The design of 3D scenes is of great significance, and one of the crucial areas is interior scene design. This study not only pertains to the living environment of individuals but also has applications in the design and development of virtual environments. Previous work on indoor scenes has focused on understanding and editing existing indoor scenes, such as scene reconstruction, segmentation tasks, texture, object localization, and rendering. In this study, we propose a novel task in the realm of indoor scene comprehension, amalgamating interior design principles with professional evaluation criteria: 3D indoor scene design assessment. Furthermore, we propose an approach using a transformer encoder–decoder architecture and a dual-graph convolutional network. Our approach facilitates users in posing text-based inquiries; accepts input in two modalities, point cloud representations of indoor scenes and textual queries; and ultimately generates a probability distribution indicating positive, neutral, and negative assessments of interior design. The proposed method uses separately pre-trained modules, including a 3D visual question-answering module and a dual-graph convolutional network for identifying emotional tendencies of text.

With developments in global economic integration and the increase in future economic uncertainty, it is imperative to have the ability to predict future capital in relation to financial capital inflow and outflow predictions to ensure capital optimization is within a controllable range within the current macroeconomic environment and situation. This paper proposes an automated capital prediction strategy for the capital supply chain using time series analysis artificial intelligence methods. Firstly, to analyze the fluctuation and tail risk of the financial characteristics, the paper explores the financial characteristics for measuring the dynamic VaR from the perspectives of volatility, tail, and peak with the Bayesian peaks over threshold (POT) model. Following this, in order to make the modeling more refined, the forecast targets are split before modeling with seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models and Prophet models. Finally, the time series modeling of the wavelet Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model is carried out using a two-part analysis method to determine the linear separated wavelet and non-linear embedded wavelet parts to predict strong volatility in financial capital. Taking the user capital flow of the Yu’e Bao platform, the results prove the feasibility and prediction accuracy of the innovative model proposed. Full article

With continuous progress in science and technology, a large amount of data are produced in all fields of the world at anytime and anywhere. These data are unmarked and lack marking information, while manual marking is time-consuming and laborious. Herein, this paper introduces a distributed semi-supervised labeling framework. This framework addresses the issue of missing data by proposing an attribute-filling method based on subspace learning. Furthermore, this paper presents a distributed semi-supervised learning strategy that trains sub-models (private models) within each sub-system. Finally, this paper develops a distributed graph convolutional neural network fusion technique with enhanced interpretability grounded on the attention mechanism. This paper assigns weights of importance to the edges of each layer in the graph neural network based on sub-models and public data, thereby enabling distributed and interpretable graph convolutional attention. Extensive experimentation using public datasets demonstrates the superiority of the proposed scheme over other state-of-the-art baselines, achieving a reduction in loss of 50% compared to the original approach.

This study investigates the problem of time-varying formation tracking (TVFT) control involving event-triggered and switching topological mechanisms. Specifically, TVFT is evaluated with a consensus analysis and deduced via the use of linear matrix inequality techniques combined with Lyapunov stability theory. This strategy obtains sufficient conditions for system stability and the feedback and coupling gains. In addition, the TVFT compensational signals are presented in two cases to enhance the algorithm’s applicability. Given that ideal multi-agent systems (MASs) should be highly flexible and resilient, we propose a co-design algorithm that strikes a balance between the need for a lower communication frequency and a reduction in the state disagreements of agents. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis is demonstrated through 3D figures and comparison tables, from which it can be concluded that the communication frequency of the MAS was clearly reduced on the basis of ensuring consensus performance via applying the algorithm proposed in this paper.

This paper focuses on the mean square exponential stability of stochastic delay differential systems with logic impulses. Firstly, a class of nonlinear stochastic delay differential systems with logic impulses is constructed. Then, the logic impulses are transformed into an equivalent algebraic expression by using the semi-tensor product method. Thirdly, the mean square exponential stability criteria of nonlinear stochastic delay differential systems with logic impulses are given. Finally, two kinds of stochastic delay differential systems with logic impulses and uncertain parameters are discussed, and the coefficient conditions guaranteeing the mean square exponential stability of these systems are obtained.

This paper mainly investigates the exponential stability of switched neural networks (SNNs) with partial state reset and time-varying delays, in which partial state reset means that only a fraction of the states can be reset at each switching instant. Moreover, both stable and unstable subsystems are also taken into account and therefore, switched systems under consideration can take several switched systems as special cases. The comparison principle, the Halanay-like inequality, and the time-dependent switched Lyapunov function approach are used to obtain sufficient conditions to ensure that the considered SNNs with delays and partial state reset are exponentially stable. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the reliability of the developed results. Full article

In this paper, a brief survey on the stability of differential systems with impulsive effects is provided. A large number of research results on the stability of differential systems with impulsive effects are considered. These systems include impulsive differential systems, stochastic impulsive differential systems and differential systems with several specific impulses (non-instantaneous impulses, delayed impulses, impulses suffered by logic choice and impulse time windows). The stability issues as well as the applications in neural networks are discussed in detail. Full article
