At the current stage of autonomous driving, monitoring the behavior of safety stewards (drivers) is crucial to establishing liability in the event of an accident. However, there is currently no method for the quantitative assessment of safety steward behavior that is trusted by multiple stakeholders. In recent years, deep-learning-based methods can automatically detect abnormal behaviors with surveillance video, and blockchain as a decentralized and tamper-resistant distributed ledger technology is very suitable as a tool for providing evidence when determining liability. In this paper, a trusted supervision paradigm for autonomous driving (TSPAD) based on multimodal data authentication is proposed. Specifically, this paradigm consists of a deep learning model for driving abnormal behavior detection based on key frames adaptive selection and a blockchain system for multimodal data on-chaining and certificate storage. First, the deep-learning-based detection model enables the quantification of abnormal driving behavior and the selection of key frames. Second, the key frame selection and image compression coding balance the trade-off between the amount of information and efficiency in multiparty data sharing. Third, the blockchain-based data encryption sharing strategy ensures supervision and mutual trust among the regulatory authority, the logistic platform, and the enterprise in the driving process.

Predicting stock trends in financial markets is of significant importance to investors and portfolio managers. In addition to a stock’s historical price information, the correlation between that stock and others can also provide valuable information for forecasting future returns. Existing methods often fall short of straightforward and effective capture of the intricate interdependencies between stocks. In this research, we introduce the concept of a Laplacian correlation graph (LOG), designed to explicitly model the correlations in stock price changes as the edges of a graph. After constructing the LOG, we will build a machine learning model, such as a graph attention network (GAT), and incorporate the LOG into the loss term. This innovative loss term is designed to empower the neural network to learn and leverage price correlations among different stocks in a straightforward but effective manner. The advantage of a Laplacian matrix is that matrix operation form is more suitable for current machine learning frameworks, thus achieving high computational efficiency and simpler model representation. Experimental results demonstrate improvements across multiple evaluation metrics using our LOG. Incorporating our LOG into five base machine learning models consistently enhances their predictive performance. Furthermore, backtesting results reveal superior returns and information ratios, underscoring the practical implications of our approach for real-world investment decisions. Our study addresses the limitations of existing methods that miss the correlation between stocks or fail to model correlation in a simple and effective way, and the proposed LOG emerges as a promising tool for stock returns prediction, offering enhanced predictive accuracy and improved investment outcomes.

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) demands significant data and computational resources that have an adverse impact on the environment. To address this issue, a novel computing architecture that is both energy efficient and eco-friendly is urgently required. Edge computing has emerged as an increasingly popular solution to this problem. In this study, we explore the development history of edge computing and AI and analyze the potential of model quantization to link AI and edge computing. Our comparative analysis demonstrates that the quantization approach can effectively reduce the model’s size and accelerate model inference while maintaining its functionality, thereby enabling its deployment on edge devices. This research serves as a valuable guide and reference for future advancements in edge AI. Full article
