Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances the response quality and domain-specific performance of large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge to combat hallucinations. In recent research, graph structures have been integrated into RAG to enhance the capture of semantic relations between entities. However, it primarily focuses on low-order pairwise entity relations, limiting the high-order associations among multiple entities. Hypergraph-enhanced approaches address this limitation by modeling multi-entity interactions via hyperedges, but they are typically constrained to inter-chunk entity-level representations, overlooking the global thematic organization and alignment across chunks. Drawing inspiration from the top-down cognitive process of human reasoning, we propose a theme-aligned dual-hypergraph RAG framework (Cog-RAG) that uses a theme hypergraph to capture inter-chunk thematic structure and an entity hypergraph to model high-order semantic relations. Furthermore, we design a cognitive-inspired two-stage retrieval strategy that first activates query-relevant thematic content from the theme hypergraph, and then guides fine-grained recall and diffusion in the entity hypergraph, achieving semantic alignment and consistent generation from global themes to local details. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that Cog-RAG significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art baseline approaches.

In recent years, few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) has become an important research focus in remote sensing scene classification (RSSC). FSCIL aims to design efficient feature representation and learning strategies to accurately learn the characteristics of novel classes while maintaining the classification performance of base classes. To this end, we propose the Prompt-Guided Dynamic Feature Integration Network (PDFIN). The method uses prompt encoder to dynamically generate prompt vectors, enhancing the Vision Transformer (ViT)’s ability to learn novel classes. The method utilizes Global-Local Feature Enhancement (GLFE) and Dynamic Gated Fusion (DGF) to extract and integrate multiscale features, improving feature discriminability and robustness. A dynamic adaptive classification head ensures effective adaptation to incremental categories, achieving precise remote sensing scene classification. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets for RSSC demonstrate that PDFIN achieves significant improvements compared to existing state-of-the-art few-shot class-incremental remote sensing scene classification(FSCIL-RSSC) methods.

Fault diagnosis is crucial in mechanical prognostics and health management. However, fault features extracted from single-sensor data are limited in complex operating environments. Extracting complementary and robust fault features from multi-sensor monitoring data is essential, especially under limited labeled samples. Leveraging the advantages of self-supervised learning, we propose a novel cross-sensor self-supervised learning (CSSL) method for rotating machinery fault diagnosis under limited sample conditions. Our method employs contrastive learning across multiple sensors, including both intra-sensor and inter-sensor contrastive learning, to derive robust cross-sensor fault representations. The efficacy of our approach is substantiated on two benchmark datasets, revealing superior classification performance. Furthermore, the experimental results under various operating conditions demonstrate outstanding performance and solid robustness.

Point cloud registration is a critical issue in 3D reconstruction and computer vision, particularly challenging in cases of low overlap and different datasets, where algorithm generalization and robustness are pressing challenges. In this paper, we propose a point cloud registration algorithm called Neighborhood Multi-compound Transformer (NMCT). To capture local information, we introduce Neighborhood Position Encoding for the first time. By employing a nearest neighbor approach to select spatial points, this encoding enhances the algorithm’s ability to extract relevant local feature information and local coordinate information from dispersed points within the point cloud. Furthermore, NMCT utilizes the Multi-compound Transformer as the interaction module for point cloud information. In this module, the Spatial Transformer phase engages in local-global fusion learning based on Neighborhood Position Encoding, facilitating the extraction of internal features within the point cloud. The Temporal Transformer phase, based on Neighborhood Position Encoding, performs local position-local feature interaction, achieving local and global interaction between two point cloud. The combination of these two phases enables NMCT to better address the complexity and diversity of point cloud data. The algorithm is extensively tested on different datasets (3DMatch, ModelNet, KITTI, MVP-RG), demonstrating outstanding generalization and robustness.

Most existing polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification methods are only valid under the assumption of identical imaging platforms and terrain categories for both training and test sets. To overcome this limitation, we propose a meta-graph representation learning (MGRL) method for PolSAR image classification with cross-platform and cross-category implementation. First, an integrated network is developed to learn the global-local representations of PolSAR images, which consists of a trumpet convolutional network (TCN) to learn the local scattering features of pixels and a graph convolutional network (GCN) for modeling the global structure of polarization information. Then, a comprehensive and transferable embedding of pixels is derived by collaborative optimization on multiple meta-learning tasks, which enables MGRL to recognize new classes not seen during training. Thus, the learned transferable representations can be quickly adapted to cross-platform and cross-category tasks with few labeled samples. Extensive experiments on several live airborne and spaceborne PolSAR datasets validate the effectiveness and advantages of MGRL over its counterparts.
