Joint Active and Passive Beamforming Design for Hybrid RIS-Aided Integrated Sensing and Communication

Integrated sensing and communication(ISAC) is considered an effective technique to solve spectrum congestion in the future. In this paper, we consider a hybrid reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-assisted downlink ISAC system that simultaneously serves multiple single-antenna communication users and senses multiple targets. Hybrid RIS differs from fully passive RIS in that it is composed of both active and passive elements, with the active elements having the effect of amplifying the signal in addition to phase-shifting. We maximize the achievable sum rate of communication users by collaboratively improving the beamforming matrix at the dual function base station(DFBS) and the phase-shifting matrix of the hybrid RIS, subject to the transmit power constraint at the DFBS, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio(SINR) constraint of the radar echo signal and the RIS constraint are satisfied at the same time. The builtin RIS-assisted ISAC design problem model is significantly non-convex due to the fractional objective function of this optimization problem and the coupling of the optimization variables in the objective function and constraints. As a result, we provide an effective alternating optimization approach based on fractional programming(FP) with block coordinate descent(BCD)to solve the optimization variables. Results from simulations show that the hybrid RIS-assisted ISAC system outperforms the other benchmark solutions.

Relevance of hybrid artificial intelligence for improving the forecasting accuracy of natural resource prices

The prediction performance of traditional forecasting methods is low due to the high level of complexity in a series of energy prices.The present study attempts to compare the traditional regression,machine learning tools and hybrid models to conclude the outperforming model.The first step is to propose the effective denoising technique for Tadawul energy index,which has confirmed the superiority of CSD based denoising.However,we use the CSD-ARIMA,CSD-ANN,and CSD-RNN as hybrid models.As a result,CSD-RNN outperforms both other models in terms of MSE,MAPE,RMSE and Dstat.The findings are useful for policy makers,investors and portfolio managers to forecast the energy trends,and hedge the portfolio risk accordingly.

The following process is included: firstly,the evaluation team is established to determine the selection criteria and evaluate them by triangular fuzzy numbers; secondly,calculate the weight of criteria by the proposed hybrid algorithm integrating particle swarm optimization( PSO) and simulated annealing( SA); then, the performance evaluation for each supplier is predicted by the proposed self-feedback neural network( SFBNN) based on the historical data. A numerical example is also presented to interpret the methodology above.

The Role of Computational Intelligence in Sensory Evaluation

Sensory evaluation is the evaluation of signals that a human receives via its senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. In today’s industrial companies, sensory evaluation is widely used in quality inspection of products, in marketing study and in many other fields such as risk evaluation, investment evaluation and safety evaluation. In practice, setting up a suitable mathematical formulation, an efficient working procedure and a pertinent computing method for sensory evaluation is quite difficult because of uncertainty and imprecision in sensory panels and their results involving linguistic expressions, non normalized data, data reliability, etc. At the present a prime problem of the practitioner is not the lack of useful methods but the lack of transparency in this area. In this tutorial lecture, we briefly describe some of the technology in the computational intelligence (CI) areas that has been developed for application to sensory evaluation and related fields. Moreover, we will illustrate the role of CI in sensory evaluation related applications from some recent publications.

Survey and Tutorial on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence

The growing computing power,easy acquisition of large-scale data,and constantly improved algorithms have led to a new wave of artificial intelligence(AI)applications,which change the ways we live,manufacture,and do business.Along with this development,a rising concern is the relationship between AI and human intelligence,namely,whether AI systems may one day overtake,manipulate,or replace humans.In this paper,we introduce a novel concept named hybrid human-artificial intelligence(H-AI),which fuses human abilities and AI capabilities into a unified entity.It presents a challenging yet promising research direction that prompts secure and trusted AI innovations while keeping humans in the loop for effective control.We scientifically define the concept of H-AI and propose an evolution road map for the development of AI toward H-AI.We then examine the key underpinning techniques of H-AI,such as user profile modeling,cognitive computing,and human-in-the-loop machine learning.Afterward,we discuss H-AI’s potential applications in the area of smart homes,intelligent medicine,smart transportation,and smart manufacturing.Finally,we conduct a critical analysis of current challenges and open gaps in H-AI,upon which we elaborate on future research issues and directions.

Applicability of denoising-based artificial intelligence to forecast the environmental externalities

The current study attempts to compare the hybrid artificial intelligence models to forecast the environmental externalities in Saudi Arabia.We have used the denoising based artificial intelligence models to construct hybrid models.While comparing the denoising techniques,the CSD-based denoising has outperformed.However,we have used the CSD-based hybrid models.CSD-ANN and CSD-RNN are used for denoising-based artificial intelligence models,whereas CSD-ARIMA is used for denoising-based traditional models.All these models are used to check and compare their performance in terms of level and direction of prediction for PM_(10).The results show that the CSD-based ANN model has a higher predictability for PM_(10) levels in Saudi Arabia due to low error values and higher Dstat values.In comparing original and forecasted data,the superiority of CSD-ANN is evident in predicting the PM_(10) in Saudi Arabia.Hence,this hybrid model can predict the environmental externalities for non-linear and highly noised data.Moreover,the findings can be useful in achieving the sustainable development goal.

From Digitalized to Intelligentized Surveying and Mapping: Fundamental Issues and Research Agenda

Nowadays Surveying and Mapping(S&M)production and services are facing some serious challenges such as real-timization of data acquisition,automation of information processing,and intellectualization of service applications.The main reason is that current digitalized S&M technologies,which involve complex algorithms and models as the core,are incapable of completely describing and representing the diverse,multi-dimensional and dynamic real world,as well as addressing high-dimensional and nonlinear spatial problems using simple algorithms and models.In order to address these challenges,it is necessary to explore the use of natural intelligence in S&M,and to develop intelligentized S&M technologies,which are knowledge-guided and algorithm-based.This paper first discusses the basic concepts and ideas of intelligentized S&M,and then analyzes and defines its fundamental issues in the analysis and modeling of natural intelligence in S&M,the construction and realization of hybrid intelligent computing paradigm,and the mechanism and path of empowering production.Further research directions are then proposed in the four areas,including knowledge systems,technologies and methodologies,application systems,and instruments and equipments of intelligentized S&M.Finally,some institutional issues related to promoting scientific research and engineering applications in this area are discussed.

Robot stereo vision calibration method with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization

Accurate stereo vision calibration is a preliminary step towards high-precision visual posi- tioning of robot. Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.

Evaluating performance of cutting machines during sawing dimension stones

The performance of cutting machines in terms of energy consumption and vibration directly affects the production costs. In this work, our aim was to evaluate the performance of cutting machines using hybrid intelligent models. For this purpose, a systematic experimental work was performed. A database of the carbonate and granite rocks was established, in which the physical and mechanical properties of these rocks (i.e., UCS, elastic modulus, Mohs hardness, and Schmiazek abrasivity factor) and the operational parameters (i.e., depth of cut and feed rate) were considered as the input parameters. The predictive models were developed incorporating a combination of the multi-layered perceptron artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm (GANN-BP) and the support vector regression method and Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA-SVR). The results obtained indicated that the performance of the developed GANN-BP and COA-SVR models was close to each other and that these models had good agreements with the measured values. These results also showed that these proposed models were suitable tools in evaluating the performance of cutting machines.

High resolution 3D nonlinear integrated inversion

The high resolution 3D nonlinear integrated inversion method is based on nonlinear theory. Under layer control, the log data from several wells （or all wells） in the study area and seismic trace data adjacent to the wells are input to a network with multiple inputs and outputs and are integratedly trained to obtain an adaptive weight function of the entire study area. Integrated nonlinear mapping relationships are built and updated by the lateral and vertical geologic variations of the reservoirs. Therefore, the inversion process and its inversion results can be constrained and controlled and a stable seismic inversion section with high resolution with velocity inversion, impedance inversion, and density inversion sections, can be gained. Good geologic effects have been obtained in model computation tests and real data processing, which verified that this method has high precision, good practicality, and can be used for quantitative reservoir analysis.

A Knowledge-reuse Based Intelligent Reasoning Model for Worsted Process Optimization

The textile process planning is a knowledge reuse process in nature, which depends on the expert’s knowledge and experience. It seems to be very difficult to build up an integral mathematical model to optimize hundreds of the processing parameters. In fact, the existing process cases which were recorded to ensure the ability to trace production steps can also be used to optimize the process itself. This paper presents a novel knowledge-reuse based hybrid intelligent reasoning model (HIRM) for worsted process optimization. The model architecture and reasoning mechanism are respectively described. An applied case with HIRM is given to demonstrate that the best process decision can be made, and important processing parameters such as for raw material optimized.

System Strength Assessment Based on Multi-task Learning

Increase in permeability of renewable energy sources(RESs)leads to the prominent problem of voltage stability in power system,so it is urgent to have a system strength evaluation method with both accuracy and practicability to control its access scale within a reasonable range.Therefore,a hybrid intelligence enhancement method is proposed by combining the advantages of mechanism method and data driven method.First,calculation of critical short circuit ratio(CSCR)is set as the direction of intelligent enhancement by taking the multiple renewable energy station short circuit ratio as the quantitative indicator.Then,the construction process of CSCR dataset is proposed,and a batch simulation program of samples is developed accordingly,which provides a data basis for subsequent research.Finally,a multi-task learning model based on progressive layered extraction is used to simultaneously predict CSCR of each RESs connection point,which significantly reduces evaluation error caused by weak links.Predictive performance and anti-noise performance of the proposed method are verified on the CEPRI-FS-102 bus system,which provides strong technical support for real-time monitoring of system strength.

HISP： a hybrid intelligent approach for identifying Jirected signaling pathways

Signal transduction plays important roles in biological systems. Unfortunately, our knowledge about signaling pathways is far from complete. Specifically, the direction of signaling flows is less known even though the signaling molecules of some signaling pathways have been determined. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid intelligent method, namely HISP （Hybrid Intelligent approach for identifying directed Signaling Pathways）, to determine both the topologies of signaling pathways and the direction of signaling flows within a pathway based on integer linear programming and genetic algorithm. By integrating the protein-protein interaction, gene expression, and gene knockout data, our HISP approach is able to determine the optimal topologies of signaling pathways in an accurate way. Benchmark results on yeast MAPK signaling pathways demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed approach. When applied to the EGFR/ErbB signaling pathway in human hepatocytes, HISP unveils a high-resolution signaling path- way, where many signaling interactions were missing by existing computational approaches.

DESIGNING A HYBRID INTELLIGENT MINING SYSTEM FOR CREDIT RISK EVALUATION

In this study, a novel hybrid intelligent mining system integrating rough sets theory and support vector machines is developed to extract efficiently association rules from original information table for credit risk evaluation and analysis. In the proposed hybrid intelligent system, support vector machines are used as a tool to extract typical features and filter its noise, which are different from the previous studies where rough sets were only used as a preprocessor for support vector machines. Such an approach could reduce the information table and generate the final knowledge from the reduced information table by rough sets. Therefore, the proposed hybrid intelligent system overcomes the difficulty of extracting rules from a trained support vector machine classifier and possesses the robustness which is lacking for rough-set-based approaches. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid intelligent system is illustrated with two real-world credit datasets.

Hybrid intelligent modeling approach for online predicting and simulating surface temperature of HVs

Online prediction as well as online simulation of surface temperature will play a sig-nificant role in flight safety of future near space hypersonic vehicles(HVs).But it still remains a classical scientific problem both in thermodynamics and aerospace sci-ence.In view of the complex HV structure and complex heat conduction procedure,three-dimensional numerical simulation is too inefficient for online prediction,while cur-rent rapid computation methods cannot meet the requirement of accuracy.Therefore,a hybrid intelligent dynamic modeling approach is proposed to estimate the surface temperature of HV with the combination of mechanism equations,test data and intel-ligent modeling technology.A simplified model based on a mechanism equation and experimental formulas is presented for predicting or simulating transient heat conduc-tion procedure efficiently,while a case-based reasoning(CBR)algorithm is developed to estimate two uncertain coefficients in the simplified model.Furthermore,a support vector regression(SVR)-based model is developed to compensate the modeling error.With the data both from high-precision finite element computation and from real-world HV thermal protection experiments,a number of comparative simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid intelligent modeling approach.

Real-Time Control Strategy of Exoskeleton Locomotion Trajectory Based on Multi-modal Fusion

The exoskeleton robot is a typical man–machine integration system in the human loop.The ideal man–machine state is to achieve motion coordination,stable output,strong personalization,and reduce man–machine confrontation during motion.In order to achieve an ideal man–machine state,a Time-varying Adaptive Gait Trajectory Generator(TAGT)is designed to estimate the motion intention of the wearer and generate a personalized gait trajectory.TAGT can enhance the hybrid intelligent decision-making ability under human–machine collaboration,promote good motion coordination between the exoskeleton and the wearer,and reduce metabolic consumption.An important feature of this controller is that it utilizes a multi-layer control strategy to provide locomotion assistance to the wearer,while allowing the user to control the gait trajectory based on human–robot Interaction(HRI)force and locomotion information.In this article,a Temporal Convolutional Gait Prediction(TCGP)model is designed to learn the personalized gait trajectory of the wearer,and the control performance of the model is further improved by fusing the predefined gait trajectory method with an adaptive interactive force control model.A human-in-the-loop control strategy is formed with the feedback information to stabilize the motion trajectory of the output joints and update the system state in real time based on the feedback from the inertial and interactive force signal.The experimental study employs able-bodied subjects wearing the exoskeleton for motion trajectory control to evaluate the performance of the proposed TAGT model in online adjustments.Data from these evaluations demonstrate that the controller TAGT has good motor coordination and can satisfy the subject to control the motor within a certain range according to the walking habit,guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system.

Fuzzy Optimization of Storage Space Allocation in a Container Terminal

A fuzzy optimization model of storage space allocation is proposed,and a rolling-planning method is derived. The model takes the uncertainty of departure time of import containers and arrival time of export containers into account. For each planning horizon,the problem is decomposed into two levels: the first level minimizes the unbalanced workloads among blocks using hybrid intelligence algorithm;based on block workloads allocated in the above level,the second level minimizes the number of blocks to which the same group of import containers are split. Numerical results show that the model reduces workload imbalance,and speeds up the vessel loading and discharging process.
