  • Publication number: 20250069034
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of metallurgical automation technologies, and discloses a method and device for cross-process use of cold/hot-rolled excess material, medium, and program product. The method is applied in an electronic device. In this method, multiple futures contracts and multiple cold/hot-rolled excess materials with same steel grade are obtained, forming at least one matching pair consisting of a futures contract and a cold/hot-rolled excess material by taking the multiple futures contracts and the multiple cold/hot-rolled excess materials as nodes in a weighted binary graph, to construct a matching relationship graph. In addition, a matching weight of each matching pair in the at least one matching pair is determined. Then, a use solution is obtained by computing the matching relationship graph based on a binary graph maximum weight matching algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20250054115
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments are directed to resizing, via down-sampling and up-sampling, a high-resolution input image in order to meet machine learning model low-resolution processing requirements, while also producing a high-resolution output image for image inpainting via a machine learning model. Some embodiments use a refinement model to refine the low-resolution inpainting result from the machine learning model such that there will be clear content with high resolution both inside and outside of the mask region in the output. Some embodiments employ new model architecture for the machine learning model that produces the inpainting result—an advanced Cascaded Modulated Generative Adversarial Network (CM-GAN) that includes Fast Fourier Convolution (FCC) layers at the skip connections between the encoder and decoder.
