Artificial intelligence systems are usually implemented either using machine learning or expert systems. Machine learning methods are usually more accurate and applicable to a broader range of applications. Expert systems, on the other hand, require much less data for training and generate more comprehensible results. These characteristics are typically desired in the fields of surgery and medicine because there isn't much data available. In order to give a machine's decisions a deeper level of semantics, it is also advantageous to incorporate a doctor's expertise into it. Furthermore, it is safer to understand the reasoning behind a machine's choices. In this paper, a Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) based expert system is suggested for the task of surgical training skill assessment. An interval-based probabilistic feature analysis was applied to the data to assign values to the mass functions. Zhang's rule of combination was applied to handle the conflicting evidence in the prediction phase. The performance of the proposed method was compared to another DST classifier, SVM, and XGBoost. Our method outperforms SVM and other DST classifiers, but it is not as precise as XGBoost. By reducing the size of the dataset, the added benefit of using an expert system as opposed to a machine learning method was explored further. The performance of the suggested method is not adversely affected by the size of the dataset, whereas the XGBoost classifier is.

This paper addresses the task of learning periodic information using deep neural networks to achieve real-time, environment-independent sound source localization. Previous papers showed phase data is the most significant cue in sound source localization tasks and the proposed vM-B DNN was validated to be able to handle such periodic information using on synthesized data. However, they haven't shown its effectiveness and robustness in realistic use cases. This paper introduces a more complex model based on residual networks and adapts vM-B activation function for convolutional layers for use cases that require real-time predictions in dynamically changing environments.

Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, the recurrence of seizures can be mitigated only 70% of the time through medication. Furthermore, surgery success rates range from 30% - 70% because of our limited understanding of how a seizure starts. However, one leading hypothesis suggests that a seizure starts because of a critical transition due to an instability. Unfortunately, we lack a meaningful way to quantify this notion that would allow physicians to not only better predict seizures but also to mitigate them. Hence, in this paper, we develop a method to not only characterize the instability of seizures but also to leverage these conditions to stabilize the system underlying these seizures. Remarkably, evidence suggests that such critical transitions are associated with long-term memory dynamics, which can be captured by considering linear fractional-order systems. Subsequently, we provide for the first time tractable necessary and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of discrete-time linear fractional-order systems. Next, we propose a method to obtain a stabilizing control strategy for these systems using linear matrix inequalities. Finally, we apply our methodology to a real-world epileptic patient dataset to provide insight into mitigating epilepsy and designing future cyber-neural systems.

During the past decade, control engineers spent more effort making an interface between the practical applications and the theoretical models. System identification includes methods going from observed data to an accurate mathematical model. A precise mathematical model of the system assists engineers in designing high-performance model-based controllers. In this study, we obtained a detailed mathematical model of a conventional two-axis gimbal system considering the coupling effects of the gimbal axes. Then, we comprehensively compared the experimental data and the simulation results. We constructed the simulation model in MATLAB Simscape Multibody environment. We performed our analysis in both the time domain and frequency domain. The results show that an accurate model can be obtained considering the nonlinear effects of the system.

In realistic distributed optimization scenarios, individual nodes possess only partial information and communicate over bandwidth constrained channels. For this reason, the development of efficient distributed algorithms is essential. In our paper we addresses the challenge of unconstrained distributed optimization. In our scenario each node’s local function exhibits strong convexity with Lipschitz continuous gradients. The exchange of information between nodes occurs through 3-bit bandwidth-limited channels (i.e., nodes exchange messages represented by a only 3 -bits). Our proposed algorithm respects the network’s bandwidth constraints by leveraging zoom-in and zoom-out operations to adjust quantizer parameters dynamically. We show that during our algorithm’s operation nodes are able to converge to the exact optimal solution. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm achieves a linear convergence rate to the optimal solution. We conclude the paper with simulations that highlight our algorithm’s unique characteristics.

In the past decade, artificial-intelligence-based (AI-based) techniques have been widely applied to design controllers over cyber-physical systems (CPSs) for complex control missions (e.g., motion planning in robotics). Nevertheless, AI-based controllers, particularly those developed based on deep neural networks, are typically very complex and are challenging to be formally verified. To cope with this issue, we propose a secure-by-construction architecture, namely Safe-Sec-visor architecture, to sandbox AI-based unverified controllers. By applying this architecture, the overall safety and security of CPSs can be ensured simultaneously, while formal verification over the AI-based controllers is not required. Here, we consider invariance and opacity properties as the desired safety and security properties, respectively. Accordingly, by leveraging a notion of (augmented) control barrier functions, we design a supervisor to check the control inputs provided by the AI-based controller and decide whether to accept them. At the same time, a safety-security advisor runs in parallel and provides fallback control inputs whenever the AI-based controller is rejected for safety and security reasons. To show the effectiveness of our approaches, we apply them to a case study on a quadrotor controlled by an AI-based controller. Here, the initial state of the quadrotor contains secret information which should not be revealed while the safety of the quadrotor should be ensured.
