SCRO: A Domain Ontology for Describing Steel Cold Rolling Processes towards Industry 4.0
This paper introduces the Steel Cold Rolling Ontology (SCRO) to model and capture domain knowledge of cold rolling processes and activities within a steel plant. A case study is set up that uses real-world cold rolling data sets to validate the performance and functionality of SCRO. This includes using the Ontop framework to deploy virtual knowledge graphs for data access, data integration, data querying, and condition-based maintenance purposes. SCRO is evaluated using OOPS!, the ontology pitfall detection system, and feedback from domain experts from Tata Steel
Semantic Asset Administration Shells in Industry 4.0: A Survey
The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is a fundamental concept in the Reference Architecture Model for Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0), that provides a virtual and digital representation of all information and functions of a physical asset in a manufacturing environment. Recently, Semantic AASs have emerged that add knowledge representation formalisms to enhance the digital representation of physical assets. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the scientific contributions to Semantic AASs that model the Information and Communication Layer within RAMI 4.0, and summarise and demonstrate their structure, communication, functionalities, and use cases. We also highlight the challenges of future development of Semantic AASs
Exchanging-based Multimodal Fusion with Transformer
We study the problem of multimodal fusion in this paper. Recent
exchanging-based methods have been proposed for vision-vision fusion, which aim
to exchange embeddings learned from one modality to the other. However, most of
them project inputs of multimodalities into different low-dimensional spaces
and cannot be applied to the sequential input data. To solve these issues, in
this paper, we propose a novel exchanging-based multimodal fusion model MuSE
for text-vision fusion based on Transformer. We first use two encoders to
separately map multimodal inputs into different low-dimensional spaces. Then we
employ two decoders to regularize the embeddings and pull them into the same
space. The two decoders capture the correlations between texts and images with
the image captioning task and the text-to-image generation task, respectively.
Further, based on the regularized embeddings, we present CrossTransformer,
which uses two Transformer encoders with shared parameters as the backbone
model to exchange knowledge between multimodalities. Specifically,
CrossTransformer first learns the global contextual information of the inputs
in the shallow layers. After that, it performs inter-modal exchange by
selecting a proportion of tokens in one modality and replacing their embeddings
with the average of embeddings in the other modality. We conduct extensive
experiments to evaluate the performance of MuSE on the Multimodal Named Entity
Recognition task and the Multimodal Sentiment Analysis task. Our results show
the superiority of MuSE against other competitors. Our code and data are

WavJourney: Compositional Audio Creation with Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown great promise in integrating diverse
expert models to tackle intricate language and vision tasks. Despite their
significance in advancing the field of Artificial Intelligence Generated
Content (AIGC), their potential in intelligent audio content creation remains
unexplored. In this work, we tackle the problem of creating audio content with
storylines encompassing speech, music, and sound effects, guided by text
instructions. We present WavJourney, a system that leverages LLMs to connect
various audio models for audio content generation. Given a text description of
an auditory scene, WavJourney first prompts LLMs to generate a structured
script dedicated to audio storytelling. The audio script incorporates diverse
audio elements, organized based on their spatio-temporal relationships. As a
conceptual representation of audio, the audio script provides an interactive
and interpretable rationale for human engagement. Afterward, the audio script
is fed into a script compiler, converting it into a computer program. Each line
of the program calls a task-specific audio generation model or computational
operation function (e.g., concatenate, mix). The computer program is then
executed to obtain an explainable solution for audio generation. We demonstrate
the practicality of WavJourney across diverse real-world scenarios, including
science fiction, education, and radio play. The explainable and interactive
design of WavJourney fosters human-machine co-creation in multi-round
dialogues, enhancing creative control and adaptability in audio production.
WavJourney audiolizes the human imagination, opening up new avenues for
creativity in multimedia content creation.Comment: Project Page: https://audio-agi.github.io/WavJourney_demopage
Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome
The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead
Technologies sémantiques pour la modélisation de la maintenance prédictive pour un réseau de PME dans le cadre de l'industrie 4.0
In the manufacturing domain, the detection of anomalies such as mechanical faults and failures enables the launching of predictive maintenance tasks, which aim to predict future faults, errors, and failures and also enable maintenance actions. With the trend of Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance tasks are benefiting from advanced technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing. These advanced technologies enable the collection and processing of sensor data that contain measurements of physical signals of machinery, such as temperature, voltage, and vibration. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of industrial data, sometimes the knowledge extracted from industrial data is presented in a complex structure. Therefore formal knowledge representation methods are required to facilitate the understanding and exploitation of the knowledge. Furthermore, as the CPSs are becoming more and more knowledge-intensive, uniform knowledge representation of physical resources and reasoning capabilities for analytic tasks are needed to automate the decision-making processes in CPSs. These issues bring obstacles to machine operators to perform appropriate maintenance actions. To address the aforementioned challenges, in this thesis, we propose a novel semantic approach to facilitate predictive maintenance tasks in manufacturing processes. In particular, we propose four main contributions: i) a three-layered ontological framework that is the core component of a knowledge-based predictive maintenance system; ii) a novel hybrid semantic approach to automate machinery failure prediction tasks, which is based on the combined use of chronicles (a more descriptive type of sequential patterns) and semantic technologies; iii) a new approach that uses clustering methods with Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) rules to assess failures according to their criticality levels; iv) a novel rule base refinement approach that uses rule quality measures as references to refine a rule base within a knowledge-based predictive maintenance system. These approaches have been validated on both real-world and synthetic data sets.Dans le domaine de la fabrication, la détection d’anomalies telles que les défauts et les défaillances mécaniques permet de lancer des tâches de maintenance prédictive, qui visent à prévoir les défauts, les erreurs et les défaillances futurs et à permettre des actions de maintenance. Avec la tendance de l’industrie 4.0, les tâches de maintenance prédictive bénéficient de technologies avancées telles que les systèmes cyberphysiques (CPS), l’Internet des objets (IoT) et l’informatique dématérialisée (cloud computing). Ces technologies avancées permettent la collecte et le traitement de données de capteurs qui contiennent des mesures de signaux physiques de machines, tels que la température, la tension et les vibrations. Cependant, en raison de la nature hétérogène des données industrielles, les connaissances extraites des données industrielles sont parfois présentées dans une structure complexe. Des méthodes formelles de représentation des connaissances sont donc nécessaires pour faciliter la compréhension et l’exploitation des connaissances. En outre, comme les CPSs sont de plus en plus axées sur la connaissance, une représentation uniforme de la connaissance des ressources physiques et des capacités de raisonnement pour les tâches analytiques est nécessaire pour automatiser les processus de prise de décision dans les CPSs. Ces problèmes constituent des obstacles pour les opérateurs de machines qui doivent effectuer des opérations de maintenance appropriées. Pour relever les défis susmentionnés, nous proposons dans cette thèse une nouvelle approche sémantique pour faciliter les tâches de maintenance prédictive dans les processus de fabrication. En particulier, nous proposons quatre contributions principales: i) un cadre ontologique à trois niveaux qui est l’élément central d’un système de maintenance prédictive basé sur la connaissance; ii) une nouvelle approche sémantique hybride pour automatiser les tâches de prédiction des pannes de machines, qui est basée sur l’utilisation combinée de chroniques (un type plus descriptif de modèles séquentiels) et de technologies sémantiques; iii) a new approach that uses clustering methods with Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) rules to assess failures according to their criticality levels; iv) une nouvelle approche d’affinement de la base de règles qui utilise des mesures de qualité des règles comme références pour affiner une base de règles dans un système de maintenance prédictive basé sur la connaissance. Ces approches ont été validées sur des ensembles de données réelles et synthétiques
