Unlike static knowledge graph reasoning,which is invariant over time,dynamic knowledge graph reasoning is more challenging due to its temporal nature.In essence,within each time step in a dynamic knowledge graph,there exists structural dependencies among entities and relations,whereas between adjacent time steps,there exists temporal continuity.Based on these structural and temporal characteristics,we propose a model named“DKGR-DR”to learn distributed representations of entities and relations by combining recurrent neural networks and graph neural networks to capture structural dependencies and temporal continuity in DKGs.In addition,we construct a static attribute graph to represent entities’inherent properties.DKGR-DR is capable of modeling both dynamic and static aspects of entities,enabling effective entity prediction and relation prediction.We conduct experiments on ICEWS05-15,ICEWS18,and ICEWS14 to demonstrate that DKGR-DR achieves competitive performance.

摘要Most Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)interpretation techniques visualize only the dominant cues that the model relies on,but there is no guarantee that these represent all the evidence the model uses for classification.This limitation becomes critical when hidden secondary cues—potentially more meaningful than the visualized ones—remain undiscovered.This study introduces CasCAM(Cascaded Class Activation Mapping)to address this fundamental limitation through counterfactual reasoning.By asking“if this dominant cue were absent,what other evidence would the model use?”,CasCAM progressively masks the most salient features and systematically uncovers the hierarchy of classification evidence hidden beneath them.Experimental results demonstrate that CasCAM effectively discovers the full spectrum of reasoning evidence and can be universally applied with nine existing interpretation methods.
摘要Major depressive disorder(MDD)represents one of the most urgent global mental health challenges,affecting hundreds of millions of individuals across cultures and socioeconomic contexts.While the affective and motivational dimensions of depression have long been emphasized,the cognitive dimension of the disorder has increasingly attracted attention.Within this cognitive framework,the study by Li et al represents an important milestone.It is the first investigation to combine the Wason selection task(WST),a classical paradigm for examining conditional reasoning,with event-related potentials(ERP),a method uniquely suited for revealing the temporal dynamics of cognitive processing.By integrating behavioral performance with electrophysiological measures,the authors provide valuable new insights into the neural mechanisms underlying reasoning dysfunction in MDD.However,while this study makes an important contribution,caution is warranted in interpreting its clinical and diagnostic implications.The methodological limitations,such as small sample size,limited ecological validity of the WST,and absence of control for confounding variables,should be carefully considered when evaluating the generalizability of ERP findings.Beyond summarizing the findings of Li et al,this letter emphasizes both the strengths and weaknesses of their approach.While the integration of cognitive reasoning and neurophysiological evidence is commendable,the lack of replication and comparative data leaves important open questions about how these results align with prior ERP or functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of depressive cognition.A more critical synthesis of these contextual gaps enhances the interpretative depth of the article.Overall,the study offers valuable preliminary evidence of conditional reasoning dysfunction in MDD,but its conclusions should be viewed as exploratory rather than definitive.Future research must address methodological limitations before clinical translation is possible.

摘要This paper proposed a new systematic approach-functional evidential reasoning model(FERM) for exploring hazardous chemical operational accidents under uncertainty. First, FERM was introduced to identify various causal factors and their performance changes in hazardous chemical operational accidents, along with determining the functional failure link relationships. Subsequently, FERM was employed to elucidate both qualitative and quantitative operational accident information within a unified framework, which could be regarded as the input of information fusion to obtain the fuzzy belief distribution of each cause factor. Finally, the derived risk values of the causal factors were ranked while constructing multi-level accident causation chains to unveil the weak links in system functionality and the primary roots of operational accidents. Using the specific case of the “1·15” major explosion and fire accident at Liaoning Panjin Haoye Chemical Co., Ltd., seven causal factors and their corresponding performance changes were identified. Additionally, five accident causation chains were uncovered based on the fuzzy joint distribution of the functional assessment level(FAL) and reliability distribution(RD),revealing an overall increase in risk along the accident evolution path. The research findings demonstrated that FERM enabled the effective characterization, rational quantification and accurate analysis of the inherent uncertainties in hazardous chemical operational accident risks from a systemic perspective.

摘要The(3+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli(BLMP)equation serves as a crucial nonlinear evolution equation in mathematical physics,capable of characterizing complex nonlinear dynamic phenomena in three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time.With broad applications spanning fluid dynamics,shallow water waves,plasma physics,and condensed matter physics,the investigation of its solutions holds significant importance.Traditional analytical methods face limitations due to their dependence on bilinear forms.To overcome this constraint,this letter proposes a novel multi-modal neurosymbolic reasoning intelligent algorithm(MMNRIA)that achieves 100%accurate solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations without requiring bilinear transformations.By synergistically integrating neural networks with symbolic computation,this approach establishes a new paradigm for universal analytical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.As a practical demonstration,we successfully derive several exact analytical solutions for the(3+1)-dimensional BLMP equation using MMNRIA.These solutions provide a powerful theoretical framework for studying intricate wave phenomena governed by nonlinearity and dispersion effects in three-dimensional physical space.

摘要Extrapolation on Temporal Knowledge Graphs(TKGs)aims to predict future knowledge from a set of historical Knowledge Graphs in chronological order.The temporally adjacent facts in TKGs naturally form event sequences,called event evolution patterns,implying informative temporal dependencies between events.Recently,many extrapolation works on TKGs have been devoted to modelling these evolutional patterns,but the task is still far from resolved because most existing works simply rely on encoding these patterns into entity representations while overlooking the significant information implied by relations of evolutional patterns.However,the authors realise that the temporal dependencies inherent in the relations of these event evolution patterns may guide the follow-up event prediction to some extent.To this end,a Temporal Relational Context-based Temporal Dependencies Learning Network(TRenD)is proposed to explore the temporal context of relations for more comprehensive learning of event evolution patterns,especially those temporal dependencies caused by interactive patterns of relations.Trend incorporates a semantic context unit to capture semantic correlations between relations,and a structural context unit to learn the interaction pattern of relations.By learning the temporal contexts of relations semantically and structurally,the authors gain insights into the underlying event evolution patterns,enabling to extract comprehensive historical information for future prediction better.Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of the model.

摘要The evidential reasoning(ER)rule framework has been widely applied in multi-attribute decision analysis and system assessment to manage uncertainty.However,traditional ER implementations rely on two critical limitations:1)unrealistic assumptions of complete evidence independence,and 2)a lack of mechanisms to differentiate causal relationships from spurious correlations.Existing similarity-based approaches often misinterpret interdependent evidence,leading to unreliable decision outcomes.To address these gaps,this study proposes a causality-enhanced ER rule(CER-e)framework with three key methodological innovations:1)a multidimensional causal representation of evidence to capture dependency structures;2)probabilistic quantification of causal strength using transfer entropy,a model-free information-theoretic measure;3)systematic integration of causal parameters into the ER inference process while maintaining evidential objectivity.The PC algorithm is employed during causal discovery to eliminate spurious correlations,ensuring robust causal inference.Case studies in two types of domains—telecommunications network security assessment and structural risk evaluation—validate CER-e’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.Under simulated incomplete information conditions,the framework demonstrates superior algorithmic robustness compared to traditional ER.Comparative analyses show that CER-e significantly improves both the interpretability of causal relationships and the reliability of assessment results,establishing a novel paradigm for integrating causal inference with evidential reasoning in complex system evaluation.

摘要BACKGROUND Patients with major depression(MD)exhibit conditional reasoning dysfunction;however,no studies on the event-related potential(ERP)characteristics of conditional reasoning in MD have been reported.AIM To investigate the ERP characteristics of conditional reasoning in MD patients and explore the neural mechanism of cognitive processing.METHODS Thirty-four patients with MD and 34 healthy controls(HCs)completed ERP measurements while performing the Wason selection task(WST).The clusterbased permutation test in FieldTrip was used to compare the differences in the mean amplitudes between the patients with MD and HCs on the ERP components under different experimental conditions.Behavioral data[accuracy(ACC)and reaction times(RTs)],the ERP P100 and late positive potentials(LPPs)were analyzed.RESULTS Although the mean ACC was greater and the mean of RTs was shorter in HCs than in MD patients,the differences were not statistically significant.However,across both groups,the ACC in the precautionary WST was greater than that in the other tasks,and the RTs in the abstract task were greater than those in the other tasks.Importantly,compared with that of HCs,the P100 of the left centroparietal sites was significantly increased,and the early LPP was attenuated at parietal sites and increased at left frontocentral sites;the medium LPP and late LPP were increased at the left frontocentral sites.CONCLUSION Patients with MD have conditional reasoning dysfunction and exhibit abnormal ERP characteristics evoked by the WST,which suggests neural correlates of abnormalities in conditional reasoning function in MD patients.

摘要Aiming at the characteristics of autonomy,confrontation,and uncertainty in unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm operations,case-based reasoning(CBR)technology with advantages such as weak dependence on domain knowledge and efficient problem-solving is introduced,and a recommendation method for UAV swarm operation strategies based on CBR is proposed.Firstly,we design a universal framework for UAV swarm operation strategies from three dimensions:operation effectiveness,time,and cost.Secondly,based on the representation of operation cases,certain,fuzzy,interval,and classification attribute similarity calculation methods,as well as entropybased attribute weight allocation methods,are suggested to support the calculation of global similarity of cases.This method is utilized to match the source case with the most similarity from the historical case library,to obtain the optimal recommendation strategy for the target case.Finally,in the form of red blue confrontation,a UAV swarm operation strategy recommendation case is constructed based on actual battle cases,and a system simulation analysis is conducted.The results show that the strategy given in the example performs the best in three evaluation indicators,including cost-effectiveness,and overall outperforms other operation strategies.Therefore,the proposed method has advantages such as high real-time performance and interpretability,and can address the issue of recommending UAV swarm operation strategies in complex battlefield environments across both online and offline modes.At the same time,this study could also provide new ideas for the selection of UAV swarm operation strategies.
摘要The cross-modal person re-identification task aims to match visible and infrared images of the same individual.The main challenges in this field arise from significant modality differences between individuals and the lack of high-quality cross-modal correspondence methods.Existing approaches often attempt to establish modality correspondence by extracting shared features across different modalities.However,these methods tend to focus on local information extraction and fail to fully leverage the global identity information in the cross-modal features,resulting in limited correspondence accuracy and suboptimal matching performance.To address this issue,we propose a quadratic graph matching method designed to overcome the challenges posed by modality differences through precise cross-modal relationship alignment.This method transforms the cross-modal correspondence problem into a graph matching task and minimizes the matching cost using a center search mechanism.Building on this approach,we further design a block reasoning module to uncover latent relationships between person identities and optimize the modality correspondence results.The block strategy not only improves the efficiency of updating gallery images but also enhances matching accuracy while reducing computational load.Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the SYSU-MM01,RegDB,and RGBNT201 datasets,achieving excellent matching accuracy and robustness,thereby validating its effectiveness in cross-modal person re-identification.

摘要This study investigated the relationship between parental cognitive ability and child logical reasoning ability,and the role of academic expectation and family environment in that relationship.Based on the 2020 China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)data,1491 children(girls ratio=53.78%;average grade=6.023 years,school grade standard deviation=1.825 years).Results following multiple regression model(OLS)show that the higher the parental cognitive ability,the higher the children’s logical reasoning ability.Secondly,parental academic expectation serves as a mediator between their cognitive ability and children’s logical reasoning ability for higher logical reasoning by children.Third,a possible family environment acts as a mediator in the relationship between parents’cognitive ability and children’s logical reasoning ability to be higher.We conclude from thesefindings that parents with high cognitive abilities can enhance their children’s logical reasoning skills not only by setting higher academic expectations,but also by cultivating a supportive family environment.Thesefindings imply a need for intervention to improve family quality of life to enhance children’s thinking abilities to optimize their academic learning.

摘要Large language models(LLMs)have demonstrated remarkable generalization abilities across multiple tasks in natural language processing(NLP).For multi-step reasoning tasks,chain-of-thought(CoT)prompting facilitates step-by-step thinking,leading to improved performance.However,despite significant advancements in LLMs,current CoT prompting performs suboptimally on smaller-scale models that have fewer parameters.Additionally,the common paradigm of few-shot CoT prompting relies on a set of manual demonstrations,with performance contingent on the quality of these annotations and varying with task-specific requirements.To address these limitations,we propose a select-and-answer prompting method(SAP)to enhance language model performance on reasoning tasks without the need for manual demonstrations.This method comprises two primary steps:guiding the model to conduct preliminary analysis and generate several candidate answers based on the prompting;allowing the model to provide final answers derived from these candidate answers.The proposed prompting strategy is evaluated across two language models of varying sizes and six datasets.On ChatGLM-6B,SAP consistently outperforms few-shot CoT across all datasets.For GPT-3.5,SAP achieves comparable performance to few-shot CoT and outperforms zero-shot CoT in most cases.These experimental results indicate that SAP can significantly improve the accuracy of language models in reasoning tasks.
