Prediction markets are markets where participants trade contracts whose payoffs are tied to a future event, thereby yielding prices that can be interpreted as market aggregated forecasts. Past studies have shown that the prediction markets can provide accurate forecasts, sometimes better than sophisticated statistical tools. Due to their advantages, prediction markets have been widely used in the prediction of elections, project management, product quality, and impact of events. However, prediction markets also have some limitations, e.g., poor anonymity and limited market liquidity. In this paper, we propose to apply blockchain powered smart contracts to the prediction markets. First, we give a comprehensive overview on the prediction markets, including their theoretical basis, classification and applications. Second, we present how to design prediction markets based on smart contracts. Then, the algorithm of contracts implementation is proposed. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, an intra-enterprise prediction market is built based on a private blockchain. The experimental results show that the market can make accurate prediction for a particular event. In addition, the autonomy, self-sufficiency, and decentralization characteristics of blockchain make the prediction markets more efficient and robust.

Recently deep learning based architectures have been widely deployed in many problems of artificial intelligence. Among deep learning models, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been reported in numerous successful applications such as object recognition, and natural language processing. The convolutional neural networks are trained by back-propagating the classification error using the Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm, which requires a large amount of data and slows the training process. To overcome these difficulties, a new fast and accurate approach based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to train any convolutional neural network has been proposed. The developed framework (ELM-CNN) is based on the concept of auto-encoding to learn the convolutional filters with biases, by reconstructing the normalized input and the intercept term. In this paper, systematic comparison with traditional back-propagation based training method (BP-CNN) has been made with respect to two aspects qualitative and quantitative. The experimental results on the popular MNIST dataset show that the ELM-CNN algorithm achieves competitive results in terms of generalization performance and up to 16 times faster than the back-propagation based training of CNN.

In this paper, we address the problem of person re-identification and action recognition for service robots,which undergoes lack of training dataset for model learning, reduction of feature set discriminative power in changing scenarios, and high complexity of the algorithm computation. An online context-based person re-identification algorithm is proposed, which learns the person model online without pre-collect dataset and adjusts the weight of features according to the context information. An online biometric-based action recognition algorithm is proposed, actions are recognized by simply matching the skeleton vectors extracted from five linkage mechanisms of human body. The proposed algorithms are evaluated on a service robot system, extensive experimental results show that they performs efficiently and effectively in various real-life scenarios.

In this paper, we propose a data-driven adaptive dynamic programming approach to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi(HJ) equations for the two-player nonzero-sum(NZS) game with completely unknown dynamics. First, the model-based policy iteration(PI) algorithm is given, where the knowledge of system dynamics is required. To relax this requirement,a data-driven adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) is proposed in this paper to solve the unknown nonlinear NZS game with only online data. Neural network approximators are constructed to approach the solution of the HJ equations. The online data is collected under the two initial admissible control policies. Then, the NN weights are updated based on the least-squares method using the collected online data repeatedly, which is a kind of the off-policy learning ***, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
