Abstract-In power systems, load curve data is one of the most important datasets that are collected and retained by utilities. The quality of load curve data, however, is hard to guarantee since the data is subject to communication losses, meter malfunctions, and many other impacts. In this paper, a new approach to analyzing load curve data is presented. The method adopts a new view, termed portrait, on the load curve data by analyzing the periodic patterns in the data and re-organizing the data for ease of analysis. Furthermore, we introduce algorithms to build the virtual portrait load curve data, and demonstrate its application on load curve data cleansing. Compared to existing regressionbased methods, our method is much faster and more accurate for both small-scale and large-scale real-world datasets.
The rapid development and application of AI in intelligent transportation systems has widely impacted daily life. The application of an intelligent visual aid for traffic sign information recognition can provide assistance and even control vehicles to ensure safe driving. The field of autonomous driving is booming, and great progress has been made. Many traffic sign recognition algorithms based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed because of the fast execution and high recognition rate of CNNs. However, this work addresses a challenging question in the autonomous driving field: how can traffic signs be recognized in real time and accurately? The proposed method designs an improved VGG convolutional neural network and has significantly superior performance compared with existing schemes. First, some redundant convolutional layers are removed efficiently from the VGG-16 network, and the number of parameters is greatly reduced to further optimize the overall architecture and accelerate calculation. Furthermore, the BN (batch normalization) layer and GAP (global average pooling) layer are added to the network to improve the accuracy without increasing the number of parameters. The proposed method needs only 1.15 M when using the improved VGG-16 network. Finally, extensive experiments on the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) Dataset are performed to evaluate our proposed scheme. Compared with traditional methods, our scheme significantly improves recognition accuracy while maintaining good real-time performance.
Knowledge base completion (KBC) aims to predict missing information in a knowledge base. Most existing embedding-based KBC models assume that all test entities are available at training time. Thus, a question arises-that is, how to answer queries concerning test entities not observed at training time, which is called the out-of-knowledge-base (OOKB) entity problem. In this paper, we propose a parameter-efficient embedding model that combines the benefits of a graph neural network (GNN) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) to solve the KBC task with OOKB entities. First, we apply the GNN architecture to learn the information between nodes in the graph. Second, convolution layers are used as a transition matrix in GNN to learn more expressive embeddings with fewer parameters. Finally, we use a transition-based knowledge graph embedding model to solve the KBC task. The model has learnable weights that adapt based on information from neighbors and can exploit auxiliary knowledge for OOKB entities to compute their embedding while remaining parameter efficient. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model on OOKB datasets, and the code is available at https://github.com/Tianchen627/Knowledge-Transferfor-Out-of-Knowledge-Base-Entities.
