Nevertheless, ensuring the robustness of diagnosis remains a critical and challenging task in real application. To enhance the robustness of diagnosis and achieve a more thorough evaluation of diagnostic performance, a robust diagnostic procedure based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a new method for evaluation of the diagnosis robustness was proposed and investigated in this work. To improve the diagnosis robustness: (1) the degradation mechanism of different faults in the high temperature PEM fuel cell was first analyzed via the distribution of relaxation time of EIS to determine the equivalent circuit model (ECM) with better interpretability, simplicity and accuracy;(2) the feature extraction was implemented on the identified parameters of the ECM and extra attention was paid to distinguishing between the long-term normal degradation and other faults;(3) a Siamese Network was adopted to get features with higher robustness in a new embedding. The diagnosis was conducted using 6 classic classification algorithms—support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and Naive Bayes employing a dataset comprising a total of 1935 collected EIS. To evaluate the robustness of trained models: (1) different levels of errors were added to the features for performance evaluation;(2) a robustness coefficient (Roubust_C) was defined for a quantified and explicit evaluation of the diagnosis robustness. The diagnostic models employing the proposed feature extraction method can not only achieve the higher performance of around 100% but also higher robustness for diagnosis models. Despite the initial performance being similar, the KNN demonstrated a superior robustness after feature selection and re-embedding by triplet-loss method, which suggests the necessity of robustness evaluation for the machine learning models and the effectiveness of the defined robustness coefficient. This work hopes to give new insights to the robust diagnosis of high temperature PEM fuel cells and more comprehensive performance evaluation of the data-driven method for diagnostic application.展开更多

文摘Achieving high-resolution intracranial imaging in a safe and portable manner is critical for the diagnosis of intracranial diseases,preoperative planning of craniotomies and intraoperative management during craniotomy procedures.Adaptive waveform inversion(AWI),a variant of full waveform inversion(FWI),has shown potential in intracranial ultrasound imaging.However,the robustness of AWI is affected by the parameterization of the Gaussian penalty matrix and the challenges posed by transcranial scenarios.Conventional AWI struggles to produce accurate images in these cases,limiting its application in critical medical settings.To address these issues,we propose a stabilized adaptive waveform inversion(SAWI)method,which introduces a user-defined zero-lag position for theWiener filter.Numerical experiments demonstrate that SAWI can achieve accurate imaging under Gaussian penalty matrix parameter settings where AWI fails,perform successful transcranial imaging in configurations where AWI cannot,and maintain the same imaging accuracy as AWI.The advantage of this method is that it achieves these advancements without modifying the AWI framework or increasing computational costs,which helps to promote the application of AWI in medical fields,particularly in transcranial scenarios.

文摘Tag recommendation systems can significantly improve the accuracy of information retrieval by recommending relevant tag sets that align with user preferences and resource characteristics.However,metric learning methods often suffer from high sensitivity,leading to unstable recommendation results when facing adversarial samples generated through malicious user behavior.Adversarial training is considered to be an effective method for improving the robustness of tag recommendation systems and addressing adversarial samples.However,it still faces the challenge of overfitting.Although curriculum learning-based adversarial training somewhat mitigates this issue,challenges still exist,such as the lack of a quantitative standard for attack intensity and catastrophic forgetting.To address these challenges,we propose a Self-Paced Adversarial Metric Learning(SPAML)method.First,we employ a metric learning model to capture the deep distance relationships between normal samples.Then,we incorporate a self-paced adversarial training model,which dynamically adjusts the weights of adversarial samples,allowing the model to progressively learn from simpler to more complex adversarial samples.Finally,we jointly optimize the metric learning loss and self-paced adversarial training loss in an adversarial manner,enhancing the robustness and performance of tag recommendation tasks.Extensive experiments on the MovieLens and LastFm datasets demonstrate that SPAML achieves F1@3 and NDCG@3 scores of 22%and 32.7%on the MovieLens dataset,and 19.4%and 29%on the LastFm dataset,respectively,outperforming the most competitive baselines.Specifically,F1@3 improves by 4.7%and 6.8%,and NDCG@3 improves by 5.0%and 6.9%,respectively.

文摘Achieving higher accuracy positioning results in urban environments at a lower cost has been an important pursuit in areas such as autonomous driving and intelligent transportation.Lowcost Inertial Navigation System and Global Navigation Satellite System(INS/GNSS)integrated navigation systems have been an important means of fulfilling the above quest due to the complementary error characteristics between INS and GNSS.The complex urban driving environment requires the system sufficiently adaptive to keep up with the time-varying measurement noise and sufficiently robust to cope with measurement outliers and prior uncertainties.However,many efforts lack a balance between adaptability and robustness.In this paper,a novel positioning method with both adaptability and robustness is proposed by coupling the Mahalanobis distance method,the Variational Bayesian method and the student’s t-distribution in one process(M-VBt method).This method is robust against non-Gaussian noise and priori uncertainties,plus adaptive against measurement noise uncertainty and time-varying noise.The field test results show that the M-VBt method(especially the Mahalanobis distance part)has significantly improved the system performance in the complex urban driving environment.

文摘Hidden capacity,concealment,security,and robustness are essential indicators of hiding algorithms.Currently,hiding algorithms tend to focus on algorithmic capacity,concealment,and security but often overlook the robustness of the algorithms.In practical applications,the container can suffer from damage caused by noise,cropping,and other attacks during transmission,resulting in challenging or even impossible complete recovery of the secret image.An image hiding algorithm based on dynamic region attention in the multi-scale wavelet domain is proposed to address this issue and enhance the robustness of hiding algorithms.In this proposed algorithm,a secret image of size 256×256 is first decomposed using an eight-level Haar wavelet transform.The wavelet transform generates one coefficient in the approximation component and twenty-four detail bands,which are then embedded into the carrier image via a hiding network.During the recovery process,the container image is divided into four non-overlapping parts,each employed to reconstruct a low-resolution secret image.These lowresolution secret images are combined using densemodules to obtain a high-quality secret image.The experimental results showed that even under destructive attacks on the container image,the proposed algorithm is successful in recovering a high-quality secret image,indicating that the algorithm exhibits a high degree of robustness against various attacks.The proposed algorithm effectively addresses the robustness issue by incorporating both spatial and channel attention mechanisms in the multi-scale wavelet domain,making it suitable for practical applications.In conclusion,the image hiding algorithm introduced in this study offers significant improvements in robustness compared to existing algorithms.Its ability to recover high-quality secret images even in the presence of destructive attacksmakes it an attractive option for various applications.Further research and experimentation can explore the algorithm’s performance under different scenarios and expand its potential applications.

文摘With the widespread use of machine learning(ML)technology,the operational efficiency and responsiveness of power grids have been significantly enhanced,allowing smart grids to achieve high levels of automation and intelligence.However,tree ensemble models commonly used in smart grids are vulnerable to adversarial attacks,making it urgent to enhance their robustness.To address this,we propose a robustness enhancement method that incorporates physical constraints into the node-splitting decisions of tree ensembles.Our algorithm improves robustness by developing a dataset of adversarial examples that comply with physical laws,ensuring training data accurately reflects possible attack scenarios while adhering to physical rules.In our experiments,the proposed method increased robustness against adversarial attacks by 100%when applied to real grid data under physical constraints.These results highlight the advantages of our method in maintaining efficient and secure operation of smart grids under adversarial conditions.
文摘The Social Internet of Things(SIoT)integrates the Internet of Things(IoT)and social networks,taking into account the social attributes of objects and diversifying the relationship between humans and objects,which overcomes the limitations of the IoT’s focus on associations between objects.Artificial Intelligence(AI)technology is rapidly evolving.It is critical to build trustworthy and transparent systems,especially with system security issues coming to the surface.This paper emphasizes the social attributes of objects and uses hypergraphs to model the diverse entities and relationships in SIoT,aiming to build an SIoT hypergraph generation model to explore the complex interactions between entities in the context of intelligent SIoT.Current hypergraph generation models impose too many constraints and fail to capture more details of real hypernetworks.In contrast,this paper proposes a hypergraph generation model that evolves dynamically over time,where only the number of nodes is fixed.It combines node wandering with a forest fire model and uses two different methods to control the size of the hyperedges.As new nodes are added,the model can promptly reflect changes in entities and relationships within SIoT.Experimental results exhibit that our model can effectively replicate the topological structure of real-world hypernetworks.We also evaluate the vulnerability of the hypergraph under different attack strategies,which provides theoretical support for building a more robust intelligent SIoT hypergraph model and lays the foundation for building safer and more reliable systems in the future.

文摘Utilizing machine learning techniques for data-driven diagnosis of high temperature PEM fuel cells is beneficial and meaningful to the system durability. Nevertheless, ensuring the robustness of diagnosis remains a critical and challenging task in real application. To enhance the robustness of diagnosis and achieve a more thorough evaluation of diagnostic performance, a robust diagnostic procedure based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a new method for evaluation of the diagnosis robustness was proposed and investigated in this work. To improve the diagnosis robustness: (1) the degradation mechanism of different faults in the high temperature PEM fuel cell was first analyzed via the distribution of relaxation time of EIS to determine the equivalent circuit model (ECM) with better interpretability, simplicity and accuracy;(2) the feature extraction was implemented on the identified parameters of the ECM and extra attention was paid to distinguishing between the long-term normal degradation and other faults;(3) a Siamese Network was adopted to get features with higher robustness in a new embedding. The diagnosis was conducted using 6 classic classification algorithms—support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and Naive Bayes employing a dataset comprising a total of 1935 collected EIS. To evaluate the robustness of trained models: (1) different levels of errors were added to the features for performance evaluation;(2) a robustness coefficient (Roubust_C) was defined for a quantified and explicit evaluation of the diagnosis robustness. The diagnostic models employing the proposed feature extraction method can not only achieve the higher performance of around 100% but also higher robustness for diagnosis models. Despite the initial performance being similar, the KNN demonstrated a superior robustness after feature selection and re-embedding by triplet-loss method, which suggests the necessity of robustness evaluation for the machine learning models and the effectiveness of the defined robustness coefficient. This work hopes to give new insights to the robust diagnosis of high temperature PEM fuel cells and more comprehensive performance evaluation of the data-driven method for diagnostic application.

文摘Isothermal forging stands as an effective technology for the production of large-scale titanium alloy multi-rib components.However,challenges have persisted,including die underfilling and strain concentration due to the complex material flow and heterogeneous deformation within the forging die cavity.While approaches centered on optimized billet designs have mitigated these challenges,uncertainties in process parameters continue to introduce unacceptable variations in forming accuracy and stability.To tackle this issue,this study introduced a multi-objective robust optimization approach for billet design,accounting for the multi-rib eigenstructure and potential uncertainties.The approach includes finite element(FE)modeling for analyzing the die-filling and strain inhomogeneity within the multi-rib eigenstructure.Furthermore,it integrated image acquisition perception and feed back technologies(IAPF)for real-time monitoring of material flow and filling sequences within die rib-grooves,validating the accuracy of the FE modeling.By incorporating dimensional parameters of the billet and uncertainty factors,including friction,draft angle,forming temperature,speed,and deviations in billet and die,quantitative analyses on the rib-groove filling and strain inhomogeneity with fluctuation were conducted.Subsequently,a dual-response surface model was developed for statistical analysis of the cavity filling and strain homogeneity.Finally,the robust optimization was processed using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II)and validated using the IAPF technologies.The proposed approach enables robust design enhancements for rib-groove filling and strain homogeneity in titanium alloy multi-rib components.

文摘With the rapid development of electric vehicles,the requirements for charging stations are getting higher and higher.In this study,we constructed a charging station topology network inNanjing through the Space-L method,mapping charging stations as network nodes and constructing edges through road relationships.The experiment introduced five EV charging recommendation strategies(based on distance,number of fast charging piles,user preference,price,and overall rating)used to simulate disordered charging caused by different user preferences,and the impact of the networkdynamic robustness in case of node failure is exploredby simulating the load-capacity cascade failure model.In this paper,two important metrics for evaluating network robustness are selected:the relative size of the maximum connected subgraph and the network efficiency.The experimental results point out that in the price recommendation strategy,the network stability significantly decreases when the node failure ratio reaches 75.4%,while the fast charging quantity recommendation strategy significantly decreases when the node failure ratio is 62.3%.Therefore,the robustness of the charging station network is best under the price recommendation,while the network robustness is poor under the fast charging quantity recommendation.While the network robustness is poor under preference recommendation.Based on this finding,this study particularly emphasizes that in the process of improving the robustness of the charging station network,it is necessary to comprehensively consider the market demand and guide users to charge in an orderly manner by reasonably adjusting the price strategy.This strategy not only effectively prevents network stability problems that may result fromdisorderly charging behavior,but also enhances the ability of the charging network to resist node failure and improves the overall dynamic robustness of the network.
文摘Advances in software and hardware technologies have facilitated the production of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).Nowadays,people actively use quadrotor UAVs in essential missions such as search and rescue,counter-terrorism,firefighting,surveillance,and cargo transportation.While performing these tasks,quadrotors must operate in noisy environments.Therefore,a robust controller design that can control the altitude and attitude of the quadrotor in noisy environments is of great importance.Many researchers have focused only on white Gaussian noise in their studies,whereas researchers need to consider the effects of all colored noises during the operation of the quadrotor.This study aims to design a robust controller that is resistant to all colored noises.Firstly,a nonlinear quadrotormodel was created with MATLAB.Then,a backstepping controller resistant to colored noises was designed.Thedesigned backstepping controller was tested under Gaussian white,pink,brown,blue,and purple noises.PID and Lyapunov-based controller designswere also carried out,and their time responses(rise time,overshoot,settling time)were compared with those of the backstepping controller.In the simulations,time was in seconds,altitude was in meters,and roll,pitch,and yaw references were in radians.Rise and settling time values were in seconds,and overshoot value was in percent.When the obtained values are examined,simulations prove that the proposed backstepping controller has the least overshoot and the shortest settling time under all noise types.

文摘Unlike conventional topological edge states confined at a domain wall between two topologically distinct media,the recently proposed large-area topological waveguide states in three-layer heterostructures,which consist of a domain featuring Dirac points sandwiched between two domains of different topologies,have introduced the mode width degree of freedom for more flexible manipulation of electromagnetic waves.Until now,the experimental realizations of photonic large-area topological waveguide states have been exclusively based on quantum Hall and quantum valley-Hall systems.We propose a new way to create large-area topological waveguide states based on the photonic quantum spin-Hall system and observe their unique feature of pseudo-spin-momentum-locking unidirectional propagation for the first time in experiments.Moreover,due to the new effect provided by the mode width degree of freedom,the propagation of these large-area quantum spin-Hall waveguide states exhibits unusually strong robustness against defects,e.g.,large voids with size reaching several unit cells,which has not been reported previously.Finally,practical applications,such as topological channel intersection and topological energy concentrator,are further demonstrated based on these novel states.Our work not only completes the last member of such states in the photonic quantum Hall,quantum valley-Hall,and quantum spin-Hall family,but also provides further opportunities for high-capacity energy transport with tunable mode width and exceptional robustness in integrated photonic devices and on-chip communications.

文摘This paper tackles uncertainties between planning and actual models.It extends the concept of RCI(robust control invariant)tubes,originally a parameterized representation of closed-loop control robustness in traditional feedback control,to the domain of motion planning for autonomous vehicles.Thus,closed-loop system uncertainty can be preemptively addressed during vehicle motion planning.This involves selecting collision-free trajectories to minimize the volume of robust invariant tubes.Furthermore,constraints on state and control variables are translated into constraints on the RCI tubes of the closed-loop system,ensuring that motion planning produces a safe and optimal trajectory while maintaining flexibility,rather than solely optimizing for the open-loop nominal model.Additionally,to expedite the solving process,we were inspired by L2gain to parameterize the RCI tubes and developed a parameterized explicit iterative expression for propagating ellipsoidal uncertainty sets within closedloop systems.Furthermore,we applied the pseudospectral orthogonal collocation method to parameterize the optimization problem of transcribing trajectories using high-order Lagrangian polynomials.Finally,under various operating conditions,we incorporate both the kinematic and dynamic models of the vehicle and also conduct simulations and analyses of uncertainties such as heading angle measurement,chassis response,and steering hysteresis.Our proposed robust motion planning framework has been validated to effectively address nearly all bounded uncertainties while anticipating potential tracking errors in control during the planning phase.This ensures fast,closed-loop safety and robustness in vehicle motion planning.
