AbstractAdversarial noise attacks present a significant threat to quantum machine learning (QML) models, similar to their classical counterparts. This is especially true in the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era, where noise is unavoidable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the robustness of QML models before their deployment. To address this challenge, we introduce VeriQR, the first tool designed specifically for formally verifying and improving the robustness of QML models, to the best of our knowledge. This tool mimics real-world quantum hardware’s noisy impacts by incorporating random noise to formally validate a QML model’s robustness. VeriQR supports exact (sound and complete) algorithms for both local and global robustness verification. For enhanced efficiency, it implements an under-approximate (complete) algorithm and a tensor network-based algorithm to verify local and global robustness, respectively. As a formal verification tool, VeriQR can detect adversarial examples and utilize them for further analysis and to enhance the local robustness through adversarial training, as demonstrated by experiments on real-world quantum machine learning models. Moreover, it permits users to incorporate customized noise. Based on this feature, we assess VeriQR using various real-world examples, and experimental outcomes confirm that the addition of specific quantum noise can enhance the global robustness of QML models. These processes are made accessible through a user-friendly graphical interface provided by VeriQR, catering to general users without requiring a deep understanding of the counter-intuitive probabilistic nature of quantum computing.

Ultrasonic standing waves can be used to manipulate the position and control the movement of levitated objects through acoustic radiation forces. Within this context, the theory of the Gor'kov potential function and its acoustic contrast factor are revisited, considering the scenario of a harmonic disturbance to the standing wave and its influence on the levitated spherical object. This disturbance causes a levitated object—trapped within a standing, plane ultrasonic wave field in an ideal fluid—to undergo oscillations in sympathy with the resulting motion of the wave field. In this paper, we determine how the acoustic contrast factor depends on the properties of the object, the fluid and the external excitation, in combination. We show that positive, negative, and zero acoustic radiation forces can be achieved, causing the object to be pushed towards the nearest pressure or velocity node. We experimentally verify—through external excitation of an ultrasonic standing wave generator—that the disturbance vibration frequency and amplitude are transmitted to the object. The dependence on the external excitation amplitude and force reversal are novel features that can be employed in acoustic manipulation for non-contact dynamic characterization of small objects.

Explain-in-Plain-English (EiPE) questions are used by some researchers and educators to assess code reading skills. EiPE questions require students to briefly explain (in plain English) the purpose of a given piece of code, without restating what the code does line-by-line. The premise is that novices who can explain the purpose of a piece of code have higher code reading skills than those who can trace the code but cannot see its high-level purpose. However, using natural language in EiPE questions poses challenges. Students (especially those whose first language is not English) may struggle to convey their understanding of the code unambiguously. Also, grading responses written in natural language is time-consuming, requires the design of a rubric, and is difficult to automate. We propose a new code reading question type that addresses these issues with EiPE questions. Given a piece of code involving repetition (in the form of iteration or recursion), the student is asked to provide the output for a set of inputs, where the output for some of these inputs cannot be determined using code tracing alone and requires higher-level code comprehension. In empirical evaluations, using CS1 exams, think-aloud interviews with students, and interviews with instructors, we found that assessments of code reading skills using the new question type are highly consistent with the assessments using EiPE questions, yet are more reliable. These results put forward the proposed question type as another way to assess high-level code reading skills without the issues associated with expressing in natural language or grading responses expressed in natural language.

We present a method to automatically approximate a given surface with a small set of patches, each being a developable ruled surface featuring long-ruling lines. These construction primitives are attractive for their inherent ease of fabrication by cutting and folding inextensible materials and for their favo rable structural properties. Our algorithm strikes a good tradeoff between the simplicity of produced designs (in terms of the number and shapes of the patches) and approximation quality. To this end, it is guided by a smooth curvature-aligned cross-field. Compared to traditional methods, we rely on final discretization steps to ensure the developability of the ruled surfaces and produce a fabricable layout, bypassing the need to enforce that the strips are strictly developable in continuous settings (which requires difficulty in enforcing geometric conditions). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by producing several viable designs and using them to physically fabricate various physical objects.

Abstract Coastal areas are complex socio-environmental systems, yet most models focus on biophysical processes, with few addressing social systems or their interaction with biophysical dynamics. This paper introduces an agent-based model (ABM) simulating beach visitor spatial behaviour, considering factors like landscape design and its impact on visitor distribution. We analyse how service and facility placement affects areas with high and low visitation intensity. Tailored for Dutch beaches created by mega-nourishments like the Sand Motor, the model’s modular design allows adaptation to other coastal areas. Qualitative calibration and validation against field data ensured realistic predictions of daily visitor numbers and representation of areas of high and low visitation intensity across the beach. We analysed model sensitivity by varying visitor activities and pathway preference probabilities, finding that pathway probabilities significantly influence visitor choices. The model was also applied to assess the impact of adding an entrance with access to a restaurant and car parking on visitor numbers, affected areas, and impact intensity. Scenario analysis, combined with its application to two case studies with different landscape layouts, highlights the model’s versatility as a valuable tool for designing beaches to effectively explore and manage visitation intensity and its effects on ecological systems, such as vegetation.

ABSTRACTFounded in 1824, the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (ANYAS) is a distinguished international journal that embraces various scientific disciplines. In 2024, the journal marks its 200th anniversary. To honor this remarkable milestone, this article provides a thorough bibliometric analysis of the journal's publications. The aim is to identify the main trends in the journal, particularly over the past few decades. Bibliographic data have been gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases. The study also uses VOSviewer software to create and visualize bibliometric maps. This analysis reveals that researchers affiliated with American institutions are the most productive authors, surpassing their peers from other countries, with notable contributions also coming from France and Israel. The United States of America emerges as the leading nation in the total number of publications and citations, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. Additionally, an in‐depth examination of keywords and topics illustrates that ANYAS encompasses a diverse range of subjects, prominently featuring chemistry, hematology, and psychology research. This breadth of exploration underscores the journal's role as a significant platform for advancing scientific knowledge across multiple domains.

PurposeThis study examines identity theft as a significant and growing issue in Australia, not only due to its financial impact but also because of the emotional, psychological, and physical harm it causes, making it a public health concern. This study aims to analyse the results of the 2019 Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) survey to identify factors associated with an increased likelihood of identity theft victimisation.Design/methodology/approachThis study involved a detailed analysis of the 2019 AIC survey, which had 9,968 respondents from a sample of 10,000. The research focused on whether respondents had ever been victimised by identity theft and analysed various characteristics, including demographics (gender, age, Indigenous status, education), income, computer usage, and preventive technology use, as potential indicators of future victimisation. Univariate analyses (chi-squared test and two-sample t-test) were used to assess individual associations, whereas a multivariate analysis (logistic regression) identified significant predictors of victimisation.FindingsThe univariate analyses indicated that all sub-variables were individually associated with identity theft victimisation. However, the multivariate analysis revealed that only identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, having an income between $18,201 and $37,000, and using multiple preventive technologies were significant predictors of victimisation. The unexpected finding that increased preventive technology use correlates with a higher risk of victimisation contradicts the survey’s suggestion that victims adopt more careful behaviour post-victimisation....

With the explosive growth of online information, recommendation systems have become essential tools for alleviating information overload. In recent years, researchers have increasingly focused on centralized recommendation systems, capitalizing on the powerful computing capabilities of cloud servers and the rich historical data they store. However, the rapid development of edge computing and mobile devices in recent years has provided new alternatives for building recommendation systems. These alternatives offer advantages such as privacy protection and low-latency recommendations. To leverage the advantages of different computing nodes, including cloud servers, edge servers, and terminal devices, researchers have proposed recommendation systems that involve the collaboration of these nodes, known as distributed recommendation systems. This survey provides a systematic review of distributed recommendation systems. Specifically, we design a taxonomy for these systems from four perspectives and comprehensively summarize each study by category. In particular, we conduct a detailed analysis of the collaboration mechanisms of distributed recommendation systems. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions in this field.

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely applied in time series analysis. Yet, their utility in few-shot classification—a scenario with limited training data—remains unexplored. We aim to leverage the pre-trained knowledge in LLMs to overcome the data scarcity problem within multivariate time series. To this end, we propose LLMFew, an LLM-enhanced framework, to investigate the feasibility and capacity of LLMs for few-shot multivariate time series classification (MTSC). We first introduce a Patch-wise Temporal Convolution Encoder (PTCEnc) to align time series data with the textual embedding input of LLMs. Then, we fine-tune the pre-trained LLM decoder with Low-rank Adaptations (LoRA) to enable effective representation learning from time series data. Experimental results show our model consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by a large margin, achieving 125.2% and 50.2% improvement in classification accuracy on Handwriting and EthanolConcentration datasets, respectively. Our results also show LLM-based methods achieve comparable performance to traditional models across various datasets in few-shot MTSC, paving the way for applying LLMs in practical scenarios where labeled data are limited. Our code is available at https://github.com/junekchen/llm-fewshot-mtsc.

Abstract Narrative visualization integrates data visualization and narrative techniques to convey a compelling story. Narrative visualization is notoriously difficult to evaluate. One solution is heuristic evaluation, using a domain-specific set of heuristics. This paper validates a set of heuristics proposed specifically for evaluating narrative visualization. We conducted studies with experienced narrative visualization practitioners in both summative and formative settings. We found that the set of heuristics showed promise in a summative setting, where similar responses evidenced that the set of heuristics could provide reliable evaluation metrics. Furthermore, in a formative setting, implementing the set of heuristics was reported to be useful in the design process; however, due to their limited focus, we recommend that it be implemented in conjunction with other evaluation guidelines.

Root cause localization is the process of monitoring system behavior and analyzing fault patterns from behavioral data. It is applicable in software development, network operations, and cloud computing. However, with the advent of microservice architectures and cloud-native technologies, root cause localization becomes an arduous task. Frequent updates in systems result in large-scale data and complex dependencies. Traditional analysis methods relying on manual experience and predefined rules have limited data processing and cannot learn new fault patterns from historical knowledge. Artificial Intelligence techniques have emerged as powerful tools to leverage historical knowledge and are now widely used in root cause localization. In this article, we provide a structured overview and a qualitative analysis of root cause localization in microservice systems. To begin with, we review the literature in this area and abstract a workflow of root cause localization, including multimodal data collection, intelligent root cause analysis, and performance evaluation. In particular, we highlight the role played by Artificial Intelligence techniques. Finally, we discuss some open challenges and research directions and propose an end-to-end framework from a new perspective, providing insights for future works.

AbstractReal‐world data always exhibit an imbalanced and long‐tailed distribution, which leads to poor performance for neural network‐based classification. Existing methods mainly tackle this problem by reweighting the loss function or rebalancing the classifier. However, one crucial aspect overlooked by previous research studies is the imbalanced feature space problem caused by the imbalanced angle distribution. In this paper, the authors shed light on the significance of the angle distribution in achieving a balanced feature space, which is essential for improving model performance under long‐tailed distributions. Nevertheless, it is challenging to effectively balance both the classifier norms and angle distribution due to problems such as the low feature norm. To tackle these challenges, the authors first thoroughly analyse the classifier and feature space by decoupling the classification logits into three key components: classifier norm (i.e. the magnitude of the classifier vector), feature norm (i.e. the magnitude of the feature vector), and cosine similarity between the classifier vector and feature vector. In this way, the authors analyse the change of each component in the training process and reveal three critical problems that should be solved, that is, the imbalanced angle distribution, the lack of feature discrimination, and the low feature norm. Drawing from this analysis, the authors propose a novel loss function that incorporates hyperspherical uniformity, additive angular margin, and feature norm regularisation. Each component of the loss function addresses a specific problem and synergistically contributes to achieving a balanced classifier and feature space. The authors conduct extensive experiments on three popular benchmark datasets including CIFAR‐10/100‐LT, ImageNet‐LT, and iNaturalist 2018. The experimental results demonstrate that the authors’ loss function outperforms several previous state‐of‐th...

Abstract Objective. Effective smoothing of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals while maintaining the original signal’s features is important in EEG signal analysis and brain–computer interface. This paper proposes a novel EEG signal-smoothing algorithm and its potential application in cognitive conflict (CC) processing. Approach. Instead of being processed in the time domain, the input signal is visualized in increasing line width, the representation frame of which is converted into a binary image. An effective thinning algorithm is employed to obtain a unit-width skeleton as the smoothed signal. Main results. Experimental results on data fitting have verified the effectiveness of the proposed approach on different levels of signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio, especially on high noise levels (SNR ⩽ 5 dB), where our fitting error is only 86.4%–90.4% compared to that of its best counterpart. The potential application of the proposed algorithm in EEG-based CC processing is comprehensively evaluated in a classification and a visual inspection task. The employment of the proposed approach in pre-processing the input data has significantly boosted the F 1 score of state-of-the-art models by more than 1%. The robustness of our algorithm is also evaluated via a visual inspection task, where specific CC peaks, i.e. the prediction error negativity and error-related positive potential (Pe), can be easily observed at ...

Accurate risk assessment in international trade settlement has become increasingly critical as global financial transactions grow in scale and complexity. This study proposes a hybrid model-Genetic Algorithm-optimized Fuzzy Neural Network (GA-FNN)-to enhance bank risk identification within this context. The objective is to improve the classification of bank-related risks by integrating the adaptability of fuzzy logic with the global optimization capability of genetic algorithms. The GA is used to fine-tune the structure, membership functions, and parameters of the FNN to improve predictive performance. Experiments were conducted on three public datasets: Bank Marketing, Lending Club, and German Credit. Results show that GA-FNN achieves an average classification accuracy of approximately 90% across high, medium, and low risk levels, outperforming traditional methods such as logistic regression, SVM (Support Vector Machine), and other metaheuristics like PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and SA (Simulated Algorithm). These findings demonstrate the model's effectiveness and practical value in dynamic international trade scenarios, offering a reliable approach for enhanced bank credit risk evaluation.

Quantum error correction (QEC) is fundamental for suppressing noise in quantum hardware and enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this paper, we propose an efficient verification framework for QEC programs. We define an assertion logic and a program logic specifically crafted for QEC programs and establish a sound proof system. We then develop an efficient method for handling verification conditions (VCs) of QEC programs: for Pauli errors, the VCs are reduced to classical assertions that can be solved by SMT solvers, and for non-Pauli errors, we provide a heuristic algorithm. We formalize the proposed program logic in Coq proof assistant, making it a verified QEC verifier. Additionally, we implement an automated QEC verifier, Veri-QEC, for verifying various fault-tolerant scenarios. We demonstrate the efficiency and broad functionality of the framework by performing different verification tasks across various scenarios. Finally, we present a benchmark of 14 verified stabilizer codes.

Abstract The use of single-photon sources (SPSs) is central to numerous systems and devices proposed amidst a modern surge in quantum technology. However, manufacturing schemes remain imperfect, and single-photon emission purity must often be experimentally verified via interferometry. Such a process is typically slow and costly, which has motivated growing research into whether SPS quality can be more rapidly inferred from incomplete emission statistics. Hence, this study is a sequel to previous work that demonstrated significant uncertainty in the standard method of quality estimation, i.e. the least-squares fitting of a physically motivated function, and asks: can machine learning (ML) do better? The study leverages eight datasets obtained from measurements involving an exemplary quantum emitter, i.e. a single InGaAs/GaAs epitaxial quantum dot; these eight contexts predominantly vary in the intensity of the exciting laser. Specifically, via a form of ‘transfer learning’, five ML models, three linear and two ensemble-based, are trained on data from seven of the contexts and tested on the eighth. Validation metrics quickly reveal that even a linear regressor can outperform standard fitting when it is tested on the same contexts it was trained on, but the success of transfer learning is less assured, even though statistical analysis, made possible by data augmentation, suggests its superiority as an early estimator. Accordingly, the study concludes by discussing future strategies for grappling with the problem of SPS context dissimilarity, e.g. feature engineering and model adaptation.

ABSTRACTBiopharmaceutical products, particularly monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), have gained prominence in the pharmaceutical market due to their high specificity and efficacy. As these products are projected to constitute a substantial portion of global pharmaceutical sales, the application of machine learning models in mAb development and manufacturing is gaining momentum. This paper addresses the critical need for uncertainty quantification in machine learning predictions, particularly in scenarios with limited training data. Leveraging ensemble learning and Monte Carlo simulations, our proposed method generates additional input samples to enhance the robustness of the model in small training datasets. We evaluate the efficacy of our approach through two case studies: predicting antibody concentrations in advance and real‐time monitoring of glucose concentrations during bioreactor runs using Raman spectra data. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in estimating the uncertainty levels associated with process performance predictions and facilitating real‐time decision‐making in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This contribution not only introduces a novel approach for uncertainty quantification but also provides insights into overcoming challenges posed by small training datasets in bioprocess development. The evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of our method in addressing key challenges related to uncertainty estimation within upstream cell cultivation, illustrating its potential impact on enhancing process control and product quality in the dynamic field of biopharmaceuticals.

ABSTRACTAround the world, transport organizations are transitioning their bus fleets from internal combustion engines to electrified zero emission buses (ZEBs). The quiet nature of these buses raises safety concerns for vulnerable road users. To address these concerns, new standards mandate that electric vehicles, including ZEBs, be equipped with an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) emitting sound at low speeds, to make vehicles more detectable. However, developing an effective AVAS sound requires balancing safety and technical constraints with diverse stakeholder needs. Using codesign, this study conducted a series of risk‐focused subject matter expertize workshops (n = 15), and a large user‐experience focused participatory design workshop (n = 41) to inform the AVAS sound design. The latter included empathy and user journey mapping techniques, facilitating the collection of insights from various perspectives. Results revealed stakeholder preferences for an AVAS sound that was both alerting and positive, and embodied qualities like calmness, politeness, and vibrancy. The workshops allowed for refinement of sound design requirements, although challenges emerged in balancing conflicting preferences and managing technical limitations to create a sound that could be both perceptible and nonintrusive. This study provides a framework for the development of an AVAS sound that could capture a range of stakeholder needs and preferences and lays a foundation for AVAS sounds that enhance safety while being positively received. It highlights the importance of inclusive, iterative design in advancing public transport safety and sustainability, with outcomes supporting the future sound design, testing, and implementation.

Although a stakeholder-inclusive approach to corporate governance is becoming accepted more widely, we have little idea on how it can be achieved in practice or understood theoretically. B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand requires certified B Corporations (B Corps) to include in their corporate constitution formal commitments to pursuing a pro-social purpose and taking their stakeholders’ interests into account. Through interviews with 20 B Corp leaders, we explore how this model of stakeholder governance is implemented. We find that an organization-specific corporate purpose helps leaders to attract, select, and retain supportive stakeholders and minimize stakeholder conflicts. We identify three decision-making processes (Establishing, Applying, Developing) and three signaling processes (Announcing, Demonstrating, Sharing) through which stakeholder governance is achieved. Our findings extend emerging theories of stakeholder governance by moving away from a focus on conflict resolution to demonstrate its potential to foster collaborative systemic change. B Corps display a helpful model for purpose-led stakeholder governance with the potential to be applied more widely.

Abstract Digital health plays a vital role in addressing the needs of communities through health interventions. In recent years, one of the ways to promote positive health outcomes was through mobile health applications (i.e., mHealth apps). The development of mHealth apps was further intensified by the recent pandemic, and the digital health support services offered by these apps to chronic patients are immense even after the pandemic. However, little research provides theoretical guidance on how to design and develop the functionalities of mHealth apps based on existing theories and their constructs. Theory-driven design and development of applications are necessary to guide researchers and practitioners on the process of building health behavior interventions which will also help to understand research challenges across fields. To address this research gap, we designed and developed an mHealth app through the lens of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and tested it with general users and an industry partner in Australia. We followed the design science methodology, and our findings suggest five functionalities (i.e., secure login, awareness and updates, learning resources, recording test results, and social networking and analytics) supported by four user themes (i.e., Mobile App Characteristics, Design and Privacy Issues, Information Archiving, and Information Authentication). From a theoretical perspective, this study extends the PMT by introducing positive and negative aspects to the theoretical constructs of Response Efficacy and Response Cost which is a coping appraisal construct. The study also recommends three design principles to follow for future mHealth apps and present the practical implications of this study using the National Digital Health Strategy.

Networks and graphs have emerged as powerful tools to model and analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. By constructing an adjacency matrix from recurrence networks, it is possible to capture critical structural and geometric information about the underlying dynamics of a time series. However, randomization of data often raises concerns about the potential loss of deterministic relationships. Here, in using the spring-electrical-force model, we demonstrate that by optimizing the distances between randomized points through minimizing an entropy-related energy measure, the deterministic structure of the original system is not destroyed. This process allows us to approximate the time series shape and correct the phase, effectively reconstructing the initial invariant set and attracting dynamics of the system. Our approach highlights the importance of adjacency matrices derived from recurrence plots, which preserve crucial information about the nonlinear dynamics. By using recurrence plots and the entropy of diagonal line lengths and leveraging the Kullback–Leibler divergence as a relative entropic measure, we fine-tune the parameters and initial conditions for recurrence plots, ensuring an optimal representation of the system’s dynamics. Through the integration of network geometry and energy minimization, we show that data-driven graphs can self-organize to retain and regenerate the fundamental features of the time series, including its phase space structures. This study underscores the robustness of recurrence networks as a tool for analyzing nonlinear systems and demonstrates that randomization, when guided by informed optimization, does not erase deterministic relationships, opening new avenues for reconstructing dynamical systems from observational data.

Abstract Recent advances in deep learning research have shown remarkable achievements across many tasks in computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). At the intersection of CV and NLP is the problem of image captioning, where the related models’ robustness against adversarial attacks has not been well studied. This paper presents a novel adversarial attack strategy, attention-based image captioning attack (AICAttack), designed to attack image captioning models through subtle perturbations to images. Operating within a black-box attack scenario, our algorithm requires no access to the target model’s architecture, parameters, or gradient information. We introduce an attention-based candidate selection mechanism that identifies the optimal pixels for attack, followed by a customized differential evolution method to optimize the perturbations of the pixels’ RGB values. We demonstrate AICAttack’s effectiveness through extensive experiments on benchmark datasets against multiple victim models. The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms current leading-edge techniques by achieving consistently higher attack success rates.

Recent years have witnessed the remarkable success of recommendation systems (RSs) in alleviating the information overload problem. As a new paradigm of RSs, session-based recommendation (SR) specializes in users’ short-term preferences and aims at providing a more dynamic and timely recommendation based on ongoing interactions. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of the recent works on SR. First, we clarify the key definitions within SR and compare the characteristics of SR against other recommendation tasks. Then, we summarize the existing methods in two categories: sequential neural network based methods and graph neural network (GNN) based methods. The relevant frameworks and technical details are further introduced. Finally, we discuss the challenges of SR and new research directions in this area.

View description>>

Multimodal recommendation, which utilizes rich multimodal information to learn user preferences, has attracted significant attention. Most works focus on designing powerful encoders for extracting multimodal features, and simply aggregate the learned features together to make prediction. Consequently, they have a limited capacity to learn the inter-modality knowledge including the modality-shared and modality-unique knowledge. In fact, learning the modality-shared knowledge enables us to align cross-modality data for fusing heterogeneous modality features. Learning the modality-unique knowledge is equally important when recommendation tasks only involve a small amount of shared features and the necessary information is contained within specific modality. In this article, we propose Contrastive Modality-Disentangled Learning (CMDL) to overcome this critical limitation. CMDL exactly captures the inter-modality knowledge by achieving modality disentanglement. Specifically, CMDL first disentangles the initial representation into the modality-invariant and modality-specific representations. Afterwards, CMDL introduces a novel manner of contrastive learning to approximate the MI upper bounds for achieving disentanglement regularization. Building upon the proposed regularization, CMDL encourages the modality-invariant and modality-specific representations to capture the modality-shared and modality-unique knowledge respectively and to be statistically independent to each other. Empirically, extensive experiments are conducted on benchmark datasets, demonstrating the superior performance of CMDL compared with strong multimodal recommenders.

Meanwhile, the development of Deepfake detectors represents another branch of models striving to recognize AI‐generated fake faces and protect people from the misinformation of Deepfake. This ongoing cat‐and‐mouse game between generation and detection has spurred a dynamic evolution in the landscape of Deepfake. This survey comprehensively studies recent advancements in Deepfake generation and detection techniques, focusing particularly on the utilization of generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models (DMs). For both GAN‐based and DM‐based Deepfake generators, we categorize them based on whether they synthesize new content or manipulate existing content. Correspondingly, we examine various strategies employed to identify synthetic and manipulated Deepfake, respectively. Finally, we summarize our findings by discussing the unique capabilities and limitations of GANs and DM in the context of Deepfake. We also identify promising future directions for research, including the development of hybrid approaches that leverage the strengths of both GANs and DM, the exploration of novel detection strategies utilizing advanced AI techniques, and the ethical considerations surrounding the development of Deepfake. This survey paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand the state‐of‐the‐art in Deepfake technology, its implications, and potential avenues for future research and development.

Artificial Intelligence has found applications in a wide range of fields, including conversational agents designed for healthcare services. The quality of healthcare services greatly depends on the quality of the information provided by the agents. Achieving quality-assured information from conversational agents to support effective decision-making remains as a significant challenge in healthcare. Although prior review studies have shown an interest in investigating the information quality (IQ) of conversational agents in healthcare, no systematic review has been performed to present IQ definitions, factors influencing IQ, and IQ impacts. We conducted a systematic review of 45 articles published up to 2021 to investigate IQ definitions, factors influencing IQ, and IQ impacts in the context of conversational agents applied in healthcare. The findings of this review are integrated into a conceptual framework for the IQ research program in the context of conversational agents in healthcare, which has not been received attention in the literature, guiding future research directions. The present study also discusses implications for both researchers and practitioners to enhance the agents’ IQ and improve the quality of health-related services.

View description>>

We present a method to approximate free-form surfaces using assemblies of rotational patches for architectural rationalization. Rotational surface patches inherently allow for the simultaneous repetition of multiple building elements along the arc direction. By assembling multiple patches, we can create diverse free-form-like geometries to satisfy broad design intents, while preserving local symmetry to enable cost-effective element fabrication. The main challenge lies in the strict constraint of maintaining local rotational symmetry, while ensuring the final tessellated form is seamless, smooth, and closely resembles the target surface. To address this, we propose a patch layout creation approach that segments the input surface into patches, resembling untrimmed rotational patches within a prescribed error threshold. Additionally, we develop a B-spline-based optimization framework to refine the fitted rotational patches for smooth connections and faithful surface approximation. To facilitate practical architectural applications, we provide a post-processing tool that converts the discrete patch assembly into a seamless, smooth quad mesh composed of locally repeated elements. We demonstrate that our approach is applicable to a variety of free-form surfaces, including those that mimic iconic architectural designs, and can address various practical requirements for a wide range of application scenarios.

We present a graph-theoretic characterization of when a quantum spin model admits an exact solution via a mapping to free parafermions. Our characterization is based on the concept of a frustration graph, which represents the commutation relations between Weyl operators of a Hamiltonian. We show that a quantum spin system has an exact free-parafermion solution if its frustration graph is an oriented indifference graph. Furthermore, we show that if the frustration graph of a model can be dipath oriented via switching operations, then the model is integrable in the sense that there is a family of commuting independent set charges. Additionally, we establish an efficient algorithm for deciding whether this is possible. Our characterization extends that given for free-fermion solvability. Finally, we apply our results to solve three qudit spin models.

Abstract Quantum algorithms for simulation of Hamiltonian evolution are often based on product formulae. The fractal methods give a systematic way to find arbitrarily high-order product formulae, but result in a large number of exponentials. On the other hand, product formulae with fewer exponentials can be found by numerical solution of simultaneous non-linear equations. It is also possible to reduce the cost of long-time simulations by processing, where a kernel is repeated and a processor need only be applied at the beginning and end of the simulation. In this work, we found thousands of new product formulae, and numerically tested these formulae, together with many formulae from prior literature. We provide methods to fairly compare product formulae of different lengths and different orders. For the case of 8th order, we have found new product formulae with exceptional performance, about two orders of magnitude better accuracy than prior work, both in the processed and non-processed cases. The processed product formula provides the best performance due to being shorter than the non-processed product formula. It outperforms all other tested product formulae over a range of many orders of magnitude in system parameters T (time) and ε (allowable error). That includes reasonable combinations of parameters to be used in quantum algorithms, where the size of the simulation is large enough to be classically intractable, but not so large it takes an impractically long time on a quantum computer.

In bioassays that involve the playback of recorded insect vibration signals using conventional commercial shakers, two issues need to be addressed. First, common shaker systems do not have the capability of producing insect excitations that are in the micro or milli Newton range. Second, recorded insect signals are the response of the substrate excited by the vibrations produced by the insect, but the influence of the substrate is rarely considered by the biotremology community. Here, we, therefore, present the development of a micro-excitation system across three stages: (1) an initial Arduino-based with a piezoelectric beam element; (2) a Raspberry Pi-controlled piezoelectric buzzer with fast-acting amplification circuit, compared to commercial stacked piezo actuators; and (3) an in-house developed microactuator consisting of a microcontroller and a piezoelectric actuator (MiAC-S). The evolution of the amplification circuit and its integration into MiAC-S will be described. The MiAC-S will be validated. Finally, we demonstrate the effect of the substrate on the playback of an impulse response signal compared to using a direct impulse as an excitation signal. The results indicate that the vibration response should not be used for playback of insect signals on substrates as it produces results inconsistent with theoretical expectations, thereby increasing the uncertainty and reducing the control quality of bioassays.

As a crystallographer, nothing is sadder than failed crystal growth. As an “experienced” crystallographer (a basketball ref couldn't hand signal my number of years), I’ve thrown away more than my share of oily smudges (always according to established hazardous waste procedures, of course). Fortunately, my students are more curious than I. Recently we reported the first halogen-bonding-based deep eutectic solvent, which consisted of a mixture of 1,3-dithiane and o- diiodotetrafluorobenzene – a system that simply refused to cooperate during crystal growth (Peloquin et al. Angew Chem, Int. Ed.2021, 60, 22983–22989). Based on this result and memories of many other liquid samples, we have been exploring a number of different systems, most consisting of tetraalkylammonium triiodides with a variety of organoiodines. As it turns out, many of these systems that resist crystal growth are doing exactly what they are “supposed” to do. Most of these are pseudo binary systems with two or more eutectic points and at least one cocrystalline composition (see phase diagram below). The preparation and characterization of these systems by thermal analysis and, in the case of cocrystals, structural characterization will be discussed. Efforts to correlate halogen bonding in triiodide-based cocrystals with halogen bonding in triiodide-based deep eutectic solvents are now in progress.

Abstract This paper introduces a novel mixed integer programming (MIP) reformulation for the joint chance-constrained optimal power flow problem under uncertain load and renewable energy generation. Unlike traditional models, our approach incorporates a comprehensive evaluation of system-wide risk without decomposing joint chance constraints into individual constraints, thus preventing overly conservative solutions and ensuring robust system security. A significant innovation in our method is the use of historical data to form a sample average approximation that directly informs the MIP model, bypassing the need for distributional assumptions to enhance solution robustness. Additionally, we implement a model improvement strategy to reduce the computational burden, making our method more scalable for large-scale power systems. Our approach is validated against benchmark systems, i.e., IEEE 14-, 57- and 118-bus systems, demonstrating superior performance in terms of cost-efficiency and robustness, with lower computational demand compared to existing methods.

This article develops a new penalty‐based aggregation operator known as the penalty‐based induced ordered weighted averaging (P‐IOWA) operator which is an extension of penalty‐based ordered weighted averaging (P‐OWA) operator. Our goal is to figure out how the induced variable realigns penalties when gathering information. We extend the P‐OWA and P‐IOWA operators with the different means such as generalized mean and quasi‐arithmetic mean. This article also includes different families of P‐OWA and P‐IOWA operators. The value of these new operators is demonstrated through a case study centered on investment matters. This study evaluates the economic and governance performance of seven South Asian nations utilizing nine indicators from 2021 data. The research examines 5 economic indicators including GDP growth, exports and imports (% of GDP), inflation, and labor force metrics, alongside 4 governance indicators focusing on corruption control, government effectiveness, and political stability. We use min–max normalization to standardize the varied values, which originally ranged from 0.5% to 77.7% across various metrics. Following this, the normalized inverse penalty method is used to derive optimal weights for these indicators, tackling the task of combining multidimensional data. Subsequently, we implement and evaluate various penalty‐based aggregation methodologies on the normalized data, each offering a distinct approach to penalizing outliers and balancing indicator weights. The study compares the results obtained from these operators to assess their impact on country rankings and overall performance evaluation. This approach allows for a comprehensive comparison of countries’ performances, integrating both economic and governance dimensions into a single, quantifiable framework.

Integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into Cyber–Physical–Social Systems (CPSS) is pivotal for reducing energy costs, enhancing grid stability, and extending battery lifespan. However, existing optimization methods often struggle to balance operational cost, battery degradation, and grid reliability, particularly under uncertain demand and supply conditions. This paper introduces the Growth Optimizer (GO), a novel meta-heuristic algorithm specifically designed for day-ahead BESS scheduling in CPSS environments. Unlike traditional methods, GO explicitly incorporates cyber, physical, and social dimensions, capturing the interdependent dynamics among energy consumption behavior, grid operations, and economic incentives. By leveraging adaptive scheduling under varying battery capacities, GO effectively mitigates uncertainties such as demand fluctuations and renewable intermittency. When applied to five Australian states, GO achieves up to a 15% improvement in multi-objective performance metrics, resulting in measurable financial savings, extended battery life, and reduced infrastructure costs. This approach empowers end users to optimize energy use proactively, enhancing both economic efficiency and energy autonomy.

ABSTRACTPurposeCaregivers in pediatric oncology need accurate and understandable information about their child's condition, treatment, and side effects. This study assesses the performance of publicly accessible large language model (LLM)‐supported tools in providing valuable and reliable information to caregivers of children with cancer.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, we evaluated the performance of the four LLM‐supported tools—ChatGPT (GPT‐4), Google Bard (Gemini Pro), Microsoft Bing Chat, and Google SGE—against a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) derived from the Children's Oncology Group Family Handbook and expert input (In total, 26 FAQs and 104 generated responses). Five pediatric oncology experts assessed the generated LLM responses using measures including accuracy, clarity, inclusivity, completeness, clinical utility, and overall rating. Additionally, the content quality was evaluated including readability, AI disclosure, source credibility, resource matching, and content originality. We used descriptive analysis and statistical tests including Shapiro–Wilk, Levene's, Kruskal–Wallis H‐tests, and Dunn's post hoc tests for pairwise comparisons.ResultsChatGPT shows high overall performance when evaluated by the experts. Bard also performed well, especially in accuracy and clarity of the responses, whereas Bing Chat and Google SGE had lower overall scores. Regarding the disclosure of responses being generated by AI, it was observed less frequently in ChatGPT responses, which may have affected the clarity of responses, whereas Bard maintained a balance between AI disclosure and response clarity.

Abstract The pervasive presence and wide-ranging variety of artificial intelligence (AI) systems underscore the necessity for inclusivity and diversity in their design and implementation, to effectively address critical issues of fairness, trust, bias, and transparency. However, diversity and inclusion (D&I) considerations are significantly neglected in AI systems design, development, and deployment. Ignoring D&I in AI systems can cause digital redlining, discrimination, and algorithmic oppression, leading to AI systems being perceived as untrustworthy and unfair. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the challenges and their corresponding solutions (guidelines/ strategies/ approaches/ practices) about D&I in AI and about the applications of AI for D&I practices. Through a rigorous search and selection, 48 relevant academic papers published from 2017 to 2022 were identified. By applying open coding on the extracted data from the selected papers, we identified 55 unique challenges and 33 unique solutions in addressing D&I in AI. We also identified 24 unique challenges and 23 unique solutions for enhancing D&I practices by AI. The result of our analysis and synthesis of the selected studies contributes to a deeper understanding of diversity and inclusion issues and considerations in the design, development and deployment of the AI ecosystem. The findings would play an important role in enhancing awareness and attracting the attention of researchers and practitioners in their quest to embed D&I principles and practices in future AI systems. This study also identifies important gaps in the research literature that will inspire future direction for researchers.

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is a crucial task in the logistics and transportation industry, aiding businesses and individuals in optimizing time management and improving operational efficiency. This study proposes a novel Graph Recurrent Neural Network (GRNN) model that integrates external factor data. The model first employs a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)-based external factor data embedding layer to categorize and combine influencing factors into a vector representation. A Graph Recurrent Neural Network, combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and GNN models, is then used to predict ETA based on historical data. The model undergoes both offline and online evaluation experiments. Specifically, the offline experiments demonstrate a 5.3% reduction in RMSE on the BikeNYC dataset and a 6.1% reduction on the DidiShenzhen dataset, compared to baseline models. Online evaluation using Baidu Maps data further validates the model's effectiveness in real-time scenarios. These results underscore the model's potential in improving ETA predictions for urban traffic systems.

Dynamic recommendation systems, where users interact with items continuously over time, have been widely deployed in real-world online streaming applications. The burst of interaction stream causes a rapid evolution of both users and items. To update representations dynamically, existing studies have investigated event-level and history-level dynamics by modeling the newly arrived interactions and aggregating historical interactions, respectively. However, most of them directly learn the representation evolution as new interactions occur, without exploring the collaboration between the newly arrived and historical interactions, thus failing to scrutinize whether those new interactions would benefit the evolution learning process when generating dynamic representations. Moreover, most of them model the two levels of dynamics independently, explicitly ignoring the inherent co-evolving correlation between them. In this work, we propose the Temporal Collaboration-Aware Graph Co-Evolution Learning (TCGC) for the dynamic recommendation scenario. First, we explore the effectiveness of collaborative information and devise the collaboration-aware indicator to guide the evolution learning process. Second, we design a temporal co-evolving graph network, enabling our framework to capture the correlation between event and history dynamics. Third, we leverage the evolution task and recommendation task together for joint training. Extensive experiments on four public datasets demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of our proposed TCGC.

ABSTRACTIn light of the mounting environmental pressures, especially the significant threat urban air pollution poses to public health, there arises an imperative need to develop a data‐driven model for air pollution prediction. However, contemporary deep learning techniques, such as recurrent neural networks, often struggle to effectively capture the underlying data patterns and distributions, resulting in reduced model stability. To address this gap, this study introduces an ensemble Wasserstein generative adversarial network framework (EWGF) to enhance the stability and accuracy of PM2.5 predictions by facilitating the acquisition of more informative data representations through Wasserstein generative adversarial network. The framework contains an intricate feature extraction pipeline that automatically learns features containing residual information as representations of potential features, effectively ameliorating the underutilization of feature information. We address a nonconvex multi‐objective optimization problem associated with amalgamating diverse Wasserstein generative adversarial network architectures, which enhance the inherent instability of the predictions. Furthermore, an adaptive search strategy is introduced to ascertain the optimal distribution of prediction residuals, thereby expanding the prediction interval estimation method based on residual distribution. We rigorously evaluate the proposed framework using datasets from three major Indian cities, and our experiments unequivocally show that the EWGF outperforms existing solutions in both PM2.5 point prediction and interval prediction, evidenced by an approximate 8.07% reduction in mean absolute percentage error and an approximate 19.41% improvement in prediction interval score compared to the baseline model.

Vision-language models, such as the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) model, have achieved significant success in image classification tasks. CLIP demonstrates high expressive power in few-shot learning scenarios due to its pairing of text and image encoders. However, CLIP still faces over-fitting when trained with a limited number of samples. To mitigate this, image augmentation techniques have been proposed in few-shot learning tasks to prevent over-fitting by enriching the dataset. Existing image augmentation methods, primarily designed for single-modal image models, focus solely on transformations within the image itself. However, for CLIP, merely increasing visual variety without considering textual content can reduce generalization ability and may even mislead the model. To address this issue, we introduce a novel image augmentation approach—Integrated Image-Text Augmentation (ITA)— for CLIP model in few-shot learning tasks. This method generates new and diverse augmented images to increase the diversity of the training data and reduce over-fitting. Additionally, ITA establishes an alignment between the augmented images and their textual descriptions. Through this alignment, the model not only learns to recognize visual elements in the images but also understands the semantic connections between these elements and the text descriptions. This dual-modal approach enhances the model’s flexibility and accuracy in processing few-shot learning tasks. Extensive experiments in few-shot image classification scenarios have demonstrated that ITA shows significant improvements compared to various image augmentation techniques.

Abstract The rise of the digital era has led to a decline in handwriting as the primary mode of communication, resulting in negative effects on handwriting literacy, particularly in complex writing systems such as Chinese. The marginalization of handwriting has contributed to the deterioration of penmanship, defined as the ability to write aesthetically and legibly. Despite penmanship being widely acknowledged as a crucial factor in predicting language literacy, research on its evaluation remains limited, with existing assessments primarily dependent on expert subjective ratings. Recent initiatives have started to explore the application of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for automated penmanship assessment. In this study, we adopted a similar approach, developing a CNN-based automatic assessment system for penmanship in traditional Chinese handwriting. Utilizing an existing database of 39,207 accurately handwritten characters (penscripts) from 40 handwriters, we had three human raters evaluate each penscript’s penmanship on a 10-point scale and calculated an average penmanship score. We trained a CNN on 90% of the penscripts and their corresponding penmanship scores. Upon testing the CNN model on the remaining 10% of penscripts, it achieved a remarkable performance (overall 9.82% normalized Mean Absolute Percentage Error) in predicting human penmanship scores, illustrating its potential for assessing handwriters’ penmanship. To enhance accessibility, we developed a mobile application based on the CNN model, allowing users to conveniently evaluate their penmanship.

Abstract Current genome-wide association studies provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of ischaemic stroke (IS) risk. However, polygenic risk scores, the most widely used method for genetic risk prediction, have notable limitations due to their linear nature and inability to capture complex, nonlinear interactions among genetic variants. While deep neural networks offer advantages in modeling these complex relationships, the multifactorial nature of IS and the influence of modifiable risk factors present additional challenges for genetic risk prediction. To address these challenges, we propose a Chromosome-wise Multi-task Genomic (MetaGeno) framework that utilizes genetic data from IS and five related diseases. The framework includes a chromosome-based embedding layer to model local and global interactions among adjacent variants, enabling a biologically informed approach. Incorporating multi-disease learning further enhances predictive accuracy by leveraging shared genetic information. Among various sequential models tested, the Transformer demonstrated superior performance, and outperformed other machine learning models and PRS baselines, achieving an AUROC of 0.809 on the UK Biobank dataset. Risk stratification identified a two-fold increased stroke risk (HR, 2.14; 95% CI: 1.81–2.46) in the top 1% risk group, with a nearly five-fold increase in those with modifiable risk factors such as atrial fibrillation and hypertension. Finally, the model was validated on the diverse All of Us dataset (AUROC = 0.764), highlighting ancestry and population differences while demonstrating effective generalization. This study introduces a predictive framework that identifies high-risk individuals and informs targeted prevention strategies, offering potential as a clinical decision-support tool.

This article tackles the limited theorising on social enterprises’ (SEs) decisions on the product or service mix, quality, pricing, and the targeted beneficiaries by proposing a typology of competitive strategies for them. The paper empirically observes how SEs react to the challenges faced by the marketisation of their fields. The context of this study is the supplementary education of the disabled in Turkey, a field where increased state coverage led to the entrance of many profit-focused counterparts. Based on a Grounded Theory methodology and a longitudinal dataset including ten cases, the study developed a unique typology comprising three competitive strategies, i.e., innovator, enforcer, and includer. The findings illustrate various strategic responses to heightened competition from incumbent SEs. However, deviation of these strategic responses from the typology appeared to be detrimental in the long-term. By shedding light on the intricacies of the hybrid nature of SEs and considering changes in their competitive environment over time, this study concludes with a summary of contributions to theory, practice, and policy.

Quantum recursive programming has been recently introduced for describing sophisticated and complicated quantum algorithms in a compact and elegant way. However, implementation of quantum recursion involves intricate interplay between quantum control flow and recursive procedure calls. In this paper, we aim at resolving this fundamental challenge and develop a series of techniques to efficiently implement quantum recursive programs. Our main contributions include: 1. We propose a notion of quantum register machine, the first quantum architecture (including an instruction set) that provides instruction-level support for quantum control flow and recursive procedure calls at the same time. 2. Based on quantum register machine, we describe the first comprehensive implementation process of quantum recursive programs, including the compilation, the partial evaluation of quantum control flow, and the execution on the quantum register machine. 3. As a bonus, our efficient implementation of quantum recursive programs also offers automatic parallelisation of quantum algorithms. For implementing certain quantum algorithmic subroutine, like the widely used quantum multiplexor, we can even obtain exponential parallel speed-up (over the straightforward implementation) from this automatic parallelisation. This demonstrates that quantum recursive programming can be win-win for both modularity of programs and efficiency of their implementation.

Abstract Despite rural regions cover a significant portion of the world's land, they remain overlooked entities within scholarly discourse as well as in a broader socio-economic context. However, their integration into sustainable development efforts is gaining relevance and should be considered as a strategic priority. This paper presents a research framework to identify determinants for Smart Technology adoption in rural regions. The main goal is to support organizations in rural areas to better understand and analyse the challenges with a scientific focus. It is expected to contribute to unlock new opportunities for innovative solutions, as well as to improve performance and enhance business sustainability in their unique context. The framework results from the combination and in-context interpretation of three different theories to define integrated strategic solutions: Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI), Technology Organizations-Environment (TOE) framework, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This approach ideally provides support to mixed methods to enable research in fact within real organizational contexts. Such a conceptual asset is expected to contribute in practice by facilitating (i) the formulation of theories as a response to open research issues, (ii) the development of appropriate integrated strategies, and (iii) the identification of major determinants to establish a consistent road map. The combination of chosen theories contributes to better investigating the causes of the research problem through a set of factors targeting the technology adoption in the rural context, providing a clear insight into solutions for decision-makers.

Although demonstrations of small-scale quantum networks have emerged in the past decade, quantum communication and computation hardware remain scarce resources today. As a result, the evaluation and validation of quantum network protocols primarily rely on classical simulators rather than real quantum networks. This paper introduces a novel quantum network simulation method called control flow adaptation, which enhances standard tensor network simulations. This method enables accurate and efficient simulations of many important quantum network protocols by carefully leveraging the control flow structures of them. Furthermore, we have developed a prototype quantum network simulator, qns-3, as a module for ns-3. This new module implements the control flow adaptation technique and applies it to a wide range of protocols. All related code is open-source [1]. We believe the development of the control flow adaptation method and the qns-3 simulator represents a step forward in quantum network research, offering a versatile and scalable platform for testing and verifying quantum network protocols on classical computers.

Adversarial noise attacks present a significant threat to quantum machine learning (QML) models, similar to their classical counterparts. This is especially true in the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era, where noise is unavoidable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the robustness of QML models before their deployment. To address this challenge, we introduce VeriQR, the first tool designed specifically for formally verifying and improving the robustness of QML models, to the best of our knowledge. This tool mimics real-world quantum hardware’s noisy impacts by incorporating random noise to formally validate a QML model’s robustness. VeriQR supports exact (sound and complete) algorithms for both local and global robustness verification. For enhanced efficiency, it implements an under-approximate (complete) algorithm and a tensor network-based algorithm to verify local and global robustness, respectively. As a formal verification tool, VeriQR can detect adversarial examples and utilize them for further analysis and to enhance the local robustness through adversarial training, as demonstrated by experiments on real-world quantum machine learning models. Moreover, it permits users to incorporate customized noise. Based on this feature, we assess VeriQR using various real-world examples, and experimental outcomes confirm that the addition of specific quantum noise can enhance the global robustness of QML models. These processes are made accessible through a user-friendly graphical interface provided by VeriQR, catering to general users without requiring a deep understanding of the counter-intuitive probabilistic nature of quantum computing.

Prompt Tuning adapts frozen models to new tasks by prepending a few learnable embeddings to the input. However, it struggles with tasks that suffer from data scarcity. To address this, we explore Cross-Modality Prompt Transfer, leveraging prompts pretrained on a data-rich modality to improve performance on data-scarce tasks in another modality. As a pioneering study, we first verify the feasibility of cross-modality prompt transfer by directly applying frozen source prompts (trained on the source modality) to the target modality task. To empirically study cross-modality prompt transferability, we train a linear layer to adapt source prompts to the target modality, thereby boosting performance and providing ground-truth transfer results. Regarding estimating prompt transferability, existing methods show ineffectiveness in cross-modality scenarios where the gap between source and target tasks is larger. We address this by decomposing the gap into the modality gap and the task gap, which we measure separately to autonomously select the best source prompt for a target task. Additionally, we propose Attention Transfer to further reduce the gaps by injecting target knowledge into the prompt and reorganizing a top-transferable source prompt using an attention block. We conduct extensive experiments involving prompt transfer from 13 source language tasks to 19 target vision tasks under three settings. Our findings demonstrate that: (i) cross-modality prompt transfer is feasible, supported by in-depth analysis; (ii) measuring both the modality and task gaps is crucial for accurate prompt transferability estimation, a factor overlooked by previous studies; (iii) cross-modality prompt transfer can significantly release the powers of prompt tuning on data-scarce tasks, as evidenced by comparisons with a newly released prompt-based benchmark.
