In system identification, the maximum-likelihood method is typically used for parameter estimation owing to a number of optimal statistical properties. However, in many cases, the likelihood function is nonconvex. The solutions are usually obtained by local numerical optimization algorithms that require good initialization and cannot guarantee global optimality. This paper proposes a computationally tractable method that computes the maximum-likelihood parameter estimates with posterior certification of global optimality via the concept of sum-of-squares polynomials and sparse semidefinite relaxations. It is shown that the method can be applied to certain classes of discrete-time linear models. This is achieved by taking advantage of the rational structure of these models and the sparsity in the maximum-likelihood parameter estimation problem. The method is illustrated on a simulation model of a resonant mechanical system where standard methods struggle.

Decomposition offers the potential to reduce the complexity of model-based optimization, prediction, control and diagnosis by accounting for the structure and sparsity of the describing model. Motivated by this fact, a rich and powerful collection of decomposition methods are available for model based diagnosis of large-scale complex dynamic systems, too. At the same time, one usually does not have enough information about a large-scale complex dynamic system to construct its precise enough model, so a kind of qualitative dynamic model is often used for the diagnosis. Two structural decomposition based qualitative diagnostic methods are presented in this lecture, together with their component-driven system decomposition techniques.

Salient region of an image is usually detected by using contrast and boundary priors. Along with those cues the use of seam importance map has shown promising output previously. In this study, better result is found by further exploiting the seam-map using spatial distance and color information in combination with boundary prior. Color and seam maps are also down-weighted using average spatial distance to other regions. Moreover, passing the superpixelized version of the input image into seam and color map generation procedure has improved the output. Experimental results based on MSRA 1k dataset are presented with ten state of the art methods. F-beta measures are presented along with precision recall curves to better understand the outcome. The performance comparison with compared researches proofs superiority of the proposed method.

Heteroplanar active magnetic bearings have numerous applications, where one example is a high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. Rotor imbalance, however, may cause problems for critical parts of the system in the form of repetitive periodic vibrations. This is known problem and periodic component extraction is widely used in active magnetic bearing unbalance control laws. More recently, iterative learning control has been considered as an alternative and this paper gives new results on this approach. In particular, a new control law in the 2D systems setting is developed and the results of a simulation based study using the model of a test rig are given, where such a study is an essential step prior to experimental validation.

Double buffering is an effective mechanism to hide the latency of data transfers between on-chip and off-chip memory. However, in dataflow architecture, the swapping of two buffers during the execution of many tiles decreases the performance because of repetitive filling and draining of the dataflow accelerator. In this work, we propose a non-stop double buffering mechanism for dataflow architecture. The proposed non-stop mechanism assigns tiles to the processing element array without stopping the execution of processing elements through optimizing control logic in dataflow architecture. Moreover, we propose a work-flow program to cooperate with the non-stop double buffering mechanism. After optimizations both on control logic and on work-flow program, the filling and draining of the array needs to be done only once across the execution of all tiles belonging to the same dataflow graph. Experimental results show that the proposed double buffering mechanism for dataftow architecture achieves a 16.2% average efficiency improvement over that without the optimization.

In this paper we consider the complexity of verifying the property of AA-diagnosability in probabilistic finite automata and establish that AA-diagnosability is, in general, a PSPACE-hard problem. In deterministic and nondeterministic finite automata, the property of diagnosability captures our ability to determine, based on our observation of the activity in a given finite automaton, the occurrence of any fault event, at least if we wait for at most a finite number of events (following the occurrence of the unobservable fault event). In stochastic settings where the underlying system is a probabilistic finite automaton under partial observation, there is not a prevalent notion of diagnosability and many variations have been proposed, including A-diagnosability and AA-diagnosability. Earlier work has shown that the verification of A-diagnosability (also referred to as strong stochastic diagnosability) for a given probabilistic finite automaton is a PSPACE-hard problem. In this paper, we establish that the verification of AA-diagnosability (also referred to as stochastic diagnosability) is a PSPACE-hard problem.
