The introduction of cockpit assistance systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) hold the potential to significantly increase flight safety and efficiency, especially in complex and time-critical situations. However, there is limited understanding how an AI-based system could effectively assist pilots in the decision-making process. This interview study investigates the decision-making process of pilots in a complex decision-making scenario with and without the support of a Level 1B AI-based assistance system (EASA Roadmap 2.0, 2023). In a complex in-flight diversion scenario, the AI-based assistance system (named Virtual Crew Assistant) provides an assessment of the risks and benefits of suitable alternates in a user-friendly interface, enabling a direct comparison of the given alternates. Semi-standardized expert interviews were conducted with 12 commercial aviation pilots. The pilots were asked to perform a decision-making process for a complex scenario - using the conventional FOR-DEC decision-making model - with and without the support of a static prototype of the Virtual Crew Assistant (VCA). During the decision-making process, the experts were instructed to think aloud, and were also requested to rate the workload for each condition. Working with the AI-based system workload was rated significantly lower than working without the AI-based system. In addition, conditions for Trust, Explainable AI, Usability and Limitations of AI-based assistance systems in the cockpit were investigated. Other possible functions of the AI-based system suggested by the experts are given and extending the human-machine interaction to higher collaborative AI-Levels is discussed.

In this paper, we develop a regularized higher-order Taylor based method for solving composite (e.g., nonlinear least-squares) problems. At each iteration, we replace each smooth component of the objective function by a higher-order Taylor approximation with an appropriate regularization, leading to a regularized higher-order Taylor approximation (RHOTA) algorithm. We derive global convergence guarantees for RHOTA algorithm. In particular, we prove stationary point convergence guarantees for the iterates generated by RHOTA, and leveraging a Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) type property of the objective function, we derive improved rates depending on the KL parameter. When the Taylor approximation is of order 2, we present an efficient implementation of RHOTA algorithm, demonstrating that the resulting nonconvex subproblem can be effectively solved utilizing standard convex programming tools. Furthermore, we extend the scope of our investigation to include the behavior and efficacy of RHOTA algorithm in handling systems of nonlinear equations and optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints deriving new rates under improved constraint qualifications conditions. Finally, we consider solving the phase retrieval problem with a higher-order proximal point algorithm, showcasing its rapid convergence rate for this particular application. Numerical simulations on phase retrieval and output feedback control problems also demonstrate the efficacy and performance of the proposed methods when compared to some state-of-the-art optimization methods and software.

Supervisory control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems can collect abundant information about wind farm operation and environment. To better make use of SCADA data, a periodic-enhanced informer model for short-term wind power forecasting using scada data is proposed. Firstly, to effectively filter out noise in SCADA data, a v-p curve-based method is adopted by incorporating a quartile approach to remove sparse outliers;a density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is then employed to eliminate stacked outliers from the power curve. Secondly, a multi-feature input set selection method based on Maximization Information Coefficient is introduced to make better use of the SCADA system data by reducing the number of features. Thirdly, a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) is designed to extract the scalar projection of the input set, followed by fusing the local time stamp and global time stamp to build the periodic information enhanced prediction model embedding layer. Subsequently, the enhanced input set is fed into an informer model to predict future wind power. Finally, considering the multiple temporal scales structure characteristics present in the dataset, a multi-scale deep fusion module is established in the informer model to deeply integrate the features of different scales. It can simultaneously avoid the resource waste and overfitting problems caused by increasing the network depth. The experimental results, which are obtained from several deep learning methods on real SCADA data, demonstrate that the suggested approach has good predictive capability. © 2010-2012 IEEE.

In this document, a nonlinear control law for a grid-tied converter is introduced. The converter topology consists of a voltage source inverter (VSI) linked to the grid through an inductive-capacitive second-order filter, its input being connected to a capacitive DC-link supplied by a renewable energy-based input power source. In order to achieve good performance in presence of large state excursions caused mainly by substantial set-point modifications and/or considerable disturbances, a nonlinear control law based on a complex-valued feedback linearization strategy is designed. Specifically, a flat output is adopted, which is given by the summation of the energy stored in the DC-link capacitor and in the output filter’s inductor and capacitor, as well as by the reactive energy at the output. After linearizing the system through a pertinent coordinate transformation and a nonlinear feedback, a linear trajectory tracking control law is implemented. The performance of the system controlled by applying the proposed strategy is tested via simulation for a very weak grid of unity X/R ratio, yielding satisfactory results. © 2025, CC BY-SA.

This paper presents a novel approach for head tracking in augmented reality (AR) flight simulators using an adaptive fusion of Kalman and particle filters. This fusion dynamically balances the strengths of both algorithms, leveraging Kalman filters for computational efficiency and particle filters for handling non-linearities based on real-time factors such as sensor noise and head movement patterns. Our method demonstrates superior tracking precision and reduced latency, making it particularly effective for immersive pilot training in AR-based flight simulations. While focused on flight simulation, our approach holds high potential for broader applications in other AR and virtual reality (VR) environments where precise, real-time head tracking is crucial. These results provide actionable design guidance for developers optimizing tracking systems in environments that require fast response times and high accuracy. Future extensions of this research could explore the generalization of our approach across diverse AR applications, including human-computer interaction (HCI), medical simulations, and gaming. © 1968-2012 IEEE.

The paper examines possible directions for improving power quality assurance tools by achieving their multifunctionality, controllability, and efficiency, with the aim of enhancing their performance while considering the circuit and operational specifics of integrated ship electrical power systems with semiconductor propulsion complexes. To address the challenges posed by increasing harmonic distortions and reactive power in such systems, one- and two-stage versions of system-controlled filter-compensating devices are proposed and thoroughly investigated. These devices are specifically designed to enable full reactive power compensation while significantly reducing voltage and current harmonic distortions, thus ensuring improved power quality and system reliability in ship electrical power systems with semiconductor propulsion complexes. The proposed modeling approach provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing and comparing the impact of controlled filter-compensating devices on the integral harmonic distortion coefficient of voltage across systems with various types of input rectifiers incorporated within the frequency converters of semiconductor propulsion complexes. Additionally, the study takes into account possible deviations in the ship network frequency, which can influence system performance under real operating conditions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tools in mitigating power quality issues, thereby contributing to the overall stability and efficiency of modern ship electrical power systems. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Modeling trajectories in cigarette smoking prevalence, initiation and quitting for populations and subgroups of populations is important for policy planning and evaluation. This paper proposes an agent-based model (ABM) design for simulating the smoking behaviors of a population using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behavior (COM-B) model. Capability, Opportunity and Motivation are modeled as latent composite attributes which are composed of observable factors associated with smoking behaviors. Three forms of the COM-B model are proposed to explain the transitions between smoking behaviors: initiating regular smoking uptake, making a quit attempt and quitting successfully. The ABM design follows object-oriented principles and extends an existing generic software architecture for mechanism-based modeling. The potential of the model to assess the impact of smoking policies is illustrated and discussed.

In this paper, we consider nonconvex optimization problems with nonsmooth nonconvex objective function and nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both the objective function and the functional constraints can be separated into 2 blocks. To solve this problem, we introduce a new inexact linearized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm. Specifically, at each iteration, we linearize the smooth part of the objective function and the nonlinear part of the functional constraints within the augmented Lagrangian and add a dynamic quadratic regularization. We then compute the new iterate of the block associated with nonlinear constraints inexactly. This strategy yields subproblems that are easily solvable and their (inexact) solutions become the next iterates. Using Lyapunov arguments, we establish convergence guarantees for the iterates of our method toward an ϵ-first-order solution within O(ϵ−2) iterations. Moreover, we demonstrate that in cases where the problem data exhibit e.g., semi-algebraic properties or more general the KL condition, the entire sequence generated by our algorithm converges, and we provide convergence rates. To validate both the theory and the performance of our algorithm, we conduct numerical simulations for several nonlinear model predictive control and matrix factorization problems. © 2025, CC BY.

In this paper, we consider a modified projected Gauss-Newton method for solving constrained nonlinear least-squares problems. We assume that the functional constraints are smooth and the the other constraints are represented by a simple closed convex set. We formulate the nonlinear least-squares problem as an optimization problem using the Euclidean norm as a merit function. In our method, at each iteration we linearize the functional constraints inside the merit function at the current point and add a quadratic regularization, yielding a strongly convex subproblem that is easy to solve, whose solution is the next iterate. We present global convergence guarantees for the proposed method under mild assumptions. In particular, we prove stationary point convergence guarantees and under Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) property for the objective function we derive convergence rates depending on the KL parameter. Finally, we show the efficiency of this method on the power flow analysis problem using several IEEE bus test cases. © 2025, CC BY.
