From News to Forecast: Integrating Event Analysis in LLM-Based Time Series Forecasting with Reflection

This paper introduces a novel approach to enhance time series forecasting using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Agents. With language as a medium, our method adaptively integrates various social events into forecasting models, aligning news content with time series fluctuations for enriched insights. Specifically, we utilize LLM-based agents to iteratively filter out irrelevant news and employ human-like reasoning and reflection to evaluate predictions. This enables our model to analyze complex events, such as unexpected incidents and shifts in social behavior, and continuously refine the selection logic of news and the robustness of the agent's output. By compiling selected news with time series data, we fine-tune the LLaMa2 pre-trained model. The results demonstrate significant improvements in forecasting accuracy and suggest a potential paradigm shift in time series forecasting by effectively harnessing unstructured news data.

Pi-fusion: Physics-informed diffusion model for learning fluid dynamics

Physics-informed deep learning has been developed as a novel paradigm for learning physical dynamics recently. While general physics-informed deep learning methods have shown early promise in learning fluid dynamics, they are difficult to generalize in arbitrary time instants in real-world scenario, where the fluid motion can be considered as a time-variant trajectory involved large-scale particles. Inspired by the advantage of diffusion model in learning the distribution of data, we first propose Pi-fusion, a physics-informed diffusion model for predicting the temporal evolution of velocity and pressure field in fluid dynamics. Physics-informed guidance sampling is proposed in the inference procedure of Pi-fusion to improve the accuracy and interpretability of learning fluid dynamics. Furthermore, we introduce a training strategy based on reciprocal learning to learn the quasiperiodical pattern of fluid motion and thus improve the generalizability of the model. The proposed approach are then evaluated on both synthetic and real-world dataset, by comparing it with state-of-the-art physics-informed deep learning methods. Experimental results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing methods for predicting temporal evolution of velocity and pressure field, confirming its strong generalization by drawing probabilistic inference of forward process and physics-informed guidance sampling. The proposed Pi-fusion can also be generalized in learning other physical dynamics governed by partial differential equations.

Applying large language models (LLMs) to power systems presents a promising avenue for enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. However, this action may also incur potential security threats, which have not been fully recognized so far. To this end, this letter analyzes potential threats incurred by applying LLMs to power systems, emphasizing the need for urgent research and development of countermeasures.

STPrompt: Semantic-guided and Task-driven prompts for Effective Few-shot Classification

The effectiveness of prompt learning has been demonstrated in different pre-trained language models. By formulating suitable template and choosing representative label mapping, prompt learning can be used as an efficient knowledge probe. However, finding suitable prompt in existing methods requires multiple experimental attempts or appropriate vector initialization on formulating suitable template and choosing representative label mapping, which it is more common in few-shot learning tasks. Motivating by PLM working process, we try to construct the prompt from task semantic perspective and thus propose the STPrompt -Semantic-guided and Task-driven Prompt model. Specifically, two novel prompts generated from the semantic dependency tree (Dep-prompt) and task-specific metadata description (Meta-prompt), are firstly constructed in a prompt augmented pool, and the proposed model would automatically select a suitable semantic prompt to motivating the prompt learning process. Our results show that the proposed model achieves the state-of-the-art performance in five different datasets of few-shot text classification tasks, which prove that more semantic and significant prompts could assume as a better knowledge proving tool.

Construction and Application of Teaching System Based on Crowdsourcing Knowledge Graph

Through the combination of crowdsourcing knowledge graph and teaching system, research methods to generate knowledge graph and its applications. Using two crowdsourcing approaches, crowdsourcing task distribution and reverse captcha generation, to construct knowledge graph in the field of teaching system. Generating a complete hierarchical knowledge graph of the teaching domain by nodes of school, student, teacher, course, knowledge point and exercise type. The knowledge graph constructed in a crowdsourcing manner requires many users to participate collaboratively with fully consideration of teachers' guidance and users' mobilization issues. Based on the three subgraphs of knowledge graph, prominent teacher, student learning situation and suitable learning route could be visualized. Personalized exercises recommendation model is used to formulate the personalized exercise by algorithm based on the knowledge graph. Collaborative creation model is developed to realize the crowdsourcing construction mechanism. Though unfamiliarity with the learning mode of knowledge graph and learners' less attention to the knowledge structure, system based on Crowdsourcing Knowledge Graph can still get high acceptance around students and teachers

Reducing the X-ray radiation exposure frequency in cardio-angiography via deep-learning based video interpolation

Cardiac coronary angiography is a major technology to assist doctors during cardiac interventional surgeries. Under the exposure of X-ray radiation, doctors inject contrast agents through catheters to determine the position and status of coronary vessels in real time. To get a coronary angiography video with a high frame rate, the doctor needs to increase the exposure frequency and intensity of the X-ray. This will inevitably increase the X-ray harm to both patients and surgeons. In this work, we innovatively utilize a deep-learning based video interpolation algorithm to interpolate coronary angiography videos. Moreover, we establish a new coronary angiography image dataset ,which contains 95,039 triplets images to retrain the video interpolation network model. Using the retrained network we synthesize high frame rate coronary angiography video from the low frame rate coronary angiography video. The average peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR) of those synthesized video frames reaches 34dB. Extensive experiment results demonstrate the feasibility of using the video frame interpolation algorithm to synthesize continuous and clear high frame rate coronary angiography video. With the help of this technology, doctors can significantly reduce exposure frequency and intensity of the X-ray during coronary angiography.

Coronary Artery Segmentation in Angiographic Videos Using A 3D-2D CE-Net

Coronary angiography is an indispensable assistive technique for cardiac interventional surgery. Segmentation and extraction of blood vessels from coronary angiography videos are very essential prerequisites for physicians to locate, assess and diagnose the plaques and stenosis in blood vessels. This article proposes a new video segmentation framework that can extract the clearest and most comprehensive coronary angiography images from a video sequence, thereby helping physicians to better observe the condition of blood vessels. This framework combines a 3D convolutional layer to extract spatial--temporal information from a video sequence and a 2D CE--Net to accomplish the segmentation task of an image sequence. The input is a few continuous frames of angiographic video, and the output is a mask of segmentation result. From the results of segmentation and extraction, we can get good segmentation results despite the poor quality of coronary angiography video sequences.

Weakly-supervised 3D coronary artery reconstruction from two-view angiographic images

The reconstruction of three-dimensional models of coronary arteries is of great significance for the localization, evaluation and diagnosis of stenosis and plaque in the arteries, as well as for the assisted navigation of interventional surgery. In the clinical practice, physicians use a few angles of coronary angiography to capture arterial images, so it is of great practical value to perform 3D reconstruction directly from coronary angiography images. However, this is a very difficult computer vision task due to the complex shape of coronary blood vessels, as well as the lack of data set and key point labeling. With the rise of deep learning, more and more work is being done to reconstruct 3D models of human organs from medical images using deep neural networks. We propose an adversarial and generative way to reconstruct three dimensional coronary artery models, from two different views of angiographic images of coronary arteries. With 3D fully supervised learning and 2D weakly supervised learning schemes, we obtained reconstruction accuracies that outperform state-of-art techniques.
