First, to achieve the mirrored collaboration in symmetric convex hulls, the layer-signed digraph is generated by involving the antagonistic interaction. Benefiting from the hierarchical structure, the antagonistic interaction in the assistant-layer replaces the assumption of in-degree balance for the existing cluster consensus issues. Second, the existing types of control protocols and the framework of cooperative output regulation limit the achievement of the studied hierarchical mirrored collaboration. To solve this problem, the hierarchical cooperative output regulation is extended based on the formulated hierarchical mirrored collaborative errors. Third, the layer-signal compensator is designed estimating the states of leaders as well as guaranteeing the convergence of collaborative behaviors. Combining with the designed layer-signal compensator, a novel HCC protocol is proposed so that the bipartite cluster consensus behavior can be achieved simultaneously in two symmetric convex hulls. Finally, theoretical results are verified by performing the numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"55 2","pages":"765-775"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142961511","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}

This has led to the emergence of a novel human-machine computing (HMC) paradigm, which combines human cognitive abilities with machine computational power to create a collaborative computing framework that meets the demands of large-scale, complex tasks and enables human-machine symbiosis. Human processing units (HPUs) are crucial computing resources in HMC-oriented systems, and efficient HPU resource provisioning is key to boosting system performance. However, existing schemes often fail to assign tasks to the most suitable HPUs and optimize HPU utility, as they either cannot quantitatively measure skills or overlook utility concerns during task assignment and scheduling. To address these challenges, this article proposes a fine-grained HPU virtualization (FingHV) approach, which leverages virtualization techniques to improve flexibility, fairness, and utility in the provisioning process. The core idea is to use a tree-based skill model to precisely measure the levels and correlations of multiple skills within individual HPUs, and to apply a mixed time/event-based scheduling policy to maximize HPU utility. Specifically, we begin by proposing a hierarchical multiskill tree to model HPU skills and their correlations. Next, we formulate the HPU virtualization problem and present a fine-grained virtualization method, which includes a quality-driven HPU assignment process and a mixed time/event-based scheduling policy to improve resource-sharing efficiency. Finally, we evaluate FingHV on a synthetic dataset with varying task sizes and a real-world case. The results demonstrate that FingHV improves global matching quality by up to 39.7% and increases HPU utility by 11.2% compared to the baselines.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"55 2","pages":"600-614"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142961510","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}

In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of continuous control policies based on deep deterministic policy gradient. To achieve good control of quantum systems with high fidelity, we propose an auxiliary task-based deep RL (AT-DRL) for quantum control. In particular, we design an auxiliary task to predict the fidelity value, sharing partial parameters with the main network (from the main RL task). The auxiliary task learns synchronously with the main task, allowing one to extract intrinsic features of the environment, thus aiding the agent to achieve the desired state with high fidelity. To further enhance the control performance, we also design a guided reward function based on the fidelity of quantum states that enables gradual fidelity improvement. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed AT-DRL can provide a good solution to the exploration of quantum dynamics. It not only achieves high task fidelities but also demonstrates fast learning rates. Moreover, AT-DRL has great potential in designing control pulses that achieve effective quantum state preparation.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"55 2","pages":"712-725"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142936235","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}
