Recent studies confirm that the functional-structural coupling in certain regions is more tightly correlated than in others. However, existing multi-modal methods often directly fuse functional brain networks (FBN) and structural brain networks (SBN), ignoring the regional heterogeneity between them. Additionally, identity information encoded in brain networks may interfere with disease diagnosis. In this paper, we develop a multi-modal brain network fusion method with regional heterogeneity constraints, and design a feature decoupling module to alleviate disease-irrelevant information. Specifically, we first divide FBN and SBN into multiple subnetworks, and introduce penalty weights to reduce the communication cost between cross-modal brain regions within the subnetwork while increasing the cost between different subnetworks. Then, under the regional heterogeneity constraints, we adopt optimal transport to simulate the transfer of brain region hubness from FBN to SBN, thereby effectively integrating the complex cross-modal interactions. Furthermore, we design a feature decoupling module to suppress ineffective features and enhance the discrimination between modality-specific features and multi-modal features. Experimental results show that the proposed method has promising performance and can identify multi-modal biomarkers for brain disease diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"3654-3666"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in this paper, a control strategy based on passivity fractional-order sliding mode control (PFOSMC) is proposed to enhance the performance and robustness of UPQC. The passivity of system is demonstrated by establishing the Euler-Lagrange model, and then the passivity-based control (PBC) is designed to accelerate the convergence speed of system to errors. In practice, changes in the stable equilibrium points may cause disturbances to the passive control law, so a SMC is employed to optimize PBC by utilizing the advantages of SMC in resisting internal and external disturbances. To suppress the chattering, a fractional-order term is introduced into SMC, which promotes the system to approach the sliding surface more smoothly. After that, the control law of PFOSMC is designed, and the overall control strategy of UPQC is given based on this control law. To verify the superiority of the proposed PFOSMC in operation performance, the comparative experiments on PI, PBC, SMC and PFOSMC are tested under various working conditions from the aspects of overshoot, dynamic response and total harmonic distortion. Experimental results indicate that the proposed PFOSMC-based control strategy can more effectively enhance the UPQC’s operation performance.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"2675-2688"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144867850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 detect and prevent anomalous behaviors like data tampering, forwarding path anomalies, and malicious packet drops through forwarding verification by exchange nodes, SDN-ZTM applies SDN to the data transmission process between IoT edge nodes. This approach applies the SDN architecture to the transmission process of data flows between edge nodes, utilizing a fixed-length header overhead for zero-trust management of data flows, nodes, and paths, thereby enabling lightweight packet forwarding verification and malicious exchange node localization. Simulation studies and theoretical research show that SDN-ZTM offers more extensive security features than similar methods. Additionally, SDN-ZTM is a lightweight, useful solution appropriate for IoT application scenarios since it introduces a fixed-length header and has a smaller performance overhead. Experimental results show that the method introduces less than 10% forwarding delay and less than 8% throughput loss.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"4849-4858"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current federated learning approaches often ignore energy consumption, while energy consumption is playing a pivotal role in sustainability of transportation systems. In this paper, we propose a Two-Phase Client Selection strategy for federated learning (FedTPCS) in traffic flow prediction, aiming to minimize the total energy consumption of clients for participation while considering device and data heterogeneity. First, to tackle device heterogeneity, we leverage K-means clustering to group clients based on their computing power and geographic distance. We strategically select the clustered group with the lowest average cost that is the combination of energy consumption and latency. Second, to tackle data heterogeneity, we leverage affinity propagation clustering based on cosine similarity of model update vectors to divide the selected clients into several subgroups of similar clients. We evaluate the performance of the proposed FedTPCS algorithm on two public datasets. Compared to FedAvg, FedAEB and Greedy algorithms, the FedTPCS algorithm reduces cost by up to 56%, 30%, and 20% under the PeMS dataset, and 50%, 28%, and 18% under the Highways England dataset, respectively.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"2955-2964"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 fully realize the advantages of EV ecosystems and integrate them with the MG control schemes, the use of information and communication technologies is required, making the EV ecosystem prone to data manipulation and malware injection. On this basis, the potential vulnerabilities of MGs, such as the load frequency control (LFC) model, that plays an important role in keeping a balance between generation and demand, will be discussed. Then, a switching attack vector originating from EV ecosystems is leveraged to launch coordinated EV-based load-altering attacks (EV-LAAs) based on the frequency of lightly damped modes in MGs. A multi-agent cooperative reinforcement learning (RL) control framework based on the actor-critic proximal policy optimization (PPO) model is designed to mitigate the switching attack vectors. A Lyapunov function is developed using the PPO to provide monotonic policies and guarantee MG’s stability. The performance and robustness of the proposed method are compared with a model-based controller and a centralized RL framework for several attack scenarios during disturbances in wind speed, solar irradiation, and parametric uncertainties under a testbed that integrates a virtual sphere (vSphere) of an EV ecosystem with an islanded MG simulated in OPAL-RT 5650.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"6093-6108"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, how to deliver consumer electronics to households at minimal cost has become a crucial factor that limits the development of the consumer technology industry. To tackle this problem, this paper studies the task assignment problem for multiple initially dispersed UAVs to deliver products to target locations while minimizing their total operation time. Each UAV can continuously provide delivery services to multiple target locations within its limited loading capacity and operation time. To solve this problem, we propose several hybrid multi-population genetic algorithms. First, a novel crossover operator for the genetic algorithms is designed, through which a single parent chromosome can generate offspring individually. Second, two mutation mechanisms are performed to increase gene diversity. Third, multiple local search strategies are employed to enhance the populations’ fitness during each iteration of evolution. An improved 2-opt local search strategy is applied to optimize individual chromosomes when their similarity with the current best chromosome falls below a prescribed threshold. Alternatively, local search strategies are utilized for 1-opt, 2h-opt, and interchange processes. Combining local search strategies, genetic operators, and the multi-population mechanism leads to several hybrid multi-population genetic algorithms. Numerical simulations and experimental tests demonstrate that the hybrid multi-population genetic algorithm, integrated with the improved 2-opt and 1-opt local search strategies, exhibits superior performance among the designed hybrid genetic algorithms, the minimum marginal cost algorithm (MMA), and the existing popular Co-evolutionary Multi-population Genetic Algorithm (CMGA). In experimental scenarios, the hybrid multi-population genetic algorithm significantly improves CMGA and MMA, reducing UAVs’ total operation time by 4.8% and 13.8%, respectively. This demonstrates its efficiency in meeting the growing demand for low-cost delivery of consumer electronics. This method ensures that logistics operations remain agile and approachable to growing market needs, reinforcing the consumer technology industry’s capability to meet customer expectations in a viable landscape.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"2395-2406"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, consumers often distrust the sustainability claims of consumer electronics products. Artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology can address this trust deficit through transparency and traceability mechanisms. This study integrates blockchain technology into traditional consumer electronics supply chains, considering consumers’ preferences and trust in these products. An AI-based game model is proposed to analyze the interactions among supply chain members before and after implementing blockchain technology, under varying Edge Computing-based power structures. This model quantitatively evaluates emission reduction and pricing strategies, aiming to optimize consumer surplus and total social welfare. By leveraging Lightweight AI and blockchain, smart wholesale and cost-sharing contracts are designed to establish reasonable ranges for wholesale prices and optimal cost-sharing ratios, enhancing enterprise operational efficiency and achieving supply chain coordination. Results demonstrate that when consumers exhibit a stronger preference for consumer electronics products, the adoption of Lightweight AI and blockchain delivers greater benefits across the supply chain. Furthermore, as consumer willingness to purchase these products increases, the advantages become more pronounced. Numerical analysis highlights that smart contracts can better coordinate the supply chain, particularly in retailer-dominated scenarios.

Furthermore, these methods often lack explicit modeling of category information, limiting their ability to adapt attention distributions based on sentiment categories. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a BERT-based model with a category-aware multi-head attention mechanism. The model introduces an aspect projection layer that maps aspect word embeddings into a feature space aligned with the context, thereby enhancing interaction between aspect words and the surrounding text. Additionally, a category-aware multi-head attention mechanism combines category weights and dynamic content weights to effectively fuse sentiment category information. This design significantly improves the model’s ability to capture sentiment features of multiple categories.
