A Cross-Spatial Differential Localization Network for Remote Sensing Change Captioning by Ruijie Wu, Hao Ye, Xiangying Liu, Zhenzhen Li, Chenhao Sun, Jiajia Wu

“…Remote Sensing Image Change Captioning (RSICC) aims to generate natural language descriptions of changes in bi-temporal remote sensing images, providing more semantically interpretable results than conventional pixel-level change detection methods. However, existing approaches often rely on stacked Transformer modules, leading to suboptimal feature discrimination. …”

Numerous Multi-Wave Solutions of the Time-Fractional Boussinesq-like System via a Variant of the Extended Simple Equations Method (SEsM) by Elena V. Nikolova, Mila Chilikova-Lubomirova

“…The key developments over the original SEsM in the proposed analytical framework include the following: (1) an extension of the original SEsM by constructing the solutions of the studied FNPDEs as complex composite functions which combine two single composite functions, comprising the power series of the solutions of two simple equations or two special functions with different independent variables (different wave coordinates); (2) an extension of the scope of fractional wave transformations used to reduce the studied FNPDEs to different types of ODEs, depending on the physical nature of the studied FNPDEs and the type of selected simple equations. …”
