A university campus is a composite built environment integrating research, daily life, culture, and ecological green space. Its landscape elements shape environmental perception and overall spatial quality. This study assesses spatial quality by identifying key features and optimizing their joint effects across three perceptions: safety, comfort, and belonging. Using a Chinese campus, we captured street-view images, applied semantic segmentation to quantify elements (grass, trees, buildings, roads, sidewalks), and used explainable machine learning with data augmentation to identify the features most relevant to these perceptions. This study then employed fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to reveal configuration pathways that enhance spatial quality. Results show that data augmentation mitigates class imbalance and improves prediction accuracy. Key features include sky, river, bridge, people, grass, and sidewalks, and path analysis indicates that greater sky openness and higher densities of people, roads, sidewalks, and grass, together with fewer buildings, cars, and bare earth, enhance safety, comfort, and belonging. This study delivers globally transferable design rules and a replicable, policy-ready workflow that enables evidence-based campus upgrades across diverse regions. Full article

The dehesa, as a socio-ecological system and cultural landscape, is a strategic resource for environmental education, territorial sustainability, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. This study analyzes the perception of primary school students in Extremadura regarding this environment, using a mixed methodology that combines statistical, semantic, and spatial analysis. The results show a generally positive assessment of the dehesa heritage, although accompanied by a disconnect between this symbolic assessment and direct experience of the territory, especially in urban contexts. It identifies significant differences between students from rural and urban environments in terms of their knowledge of trades, products, and dehesa spaces, as well as their preferred activities in the dehesa. While rural students show greater interest in operational activities and direct contact with the environment (such as feeding livestock and milking), urban students lean toward sensory or symbolic experiences (such as consuming products or occasional harvesting), reflecting different ways of connecting with the territory. Spatial analysis reveals that more than 80% of schools are located less than 5 km from well-preserved dehesa areas, which represents an opportunity to integrate these landscapes into formal education. However, inequalities in access from special education centers have been detected, posing challenges in terms of territorial and educational equity. This study concludes that the dehesa should be recognized as an open classroom, capable of fostering roots, ecological literacy, and cultural sustainability through contextualized and territory-sensitive pedagogical approaches.

Amid rapid urbanization, Chinese cities face mounting ecological pressure, making it critical to balance environmental protection with public well-being. As visual perception accounts for over 80% of environmental information acquisition, it plays a key role in shaping experiences and evaluations of ecological space. However, current ecological planning often overlooks public perception, leading to increasing mismatches between ecological conditions and spatial experiences. While previous studies have attempted to introduce public perspectives, a systematic framework for analyzing the spatial relationship between ecological and visual sensitivity remains lacking. This study takes 56,210 street-level points in Tianjin’s central urban area to construct a coordinated analysis framework of ecological and perceptual sensitivity. Visual sensitivity is derived from social media sentiment analysis (via GPT-4o) and street-view image semantic features extracted using the ADE20K semantic segmentation model, and subsequently processed through a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model. Ecological sensitivity is calculated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)—based model integrating elevation, slope, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land use, and nighttime light data. A coupling coordination model and bivariate Moran’s I are employed to examine spatial synergy and mismatches between the two dimensions. Results indicate that while 72.82% of points show good coupling, spatial mismatches are widespread. The dominant types include “HL” (high visual–low ecological) areas (e.g., Wudadao) with high visual attention but low ecological resilience, and “LH” (low visual–high ecological) areas (e.g., Huaiyuanli) with strong ecological value but low public perception. This study provides a systematic path for analyzing the spatial divergence between ecological and perceptual sensitivity, offering insights into ecological landscape optimization and perception-driven street design.

System call telemetry is essential for understanding runtime behavior in cloud-native infrastructures, but existing eBPF-based monitors suffer from high per-event overhead, unreliable delivery under load, and limited context for correlating multi-step activities. These issues reduce scalability, create blind spots in telemetry streams, and complicate the analysis of complex workload behaviors. This work presents Aquila, a lightweight telemetry framework that emphasizes efficiency, reliability, and semantic fidelity. Aquila employs a dual-path kernel pipeline that separates fixed-size metadata from variable-length attributes, reducing serialization costs and enabling high-throughput event processing. It introduces priority-aware buffering and explicit drop detection to retain loss-sensitive events while providing visibility into overload conditions. In the user space, kernel traces are enriched with Kubernetes metadata, mapping low-level system calls to pods, containers, and namespaces. Evaluation under representative workloads shows that Aquila improves scalability, reduces event loss, and enhances the semantic completeness of system call telemetry compared with existing approaches.

The knowledge graph link prediction task currently faces challenges such as insufficient semantic fusion of structured knowledge and unstructured text, limited representation learning of long-tailed entities, and insufficient interpretability of the reasoning process. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a multi-chain fusion reasoning framework to realize accurate link prediction. First, a dual retrieval mechanism based on semantic similarity metrics and embedded feature matching is designed to construct a high-confidence candidate entity set; second, entity-attribute chains, entity-relationship chains, and historical context chains are established by integrating context information from external knowledge bases to generate a candidate entity set. Finally, a self-consistency scoring method fusing type constraints and semantic space alignment is proposed to realize the joint validation of structural rationality and semantic relevance of candidate entities. Experiments on two public datasets show that the method in this paper fully utilizes the ability of multi-chain reasoning and significantly improves the accuracy of knowledge graph link prediction.

Ports serve as key nodes in eco-friendly and digital logistics networks, and the volume of cargo handled continues to increase in response to growing international trade. However, the increased workload within limited spaces heightens the risk of safety accidents, and the number of casualties in port stevedoring operations has continued to rise. As the era of transition toward eco-friendly and digital paradigms unfolds, the adoption of new technologies in ports presents a strategic opportunity to enhance safety management. As of 13 May 2025, the study conducted a text-mining analysis based on research abstracts related to the keyword “New technology and port safety,” in the context of internal and external environmental changes. Specifically, a total of 639 research abstracts were collected, but 138 abstracts, which were unrelated to port safety, were excluded, and 501 abstracts from the Clarivate Web of Science database were analyzed, focusing on 2676 words that appeared at least twice. The study applied Term Frequency (TF) analysis, TF–Inverse Document Frequency analysis, Semantic Network Analysis, and Topic Modeling. The results indicate that Internet of Things emerged as a core solution for strengthening port safety management. However, challenges remain, including the prevention of security breaches, high infrastructure implementation costs, and limitations in battery life. Full article

Aiming at the problems of high complexity in source domain data, inaccessibility of target domain data, and unknown fault patterns in real-world industrial scenarios for mechanical fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a Feature Decomposition-based Source-Free Universal Domain Adaptation (FD-SFUniDA) framework for mechanical equipment fault diagnosis. First, the CBAM attention module is incorporated to enhance the ResNet-50 convolutional network for extracting feature information from source domain data. During the target domain adaptation phase, singular value decomposition is applied to the weights of the pre-trained model’s classification layer, orthogonally decoupling the feature space into a source-known subspace and a target-private subspace. Then, based on the magnitude of feature projections, a dynamic decision boundary is constructed and combined with an entropy threshold mechanism to accurately distinguish between known and unknown class samples. Furthermore, intra-class feature consistency is strengthened through neighborhood-expanded contrastive learning, and semantic weight calibration is employed to reconstruct the feature space, thereby suppressing the negative transfer effect. Finally, extensive experiments under multiple operating conditions on rolling bearing and reciprocating mechanism datasets demonstrate that the proposed method excels in addressing source-free fault diagnosis problems for mechanical equipment and shows promising potential for practical engineering applications in fault classification tasks.

With the rise of embodied agents and indoor service robots, object detection has become a critical component supporting semantic mapping, path planning, and human–robot interaction. However, indoor scenes often face challenges such as severe occlusion, large-scale variations, small and densely packed objects, and complex textures, making existing methods struggle in terms of both robustness and accuracy. This paper proposes MDF-YOLO, a multi-domain fusion detection framework based on Hölder regularity guidance. In the backbone, neck, and feature recovery stages, the framework introduces the CrossGrid Memory Block, Hölder-Based Regularity Guidance–Hierarchical Context Aggregation module, and Frequency-Guided Residual Block, achieving complementary feature modeling across the state space, spatial domain, and frequency domain. In particular, the HG-HCA module uses the Hölder regularity map as a guiding signal to balance the dynamic equilibrium between the macro and micro paths, thus achieving adaptive coordination between global consistency and local discriminability. Experimental results show that MDF-YOLO significantly outperforms mainstream detectors in metrics such as mAP@0.5, mAP@0.75, and mAP@0.5:0.95, achieving values of 0.7158, 0.6117, and 0.5814, respectively, while maintaining near real-time inference efficiency in terms of FPS and latency. Ablation studies further validate the independent and synergistic contributions of CGMB, HG-HCA, and FGRB in improving small-object detection, occlusion handling, and cross-scale robustness. This study demonstrates the potential of Hölder regularity and multi-domain fusion modeling in object detection, offering new insights for efficient visual modeling in complex indoor environments.

Cultural heritage museums, as integral components of the urban built environment and public cultural space, not only preserve historical memory but also subtly shape visitors’ psychological experiences and well-being. Yet the mechanisms linking museum environmental quality with visitor mental experiences remain insufficiently explored. Drawing on 10,684 visitor reviews collected from Dianping, Weibo, and Ctrip, this study applies text mining and semantic analysis to construct an evaluation framework of visitor behavioral preferences and psychological experiences in heritage museums. The findings show that attention to spatial remains, historical artifacts, and cultural symbols is closely associated with positive emotions such as mystery, awe, and beauty, while adverse environmental conditions such as queuing and crowding often trigger negative feelings including fatigue, disappointment, and boredom. Further analysis reveals a clear pathway linking objects, behaviors, and experiences: spatial remains evoke psychological resonance through immersive perceptions of authenticity; artifacts are primarily linked to visual pleasure and emotional comfort; and cultural symbols are transformed into cognitive gains and spiritual meaning through interpretation and learning. Cross-regional comparison highlights significant differences among museums with distinct cultural backgrounds in terms of architectural aesthetics, educational value, and emotional resonance. This study not only offers a practical framework for the refined management and spatial optimization of heritage museums, but also demonstrates that high-quality cultural environments can promote mental health and emotional restoration. The results extend the interdisciplinary framework of museum research and provide empirical evidence for environmental improvement and public health promotion in cultural heritage spaces in the digital era.

Rotating machinery is a core component of modern industry, and its operational state directly affects system safety and reliability. In order to achieve intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings under complex working conditions, the health management of bearings has become an important issue. Although deep learning has shown remarkable advantages, its performance still relies on the assumption that the training and testing data share the same distribution, which often deteriorates in real applications due to variations in load and rotational speed. This study focused on the scenario of domain generalization (DG) and proposed a Meta-Learning with Gradient Alignment and Data Augmentation (MGADA) method for cross-domain bearing fault diagnosis. Within the meta-learning framework, Mixup-based data augmentation was performed on the support set in the inner loop to alleviate overfitting under small-sample conditions and enhanced task-level data diversity. In the outer loop optimization stage, an arithmetic gradient alignment constraint was introduced to ensure consistent update directions across different source domains, thereby reducing cross-domain optimization conflicts. Meanwhile, a centroid convergence constraint was incorporated to enforce samples of the same class from different domains to converge to a shared centroid in the feature space, thus enhancing intra-class compactness and semantic consistency. Cross-working-condition experiments conducted on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high classification accuracy across different target domains, with an average accuracy of 98.89%. Furthermore, ablation studies confirm the necessity of each module (Mixup, gradient alignment, and centroid convergence), while t-SNE and confusion matrix visualizations further illustrate that the proposed approach effectively achieves cross-domain feature alignment and intra-class aggregation. The proposed method provides an efficient and robust solution for bearing fault diagnosis under complex working conditions and offers new insights and theoretical references for promoting domain generalization in practical industrial applications.

Multi-modal knowledge graph completion (MMKGC) aims to complete knowledge graphs by integrating structural information with multi-modal (e.g., visual, textual, and numerical) features and leveraging cross-modal reasoning within a unified semantic space to infer and supplement missing factual knowledge. Current MMKGC methods have advanced in terms of integrating multi-modal information but have overlooked the imbalance in modality importance for target entities. Treating all modalities equally dilutes critical semantics and amplifies irrelevant information, which in turn limits the semantic understanding and predictive performance of the model. To address these limitations, we proposed a modality information aggregation graph attention network with adversarial training for multi-modal knowledge graph completion (MIAGAT-AT). MIAGAT-AT focuses on hierarchically modeling complex cross-modal interactions. By combining the multi-head attention mechanism with modality-specific projection methods, it precisely captures global semantic dependencies and dynamically adjusts the weight of modality embeddings according to the importance of each modality, thereby optimizing cross-modal information fusion capabilities. Moreover, through the use of random noise and multi-layer residual blocks, the adversarial training generates high-quality multi-modal feature representations, thereby effectively enhancing information from imbalanced modalities. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms 18 existing baselines and establishes a strong performance baseline across three distinct datasets. Full article

The perception of 3D space by mobile robots is rapidly moving from flat metric grid representations to hybrid metric-semantic graphs built from human-interpretable concepts. While most approaches first build metric maps and then add semantic layers, we explore an alternative, concept-first architecture in which spatial understanding emerges from asynchronous concept agents that directly instantiate and manage semantic entities. Our robot employs two spatial concepts—room and door—implemented as autonomous processes within a cognitive distributed architecture. These concept agents cooperatively build a shared scene graph representation of indoor layouts through active exploration and incremental validation. The key architectural principle is hierarchical constraint propagation: Room instantiation provides geometric and semantic priors to guide and support door detection within wall boundaries. The resulting structure is maintained by a complementary functional principle based on prediction-matching loops. This approach is designed to yield an actionable, human-interpretable spatial representation without relying on any pre-existing global metric map, supporting scalable operation and persistent, task-relevant understanding in structured indoor environments.

Training-free video summarization tackles the challenge of selecting the most informative keyframes from a video without relying on costly training or complex deep models. This work introduces C2FVS-DPP (Contextual Feature Fusion Video Summarization with Determinantal Point Process), a lightweight framework that generates concise video summaries by jointly modeling semantic importance, visual diversity, temporal structure, and symmetry. The design centers on a symmetry-aware fusion strategy, where appearance, motion, and semantic cues are aligned in a unified embedding space, and on a reward-guided optimization logic that balances representativeness and diversity. Specifically, appearance features from ResNet-50, motion cues from optical flow, and semantic representations from BERT-encoded BLIP captions are fused into a contextual embedding. A Transformer encoder assigns importance scores, followed by shot boundary detection and K-Medoids clustering to identify candidate keyframes. These candidates are refined through a reward-based re-ranking mechanism that integrates semantic relevance, representativeness, and visual uniqueness, while a Determinantal Point Process (DPP) enforces globally diverse selection under a keyframe budget. To enable reliable evaluation, enhanced versions of the SumMe and TVSum50 datasets were curated to reduce redundancy and increase semantic density. On these curated benchmarks, C2FVS-DPP achieves F1-scores of 0.22 and 0.43 and fidelity scores of 0.16 and 0.40 on SumMe and TVSum50, respectively, surpassing existing models on both metrics. In terms of compression ratio, the framework records 0.9959 on SumMe and 0.9940 on TVSum50, remaining highly competitive with the best-reported values of 0.9981 and 0.9983. These results highlight the strength of C2FVS-DPP as an inference-driven, symmetry-aware, and resource-efficient solution for video summarization. Full article

Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation (FSS) faces significant challenges in modeling complex backgrounds and maintaining prediction consistency due to limited training samples. Existing methods oversimplify backgrounds as single negative classes and rely solely on pixel-level alignments. To address these issues, we propose a symmetry-aware superpixel-enhanced FSS framework with a symmetric dual-branch architecture that explicitly models the superpixel region-graph in both the support and query branches. First, top–down cross-layer fusion injects low-level edge and texture cues into high-level semantics to build a more complete representation of complex backgrounds, improving foreground–background separability and boundary quality. Second, images are partitioned into superpixels and aggregated into “superpixel tokens” to construct a Region Adjacency Graph (RAG). Support-set prototypes are used to initialize query-pixel predictions, which are then projected into the superpixel space for cross-image prototype alignment with support superpixels. We further perform message passing/energy minimization on the RAG to enhance intra-region consistency and boundary adherence, and finally back-project the predictions to the pixel space. Lastly, by aggregating homogeneous semantic information, we construct robust foreground and background prototype representations, enhancing the model’s ability to perceive both seen and novel targets. Extensive experiments on the PASCAL-5i and COCO-20i benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed model achieves superior segmentation performance over the baseline and remains competitive with existing FSS methods.

Accurate quality assessment of solar Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) remote sensing imagery is critical for data reliability in space science and weather forecasting. This study introduces a hybrid framework that fuses deep semantic features from a HyperNet-based model with 22 handcrafted physical and statistical quality indicators to create a robust 24-dimensional feature vector. We used a dataset of top-quality images, i.e., quality class “Excellent”, and generated a dataset of 47,950 degraded, lower-quality images by simulating seven types of degradation including defocus, blur and noise. Experimental results show that an XGBoost classifier, when trained on these fused features, achieved superior performance with 97.91% accuracy and an AUC of 0.9992. This approach demonstrates that combining deep and handcrafted features significantly enhances the classification’s robustness and offers a scalable solution for automated quality control in solar EUV observation pipelines.
