Recent discoveries indicating that the brain retains its ability to adapt and change throughout life have sparked interest in cognitive training (CT) as a possible means to postpone the development of dementia. Despite this, most research has focused on confirming the efficacy of training outcomes, with few studies examining the correlation between performance and results across various stages of training. In particular, the relationship between initial performance and the extent of improvement, the rate of learning, and the asymptotic performance level throughout the learning curve remains ambiguous. In this study, older adults underwent ten days of selective attention training using an adaptive algorithm, which enabled a detailed analysis of the learning curve's progression. Cognitive abilities were assessed before and after CT using the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The findings indicated that: (1) Initial performance is positively correlated with Learning amount and asymptotic performance level, and negatively correlated with learning speed;(2) Age is negatively correlated with learning speed, while it is positively correlated with the other three parameters. (3) Higher pre-training MMSE scores predicted higher post-training MMSE scores but less improvement;(4) Higher pre-training MoCA scores predicted higher post-training MoCA scores and less improvement;(5) The parameters of the learning curve did not correlate with performance on the MMSE or MoCA. These results indicate that: (1)Selective attention training using adaptive algorithms is an effective tool for cognitive intervention;(2) Older individuals with poor baseline cognitive abilities require more diversified cognitive training;(3) The study supports the compensation hypothesis.

Identifying the anomalies in athletes' training data plays an important role in preventing injuries and optimizing training plans. In this paper, an improved adaptive algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection in sports training data. Firstly, a depth self-encoder is constructed to learn the low-dimensional representation of sports training data, which captures the key features in the data. Then, the adaptive landmark filtering mechanism is introduced, and landmarks are selected and filtered and optimized based on the peak density to enhance the sensitivity of the algorithm to abnormal data. In the data preprocessing stage, the original data is cleaned and features are selected to reduce noise and extract the most relevant features. A composite loss function including reconstruction loss, affinity loss and sparsity loss is also proposed to further optimize the performance of the algorithm. Finally, in the training and optimization stage of the algorithm, the designed compound loss function is used to train the algorithm, and the parameters are adjusted and the algorithm is verified. The final results show that the improved adaptive algorithm shows the detection accuracy of more than 99% on multiple data, the missed detection rate remains between 0.257% and 0.447%, and the detection delay is lower than that of GAN and K-means algorithms, which shows the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm in anomaly detection tasks. Therefore, the algorithm not only improves the accuracy of anomaly detection, but also enhances the applicability and effectiveness of the model in the actual sports training scene, showing a broad application prospect.

Estimating phasors as quickly as possible while guaranteeing accuracy is important to ensure reliable fault detection and isolation in power systems. Window length is an important factor for phasor estimation. The conventional fixed window length cannot handle well the many and diverse fault voltage and current signals. By analysing the relationship between accuracy and window length of a phasor estimation using the matrix pencil method, a criterion is established to determine whether or not the estimated phasor is credible. Then, an adaptive algorithm to estimate the phasors using dynamic window length is proposed. Analytical and experimental investigations show that the proposed algorithm can accurately and timely estimate phasors and can enable reliable and quick relay operation.

This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for motion compensated color image coding. The algorithm can be used for video teleconferencing or broadcast signals. Activity segmentation is used to reduce the bit rate and a variable stage search is conducted to save computations. The adaptive algorithm is compared with the nonadaptive algorithm and it is shown that with approximately 60 percent savings in computing the motion vector and 33 percent additional compression, the performance of the adaptive algorithm is similar to the nonadaptive algorithm. The adaptive algorithm results also show improvement of up to 1 bit/pel over interframe DPCM coding with nonuniform quantization. The test pictures used for this study were recorded directly from broadcast video in color.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals are prone to problems caused by motion artifacts and physiological noises. These noises unfortunately reduce the fNIRS sensitivity in detecting the evoked brain activation while increasing the risk of statistical error. In fNIRS measurements, the repetitive resting-stimulus cycle (so-called block-design analysis) is commonly adapted to increase the sample number. However, these blocks are often affected by noises. Therefore, we developed an adaptive algorithm to identify, reject, and select the noise-free and/or least noisy blocks in accordance with the preset acceptance rate. The main features of this algorithm are personalized evaluation for individual data and controlled rejection to maintain the sample number. Three typical noise criteria (sudden amplitude change, shifted baseline, and minimum intertrial correlation) were adopted. Depending on the quality of the dataset used, the algorithm may require some or all noise criteria with distinct parameters. Aiming for real applications in a pediatric study, we applied this algorithm to fNIRS datasets obtained from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children as had been studied previously. These datasets were divided for training and validation purposes. A validation process was done to examine the feasibility of the algorithm regardless of the types of datasets, including those obtained under sample population (ADHD or typical developing children), intervention (nonmedication and drug/placebo administration), and measurement (task paradigm) conditions. The algorithm was optimized so as to enhance reproducibility of previous inferences. The optimum algorithm design involved all criteria ordered sequentially (0.047 mM mm of amplitude change, of baseline slope, and range of outlier threshold for each criterion, respectively) and presented complete reproducibility in both training and validation datasets. Compared to the visual-based rejection as done

Recently, LoRaWAN has been considered a promising technology for large-scale IoT applications owing to its ability to achieve low power and long range communications. However, LoRaWAN is limited using Aloha random access scheme. When in dense scenarios, such scheme leads to a high number of collisions, thus severely impacts the reliability and scalability of LoRaWAN. In this paper, we investigate the impact of scalability and densification of nodes and gateways on the system reliability taking into account the capture effect. We propose an optimization problem to derive the node distribution at different spreading factors (SF) in LoRaWAN networks with multiple gateways. We then introduce an adaptive algorithm that enables to easily implement SF optimization by adjusting the signal-to-noise ratio thresholds. Moreover, the performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the performance of legacy LoRaWAN and relevant algorithms from the state-of-the-art. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms, and improves the throughput and packet delivery ratio of the network.

The development of compressive sensing in recent years has given much attention to sparse signal recovery. In sparse signal recovery, spike and slab priors are playing a key role in inducing sparsity. The use of such priors, however, results in non-convex and mixed integer programming problems. Most of the existing algorithms to solve non-convex and mixed integer programming problems involve either simplifying assumptions, relaxations or high computational expenses. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive alternating direction method of multipliers (AADMM) algorithm to directly solve the suggested non-convex and mixed integer programming problem. The algorithm is based on the one-to-one mapping property of the support and non-zero element of the signal. At each step of the algorithm, we update the support by either adding an index to it or removing an index from it and use the alternating direction method of multipliers to recover the signal corresponding to the updated support. Moreover, as opposed to the competing "adaptive sparsity matching pursuit" and "alternating direction method of multipliers" methods our algorithm can solve non-convex problems directly. Experiments on synthetic data and real world images demonstrated that the proposed AADMM algorithm provides superior performance and is computationally cheaper than the recently developed iterative convex refinement (ICR) and adaptive matching pursuit (AMP) algorithms.

Smart grid comprises utility system and dispersed renewable generations. It establishes bidirectional power transmission and communication among utility system, distributed generations and consumers. Sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) is a major concern in transmission line. Furthermore, impedance swing during SSR leads in operation of out of step blocking characteristic of distance relay. SSR brings about a significant rise in the magnitudes of voltage and current. It also raises probability of occurrence of ferroresonance. Here, the impact of SSR in utility system is analysed on operation of doubly-fed induction generator and distance relay with out of step blocking element is given here. Smart grid urge to establish a self-healing protection, hence, an adaptive algorithm based on sub harmonic and ferroresonance detection is proposed for distance relay. The algorithm discriminates ferroresonance from other nonlinearities by wavelet transform and neural network and utilises time domain analysis to distinguish between different types of ferroresonance. The algorithm is able to observe smart grid protection strategy. It is capable of receiving the commands according to protection strategy to take a correct decision in such conditions to enhance reliability of power electricity in smart grid. Finally, the proposed algorithm is examined in SSR condition to certify the correct operation.

Within this article an adaptive approach for parallel simulation of SystemC RTL Models on future many-core architectures like the Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) from Intel is presented. It is based on a configurable parallel SystemC kernel that preserves the partial order defined by the SystemC delta cycles while avoiding global synchronization as far as possible. The underlying algorithm relies on a classification of existing communication relations between parallel processes. The type and topology of communication relations determines the type and number of causality conditions that need to be fulfilled during runtime. The parallel kernel is complemented by an automated tool flow that allows detecting relevant model-specific properties, performing a fine-grained model partitioning, classifying communication relations and configuring the kernel. Experiments by means of a MPSoC model show that pure local synchronization can provide significant performance gains compared to global synchronization. Furthermore, the combination of local synchronization with fine-grained partitioning provides additional degrees of freedom for optimization. (c) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An online adaptive escalator lattice structure for orthogonalization of multiple-channel signals is used to predict load demands among loading nodes in a power system by an autoregressive multiple-channel mode. Since the escalator outputs are white and also uncorrelated with each channel or node, the parameters of the algorithm are updated adaptively using scalar operations. Because matrix or vector operations are not required in the updating procedures, the convergence speed is insensitive to the ratio of the largest to the smallest eigenvalues of the loads' covariance matrix. Thus the prediction filter has a faster convergence rate than common matrix-oriented gradient adaptive filters. Computer simulation shows that this algorithm has a faster convergence rate and better numerical properties in the adaptive process. This is very attractive for multinode load forecasting in a large power system, where each load model varies with time and has different statistical characteristics, or where loads are nonstationary and the ratio of eigenvalues in the load covariance matrix is large.< >
