However, this approach has not gained significant traction in practical applications due to its stringent computational requirements. This work addresses this issue through a novel fast retraining strategy that enhances applicability of the MPI-based ITL. Specifically, during each retraining epoch, a random layer freezing protocol is utilized to manage the number of layers undergoing feature refinement. Additionally, this work incorporates an MPI-based approach for refining the trainable parameters of FC layers under batch processing, contributing to expedited convergence. Extensive experiments on several ImageNet pretrained benchmark DCNNs demonstrate that the proposed ITL achieves competitive performance with excellent convergence speed compared to conventional ITL methods. For instance, the proposed strategy converges nearly 1.5 times faster than retraining the ImageNet pretrained ResNet-50 using stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM).</p>","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To establish the human-robot interaction relationship, we regard the contact pressure between human residual limb and the prosthetic receiving cavity as the interaction force. We aim at reducing the interaction force under the premise of minimally changing the original motion trajectory of the robotic prosthesis. The control scheme mainly includes trajectory optimization based on a dual-agent game control scheme under a cooperative relationship, and a fuzzy logic system for improving the control accuracy of trajectory tracking of robotic prostheses with unknown dynamic parameters. Experiments were carried out on two amputee participants to verify the proposed human-robot interactive control scheme in a robotic prosthesis. The results show that the interaction torque could be reduced while maintaining minimal trajectory tracking error. The proposed control scheme could potentially facilitate the dexterous manipulation of leg prostheses, thus benefiting amputees.</p>","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After training the noise estimation network of the denoising diffusion models, we accelerate the deterministic sampling process with denoising diffusion implicit models. We also propose a patch-based method by implementing average sampling between overlapping image patches at each sampling step, enabling the generation of images at arbitrary resolution while preserving their natural appearance and details.

The underlying semi-Markov singularly perturbed systems (SMSPSs) exhibit mode switching behavior governed by a semi-Markov process, wherein the variation of this process is regulated by a deterministic switching signal. To simultaneously reduce the triggering rate and uphold the system performance, a novel parameter-based dynamic ETP is established. This protocol incorporates weight estimation of a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and introduces two internal dynamic variables. Following the Lyapunov's theory, sufficient criteria are established for ensuring the mean-square exponential stability of the resulting system.

Although fractional-order JFM ( FOJFM) introduces spatial information through a fractional-order parameter, the control of spatial information remains inadequate. This limitation stems from the insufficient control over zeros distribution associated with the used moment's radial kernel. To address this issue, we generalize both JFM and FOJFM into a transformed JFM. A transformed function with four parameters is designed, and adjustable JFM (AJFM) is proposed. Two parameters correlate to increasing velocities on the left and right parts of the transformed functions, enabling zeros quantities of radial kernel fall in the left and right parts of the interval. The other two parameters segment the transformed function, adjusting regions where different quantities of zeros fall in. This refined control over the radial kernel's zero distribution enhances the versatility of feature extraction by the AJFM, governed by the introduced parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that AJFM, with properly chosen parameters, can emphasize specific regions within an image more effectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
