Terrorism organizations are devising increasingly sophisticated plans to conduct attacks. The ability of emulating or constructing attack plans by potential terrorists can help us understand the intents and motivation behind terrorism activities. A feasible computational method to construct plans is planning technique in AI. Traditionally, AI planning methods rely on a predefined domain theory which is compiled by domain experts manually. To facilitate domain theory construction and plan generation, we propose a method to construct domain theory automatically from free text data. The effectiveness of our proposed approach is evaluated empirically through experimental studies using real world terrorist plans .

In nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC), the system performance is greatly dependent upon the accuracy of the predictive model and the efficiency of the online optimization algorithm. In this paper, a novel NMPC scheme with the integration of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and recently proposed general-purpose heuristic “Extremal Optimization (EO)” is presented. With the superior features of self-organized criticality (SOC), non-equilibrium dynamics, coevolutions in statistical mechanics and ecosystems respectively, a carefully designed EO based on “horizon based mutation strategy” is used as an online solver to obtain optimal future control inputs of NMPC, in which a multi-step-ahead SVM predictive model is employed. Furthermore, simulation studies on a typical nonlinear system are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, decentralized static output feedback is considered for a class of dynamic networks with each node being a nonlinear system with infinite equilibria. Based on the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma, linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are established to guarantee the stability of such dynamic networks. Furthermore, an interesting conclusion is reached: the stability problem for the whole Nn-dimensional dynamic networks can be converted into the simple n-dimensional space in terms of only two LMIs. A concrete application of output stabilization of coupled phase-locked loop networks is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Multi-targets video tracking theory is introduced briefly, and the structured Branching MHT algorithm is applied in Multi-targets video tracking system. Connected with Kalman filter, hypotheses are built by SB/MHT using measures which are stretched by Bhattacharyya coefficient. In this way, Multi-targets video tracking can carry out. Feasibility of this method is validated by simulation.

Abstract In this paper, an improved mean-square exponential stability condition and delayed-state-feedback controller for stochastic Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying state delays are obtained. First, by constructing a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a mean-square exponential stability condition for the above systems is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Here, the decay rate can be a finite positive constant in a range and the derivative of time-varying delays is only required to have an upper bound which is not required to be less than 1. Then, based on the proposed stability condition, a delayed-state-feedback controller is designed. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

In this work, we took the analysis of neural interaction based on the data recorded from the motor cortex of a monkey, when it was trained to complete multi-targets reach-to-grasp tasks. As a recently proved effective tool, Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) was applied to model and infer interactions of dependence between neurons. In the results, the gained networks of neural interactions, which correspond to different tasks with different directions and orientations, indicated that the target information was not encoded in simple ways by neuronal networks. We also explored the difference of neural interactions between delayed period and peri-movement period during reach-to-grasp task. We found that the motor control process always led to relatively more complex neural interaction networks than the plan thinking process.

Collaborative social annotation systems allow users to record and share their original keywords or tag attachments to Web resources such as Web pages, photos, or videos. These annotations are a method for organizing and labeling information. They have the potential to help users navigate the Web and locate the needed resources. However, since annotations axe posted by users under no central control, there exist problems such as spare and synonymous annotations. To efficiently use annotation information to facilitate knowledge discovery from the Web, it is advantageous if we organize social annotations from semantic perspective and embed them into algorithms for knowledge discovery. This inspires the Web page recommendation with annotations, in which users and Web pages are clustered so that semantically similar items can be related. In this paper we propose four graphic models which cluster users, Web pages and annotations and recommend Web pages for given users by assigning items to the right cluster first. The algorithms are then compared to the classical collaborative filtering recommendation method on a real-world data set. Our result indicates that the graphic models provide better recommendation performance and are robust to fit for the real applications.

Abstract In this paper, an optimal control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with time delays in both state and control variables with respect to a quadratic performance index function is proposed using a new iterative adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm. By introducing a delay matrix function, the explicit expression of the optimal control is obtained using the dynamic programming theory and the optimal control can iteratively be obtained using the adaptive critic technique. Convergence analysis is presented to prove that the performance index function can reach the optimum by the proposed method. Neural networks are used to approximate the performance index function, compute the optimal control policy, solve delay matrix function, and model the nonlinear system, respectively, for facilitating the implementation of the iterative ADP algorithm. Two examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed optimal control scheme.

Cultural modeling (CM) is an emergent and promising research area in social computing. It aims to develop behavioral models of human groups and analyze the impact of culture factors on human group behavior using computational methods. Machine learning methods, in particular classification, play a critical role in such applications. Since various cultural-related data sets possess different characteristics, it is important to gain a computational understanding of performance characteristics of various machine learning methods. In this paper, we investigate the performance of seven representative classification algorithms using a benchmark cultural modeling data set and analyze the experimental results as to group behavior forecasting.

A new phase-shifting error compensating algorithm for phase-measuring profilometry is proposed. In this error detecting algorithm, it is supposed that sinusoidal fringe is projected to the plate, thus the phase differences between adjacent pixels are equal. Three adjacent phase points are taken as the research object. Combining the principle of phase compensation measurement, each phase of the point is presented as an equation containing the phase-shifting error. According to the characteristics that the phase differences between adjacent pixels are equal, an equation to calculate the phase-shifting error is constructed. Then the phase shifting error is taken into account in the original algorithm for error compensation. Simulation results show the inhibitory effect of the error compensation by using the novel algorithm. The proposed algorithm is also used for three-dimensional reconstruction. The final result shows that the new compensation algorithm is better than the original one obviously. This error compensating algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of three-dimensional measurement.
