Power load forecasting is the foundation of maintaining power grid stability, and can assist in decision-making to reduce operating costs. Fine-grained long sequence load forecasting contributes to formulating plans for power purchase, electricity consumption, energy storage, etc. Long sequence load forecasting requires models to effectively store memory and to accurately capture the long-term complex mapping between output and input. Therefore, this paper converts load sequences into three-dimensional (3D) continuous video frames and presents a model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) named the Improved 3D LSTM (I3D-LSTM) for predicting video frames. It contains two 3D LSTM units: For highly periodic load data, a Long-memory 3D LSTM unit is proposed, which has stronger long-term memory and removes short-term memory;On weakly periodic datasets, a Simplified 3D LSTM unit without the scoring parts exhibits excellent performance. I3D-LSTM also contains a 3D recurrent neural network architecture with residual. Dropblock and batch normalization are integrated into the I3D-LSTM, which are analyzed as excellent solutions for overfitting in 3D LSTM. Comprehensive tests are conducted on different sequence lengths in multiple real-world datasets. Comparison results indicate that I3D-LSTM outperforms various advanced models.

Privacy preservation is a challenging problem in decentralized nonconvex optimization containing sensitive data. Prior approaches to decentralized nonconvex optimization are either not strong enough to protect privacy or exhibit low utility under a high privacy guarantee. To address these issues, we propose a differentially private linearized alternating direction method of multipliers (DP-LADMM), which achieves fast convergence property for nonconvex objective functions while achieving saddle/maximum avoidance under differential privacy guarantee. We also apply the Analytic Gaussian Mechanism to track the cumulative privacy loss and provide a tight global differential privacy guarantee for DP-LADMM. The theoretical analysis offers an explicit convergence rate for our algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to provide explicit convergence for decentralized nonconvex optimization with differential privacy and saddle/maximum avoidance. Numerical simulations and comparison studies on decentralized estimation confirm the superiority of the algorithm and the effectiveness of global privacy preservation.

Recent advancements in unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID) methods have demonstrated high performance by leveraging fine-grained local context, often referred to as part-based methods. However, many existing part-based methods rely on horizontal division to obtain local contexts, leading to misalignment issues caused by various human poses. Moreover, misalignment of semantic information within part features hampers the effectiveness of metric learning, thereby limiting the potential of part-based methods. These challenges result in under-utilization of part features in existing approaches. To address these issues, we introduce the Spatial Cascaded Clustering and Weighted Memory (SCWM) method. SCWM aims to parse and align more accurate local contexts for different human body parts while allowing the memory module to balance hard example mining and noise suppression. Specifically, we first analyze the issues of foreground omissions and spatial confusions in previous methods. We then propose foreground and space corrections to enhance the completeness and reasonableness of human parsing results. Next, we introduce a weighted memory and utilize two weighting strategies. These strategies address hard sample mining for global features and enhance noise resistance for part features, enabling better utilization of both global and part features. Extensive experiments conducted on Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and MSMT17 datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method over numerous state-of-the-art methods.

This article focuses on the H-infinity control for nonlinear two-time-scale systems with event-triggered mechanisms. Utilizing the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, it is feasible to represent nonlinear two-time-scale systems as fuzzy two-time-scale systems. Event-triggered state feedback control strategy is designed for achieving the H-infinity performance, which inevitably leads to the asynchronous phenomenon of the premise variables between continuous time and triggering instants. Under the consideration of the asynchronous phenomenon, based on a H-infinity-dependent Lyapunov function, the fuzzy composite state feedback controller gains and the event-triggered parameters are codesigned in the form of linear matrix inequalities, and the upper bound of H-infinity is provided as well. Furthermore, the proposed event-triggered mechanism ensures the exclusion of Zeno behavior. Finally, simulation results including comparison studies are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Existing retinex-based low-light image enhancement strategies focus heavily on crafting complex networks for Retinex decomposition but often result in imprecise estimations. To overcome the limitations of previous methods, we introduce a straightforward yet effective strategy for Retinex decomposition, dividing images into colormaps and graymaps as new estimations for reflectance and illumination maps. The enhancement of these maps is separately conducted using a diffusion model for improved restoration. Furthermore, we address the dual challenge of perturbation removal and brightness adjustment in illumination maps by incorporating brightness guidance. This guidance aids in precisely adjusting the brightness while eliminating disturbances, ensuring a more effective enhancement process. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experimental analyses demonstrate that our proposed method improves the performance by approximately 4.4% on the LOL dataset compared to other state-of-the-art diffusion-based methods, while also validating the model's generalizability across multiple real-world datasets.

In this article, a distributed secondary controller is proposed for an islanded DC microgrid to preserve privacy information of the local power sources, while achieving current sharing among the generators and voltage regulation of the DC bus. Based on the state decomposition mechanism, the original secondary control signal of each generator is decomposed into two parts: one takes over the role of communicating with neighbors, while the other affects the evolution of the former one and is invisible to the neighbors. Besides, random noises are introduced to mask the true value of the transmitted signals. Under the proposed controller, the current data of the local generators can be kept confidential, as well as the associated privacy power information. In this way, the power security risks caused by privacy information leakage can be avoided. Lastly, both simulation and experiment tests are imposed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

The goal of this work is to develop a task-agnostic feature upsampling operator for dense prediction where the operator is required to facilitate not only region-sensitive tasks like semantic segmentation but also detail-sensitive tasks such as image matting. Prior upsampling operators often can work well in either type of the tasks, but not both. We argue that task-agnostic upsampling should dynamically trade off between semantic preservation and detail delineation, instead of having a bias between the two properties. In this paper, we present FADE, a novel, plug-and-play, lightweight, and task-agnostic upsampling operator by fusing the assets of decoder and encoder features at three levels: (i) considering both the encoder and decoder feature in upsampling kernel generation;(ii) controlling the per-point contribution of the encoder/decoder feature in upsampling kernels with an efficient semi-shift convolutional operator;and (iii) enabling the selective pass of encoder features with a decoder-dependent gating mechanism for compensating details. To improve the practicality of FADE, we additionally study parameter- and memory-efficient implementations of semi-shift convolution. We analyze the upsampling behavior of FADE on toy data and show through large-scale experiments that FADE is task-agnostic with consistent performance improvement on a number of dense prediction tasks with little extra cost. For the first time, we demonstrate robust feature upsampling on both region- and detail-sensitive tasks successfully. Code is made available at: https://***/poppinace/fade

This study proposes a distributed secondary control scheme based on distributed robust iterative learning control (DRILC) for islanded alternating current (AC) microgrids subjected to external disturbances. By employing the decoupled sliding mode consensus approach, voltage regulation, frequency restoration, and accurate active power sharing can be achieved within a finite time on the proposed novel integral terminal sliding mode (ITSM) manifold. Furthermore, the appropriate iterative update law in the ITSM-based controller is utilized to learn and eliminate external disturbances as effectively as possible. In the proposed control scheme, the iterative learning control and sliding mode control are designed to function in a complementary manner, which enhances the performance of the secondary control scheme for multi-objective regulations. The stability criteria and robustness to external disturbances of the closed-loop microgrid system in the iteration and time domains are also rigorously derived with the help of the Lyapunov direct method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed secondary control scheme is validated by case studies of an islanded AC microgrid test system in the MATlab/SimPowerSystems software environment.
