The notion of causality assumes a paramount position within the realm of human cognition. Over the past few decades, there has been significant advancement in the domain of causal effect estimation across various disciplines, including but not limited to computer science, medicine, economics, and industrial applications. Given the continous advancements in deep learning methodologies, there has been a notable surge in its utilization for the estimation of causal effects using counterfactual data. Typically, deep causal models map the characteristics of covariates to a representation space and then design various objective functions to estimate counterfactual data unbiasedly. Different from the existing surveys on causal models in machine learning, this review mainly focuses on the overview of the deep causal models based on neural networks, and its core contributions are as follows: (1) we cast insight on a comprehensive overview of deep causal models from both timeline of development and method classification perspectives; (2) we outline some typical applications of causal effect estimation to industry; (3) we also endeavor to present a detailed categorization and analysis on relevant datasets, source codes and experiments.

In recent years, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks on network systems have increased through sophisticated fraud tactics. Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) suffer from low detection accuracy, high false-positive rates, and difficulty identifying unknown attacks such as remote-to-local (R2L) and user-to-root (U2R) attacks. This paper addresses these challenges by providing a foundational discussion of APTs and the limitations of existing detection methods. It then pivots to explore the novel integration of deep learning techniques and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) to improve APT detection. This paper aims to fill the gaps in the current research by providing a thorough analysis of how XAI methods, such as Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME), can make black-box models more transparent and interpretable. The objective is to demonstrate the necessity of explainability in APT detection and propose solutions that enhance the trustworthiness and effectiveness of these models. It offers a critical analysis of existing approaches, highlights their strengths and limitations, and identifies open issues that require further research. This paper also suggests future research directions to combat evolving threats, paving the way for more effective and reliable cybersecurity solutions. Overall, this paper emphasizes the importance of explainability in enhancing the performance and trustworthiness of cybersecurity systems.

Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is a fine-grained type of sentiment analysis that identifies aspects and their associated opinions from a given text. With the surge of digital opinionated text data, ABSA gained increasing popularity for its ability to mine more detailed and targeted insights. Many review papers on ABSA subtasks and solution methodologies exist, however, few focus on trends over time or systemic issues relating to research application domains, datasets, and solution approaches. To fill the gap, this paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of ABSA studies with a focus on trends and high-level relationships among these fundamental components. This review is one of the largest SLRs on ABSA. To our knowledge, it is also the first to systematically examine the interrelations among ABSA research and data distribution across domains, as well as trends in solution paradigms and approaches. Our sample includes 727 primary studies screened from 8550 search results without time constraints via an innovative automatic filtering process. Our quantitative analysis not only identifies trends in nearly two decades of ABSA research development but also unveils a systemic lack of dataset and domain diversity as well as domain mismatch that may hinder the development of future ABSA research. We discuss these findings and their implications and propose suggestions for future research.

Similarly, big data applications are software and systems utilizing large and complex datasets to extract insights, support decision-making, and address diverse business and societal challenges. Recently, the significance of big data applications has grown immensely for organizations across diverse sectors as they increasingly rely on insights derived from data. The increasing reliance on data insights has rendered traditional technologies and platforms inefficient due to scalability limitations and performance issues. This study contributes by identifying key domains impacted by big data, examining its effect on decision-making, addressing inherent complexities and opportunities, exploring core technologies, and offering solutions for potential concerns. Additionally, it conducts a comparative analysis to demonstrate the superiority of this research. These contributions provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape shaped by big data applications.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) process the graph-structured data using neural networks and have proven successful in various graph processing tasks. Currently, graph pooling operators have emerged as crucial components that bridge the gap between node representation learning and diverse graph-level tasks by transforming node representations into graph representations. Given the rapid growth and widespread adoption of graph pooling, this review aims to summarize the existing graph pooling operators for GNNs and their representative applications in omics. Specifically, we first present a comprehensive taxonomy of existing graph pooling algorithms, expanding the categorization for both global and hierarchical pooling operators, and for the first time reviewing the inverse operation of graph pooling, named unpooling. Next, we describe the general evaluation framework for graph pooling operators, encompassing three fundamental aspects: experimental setup, ablation analysis, and model interpretation. We also discuss open issues that significantly influence the design of graph pooling operators, including complexity, connectivity, adaptability, additional loss, and attention mechanisms. Finally, we summarize bioinformatics applications of graph pooling operators in omics, including graphs of gene interaction, medical images, and protein structures for drug discovery and disease diagnosis. Furthermore, we showcase the impact of graph pooling operators on research in specific real-world domains, with a focus on prediction performance and model interpretability. This review provides methodological insights in machine learning based graph modeling and related omics research, as well as an ongoing resource by gathering related papers and code in a dedicated GitHub repository (https://github.com/Hou-WJ/Graph-Pooling-Operators-and-Bioinformatics-Applications).

As a popular meta-heuristic algorithm, the Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm has garnered significant interest owing to its high flexibility and straightforward implementation. However, when addressing engineering constraint problems with specific parameters, MFO also exhibits limitations such as fast convergence and a tendency to converge to local optima. In order to address these challenges, this paper introduces an enhanced version of the MFO, EQDXMFO. EQDXMFO integrates a Quality Enhancement (EQ) strategy and a Directional Crossover (DX) mechanism, fortifying the algorithm’s search dynamics. Specifically, the DX mechanism is designed to augment the population’s diversity, enhancing the algorithm’s exploratory potential. Concurrently, the EQ strategy is employed to elevate the solution quality, which in turn refines the convergence precision of the algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of EQDXMFO, experiments are carried out on the test set of the IEEE CEC2017. A total of 5 classical algorithms, five excellent MFO variants, and seven state-of-the-art algorithms are selected for comparison, which confirm the significant advantages of EQDXMFO. Next, EQDXMFO is applied to five complex engineering constraint problems, demonstrating that EQDXMFO can optimize realistic problems. The comprehensive analysis shows that EQDXMFO has strong optimization capabilities and provides methods for research on other complex real-world problems.

Automatic surgical workflow analysis, which aims to recognize the ongoing surgical events in videos, is fundamental for developing context-aware computer-assisted systems. This paper reviews representative surgical workflow recognition algorithms based on deep learning, outlining their merits, limitations, and future research directions. The literature survey was performed on three large bibliographic databases, covering 67 lary sources, which were comparatively analyzed in terms of spatial feature modeling, spatio-temporal feature modeling, input pre-processing, regularization and post-processing algorithms, as well as learning strategies. Then, common public datasets and evaluation metrics for surgical workflow recognition are also described in detail. Finally, we discuss all literature from different perspectives, and point out the challenges, possible solutions and future trends. The need for more diverse and larger datasets, the potential of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning approaches, comprehensive and equitable metrics, establishing complete regulatory and data standards, and interoperability will be key challenges in translating models to clinical operating rooms. And we propose that surgical activity anticipation and employing large language model as training assistant are interesting research directions in surgical workflow analysis.

Over the past few decades, numerous studies have focused on identifying and recognizing human actions using machine learning and computer vision techniques. Video-based human action recognition (HAR) aims to detect actions from video sequences automatically. This can cover simple gestures to complex actions involving multiple people interacting with objects. Actions in team sports exhibit a different nature compared to other sports, since they tend to occur at a faster pace and involve more human-human interactions. As a result, research has typically not focused on the challenges of HAR in team sports. This paper comprehensively summarises HAR-related research and applications with specific focus on team sports such as football (soccer), basketball and Australian rules football. Key datasets used for HAR-related team sports research are explored. Finally, common challenges and future work are discussed, and possible research directions identified.
