Knowledge representation is the basis of all artificial intelligence algorithms. It can represent human knowledge as a data structure that can be processed by machines. This paper shows the knowledge matrix representation, which can fundamentally simplify the operation process of the algorithm and improve the operation efficiency of the algorithm. Specifically, this paper first transforms 13 kinds of interval relationship representations in temporal reasoning into 5×5 matrix. On this basis, the calculation and propagation of temporal relations can be obtained through matrix calculation. Then, the relationship between production rules is transformed into a matrix and encoded into a calculation formula, which is a mathematical model of uncertain reasoning. Finally, the sample relationship is expressed as a matrix, and K values and K nearest neighbors can be obtained in one step calculation. It can model the lazy learning part of KNN classification, i.e., transform it into a mathematical model. In addition, this paper also looks forward to the future work of knowledge matrix representation, and points out that knowledge matrix representation needs to define different calculation methods for different applications.

Large-scale pre-trained language models based on deep neural networks have achieved great success in various natural language processing tasks, such as text classification, reading comprehension, machine translation, etc., and have been widely used in the industry. However, the interpretability of these models is generally poor, that is, it is difficult for us to understand the reasons why different model structures and pre-training methods are effective, and to explain the internal mechanism of the models making predictions, which brings difficulties to the generalization of artificial intelligence models because of the uncertainty and the uncontrollability. Therefore, it is crucial to design reasonable methods to explain the model, which can not only effectively explain the behavior of the model, but also guide researchers to better improve the model. This paper introduces various research statuses of the interpretability of large-scale pre-trained language models in recent years, reviews related methods, and analyzes the shortcomings of the existing methods and possible future research directions.

Video hash is a short digital sequence based on visual content extracted from video. In practical applications, the strategy of representing a video by its video hash can reduce storage cost of video and complexity of calculating video similarity. Video hash is widely used in many applications, such as copy detection, tampering forensics, video indexing, and video retrieval, etc. In recent years, there are many progresses on video hashing research. Researchers have designed and developed some techniques of hand-craft feature extraction and presented many video hashing algorithms. This paper classifies the hand-craft features based video hashing algorithms into two categories: spatial computation, and spatial-temporal computation. Moreover, the video hashing algorithms based on spatial computation are further divided into two sub-categories: frame-by-frame calculation and key frame calculation. The video hashing algorithms based on spatial-temporal computation are further divided into five sub-categories: orthogonal transform, statistical feature, visual feature point, data dimensionality reduction and other technique. In this paper, some typical algorithms of each category are first described, and their performances are then summarized. Next, the common-used metrics of hash similarity, performance evaluation indices and video datasets are introduced. Finally, the future trend of research is presented, including video hashing for tampering forensics, efficient video hashing based on deep learning, lightweight video hashing for mobile applications, and so on.

How to achieve efficient and targeted drug delivery is a current research hotspot. Ultrasound has the advantages of non-invasiveness, non-radiation, simple operation and low price. Clinical diagnosis uses the principles of reflection, refraction and diffraction of ultrasound. Attributed to its mechanical and thermal effects, ultrasound is also an efficient exogenous stimulation method for controlling drug release, which can improve the permeability of diseased tissues and cell membranes, and promote the uptake of drugs by cells. On this basis, the ultrasound mediated drug delivery has become an efficient and noninvasive delivery technology. The targeted and quantitative release of drugs can be realized by irradiating the tumor area with ultrasound, so as to increase the local drug concentration and thus improve the curative effect. Ultrasound combined with various carriers, such as ultrasonic microbubbles, liposomes and so on, has great clinical translation value in drug targeted delivery. This article will review ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery mechanism, ultrasound responsive carriers, the effect of ultrasound-enhanced drug delivery and its clinical application prospects.

Biological neuron is the basic unit for signal processing in the nervous system, and its complex anatomical structure and synaptic plasticity enable it’s self-adaption to external stimuli. As a result, its firing modes and pattern become rich and diverse. In different functional regions in brain, these neurons are clustered in networks and they are cooperated to encode all external stimuli. Neurons from different regions of the brain are communicated by triggering synchronous states in and between multi-layer networks, and then the body and organs are guided to behave suitable gaits. The collective electric activities are dependent on the local kinetics, connection links and biophysical properties of the coupling channels, topological types and physical effects as well. Researchers can start possible investigations by building reliable biophysical neuron models, enhancing the controllability of the coupling channels, exploring the energy properties when synchronization stability and pattern formation are regulated in the networks, clarifying the physical mechanism for noise driving, discovering the biophysical mechanism for frequency selection and wave filtering. And these findings can be helpful to recognize the mode response and prevent the occurrence of some neural diseases. This review aims to enhance the biophysical function of an isolated neuron, for example, a variety of electric components are incorporated into branch circuits of a generic nonlinear circuit for detecting and discerning the temperature, illumination, acoustic wave, external magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation, respectively, and different functional neural circuits are obtained. Furthermore, exchange and propagation of field energy in neuron, frequency selection in the auditory neuron and visual neuron, energy pumping and energy consumption in the coupling channel, field energy to Hamilton energy under scale transformation, field coupling synchronization to resonance synchronization, pattern selection and synchronization stability in neural network, are discussed and investigated for possible guidance. These systematic introduction and comments on the functional enhancement of neurons and dynamics in networks have potential guidance and help for further building intelligent functional neuron array and devices.

Citrus canker disease is one of the important diseases in citrus production. Microbial control has unique advantages in the prevention and control of citrus canker disease, which can not only reduce the occurrence of the disease, but also be safe and pollution-free to the environment. Based on the analysis of the literatures about microbiological control on this disease in the past 20 years, it was found that its microbial prevention still mainly focused on the screening and identification of biocontrol bacteria in the laboratory, in which the species from bacillus and the control effect of single bacterium had been mostly reported. The main application methods were live strains or bacterial agents. While the study of the mechanism and identification of antibacterial active substances are rarely reported. There is still great potential for the development of biocontrol fungi and phages. In a word, resources, action mechanism and field application of biocontrol microorganisms for the control of citrus canker disease need to be further studied.

Automatically generating a human-like description for a given image is one of the most important tasks in artificial intelligence. Most of the existing attention-based methods explore the mapping relationships between words in sentence and regions in image. However, the quality of generated captions can be reduced by such unpredictable matching manner which sometimes cause inharmonious alignments. To solve this problem, a new method which uses word attention to improve the correctness of visual attention when generating word-by-word sequential descriptions is proposed. The special word attention emphasizes word importance when focusing on different regions of the input image, and makes full use of the internal annotation knowledge to assist the calculation of visual attention. Furthermore, in order to reveal implied information that cannot be expressed straightforwardly by machines and generate more novel and natural captions, the external knowledge which is extracted from the knowledge graphs is injected to the encoder-decoder framework. Finally, The new method is validated on two available captioning benchmarks i.e. Microsoft COCO dataset and Flickr30k dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that this new approach can achieve a good performance and outperform many of the state-of-the-art approaches.

Based on the Lorenz system, a new six-dimensional hyperchaotic system with four positive Lyapunov exponents is found with only one hyperbolic equilibrium point by using coupling techniques and linear feedback control in this paper. Meanwhile, the system has three positive Lyapunov exponents for infinitely many equilibrium lines. The stability of the hyperbolic equilibrium point is analyzed by using Routh-Hurwitz criterion, and the existence of Hopf bifurcation is proved. Using computer simulation techniques such as phase diagram, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, Poincaré map, and bifurcation diagram, the complex dynamic evolution process of the six-dimensional hyperchaotic system from periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic to hyperchaotic is analyzed numerically.

Photocatalytic water splitting is an ideal way to utilize solar energy. In order to popularize photocatalytic water splitting on a large scale, the current problem to be solved is to prepare a low-cost photocatalyst without noble metals. An efficient and stable photocatalytic system based on CdS nanorods for photocatalytic water splitting was successfully constructed by combining P element doping with in-situ photodeposition of MoS2 cocatalyst. The prepared CdS/P/MoS2 system showed stronger photocatalytic activity and stability than the unmodified CdS. The photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of CdS/P/MoS2 in distilled water reached 692.9 μmol/(g·h), and its apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) at 420 nm was 0.31%.
