Because different layers have different redundancy and sensitivity to databit width. Reducing the data bit width will result in a loss of accuracy. Therefore, it is difficult to determinethe optimal bit width for different parts of the network with guaranteed accuracy. Mixed precision quantizationcan effectively reduce the amount of computation while keeping the model accuracy basically unchanged. In thispaper, a hardware-aware mixed precision quantization strategy optimal assignment algorithm adapted to low bitwidth is proposed, and reinforcement learning is used to automatically predict the mixed precision that meets theconstraints of hardware resources. In the state-space design, the standard deviation of weights is used to measurethe distribution difference of data, the execution speed feedback of simulated neural network accelerator inferenceis used as the environment to limit the action space of the agent, and the accuracy of the quantization model afterretraining is used as the reward function to guide the agent to carry out deep reinforcement learning training. Theexperimental results show that the proposed method obtains a suitable model layer-by-layer quantization strategyunder the condition that the computational resources are satisfied, and themodel accuracy is effectively improved.The proposed method has strong intelligence and certain universality and has strong application potential in thefield of mixed precision quantization and embedded neural network model deployment.展开更多

In this paper,...Pointer analysis is a technique to identify at compile-time the potential values of the pointer expressions in a program, which promises significant benefits for optimizing and parallelizing compilers. In this paper, a new approach to pointer analysis for assignments is presented. In this approach, assignments are classified into three categories: pointer assignments, structure (union) assignments and normal assignments which don't affect the point-to information. Pointer analyses for these three kinds of assignments respectively make up the integrated algorithm. When analyzing a pointer assignment, a new method called expression expansion is used to calculate both the left targets and the right targets. The integration of recursive data structure analysis into pointer analysis is a significant originality of this paper, which uniforms the pointer analysis for heap variables and the pointer analysis for stack variables. This algorithm is implemented in Agassiz, an analyzing tool for C programs developed by institute of Parallel Processing, Fudan University. Its accuracy and effectiveness are illustrated by experimental data.展开更多

文摘Pointer analysis is a technique to identify at compile-time the potential values of the pointer expressions in a program, which promises significant benefits for optimizing and parallelizing compilers. In this paper, a new approach to pointer analysis for assignments is presented. In this approach, assignments are classified into three categories: pointer assignments, structure (union) assignments and normal assignments which don't affect the point-to information. Pointer analyses for these three kinds of assignments respectively make up the integrated algorithm. When analyzing a pointer assignment, a new method called expression expansion is used to calculate both the left targets and the right targets. The integration of recursive data structure analysis into pointer analysis is a significant originality of this paper, which uniforms the pointer analysis for heap variables and the pointer analysis for stack variables. This algorithm is implemented in Agassiz, an analyzing tool for C programs developed by institute of Parallel Processing, Fudan University. Its accuracy and effectiveness are illustrated by experimental data.

文摘The scale of ground-to-air confrontation task assignments is large and needs to deal with many concurrent task assignments and random events.Aiming at the problems where existing task assignment methods are applied to ground-to-air confrontation,there is low efficiency in dealing with complex tasks,and there are interactive conflicts in multiagent systems.This study proposes a multiagent architecture based on a one-general agent with multiple narrow agents(OGMN)to reduce task assignment conflicts.Considering the slow speed of traditional dynamic task assignment algorithms,this paper proposes the proximal policy optimization for task assignment of general and narrow agents(PPOTAGNA)algorithm.The algorithm based on the idea of the optimal assignment strategy algorithm and combined with the training framework of deep reinforcement learning(DRL)adds a multihead attention mechanism and a stage reward mechanism to the bilateral band clipping PPO algorithm to solve the problem of low training efficiency.Finally,simulation experiments are carried out in the digital battlefield.The multiagent architecture based on OGMN combined with the PPO-TAGNA algorithm can obtain higher rewards faster and has a higher win ratio.By analyzing agent behavior,the efficiency,superiority and rationality of resource utilization of this method are verified.

文摘This paper proposes new methods and strategies for Multi-UAVs cooperative attacks with safety and time constraints in a complex environment.Delaunay triangle is designed to construct a map of the complex flight environment for aerial vehicles.Delaunay-Map,Safe Flight Corridor(SFC),and Relative Safe Flight Corridor(RSFC)are applied to ensure each UAV flight trajectory's safety.By using such techniques,it is possible to avoid the collision with obstacles and collision between UAVs.Bezier-curve is further developed to ensure that multi-UAVs can simultaneously reach the target at the specified time,and the trajectory is within the flight corridor.The trajectory tracking controller is also designed based on model predictive control to track the planned trajectory accurately.The simulation and experiment results are presented to verifying developed strategies of Multi-UAV cooperative attacks.
文摘Background Many people who are gender variant have undiagnosed gender dysphoria,resulting in delayed receipt of gender-affirming support and prolonged distress in living with their gender-non-conforming sex.The Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale-Gender Spectrum(UGDS-GS)is a newly developed tool that measures dissatisfaction with gender identity and expression.However,there is no translated version of this tool in Thai.Moreover,the sensitivity,specificity and cut-off point of the UGDS-GS to detect gender dysphoria in people who are transgender remain unknown.Aims This study translated the UGDS-GS into Thai and then examined the validity and reliability of the Thai UGDS-GS.Methods 185 participants with and without gender dysphoria were selected from the Gender Variation Clinic in Ramathibodi Hospital and from social media platforms.The UGDS-GS was translated into Thai according to the World Health Organization(WHO)guidelines on translation.The medical records of patients with gender dysphoria and semi-structured interviews were used to confirm the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.Subsequently,the validity and reliability of the instrument were analysed.Results The mean age of participants was 30.43(7.98)years among the 51 assigned males(27.6%)and 134 assigned females(72.4%)at birth.The Thai UGDS-GS average score was 77.82(9.71)for those with gender dysphoria(n=95)and 46.03(10.71)for those without gender dysphoria(n=90).Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.962,showing excellent internal consistency.In addition,exploratory factor analysis showed compatibility with the original version’s metrics.The value of the area under the curve was 0.976(95%confidence interval:0.954 to 0.998),indicating outstanding concordance.At the cut-off point of‘60’,sensitivity and specificity were good(96.84%and 91.11%,respectively).Conclusions The Thai UGDS-GS is an excellent,psychometrically reliable and valid tool for screening gender dysphoria in clinical and community settings in Thailand.The cut-off point of‘60’scores suggests a positive indicator or a high chance of gender dysphoria.
文摘INTRODUCTION Gender dysphoria(GD),or gender identity disorder,is defined as persistent distress stemming from the incongruence between one's assigned sex at birth and gender identity.'GD has traditionally been introduced as a rare condition predominant in assigned males at birth(AMABs).2 However,recent studies have shown an upward trend in assigned females at birth(AFABs)with a dramatic reversal of the AMAB:AFAB ratio-.5-The actual AMAB:AFAB ratio varies by age group and study population.4-Questions have been raised concerning the increasing number of youth who seek professional care for GD,especially adolescent AFABs.

文摘The netted radar system(NRS)has been proved to possess unique advantages in anti-jamming and improving target tracking performance.Effective resource management can greatly ensure the combat capability of the NRS.In this paper,based on the netted collocated multiple input multiple output(CMIMO)radar,an effective joint target assignment and power allocation(JTAPA)strategy for tracking multi-targets under self-defense blanket jamming is proposed.An architecture based on the distributed fusion is used in the radar network to estimate target state parameters.By deriving the predicted conditional Cramer-Rao lower bound(PC-CRLB)based on the obtained state estimation information,the objective function is formulated.To maximize the worst case tracking accuracy,the proposed JTAPA strategy implements an online target assignment and power allocation of all active nodes,subject to some resource constraints.Since the formulated JTAPA is non-convex,we propose an efficient two-step solution strategy.In terms of the simulation results,the proposed algorithm can effectively improve tracking performance in the worst case.

文摘Dear Editor,The genus Liuixalus Li,Che,Bain,Zhao,and Zhang,2008 is a group of small-bodied Asian rhacophorid tree frogs and currently includes six species distributed in southern China and northern Vietnam(AmphibiaChina,2022;Pham et al.,2018;Qin et al.,2015).The type species of Liuixalus,L.romeri(Smith,1953),was originally assigned to the genus Chiromantis by Smith(1953)based on morphology.However,using molecular phylogenetic analysis,Li et al.(2008)found that C.romeri formed its own clade with an unidentified tree frog species,which was a sister group of the remaining taxa of the subfamily Rhacophorinae.

文摘Aiming at the problems of traditional dynamic weapon-target assignment algorithms in command decisionmaking,such as large computational amount,slow solution speed,and low calculation accuracy,combined with deep reinforcement learning theory,an improved Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm with dual noise and prioritized experience replay is proposed,which uses a double noise mechanism to expand the search range of the action,and introduces a priority experience playback mechanism to effectively achieve data utilization.Finally,the algorithm is simulated and validated on the ground-to-air countermeasures digital battlefield.The results of the experiment show that,under the framework of the deep neural network for intelligent weapon-target assignment proposed in this paper,compared to the traditional RELU algorithm,the agent trained with reinforcement learning algorithms,such asDeepDeterministic Policy Gradient algorithm,Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic algorithm,Deep Q Network algorithm performs better.It shows that the use of deep reinforcement learning algorithms to solve the weapon-target assignment problem in the field of air defense operations is scientific.In contrast to other reinforcement learning algorithms,the agent trained by the improved Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm has a higher win rate and reward in confrontation,and the use of weapon resources is more efficient.It shows that the model and algorithm have certain superiority and rationality.The results of this paper provide new ideas for solving the problemof weapon-target assignment in air defense combat command decisions.
