To address the limitations of traditional two-stream networks, such as inadequate spatiotemporal information fusion, limited feature diversity, and insufficient accuracy, we propose an improved two-stream network for human action recognition based on multi-scale attention Transformer and 3D convolutional (C3D) fusion. In the temporal stream, the traditional 2D convolutional is replaced with a C3D network to effectively capture temporal dynamics and spatial features. In the spatial stream, a multi-scale convolutional Transformer encoder is introduced to extract features. Leveraging the multi-scale attention mechanism, the model captures and enhances features at various scales, which are then adaptively fused using a weighted strategy to improve feature representation. Furthermore, through extensive experiments on feature fusion methods, the optimal fusion strategy for the two-stream network is identified. Experimental results on benchmark datasets such as UCF101 and HMDB51 demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior performance in action recognition tasks. Full article

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is important in facilitating natural human–computer interactions. In speech sequence modeling, a vital challenge is to learn context-aware sentence expression and temporal dynamics of paralinguistic features to achieve unambiguous emotional semantic understanding. In previous studies, the SER method based on the single-scale cascade feature extraction module could not effectively preserve the temporal structure of speech signals in the deep layer, downgrading the sequence modeling performance. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel multi-scale feature pyramid network. The enhanced multi-scale convolutional neural networks (MSCNNs) significantly improve the ability to extract multi-granular emotional features. Experimental results on the IEMOCAP corpus demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, achieving a weighted accuracy (WA) of 71.79% and an unweighted accuracy (UA) of 73.39%. Furthermore, on the RAVDESS dataset, the model achieves an unweighted accuracy (UA) of 86.5%. These results validate the system’s performance and highlight its competitive advantage. Full article

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have achieved remarkable success in various tasks, including image generation, editing, and reconstruction, as well as in unsupervised and representation learning. Despite their impressive capabilities, GANs are often plagued by challenges such as unstable training dynamics and limitations in generating complex patterns. To address these challenges, we propose a novel image style transfer method, named C3GAN, which leverages CycleGAN architecture to achieve consistent and stable transformation of image style. In this context, “image style” refers to the distinct visual characteristics or artistic elements, such as the color schemes, textures, and brushstrokes that define the overall appearance of an image. Our method incorporates cyclic consistency, ensuring that the style transformation remains coherent and visually appealing, thus enhancing the training stability and overcoming the generative limitations of traditional GAN models. Additionally, we have developed a robust and efficient image style transfer system by integrating Flask for web development and MySQL for database management. Our system demonstrates superior performance in transferring complex styles compared to existing model-based approaches. This paper presents the development of a comprehensive image style transfer system based on our advanced C3GAN model, effectively addressing the challenges of GANs and expanding application potential in domains such as artistic creation and cinematic special effects.

The empowerment of educational reform and innovation through AI technology has become a topic of increasing interest in the field of education. The advent of AI technology has made comprehensive and in-depth teaching evaluation possible, serving as a significant driving force for efficient and precise teaching. There were few empirical studies on the application of high-quality precision teaching models in the field of compulsory education, and the learning difficulty of technology and the teaching burden on teachers have become significant factors hindering the use of technology to support education. This study analyzed teaching models from the perspectives of teachers’ teaching burdens and students’ learning obstacles, and was committed to relying on intelligent technology to construct a new precision teaching model, an educational diagnosis–feedback–intervention path that covered the entire teaching process, from the dimensions of teacher behavior, student behavior, and parent behavior, aiming to assist teachers in efficient teaching and students in personalized learning. This study was conducted with nine science classes, including about 540 people in the second year of high school at a Middle School in China; six classes were the intervention groups while the last three classes were control groups, and a survey of 19 teachers from the intervention classes was carried out. The results showed that this model can significantly improve students’ academic performance in science subjects, especially in mathematics and chemistry. It has increased the proportion of high-achieving students, reduced the proportion of low-achieving students, stimulated students’ self-directed learning ability, cultivated a positive attitude towards science learning, and explained the key points of using a precision teaching model in different disciplines. It has achieved a deep integration of education and technology, helping to increase the efficiency and reduce the burden of teaching. Full article
