The complete interaction relationship in the HDI matrix is essential to deal with various problems such as pattern recognition in industrial applications. Therefore, estimating the missing data in the HDI matrix is crucial. latent factor analysis (LFA) models have achieved advanced results in solving such problems. However, the existing LFA models cannot model the nonlinear structure hidden in the HDI matrix. neural networks (NNs) can handle the nonlinearity in the HDI data, but their high estimation accuracy relies on high computation cost and storage burden. To address the aforementioned problems, this article proposes a novel NNLFA model. It contains the following primary ideas: 1) it can model the nonlinear structure of the HDI matrix efficiently through NNs and 2) it incorporates the NNs into the LFA model to improve estimation accuracy while maintaining high computational and storage efficiency. To validate the superiority of the NNLFA model, experiments with six state-of-the-art models are conducted on six practical industrial application datasets. The experimental results indicate that the NNLFA model enhances estimation accuracy by up to 33.3%. In addition, NNLFA model shows strong competitiveness in terms of both time and storage efficiency when compared to baseline models.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 10","pages":"7302-7314"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145090075","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 solve the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, an adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm based on a single critic network is developed. The proposed regulative learning rate strategy outperforms traditional fixed-rate gradient descent approaches found in existing works. With the objective of minimizing the performance index, the optimal value function and the optimal controller are derived from the approximate solution of the HJB equation. To alleviate the resource demand and enhance the flexibility of the threshold function, an adaptive event-triggered (AET) scheme integrating the idea of sampling control and event-triggered strategy is applied to the optimal control initially. Compared with the static event-triggered strategy, the AET method contains increasing engineering value. A piecewise Lyapunov function is constructed based on optimal value function, estimated error introduced by neural network (NN) weight, and the classic Lyapunov-Krasovskii function. Thus, uniform ultimate boundedness for tracking error is proven theoretically. Moreover, the maximum tolerable strength of cyberattacks is provided from the stability analysis. The simulation results exhibit the designed approach’s reliability.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 10","pages":"7024-7036"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100440","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}

Under the continuous communication condition, the traditional adaptive robust motion controller is recursively presented. In order to reduce the unnecessary bandwidth consumption in the aero-engine networked control platform, an adaptive threshold triggered mechanism according to network resources is developed to synthesize the motion controller. Adjustable threshold parameters are involved to flexibly adjust the data transmission times depending on the network bandwidth occupation. It is proved that with the motion controller and the proposed adjustable threshold triggered mechanism, all the closed-loop system signals are globally bounded, and the hydraulic system output achieves asymptotic tracking to the reference trajectory by virtue of the adaptive technique, the Nussbaum-type and sign functions. Besides, the Zeno behavior is excluded, successfully.

In modern industries, condition monitoring, prognosis, and maintenance policies are widely applied to minimize machine failures caused by dominant disturbances (DomDs). However, MDT_RP, because of RecD, has rarely been explored. RecD multivariate time series data faces the challenge of changing information with many noisy and abnormal data points, making it difficult for sequential methods (SMs) to forecast MDT_RP accurately. To address this gap, a novel smoothing and matrix decomposition (MD) based stacked bidirectional gated recurrent unit (STMD_SBiGRU) is proposed for MDT_RP forecasting. Existing SMs have disadvantages in that they are highly affected by noisy data, which significantly affects their feature information extraction capability. The generated error gets amplified during forward propagation, thus interfering with the parameter’s optimization. The proposed STMD_SBiGRU has the advantage of capturing the maximum variance in the dataset by using various MD methods, as well as reducing abnormalities by applying various smoothing factors. This dual innovation of integrating MD and smoothing facilitates the effective distribution of parameters across multiple stacked layers and directions in a proposed model, thus avoiding complexity and overfitting problems of conventional SMs while improving network generalization performance. The extensive experimental work demonstrates that STMD_SBiGRU can forecast MDT_RP with better performance and is highly robust to noisy data compared to other data-driven methods.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 10","pages":"7215-7227"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100435","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}

These new problem features significantly increase the complexity of solving, as several operations requiring multiple workers can lead to worker competition, causing delays in other operations that depend on the same workers. Previous studies focused on either operation decomposition or worker transfer but did not address the issue of worker competition. To tackle this challenging optimization problem, we propose a knowledge-guided hierarchical evolutionary algorithm (KHEA) with multiview cooperative neighborhood search. The key contributions of this work are as follows: 1) a hierarchical solving framework is proposed to reduce the solving difficulty. This problem is decomposed into three levels. The first level ignores the worker assignment and the second level starts optimizing it. The final level then refines the global solution; 2) a knowledge-guided crossover operator with a feedback schema is designed to improve the efficiency of crossover operations; and 3) a multiview cooperative neighborhood search strategy is proposed to reduce the idle time caused by worker competition. This involves designing a new disjunctive graph that accounts for worker competition to identify the critical path. The information from both machine-view and worker-view Gantt charts is cooperatively utilized to minimize idle time. Our method, KHEA, was tested on two benchmarks across 28 instances and 16 large-scale instances, with equal running time for comparisons. Compared to state-of-the-arts, KHEA obtains significant superiority.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 10","pages":"7259-7272"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100503","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}

Second, a search space tightening strategy is proposed to strengthen the local exploitation capacity by identifying promising local search spaces. Third, a switching strategy is proposed to manage the global and local surrogate-assisted searches, aiming to balance exploration and exploitation capacities.
