Abstract:This study employed over 100 hours of high-altitude drone video data from eight intersections in Hohhot to generate a unique and extensive dataset encompassing high-density urban road intersections in China. This research has enhanced the YOLOUAV model to enable precise target recognition on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) datasets. An automated calibration algorithm is presented to create a functional dataset in high-density traffic flows, which saves human and material resources. This algorithm can capture up to 200 vehicles per frame while accurately tracking over 1 million road users, including cars, buses, and trucks. Moreover, the dataset has recorded over 50,000 complete lane changes. It is the largest publicly available road user trajectories in high-density urban intersections. Furthermore, this paper updates speed and acceleration algorithms based on UAV elevation and implements a UAV offset correction algorithm. A case study demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed methods, showing essential parameters to evaluate intersections and traffic conditions in traffic engineering. The model can track more than 200 vehicles of different types simultaneously in highly dense traffic on an urban intersection in Hohhot, generating heatmaps based on spatial-temporal traffic flow data and locating traffic conflicts by conducting lane change analysis and surrogate measures. With the diverse data and high accuracy of results, this study aims to advance research and development of UAVs in transportation significantly. The High-Density Intersection Dataset is available for download at https://github.com/Qpu523/High-density-Intersection-Dataset.
Abstract:Knowledge graph-based dialogue systems can narrow down knowledge candidates for generating informative and diverse responses with the use of prior information, e.g., triple attributes or graph paths. However, most current knowledge graph (KG) cover incomplete domain-specific knowledge. To overcome this drawback, we propose a knowledge graph based proactive dialogue generation model (KgDg) with three components, improved model-agnostic meta-learning algorithm (MAML), knowledge selection in knowledge triplets embedding, and knowledge aware proactive response generator. For knowledge triplets embedding and selection, we formulate it as a problem of sentence embedding to better capture semantic information. Our improved MAML algorithm is capable of learning general features from a limited number of knowledge graphs, which can also quickly adapt to dialogue generation with unseen knowledge triplets. Extensive experiments are conducted on a knowledge aware dialogue dataset (DuConv). The results show that KgDg adapts both fast and well to knowledge graph-based dialogue generation and outperforms state-of-the-art baseline.
