Membrane algorithms are a class of distributed and parallel algorithms inspired by the structure and behavior of living cells. Many attractive features of living cells have already been abstracted as operators to improve the performance of algorithms. In this work, inspired by the function of biological neuron cells storing information, we consider a memory mechanism by introducing memory modules into a membrane algorithm. The framework of the algorithm consists of two kinds of modules (computation modules and memory modules), both of which are arranged in a ring neighborhood topology. They can store and process information, and exchange information with each other. We test our method on a knapsack problem to demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness. During the process of approaching the optimum solution, feasible solutions are evolved by rewriting rules in each module, and the information transfers according to directions defined by communication rules. Simulation results showed that the performance of membrane algorithms with memory cells is superior to that of algorithms without memory cells for solving a knapsack problem. Furthermore, the memory mechanism can prevent premature convergence and increase the possibility of finding a global solution.

Factorization Machines [1, 2] is a new factorization model that can combine the merits of SVM model with matrix factorization models. It can model all the interactive actions using factorized parameters. So it could mimic most other matrix factorization models by feature engineering. Due to the superior flexible, Factorization Machines has already been widely used in many recommended algorithm competitions and practical online recommended system. But, because of the prevalence of large dataset, there is a need to improve the scalability of computation in factorization machines model. In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm can be used on Factorization Machines model. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good speed-up and scalability on big dataset.

In this paper, we investigate exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks. By using the delay partitioning method, some sufficient conditions are established to guarantee exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks under two different conditions with constructing new Lyapunov–Krasvoskii functional. This partitioning approach can reduce the conservatism comparing with some previous results of stability. At last, numerical examples are given out to show the effectiveness and advantage of our results.

This paper is concerned with the problems of stability for a class of impulsive positive systems. An impulsive positive system model is introduced for the first time and a necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the positivity of this kind of system is proposed. Several sufficient criteria of global exponential stability and global asymptotical stability for impulsive positive systems are established respectively by using a linear copositive Lyapunov function. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed results.

This paper is concerned with the problem of the full-order observer design for a class of fractional-order Lipschitz nonlinear systems. By introducing a continuous frequency distributed equivalent model and using an indirect Lyapunov approach, the sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the full-order observer error dynamic system is presented. The stability condition is obtained in terms of LMI, which is less conservative than the existing one. A numerical example demonstrates the validity of this approach.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based indoor localization becomes a hotspot in the robotic research field recently. To overcome the shortcoming that plentiful tags are required in a normal RFID based localization system, this paper presents an indoor localization method by fusing measurements from wearable posture sensors and the absolute position information from scattered RFID tags. From the posture sensors, we can obtain the relative indoor localization data by summing up the vectors composed of step length and heading direction. Since this relative localization is highly affected by the cumulative error, the absolute positions of RFID tags are used as corrections if they are found within a read-range to the user. Because the RFID tags are sparsely placed in the indoor environment, the corrections can be achieved only at incomplete time instants. Therefore, a revised Kalman filter with incomplete observation is applied to the sensor fusion between the posture sensors and RFID tags. Experimental results show that the cumulative error of the system can be significantly reduced and the localization accuracy is enhanced through the sensor fusion.

An intelligent walking-aid robot is presented for walking assistance, training and rehabilitation of the elderly. The robot is intended to provide physical support and mobility aid for the old people during their walking based on recognizing their motion intentions online. A force measuring system comprised of force sensing resisters (FSRs) is designed to obtain the interaction forces between the user and the robot. The user's motion intention is then estimated by analyzing the relationship between the measured interaction forces and human intention force/torque. Further the estimated intention is used to guide the admittance based motion control of robot. To ensure a safe walking, a laser range finder (LRF) is used to detect the distance between the robot and the user's legs. A distance restraint control is also designed and taken into action when the distance is found beyond a safe threshold. Experiments were conducted and the results verified the effectiveness of the developed robot system and control methods.

Point matching is an important component of image registration. Recent years, Coherent Point Drift (CPD) method becomes a very popular point matching approach. CPD treats point matching as a probability estimation problem and speeds up the process of matching a lot. In this method, one set of points are thought to be sampled from a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), which is centered by the other set of points. However, CPD is sensitive to outliers and noises, especially when the noise ratio increased or the number of outliers gets much high. To deal with this problem, we introduce shape context into the step of searching for matching points and then improve the form of prior probabilities of GMM in this paper. The main idea of our method is that if the most points in a data set are likely to be matched to a particular centroid, this Gaussian component should be have a more influence to GMM. Therefore, we set prior probability of GMM with the similarity between GMM components and the data set. And the computation of similarity is based on shape context. The experiments on 2D and 3D images show that when noise ratio is low, our method performs as well as CPD does, but as the ratio increased, our method is more robust and satisfactory than CPD.

Memristor is a nonlinear resistor with the character of memory and is proved to be suitable for simulating synapse of neuron. This paper introduces two memristors in series with the same polarity (back-to-back) as simulator for neuron's synapse and presents the model of recurrent neural networks with such back-to-back memristors. By analysis techniques and fixed point theory, some sufficient conditions are obtained for recurrent neural network having single attractor flow and multiple attractors flow. At last, simulation with numeric examples is presented to illustrate our results.
