Firstly, a prediction model is obtained using the broad learning technique to train historical data generated by the system offline without DoS attacks. Secondly, the dynamic linearization method is used to obtain the equivalent linearization model of NMASs. Then, a novel model-free adaptive predictive control(MFAPC) framework based on historical and online data generated by the system is proposed, which combines the trained prediction model with the model-free adaptive control method. The development of the MFAPC method motivates a much simpler robust predictive control solution that is convenient to use in the case of DoS attacks. Meanwhile, the MFAPC algorithm provides a unified predictive framework for solving consensus tracking and containment control problems. The boundedness of the containment error can be proven by using the contraction mapping principle and the mathematical induction method. Finally, the proposed MFAPC is assessed through comparative experiments.展开更多

The nodes are modeled by the Gaussian mixture model. The connectivity between nodes is judged by their cross-correlation function, which is also used to calculate their transition time distribution. The mutual information of the connected node pair is employed for transition probability calculation. A false link eliminating approach is proposed, along with a topology updating strategy to improve the learned topology. A real monitoring system with five disjoint cameras is built for experiments. Comparative results with traditional methods show that the proposed method is more accurate in topology learning and is more robust to environmental changes.展开更多

文摘Adaptive robust secure framework plays a vital role in implementing intelligent automation and decentralized decision making of Industry 5.0.Latency,privacy risks and the complexity of industrial networks have been preventing attempts at traditional cloud-based learning systems.We demonstrate that,to overcome these challenges,for instance,the EdgeGuard-IoT framework,a 6G edge intelligence framework enhancing cybersecurity and operational resilience of the smart grid,is needed on the edge to integrate Secure Federated Learning(SFL)and Adaptive Anomaly Detection(AAD).With ultra-reliable low latency communication(URLLC)of 6G,artificial intelligence-based network orchestration,and massive machine type communication(mMTC),EdgeGuard-IoT brings real-time,distributed intelligence on the edge,and mitigates risks in data transmission and enhances privacy.EdgeGuard-IoT,with a hierarchical federated learning framework,helps edge devices to collaboratively train models without revealing the sensitive grid data,which is crucial in the smart grid where real-time power anomaly detection and the decentralization of the energy management are a big deal.The hybrid AI models driven adaptive anomaly detection mechanism immediately raises the thumb if the grid stability and strength are negatively affected due to cyber threats,faults,and energy distribution,thereby keeping the grid stable with resilience.The proposed framework also adopts various security means within the blockchain and zero-trust authentication techniques to reduce the adversarial attack risks and model poisoning during federated learning.EdgeGuard-IoT shows superior detection accuracy,response time,and scalability performance at a much reduced communication overhead via extensive simulations and deployment in real-world case studies in smart grids.This research pioneers a 6G-driven federated intelligence model designed for secure,self-optimizing,and resilient Industry 5.0 ecosystems,paving the way for next-generation autonomous smart grids and industrial cyber-physical systems.

文摘The rapid growth of Internet of things devices and the emergence of rapidly evolving network threats have made traditional security assessment methods inadequate.Federated learning offers a promising solution to expedite the training of security assessment models.However,ensuring the trustworthiness and robustness of federated learning under multi-party collaboration scenarios remains a challenge.To address these issues,this study proposes a shard aggregation network structure and a malicious node detection mechanism,along with improvements to the federated learning training process.First,we extract the data features of the participants by using spectral clustering methods combined with a Gaussian kernel function.Then,we introduce a multi-objective decision-making approach that combines data distribution consistency,consensus communication overhead,and consensus result reliability in order to determine the final network sharing scheme.Finally,by integrating the federated learning aggregation process with the malicious node detection mechanism,we improve the traditional decentralized learning process.Our proposed ShardFed algorithm outperforms conventional classification algorithms and state-of-the-art machine learning methods like FedProx and FedCurv in convergence speed,robustness against data interference,and adaptability across multiple scenarios.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach improves model accuracy by up to 2.33%under non-independent and identically distributed data conditions,maintains higher performance with malicious nodes containing poisoned data ratios of 20%–50%,and significantly enhances model resistance to low-quality data.

文摘In this paper, the containment control problem in nonlinear multi-agent systems(NMASs) under denial-of-service(DoS) attacks is addressed. Firstly, a prediction model is obtained using the broad learning technique to train historical data generated by the system offline without DoS attacks. Secondly, the dynamic linearization method is used to obtain the equivalent linearization model of NMASs. Then, a novel model-free adaptive predictive control(MFAPC) framework based on historical and online data generated by the system is proposed, which combines the trained prediction model with the model-free adaptive control method. The development of the MFAPC method motivates a much simpler robust predictive control solution that is convenient to use in the case of DoS attacks. Meanwhile, the MFAPC algorithm provides a unified predictive framework for solving consensus tracking and containment control problems. The boundedness of the containment error can be proven by using the contraction mapping principle and the mathematical induction method. Finally, the proposed MFAPC is assessed through comparative experiments.

文摘An adaptive topology learning approach is proposed to learn the topology of a practical camera network in an unsupervised way. The nodes are modeled by the Gaussian mixture model. The connectivity between nodes is judged by their cross-correlation function, which is also used to calculate their transition time distribution. The mutual information of the connected node pair is employed for transition probability calculation. A false link eliminating approach is proposed, along with a topology updating strategy to improve the learned topology. A real monitoring system with five disjoint cameras is built for experiments. Comparative results with traditional methods show that the proposed method is more accurate in topology learning and is more robust to environmental changes.
文摘The rapidly evolving cybersecurity threat landscape exposes a critical flaw in traditional educational programs where static curricula cannot adapt swiftly to novel attack vectors.This creates a significant gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical defensive capabilities needed in the field.To address this,we propose TeachSecure-CTI,a novel framework for adaptive cybersecurity curriculumgeneration that integrates real-time Cyber Threat Intelligence(CTI)with AI-driven personalization.Our framework employs a layered architecture featuring a CTI ingestion and clusteringmodule,natural language processing for semantic concept extraction,and a reinforcement learning agent for adaptive content sequencing.Bydynamically aligning learningmaterialswithboththe evolving threat environment and individual learner profiles,TeachSecure-CTI ensures content remains current,relevant,and tailored.A 12-week study with 150 students across three institutions demonstrated that the framework improves learning gains by 34%,significantly exceeding the 12%–21%reported in recent literature.The system achieved 84.8%personalization accuracy,85.9%recognition accuracy for MITRE ATT&CK tactics,and a 31%faster competency development rate compared to static curricula.These findings have implications beyond academia,extending to workforce development,cyber range training,and certification programs.By bridging the gap between dynamic threats and static educational materials,TeachSecure-CTI offers an empirically validated,scalable solution for cultivating cybersecurity professionals capable of responding to modern threats.

文摘To enhance speech emotion recognition capability,this study constructs a speech emotion recognition model integrating the adaptive acoustic mixup(AAM)and improved coordinate and shuffle attention(ICASA)methods.The AAM method optimizes data augmentation by combining a sample selection strategy and dynamic interpolation coefficients,thus enabling information fusion of speech data with different emotions at the acoustic level.The ICASA method enhances feature extraction capability through dynamic fusion of the improved coordinate attention(ICA)and shuffle attention(SA)techniques.The ICA technique reduces computational overhead by employing depth-separable convolution and an h-swish activation function and captures long-range dependencies of multi-scale time-frequency features using the attention weights.The SA technique promotes feature interaction through channel shuffling,which helps the model learn richer and more discriminative emotional features.Experimental results demonstrate that,compared to the baseline model,the proposed model improves the weighted accuracy by 5.42%and 4.54%,and the unweighted accuracy by 3.37%and 3.85%on the IEMOCAP and RAVDESS datasets,respectively.These improvements were confirmed to be statistically significant by independent samples t-tests,further supporting the practical reliability and applicability of the proposed model in real-world emotion-aware speech systems.

文摘To avoid the laborious annotation process for dense prediction tasks like semantic segmentation,unsupervised domain adaptation(UDA)methods have been proposed to leverage the abundant annotations from a source domain,such as virtual world(e.g.,3D games),and adapt models to the target domain(the real world)by narrowing the domain discrepancies.However,because of the large domain gap,directly aligning two distinct domains without considering the intermediates leads to inefficient alignment and inferior adaptation.To address this issue,we propose a novel learnable evolutionary Category Intermediates(CIs)guided UDA model named Leci,which enables the information transfer between the two domains via two processes,i.e.,Distilling and Blending.Starting from a random initialization,the CIs learn shared category-wise semantics automatically from two domains in the Distilling process.Then,the learned semantics in the CIs are sent back to blend the domain features through a residual attentive fusion(RAF)module,such that the categorywise features of both domains shift towards each other.As the CIs progressively and consistently learn from the varying feature distributions during training,they are evolutionary to guide the model to achieve category-wise feature alignment.Experiments on both GTA5 and SYNTHIA datasets demonstrate Leci's superiority over prior representative methods.

文摘Alzheimer’s Disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly affects cognitive function,making early and accurate diagnosis essential.Traditional Deep Learning(DL)-based approaches often struggle with low-contrast MRI images,class imbalance,and suboptimal feature extraction.This paper develops a Hybrid DL system that unites MobileNetV2 with adaptive classification methods to boost Alzheimer’s diagnosis by processing MRI scans.Image enhancement is done using Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE)and Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks(ESRGAN).A classification robustness enhancement system integrates class weighting techniques and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC)-based evaluation method into the design.The trained and validated model gives a 98.88%accuracy rate and 0.9614 MCC score.We also performed a 10-fold cross-validation experiment with an average accuracy of 96.52%(±1.51),a loss of 0.1671,and an MCC score of 0.9429 across folds.The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a 98%weighted F1-score while decreasing misdiagnosis results for every AD stage.The model demonstrates apparent separation abilities between AD progression stages according to the results of the confusion matrix analysis.These results validate the effectiveness of hybrid DL models with adaptive preprocessing for early and reliable Alzheimer’s diagnosis,contributing to improved computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems in clinical practice.

文摘In this paper, a learning control approach is applied to the generalized projective synchronisation （GPS） of different chaotic systems with unknown periodically time-varying parameters. Using the Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional stability theory, a differential-difference mixed parametric learning law and an adaptive learning control law are constructed to make the states of two different chaotic systems asymptotically synchronised. The scheme is successfully applied to the generalized projective synchronisation between the Lorenz system and Chen system. Moreover, numerical simulations results are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

文摘Holographic microscopy has emerged as a vital tool in biomedicine,enabling visualization of microscopic morphological features of tissues and cells in a label-free manner.Recently,deep learning(DL)-based image reconstruction models have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in holographic image reconstruction.However,their utility in practice is still severely limited,as conventional training schemes could not properly handle out-of-distribution data.Here,we leverage backpropagation operation and reparameterization of the forward propagator to enable an adaptable image reconstruction model for histopathologic inspection.Only given with a training dataset of rectum tissue images captured from a single imaging configuration,our scheme consistently shows high reconstruction performance even with the input hologram of diverse tissue types at different pathological states captured under various imaging configurations.Using the proposed adaptation technique,we show that the diagnostic features of cancerous colorectal tissues,such as dirty necrosis,captured with 5×magnification and a numerical aperture(NA)of 0.1,can be reconstructed with high accuracy,whereas a given training dataset is strictly confined to normal rectum tissues acquired under the imaging configuration of 20×magnification and an NA of 0.4.Our results suggest that the DL-based image reconstruction approaches,with sophisticated adaptation techniques,could offer an extensively generalizable solution for inverse mapping problems in imaging.

文摘With increasing density and heterogeneity in unlicensed wireless networks,traditional MAC protocols,such as Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA)in Wi-Fi networks,are experiencing performance degradation.This is manifested in increased collisions and extended backoff times,leading to diminished spectrum efficiency and protocol coordination.Addressing these issues,this paper proposes a deep-learning-based MAC paradigm,dubbed DL-MAC,which leverages spectrum data readily available from energy detection modules in wireless devices to achieve the MAC functionalities of channel access,rate adaptation,and channel switch.First,we utilize DL-MAC to realize a joint design of channel access and rate adaptation.Subsequently,we integrate the capability of channel switching into DL-MAC,enhancing its functionality from single-channel to multi-channel operations.Specifically,the DL-MAC protocol incorporates a Deep Neural Network(DNN)for channel selection and a Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)for the joint design of channel access and rate adaptation.We conducted real-world data collection within the 2.4 GHz frequency band to validate the effectiveness of DL-MAC.Experimental results demonstrate that DL-MAC exhibits significantly superior performance compared to traditional algorithms in both single and multi-channel environments,and also outperforms single-function designs.Additionally,the performance of DL-MAC remains robust,unaffected by channel switch overheads within the evaluation range.

文摘Machine learning methods are widely used to evaluate the risk of small-and mediumsized enterprises(SMEs)in supply chain finance(SCF).However,there may be problems with data scarcity,feature redundancy,and poor predictive performance.Additionally,data collected over a long time span may cause differences in the data distribution,and classic supervised learning methods may exhibit poor predictive abilities under such conditions.To address these issues,a domain-adaptation-based multistage ensemble learning paradigm(DAMEL)is proposed in this study to evaluate the credit risk of SMEs in SCF.In this methodology,a bagging resampling algorithm is first used to generate a dataset to address data scarcity.Subsequently,a random subspace is applied to integrate various features and reduce feature redundancy.Additionally,a domain adaptation approach is utilized to reduce the data distribution discrepancy in the cross-domain.Finally,dynamic model selection is developed to improve the generalization ability of the model in the fourth stage.A real-world credit dataset from the Chinese securities market was used to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the multistage ensemble learning paradigm.The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed domain-adaptation-based multistage ensemble learning paradigm is superior to principal component analysis,joint distribution adaptation,random forest,and other ensemble and transfer learning methods.Moreover,dynamic model selection can improve the model generalization performance and prediction precision of minority samples.This can be considered a promising solution for evaluating the credit risk of SMEs in SCF for financial institutions.
