MCViM-YOLO: Remote Sensing Vehicle Detection for Sustainable Intelligent Transportation
Vehicle detection is a core task in smart city perception management and an important technical support for sustainable urban development and intelligent transportation optimization. In high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing images, it faces challenges such as variable target scales, severe occlusion, and difficulty in modeling long-range dependencies. To address these issues, this study proposes the MCViM-YOLO algorithm, which integrates the local perception advantage of convolution with the global modeling capability of the state space model (Mamba). Based on YOLOv12, the algorithm reconstructs the neck network: it introduces the Mix-Mamba module (parallel multi-scale convolution and selective state space model) to simultaneously capture local details and global spatial dependencies, adopts the dual-factor calibration fusion module (DCFM) to adaptively fuse heterogeneous features, and employs a dual-branch attention detection head (DADH) to optimize the prediction of difficult samples (e.g., occluded, small-scale vehicles). Experiments on the VEBAI dataset demonstrate that our proposed model achieves an mAP@0.5 of 92.391% and a recall rate of 86.070%, with a computational complexity of 10.41 GFLOPs. The results show that the proposed method effectively improves the accuracy and efficiency of vehicle detection in complex remote sensing scenarios, provides technical support for traffic flow monitoring, low-carbon urban planning, and other sustainable applications, and offers an innovative paradigm for the deep integration of CNN and state space models with both theoretical research value and engineering application prospects.

Robust Detection and Localization of Image Copy-Move Forgery Using Multi-Feature Fusion
Copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) is a crucial image forensics analysis technique. The rapid development of deep learning algorithms has led to impressive advancements in CMFD. However, existing models suffer from two key limitations: Their feature fusion modules insufficiently exploit the complementary nature of features from the RGB domain and noise domain, resulting in suboptimal feature representations. During decoding, they simply classify pixels as authentic or forged, without aggregating cross-layer information or integrating local and global attention mechanisms, leading to unsatisfactory detection precision. To overcome these limitations, a robust detection and localization approach to image copy-move forgery using multi-feature fusion is proposed. Firstly, a Multi-Feature Fusion Network (MFFNet) was designed. Within its feature fusion module, features from both the RGB domain and noise domain were fused to enable mutual complementarity between distinct characteristics, yielding richer feature information. Then, a Lightweight Multi-layer Perceptron Decoder (LMPD) was developed for image reconstruction and forgery localization map generation. Finally, by aggregating information from different layers and combining local and global attention mechanisms, more accurate prediction masks were obtained. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MFFNet model exhibits enhanced robustness and superior detection and localization performance compared to existing methods when faced with JPEG compression, noise addition, and resizing operations.

Distinguishability-Driven Voice Generation for Speaker Anonymization via Random Projection and GMM
Speaker anonymization effectively conceals speaker identity in speech signals to protect privacy. To address issues in existing anonymization systems, including reduced voice distinguishability, limited anonymized voices, reliance on an external speaker pool, and vulnerability to privacy leakage against strong attackers, a novel distinguishability-driven voice generation for speaker anonymization via random projection and the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is proposed. This method first applies the random projection to lower the dimensionality of the X-vectors from an external speaker pool, and then constructs a GMM in the reduced dimensional space to fit the generative model. By sampling from this generative model, anonymous speaker identity representations are generated, ultimately synthesizing anonymized speech that maintains both intelligibility and distinguishability. To ensure the anonymized speech remains sufficiently distinguishable from the original and prevents excessive similarity, a cosine similarity check is implemented between the original X-vector and pseudo-X-vector. Experimental results on the VoicePrivacy Challenge datasets demonstrate that the proposed method not only effectively protects speaker privacy across different attack scenarios but also preserves speech content integrity while significantly enhancing speaker distinguishability between original speakers and their corresponding pseudo-speakers, as well as among different pseudo-speakers.

A Monte Carlo Tree Search with Reinforcement Learning and Graph Relational Attention Network for Dynamic Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem
The dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problem (DFJSP) with machine faults, considering the recovery condition and variable processing time, is studied to determine the rescheduling scheme when machine faults occur in real time. The Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm with reinforcement learning and the relational-enhanced graph attention network (MGRL) is presented to address the DFJSP with machine faults, considering the recovery condition and variable processing time. The MCTS with the skip-node restart strategy, which utilizes local optimal solutions found during the Monte Carlo sampling process, is designed to enhance the optimization efficiency of MCTS in real time. A relational graph attention network (RGAT), a relational-enhanced and transformer-integrated graph network in the MGRL, is designed to analyze the scheduling disjunctive graph, guide the Monte Carlo sampling method to improve sampling efficiency, and enhance the quality of MCTS optimization decisions. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the RGAT and the skip-node restart strategy. Further application analysis results show that the MGRL is optimal among all comparison methods when algorithms solve the DFJSP.

CAFE-Dance: A Culture-Aware Generative Framework for Chinese Folk and Ethnic Dance Synthesis via Self-Supervised Cultural Learning
As a vital carrier of human intangible culture, dance plays an important role in cultural transmission through digital generation. However, existing dance generation methods rely heavily on high-precision motion capture and manually annotated datasets, and they fail to effectively model the culturally distinctive movements of Chinese ethnic folk dance, resulting in semantic distortion and cross-modal mismatch. Building on the Chinese traditional ethnic Helou Dance, this paper proposes a culture-aware Chinese ethnic folk dance generation framework, CAFE-Dance, which dispenses with manual annotation and automatically generates dance sequences that achieve high cultural fidelity, precise music synchronization, and natural, fluent motion. To address the high cost and poor scalability of cultural annotation, we introduce a Zero-Manual-Label Cultural Data Construction Module (ZDCM) that performs self-supervised cultural learning from raw dance videos, using cross-modal semantic alignment and a knowledge-base-guided automatic annotation mechanism to construct a high-quality dataset of Chinese ethnic folk dance covering 108 classes of curated cultural attributes without any frame-level manual labels. To address the difficulty of modeling cultural semantics and the weak interpretability, we propose a Culture-Aware Attention Mechanism (CAAM) that incorporates cultural gating and co-attention to adaptively enhance culturally key movements. To address the challenge of aligning the music–motion–culture tri-modalities, we propose a Tri-Modal Alignment Network (TMA-Net) that achieves dynamic coupling and temporal synchronization of tri-modal semantics under weak supervision. Experimental results show that our framework improves Beat Alignment and Cultural Accuracy by 4.0–5.0 percentage points and over 30 percentage points, respectively, compared with the strongest baseline (Music2Dance), and it reveals an intrinsic coupling between cultural embedding density and motion stability. The code and the curated Helouwu dataset are publicly available.
