Nonlinear system identification is one of the most important topics all over the word. Until now, there are many of off-line identification methods which exhibit well performance. The online approach with non-Gaussian noise, however, is still a challenge. For a class of nonlinear systems where all of the candidate parameters are contained in a definite parameter set, an online parameters and sates estimation method is proposed based on particle filter and Bayes theorem as the following steps. Firstly, regarding all of the candidates, the states are estimated by particle filter(PF) algorithm. Secondly the posterior probabilities of all of candidates are calculated according to the Bayes theorem;then the weights of all of the candidates are obtained through normalization. Lastly, the parameters and sates are estimated ultimately according to the weighted sum of all of the candidates and states. Numerical illustrations are presented to exhibit the application of the method proposed herein, and the performance of the method is examined.

The brain rhythms defined by specific frequency-bands of electroencephalography (EEG) signal are generally thought to represent diverse cognitive processes which wax and wane with sub-second resolutions at different parts of the cortex. Furthermore, single-trial analysis of EEG is believed to show more realistic pictures of ongoing and event-related activities of the brain with millisecond resolution. Here, we present a nonparametric multiple change-point detection and estimation method for analysis of single-trial EEG recorded during auditory and visual oddball tasks. In a simple attention task like oddball, the frontal cortex of the brain is responsible for distinguishing and responding appropriately to target and standard events. With sub-second resolution at the frontal cortex, we show that the α-band activity changes according to “inhibition timing” hypothesis and the β-band activity is in line with “maintaining the status quo” hypothesis.

Disrupting the circadian rhythms will cause health problems such as sleep disorders, memory disorders and obesity. Finding the suitable external stimulation to synchronize a model with a desired phase is a biologically significant issue. The phase control of circadian rhythms for Drosophila is considered from control engineering viewpoint in this paper. If all parameters of the model are known, we can use the feedback linearization to design a tracking controller for the phase ***, in practice, parameters uncertainties always exist. To deal with this problem, a slide-mode controller is proposed for the phase tracking control of circadian rhythms. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To regain mobility, stroke patients need to receive repetitive and intensive therapy. Robot-assisted rehabilitation is an active area of research. Cheap robotic leg rehabilitation devices should be developed to meet the demands and assist most patients. A low cost hip-knee exoskeleton prototype powered by pneumatic muscles was developed. On this basis, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) induced paralyzed muscles to realize ankle joint rehabilitation training. As both of pneumatic muscle and FES induced muscle possess highly nonlinear characteristics, a sliding control algorithm called Chattering mitigation Robust Variable control (CRVC) was applied to leg hybrid rehabilitation. The combination of exoskeleton and FES is a promising way to reduce the cost and the complexity of designing hip-knee-ankle exoskeleton. The proposed hybrid method is verified by treadmill-based gait training experiments.

Although it has become an accepted lay view that when labeling objects through crowdsourcing systems, non-expert annotators often exhibit biases, this argument lacks sufficient evidential observation and systematic empirical study. This paper initially analyzes eight real-world datasets from different domains whose class labels were collected from crowdsourcing systems. Our analyses show that biased labeling is a systematic tendency for binary categorization; in other words, for a large number of annotators, their labeling qualities on the negative class (supposed to be the majority) are significantly greater than are those on the positive class (minority). Therefore, the paper empirically studies the performance of four existing EM-based consensus algorithms , DS, GLAD, RY, and ZenCrowd, on these datasets. Our investigation shows that all of these state-of-the-art algorithms ignore the potential bias characteristics of datasets and perform badly although they model the complexity of the systems. To address the issue of handling biased labeling, the paper further proposes a novel consensus algorithm, namely adaptive weighted majority voting (AWMV), based on the statistical difference between the labeling qualities of the two classes. AWMV utilizes the frequency of positive labels in the multiple noisy label set of each example to obtain a bias rate and then assigns weights derived from the bias rate to negative and positive labels. Comparison results among the five consensus algorithms (AWMV and the four existing) show that the proposed AWMV algorithm has the best overall performance. Finally, this paper notes some potential related topics for future study.
