Abstract: To address the issue of the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual conversion of two-dimensional CAD design drawings of buildings into three-dimensional models, and leveraging the characteristic that stadiums contain a large number of repetitively and regularly arranged objects, this study proposes a similar graphical element detection algorithm. This algorithm detects similarities between graphical elements by constructing their bounding boxes and calculating the L2-Norm distance, identifying all graphical elements of the same type within the CAD drawing. Furthermore, a transformation sequence detection algorithm is proposed. Based on the geometric transformation relationships between graphical elements, a geometric transformation space is defined.

Visual Relocalization Method Combining Region Classification And Local Feature Enhancement, Yining Wang, Yanli Liu, Guanyu Xing
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Visual relocalization tasks have important application value in fields such as digital twin and augmented reality. The current mainstream methods still face challenges such as mismatch between coordinate regression scale and receptive field and insufficient attention to local information. A visual relocalization method that combines region classification and local feature enhancement is proposed. The coordinate regression problem in large space is transformed into a multi-region classification problem and a coordinate regression problem inside a small scene, which significantly reduces the uncertainty of coordinate regression and makes the network globally have a large receptive field. A conditioning layer using deep …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To improve the accuracy, controllability, and realism of text-driven human motion generation, a novel method is proposed that integrates fine-grained textual semantics with spatial control signals. Within the diffusion model framework, both global text tokens and body-part-level local tokens are introduced. These are encoded using CLIP to obtain corresponding features, which are then fed into the motion diffusion model to enable fine control over different body parts. Spatial guidance is used to dynamically adjust joint positions during the diffusion denoising process, ensuring that the generated motion adheres to spatial constraints. Realism guidance is incorporated to enhance the naturalness and …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To address the challenge of detecting small and low-contrast defects in complex microscopic images, a defect method technology based on hierarchical microscopic feature modeling and simulation is proposed. The method is built on the RT-DETR (real-time detection transformer)framework to construct the HM-RTDETR (hierarchical microscopic RT-DETR) model. It maintains the global feature modeling ability of the Transformer and introduces a Dense O2O-Mosaic, a high-density one-to-one Mosaic augmentation strategy, to increase supervision density for small samples. A depthwise separable convolution (DWConv) module is used to enhance local detail extraction in microscopic textures, and a learnable PatchExpand module is applied …

Material Reconstruction From Single Image Combining Neural Networks With Singular Value Decomposition, Zhiqiang Li, Xukun Shen, Yong Hu, Xueyang Zhou, Yifan Chen
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: The tabulated BRDFs (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) can realistically reproduce the surface appearance of objects. However, due to their high-dimensional characteristics and the fact that a single planar image contains limited reflectance information and small differences, methods for estimating tabulated BRDFs typically require complex equipment or the capture of multiple images. To address this issue, a method is proposed for reconstructing material properties from a single image by combining neural networks with singular value decomposition. The singular value decomposition is introduced to compress the material into a lower-dimensional space. The task of solving the tabulated BRDFs is simplified to …

Full-Body Co-Speech Gesture Generation Based On Spatial-Temporal Enhanced Generation Model, Shuozhe Zhang, Wenfeng Song, Xia Hou, Shuai Li
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Full-body co-speech gesture generation significantly enhances the interactivity of virtual digital humans, requiring generated gestures to not only align accurately with speech but also demonstrate realistic full-body dynamics. To address limitations of existing methods—Transformer-based approaches often overlook temporal features of action sequences, while diffusion model-based ones inadequately capture spatial correlations between body parts, a full-body action generation method integrating diffusion models, Mamba, and attention mechanisms is proposed. We introduce the spatial self-attention-temporal state space model (STMamba Layer) as the core of denoising network to extract
inter-part spatial features and intra-part temporal features, thus enhancing action quality and diversity. …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To overcome the limitations of traditional badminton training, a VR training method that integrates multiple models for collaborative simulation is proposed. A "perception-decision- interaction" framework is developed within Unity, featuring diverse training modules powered by a physics engine for realistic trajectory simulation. The system employs a lightweight MHFormer for 3D pose estimation and a novel multi-task model (enhanced injury prediction system, EIPS) that combines random forest and XGBoost to jointly assess injury risk. This approach offers a solution for balancing real-time performance with accuracy in skeleton reconstruction and enables personalized training through dynamic risk assessment.

Spatio-Temporal Swin Transformer-Based Flow-Solid Coupling Interaction Sequence Image Prediction Network, Changjun Zou, Zhiyu Ge, Chenxi Zhong
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To address limitations in modeling long-term dependencies and multi-scale features in fluidstructure interaction scenarios, a spatiotemporal deep learning model (SwinLSTM) integrating ConvLSTM and Swin Transformer is proposed. The model employs a gated spatiotemporal attention mechanism that dynamically embeds Swin Transformer's window-based multi-head self-attention into ConvLSTM's output gate, enabling adaptive temporal-spatial feature coupling, and designs a multi-level ConvLSTM framework to hierarchically capture complex spatiotemporal correlations. Experiments on a self-built fluid-interaction dataset show that our method achieves the highest PSNR and leading SSIM scores, with superior performance in preserving vortex details and boundary consistency. This work provides an efficient solution …

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, …

Cross-Domain Crowd Counting Model Based On Frequency Domain Enhancement, De Zhang, Zishan Liang, Ningning Liu
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Crowd counting takes video surveillance data as input and can be applied to the construction of city digital twin platforms, virtual city modeling and smart city management, etc. However, when there are data domain differences between the application scenario and training scenario, counting performance often significantly decreases. A cross-domain crowd counting model based on frequency domain enhancement is proposed. To alleviate the distribution differences between domains, a frequency domain feature enhancement module and a domain invariant frequency domain adapter module are constructed: the former uses discrete cosine transform to extract key statistical features to enhance spatial representation ability, while …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In autonomous driving simulation and industrial virtual reality simulation, there is a high demand for accuracy and robustness in 3D human body modeling. However, current joint-based human modeling approaches suffer from issues such as continuous modeling jitter, local distortion, and poor adaptability to occlusion, which degrade model quality and limit the development of practical applications such as intelligent driving and digital factories.

Composite materials have become a critical component of modern manufacturing, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries. The curing process for these composites has been modeled using a variety of partial differential equations representing the heat transfer and composite curing kinetics. Optimizing the applied temperature profile is critical for maximizing the efficiency and capacity of composite part manufacturers. Constraints must be placed on the inputs and outputs of the model, including but not limited to, the applied temperature profile, part temperature, and final degree of cure. Conflicting sets of constraints are easy to unknowingly impose due to the highly coupled …

Data Defines Success: Algorithm For Dataset Quality Assessment In Deep Learning For Malware Detection, Matei Ionescu
Theses and Dissertations
The field of artificial intelligence is based upon the premise of constructing architectures through which to propagate training data. However, the majority of existing research literature is focused on architecture. While necessary, the attention devoted to the architecture should not so precipitously exceed that of the data. It should be noted that this disparity is not without reasonable cause. Data quality is often exceedingly difficult to verify due to particularities of the field or subfield; LLM repositories of text are distinct from image recognition pictures of dog breeds which are distinct from EEG waveforms of human brains which are distinct …
Basis Design For Electronic Structure And Beyond, Weishi Wang
Basis Design For Electronic Structure And Beyond, Weishi Wang
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
At the intersection of quantum physics, quantum chemistry, and materials science, electronic structure is the study of electrons in solid-state and molecular systems. Electronic-structure computation relies on discretizing the many-electron Hamiltonian with a finite single-particle basis set. However, basis-set construction is conventionally treated as an ad hoc preprocessing step. This thesis develops an expressive and flexible framework for active, system-oriented basis-set design and numerical modeling strategies that treat basis functions as tunable representations to encode electronic ground-state information.
We first introduce a multi-layered, differentiable basis-construction framework that embeds a set of primitive parameters into mixed-contracted Gaussian-type orbitals. We then develop …
Toward Efficient And Scalable Scientific Data Management Through Quality-Oriented Data Compression, Pu Jiao
Toward Efficient And Scalable Scientific Data Management Through Quality-Oriented Data Compression, Pu Jiao
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
Scientific simulations and instruments now produce data at rates that overwhelm the storage, memory, and network subsystems of modern high-performance computing (HPC) facilities. Error-bounded lossy compression reduces data movement costs while bounding reconstruction error, yet three barriers limit its adoption in mission-critical workflows: existing compressors cannot guarantee the accuracy of domain-specific quantities of interest (QoIs) derived from compressed data; compression-induced artifacts such as posterization, blocking, and interpolation banding erode user confidence in decompressed fields; and significant compressibility in the quantization index arrays of interpolation-based pipelines remains unexploited. This dissertation addresses all three barriers through four contributions, with the artifact barrier …
Utilizing Computer Modeling To Optimize Electric Fields Within Xenon Time Projection Chambers, Miles Meloni
Utilizing Computer Modeling To Optimize Electric Fields Within Xenon Time Projection Chambers, Miles Meloni
Honors Theses
XENONnT is a physics experiment designed with the goal of detecting dark matter particles. The detector is a time projection chamber; a series of charged electrodes creates an electric field, surrounding a central body filled with liquid and gaseous xenon. Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), positioned on either end of the chamber, serve to detect light signals. We seek to minimize the root mean square of the electric field norms experienced by the PMTs. This quantity corresponds to the variance in the electric field observed by the PMTs. Establishing a consistent electric field is important to maintaining these sensitive components. The electric …

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Macroeconomic predictions present challenges in machine learning due to the rarity of economic recessions, the constantly-changing matter of global markets, and severe class imbalance in historical data. This project focuses on predicting the onset of United States economic recessions within a 12-month window using Python and Jupyter Notebook. A machine learning pipeline was developed utilizing multiple models: Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks. For class imbalance, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied strictly to training data, paired with Platt scaling for calibration on thresholds. The resulting models were evaluated in the 2005 …
A General Algorithm For Assortment Optimization Under Random Utility Choice Models, Tien Mai, Andrea Lodi
A General Algorithm For Assortment Optimization Under Random Utility Choice Models, Tien Mai, Andrea Lodi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This work concerns the assortment optimization problem that refers to selecting a subset of items that maximizes the expected revenue in the presence of the substitution behavior of consumers specified by a random utility choice model. The key challenge lies in the computational difficulty of finding the best subset solution, which often requires exhaustive search. The literature on constrained assortment optimization lacks a practically efficient method that is general to deal with different types of customer choice models (e.g., the multinomial logit, mixed logit or general multivariate extreme value models). In this work, we propose a new approach that allows …

Geovig And Purevig: Geometry-Aware Architectures For Efficient Computer Vision, Omar Ismail
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Deploying deep learning models for medical image analysis on mobile devices requires a balance between inference latency, memory footprint, and delineating anatomical boundaries with high accuracy. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and mobile Vision Transformers (ViTs) offer efficiency, they often struggle to model the irregular, non-local geometric structures inherent in biological tissues without incurring prohibitive computational costs. In this thesis, we introduce GeoViG (Geometric Vision Graph), an architecture that bridges the gap between efficient grid-based processing and explicit Geometric Deep Learning. GeoViG introduces a novel transition from high-resolution pixel grids to low-resolution dynamic graphs via a SpreadEdgePool operator, a geometry-aware …

Learning-Based Graph Shrinking For Quantum Optimization Of Constrained Combinatorial Problems, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau
Learning-Based Graph Shrinking For Quantum Optimization Of Constrained Combinatorial Problems, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Graph shrinking has recently emerged as a powerful preprocessing technique for hybrid classical–quantum optimization, enabling variable and constraint reduction before quantum solving. Conventional approaches rely on Semi-Definite Programming (SDP) relaxations to compute vertex correlations, but these methods suffer from high computational overhead, instance-specific tuning, and limited generalizability. In this work, we replace the handcrafted SDP correlation stage with a reinforcement learning (RL) based correlation estimator, trained to predict merge quality directly from graph structure. We reformulate the graph shrinking process as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), design a Graph Neural Network (GNN) policy to guide vertex merging, and integrate the …
Hybrid Learning And Optimization Methods For Solving Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau
Hybrid Learning And Optimization Methods For Solving Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose a hybrid quantum–classical framework for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) that integrates the Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) with deep reinforcement learning (RL). Directly solving CVRP via Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) requires a slack-based QUBO formulation, where converting inequalities to equalities greatly increases the qubit count. To circumvent this, we employ an ALM-based reformulation that enforces constraints through Lagrange terms instead of slack variables, drastically reducing quantum resource demands. An RL agent, trained with Soft Actor–Critic, adaptively tunes the Lagrange penalties to improve convergence and feasibility. Experiments show that RL-Q-ALM outperforms static-penalty and plain VQE baselines in both …
