The importance of short-term solar radiation forecasting for power system use and management cannot be overstated. However, Non-stationarity and unpredictability make accurate forecasting difficult. Time series approaches are suitable for forecasting stationary time series derived from a non-stationary sequence. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) are time-domain decomposition methods used to separate the components of the original solar radiation time series that have distinct time 1 -scale characteristics. As a result, the components are forecasted using the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) model, which is a simple and effective machine learning method. This paper presents a hybrid EMD/EEMD-BPNN model for predicting short-term solar irradiance. To identify unique data information at different time scales, EMD/EEMD first breaks up the solar radiation time series into several stationary or fundamental sub-series. The next step is to create BPNN models with specified parameters for each subsequence to forecast new ones. Finally, each subsequence's projected value is combined to generate the final forecast result. The accuracy of solar forecasts has greatly increased, especially when utilizing hybrid methods. Furthermore, using the proposed hybrid technique for multistep forecasting resulted in even more improvement. The basic BPNN model for 15 min time step achieves predicting with a root mean square error (RMSE) of roughly 416.04 W/m2 for 15min; however, this error decreases to 65.25 W/m2 with the EMD-Hybrid Model, and 32.86 W/m2 with the EEMD-Hybrid Model. In addition, the results of the skill score have proven clearly that EMD/EEMD-BPNN Model performs better compared to typical BPNN using several meteorological inputs

Due to lack of established criteria and reliable biomarkers, timely diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has remained a challenging problem. Widefield optical imaging of cortical activity in animals provides a unique opportunity to study injury-induced alterations of brain function. Motivated by the results of medical-imaging studies that employ patch-level-based approaches, this paper proposes to use two patch-based deep learning techniques for classifying brain images of mTBI and healthy Thyl-GCaMP6s transgenic mice. The first approach uses a Bag of Visual Word (BoVW) technique to represent each image as a histogram of local features derived from patches from all training data. The local features are extracted using an unsupervised convolutional autoencoder (CAE). The second approach employs a pre-trained vision transformer (ViT) model. The average accuracy for classifying mTBI and healthy brains for the CAE-BoVW and the ViT are 96.8% and 97.78%, respectively, outperforming results of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. This work suggests that attention-based models can be utilized for the problem of classifying mTBI and healthy brain images.

Deep learning for point clouds faces the challenge of their inherent unordered nature, which makes traditional CNN-like methods not directly applicable. However, due to the inherent permutation invariance, transformers provide solutions to unordered points problems faced in LiDAR-based object detection. In this paper, a two-stage LiDAR 3D object detection framework is presented, namely Point-Voxel Dual Transformer (PV-DT3D), which is a transformer-based method. In the proposed PV-DT3D, point-voxel fusion features are used for proposal refinement. Specifically, in the PV-DT3D, keypoints are sampled from entire point cloud scene and used to encode representative scene features via a proposal-aware voxel set abstraction module. Subsequently, following the generation of proposals by the region proposal networks (RPN), the internal encoded keypoints are fed into dual transformer encoder-decoder architecture. In 3D object detection, the proposed PV-DT3D is the first to take advantage of both pointwise transformer and channel-wise architecture to capture contextual information from the perspective of spatial and channel dimensions. Experiments conducted on the highly competitive KITTI 3D car detection leaderboard show that, the PV-DT3D achieves superior detection accuracy among state-of-the-art point-voxel-based methods.

Evolution of agents’ dynamics of multiagent systems under consensus protocol in the face of jamming attacks is discussed, where centralized parties are able to influence the control signals of the agents. In this paper we focus on a game-theoretical approach of multiagent systems where the players have incomplete information on their opponents’ strength. We consider repeated games with both simultaneous and sequential player actions where players update their beliefs of each other over time. The effect of the players’ optimal strategies according to Bayesian Nash Equilibrium and Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium on agents’ consensus is examined. It is shown that an attacker with incomplete knowledge may fail to prevent consensus despite having sufficient resources to do so.
