Humanoid robots have been extensively utilized in service industries to provide information and product delivery through direct interactions with users. As the design of humanoid robot appearance significantly impacts human-robot interactions, it is crucial to assess user preference towards it. Traditional evaluation tools, such as surveys, field observations, and interviews, are often time-consuming and subjective. Therefore, this study aims to develop a novel eye-tracking-based assessment tool to investigate user preference towards humanoid robot appearance design. We analyze the critical factors influencing user preference from two perspectives: the attributes of robot appearance and users' selective attention distribution. Accordingly, we propose an integrated machine learning method, combining an autoencoder neural network with a support vector machine to handle the collected visual data. This method, named ASVM, extracts several novel indicators from the eye-tracking data via an unsupervised autoencoder neural network and manual entropy analysis. The proposed ASVM achieves an accuracy of 91%, outperforming other classical machine learning methods, including decision tree, naive Bayes, and support vector machine. ASVM can objectively assess user preference towards humanoid robot appearance design with high time resolution. Furthermore, it can enhance humanoid robot design by revealing the visual attention distribution in assessing robot appearance.

Detecting energy consumption anomalies is a popular topic of industrial research, but there is a noticeable lack of research reported in the literature on energy consumption anomalies for road lighting systems. However, there is a need for such research because the lighting system, a key element of the Smart City concept, creates new monitoring opportunities and challenges. This paper examines algorithms based on the deep learning method using the autoencoder model with LSTM and 1D Convolutional networks for various configurations and training periods. The evaluation of the algorithms was carried out based on real data from an extensive lighting control system. A practical approach was proposed using real-time, unsupervised algorithms employing limited computing resources that can be implemented in industrial devices designed to control intelligent city lighting. An anomaly detection algorithm based on classic LSTM networks, single-layer and multi-layer, was used for comparison purposes. Error matrix calculus was used to assess the quality of the models. It was shown that based on the autoencoder method, it is possible to construct an algorithm that correctly detects anomalies in power measurements of lighting systems, and it is possible to build a model so that the algorithm works correctly regardless of the season of the year.

Drug combination emerges as a viable option for the treatment of malignant diseases. Drug combination outperforms monotherapy by improving therapeutic efficacy, reducing toxicity, and overcoming drug resistance. To find viable drug combinations it is difficult to traverse empirically because of enormous combinational space. Machine learning and deep learning approaches are used to uncover novel synergistic drug combinations in enormous combinational space. Here, AESyn, a novel autoencoder-based drug synergy framework for malignant diseases using a bag of words encoding is proposed. The bag of word encoding technique is used to extract drug-targeted genes. The framework utilized screening data from NCI-ALMANAC, and O'Neil datasets. autoencoders take drug embeddings with drug-targeted genes as input for processing. The autoencoder in the proposed framework is used to extract drug features. The proposed framework is evaluated on classification and regression metrics. The performance of the proposed framework is compared with existing methods of drug synergy. According to the findings, the proposed framework achieved high performance with an accuracy of 95%, AUROC of 94.2%, and MAPE of 7.2. The autoencoder-based framework for malignant diseases using an encoding technique provides a stable, order-independent drug synergy prediction.

Hate speech on social media has become a big problem, making regular users very upset and giving victims depression and suicidal thoughts. Early identification of the user spreading this type of hate speech may be a better solution, allowing hate speech to be stopped at source. In this article, we attempt to identify these hate speech spreaders by finding a representation for each user. Each user's comments are aggregated and fed to an auto-encoder to train it. The encoder part of the auto-encoder is used to get an encoded vector for each user. The encoded vector is used with different machine learning (ML) classifiers to determine if a user is spreading hate speech. The proposed model was tested using the dataset released by PAN 2021 (https://***/***) hate speech spreader profiling competition in English and Spanish. The experimental results show that support vector machine (SVM) with encoded vectors as features outperforms existing models with an accuracy of 92% for both English and Spanish dataset. The proposed features extraction technique is found to be equally effective at identifying fake news spreaders on fake news datasets provided by PAN 2020 yielding accuracy values of 95% and 83% for English and Spanish, respectively.

The framework of locally weighted learning (LWL) has established itself as a popular tool for developing nonlinear soft sensors in process industries. For LWL-based soft sensors, the key factor for achieving high performance is to construct accurate localized models. To this end, in this paper a nonlinear local model training algorithm called nonlinear Bayesian weighted regression (NBWR) is proposed. In the NBWR, the nonlinear features of process data are first extracted by the autoencoder;then, given a query sample a local dataset is selected on the feature space and a fully Bayesian regression model with differentiated sample weights is developed. The benefits of this approach, which include better consistency of correlation, stronger abilities to deal with process nonlinearities and uncertainties, overfitting and numerical issues, lead to superior performance. The NBWR is used for developing a soft sensor under the LWL framework, and a real-world industrial process is used to evaluate the performance of the NBWR-based soft sensor. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several benchmarking soft sensing approaches. (C) 2020 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Hybrid beamforming (HB) is a promising technology for the millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system, which supplies high data capacity with low complexity for next-generation communication systems. However, the joint design of digital and analog beamformer is a non-convex optimization problem due to the hardware constraints of analog shifter arrays. To address this issue, we proposed an intelligent HB design method based on the autoencoder (AE) neural network in this paper. By mapping the HB system to an AE neural network, the solving of the original non-convex optimization problem is converted to the neural network training process. The beamformer and combiner can be automatically formulated by the training process of the neural network. We also discuss the chosen of hyper-parameter and provide a guideline for the AE neural network HB design. With the strong representation ability of the deep neural network, the proposed intelligent HB exhibits superior performance in terms of bit error rate (BER).

The autoencoder is an artificial neural network that performs nonlinear dimension reduction and learns hidden representations of unlabeled data. With a linear transfer function it is similar to the principal component analysis (PCA). While both methods use weight vectors for linear transformations, the autoencoder does not come with any indication similar to the eigenvalues in PCA that are paired with eigenvectors. We propose a novel autoencoder node saliency method that examines whether the features constructed by autoencoders exhibit properties related to known class labels. The supervised node saliency ranks the nodes based on their capability of performing a learning task. It is coupled with the normalized entropy difference (NED). We establish a property for NED values to verify classifying behaviors among the top ranked nodes. By applying our methods to real datasets, we demonstrate their ability to provide indications on the performing nodes and explain the learned tasks in autoencoders. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) modulation is an innovative waveform which effectively multiplexes information symbols across a delay-Doppler (DD) plane, resulting in a superior performance, particularly in doubly dispersive channels. At higher carrier frequencies, the hardware impairments (HIs) at transceivers significantly degrade the performance of OTFS wireless systems. To mitigate the impact of HIs, conventionally an HI-aware channel equalization is performed, which is difficult to achieve in practice. In contrast to this, an autoencoder-based end-to-end design for OTFS (AE-OTFS) system is proposed, which does not require HI-aware channel equalization. Due to its end-to-end design approach, the proposed AE-OTFS significantly enhances the error performance of the OTFS system in the presence of HIs. In particular, it is found that the proposed HI-aware AE-OTFS achieves approximately 3 dB higher performance compared to existing autoencoder based OTFS design, which does not consider the impact of HIs. In addition, comparisons are performed against the conventional OTFS system with state-of-the-art signal detectors for HI-compensation, based on convolutional neural network (CNN), and it is found that due to its end-to-end design the proposed AE-OTFS results in signal-to-noise ratio improvement of up to 8 dB.

详细信息
Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) is a novel waveform that provides a superior performance in doubly-dispersive channels. Since it spreads information symbols across the entire delay-Doppler plane, OTFS can achieve full diversity. However, reliability still needs to be improved in OTFS systems to meet the stringent demands of future communication systems. To address this issue, we propose an autoencoder (AE)-based enhanced OTFS (AEE-OTFS) modulation scheme. By training an AE under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, a feasible mapper and demapper are learned to improve the error performance and decrease the detection complexity of the OTFS system. The learned mapper is used to map incoming bits into high-dimensional symbols while the learned demapper recovers the information bits in the delay-Doppler domain. Additionally, we derive a theoretical upper bound for the frame error rate (FER). Simulation results confirm that AEE-OTFS outperforms conventional OTFS in terms of FER under perfect and imperfect channel conditions. AEE-OTFS also enjoys low decoding complexity in addition to its superior error performance.
