In many applications, the labeled data at the learner's disposal is subject to privacy constraints and is relatively limited. To derive a more accurate predictor for the target domain, it is often beneficial to leverage publicly available labeled data from an alternative domain, somewhat close to the target domain. This is the modern problem of supervised domain adaptation from a public source to a private target domain. We present two ( epsilon,delta)-differentially private adaptation algorithms for supervised adaptation, for which we make use of a general optimization problem, recently shown to benefit from favorable theoretical learning guarantees. Our first algorithm is designed for regression with linear predictors and shown to solve a convex optimization problem. Our second algorithm is a more general solution for loss functions that may be non-convex but Lipschitz and smooth. While our main objective is a theoretical analysis, we also report the results of several experiments. We first show that the non-private versions of our algorithms match state-of-the-art performance in supervised adaptation and that for larger values of the target sample size or epsilon, the performance of our private algorithms remains close to that of their non-private counterparts.

The paper proposes a heterogeneous push-sum based subgradient algorithm for multi-agent distributed convex optimization, in which each agent can arbitrarily switch between subgradient-push and push-subgradient at any time. It is shown that the heterogeneous algorithm converges to an optimal point at an optimal rate over time-varying directed graphs. The switching process within the heterogeneous algorithm can help prevent the leakage of agents' subgradient information.

COVID-19 is a rapidly spreading global pandemic that causes lung problems and a lack of oxygen in the blood, which leads to death. The emergence of this disease caused a shortage of hospital resources due to a failure to prioritize patients correctly according to their severity, which led to a waste of resources. Currently, X-ray images play a vital role in early detection and monitoring the different states of COVID-19 patients. Every patient may have many X-ray images at different times to follow up on his health and needs, so detecting the most suitable stage of patient images for predicting his severity and needs is urgent to save his life and hospital resources. This paper proposes a prediction model to early predict three levels of severity risks for the COVID-19 patient based on X-ray images: high, moderate, and low. Pre-processing, extracting, and selecting the features based on X-ray images are critical and effective phases. Thus, in the proposed model, a combination of methods are used for the pre-processing phase, different handcrafted and deep learning techniques are introduced for the feature extraction step, and a merged meta-heuristic optimization algorithm called Hunger Game Search (HGS) with support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to automatically determine the most relevant features for the prediction model. The experimental results demonstrated that using the processed images is better than using the original images, where the pre-trained deep learning model Visual Geometry Group (VGG-19) has achieved the best results in the feature extraction phase compared with other pre-trained deep models and handcrafted methods, and the HGS optimization algorithm has accomplished the perfect results for selecting the features against other six popular meta-heuristic algorithms. The model achieved 99.9% and 94.8% for the best and average accuracy, respectively, at an early stage with the least number of selected features compared with the competitor meta-heur

Ever-increasing data in various fields like Bioinformatics field, which has led to the need to find a way to reduce the data dimensionality. Gene selection problem has a large number of genes (relevant, redundant or noise), which needs an effective method to help us in detecting diseases and cancer. In this problem, computational complexity is reduced by selecting a small number of genes, but it is necessary to choose the relevant genes to keep a high level of accuracy. Therefore, in order to find the optimal gene subset, it is essential to devise an effective exploration approach that can investigate a large number of possible gene subsets. In addition, it is required to use a powerful evaluation method to evaluate the relevance of these gene subsets. In this paper, we present a novel swarm intelligence algorithm for gene selection called quantum moth flame optimization algorithm (QMFOA), which based on hybridization between quantum computation and moth flame optimization (MFO) algorithm. The purpose of QMFOA is to identify a small gene subset that can be used to classify samples with high accuracy. The QMFOA has a simple two-phase approach, the first phase is a pre-processing that uses to address the difficulty of high-dimensional data, which measure the redundancy and the relevance of the gene, in order to obtain the relevant gene set. The second phase is a hybridization among MFOA, quantum computing, and support vector machine with leave-one-out cross-validation, etc., in order to solve the gene selection problem. We use quantum computing to guarantee a good trade-off between the exploration and the exploitation of the search space, while a new update moth operation using Hamming distance and Archimedes spiral allows an efficient exploration of all possible gene-subsets. The main objective of the second phase is to determine the best relevant gene subset of all genes obtained in the first phase. In order to assess the performance of the proposed QMFOA, we test Q

We propose a prompting algorithm based on SAM and apply it to the field of camouflage object detection. We extract the camouflaged object detection (COD) network features after weakly supervised learning and generate bounding box information and point prompt information to guide the SAM to segment the camouflaged objects in the image. The proposed method can effectively improve the performance of camouflage object detection network and has achieved good results on the mainstream camouflage object detection dataset.

This paper presents a new approach to image-based visual servoing (IBVS) for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) with the goal of improved performance and computational efficiency. Traditional IBVS methods, when combined with Model Predictive Control (MPC), face high computational demands due to the nonlinear dynamics and the large degrees of freedom (DOFs) in the variables of the associated optimization problem. Our method addresses this by reducing the DOFs of the optimization variable in the cost function while maintaining a good control performance. To further consider the smoothness of the MPC control signal, a soft constraint handling method is developed. The fast nonlinear MPC, combined with smoother control trajectories and effective constraint handling, makes our method particularly suitable for AUV IBVS applications in dynamic environments. Comparisons with standard strategies confirm the improved performance of our approach in terms of both speed and trajectory quality. Simulation results show that our approach can achieve an improved computation up to 100 times faster than conventional MPC-based IBVS methods, which highlights the great potential for real-time IBVS applications.

Load Frequency Control (LFC) is a critical aspect of power system stability, ensuring that the frequency and tie-line power flow remains within acceptable limits. In this paper, we investigate LFC in a two-area system with the integration of demand response (DR) loops. The DR loops allow for dynamic adjustments of load demand based on real-time system conditions. Our study focuses on optimizing the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller used in the LFC system. To achieve this, we perform a comparative analysis of three optimization algorithms: Artificial bee colony (ABC), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and Aquila optimization (AO). These algorithms are applied to tune the PID controller parameters, aiming to enhance system performance, reduce frequency deviations, and minimize control efforts. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The optimized PID controller, combined with DR, significantly improves system response during load disturbances. Furthermore, the comparative study sheds light on the strengths and weaknesses of each optimization algorithm, providing valuable insights for future LFC implementations. Overall, our work contributes to the advancement of LFC strategies in interconnected power systems, emphasizing the role of demand response and optimization techniques in achieving robust and efficient control

In this paper, an efficient mask optimization method for enhanced digital micromirror device lithography quality based on improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed, which greatly improves the quality of lithography. First, the traditional PSO algorithm is improved by introducing adaptive parameter adjustment to enhance its search ability in complex problems. In addition, in order to avoid premature convergence of the algorithm, a simulated annealing operation is introduced to make it accept the different solution with a certain probability and jump out of the local optimal better. The numerical simulation experiment results showed that the pattern errors between the print image and target pattern were reduced by 93.5%, 95.8%, and 95.6%, respectively. Compared with traditional optimization methods, the proposed algorithm significantly improves the image quality, especially in the aspects of edge contour and pattern fidelity.

Recently, digitized-counterdiabatic (CD) corrections to the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) have been proposed, yielding faster convergence within the desired accuracy than standard QAOA. In this manuscript, we apply this approach to a fully connected spin model with random couplings. We show that the performances of the algorithm are related to the spectral properties of the instances analyzed. In particular, the larger the gap between the ground state and the first excited states, the better the convergence to the exact solution.
