Stock prediction requires the joint modeling of temporal dynamics and cross-stock dependence. Existing graph-based and hypergraph-based forecasting methods often process spatial relation modeling and temporal evolution in separate stages, which may weaken the interaction between relational information and recurrent state updating. This study proposes a Recurrent Spatiotemporal Hypergraph Attention Gated Recurrent Unit model for stock forecasting, in which hypergraph-based higher order dependence and temporal dynamics are integrated within each recurrent update. The hypergraph is constructed offline from heterogeneous financial features through Tucker decomposition, similarity estimation, and Top-K sparsification, and is then used as a structured relational prior during forecasting. Experiments on CSI 300 constituent stocks from January 2014 to October 2024 show that RST-HGA-GRU achieves the best overall performance across multiple evaluation metrics and forecasting horizons from 1 to 6 days. Ablation, sensitivity, back testing, and multi-horizon Diebold–Mariano tests further support the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework. These results demonstrate that recurrent spatiotemporal fusion with hypergraph-based higher-order relation modeling is effective for stock price forecasting. Full article

Water quality classification is essential for freshwater ecosystem protection but faces challenges posed by spatiotemporal dependencies and class imbalance. To address these issues, this paper proposes the Adaptive Graph Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Network (AGConvLSTM), which integrates adaptive graph convolution into the LSTM gating mechanism to explicitly capture spatiotemporal dependencies. As complementary components, station-wise Principal Component Analysis (PCA) preserves spatial heterogeneity in feature structures, while DTW-SMOTE with adaptive sampling and dynamic denoising mitigates class imbalance. Evaluated on five-year water quality data from 13 stations in the Taihu Basin, China, AGConvLSTM achieves a test accuracy of 69.34% and an F1 score of 69.68%, outperforming baseline models. Station-wise accuracy ranges from 49.12% to 88.48%, reflecting spatial heterogeneity. These results suggest that spatiotemporal fusion within recurrent units provides an effective pathway for multi-station water quality classification and offers practical value for watershed early warning systems.

Wearable sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) has gained growing significance in healthcare monitoring and assisted living systems. Although considerable advances have been made in classifying dynamic movements, stationary activities—such as sleeping, driving, and watching TV—remain difficult to distinguish owing to their weak sensor signatures and limited discriminative cues. This paper presents the multi-scale hybrid attention temporal network (MHAT-Net), a deep learning framework whose key architectural novelty lies in the parallel (non-sequential) dual-pathway temporal modeling: a BiGRU branch and a transformer encoder branch operate simultaneously on the same spatially encoded representation, combined via a learnable attention-based fusion module. This design targets the underexplored problem of distinguishing stationary activities from weak inertial sensor signatures. The architecture is built upon three integrated components: (1) a multi-branch CNN with kernel sizes three, five, and seven combined with channel attention for adaptive spatial feature extraction across multiple temporal scales; (2) parallel bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and transformer encoder pathways for jointly capturing short-range sequential patterns and long-range temporal correlations; and (3) an attention-driven fusion module that adaptively weights the outputs of both temporal branches. The model was assessed on a publicly available benchmark comprising three motionless activity categories collected from 25 participants via smartphone sensors. In 5-fold cross-validation, MHAT-Net attained 97.42% (±4.69%) accuracy with accelerometer data and 92.31% (±0.31%) with gyroscope data, substantially exceeding the accuracies of five baseline architectures: CNN, LSTM, BiLSTM, GRU, and BiGRU. Ablation experiments identified multi-scale spatial feature extraction as the most influential module (2.21–2.47% contribution), followed by the hybrid temporal modeling components. Cross-modality analysis confirmed that accelerometer signals yielded richer discriminative content for stationary activities, while MHAT-Net sustained consistent performance across both sensor types. The proposed integration of multi-scale spatial encoding, hybrid temporal modeling, and multi-level attention gives MHAT-Net the ability to reliably detect subtle activity-specific patterns, establishing a new benchmark in wearable sensor-based recognition for comprehensive daily behavior monitoring.

Accurate forecasting of water demand enables optimized peak-load management, alleviating pressure during high-demand periods and improving the operational efficiency of urban secondary water supply systems—a critical component in the energy-efficient and sustainable operation of buildings. However, existing water demand prediction methods in some regions suffer from low accuracy and excessively long prediction cycles, posing challenges for real-time water scheduling in building-scale systems. To address these challenges, this study develops a hybrid predictive framework that integrates a BP neural network with the Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for enhanced parameter optimization. Using hourly water consumption data from a representative residential district, the proposed model is compared against standalone machine learning models—Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Model performance is rigorously evaluated using the coefficient of determination, mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE). The PSO-GWO-BP hybrid model achieves a predictive accuracy of 97.06%, yielding the lowest MAE, MSE, RMSE, and MAPE, as well as the highest R among all models considered, thereby significantly outperforming the benchmark standalone models. Furthermore, the high-precision short-term prediction outputs enable dynamic regulation of secondary water tank refill thresholds, facilitating refined water allocation and enhanced operational management of building water supply systems. These findings demonstrate the considerable application potential of the proposed hybrid model in enhancing both water resource efficiency and energy utilization performance in the daily operation of green buildings, providing reliable technical support for intelligent and low-carbon building water supply management.

Conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms, such as Perturb and Observe (P&O), suffer from steady-state oscillations and slow convergence under rapidly varying environmental conditions, leading to suboptimal energy extraction and unnecessary switching activity. To address these limitations, we propose a predictive control strategy in which the DC–DC converter control signal is adaptively updated only when significant deviations are detected between measured and model-predicted voltage and current values. The approach leverages power-of-two quantized Artificial Neural Networks ($2^{Q}ANNs$), enabling highly accurate inference with extreme weight quantization (2–3 bits) while remaining suitable for MPPT. A dataset-driven evaluation using year-long climatic records from geographically distinct locations indicates annual energy yields of up to 99.90% of the ideal maximum under the adopted modeling assumptions. Under the adopted fixed-condition evaluation protocol, compared with conventional P&O implementations, the proposed method requires 20–40× fewer internal control updates to approach the same efficiency region. Additionally, a robustness experiment with perturbed voltage and current measurements further shows that the recurrent $2^{Q}ANN$ controllers remain above 98% aggregated efficiency even under the strongest tested sensing-noise condition, without retraining. Finally, post-place-and-route FPGA implementation estimates on a highly resource-constrained device indicate that the resulting architecture supports low-resource edge-oriented implementation.

Water distribution systems are critical infrastructures, and are highly susceptible to a wide range of anomalies like leaks and component failures. Hence, timely detection of abnormal system behavior is essential for their safe and efficient operation. To address this challenge, we generated synthetic hydraulic datasets to train a machine learning tool, tailored for anomaly detection and classification tasks. The proposed architecture integrated bidirectional gated recurrent unit layers with time-distributed dense layers employing Rectified Linear Unit activations, enabling the extraction of temporal dependencies alongside spatial feature representations. The strong performance achieved highlights the robustness of the approach in distinguishing between normal operating states and heterogeneous anomaly classes, demonstrating its potential for enhancing system reliability.

With the rapid growth of the global shipping industry and the increasing availability of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, accurate vessel trajectory prediction has become crucial for ensuring navigational safety and optimizing maritime traffic management. This paper presents a systematic review of recent advances in deep learning-based methods for vessel trajectory prediction. We provide a comprehensive analysis of mainstream models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks, Sequence-to-Sequence (Seq2Seq) models, and the Transformer architecture. Their performance is compared in terms of spatio-temporal data processing capability, prediction accuracy, and computational efficiency. Furthermore, this review examines practical applications of these methods in scenarios such as collision avoidance and route optimization. Despite notable progress, several challenges remain, including data quality issues, real-time prediction capability, and model interpretability. Future research directions may focus on multi-source data fusion and the development of lightweight model designs to further improve prediction performance. This survey aims to serve as a valuable reference for researchers and contribute to ongoing innovation in vessel trajectory prediction technology. Full article

In the current energy context, enhancing the precision of wind power prediction serves as a key enabler for the stable development of the power grid. In the existing wind power prediction models, there are often problems of modal aliasing and noise residue, or the prediction accuracy of the model is not high. In an effort to solve the problem of short-term wind power forecasting, a wind power series decomposition and reconstruction method based on improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise-variational modal decomposition (ICEEMDAN-VMD) secondary decomposition is proposed. Using ICEEMDAN, wind power data (wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.) is decomposed into several IMF sub-series, and these IMF sub-series are categorized into three different frequency components by combining sample entropy, Q statistics and sequence frequency. Secondly, the gray wolf optimization (GWO) is improved by using the empirical exchange strategy (EES), and the optimization performance of the EES-GWO proposed in this paper is verified by using 10 test functions. Finally, the EES-GWO-convolutional neural network–bidirectional gated recurrent unit–global attention (EES-GWO-CNN-BiGRU–Global attention) high-frequency component prediction model is constructed. Finally, we employ the XGBoost model to forecast the mid- and low-frequency components, thereby generating the corresponding forecasting results. The support vector machine (SVM) model nonlinearly integrates all the forecasting results to produce the final forecasting results. Through example analysis and comparison, the performance of the proposed model is verified from two perspectives. Full article

Accurate prediction of structural dynamic responses is critical for seismic analysis and decision-making throughout the structural life cycle. While model-driven and data-driven approaches have advanced practice, reliable prediction under limited data remains challenging due to the high cost of acquisition and simulation. This study proposes a Self-Attention-Enhanced Physics-Informed Gated Recurrent Unit network, SA-PhyGRU, for efficient and accurate seismic response prediction. The proposed network integrates GRU dynamics with a self-attention mechanism to capture long-range temporal dependencies and improve computational efficiency, while embedding physical constraints to enhance fidelity and generalization. Numerical and experimental validations on a three-story frame and a California hotel building show that SA-PhyGRU consistently outperforms conventional baselines in both accuracy and runtime, achieving improvements of up to 11.6% in $R^2,$ with pronounced gains in small-sample regimes. These results highlight SA-PhyGRU as an effective and generalizable approach for structural seismic response prediction and performance evaluation. Full article

Host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDSs) can address the limitations of network-based detection by analyzing system calls and other low-level events. Many existing benchmark datasets remain inadequate for evaluating modern attacks because they were built in outdated environments and cover only a limited set of attack behaviors. To address this gap, this study builds a TextRank-based preprocessing pipeline on the LID-DS 2021 dataset and compares five end-to-end pipelines: Random Forest (RF), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) + LSTM, LSTM, Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and CNN + Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU). Of the 15 scenarios in the dataset, six multi-stage attacks were excluded, and three representative scenarios were selected based on attack-category coverage and suitability for single-chunk host-level detection. Within these three selected scenarios and same-scenario file-level splits, the deep learning pipelines achieved F1-scores of 0.90–0.94, whereas RF ranged from 0.55 to 0.63. Among the evaluated pipelines, CNN + BiGRU produced the strongest overall results. These findings indicate that, under this constrained evaluation setting, sequential deep learning pipelines can be effective for scenario-specific system-call-based HIDS; however, broader generalization to unseen attacks or to the full LID-DS 2021 scenario set remains unverified.

Accurate solar radiation estimation is critical for optimizing solar energy applications. This study divided 819 meteorological stations in China into six solar radiation zones using k-means, hierarchical, and bisecting k-means clustering based on daily relative sunshine duration. Correlation analysis and feature importance evaluation were conducted to quantify the contributions of key meteorological variables. A comparison of models considering regional heterogeneity was performed. Six sunshine-based empirical models, three machine learning models (Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Extreme Gradient Boosting), and two deep learning models (Long Short-Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Unit) were systematically evaluated across 98 stations with observed solar radiation data. Model performance was assessed using the coefficient of determination (R²), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and normalized RMSE (NRMSE). Results showed that k-means clustering outperformed the other two methods and was adopted for final zoning. The correlation analysis identified sunshine duration (S), extraterrestrial radiation (R_a), temperature difference (ΔT), and maximum temperature (T_max) as the dominant influencing factors, with clear regional heterogeneity. The deep learning models, particularly LSTM (R² = 0.939, RMSE = 1.702 MJ/m/²/d¹, MAE = 1.319 MJ/m/²/d¹, NRMSE = 0.046), achieved the highest accuracy, followed by GRU, XGB, SVM, and RF. Among the empirical models, Model 5 performed best in Zones 1, 3, 4, and 5, while Model 6 was optimal in Zones 2 and 6. The key novelty of the study is an integrated zoning–prediction framework for regional solar radiation estimation, combining clustering validation, correlation analysis, empirical model calibration, and deep learning benchmarking, with enhanced physical interpretability and prediction accuracy.

Monolithic zirconia restorations are frequently affected by the unnoticed growth of subcritical cracks, a failure process that is not captured by traditional imaging methods like radiographs and ultrasounds in sophisticated dental architectures. To address this evaluative inadequacy, this research introduces a hierarchical deep learning framework for microcrack detection and spatial localization. We promote a hierarchical deep learning system that integrates Acoustic Emission (AE) detection alongside signal processing. Raw AE signals utilized during dynamic loading are enhanced via Kalman filtering and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to construct high-fidelity time–frequency scalograms. The diagnostic pipeline operates in two stages: first, a hybrid CNN–BiGRU network with temporal attention fulfills zirconia component-level classification; second, a ResNet-18 backbone integrated with Bidirectional LSTM and Multi-Head Attention precisely localizes defects across five anatomical crown regions. This hierarchical design effectively captures the non-stationary, transient nature of fracture-induced stress waves. The framework achieved an F1-score of 99.00% and an AUC of 0.994, significantly outperforming conventional convolutional networks. By enabling predictive maintenance through early, non-invasive damage localization, this study demonstrates a promising laboratory framework for AE-based crack detection in zirconia dental structures and prosthetics and toward enhanced clinical reliability in digital dentistry.

Owing to the intricate mechanical coupling characteristics and the considerable difficulty in extracting synergistic spatio-temporal features from high-dimensional sensor data under fluctuating alternating loads, this study proposes a robust anomaly detection framework that combines Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) and Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Networks (STGNN). First, NMI is utilized to quantify the nonlinear physical coupling intensity among multi-source sensors, thereby filtering out weakly correlated noise and reconstructing the spatial topological structure of the coupler system. Subsequently, a deep learning architecture incorporating Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and one-dimensional convolutional residual connections is developed to capture the dynamic evolutionary characteristics of equipment states across both spatial interactions and temporal sequences. Finally, based on the model’s health-state predictions, a moving average algorithm is introduced to smooth the residual sequences, and an anomaly early-warning baseline is established in conjunction with the 3σ criterion. Experimental validation conducted using field service data from heavy-haul trains demonstrates that, compared to conventional serial CNN and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models, the proposed method exhibits superior fitting performance and robustness against noise, effectively reducing the false alarm rate within normal working intervals. In a real-world case study, the method successfully identified variations in spatial linkage features induced by local damage and triggered timely alerts. Notably, the spatial alarm nodes were highly consistent with the fatigue crack initiation sites identified through on-site magnetic particle inspection. This study provides a viable data-driven analytical framework for the condition monitoring and anomaly identification of critical load-bearing components in heavy-haul trains. Full article

Arid agricultural systems face increasing sustainability challenges due to water scarcity, climate variability, and structural resource constraints. Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely promoted as a key enabler of sustainable agriculture, empirical evidence on its long-term effects on agriculture-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in arid regions, remains limited. This study investigates the role of AI in supporting sustainable agricultural development in Saudi Arabia’s Ha’il region. Using annual data from 1995 to 2025, AI adoption—proxied by SDG9 indicators that reflect AI-enabling digital infrastructure and innovation readiness rather than observed on-farm AI deployment—is examined in relation to a composite Sustainable Agricultural Development Goals index (SADGH), which integrates SDG2 (food security), SDG6 (water management), SDG8 (economic performance), SDG12 (responsible production), SDG13 (climate action), and SDG15 (land sustainability). Econometric analysis based on a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) reveals a stable long-run relationship between AI adoption and agricultural sustainability, with approximately 32% of short-term disequilibrium corrected annually. In the short run, AI adoption is positively associated with food security, economic performance, and land sustainability, while water- and climate-related indicators adjust more gradually. Dynamic analyses suggest that AI-related shocks may generate cumulative effects over time. In addition, deep learning models using Long Short–Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architectures are applied within an exploratory framework to capture potential nonlinear dynamics and generate indicative forecasts. The GRU model shows lower prediction errors; however, results should be interpreted with caution, given the limited sample size. Overall, the findings suggest that AI may contribute to sustainable agricultural development in arid regions, while highlighting the need for further research based on larger datasets. Full article

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in safety-critical missions require effective anomaly detection methods to identify propulsion-system faults before they cause catastrophic failures. However, current vibration-based diagnostic models typically rely on datasets representing only discrete, isolated fault states, and do not capture the continuous structural degradation that occurs during real flight operations. To address this gap, this study proposes a severity-ordered vibration data augmentation framework for anomaly detection in rotary-wing UAV propulsion systems. Controlled experiments were conducted under healthy, tape-induced imbalance, scratch, and cut propeller conditions using stepped throttle excitation from 10% to 100% in 10% increments, with 40 s per level. A severity-ordered arrangement strategy based on throttle level and a robust peak-to-peak severity metric generated approximately 7.5 h of augmented vibration data per axis, representing a continuous degradation trajectory. Three-axis continuous wavelet transform (CWT) scalograms of size $48\times 96\times 3$ were used to train an unsupervised anomaly detection framework. Comparative experiments with Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, and LSTM–AE demonstrated that the proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)–Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU)–State-Space Model (SSM)–Autoencoder (AE) architecture achieved the best performance, reaching 0.9959 precision, 0.4428 recall, 0.6131 F1-score, and 0.9284 Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC). The ablation study further showed that incorporating temporal modeling and state-space dynamics improves detection robustness compared with CNN–AE and CNN–BiGRU–AE baselines. These results show that combining severity-ordered augmentation with deep temporal learning improves progressive propulsion anomaly detection in UAV vibration monitoring. This work introduces a methodology that connects rotor dynamics principles with deep learning, providing a continuous degradation manifold that improves early-stage detection and condition monitoring of UAV propulsion systems.
