Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Leveraging advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques to transform basic pixel information into high-quality visual content and multi-modal data is current research topic of significant interest. This process primarily involves the generation and processing of images, where machines can extract meaningful features from low-level pixel data and then utilize these features for more complex perception tasks. For example, using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), machines can not only generate realistic images but also create corresponding visual content based on textual descriptions. Furthermore, by integrating audio and text information, rich multi-modal datasets can be generated. This approach has significant applications across various fields, including computer vision, virtual reality, autonomous driving, and human–computer interaction. Such methods enhance the ability of machines to understand and generate information, providing new momentum for the development of intelligent systems.

High-quality data generation is crucial to the field of electronics, as it significantly enhances the quality and richness of visual content, enabling more immersive and interactive experiences. By integrating these high-quality machine-generated data, this research not only advances the development of multimedia applications but also significantly boosts the academic impact of this journal.

The goal of this Special Issue is to present the recent advances in machine learning/deep learning-based data generation techniques and their applications in intelligent systems. Authors are welcome to submit research papers, as well as literature reviews, related to image/video generation, and their applications in virtual reality and augmented reality, autonomous driving, film production, art and creative design, medical imaging, etc.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The top oil temperature of a transformer is a vital sign reflecting its operational condition. The accurate prediction of this parameter is essential for evaluating insulation performance and extending equipment lifespan. At present, the prediction of oil temperature is mainly based on single-feature prediction. However, it overlooks the influence of other features. This has a negative effect on the prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the training dataset is often made up of data from a single transformer. This leads to the poor generalization of the prediction. To tackle these challenges, this paper leverages large-scale data analysis and processing techniques, and presents a transformer top oil temperature prediction model that combines multiple models. The Convolutional Neural Network was applied in this method to extract spatial features from multiple input variables. Subsequently, a Long Short-Term Memory network was employed to capture dynamic patterns in the time series. Meanwhile, a Transformer encoder enhanced feature interaction and global perception. The spatial characteristics extracted by the CNN and the temporal characteristics extracted by LSTM were further integrated to create a more comprehensive representation. The established model was optimized using the Whale Optimization Algorithm to improve prediction accuracy. The results of the experiment indicate that the maximum RMSE and MAPE of this method on the summer and winter datasets were 0.5884 and 0.79%, respectively, demonstrating superior prediction accuracy. Compared with other models, the proposed model improved prediction performance by 13.74%, 36.66%, and 43.36%, respectively, indicating high generalization capability and accuracy. This provides theoretical support for condition monitoring and fault warning of power equipment. Full article
