Differentiation of syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) mainly depends on the information obtained from four diagnosis methods. Now many physicochemical parameters are available in clinic. There exists great correlation between TCM syndromes and physicochemical parameters. The objective of the paper is to analyze the correlation between TCM syndromes and physicochemical parameters quantitatively and find the most informative physicochemical parameter combination which is useful in differentiation of syndromes. A novel definition of correlation degree based on Renyi's entropy is proposed which can measure the correlation between variables efficiently. Feature selection based on the correlation degree is used to find the most informative physicochemical parameters for assisting differentiation of syndromes.

Cooperative driving via vehicle communication attracts increasing interests recently, since the motions of vehicles can be conducted in the safe and smooth manner. In this paper, cooperative driving at lane closures is studied. First, the solution space of all allowable driving schedules is described by a spanning tree in terms of vehicle safe passing order. The corresponding trajectory planning method is then proposed to generate the acceptable lane changing profiles. The proposed algorithm is fast and reliable, but sometimes yields conservative solutions than previous algorithms.

The ability of cognition and recognition for complex environment is very important for a real autonomous robot. A new scene analysis method using kernel principal component analysis (kernel-PCA) for mobile robot based on multi-sonar-ranger data fusion is put forward. The principle of classification by principal component analysis (PCA), kernel-PCA, and the BP neural network (NN) approach to extract the eigenvectors which have the largest k eigenvalues are introduced briefly. Next the details of PCA, kernel-PCA and the BP NN method applied in the corridor scene analysis and classification for the mobile robots based on sonar data are discussed and the experimental results of those methods are given. In addition, a corridor-scene-classifier based on BP NN is discussed. The experimental results using PCA, kernel-PCA and the methods based on BP neural networks (NNs) are compared and the robustness of those methods are also analyzed. Such conclusions are drawn: in corridor scene classification, the kernel-PCA method has advantage over the ordinary PCA, and the approaches based on BP NNs can also get satisfactory results. The robustness of kernel-PCA is better than that of the methods based on BP NNs.

Particle swarm optimization is used for the training of the action network and critic network of the adaptive dynamic programming approach. The typical structures of the adaptive dynamic programming and particle swarm optimization are adopted for comparison to other learning algorithms such as gradient descent method. Besides simulation on the balancing of a cart pole plant, a more complex plant pendulum robot (pendubot) is tested for the learning performance. Compared to traditional adaptive dynamic programming approaches, the proposed evolutionary learning strategy is verified as faster convergence and higher efficiency. Furthermore, the structure becomes simple because the plant model does not need to be identified beforehand

Gaussian models are widely adopted in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). In this paper, we analyze continuous EDAs and show that they don't always work because of computation error: covariance matrix of Gaussian model can be ill-posed and Gaussian based EDAs using full covariance matrix will fail under specific conditions. It is a universal problem that all existing Gaussian based EDAs using full covariance matrix suffer from. Through theoretical analysis with examples of simulated data and experiments, we show that the ill-posed covariance matrix strongly affects those EDAs. This paper proposes a Covariance Matrix Repairing (CMR) method to fix ill-posed covariance matrix. CMR significantly improves the robustness of EDAs. Even some EDA's performance that was previously thought inefficient can be improved surprisingly with the help of CMR. CMR can also guarantee those EDAs to be used with small scale of population (but still should be large enough to find the global optimum) to accelerate the convergence rate while maintaining the quality of solutions.

In this paper we present a method that can reduce the dissipation during fourth-order PDE diffusion processing which is used for noise removal without blocky effect. PDE-based method has been a successful tool for image restoration. But most of PDE methods have a common problem that is the processed image looks like cartoon image. In order to overcome the blocky effect introduced by second order PDE, Yuli You proposed a fourth order PDE method which seeks to minimize a function proportional to the absolute value of the Laplacian operator of the image. But we found that this method can also introduce dissipation during the diffusion process. In order to reduce the dissipation effect, we consider revising the diffusion coefficient. And what we think is to introduce the gradient operator into the diffusion coefficient. This method can reduce the dissipation effect during the denoising process. From the experiment we can see that the dissipation is reduced.

A platform of the Internet-based teleoperation system with an omni-directional mobile robot which has a five DOFs robot arm is constructed. Remote control of the robot through the Internet is implemented. The system is featured as low-cost and user interface friendly: remote users can control the robot through the Internet just by a client program in a general computer. The client computer can receive the live video and environment information measured by sensors. With the help of the remote video and the local simulation, users can easily communicate with the robot. Different modules are proposed and the implementation method of the system is presented. Related experiments are conducted to test the validity of the proposed system.

The research of standardization and normalization of syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the focal and difficult points of TCM, but always fails to make some breakthroughs. In this paper, we try to apply a new analysis method (entropy-based partition method for complex system) to conduct a standardized and normalized study on the TCM syndromes of "deficiency of Yin" syndrome in vascular endothelial dysfunction (ED). Firstly, we carried out a clinical epidemiology survey, chose 400 ED patients, and collected corresponding symptoms information. Then we reached the symptoms combination and the diagnostic threshold of "deficiency of Yin" in ED objectively. Finally, we conducted an examination on this diagnostic criterion through three indexes: sensitivity, specificity and agreement rate. The result shows that the diagnostic criterion of "deficiency of Yin" in ED has a favourable diagnostic effect and the entropy-based partition method for complex system is suitable for study on the diagnostic criterion of syndromes in TCM. It paves a new way for the research of standardization and normalization of syndromes in TCM.
