In this letter, we investigate the detailed epidemic spreading process in scale-free networks with links' weights that denote familiarity between two individuals and find that spreading velocity reaches a peak quickly then decays in a power-law form. Numerical study exhibits that the nodes with larger strength is preferential to be infected, but the hierarchical dynamics are not clearly found, which is different from the well-known result in unweighed network case. In addition, also by numerical study, we demonstrate that larger dispersion of weight of networks results in slower spreading, which indicates that epidemic spreads more quickly on unweighted scale-free networks than on weighted scale-free networks with the same condition.

Inductive link prediction---where entities during training and inference stages can be different---has been shown to be promising for completing continuously evolving knowledge graphs. Existing models of inductive reasoning mainly focus on predicting missing links by learning logical rules. However, many existing approaches do not take into account semantic correlations between relations, which are commonly seen in real-world knowledge graphs. To address this challenge, we propose a novel inductive reasoning approach, namely TACT, which can effectively exploit Topology-Aware CorrelaTions between relations in an entity-independent manner. TACT is inspired by the observation that the semantic correlation between two relations is highly correlated to their topological structure in knowledge graphs. Specifically, we categorize all relation pairs into several topological patterns, and then propose a Relational Correlation Network (RCN) to learn the importance of the different patterns for inductive link prediction. Experiments demonstrate that TACT can effectively model semantic correlations between relations, and significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets for the inductive link prediction task.

The visual loop closure detection for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is a key component to reduce the drift error accumulated in simultaneous localization and mapping tasks. However, due to viewpoint changes, textureless images, and fast-moving objects, the loop closure detection in dramatically changing underwater environments remains a challenging problem to traditional geometric methods. Inspired by strong feature learning ability of deep neural networks, we propose an underwater loop closure detection method based on a variational auto-encoder network in this paper. Our proposed method can learn effective image representations to deal with the challenges caused by dynamic underwater environments. Specifically, the proposed network is an unsupervised method, which avoids the difficulty and cost of labeling a great quantity of underwater data. Also included is a semantic object segmentation module, which is utilized to segment the underwater environments and assign weights to objects in order to alleviate the impact of fastmoving objects. Furthermore, an underwater image description scheme is used to enable efficient access to geometric and objectlevel semantic information, which helps to build a robust and real-time system in dramatically changing underwater scenarios. Finally, we test the proposed system under complex underwater environments and get a recall rate of 92.31% in the tested environments.

Abstract. We study the deformation-obstruction theory of Koszul cohomology groups of g r d 's on singular nodal curves. We compute the obstruction classes for Koszul cohomology classes on singular curves to deform to a smooth one. In the case the obstructions are nontrivial, we obtain some partial results for generic vanishing of Koszul cohomology groups.

With the rapid development of network technologies, the network security of industrial control systems has aroused widespread concern. As a defense mechanism, an ideal intrusion detection system (IDS) can effectively detect abnormal behaviors in a system without affecting the performance of the industrial control system (ICS). Many deep learning methods are used to build an IDS, which rely on massive numbers of variously labeled samples for model training. However, network traffic is imbalanced, and it is difficult for researchers to obtain sufficient attack samples. In addition, the attack variants are rich, and constructing all possible attack types in advance is impossible. In order to overcome these challenges and improve the performance of an IDS, this paper presents a novel intrusion detection approach which integrates a one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder (1DCAE) and support vector data description (SVDD) for the first time. For the two-stage training process, 1DCAE fails to retain the key features of intrusion detection and SVDD has to add restrictions, so a joint optimization solution is introduced. A three-stage optimization process is proposed to obtain better performance. Experiments on the benchmark intrusion detection dataset NSL-KDD show that the proposed method can effectively detect various unknown attacks, learning with only normal traffic. Compared with the recent state-of-art intrusion detection baselines, the proposed method is improved in most metrics.
