Ship classification using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is a challenge problem in maritime surveillance. Because of the scale limitation of ship targets in SAR image, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can not achieve similar performance as for natural image classification. In this paper, we propose a joint CNNs framework for small-scale ship targets classification in SAR image, where a generator and a classifier are jointly connected. The generator can reconstruct the small-scale low-resolution (LR) images to large-scale super-resolution (SR) images, and the classifier is used for ship classification. A novel joint loss optimization strategy is introduced to solve the problem, where an MSE-based content loss is employed to generate high quality SR images, and a classification loss is applied to enable the generator and the classifier to be trained in a joint way. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method, as compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

BACKGROUND:The United Kingdom reported the emergence of a new and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.7) that rapidly spread to other countries. The impact of this new mutation-which occurs in the S protein-on infectivity, virulence, and current vaccine effectiveness is still under evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to sequence SARS-CoV-2 samples of cases in Romania to detect the B.1.1.7 variant and compare these samples with sequences submitted to GISAID.
METHODS:SARS-CoV-2 samples were sequenced and amino acid substitution analysis was performed using the CoV-GLUE platform.
RESULTS:We have identified the first cases of the B.1.1.7 variant in samples collected from Romanian patients, of which one was traced to the region of the United Kingdom where the new variant was originally sequenced. Mutations in nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3; N844S and D455N) and ORF3a (L15F) were also detected, indicating common ancestry with UK strains as well as remote connections with strains from Nagasaki, Japan.
CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate, for the first time, the presence and characteristics of the new variant B.1.1.7 in Romania and underscore the need for increased genomic sequencing in patients with confirmed COVID-19.

Anomaly detection aims to identify the abnormal instances, whose behavior deviates significantly from the others. Nowadays owing to the existence of diverse data generation sources, different attributes of the same instances may be located on distributed parties forming a multi-view dataset. Thus multiview anomaly detection has become a key task to discover outliers across various views. Traditionally, to perform multiview anomaly detection, one needs to centralize data instances from all views into a single machine. However, in many real-world scenarios, it is impractical to send data from diverse views to a master machine due to the privacy issues. Inspired by this, we propose a fuzzy clustering based distributed approach for multiview anomaly detection that simultaneously learns a membership degree matrix for each view and then detects anomalies for all parties. Specifically, we first introduce a combined fuzzy c-means clustering method for multi-view data and then design an anomaly measurement criterion to quantify the abnormal score from membership degree matrix. To solve the proposed model, a protocol is provided to unify all parties performing a well-designed optimization in an iterative way. Experiments on three datasets with different anomaly settings demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

A discrete-time stochastic LQ problem with multiplicative noises and state transmission delay is studied in this paper,which does not require any definiteness constraint on the cost weighting matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the case with a fixed time-state initial pair. A set of coupled discrete-time Riccati-like equations can be derived to characterize the existence and the form of the delayed optimal control. Furthermore, the convexity of the cost functional is fully characterized via certain properties of the solution of the Riccati-like equations.
An adaptive neural output consensus control issue is considered for stochastic nonlinear strict-feedback multi-agent systems (MASs). The traditional backstepping framework is employed combing with the graph theory, as...
