文摘To address the high costs and operational instability of distribution networks caused by the large-scale integration of distributed energy resources(DERs)(such as photovoltaic(PV)systems,wind turbines(WT),and energy storage(ES)devices),and the increased grid load fluctuations and safety risks due to uncoordinated electric vehicles(EVs)charging,this paper proposes a novel dual-scale hierarchical collaborative optimization strategy.This strategy decouples system-level economic dispatch from distributed EV agent control,effectively solving the resource coordination conflicts arising from the high computational complexity,poor scalability of existing centralized optimization,or the reliance on local information decision-making in fully decentralized frameworks.At the lower level,an EV charging and discharging model with a hybrid discrete-continuous action space is established,and optimized using an improved Parameterized Deep Q-Network(PDQN)algorithm,which directly handles mode selection and power regulation while embedding physical constraints to ensure safety.At the upper level,microgrid(MG)operators adopt a dynamic pricing strategy optimized through Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)to maximize economic benefits and achieve peak-valley shaving.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy outperforms traditional methods,reducing the total operating cost of the MG by 21.6%,decreasing the peak-to-valley load difference by 33.7%,reducing the number of voltage limit violations by 88.9%,and lowering the average electricity cost for EV users by 15.2%.This method brings a win-win result for operators and users,providing a reliable and efficient scheduling solution for distribution networks with high renewable energy penetration rates.

文摘As joint operations have become a key trend in modern military development,unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)play an increasingly important role in enhancing the intelligence and responsiveness of combat systems.However,the heterogeneity of aircraft,partial observability,and dynamic uncertainty in operational airspace pose significant challenges to autonomous collision avoidance using traditional methods.To address these issues,this paper proposes an adaptive collision avoidance approach for UAVs based on deep reinforcement learning.First,a unified uncertainty model incorporating dynamic wind fields is constructed to capture the complexity of joint operational environments.Then,to effectively handle the heterogeneity between manned and unmanned aircraft and the limitations of dynamic observations,a sector-based partial observation mechanism is designed.A Dynamic Threat Prioritization Assessment algorithm is also proposed to evaluate potential collision threats from multiple dimensions,including time to closest approach,minimum separation distance,and aircraft type.Furthermore,a Hierarchical Prioritized Experience Replay(HPER)mechanism is introduced,which classifies experience samples into high,medium,and low priority levels to preferentially sample critical experiences,thereby improving learning efficiency and accelerating policy convergence.Simulation results show that the proposed HPER-D3QN algorithm outperforms existing methods in terms of learning speed,environmental adaptability,and robustness,significantly enhancing collision avoidance performance and convergence rate.Finally,transfer experiments on a high-fidelity battlefield airspace simulation platform validate the proposed method's deployment potential and practical applicability in complex,real-world joint operational scenarios.
文摘With the advent of sixth-generation mobile communications(6G),space-air-ground integrated networks have become mainstream.This paper focuses on collaborative scheduling for mobile edge computing(MEC)under a three-tier heterogeneous architecture composed of mobile devices,unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),and macro base stations(BSs).This scenario typically faces fast channel fading,dynamic computational loads,and energy constraints,whereas classical queuing-theoretic or convex-optimization approaches struggle to yield robust solutions in highly dynamic settings.To address this issue,we formulate a multi-agent Markov decision process(MDP)for an air-ground-fused MEC system,unify link selection,bandwidth/power allocation,and task offloading into a continuous action space and propose a joint scheduling strategy that is based on an improved MATD3 algorithm.The improvements include Alternating Layer Normalization(ALN)in the actor to suppress gradient variance,Residual Orthogonalization(RO)in the critic to reduce the correlation between the twin Q-value estimates,and a dynamic-temperature reward to enable adaptive trade-offs during training.On a multi-user,dual-link simulation platform,we conduct ablation and baseline comparisons.The results reveal that the proposed method has better convergence and stability.Compared with MADDPG,TD3,and DSAC,our algorithm achieves more robust performance across key metrics.
文摘As the types of traffic requests increase,the elastic optical network(EON)is considered as a promising architecture to carry multiple types of traffic requests simultaneously,including immediate reservation(IR)and advance reservation(AR).Various resource allocation schemes for IR/AR requests have been designed in EON to reduce bandwidth blocking probability(BBP).However,these schemes do not consider different transmission requirements of IR requests and cannot maintain a low BBP for high-priority requests.In this paper,multi-priority is considered in the hybrid IR/AR request scenario.We modify the asynchronous advantage actor critic(A3C)model and propose an A3C-assisted priority resource allocation(APRA)algorithm.The APRA integrates priority and transmission quality of IR requests to design the A3C reward function,then dynamically allocates dedicated resources for different IR requests according to the time-varying requirements.By maximizing the reward,the transmission quality of IR requests can be matched with the priority,and lower BBP for high-priority IR requests can be ensured.Simulation results show that the APRA reduces the BBP of high-priority IR requests from 0.0341 to0.0138,and the overall network operation gain is improved by 883 compared to the scheme without considering the priority.

文摘Underwater images frequently suffer from chromatic distortion,blurred details,and low contrast,posing significant challenges for enhancement.This paper introduces AquaTree,a novel underwater image enhancement(UIE)method that reformulates the task as a Markov Decision Process(MDP)through the integration of Monte Carlo Tree Search(MCTS)and deep reinforcement learning(DRL).The framework employs an action space of 25 enhancement operators,strategically grouped for basic attribute adjustment,color component balance,correction,and deblurring.Exploration within MCTS is guided by a dual-branch convolutional network,enabling intelligent sequential operator selection.Our core contributions include:(1)a multimodal state representation combining CIELab color histograms with deep perceptual features,(2)a dual-objective reward mechanism optimizing chromatic fidelity and perceptual consistency,and(3)an alternating training strategy co-optimizing enhancement sequences and network parameters.We further propose two inference schemes:an MCTS-based approach prioritizing accuracy at higher computational cost,and an efficient network policy enabling real-time processing with minimal quality loss.Comprehensive evaluations on the UIEB Dataset and Color correction and haze removal comparisons on the U45 Dataset demonstrate AquaTree’s superiority,significantly outperforming nine state-of-the-art methods across five established underwater image quality metrics.

文摘The rapid advancement of Industry 4.0 has revolutionized manufacturing,shifting production from centralized control to decentralized,intelligent systems.Smart factories are now expected to achieve high adaptability and resource efficiency,particularly in mass customization scenarios where production schedules must accommodate dynamic and personalized demands.To address the challenges of dynamic task allocation,uncertainty,and realtime decision-making,this paper proposes Pathfinder,a deep reinforcement learning-based scheduling framework.Pathfinder models scheduling data through three key matrices:execution time(the time required for a job to complete),completion time(the actual time at which a job is finished),and efficiency(the performance of executing a single job).By leveraging neural networks,Pathfinder extracts essential features from these matrices,enabling intelligent decision-making in dynamic production environments.Unlike traditional approaches with fixed scheduling rules,Pathfinder dynamically selects from ten diverse scheduling rules,optimizing decisions based on real-time environmental conditions.To further enhance scheduling efficiency,a specialized reward function is designed to support dynamic task allocation and real-time adjustments.This function helps Pathfinder continuously refine its scheduling strategy,improving machine utilization and minimizing job completion times.Through reinforcement learning,Pathfinder adapts to evolving production demands,ensuring robust performance in real-world applications.Experimental results demonstrate that Pathfinder outperforms traditional scheduling approaches,offering improved coordination and efficiency in smart factories.By integrating deep reinforcement learning,adaptable scheduling strategies,and an innovative reward function,Pathfinder provides an effective solution to the growing challenges of multi-robot job scheduling in mass customization environments.

文摘Exo-atmospheric vehicles are constrained by limited maneuverability,which leads to the contradiction between evasive maneuver and precision strike.To address the problem of Integrated Evasion and Impact(IEI)decision under multi-constraint conditions,a hierarchical intelligent decision-making method based on Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)was proposed.First,an intelligent decision-making framework of“DRL evasion decision”+“impact prediction guidance decision”was established:it takes the impact point deviation correction ability as the constraint and the maximum miss distance as the objective,and effectively solves the problem of poor decisionmaking effect caused by the large IEI decision space.Second,to solve the sparse reward problem faced by evasion decision-making,a hierarchical decision-making method consisting of maneuver timing decision and maneuver duration decision was proposed,and the corresponding Markov Decision Process(MDP)was designed.A detailed simulation experiment was designed to analyze the advantages and computational complexity of the proposed method.Simulation results show that the proposed model has good performance and low computational resource requirement.The minimum miss distance is 21.3 m under the condition of guaranteeing the impact point accuracy,and the single decision-making time is 4.086 ms on an STM32F407 single-chip microcomputer,which has engineering application value.

文摘In the parallel steering coordination control strategy for path tracking,it is difficult to match the current driver steering model using the fixed parameters with the actual driver,and the designed steering coordination control strategy under a single objective and simple conditions is difficult to adapt to the multi-dimensional state variables’input.In this paper,we propose a deep reinforcement learning algorithm-based multi-objective parallel human-machine steering coordination strategy for path tracking considering driver misoperation and external disturbance.Firstly,the driver steering mathematical model is constructed based on the driver preview characteristics and steering delay response,and the driver characteristic parameters are fitted after collecting the actual driver driving data.Secondly,considering that the vehicle is susceptible to the influence of external disturbances during the driving process,the Tube MPC(Tube Model Predictive Control)based path tracking steering controller is designed based on the vehicle system dynamics error model.After verifying that the driver steering model meets the driver steering operation characteristics,DQN(Deep Q-network),DDPG(Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient)and TD3(Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient)deep reinforcement learning algorithms are utilized to design a multi-objective parallel steering coordination strategy which satisfies the multi-dimensional state variables’input of the vehicle.Finally,the tracking accuracy,lateral safety,human-machine conflict and driver steering load evaluation index are designed in different driver operation states and different road environments,and the performance of the parallel steering coordination control strategies with different deep reinforcement learning algorithms and fuzzy algorithms are compared by simulations and hardware in the loop experiments.The results show that the parallel steering collaborative strategy based on a deep reinforcement learning algorithm can more effectively assist the driver in tracking the target path under lateral wind interference and driver misoperation,and the TD3-based coordination control strategy has better overall performance.
文摘Adversarial Reinforcement Learning(ARL)models for intelligent devices and Network Intrusion Detection Systems(NIDS)improve systemresilience against sophisticated cyber-attacks.As a core component of ARL,Adversarial Training(AT)enables NIDS agents to discover and prevent newattack paths by exposing them to competing examples,thereby increasing detection accuracy,reducing False Positives(FPs),and enhancing network security.To develop robust decision-making capabilities for real-world network disruptions and hostile activity,NIDS agents are trained in adversarial scenarios to monitor the current state and notify management of any abnormal or malicious activity.The accuracy and timeliness of the IDS were crucial to the network’s availability and reliability at this time.This paper analyzes ARL applications in NIDS,revealing State-of-The-Art(SoTA)methodology,issues,and future research prospects.This includes Reinforcement Machine Learning(RML)-based NIDS,which enables an agent to interact with the environment to achieve a goal,andDeep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)-based NIDS,which can solve complex decision-making problems.Additionally,this survey study addresses cybersecurity adversarial circumstances and their importance for ARL and NIDS.Architectural design,RL algorithms,feature representation,and training methodologies are examined in the ARL-NIDS study.This comprehensive study evaluates ARL for intelligent NIDS research,benefiting cybersecurity researchers,practitioners,and policymakers.The report promotes cybersecurity defense research and innovation.
文摘Test case prioritization and ranking play a crucial role in software testing by improving fault detection efficiency and ensuring software reliability.While prioritization selects the most relevant test cases for optimal coverage,ranking further refines their execution order to detect critical faults earlier.This study investigates machine learning techniques to enhance both prioritization and ranking,contributing to more effective and efficient testing processes.We first employ advanced feature engineering alongside ensemble models,including Gradient Boosted,Support Vector Machines,Random Forests,and Naive Bayes classifiers to optimize test case prioritization,achieving an accuracy score of 0.98847 and significantly improving the Average Percentage of Fault Detection(APFD).Subsequently,we introduce a deep Q-learning framework combined with a Genetic Algorithm(GA)to refine test case ranking within priority levels.This approach achieves a rank accuracy of 0.9172,demonstrating robust performance despite the increasing computational demands of specialized variation operators.Our findings highlight the effectiveness of stacked ensemble learning and reinforcement learning in optimizing test case prioritization and ranking.This integrated approach improves testing efficiency,reduces late-stage defects,and improves overall software stability.The study provides valuable information for AI-driven testing frameworks,paving the way for more intelligent and adaptive software quality assurance methodologies.

文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)have become integral components in smart city infrastructures,supporting applications such as emergency response,surveillance,and data collection.However,the high mobility and dynamic topology of Flying Ad Hoc Networks(FANETs)present significant challenges for maintaining reliable,low-latency communication.Conventional geographic routing protocols often struggle in situations where link quality varies and mobility patterns are unpredictable.To overcome these limitations,this paper proposes an improved routing protocol based on reinforcement learning.This new approach integrates Q-learning with mechanisms that are both link-aware and mobility-aware.The proposed method optimizes the selection of relay nodes by using an adaptive reward function that takes into account energy consumption,delay,and link quality.Additionally,a Kalman filter is integrated to predict UAV mobility,improving the stability of communication links under dynamic network conditions.Simulation experiments were conducted using realistic scenarios,varying the number of UAVs to assess scalability.An analysis was conducted on key performance metrics,including the packet delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and total energy consumption.The results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves the packet delivery ratio by 12%–15%and reduces delay by up to 25.5%when compared to conventional GEO and QGEO protocols.However,this improvement comes at the cost of higher energy consumption due to additional computations and control overhead.Despite this trade-off,the proposed solution ensures reliable and efficient communication,making it well-suited for large-scale UAV networks operating in complex urban environments.
文摘As urbanization continues to accelerate,the challenges associated with managing transportation in metropolitan areas become increasingly complex.The surge in population density contributes to traffic congestion,impacting travel experiences and posing safety risks.Smart urban transportation management emerges as a strategic solution,conceptualized here as a multidimensional big data problem.The success of this strategy hinges on the effective collection of information from diverse,extensive,and heterogeneous data sources,necessitating the implementation of full⁃stack Information and Communication Technology(ICT)solutions.The main idea of the work is to investigate the current technologies of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS)and enhance the safety of urban transportation systems.Machine learning models,trained on historical data,can predict traffic congestion,allowing for the implementation of preventive measures.Deep learning architectures,with their ability to handle complex data representations,further refine traffic predictions,contributing to more accurate and dynamic transportation management.The background of this research underscores the challenges posed by traffic congestion in metropolitan areas and emphasizes the need for advanced technological solutions.By integrating GPS and GIS technologies with machine learning algorithms,this work aims to pay attention to the development of intelligent transportation systems that not only address current challenges but also pave the way for future advancements in urban transportation management.
文摘With the proliferation of Internet of Things(IoT)devices,securing these interconnected systems against cyberattacks has become a critical challenge.Traditional security paradigms often fail to cope with the scale and diversity of IoT network traffic.This paper presents a comparative benchmark of classic machine learning(ML)and state-of-the-art deep learning(DL)algorithms for IoT intrusion detection.Our methodology employs a twophased approach:a preliminary pilot study using a custom-generated dataset to establish baselines,followed by a comprehensive evaluation on the large-scale CICIoTDataset2023.We benchmarked algorithms including Random Forest,XGBoost,CNN,and StackedLSTM.The results indicate that while top-performingmodels frombothcategories achieve over 99%classification accuracy,this metric masks a crucial performance trade-off.We demonstrate that treebased ML ensembles exhibit superior precision(91%)in identifying benign traffic,making them effective at reducing false positives.Conversely,DL models demonstrate superior recall(96%),making them better suited for minimizing the interruption of legitimate traffic.We conclude that the selection of an optimal model is not merely a matter of maximizing accuracy but is a strategic choice dependent on the specific security priority either minimizing false alarms or ensuring service availability.Thiswork provides a practical framework for deploying context-aware security solutions in diverse IoT environments.

文摘This study aimed to integrate Monte Carlo(MC)simulation with deep learning(DL)-based denoising techniques to achieve fast and accurate prediction of high-quality electronic portal imaging device(EPID)transmission dose(TD)for patientspecific quality assurance(PSQA).A total of 100 lung cases were used to obtain the noisy EPID TD by the ARCHER MC code under four kinds of particle numbers(1×10^(6),1×10^(7),1×10^(8)and 1×10^(9)),and the original EPID TD was denoised by the SUNet neural network.The denoised EPID TD was assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively using the structural similarity(SSIM),peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR),and gamma passing rate(GPR)with respect to 1×10^(9)as a reference.The computation times for both the MC simulation and DL-based denoising were recorded.As the number of particles increased,both the quality of the noisy EPID TD and computation time increased significantly(1×10^(6):1.12 s,1×10^(7):1.72 s,1×10^(8):8.62 s,and 1×10^(9):73.89 s).In contrast,the DL-based denoising time remained at 0.13-0.16 s.The denoised EPID TD shows a smoother visual appearance and profile curves,but differences between 1×10^(6)and 1×10^(9)still remain.SSIM improves from 0.61 to 0.95 for 1×10^(6),0.70 to 0.96 for 1×10^(7),and 0.90 to 0.97 for 1×10^(8).PSNR increases by>20%for 1×10^(6)and 1×10^(7),and>10%for 1×10^(8).GPR improves from 48.47%to 89.10%for 1×10^(6),61.04%to 94.35%for 1×10^(7),and 91.88%to 99.55%for 1×10^(8).The method that combines MC simulation with DL-based denoising for EPID TD generation can accelerate TD prediction and maintain high accuracy,offering a promising solution for efficient PSQA.

文摘The solar cycle(SC),a phenomenon caused by the quasi-periodic regular activities in the Sun,occurs approximately every 11 years.Intense solar activity can disrupt the Earth’s ionosphere,affecting communication and navigation systems.Consequently,accurately predicting the intensity of the SC holds great significance,but predicting the SC involves a long-term time series,and many existing time series forecasting methods have fallen short in terms of accuracy and efficiency.The Time-series Dense Encoder model is a deep learning solution tailored for long time series prediction.Based on a multi-layer perceptron structure,it outperforms the best previously existing models in accuracy,while being efficiently trainable on general datasets.We propose a method based on this model for SC forecasting.Using a trained model,we predict the test set from SC 19 to SC 25 with an average mean absolute percentage error of 32.02,root mean square error of 30.3,mean absolute error of 23.32,and R^(2)(coefficient of determination)of 0.76,outperforming other deep learning models in terms of accuracy and training efficiency on sunspot number datasets.Subsequently,we use it to predict the peaks of SC 25 and SC 26.For SC 25,the peak time has ended,but a stronger peak is predicted for SC 26,of 199.3,within a range of 170.8-221.9,projected to occur during April 2034.
