In this paper, we develop a new method to alleviate these problems based on deep Q-learning with experience replay and heuristic knowledge. In this method, a neural network has been used to resolve the "curse of dimensionality" issue of the Q-table in reinforcement learning. When a robot is walking in an unknown environment, it collects experience data which is used for training a neural network;such a process is called experience replay.Heuristic knowledge helps the robot avoid blind exploration and provides more effective data for training the neural network. The simulation results show that in comparison with the existing methods, our method can converge to an optimal action strategy with less time and can explore a path in an unknown environment with fewer steps and larger average reward.展开更多

This implementation has been proven to converge to the optimal solution, but it is often beneficial to use a function-approximation system, such as deep neural networks, to estimate state values. It has been previously observed that Q-learning can be unstable when using value function approximation or when operating in a stochastic environment. This instability can adversely affect the algorithm’s ability to maximize its returns. In this paper, we present a new algorithm called Multi Q-learning to attempt to overcome the instability seen in Q-learning. We test our algorithm on a 4 × 4 grid-world with different stochastic reward functions using various deep neural networks and convolutional networks. Our results show that in most cases, Multi Q-learning outperforms Q-learning, achieving average returns up to 2.5 times higher than Q-learning and having a standard deviation of state values as low as 0.58.展开更多

However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.展开更多

文摘The controller is a main component in the Software-Defined Networking(SDN)framework,which plays a significant role in enabling programmability and orchestration for 5G and next-generation networks.In SDN,frequent communication occurs between network switches and the controller,which manages and directs traffic flows.If the controller is not strategically placed within the network,this communication can experience increased delays,negatively affecting network performance.Specifically,an improperly placed controller can lead to higher end-to-end(E2E)delay,as switches must traverse more hops or encounter greater propagation delays when communicating with the controller.This paper introduces a novel approach using Deep Q-Learning(DQL)to dynamically place controllers in Software-Defined Internet of Things(SD-IoT)environments,with the goal of minimizing E2E delay between switches and controllers.E2E delay,a crucial metric for network performance,is influenced by two key factors:hop count,which measures the number of network nodes data must traverse,and propagation delay,which accounts for the physical distance between nodes.Our approach models the controller placement problem as a Markov Decision Process(MDP).In this model,the network configuration at any given time is represented as a“state,”while“actions”correspond to potential decisions regarding the placement of controllers or the reassignment of switches to controllers.Using a Deep Q-Network(DQN)to approximate the Q-function,the system learns the optimal controller placement by maximizing the cumulative reward,which is defined as the negative of the E2E delay.Essentially,the lower the delay,the higher the reward the system receives,enabling it to continuously improve its controller placement strategy.The experimental results show that our DQL-based method significantly reduces E2E delay when compared to traditional benchmark placement strategies.By dynamically learning from the network’s real-time conditions,the proposed method ensures that controller placement remains efficient and responsive,reducing communication delays and enhancing overall network performance.

文摘Lithology identificationwhile drilling technology can obtain rock information in real-time.However,traditional lithology identificationmodels often face limitations in feature extraction and adaptability to complex geological conditions,limiting their accuracy in challenging environments.To address these challenges,a deep learning model for lithology identificationwhile drilling is proposed.The proposed model introduces a dual attention mechanism in the long short-term memory(LSTM)network,effectively enhancing the ability to capture spatial and channel dimension information.Subsequently,the crayfishoptimization algorithm(COA)is applied to optimize the model network structure,thereby enhancing its lithology identificationcapability.Laboratory test results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves 97.15%accuracy on the testing set,significantlyoutperforming the traditional support vector machine(SVM)method(81.77%).Field tests under actual drilling conditions demonstrate an average accuracy of 91.96%for the proposed model,representing a 14.31%improvement over the LSTM model alone.The proposed model demonstrates robust adaptability and generalization ability across diverse operational scenarios.This research offers reliable technical support for lithology identification while drilling.

文摘Accurate estimation of biomass is necessary for evaluating crop growth and predicting crop yield.Biomass is also a key trait in increasing grain yield by crop breeding.The aims of this study were(i)to identify the best vegetation indices for estimating maize biomass,(ii)to investigate the relationship between biomass and leaf area index(LAI)at several growth stages,and(iii)to evaluate a biomass model using measured vegetation indices or simulated vegetation indices of Sentinel 2A and LAI using a deep neural network(DNN)algorithm.The results showed that biomass was associated with all vegetation indices.The three-band water index(TBWI)was the best vegetation index for estimating biomass and the corresponding R2,RMSE,and RRMSE were 0.76,2.84 t ha−1,and 38.22%respectively.LAI was highly correlated with biomass(R2=0.89,RMSE=2.27 t ha−1,and RRMSE=30.55%).Estimated biomass based on 15 hyperspectral vegetation indices was in a high agreement with measured biomass using the DNN algorithm(R2=0.83,RMSE=1.96 t ha−1,and RRMSE=26.43%).Biomass estimation accuracy was further increased when LAI was combined with the 15 vegetation indices(R2=0.91,RMSE=1.49 t ha−1,and RRMSE=20.05%).Relationships between the hyperspectral vegetation indices and biomass differed from relationships between simulated Sentinel 2A vegetation indices and biomass.Biomass estimation from the hyperspectral vegetation indices was more accurate than that from the simulated Sentinel 2A vegetation indices(R2=0.87,RMSE=1.84 t ha−1,and RRMSE=24.76%).The DNN algorithm was effective in improving the estimation accuracy of biomass.It provides a guideline for estimating biomass of maize using remote sensing technology and the DNN algorithm in this region.

文摘Carrier tracking is laid great emphasis and is the difficulty of signal processing in deep space communication system.For the autonomous radio receiving system in deep space, the tracking of the received signal is automatic when the signal to noise ratio（SNR） is unknown.If the frequency-locked loop（FLL） or the phase-locked loop（PLL） with fixed loop bandwidth, or Kalman filter with fixed noise variance is adopted, the accretion of estimation error and filter divergence may be caused.Therefore, the Kalman filter algorithm with adaptive capability is adopted to suppress filter divergence.Through analyzing the inadequacies of Sage–Husa adaptive filtering algorithm, this paper introduces a weighted adaptive filtering algorithm for autonomous radio.The introduced algorithm may resolve the defect of Sage–Husa adaptive filtering algorithm that the noise covariance matrix is negative definite in filtering process.In addition, the upper diagonal（UD） factorization and innovation adaptive control are used to reduce model estimation errors,suppress filter divergence and improve filtering accuracy.The simulation results indicate that compared with the Sage–Husa adaptive filtering algorithm, this algorithm has better capability to adapt to the loop, convergence performance and tracking accuracy, which contributes to the effective and accurate carrier tracking in low SNR environment, showing a better application prospect.
文摘The performance of deep learning(DL)networks has been increased by elaborating the network structures. However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.
