Matrix minimization techniques that employ the nuclear norm have gained recognition for their applicability in tasks like image inpainting, clustering, classification, and reconstruction. However, they come with inherent biases and computational burdens, especially when used to relax the rank function, making them less effective and efficient in real-world scenarios. To address these challenges, our research focuses on generalized nonconvex rank regularization problems in robust matrix completion, low-rank representation, and robust matrix regression. We introduce innovative approaches for effective and efficient low-rank matrix learning, grounded in generalized nonconvex rank relaxations inspired by various substitutes for the ?0-norm relaxed functions. These relaxations allow us to more accurately capture low-rank structures. Our optimization strategy employs a nonconvex and multi-variable alternating direction method of multipliers, backed by rigorous theoretical analysis for complexity and *** algorithm iteratively updates blocks of variables, ensuring efficient convergence. Additionally, we incorporate the randomized singular value decomposition technique and/or other acceleration strategies to enhance the computational efficiency of our approach, particularly for large-scale constrained minimization problems. In conclusion, our experimental results across a variety of image vision-related application tasks unequivocally demonstrate the superiority of our proposed methodologies in terms of both efficacy and efficiency when compared to most other related learning methods.

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a promising technique to increase spectral efficiency and support various emerging applications by sharing the spectrum and hardware between these functionalities. However, the traditional ISAC schemes are highly dependent on the accurate mathematical model and suffer from the challenges of high complexity and poor performance in practical scenarios. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a viable technique to address these issues due to its powerful learning capabilities, satisfactory generalization capability, fast inference speed, and high adaptability for dynamic environments, facilitating a system design shift from model-driven to data-driven. Intelligent ISAC, which integrates AI into ISAC, has been a hot topic that has attracted many researchers to investigate. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of intelligent ISAC, including its motivation, typical applications, recent trends, and challenges. In particular, we first introduce the basic principle of ISAC, followed by its key techniques. Then, an overview of AI and a comparison between model-based and AI-based methods for ISAC are provided. Furthermore, the typical applications of AI in ISAC and the recent trends for AI-enabled ISAC are reviewed. Finally, the future research issues and challenges of intelligent ISAC are discussed.

The perception in most existing vision-based reinforcement learning(RL) models for robotic manipulation relies heavily on static third-person or hand-mounted first-person cameras. In scenarios with occlusions and limited maneuvering space, these carefully positioned cameras often struggle to provide effective visual observations during manipulation. Taking inspiration from human capabilities, we introduce a novel RL-based dual-arm active visual-guided manipulation model(DAVMM), which simultaneously infers “eye” actions and “hand” actions for two separate robotic arms(referred to as the vision-arm and the worker-arm) based on current observations, empowering the robot with the ability to actively perceive and interact with its environment. To handle the extensive redundant observation-action space, we propose a decouplable target-centric reward paradigm to offer stable guidance for the training process. For making fine-grained manipulation action decisions, alongside a global scene image encoder, we utilize an independent encoder to extract local target texture features,enabling the simultaneous acquisition of both global and detailed local information. Additionally, we employ residual-RL and curriculum learning techniques to further enhance our model's sample efficiency and training stability. We conducted comparative experiments and analyses of DAVMM against a set of strong baselines on three occluded and narrow-space manipulation tasks. DAVMM notably improves the success rates across all manipulation tasks and showcases rapid learning capabilities.

Recently, redactable blockchain has been proposed and leveraged in a wide range of real systems for its unique properties of decentralization, traceability, and transparency while ensuring controllable on-chain data redaction. However, the development of redactable blockchain is now obstructed by three limitations, which are data privacy breaches, high communication overhead, and low searching efficiency, respectively. In this paper, we propose PriChain, the first efficient privacy-preserving fine-grained redactable blockchain in decentralized settings. PriChain provides data owners with rights to control who can read and redact on-chain data while maintaining downward compatibility, ensuring the one who can redact will be able to read. Specifically, inspired by the concept of multi-authority attribute-based encryption, we utilize the isomorphism of the access control tree, realizing fine-grained redaction mechanism, downward compatibility, and collusion resistance. With the newly designed structure, PriChain can realize O(n) communication and storage overhead compared to prior O(n2) schemes. Furthermore, we integrate multiple access trees into a tree-based dictionary, optimizing searching efficiency. Theoretical analysis proves that PriChain is secure against the chosen-plaintext attack and has competitive complexity. The experimental evaluations show that PriChain realizes 10× efficiency improvement of searching and 100× lower communication and storage overhead on average compared with existing schemes.

Anomaly detection(AD) has been extensively studied and applied across various scenarios in recent years. However, gaps remain between the current performance and the desired recognition accuracy required for practical *** paper analyzes two fundamental failure cases in the baseline AD model and identifies key reasons that limit the recognition accuracy of existing approaches. Specifically, by Case-1, we found that the main reason detrimental to current AD methods is that the inputs to the recovery model contain a large number of detailed features to be recovered, which leads to the normal/abnormal area has not/has been recovered into its original state. By Case-2, we surprisingly found that the abnormal area that cannot be recognized in image-level representations can be easily recognized in the feature-level representation. Based on the above observations, we propose a novel recover-then-discriminate(ReDi) framework for *** takes a self-generated feature map(e.g., histogram of oriented gradients) and a selected prompted image as explicit input information to address the identified in Case-1. Additionally, a feature-level discriminative network is introduced to amplify abnormal differences between the recovered and input representations. Extensive experiments on two widely used yet challenging AD datasets demonstrate that ReDi achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy.

Sampling and communication are both crucial for coordination in multi-agent systems(MASs), with sampling capturing raw data from the environment for control decision making, and communication ensuring the data is shared effectively for synchronized and informed control decisions across agents. However, practical MASs often operate in environments where continuous and synchronous data samplings and exchanges are impractical, necessitating strategies that can handle intermittent sampling and communication constraints. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances in distributed coordination control of MASs under intermittent sampling and communication, focusing on both foundational principles and state-of-the-art techniques. After introducing fundamentals, such as communication topologies,agent dynamics, control laws, and typical coordination objectives, the distinctions between sampling and communication are elaborated, exploring deterministic versus random, synchronous versus asynchronous, and instantaneous versus sequential scenarios. A detailed review of emerging trends and techniques is then presented, covering time-triggered, event-triggered,communication-protocol-based, and denial-of-service-resilient coordination control. These techniques are analyzed across various attack models, including those based on data loss, sampled data, time constraints, and topology switching. By synthesizing these developments, this survey aims to equip researchers and practitioners with a clearer understanding of current challenges and methodologies, concluding with insights into promising future directions.

Event-triggered control(ETC) offers an efficient strategy for significantly reducing communication and computation resources in networked systems by triggering control updates only when necessary. This study provides an overview of recent advances in ETC. First, data-driven(or model-free) ETC, which has gained significant attention in recent years, is reviewed for linear systems with and without unknown disturbances. Second, co-design issues are deeply analyzed for both state feedback and dynamic output feedback control. Third, the separation principle is thoroughly examined in the context of event-triggered observer-based output feedback control. Fourth, some insightful discussions are made on the ideal execution property of event-triggered schemes, as well as the modeling of ETC under packet dropouts. Finally, several challenging issues for future research are outlined.
