The COVID-19 pandemic has reached 40 million confirmed cases worldwide. Given its rapid progression, it is important to examine its origins to better understand how people's knowledge, attitudes, and reactions have evolved over time. One method is to use data mining of social media conversations related to information exposure and self-reported user experiences.
This study aims to characterize the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of social media users located at the initial epicenter of the outbreak by analyzing data from the Sina Weibo platform in Chinese.
We used web scraping to collect public Weibo posts from December 31, 2019, to January 20, 2020, from users located in Wuhan City that contained COVID-19-related keywords. We then manually annotated all posts using an inductive content coding approach to identify specific information sources and key themes including news and knowledge about the outbreak, public sentiment, and public reaction to control and response measures.
We identified 10,159 e sentiment after being exposed to information, and public reaction that translated to self-reported behavior. These findings provide early insight into changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about COVID-19, and have the potential to inform future outbreak communication, response, and policy making in China and beyond.
Between the announcement of pneumonia and respiratory illness of unknown origin in late December 2019 and the discovery of human-to-human transmission on January 20, 2020, we observed a high volume of public anxiety and confusion about COVID-19, including different reactions to the news by users, negative sentiment after being exposed to information, and public reaction that translated to self-reported behavior. These findings provide early insight into changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about COVID-19, and have the potential to inform future outbreak communication, response, and policy making in China and beyond.Dynamic memristor (DM)-cellular neural networks (CNNs), which replace a linear resistor with flux-controlled memristor in the architecture of each cell of traditional CNNs, have attracted researchers' attention. Compared with common neural networks, the DM-CNNs have an outstanding merit when a steady state is reached, all voltages, currents, and power consumption of DM-CNNs disappeared, in the meantime, the memristor can store the computation results by serving as nonvolatile memories. The previous study on stability of DM-CNNs rarely considered time delay, while delay is quite common and highly impacts the stability of the system. Thus, taking the time delay effect into consideration, we extend the original system to DM-D(delay)CNNs model. By using the Lyapunov method and the matrix theory, some new sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability with a known convergence rate of DM-DCNNs are obtained. check details These criteria generalized some known conclusions and are easily verified. Moreover, we find DM-DCNNs have 3ⁿ equilibrium points (EPs) and 2ⁿ of them are locally asymptotically stable. These results are obtained via a given constitutive relation of memristor and the appropriate division of state space. Combine with these theoretical results, the applications of DM-DCNNs can be extended to other fields, such as associative memory, and its advantage can be used in a better way. Finally, numerical simulations are offered to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.This article proposes a fuzzy logic-based energy-management system (FEMS) for a grid-connected microgrid with renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage system (ESS). The objectives of the FEMS are reducing the average peak load (APL) and operating cost through arbitrage operation of the ESS. These objectives are achieved by controlling the charge and discharge rate of the ESS based on the state of charge of ESS, the power difference between load and RES, and electricity market price. The effectiveness of the fuzzy logic greatly depends on the membership functions (MFs). The fuzzy MFs of the FEMS are optimized offline using a Pareto-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The best compromise solution is selected as the final solution and implemented in the fuzzy-logic controller. A comparison with other control strategies with similar objectives is carried out at a simulation level. The proposed FEMS is experimentally validated on a real microgrid in the energy storage test bed at Newcastle University, U.K.Visual question answering (VQA) has gained increasing attention in both natural language processing and computer vision. The attention mechanism plays a crucial role in relating the question to meaningful image regions for answer inference. However, most existing VQA methods 1) learn the attention distribution either from free-form regions or detection boxes in the image, which is intractable in answering questions about the foreground object and background form, respectively and 2) neglect the prior knowledge of human attention and learn the attention distribution with an unguided strategy. To fully exploit the advantages of attention, the learned attention distribution should focus more on the question-related image regions, such as human attention for both the questions, about the foreground object and background form. To achieve this, this article proposes a novel VQA model, called adversarial learning of supervised attentions (ALSAs). Specifically, two supervised attention modules 1) free form-based and 2) detection-based, are designed to exploit the prior knowledge for attention distribution learning. To effectively learn the correlations between the question and image from different views, that is, free-form regions and detection boxes, an adversarial learning mechanism is implemented as an interplay between two supervised attention modules. The adversarial learning reinforces the two attention modules mutually to make the learned multiview features more effective for answer inference. The experiments performed on three commonly used VQA datasets confirm the favorable performance of ALSA.
