Flaw detection using the ultrasonic imaging technique has been widely used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Ultrasonic testing has the advantages of one-sided measurement, high penetration depth, and inspection accuracy. Artificial intelligence (AI) such as Deep Learning (DL) methods can automate the inspection process with high reliability for imaging and SHM. Neural Networks (NNs) and DL methods can detect flaws using ultrasonic images with high accuracy but suffer extensive computational costs for training and deployment. In this study, we propose a lightweight transformer NN, UFDCTNet: Ultrasonic Flaw Detection Convolutional Transformer Neural Network (TNN), optimized with data-efficient Convolutional NN (CNN) for flaw detection using ultrasonic imaging. TNN utilizes the self-attention network architecture that learns global representations and allows high parallelism in computation resulting in reduced training time. CNNs learn local representations with fewer parameters because of inherent spatial inductive bias. This UFDCTNet utilizes the advantages of CNNs to learn spatially local representations resulting in fewer model parameters for fast training. For performance analysis, we trained data-efficient TNN and CNN using ultrasonic images to detect flaws. To examine training results, NNs are trained with the USimgAIST dataset consisting of 7000 experimental B-scan images representing without-flaw and with-flaw cases. A pulsed laser ultrasonic scanning system was used to collect these B-scan images from 17 stainless steel specimen plates with various types of flaws and some plates without any damage.

Assessing ankle joint power during real-life scenarios is crucial for analyzing human push-off and detecting abnormal gait patterns. However, traditional joint power monitoring methods require expensive and professional equipment, limiting their use to gait laboratories. To address this limitation, we propose a portable and robust two-stage approach that estimates ankle joint power using two inertial measurement units (IMU) sensors placed on the shank and foot, respectively. Our subject-independent CNN model accurately assessed ankle joint power during flat and inclined walking across 28 walking speeds and 6 ramp inclines. This solution facilitates ankle joint power assessment outside of gait laboratories and could serve as a foundation to enable gait abnormality evaluation in patients in hospitals, clinics, and home-based settings.

Markov decision processes often seek to maximize a reward function, but onlookers may infer reward functions by observing agents, which can reveal sensitive information. Therefore, in this paper we introduce and compare two methods for privatizing reward functions in policy synthesis for multi-agent Markov decision processes, which generalize Markov decision processes. Reward functions are privatized using differential privacy, a statistical framework for protecting sensitive data. The methods we develop perturb (i) each agent’s individual reward function or (ii) the joint reward function shared by all agents. We prove that both of these methods are differentially private and show approach (i) provides better performance. We then develop an algorithm for the numerical computation of the performance loss due to privacy on a case-by-case basis. We also exactly compute the computational complexity of this algorithm in terms of system parameters and show that it is inherently tractable. Numerical simulations are performed on waypoint guidance of an autonomous vehicle which shows that privacy induces only negligible performance losses in practice.
