Random Ensemble Reinforcement Learning for Traffic Signal Control

Ruijie Qi, Jianbin Huang, He Li et al.

Traffic signal control is a significant part of the construction of intelligent transportation. An efficient traffic signal control strategy can reduce traffic congestion, improve urban road traffic efficiency and facilitate people's lives. Existing reinforcement learning approaches for traffic signal control mainly focus on learning through a separate neural network. Such an independent neural network may fall into the local optimum of the training results. Worse more, the collected data can only be sampled once, so the data utilization rate is low. Therefore, we propose the Random Ensemble Double DQN Light (RELight) model. It can dynamically learn traffic signal control strategies through reinforcement learning and combine random ensemble learning to avoid falling into the local optimum to reach the optimal strategy. Moreover, we introduce the Update-To-Data (UTD) ratio to control the number of data reuses to improve the problem of low data utilization. In addition, we have conducted sufficient experiments on synthetic data and real-world data to prove that our proposed method can achieve better traffic signal control effects than the existing optimal methods.

PhishSigma++: Malicious Email Detection with Typed Entity Relations

Shang Shang, Ruiqi Wang, Ruijie Qi et al.

Here is a further shortened version (pure text, no extra formatting, academic style preserved, no content change): Abstract. With the rise of AI-generated content (AIGC), phishing actors now possess richer linguistic capabilities and evasion techniques. Most existing detectors over-rely on mutable textual features, achieving high accuracy on clean data but degrading severely under text-focused adversarial manipulation. This mirrors the lab-to-real performance gap. We investigate invariant signals in phishing emails: even when attackers modify surface text, functional intent constrains relations among typed entities. Threat-actor tradecraft is described via high-level TTPs, but rule-based systems like Sigma express invariants only through manually curated, field-specific patterns, limiting flexibility. We introduce PhishSigma++, an entity-relation-based malicious email detector for RFC822 messages that generalizes Sigma's design. It extracts 40 typed entity classes, computes 5 cross-type relations to build a typed email graph, and uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to select a sparse discriminative mask, supporting classification and type-level evidence summary. On 29,142 messages, PhishSigma++ achieves 0.9675 F1 on clean data and outperforms text-centric baselines under non-adaptive Good Word padding at \r{ho}=0.8. It maintains 0.9579 F1, while a token-based Bayesian filter collapses to 0.0243 and a DistilBERT phishing checkpoint falls to 0.7284. Compared with traditional Sigma rules, PhishSigma++ offers higher detection, broader relational invariance coverage, and data-driven feature selection. We also show that thresholded typed relation scores encode a useful fragment of Sigma-style field conditions, unifying hand-crafted rule logic and learned relation masks in a single-email framework.
