This paper develops an adaptive control scheme for position and velocity tracking control of high speed trains under uncertain system nonlinearities and actuator failures. Neural networks with self-organizing capabilities are integrated into control design, where the number of the neurons can be adjusted online automatically, so as not only to avoid the problem inherent in the NN with fixed structure but also to deal with system uncertainties containing of nonlinear in-train forces, traction-braking nonlinearities, as well as the unknown actuation faults. As such, the resultant control algorithms are able to achieve high precision train speed and position tracking under varying operation railway conditions, as validated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.

Among the more recent applications for natural language processing algorithms has been the analysis of spoken language data for diagnostic and remedial purposes, fueled by the demand for simple, objective, and unobtrusive screening tools for neurological disorders such as dementia. The automated analysis of narrative retellings in particular shows potential as a component of such a screening tool since the ability to produce accurate and meaningful narratives is noticeably impaired in individuals with dementia and its frequent precursor, mild cognitive impairment, as well as other neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. In this article, we present a method for extracting narrative recall scores automatically and highly accurately from a word-level alignment between a retelling and the source narrative. We propose improvements to existing machine translation-based systems for word alignment, including a novel method of word alignment relying on random walks on a graph that achieves alignment accuracy superior to that of standard expectation maximization-based techniques for word alignment in a fraction of the time required for expectation maximization. In addition, the narrative recall score features extracted from these high-quality word alignments yield diagnostic classification accuracy comparable to that achieved using manually assigned scores and significantly higher than that achieved with summary-level text similarity metrics used in other areas of NLP. These methods can be trivially adapted to spontaneous language samples elicited with non-linguistic stimuli, thereby demonstrating the flexibility and generalizability of these methods.

Collecting data from a tremendous amount of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for next generation networks is a big challenge. A large number of devices may lead to severe congestion in Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core Network (CN). 3GPP has specified several mechanisms to handle the congestion caused by massive amounts of devices. However, detailed settings and strategies of them are not defined in the standards and are left for operators. In this paper, we propose two congestion control algorithms which efficiently reduce the congestion. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can achieve 20~40% improvement regarding accept ratio, overload degree and waiting time compared with those in LTE-A.

Target detection is a key issue in processing hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, current spectral-identification-based algorithms are sensitive to noise during acquisition of the data. In most cases, the denoising algorithms cannot preserve small targets. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose a new algorithm which reduces noise to improve the target detection efficiency of HSI with small targets. First, a three-dimensional wavelet packet transform (3D-WPT) is used to decompose the HSI into several coefficient sets and models each coefficient set as a tensor. Then we exploit a powerful multilinear algebra model named parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to filter each tensor. The experiments conducted in both simulated and real-world hyperspectral images demonstrated the performance of the proposed method.

An improved quantum artificial fish swarm algorithm (IQAFSA) for solving distributed network programming considering distributed generation is proposed in this work. The IQAFSA based on quantum computing which has exponential acceleration for heuristic algorithm uses quantum bits to code artificial fish and quantum revolving gate, preying behavior, and following behavior and variation of quantum artificial fish to update the artificial fish for searching for optimal value. Then, we apply the proposed new algorithm, the quantum artificial fish swarm algorithm (QAFSA), the basic artificial fish swarm algorithm (BAFSA), and the global edition artificial fish swarm algorithm (GAFSA) to the simulation experiments for some typical test functions, respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can escape from the local extremum effectively and has higher convergence speed and better accuracy. Finally, applying IQAFSA to distributed network problems and the simulation results for 33-bus radial distribution network system show that IQAFSA can get the minimum power loss after comparing with BAFSA, GAFSA, and QAFSA.

This study presents a new approach to detecting and classifying voltage disturbances in electrical distribution systems based on wavelet transform and artificial immune algorithm. This proposal unifies the negative selection artificial immune algorithm with the discrete wavelet transform concept. Thus, the measurements obtained in a distribution substation by the supervisory control and data acquisition acquisition system are transformed into the wavelet domain. Afterward, a negative selection artificial immune system realises the diagnosis, identifying and classifying the abnormalities. The principal application of this tool is to aid the system operation during faults as well as to supervise the protection system. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, two distribution systems were modelled in EMTP software: an 84-bus test system and a 134-bus real system. The results show a good performance, emphasising the precision of the diagnosis.

In this study, a fast gradient-based compressive sensing (FGB-CS) for noise image and video is proposed. Given a noise image or video, the authors first make it sparse by orthogonal transformation, and then reconstruct it by solving a convex optimisation problem with a novel gradient-based method. The main contribution is twofold. Firstly, they deal with the noise signal reconstruction as a convex minimisation problem, and propose a new compressive sensing based on gradient-based method for noise image and video. Secondly, to improve the computational efficiency of gradient-based compressive sensing, they formulate the convex optimisation of noise signal reconstruction under Lipschitz gradient and replace the iteration parameter by the Lipschitz constant. With this strategy, the convergence of our FGB-CS is reduced from O(1/k) to O(1/k(2)). Experimental results indicate that their FGB-CS method is able to achieve better performance than several classical algorithms.

Community structure plays a key role in analyzing network features and helping people to dig out valuable hidden information. However, how to discover the hidden community structures is one of the biggest challenges in social network analysis, especially when the network size swells to a high level. Infomap is a top-class algorithm in nonoverlapping community structure detection. However, it is designed for single processor. When tackling large networks, its limited scalability makes it less effective in fully utilizing server resources. In this paper, based on infomap, we develop a scalable parallel nonoverlapping community detection method, Pinfomr (parallel Infomap with MapReduce), which utilizes the MapReduce framework to solve the two problems. Experiments on artificial networks and real datasets show that our parallel method has satisfying performance and scalability.

We propose a novel automatic side-scan sonar image enhancement algorithmbased on curvelet transform. The proposed algorithm uses the curvelet transform to construct a multichannel enhancement structure based on human visual system (HVS) and adopts a new adaptive nonlinear mapping scheme to modify the curvelet transform coefficients in each channel independently and automatically. Firstly, the noisy and low-contrast sonar image is decomposed into a low frequency channel and a series of high frequency channels by using curvelet transform. Secondly, a new nonlinear mapping scheme, which coincides with the logarithmic nonlinear enhancement characteristic of the HVS perception, is designed without any parameter tuning to adjust the curvelet transform coefficients in each channel. Finally, the enhanced image can be reconstructed with the modified coefficients via inverse curvelet transform. The enhancement is achieved by amplifying subtle features, improving contrast, and eliminating noise simultaneously. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm produces better enhanced results than state-of-the-art algorithms.

Voltage instability occurs when a power system is unable to meet reactive power demand at one or more buses. Voltage instability events have caused several major outages and promise to become more frequent due to increasing energy demand. The future smart grid may help to ensure voltage stability by enabling rapid detection of possible voltage instability and implementation of corrective action. These corrective actions will only be effective in restoring stability if they are chosen in a timely, scalable manner. Current techniques for selecting control actions, however, rely on exhaustive search, and hence may choose an inefficient control strategy. In this paper, we propose a submodular optimization approach to designing a control strategy to prevent voltage instability at one or more buses. Our key insight is that the deviation from the desired voltage is a super-modular function of the set of reactive power injections that are employed, leading to computationally efficient control algorithms with provable optimality guarantees. Furthermore, we show that the optimality bound of our approach can be improved from 1/3 to 1/2 when the power system operates under heavy loading conditions. We demonstrate our framework through extensive simulation study on the IEEE 30 bus test case.
