    At present, most studies use some dimensionality reduction methods to convert high-dimensional vectors into low-dimensional vector representations, and then apply related vector retrieval optimization technology to achieve fast similarity retrieval, thereby improving the application performance of large models. Currently, there are many and scattered dimensionality reduction methods for high-dimensional data, and the dimensionality reduction methods used in different research backgrounds are different. Similarly, there are also many different retrieval ideas and optimization methods in vector retrieval technology. By reviewing the main ideas and optimization methods of recent dimensionality reduction and retrieval algorithms, this paper helps to generate inspiring connections between the two and support the development and in-depth research of subsequent high-dimensional vector retrieval optimization algorithms.

    This paper proposes an emoji embedded representation based on emotion distribution (EDEER) method. The EDEER method adopts the soft label of BERT-based emotion prediction model to learn emoji embedded representation from real data, and directly models the expression degree of emoji on various sentiments through emotion distribution, so that the embedded representation contains various emotional information of emoji. Multiple sets of comparative experiments on the Chinese Weibo dataset containing emoji shows that the method proposed in this paper can effectively learn emoji embedded representations that are directly related to fine-grained sentiments, and build an emoji representation space with high emotional expression quality.

    Superhydrophobic materials have been widely applied in anti-fouling, oil-water separation, and fluid manipulation due to their excellent liquid repellency. As a result of the synergistic effect between surface micro/nano structures and low surface energy substances, the surface wettability of superhydrophobic materials is highly susceptible to physical damage, UV irradiation, chemical corrosion, etc., which significantly limits their practical applications. Therefore, developing durable superhydrophobic materials is desirable. In the past decade, researchers have extended the service life of superhydrophobic materials by endowing them with self-healing properties, which not only enhances their practical performance but also broadens the application fields. In this review, an overview of the recent development of self-healing superhydrophobic materials focusing on fabrication strategies and possible applications is provided. Finally, an outlook on the future fabrication direction and application of self-healing superhydrophobic materials is presented.

    JOURNAL OF SHANDONG UNIVERSITY(NATURAL SCIENCE)    2023, 58 (9): 1-15.   DOI: 10.6040/j.issn.1671-9352.0.2023.168

    The popularity of the Internet has had a significant impact on the development of computing paradigms. With the continuous improvement of the new generation of information technology infrastructures, academia and industry have been constantly exploring new computing paradigms to fully exploit computing powers. The huge data generated by massive IoT devices gradually exceeds the processing capability of the high-performance back-end represented by cloud servers. Edge computing alleviates this problem through cloud-edge-end coordination, but there still exist difficulties and challenges such as low computing power utilization, low computing and storage fault tolerance capability, and low integration of computing resorces. "Meta Computing" is a new computing paradigm that aims to break down the barriers of computing powers in a zero-trust environment. It can integrate all available connected computing and storage resources, provide efficient, byzantine fault-tolerant, and personalized services, while protecting the data and user privacy. Furthermere, meta computing can ensure the correctness of results, and realize "the entire network can be regarded as a giant computer for a user", that is, "Network-as-a-Computer, NaaC", which is also called "Meta Computer". The meta computer architecture includes a number of function modules including a device management module and a zero-trust computing management module, as well as the cloud-edge-end device resources. The device management module abstracts massive heterogeneous device resources into objects that can be freely manipulated, while the zero-trust computing management module can transparently allocate computing resources to user tasks according to service requirements, complete the tasks with strong fault tolerance and verifiable outputs, and finally settle accounts. Based on the analysis of the architecture and the functional characteristics of meta computing, we put forward suggestions and advice on the development path of meta computing, that is, transitioning from local to global, and analyze the most-influential future application scenarios of meta computing and provide a reasonable plan for the implementation and development of meta computing in future.

    Abstract797)   HTML4)    PDF(pc) (4543KB)(1581)       Save

    A fuzzy border-peeling clustering (FBP) algorithm is proposed. First, a density estimation method based on Cauchy kernel is used to calculate the densities of data points. Secondly, the boundary data are separated from the core data using the layer-by-layer peeling strategy. Thirdly, the reachability between the core data is used to achieve the core region clustering. Finally, a fuzzy assignment strategy is used to achieve the soft partitioning of the boundary data. A comparison is made between the fuzzy border-peeling clustering and 10 benchmark algorithms, including 6 density-based clustering algorithms and 4 fuzzy clustering algorithms, on artificial and real-world datasets. The experimental results show that on all datasets, FBP has the ARI (adjusted rand index) increased by 21% to 60% on average, and FBP has the NMI (normalized mutual information) increased by 12% to 47% on average. The border-peeling clustering algorithm optimized based on Cauchy kernel and fuzzy assignment strategy significantly improves the accuracy of clustering.

    In order to facilitate banks to assess the credit risk of small and medium-sized enterprises, and formulate the optimal credit strategy, an indicator system composed of four primary risk assessment indicators, namely, business income ability, profitability, customer stability, and transaction vitality, is constructed by using the bank flow information of enterprises with upstream and downstream partners. The enterprise credit risk is predicted based on Logistic regression, and compares it with error back-propagation neural network. Combining the probability of default and the retention rate under different interest rates, taking the maximum expected return of banks on small and medium-sized enterprises as the objective function, the credit strategy optimization model is established. In order to verify the effectiveness of the model, the credit risk assessment and credit strategy optimization models are empirically analyzed. The results indicate that Logistic regression has high accuracy and recall, and the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic reaches 0.964, which is suitable for credit risk prediction and assessment of small and medium-sized enterprises. The credit strategy optimization model can determine the loan amount and loan interest rate of each lending enterprise, and maximize the expected return of the bank.

    The standard grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm has issues such as difficulty balancing local exploration and global development. A multi-strategy grey wolf optimization algorithm (MSGWO), based on the fusion of various strategies, is presented to address such problems. First, the grey wolf algorithm introduces the Tent map and a nonlinear convergence factor. Then, to coordinate attempts in the GWO optimization process, the paper applies three learning strategies: extensive learning, elite learning, and coordinated learning. Finally, the paper uses roulette wheel for strategy selection to obtain more diverse wolf positions and globally representative individuals and utilizes benchmark function testing to compare algorithm variations. The outcomes demonstrate that the MSGWO algorithm has a faster convergence speed and a good balance between local development and global search. Based on this, the echo state networks (ESN) hyperparameter for regression prediction is optimized using the MSGWO method. The experiment demonstrates that the MSGWO algorithm performs optimally with an average absolute percentage error of 0.38 percent and a fitting degree of 0.98.

    Understanding the infection and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is the basis for mobilizing indigenous AMF to improve plant resistance. Lycium barbarum in nine fields of the Qaidam Basin were the subject. Based on the basic staining method of AMF, previous studies were optimised to investigate the main factors influencing the observation of AMF on the roots of perennial field-grown L.barbarum. The influence of different regions, soil pH, soil physicochemical properties and the colonization rate of AMF on L.barbarum were also compared. The results showed that the optimal observation effect of AMF colonization rate on the roots of Perennial field-grown L.barbarum in the Qaidam Basin was achieved by the following steps. First, the fixed root segments were placed in a 10% KOH 90 ℃ for 90 min, then in the boiling alkaline peroxide (3 mL NaOH+30 mL 10% H2O2+H2O to 600 mL) for 15-20 min, followed by 5 min of H2O2 bleaching, 5 min of lactic acidification, 5 min of acetone ink staining and 30 min of lactic acid glycerol 90 ℃ decolourisation. This method can clearly observe the structures of vesicles and hyphae in the roots of perennial field-grown L.barbarum. The average AMF colonization rate of perennial field-grown L.barbarum in the Qaidam Basin was about 41.32%. RDA analysis showed that the AMF colonization rate in L.barbarum roots was mainly affected by factors such as soil pH, available phosphorous content(xAP), and available potassium content(xAK), among which the soil pH showed a significant positive correlation with the AMF colonization rate, while xAP and xAK showed a significant negative correlation with the colonization rate.

    LPWAN(low power wide area network)as a protocol that emphasizes low power consumption usually runs on resource-constrained devices. On the one hand, limited resources bring serious challenges to the security of protocol implementation. Manufacturers may have trouble balancing security demands and resource consumption. On the other hand, protocol stacks are deployed on constrained devices as bare-metal firmware. The varying hardware characteristics make automatic analysis difficult. Therefore, a protocol stack analysis framework called ProSE is proposed. Based on symbolic execution and taint analysis, ProSE is specifically designed for protocol vulnerability detection on the firmware of constrained devices. LoRaWAN is chosen for analysis due to its popularity. The framework is capable of detecting various types of vulnerability. ProSE successfully detected 20 potential security vulnerabilities in the implementation of LoRaWAN of 6 manufacturers.

The processis as follows. First, expert teachers provide the question set Q, skill set S, and their corresponding skill multimaps (Q, S; μ). Next, the knowledge and skill structures are obtained from the extension and the intention of (X, B). Thereafter the knowledge structure is used to conduct the adaptive assessment of the sample, and the proportion of their knowledge states is calculated. Subsequently, the equal proportion selection rule of knowledge space theory "binary responses" is optimized to the sample proportion selection rule, facilitate faster assessment effects for examinees in different regions and age groups. Finally, the figure of learning paths for skill sets is drawn.

    The nonlinear expectation is an original research direction pioneered by Academician Peng Shige of Shandong University, which is becoming increasingly important in various fields of scientific research. The rise of big data and artificial intelligence has provided stronger impetus for innovative theoretical and applied research in nonlinear expectation. Recently, Shandong University's Nonlinear Probability Team has developed the "Strategy Limit Theory" based on the strategic game process of multi-armed bandits, representing a significant breakthrough in the intersection of nonlinear probability theory and reinforcement learning. This has tran-sformed the research paradigm of traditional statistical methods. Based on the proposed 10 basic mathematical problems of artificial intelligence by Academician Xu Zongben, the declaration guide of 2022 major research plan projects issued by the National Natural Science Foundation of China for the research about universal and interpretable artificial intelligence technologies, and the application guide for basic mathematical theory research of artificial intelligence in 2021 and 2022 the key projects of "Mathematics and Applied Research" issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, this article adopts the concept of "strategy" to reveal the nature of artificial intelligence and explore and the motivation source and theoretical basis for initiating and promoting the innovation of artificial intelligence technology. Different from the applications of the traditional law of large numbers and the central limit theorem in the field of artificial intelligence, we propose novel theory about the strategic law of large numbers and the central limit theorem in the new generation of artificial intelligence. The discussed topics in this work include but not limited to: (1) strategic sampling of massive data; (2) online learning of streaming data; (3) the central limit theorem of reinforcement learning; (4) differential privacy protection of data; (5) strategic integration of federal learning; (6) information reconstruction of transfer learning and meta learning; (7) the fusion of knowledge reasoning and data driving.

    A multi-round iterative network alignment method is proposed to address the challenges of large structural differences and high noise sensitivity in anchor nodes in network alignment tasks. The method calculates node features of different dimensions using various heuristic approaches at each iteration, utilizing the combination of multiple features to assess the reliability of anchor nodes, filter potential noise, and enhance the confidence of each alignment round. Additionally, a graph neural network is employed to improve the consistency between nodes without attributes, mitigating the impact of structural differences in networks. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves high accuracy under high noise conditions, verifying its effectiveness.

    Aiming at the problem that fuzzy formal concept analysis is difficult to apply to large-scale datasets in recommendation applications, a recommendation method based on a heuristic construction of fuzzy concept set is proposed. Sub-contexts are constructed for each user based on the similarity between users. Then, new heuristic information is used on the sub-contexts to generate fuzzy concepts with users and items as clues, respectively. Finally, using the internal information of fuzzy concepts, a recommendation confidence integrated with user weights is designed to achieve personalized recommendations for users. The experimental results on six real datasets show that the proposed method has higher recommendation efficiency, and can achieve better recommendation results on sparse data sets compared with classical collaborative filtering algorithms.

    Aiming at the multi-attribute group decision making problem with known attribute weights under probabilistic hesitant fuzzy environments, hesitation degrees of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets are considered, and thus a new method of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making is proposed based on improved distance measures. Firstly, combining the traditional probabilistic hesitant fuzzy distance measures, improved probabilistic hesitant fuzzy distance measures with hesitation degrees are defined through information fusion, including the Hamming distance, Euclidean distance, and generalized Euclidean distance. These new measures depend on combination coefficients to achieve the theoretical expansion and fusion optimization, and size relationships and parameter monotonicity of distance measures are studied. Secondly, according to the improved distance measures, a new method of multi-attribute group decision making is constructed by using the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) method, and an example of company location is used to make decision selection. The effectiveness of the proposed method is revealed by parameter analysis and decision comparison. Related researches systematically deepen probabilistic hesitant fuzzy distance measures, and effectively enrich multi-attribute group decision-making methods.
