This practice involves strategically designing and structuring prompts to guide AI models toward desired outcomes, ensuring that they generate relevant, informative, and accurate responses. The significance of prompt engineering cannot be overstated. Well-crafted prompts can significantly enhance the capabilities of AI models, enabling them to perform tasks that were once thought to be exclusively human domain. By providing clear and concise instructions, prompts can guide AI models to generate creative text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. Moreover, prompt engineering can help mitigate biases and ensure that AI models produce outputs that are fair, equitable, and inclusive. However, prompt engineering is not without its challenges. Crafting effective prompts requires a deep understanding of both the AI model’s capabilities and the specific task at hand. Additionally, the quality of the prompts can be influenced by factors such as the model’s training data [1] and the complexity of the task. As AI models continue to evolve, prompt engineering will likely become even more critical in unlocking their full potential.展开更多

文摘The distribution of material phases is crucial to determine the composite’s mechanical property.While the full structure-mechanics relationship of highly ordered material distributions can be studied with finite number of cases,this relationship is difficult to be revealed for complex irregular distributions,preventing design of such material structures to meet certain mechanical requirements.The noticeable developments of artificial intelligence(AI)algorithms in material design enables to detect the hidden structure-mechanics correlations which is essential for designing composite of complex structures.It is intriguing how these tools can assist composite design.Here,we focus on the rapid generation of bicontinuous composite structures together with the stress distribution in loading.We find that generative AI,enabled through fine-tuned Low Rank Adaptation models,can be trained with a few inputs to generate both synthetic composite structures and the corresponding von Mises stress distribution.The results show that this technique is convenient in generating massive composites designs with useful mechanical information that dictate stiffness,fracture and robustness of the material with one model,and such has to be done by several different experimental or simulation tests.This research offers valuable insights for the improvement of composite design with the goal of expanding the design space and automatic screening of composite designs for improved mechanical functions.

文摘Robot calligraphy visually reflects the motion capability of robotic manipulators.While traditional researches mainly focus on image generation and the writing of simple calligraphic strokes or characters,this article presents a generative adversarial network(GAN)-based motion learning method for robotic calligraphy synthesis(Gan2CS)that can enhance the efficiency in writing complex calligraphy words and reproducing classic calligraphy works.The key technologies in the proposed approach include:(1)adopting the GAN to learn the motion parameters from the robot writing operation;(2)converting the learnt motion data into the style font and realising the transition from static calligraphy images to dynamic writing demonstration;(3)reproducing high-precision calligraphy works by synthesising the writing motion data hierarchically.In this study,the motion trajectories of sample calligraphy images are firstly extracted and converted into the robot module.The robot performs the writing with motion planning,and the writing motion parameters of calligraphy strokes are learnt with GANs.Then the motion data of basic strokes is synthesised based on the hierarchical process of‘stroke-radicalpart-character’.And the robot re-writes the synthesised characters whose similarity with the original calligraphy characters is evaluated.Regular calligraphy characters have been tested in the experiments for method validation and the results validated that the robot can actualise the robotic calligraphy synthesis of writing motion data with GAN.
文摘Accurate quantification of the uncertainty in the mechanical characteristics of dielectric solids is crucial for advancing their application in high-precision technological domains,necessitating the development of robust com-putational methods.This paper introduces a Conditional Generation Adversarial Network Isogeometric Analysis(CGAN-IGA)to assess the uncertainty of dielectric solids’mechanical characteristics.IGA is utilized for the precise computation of electric potentials in dielectric,piezoelectric,and flexoelectric materials,leveraging its advantage of integrating seamlessly with Computer-Aided Design(CAD)models to maintain exact geometrical fidelity.The CGAN method is highly efficient in generating models for piezoelectric and flexoelectric materials,specifically adapting to targeted design requirements and constraints.Then,the CGAN-IGA is adopted to calculate the electric potential of optimum models with different parameters to accelerate uncertainty quantification processes.The accuracy and feasibility of this method are verified through numerical experiments presented herein.

文摘Recently,there have been significant advancements in the study of semantic communication in single-modal scenarios.However,the ability to process information in multi-modal environments remains limited.Inspired by the research and applications of natural language processing across different modalities,our goal is to accurately extract frame-level semantic information from videos and ultimately transmit high-quality videos.Specifically,we propose a deep learning-basedMulti-ModalMutual Enhancement Video Semantic Communication system,called M3E-VSC.Built upon a VectorQuantized Generative AdversarialNetwork(VQGAN),our systemaims to leverage mutual enhancement among different modalities by using text as the main carrier of transmission.With it,the semantic information can be extracted fromkey-frame images and audio of the video and performdifferential value to ensure that the extracted text conveys accurate semantic information with fewer bits,thus improving the capacity of the system.Furthermore,a multi-frame semantic detection module is designed to facilitate semantic transitions during video generation.Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed model maintains high robustness in complex noise environments,particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio conditions,significantly improving the accuracy and speed of semantic transmission in video communication by approximately 50 percent.

文摘Early and timely diagnosis of stroke is critical for effective treatment,and the electroencephalogram(EEG)offers a low-cost,non-invasive solution.However,the shortage of high-quality patient EEG data often hampers the accuracy of diagnostic classification methods based on deep learning.To address this issue,our study designed a deep data amplification model named Progressive Conditional Generative Adversarial Network with Efficient Approximating Self Attention(PCGAN-EASA),which incrementally improves the quality of generated EEG features.This network can yield full-scale,fine-grained EEG features from the low-scale,coarse ones.Specially,to overcome the limitations of traditional generative models that fail to generate features tailored to individual patient characteristics,we developed an encoder with an effective approximating self-attention mechanism.This encoder not only automatically extracts relevant features across different patients but also reduces the computational resource consumption.Furthermore,the adversarial loss and reconstruction loss functions were redesigned to better align with the training characteristics of the network and the spatial correlations among electrodes.Extensive experimental results demonstrate that PCGAN-EASA provides the highest generation quality and the lowest computational resource usage compared to several existing approaches.Additionally,it significantly improves the accuracy of subsequent stroke classification tasks.

文摘Structural damage in heterogeneousmaterials typically originates frommicrostructures where stress concentration occurs.Therefore,evaluating the magnitude and location of localized stress distributions within microstructures under external loading is crucial.Repeating unit cells(RUCs)are commonly used to represent microstructural details and homogenize the effective response of composites.This work develops a machine learning-based micromechanics tool to accurately predict the stress distributions of extracted RUCs.The locally exact homogenization theory efficiently generates the microstructural stresses of RUCs with a wide range of parameters,including volume fraction,fiber/matrix property ratio,fiber shapes,and loading direction.Subsequently,the conditional generative adversarial network(cGAN)is employed and constructed as a surrogate model to establish the statistical correlation between these parameters and the corresponding localized stresses.The stresses predicted by cGAN are validated against the remaining true data not used for training,showing good agreement.This work demonstrates that the cGAN-based micromechanics tool effectively captures the local responses of composite RUCs.It can be used for predicting potential crack initiations starting from microstructures and evaluating the effective behavior of periodic composites.
文摘The risk of bias is widely noticed in the entire process of generative artificial intelligence(generative AI)systems.To protect the rights of the public and improve the effectiveness of AI regulations,feasible measures to address the bias problem in the context of large data should be proposed as soon as possible.Since bias originates in every part and various aspects of AI product lifecycles,laws and technical measures should consider each of these layers and take different causes of bias into account,from data training,modeling,and application design.The Interim Measures for the Administration of Generative AI Service(the Interim Measures),formulated by the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission(CAC)and other departments have taken the initiatives to govern AI.However,it lacks specific details on issues such as how to prevent the risk of bias and reduce the effect of bias in decision-making.The Interim Measures also fail to take causes of bias into account,and several principles must be further interpreted.Meanwhile,regulations on generative AI at the global level are still in their early stages.By forming a governance framework,this paper could provide the community with useful experiences and play a leading role.The framework includes at least three parts:first,determining the realm of governance and unifying related concepts;second,developing measures for different layers to identify the causes and specific aspects of bias;third,identifying parties with the skills to take responsibility for detecting bias intrusions and proposing a program for the allocation of liabilities among the large-scale platform developers.

文摘With the rapid advancement of AI technology,especially the emergence of generative AI such as ChatGPT and ERNIE Bot,the field of education is undergoing profound changes.While they change the way information is obtained and processed,these AI technologies challenge traditional teaching models.Based on evaluating the feasibility of various generative AI tools for teaching and comparing their respective advantages and disadvantages,this paper delves into the application scenarios of these generative AI tools in English reading,writing,and translation,and explores their specific applications in the pre-class,in-class,and post-class parts of“College English Reading,Writing,and Translation”.It is hoped that through innovative teaching methods,both students’learning effectiveness and teachers’teaching efficiency can be improved.At the same time,it is crucial to guide students in recognizing the misinformation and biases that exist in generative AI,while emphasizing the significance of originality and intellectual property.Moreover,their critical thinking skills and proper academic concepts could be cultivated and help them prevent academic misconduct.
文摘Prompt engineering, the art of crafting effective prompts for artificial intelligence models, has emerged as a pivotal factor in determining the quality and usefulness of AI (Artificial Intelligence)-generated outputs. This practice involves strategically designing and structuring prompts to guide AI models toward desired outcomes, ensuring that they generate relevant, informative, and accurate responses. The significance of prompt engineering cannot be overstated. Well-crafted prompts can significantly enhance the capabilities of AI models, enabling them to perform tasks that were once thought to be exclusively human domain. By providing clear and concise instructions, prompts can guide AI models to generate creative text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. Moreover, prompt engineering can help mitigate biases and ensure that AI models produce outputs that are fair, equitable, and inclusive. However, prompt engineering is not without its challenges. Crafting effective prompts requires a deep understanding of both the AI model’s capabilities and the specific task at hand. Additionally, the quality of the prompts can be influenced by factors such as the model’s training data [1] and the complexity of the task. As AI models continue to evolve, prompt engineering will likely become even more critical in unlocking their full potential.
