The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-high-frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) monitoring systems in power transformers for the localization of PD sources can help create a robust and reliable system with high usability and precision. However, training the AI with experimental data or data from electromagnetic simulation is costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, electromagnetic simulations often calculate more data than needed, whereas, for localization, the signal time-of-flight information is the most important. A tailored pathfinding algorithm can bypass the time-consuming and computationally expensive process of simulating or collecting data from experiments and be used to create the necessary training data for an AI-based monitoring system of partial discharges in power transformers. In this contribution, Dijkstra's algorithm is used with additional line-of-sight propagation algorithms to determine the paths of the electromagnetic waves generated by PD sources in a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) model of a 300 MVA power transformer. The time-of-flight information is compared with results from experiments and electromagnetic simulations, and it is found that the algorithm maintains accuracy similar to that of the electromagnetic simulation software, with some under/overestimations in specific scenarios, while being much faster at calculations.

In agriculture, promptly and accurately identifying leaf diseases is crucial for sustainable crop production. To address this requirement, this research introduces a hybrid deep learning model that combines the visual geometric group version 19 (VGG19) architecture features with the transformer encoder blocks. This fusion enables the accurate and précised real-time classification of leaf diseases affecting grape, bell pepper, and tomato plants.

In order to reduce the unpredictability of carbon prices caused by their increasingly prominent environmental and market attributes, and to minimize their negative impact on carbon trading, further research on forecasting models for carbon price is urgently needed. To improve the accuracy of prediction, this paper proposes a carbon price forecasting method based on SSA-NSTransformer. The method includes four main steps: Firstly, decomposition of carbon price signals, using Singular Spectrum Analysis to remove noise signals; Secondly, analysis of influencing factors, using Random Forest to identify and select key influencing factors of carbon price signal components from energy price, financial market, socio-economic, and environmental aspects; Furthermore, influencing factors prediction, considering the impact of different carbon reduction targets and predicting future trends of influencing factors; And finally, carbon price prediction, considering the impact of factors based on multi-stage carbon reduction targets, using Non-stationary Transformer to predict the signal components of carbon prices, reconstructing the carbon price time series, and testing the model accuracy.

Objective: X-ray photon-counting detectors (PCDs) have recently gained popularity due to their capabilities in energy discrimination power, noise suppression, and resolution refinement. The latest extremity photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) scanner leverages these advantages for tissue characterization, material decomposition, beam hardening correction, and metal artifact reduction. However, technical challenges such as charge splitting and pulse pileup can distort the energy spectrum and compromise image quality.

We introduce EmoAtlas, a computational library/framework extracting emotions and syntactic/semantic word associations from texts. EmoAtlas combines interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) for syntactic parsing in 18 languages and psychologically validated lexicons for detecting the eight emotions in Plutchik's theory. We show that EmoAtlas can match or surpass transformer-based natural language processing techniques, BERT or large language models like ChatGPT 3.

Although the Transformer architecture has established itself as the industry standard for jobs involving natural language processing, it still has few uses in computer vision. In vision, attention is used in conjunction with convolutional networks or to replace individual convolutional network elements while preserving the overall network design. Differences between the two domains, such as significant variations in the scale of visual things and the higher granularity of pixels in images compared to words in the text, make it difficult to transfer Transformer from language to vision.
