Gait recognition is a prominent biometric recognition technique extensively employed in public security. Appearance-based and model-based gait recognition are two categories of methods commonly used. Specifically, appearance-based methods, which use silhouettes to represent body information, typically outperform model-based methods that rely on skeleton data, making them more popular. Recently, the shift from single-frame templates to multiframe silhouettes has advanced appearance-based gait recognition with better spatiotemporal representation. However, there is a notable lack of comprehensive studies that deepen the understanding of multiframe appearance-based gait recognition methods. This article reviews various methods to trace the evolution of gait recognition. Furthermore, we unify various performant models in one framework, study the overlooked effects on data arrangement, and explore the scaling ability of existing methods. Besides the advancement in gait recognition, we also summarize the current challenges and future prospects to foster future research.

Human and social factors are essential to transportation systems, yet top-down management fails to consider them sufficiently. Consequently, management strategies are not tailored to human needs and are inadequate in providing transportation intelligence. This article investigates a management architecture based on decentralized/distributed autonomous operations/organizations (DAOs) that considers both the technical and societal aspects in our transportation metaverse, TransVerse. This design maps people's transportation needs in physical space to their digital counterparts in cyberspace, utilizing blockchain technology to guarantee the secure exchange of information and ultimately bring about the Internet of Minds (IoM). With the federated intelligence that emerged in IoM, we can devise reliable and prompt traffic decisions by incorporating consensus, community voting, and smart contracts into the organizational, coordination, and execution structure. Details on operational procedures and key technologies are also covered. To demonstrate the efficacy of DAOs-based management, a case study of world model-driven cooperative signal control is provided, indicating its promising application in future transportation management.

As a relatively new physiological signal of brain, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is being used more and more in brain-computer interface field, especially in the task of motor imagery. However, the classification accuracy based on this signal is relatively low. To improve the accuracy of classification, this paper proposes a new experimental paradigm and only uses fNIRS signals to complete the classification task of six subjects. Notably, the experiment is carried out in a non-laboratory environment, and movements of motion imagination are properly designed. And when the subjects are imagining the motions, they are also subvocalizing the movements to prevent distraction. Therefore, according to the motor area theory of the cerebral cortex, the positions of the fNIRS probes have been slightly adjusted compared with other methods. Next, the signals are classified by nine classification methods, and the different features and classification methods are compared. The results show that under this new experimental paradigm, the classification accuracy of 89.12% and 88.47% can be achieved using the support vector machine method and the random forest method, respectively, which shows that the paradigm is effective. Finally, by selecting five channels with the largest variance after empirical mode decomposition of the original signal, similar classification results can be achieved.

In single-agent Markov decision processes, an agent can optimize its policy based on the interaction with the environment. In multiplayer Markov games (MGs), however, the interaction is nonstationary due to the behaviors of other players, so the agent has no fixed optimization objective. The challenge becomes finding equilibrium policies for all players. In this research, we treat the evolution of player policies as a dynamical process and propose a novel learning scheme for Nash equilibrium. The core is to evolve one's policy according to not just its current in-game performance, but an aggregation of its performance over history. We show that for a variety of MGs, players in our learning scheme will provably converge to a point that is an approximation to Nash equilibrium. Combined with neural networks, we develop an empirical policy optimization algorithm, which is implemented in a reinforcement-learning framework and runs in a distributed way, with each player optimizing its policy based on own observations. We use two numerical examples to validate the convergence property on small-scale MGs, and a pong example to show the potential on large games.

Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) share their kernels among all positions of the input, which may constrain the representation ability in feature extraction. Dynamic convolution proposes to generate different kernels for different inputs to improve the model capacity. However, the total parameters of the dynamic network can be significantly huge. In this article, we propose a lightweight dynamic convolution method to strengthen traditional CNNs with an affordable increase of total parameters and multiply-adds. Instead of generating the whole kernels directly or combining several static kernels, we choose to "look inside ", learning the attention within convolutional kernels. An extra network is used to adjust the weights of kernels for every feature aggregation operation. By combining local and global contexts, the proposed approach can capture the variance among different samples, the variance in different positions of the feature maps, and the variance in different positions inside sliding windows. With a minor increase in the number of model parameters, remarkable improvements in image classification on CIFAR and ImageNet with multiple backbones have been obtained. Experiments on object detection also verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
