2024, 53(5): 672-684. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2024188
Abstract:
Optical wavefront is the geometric representation of the phase surface of light waves. Optical wavefront sensing technology analyzes the properties of objects by detecting phase changes in the light wave propagation path. This technology is widely used in atmospheric turbulence detection, optical element defect analysis, and biological sample research, playing a crucial role in fields such as astronomy, adaptive optics, microscopic imaging, laser systems, and biomedicine. However, common detectors are only sensitive to light intensity. To detect optical wavefronts, a series of complex optical components are typically required at the detection front end, leading to large system sizes, high costs, and structural complexity. In recent years, with continuous advancements in micro-nano optics and artificial intelligence, a series of integrated, miniaturized, and high-performance optical wavefront sensing technologies based on new principles, devices, and algorithms have emerged. This paper systematically reviews the recent research progress in optical wavefront sensing techniques, including two main types of interferometric and non-interferometric as well as typical methods: shear interferometry type, grating interferometry type, near-field interferometry type, algorithmic reconstruction type, and dimension-associated type. Finally, the current challenges in the field are summarized and the future development directions prospected.

LI Xinyao, CHEN Hongbo, SHEN Liyuan, Feng Xuesong, LI Jingjing
2024, 53(5): 749-761. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2024171
Abstract:
Accurate state estimation and prediction of lithium-ion battery are crucial for ensuring operational performance and safety. Data-driven state estimation algorithms are prone to the distribution shift between training data and testing data, limiting their generalization capabilities. Transfer-learning-based cross-domain state estimation algorithms are proposed to address these issues. This paper discusses around three common application scenarios: state of charge estimation, state of health estimation, and remaining useful life estimation. While comparing the differences between methods across various scenarios, the review also reveals their commonalities. From a technical perspective, this paper categorizes commonly used transfer methods into three types: finetuning-based transfer, metric-based transfer, and adversarial training-based transfer. Based on these technical approaches, this paper provides a comprehensive and clear summary of recent cross-domain lithium-ion battery state estimation methods.
Cross-Lingual Summarization Method Based on Joint Training and Self-Training in Low-Resource Scenarios
CHENG Shaohuan, TANG Yujia, LIU Qiao, CHEN Wenyu
2024, 53(5): 762-770. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2024173
Abstract:
As globalization continues to develop, cross-lingual summarization has become an important topic in natural language processing. In low-resource scenarios, existing methods face challenges such as limited representation transfer and insufficient data utilization. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel method based on joint training and self-training. Specifically, two models are used to handle the translation and cross-lingual summarization tasks, respectively, which unify the language vector space of the output and avoid the issue of limited representation transfer. Additionally, joint training is performed by aligning the output features and probabilities of parallel training pairs, thereby enhancing semantic sharing between the models. Furthermore, based on joint training, a self-training technique is introduced to generate synthetic data from additional monolingual summary data, effectively mitigating the data scarcity issue of low-resource scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that this method outperforms existing approaches in multiple low-resource scenarios, achieving significant improvements in ROUGE scores.

2024, 53(5): 771-784. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2024215
Abstract:
Emotion recognition, endowing computers with the ability to perceive emotions, is a focal point of interest in various fields, including computer science, psychology, sociology, biomedical engineering, and more. EEG network analysis methods are widely used in the neuroimaging field for neurocognitive analysis. These methods capture interactions between/among different brain regions to construct brain networks, thereby describing the information flow and functional collaboration across various brain areas. Given that emotional functions inherently involve the cooperation of multiple brain regions, EEG network analysis methods excel in capturing inter-regional information interactions, making them highly effective in emotion recognition. This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the research background, principles, methods, and current status of EEG network-based emotion recognition. Additionally, the existing challenges and future development trends in this research area are discussed.

WANG Pu, WANG Tianhao, LI Minglun, GUO Bao, WU Zijian, XIAO Jianhe
2024, 53(5): 785-791. doi: 10.12178/1001-0548.2023121
Abstract:
In order to alleviate traffic congestion on freeways, national highways and provincial highways are used to achieve traffic diversion, and a targeted route guidance strategy is implemented. A hybrid routing model for regional multi-layer transportation network is established, which considers the congested driver sources. Firstly, a regional multi-layer transportation network composed of Hunan freeway, national highway and provincial highway is constructed, and the link weight is calibrated. Next, the congested driver sources are located, a hybrid routing model is established by considering the congested driver sources, and the targeted routing guidance is implemented for vehicles from the congested driver sources, so as to reduce the impact on travelers as much as possible while ensuring the mitigation effect of traffic congestion. Results show that the proposed route guidance model can effectively achieve traffic diversion and reduce the average travel time of vehicles in the multi-layer transportation network. In practical applications, the route guidance information can be only sent to a few drivers to reduce the difficulty of model implementation. The acceptance rate of drivers to the suggested routes can be analyzed to develop appropriate plans for disseminating route guidance information.
