Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a population-based meta-heuristic for combinatorial optimization problems such as communication network routing problem (CNRP). This paper proposes an improved ant colony optimization (IACO), which adapts a new strategy to update the increased pheromone, called ant-weight strategy, and a mutation operation, to solve CNRP. The simulation result for a benchmark problem is reported and compared to the simple ant colony optimization (ACO).

Recently, many researchers have demonstrated that computation by DNA tile self-assembly may be scalable and it is considered as a promising technique in nanotechnology. In this paper, we show how the tile self-assembly process can be used for solving the 0-1 multi-objective knapsack problem by mainly constructing four small systems which are nondeterministic guess system, multiplication system, addition system and comparing system, by which we can probabilistically get the feasible solution of the problem. Our model can successfully perform the 0-1 multi-objective knapsack problem in polynomial time with optimal Theta(1) distinct tile types, parallely and at very low cost.

To address the formation tracking issue of mobile robotic systems, this paper constructs a novel hybrid dynamic event-triggered intermittent control strategy, which can achieve the exponential synchronization of the systems. Considering the limited control resources, the intermittent control method is introduced into the distributed control strategy to save resources, and the existing intermittent control model is reconstructed to describe the system model better. A hybrid dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed by combining the dynamic event-triggered method with the time sampling strategy, eliminating the Zeno phenomenon. The control time sequences in the developed intermittent control strategy are automatically selected by the hybrid dynamic event-triggered sequences, rather than artificially designed in advance, which reduces a certain degree of design complexity. The developed control strategy effectively saves control resources while alleviating the burden of network communication. Sufficient conditions for achieving exponential synchronization formation tracking are provided, and the exponential convergence of the formation error is demonstrated through the proposed lemma. Finally, a control task of multi-mobile robots formation is presented to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis. IEEE

Belief propagation (BP) is a well-celebrated iterative optimization algorithm in statistical learning over network graphs with vast applications in many scientific and engineering fields. This paper studies a fundamental property of this algorithm, namely, its convergence behaviour. Our study is conducted through the problem of distributed state estimation for a networked linear system with additive Gaussian noises, using the weighted least-squares criterion. The corresponding BP algorithm is known as Gaussian BP. Our main contribution is to show that Gaussian BP is guaranteed to converge, under a mild regularity condition. Our result significantly generalizes previous known results on BP's convergence properties, as our study allows general network graphs with cycles and network nodes with random vectors. This result is expected to inspire further investigation of BP and wider applications of BP in distributed estimation and control.

A robust appearance model is usually required in visual tracking, which can handle pose variation, illumination variation, occlusion and many other interferences occurring in video. So far, a number of tracking algorithms make use of image samples in previous frames to update appearance models. There are many limitations of that approach: 1) At the beginning of tracking, there exists no sufficient amount of data for online update because these adaptive models are data-dependent and 2) in many challenging situations, robustly updating the appearance models is difficult, which often results in drift problems. In this paper, we proposed a tracking algorithm based on compressive sensing theory and particle filter framework. Features are extracted by random projection with data-independent basis. Particle filter is employed to make a more accurate estimation of the target location and make much of the updated classifier. The robustness and the effectiveness of our tracker have been demonstrated in several experiments.

This paper studies a class of personalized distributed bilevel optimization problems over networks, where nodes aim at jointly optimizing the sum of outer-level objectives that depend on the solution of inner-level optimization problems. The existing algorithms for distributed bilevel optimization problems usually require extra computation loops for estimating hypergradients. To facilitate computational efficiency, we develop a loopless distributed algorithm that employs certain steps to approximate the optimal solution of innerlevel optimization problems, and track Hessian-inverse-vector products in a recursive manner. We prove that for stochastic nonconvex-strongly-convex problems, the proposed algorithm achieves the state of the art O(∊ −2 ) communication cost, while improving the computational cost by O(1og(1/∊)). Numerical experiments validate our theoretical findings.

Light field (LF) super-resolution has achieved remarkable results with the assumption of only downsampling. However, real-world LF scenes contain multiple degradation effects, which makes it difficult for existing methods to deal with hybrid distortions. In this paper, we propose a disentangled feature distillation framework for LF super-resolution with degradations. To reduce the learning difficulty, we propose a feature disentanglement mechanism to split the mixed reconstruction for both super-resolution and denoising into two single task learning processes. We also propose a feature enhancement strategy via knowledge distillation to transfer prior feature of each single reconstruction to our task of mixed reconstruction. Finally, the separate restored representations are fused to reconstruct a clean high-resolution LF. Experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our framework for different scale factors and noise levels. Additionally, our approach can also obtain excellent performance for joint super-resolution and deblurring, showing its gencralization for practical LF super-resolution applications.

It is important to reuse existing motion capture data for reduction of the animation producing costs as well as the efficiency of the producing process. Because its motion curve has no control point, however, captured data is difficult to modify interactively. Motion transition is a useful method for reusing existing motion data. It generates a seamless intermediate motion with two short motion sequences. In this paper, the Uniform Posture Map (UPM) is proposed to perform motion transitions. The UPM is organized through the quantization of various postures with an unsupervised learning algorithm; it places the output neurons with similar postures in adjacent positions. Using this property, an intermediate posture of applied two postures is generated; the generating posture is used as a key-frame to make an interpolating motion. The UPM needs fewer computational costs, in comparison with other motion transition algorithms. It provides a control parameter; an animator can not only control the motion simply by adjusting this parameter but also produce animation interactively. The UPM prevents the generating of the invalid output neurons to present unreal postures in the learning phase; thus, it makes more realistic motion curves; finally it contributes to the making of more natural motions. The motion transition algorithm proposed in this paper can be applied to various fields such as real time 3D games virtual reality applications, and web 3D applications.

Object tracking is an important capability for robots tasked with interacting with humans and the environment, and it enables robots to manipulate objects. In object tracking, selecting samples to learn a robust and efficient appearance model is a challenging task. Model learning determines both the strategy and frequency of model updating, which concerns many details that can affect the tracking results. In this paper, we propose an object tracking approach by formulating a new objective function that integrates the learning paradigm of self-paced learning into object tracking such that reliable samples can be automatically selected for model learning. Sample weights and model parameters can be learned by minimizing this single objective function under the framework of kernelized correlation filters. Moreover, a real-valued error-tolerant self-paced function with a constraint vector is proposed to combine prior knowledge, i.e., the characteristics of object tracking, with information learned during tracking. We demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our object tracking approach on a recent object tracking benchmark data set: OTB 2013.
