The massive number of research articles on the Web makes it troublesome for researchers to identify related works that could meet their preferences and interests. Consequently, various network representation learning-based models have been proposed to produce citation recommendations. Nevertheless, these models do not exploit semantic relations and contextual information between the objects of bibliographic papers' networks, which can result in inadequate citation recommendations. Moreover, existing citation recommendation methods face problems such as lack of personalization, cold-start, and network sparsity. To mitigate such problems and produce individualized citation recommendations, we propose a heterogeneous network embedding model that jointly learns node representations by exploiting semantics corresponding to the author, time, context, field of study, citations, and topics. Compared to baseline models, the results produced by the proposed model over the DBLP datasets prove 10% and 12% improvement on mean average precision (MAP) and normalized discounted cumulative gain (nDCG@10) metrics, respectively. Also, the effectiveness of our model is analyzed on the cold-start papers and network sparsity problems, where it gains 12% and 9% better MAP and recall@10 scores, respectively.

• Smoke detection and localization in both clear and hazy outdoor environments. • Using a lightweight CNN architecture called EfficientNet for smoke detection. • Employing DeepLabv3+ semantic segmentation architecture for smoke localization. • Pixel-wise annotation of a new benchmark dataset for smoke semantic segmentation. • Outperformed existing smoke detection and segmentation methods. Fire disaster throughout the globe causes social, environmental, and economical damage, making its early detection and instant reporting essential for saving human lives and properties. Smoke detection plays a key role in early fire detection but majority of the existing methods are limited to either indoor or outdoor surveillance environments, with poor performance for hazy scenarios. In this paper, we present a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based smoke detection and segmentation framework for both clear and hazy environments. Unlike existing methods, we employ an efficient CNN architecture, termed EfficientNet, for smoke detection with better accuracy. We also segment the smoke regions using DeepLabv3+, which is supported by effective encoders and decoders along with a pixel-wise classifier for optimum localization. Our smoke detection results evince a noticeable gain up to 3% in accuracy and a decrease of 0.46% in False Alarm Rate (FAR), while segmentation reports a significant increase of 2% and 1% in global accuracy and mean Intersection over Union (IoU) scores, respectively. This makes our method a best fit for smoke detection and segmentation in real-world surveillance settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
