One of the critical challenges faced by the mainstream data mining community is to make the mined patterns or knowledge actionable. Knowledge is considered actionable if users can take direct actions based on such knowledge to their advantage. Among the most important and distinctive actionable knowledge are actionable behavioral rules that can directly and explicitly suggest specific actions to take to influence (restrain or encourage) the behavior in the users' best interest. The problem of mining such rules is a search problem in a framework of support and expected utility. The previous definition of a rule's support assumes that each instance which supports a rule has the uniform contribution to the support. However, this assumption is usually violated in practice to some extent, and thus will hinder the performance of algorithms for mining such rules. In this paper, to handle this problem, an observation-weighting model for support and corresponding mining algorithm are proposed. The experimental results strongly suggest the validity and the superiority of our approach.

We make a thorough kinematic comparison of forward and backward swimming and maneuvering on a self-propelled robot platform that uses sub-carangifbrm swimming as the primary propulsor. An improved Central Pattern Generator (CPG) model allowing free adjustment of phase relationship and directional bias is employed to achieve flexible swimming and smooth transition. Considering the characteristics of forward swimming in carangiform fish and backward swimming in anguilliform fish, various backward swimming patterns for the sub-carangiform robotic fish are suitably created by reversing the direction of propagating propulsive waves. Through a combined use of the CPG control and closed-loop swimming direction control strategy, flexible and precise turning maneuvers in both forward and backward swimming are implemented and compared. By contrast with forward swimming, backward swimming requires a higher frequency or an increased lateral displacement to reach the same relative swimming speed. Noticeably, the phase difference shows a greater impact on forward swimming than on backward swimming. Our observations also indicate that the robotic fish achieves a larger turning rate in forward maneuvering than in backward maneuvering, yet these two maneuvers display comparable turning precision.

The delta parallel mechanism has proven to be a very successful parallel robot design and a number of variants have been proposed in the literature. Taking advantage of its simple construction and the intrinsic features such as high stiffness and accuracy, delta robots play an important role both in the fields of industrial robots and academical fields. In this paper, dynamic modeling and control simulation of a cable-driven modified delta manipulator for haptic interface are discussed. For the parallel mechanism is highly coupled and nonlinear, the dynamic model is of great importance for model-based controller to achieve a satisfactory performance. Based on the principle of virtual work, the dynamic equations of this manipulator are established. The proportional-derivative (PD) computed torque control scheme is proposed for trajectory tracking. With the help of the virtual prototype builded in ADAMS software and used in MATLAB software, the co-simulation is accomplished and the results validate the performance of the controller proposed in this paper.

A new torso design of humanoid robot is proposed as a 3-DOF PKM (Parallel Kinematic Manipulator) structure by using results of a biomimetic analysis of torso in humans and animals. Main characteristics of torso in nature are presented from which design requirements are outlined for a solution in humanoid robot. The PKM torso is consist of two platforms and four UPU mechanisms. The usefulness of such a biomimetic inspiration is proved by a numerical simulation of the proposed PKM torso in its basic movements.

Differential spatial modulation (DSM) is a newly proposed differential modulation technique tailored to spatial modulation (SM), which requires no channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. DSM can offer flexible tradeoff between the reception reliability and the system complexity. In this paper, we are the first to study the adoption of DSM in a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying system, which consists of a two-antenna source, a single-antenna relay, and a single-antenna destination, so as to reduce the burden of channel tracking on both the relay and the destination. We derive a general upper bound on the average bit error probability (ABEP) achieved by the system. Moreover, an exact closed-form ABEP expression and the asymptotic result are provided for BPSK signaling in Rayleigh fading environment. The same system setup with the adoption of SM at the source is chosen as a benchmark for performance comparisons. Simulation results validate the analysis and reveal a 3dB signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) penalty of the considered system compared with the benchmark.
