Multi-machine collaboration realization conditions and precise and efficient production mode of intelligent agricultural machinery

Multi-machine collaboration of agricultural machinery is one of the international frontier and hot research in the field of agricultural equipment.However,the current domestic multi-machine collaborative operation of agricultural machinery is limited to the research of task goal planning and collaborative path optimization in a single production link.In order to achieve the purpose of zero inventory of agricultural materials and precise and efficient production operations,a new technology of agricultural machinery multi-machine collaboration with multi-dimension and full chain was proposed,which takes into account the whole process of agricultural production,as well as agricultural machinery system and external supply chain,storage and transportation chain collaboration.The problems of data collaboration,process collaboration and organization collaboration were analyzed.And the realization conditions of new multi-machine cooperative technology were analyzed.Meanwhile,the zero inventory mode and precise operation mode of agricultural materials under the background of multi-machine cooperation of intelligent agricultural machinery were studied.Then,a precise and efficient agricultural production mode based on data-process-organization collaboration was constructed.The results showed that the multi-machine cooperative technology mode of multi-dimensional and full-chain agricultural machinery could greatly improve the efficiency of agricultural machinery,operation quality,land utilization rate and reduce production cost.

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Collaborative Routing Algorithm for Clustered MANETs

Flexible adaptation to differentiated quality of service(QoS)is quite important for future 6G network with a variety of services.Mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs)are able to provide flexible communication services to users through self-configuration and rapid deployment.However,the dynamic wireless environment,the limited resources,and complex QoS requirements have presented great challenges for network routing problems.Motivated by the development of artificial intelligence,a deep reinforcement learning-based collaborative routing(DRLCR)algorithm is proposed.Both routing policy and subchannel allocation are considered jointly,aiming at minimizing the end-to-end(E2E)delay and improving the network capacity.After sufficient training by the cluster head node,the Q-network can be synchronized to each member node to select the next hop based on local observation.Moreover,we improve the performance of training by considering historical observations,which can improve the adaptability of routing policies to dynamic environments.Simulation results show that the proposed DRLCR algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of resource utilization and E2E delay by optimizing network load to avoid congestion.In addition,the effectiveness of the routing policy in a dynamic environment is verified.

A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning-Based Collaborative Jamming System: Algorithm Design and Software-Defined Radio Implementation

In multi-agent confrontation scenarios, a jammer is constrained by the single limited performance and inefficiency of practical application. To cope with these issues, this paper aims to investigate the multi-agent jamming problem in a multi-user scenario, where the coordination between the jammers is considered. Firstly, a multi-agent Markov decision process (MDP) framework is used to model and analyze the multi-agent jamming problem. Secondly, a collaborative multi-agent jamming algorithm (CMJA) based on reinforcement learning is proposed. Finally, an actual intelligent jamming system is designed and built based on software-defined radio (SDR) platform for simulation and platform verification. The simulation and platform verification results show that the proposed CMJA algorithm outperforms the independent Q-learning method and provides a better jamming effect.

Improved Hybrid Deep Collaborative Filtering Approach for True Recommendations

Recommendation services become an essential and hot research topic for researchers nowadays.Social data such asReviews play an important role in the recommendation of the products.Improvement was achieved by deep learning approaches for capturing user and product information from a short text.However,such previously used approaches do not fairly and efficiently incorporate users’preferences and product characteristics.The proposed novel Hybrid Deep Collaborative Filtering(HDCF)model combines deep learning capabilities and deep interaction modeling with high performance for True Recommendations.To overcome the cold start problem,the new overall rating is generated by aggregating the Deep Multivariate Rating DMR(Votes,Likes,Stars,and Sentiment scores of reviews)from different external data sources because different sites have different rating scores about the same product that make confusion for the user to make a decision,either product is truly popular or not.The proposed novel HDCF model consists of four major modules such as User Product Attention,Deep Collaborative Filtering,Neural Sentiment Classifier,and Deep Multivariate Rating(UPA-DCF+NSC+DMR)to solve the addressed problems.Experimental results demonstrate that our novel model is outperforming state-of-the-art IMDb,Yelp2013,and Yelp2014 datasets for the true top-n recommendation of products using HDCF to increase the accuracy,confidence,and trust of recommendation services.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) experienced significant advancements in recent years, and its potential power is already recognized across various industries. Yet, the rise of AI has led to a growing concern about its impact on meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim of this paper was to evaluate contributions and the potential influence of AI to sustainable development in the society domain. Furthermore, the study analyzed GPT-3 responses, as one of the largest language models developed by OpenAI, descriptively. We conducted a set of queries on the SDGs to gather information on GPT-3’s perceptions of AI impact on sustainable development. Analysis of GPT-3’s contribution potential towards the SDGs showcased its broad range of capabilities for contributing to the SDGs in areas such as education, health, and communication. The study findings provide valuable insights into the contributions of AI to sustainable development in the society domain and highlight the importance of proper regulations to promote the responsible use of AI for sustainable development. We highlighted the potential for improvement in neural language processing skills of GPT-3 by avoiding imitating weak human writing styles with more mistakes in longer texts.

Research on reconfigurable collaborative remote diagnosis system

The function-layer model and working model of collaborative remote fault diagnosis system （FDS）, which includes three layers： task layer, collaboration layer and diagnosing layer, are proposed. The running mechanism of the system is discussed. A collaborative FDS may consist of several subsystems running at different places and the subsystem consists of several fimction modules. A structure centered on data-bus is adopted in subsystem. All the function modules in subsystem are encapsulated into software intelligent chips （SICs） and SIC can but connect with data-bus. So, it is feasible to reuse these diagnosis fimction modules and the structure of subsystem in different diagnosis applications. With the reconfigurable SICs, several different function modules can reconstruct quickly some different diagnosis subsystems in different combinations, and some subsystems can also reconfigure a specified collaborative FDS.
