Pdr-Stgcn: An Enhanced Stgcn With Multi-Scale Periodic Fusion And A Dynamic Relational Graph For Traffic Forecasting, Jie Hu, Bingbing Tang, Langsha Zhu, Yiting Li, Jianjun Hu, Guanci Yang

Faculty Publications

Accurate traffic flow prediction is a core component of intelligent transportation systems, supporting proactive traffic management, resource optimization, and sustainable urban mobility. However, urban traffic networks exhibit heterogeneous multi-scale periodic patterns and time-varying spatial interactions among road segments, which are not sufficiently captured by many existing spatio-temporal forecasting models. To address this limitation, this paper proposes PDR-STGCN (Periodicity-Aware Dynamic Relational Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network), an enhanced STGCN framework that jointly models multi-scale periodicity and dynamically evolving spatial dependencies for traffic flow prediction. Specifically, a periodicity-aware embedding module is designed to capture heterogeneous temporal cycles (e.g., daily and weekly patterns) and …

Dehpr: A Diffusion-Based End-To-End Hand Pose Reconstruction Network, Guoqiong Liao, Longjie Huang, Qingxin Li, Jiajun Zhang, Kefan Chen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Traditional methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers suffer from strong dependence on large-scale annotated data and limited generalization capability when dealing with hand pose reconstruction in complex scenarios. To address these issues, a diffusion-based end-to-end hand pose reconstruction network (DEHPR) is proposed. This method employs a diffusion model to directly generate and refine 3D predictions, thereby reducing spatial uncertainties inherent in 2D-to-3D modeling paradigms. By incorporating an end-to-end framework that reprojects multiple 3D candidate predictions to select optimal joint positions, the approach ultimately produces accurate hand pose estimations. Comprehensive evaluations conducted on HO3D V2, DexYCB, …

Exploitation Prioritization And Residual Risk Assessment Based On Hybrid Mcdm Model, Zibo Wang, Yaofang Zhang, Sicai Lv, Yingzhou Wang, Hongri Liu, Bailing Wang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Exploitation is one of the most significant ways to launch attacks using vulnerabilities. The increasing number of vulnerabilities and limited allocation of security resources make it impossible to eliminate all exploitations. Because not every vulnerability can be fixed, it is necessary to rank exploitations and subsequently assess the residual risk, which is defined as the remaining threat potential after each elimination. In this paper, a structured and flexible decision support framework based on a hybrid multicriteria decision-making model is proposed for prioritizing exploitations and assessing residual risk. Metrics are treated as criteria in the model. The hybrid model is developed …

A Deep Learning-Based Real-Time No-Reference Image Decolorization Network With Perceptual Preservation, Mengjuan Zhao, Yitao Liang, Weiya Shi, Juan Xia

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Currently, grayscale images are preferred as input data for some specific vision tasks. Decolorization is the transformation of a color image into a grayscale image. Efficient decolorization algorithms can improve the overall task efficiency, while perceptual preservation in decolorization can provide more information for further processing. In recent research, traditional methods focus on preserving contrast or detail information with little attention to perceptual features. Deep-learning methods are beginning to consider perceptual preservation, but they run inefficiently. In addition, the decolorization methods lack the optimal target grayscale images for reference. Therefore, we propose a new deep learning-based real-time no-reference decolorization network …

Analysis Of A Few Quantum Algorithms And Circuits Related To Boolean Functions, Suman Dutta

Doctoral Theses

Boolean functions are fundamental to computation and presently play a crucial role in quantum information processing. This thesis presents two facets of Boolean functions in the context of quantum computing: (I) extending and applying the theoretical framework of Forrelation to cryptographic analysis, and (II) designing efficient quantum circuits for multi-controlled Toffoli gates and Boolean circuit implementations. Given two Boolean functions $f$ and $g$, Forrelation, introduced by Aaronson (2010), measures the correlation between the truth table of $f$ and the Walsh-Hadamard transform of $g$ at the corresponding points. Here, we revisit the Forrelation framework to study several cryptographically significant spectra of …

Combinatorial & Algebraic Approaches In Analyzing Mutually Unbiased Bases (Mubs) And Their Approximations, Rakesh Kumar

Doctoral Theses

Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are an important concept in quantum information theory. Two orthonormal bases in a $d$-dimensional complex Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^d$ are said to be mutually unbiased if the absolute value of the inner product between any pair of vectors, one from each basis, is $1/\sqrt{d}$. A set of $r$ orthonormal bases is called mutually unbiased if every pair of bases in the set is unbiased. It is known that at most $d + 1$ mutually unbiased bases can exist in $\mathbb{C}^d$, and a set achieving this bound is termed a \emph{complete sets of MUBs} in $\mathbb{C}^d$. We can …

Single-Valued Neutrosophic Pessimistic Multi-Granulation Rough Set Model Based On (A,B,C)-Cut Relations And Its Applications, Xu-Xi Wu, Hu Zhao, Qiao-Ling Song, Xiong-Wei Zhang

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

To address uncertainty in multi-source data, this paper proposes a single-valued neutrosophic pessimistic multi-granulation rough set (P-SVN-MGRS) model based on (a,b,c)-cut relations. In this framework, each neutrosophic relation is characterized by three membership-degree functions: T(x,y), I(x,y), and F(x,y). These functions correspond to truth-membership, indeterminacy, and falsity, respectively. The (α,β,γ)-cut relation employs parameters α,β,γ∈(0,1] as thresholds for the three functions. A pair (x,y) belongs to …

Pythagorean Neutrosophic Mathematical Modelling, M. Kavitha, R. Irene Hepzibah

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Survey-based assessments often suffer from ambiguity, inconsistency, and uncertainty, which weaken the reliability of decision-making outcomes. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel decision-support framework for data fuzzification, ranking, and agility measurement using Pythagorean Neutrosophic Fuzzy Sets (PNFS). The proposed method offers three major advantages: (i) enhanced ability to capture high levels of indeterminacy compared with classical fuzzy and intuitionistic models, (ii) improved ranking accuracy through a newly developed score function and ranking algorithm, and (iii) greater robustness in scenarios involving conflicting, incomplete, or imprecise expert judgments. The framework includes a refined Pythagorean Neutrosophic fuzzification technique, mathematically supported …

Neutrosophic Hankel Transforms And Their Application To Cross-Domain Legislative Integration, Mona Gharib, Mehboob Ali, Ishtiaq Hussain

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This paper introduces the Neutrosophic Hankel Transform (NHT) as a novel mathematical framework for modeling systems with radial structure under uncertainty, indeterminacy, and inconsistency. Building upon classical Hankel transforms and neutrosophic logic, we define two complementary realizations: a componentwise transform (NHT–C) that transports uncertainty with the signal, and a kernel-weighted transform (NHT–K) that embeds neutrosophic weights into the integral kernel. We establish linearity, inversion, and Parseval-type relations, and derive operational rules that diagonalize the Bessel radial operator.

To demonstrate utility, we formulate a radial diffusion–reaction model for pollutant concentration in a radialized river cross-section and solve it in closed form …
