Query Embedding on Hyper-relational Knowledge Graphs

Multi-hop logical reasoning is an established problem in the field of representation learning on knowledge graphs (KGs). It subsumes both one-hop link prediction as well as other more complex types of logical queries. Existing algorithms operate only on classical, triple-based graphs, whereas modern KGs often employ a hyper-relational modeling paradigm. In this paradigm, typed edges may have several key-value pairs known as qualifiers that provide fine-grained context for facts. In queries, this context modifies the meaning of relations, and usually reduces the answer set. Hyper-relational queries are often observed in real-world KG applications, and existing approaches for approximate query answering cannot make use of qualifier pairs. In this work, we bridge this gap and extend the multi-hop reasoning problem to hyper-relational KGs allowing to tackle this new type of complex queries. Building upon recent advancements in Graph Neural Networks and query embedding techniques, we study how to embed and answer hyper-relational conjunctive queries. Besides that, we propose a method to answer such queries and demonstrate in our experiments that qualifiers improve query answering on a diverse set of query patterns

Fractures in complex fluids: the case of transient networks

We present a comprehensive review of the current state of fracture phenomena in transient networks, a wide class of viscoelastic fluids. We will first define what is a fracture in a complex fluid, and recall the main structural and rheological properties of transient networks. Secondly, we review experimental reports on fractures of transient networks in several configurations: shear-induced fractures, fractures in Hele-Shaw cells and fracture in extensional geometries (filament stretching rheometry and pendant drop experiments), including fracture propagation. The tentative extension of the concepts of brittleness and ductility to the fracture mechanisms in transient networks is also discussed. Finally, the different and apparently contradictory theoretical approaches developed to interpret fracture nucleation will be addressed and confronted to experimental results. Rationalized criteria to discriminate the relevance of these different models will be proposed.Comment: Review; Rheologica Acta 2013 published on lin

Hybrid optimal deep learning with IoT based smart based monitoring and maintenance system for axial flow fan using feature optimization

Axial flow fan is a mechanical fan that generates airflow in the same direction as its rotational axis. These fans find widespread use in various applications, including ventilation, cooling, and air circulation across industrial, commercial, and residential settings. However, designing these fans can be challenging in the fan manufacturing industry due to the need to accommodate diverse operating conditions. This complexity arises from the fact that multiple design parameters significantly influence fan performance, requiring careful consideration and optimization to ensure efficient operation across various scenarios. In this paper, we present a technique for monitoring and maintenance of axial flow fans using hybrid optimal deep learning with IoT system. Our method leverages the pre-trained U-Net architecture to extract hidden features effectively from the dataset. Furthermore, we introduce an improved triple tree-seed optimization (IT2SO) algorithm for feature optimization, which identifies the most optimal features among the extracted ones. To make informed decisions about axial flow fan process monitoring, we propose the deep boosted hybrid learning (DBHL) technique as the decision model to maintain the proper operation. To validate the effectiveness of proposed IT2SO+DBHL technique, we have conducted experiments using the air movement and control association international (AMCA) dataset. The results demonstrate the superior performance of our monitoring approach compared to existing techniques across various evaluation measures

Transient mutation bias increases the predictability of evolution on an empirical genotype-phenotype landscape

Predicting how a population will likely navigate a genotype-phenotype landscape requires consideration of selection in combination with mutation bias, which can skew the likelihood of following a particular trajectory. Strong and persistent directional selection can drive populations to ascend toward a peak. However, with a greater number of peaks and more routes to reach them, adaptation inevitably becomes less predictable. Transient mutation bias, which operates only on one mutational step, can influence landscape navigability by biasing the mutational trajectory early in the adaptive walk. This sets an evolving population upon a particular path, constraining the number of accessible routes and making certain peaks and routes more likely to be realized than others. In this work, we employ a model system to investigate whether such transient mutation bias can reliably and predictably place populations on a mutational trajectory to the strongest selective phenotype or usher populations to realize inferior phenotypic outcomes. For this we use motile mutants evolved from ancestrally non-motile variants of the microbe Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, of which one trajectory exhibits significant mutation bias. Using this system, we elucidate an empirical genotype-phenotype landscape, where the hill-climbing process represents increasing strength of the motility phenotype, to reveal that transient mutation bias can facilitate rapid and predictable ascension to the strongest observed phenotype in place of equivalent and inferior trajectories.

Lost in optimisation of water distribution systems? A literature review of system design

This is the final version of the article. Available from MDPI via the DOI in this record.Optimisation of water distribution system design is a well-established research field, which has been extremely productive since the end of the 1980s. Its primary focus is to minimise the cost of a proposed pipe network infrastructure. This paper reviews in a systematic manner articles published over the past three decades, which are relevant to the design of new water distribution systems, and the strengthening, expansion and rehabilitation of existing water distribution systems, inclusive of design timing, parameter uncertainty, water quality, and operational considerations. It identifies trends and limits in the field, and provides future research directions. Exclusively, this review paper also contains comprehensive information from over one hundred and twenty publications in a tabular form, including optimisation model formulations, solution methodologies used, and other important details

Matter-antimatter asymmetry restrains the dimensionality of neural representations: quantum decryption of large-scale neural coding

Projections from the study of the human universe onto the study of the self-organizing brain are herein leveraged to address certain concerns raised in latest neuroscience research, namely (i) the extent to which neural codes are multidimensional; (ii) the functional role of neural dark matter; (iii) the challenge to traditional model frameworks posed by the needs for accurate interpretation of large-scale neural recordings linking brain and behavior. On the grounds of (hyper-)self-duality under (hyper-)mirror supersymmetry, inter-relativistic quantum principles are introduced, whose consolidation, as spin-geometrical pillars of a network- and game-theoretical construction, is conducive to (i) the high-precision reproduction and reinterpretation of core experimental observations on neural coding in the self-organizing brain, with the instantaneous geometric dimensionality of neural representations of a spontaneous behavioral state being proven to be at most 16, unidirectionally; (ii) a possible role for spinor (co-)representations, as the latent building blocks of self-organizing cortical circuits subserving (co-)behavioral states; (iii) an early crystallization of pertinent multidimensional synaptic (co-)architectures, whereby Lorentz (co-)partitions are in principle verifiable; and, ultimately, (iv) potentially inverse insights into matter-antimatter asymmetry. New avenues for the decryption of large-scale neural coding in health and disease are being discussed.Comment: 33 pages;3 figures;1 table;minor edit
