In this research, we propose a novel approach to addressing the exploration–exploitation dilemma in multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms using fractal dimensions. The fractal dimension is used in the algorithms to represent the reward distributions of arms which represents the uncertainty of the arm in receiving the reward. The fractal dimension of the reward distribution is implemented in the most popular MAB optimization algorithms, such as Epsilon-Greedy, Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), Exponential-weight algorithm for Exploration and Exploitation (EXP3), and Thompson Sampling in this study. The algorithm prefers to choose arm with the least fractal dimension, as a lower fractal dimension represents less uncertainty of the arm. The performance of the fractal-enhanced MAB optimization algorithms is compared with traditional algorithms in non-stationary environments with various numbers of arms. The proposed approach provides a novel way to quantify and utilize the uncertainty of each arm in MAB problems.

Automatic person identification (API) using human biometrics is essential and highly demanded compared to traditional API methods, where a person is automatically identified using his/her distinct characteristics including speech, fingerprint, iris, handwritten signatures, and others. The fusion of more than one human biometric produces bimodal and multimodal API systems that normally outperform single modality systems. This paper presents our work towards fusing speech and handwritten signatures for developing a bimodal API system, where fusion was conducted at the decision level due to the differences in the type and format of the features extracted. A data set is created that contains recordings of usernames and handwritten signatures of 100 persons (50 males and 50 females), where each person recorded his/her username 30 times and provided his/her handwritten signature 30 times. Consequently, a total of 3000 utterances and 3000 handwritten signatures were collected. The speech API used Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) technique for features extraction and Vector Quantization (VQ) for features training and classification. On the other hand, the handwritten signatures API used global features for reflecting the structure of the hand signature image such as image area, pure height, pure width and signature height and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) architecture of Artificial Neural Network for features training and classification. Once the best matches for both the speech and the handwritten signatures API are produced, the fusion process takes place at decision level. It computes the difference between the two best matches for each modality and selects the modality of the maximum difference. Based on our experimental results, the bimodal API obtained an average recognition rate of 96.40%, whereas the speech API and the handwritten signatures API obtained average recognition rates of 92.60% and 75.20%, respectively. Therefore, the bimodal API system is a

The impact of information dissemination on epidemic control is essentially subject to individual behaviors. Vaccination is one of the most effective strategies against the epidemic spread, whose correlation with the information dissemination should be better understood. To this end, we propose an evolutionary vaccination game model in multiplex networks by integrating an information-epidemic spreading process into the vaccination dynamics, and explore how information dissemination influences vaccination. The spreading process is described by a two-layer coupled susceptible-alert-infected-susceptible(SAIS) model, where the strength coefficient between two layers characterizes the tendency and intensity of information *** find that the impact of information dissemination on vaccination decision-making depends on not only the vaccination cost and network topology, but also the stage of the system evolution. For instance, in a two-layer BA scale-free network, information dissemination helps to improve vaccination density only at the early stage of the system evolution, as well as when the vaccination cost is smaller. A counter-intuitive conclusion that more information transmission cannot promote vaccination is obtained when the vaccination cost is larger. Moreover, we study the impact of the strength coefficient and individual sensitivity on the fraction of infected individuals and social cost, and unveil the role of information dissemination in controlling the epidemic.
