Detecting phase transitions in collective behavior using manifold's curvature by Kelum Gajamannage, Erik M. Bollt

“…If a given behavior of a multi-agent system restricts the phase variable to an invariant manifold, then we define a phase transition as a change of physical characteristics such as speed, coordination, and structure. We define such a phase transition as splitting an underlying manifold into two sub-manifolds with distinct dimensionalities around the singularity where the phase transition physically exists. …”

An intrusion detection method based on depthwise separable convolution and attention mechanism by Zhifei ZHANG, Feng LIU, Yiyang GE, Shuo LI, Yu ZHANG, Ke XIONG

“…In order to improve the accuracy of multi-classification in network intrusion detection, an intrusion detection method was proposed based on depthwise separable convolution and attention mechanism.By constructing a cascade structure combining depthwise separable convolution and long-term and short-term memory networks, the spatial and temporal features of network traffic data can be better extracted.A mixed-domain attention mechanism was introduced to enhance the detection performance.To solve the problem of low detection rate in some samples, a data balance strategy based on the combination of the variational auto-encoder (VAE) the generative adversarial network (GAN) and was designed, which can effectively cope with imbalanced datasets and improve the adaptability of the proposed detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to achieve 99.80%, 99.32%, and 83.87% accuracy on the CICIDS-2017, NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets, which is improved by 0.6%, 0.5%, and 2.3%, respectively.…”

Block-chain abnormal transaction detection method based on adaptive multi-feature fusion by Huijuan ZHU, Jinfu CHEN, Zhiyuan LI, Shangnan YIN

“…Aiming at the problem that the performance of intelligent detection models was limited by the representation ability of original data (features), a residual network structure ResNet-32 was designed to automatically mine the intricate association relationship between original features, so as to actively learn the high-level abstract features with rich semantic information.Low-level features were more transaction content descriptive, although their distinguishing ability was weaker than that of the high-level features.How to integrate them together to obtain complementary advantages was the key to improve the detection performance.Therefore, multi feature fusion methods were proposed to bridge the gap between the two kinds of features.Moreover, these fusion methods can automatically remove the noise and redundant information from the integrated features and further absorb the cross information, to acquire the most distinctive features.Finally, block-chain abnormal transaction detection model (BATDet) was proposed based on the above presented methods, and its effectiveness in the abnormal transaction detection is verified.…”

Design and implementation of a novel general format multimedia digital rights management system by Qin-long HUANG, Zhao-feng MA, Jia MO, Xin-xin NIU, Yi-xian YANG

“…Aiming at the copyright protection of multimedia content,a novel general format multimedia digital rights management model was designed which includes encryption and packaging of content,ke nagement,security engine,license management and distribution,DRM client,DRM management and other functional units.This model uses un-structured encryption method which overcomes the limit ions of encryption method based on the content format to sup-port the general format multimedia.In addition,this model uses the license acquisition number as the only certificate to download license to solve the problem of license reissue and transfer,and supports fine-grained control model.Combined with this model,a multimedia digital rights management system was developed based on fixed and mobile converged services which is used in the field of digital consumer.experimental results and practical application show that this scheme with good practice in the copyright protection multimedia content does not affect the multimedia quality,and have high efficiency and safety.…”
