Theoretical and computational frameworks of complexity science are dominated by binary structures. This binary bias, seen in the ubiquity of pair-wise networks and formal binary operations in mathematical models, limits our capacity to faithfully capture irreducible polyadic interactions in higher-order systems. A paradigmatic example of a higher-order interaction is the Borromean link of three interlocking rings. In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework via hypergraphs and hypermatrix algebras that allows to formalize such forms of higher-order bonding and connectivity in a parsimonious way. Our framework builds on and extends current techniques in higher-order networks — still mostly rooted in binary structures such as adjacency matrices — and incorporates recent developments in higher-arity structures to articulate the compositional behavior of adjacency hypermatrices. Irreducible higher-order interactions turn out to be a widespread occurrence across natural sciences and socio-cultural knowledge representation. We demonstrate this by reviewing recent results in computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, social science, and cultural analysis through the conceptual lens of irreducible higher-order interactions. We further speculate that the general phenomenon of emergence in complex systems may be characterized by spatio-temporal discrepancies of interaction arity.

An ego-centric network consists of a particular node (ego) that has relationships to all neighboring nodes (alters) in the network. Such network serves as an important tool to study the network structure of alters of the ego, and it is essential to present such network with good visualization. This work aims at introducing an efficient method, namely the Uniform Placement of Alters on Spherical Surface (U-PASS), to represent an ego-centric network so that all alters are scattered on the surface of the unit sphere uniformly. Unlike other simple uniformity that considers to maximize Euclidean distances among nodes, U-PASS is a three-stage method that spreads the alters with the consideration of existing edges among alters, no overlapping of node clusters, and node attribute information. Particle swarm optimization is employed to improve efficiency in node allocations. To guarantee the uniformity, we show the connection between our U-PASS to the minimum energy design on a two-dimensional flat plane with a specific gradient. Our simulation study shows good performance of U-PASS in terms of some distance statistics when compared to four state-of-the-art methods via self-organizing maps and force-driven approaches. We use a Facebook network to illustrate how this ego-centric network looks different after the alter nodes are allocated via our U-PASS.
以自我为中心的网络由一个特定的节点(自我)组成,该节点与网络中所有相邻节点(改变者)都有关系。这种网络是研究自我改变者网络结构的重要工具,将这种网络以良好的可视化方式呈现是至关重要的。本工作旨在引入一种高效的方法,即U-PASS (Uniform Placement of Alters on Spherical Surface),来表示一个以自我为中心的网络,使所有的Alters均匀地分散在单位球面上。U-PASS方法不同于其他单纯考虑节点间欧氏距离最大化的均匀性方法,U-PASS是一种三阶段的方法,它在考虑了改动之间存在的边、节点簇不重叠、节点属性信息的情况下,将改动展开。采用粒子群算法提高节点分配效率。为了保证均匀性,我们在具有特定梯度的二维平面上展示了我们的U-PASS与最小能量设计之间的联系。我们的仿真研究表明,与通过自组织地图和力驱动方法的四种最先进的方法相比,U-PASS在一些距离统计方面表现良好。我们使用Facebook网络来说明,在通过U-PASS分配节点后,这个以自我为中心的网络看起来是如何不同的。

Static Chinese Sign Language Recognition (SCSLR) is an important field of research in human–computer interaction and assistive technology. Traditional SCSLR methods usually rely on computer vison sensors, which are susceptible to effects such as hand shapes, lighting conditions, and occlusions, resulting in low recognition accuracy. Additionally, sensor-based SCSLR methods cannot achieve high recognition accuracy due to limited hand gesture information. In this paper, we propose a multi-sensor fusion method, using a DE–XGBoost model, to fuse the information of hand gesture and finger curvature to achieve the SCSLR, which can overcome the recognition error problems caused by insufficient sign language information. In addition, we design and implement a prototype system, which consists of a smartphone and a smart glove, to evaluate our proposed method in comparison with support vector machine (SVM), XGBoost, gcForest, and artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves a better performance in terms of accuracy, robustness, and real-time processing.
