Knowledge graph (KG) noise correction aims to select suitable candidates to correct the noises in KGs. Most of the existing studies have limited performance in repairing the noisy triple that contains more than one incorrect entity or relation, which significantly constrains their implementation in real-world KGs. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel end-to-end model (BGAT-CCRF) that achieves better noise correction results.

Nowadays, Deepfake videos are widely spread over the Internet, which severely impairs the public trustworthiness and social security. Although more and more reliable detectors have recently sprung up for resisting against that new-emerging tampering technique, some challengeable issues still need to be addressed, such that most of Deepfake video detectors under the framework of the supervised mechanism require a large scale of samples with accurate labels for training. When the amount of the training samples with the true labels are not enough or the training data are maliciously poisoned by adversaries, the supervised classifier is probably not reliable for detection.

IP geolocation is an important basis of location-based network services, while error estimation is an important basis for judging the reliability of results. Most of the existing IP geolocation algorithms cannot estimate the geolocation error. A few can achieve error estimation through high-precision delay measurement, but their performance is also affected by the common delay inflation in the actual network.

Article Synopsis
  • This study builds on previous findings that human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can help reduce the severity and duration of seizures in picrotoxin-kindled rats.
  • It involved a controlled experiment with 75 Wistar rats divided into five groups to assess the impact of IVIG on seizure activity and the condition of astrocytes in the hippocampus.
  • Results indicated that IVIG pretreatment not only decreased seizure severity and kindling rates but also lowered the number and size of GFAP-positive astrocytes, suggesting IVIG may help manage seizures by modulating astrocyte activation in the brain.
