Mainstream SR algorithms target on searching for the optimal symbolic tree, but the increasing complexity of the tree structure often limits their performance. Inspired by neural networks, symbolic networks have emerged as a promising new paradigm. However, existing symbolic networks still face certain challenges: binary nonlinear operators { × , ÷} cannot be naturally extended to multivariate, training with fixed architecture often leads to higher complexity and overfitting. In this work, we propose a <strong>Uni</strong>fied <strong>Sym</strong>bolic <strong>Net</strong>work that unifies nonlinear binary operators into nested unary operators, thereby transforming them into multivariate operators. The capability of the proposed UniSymNet is deduced from rigorous theoretical proof, resulting in lower complexity and stronger expressivity. Unlike the conventional neural network training, we design a bi-level optimization framework: the outer level pre-trains a Transformer with sparse label encoding scheme to guide UniSymNet structure selection, while the inner level employs objective-specific strategies to optimize network parameters. This allows for flexible adaptation of UniSymNet structures to different data, leading to reduced expression complexity. The UniSymNet is evaluated on low-dimensional Standard Benchmarks and high-dimensional SRBench, and shows excellent symbolic solution rate, high fitting accuracy, and relatively low expression complexity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49763,"journal":{"name":"Neural Networks","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 108615"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146108216","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}

Consequently, this paper explores the prescribed-time observer-based optimal consensus control problem for six-rotor UAVs with unified prescribed performance. A practical prescribed-time optimal control scheme is constructed through embedding the prescribed-time control method with a simplified reinforcement learning framework to realize the efficient resource allocation. Leveraging a prescribed-time adjustment function, the novel updating laws for actor and critic neural networks are developed, which guarantee that six-rotor UAVs reach a desired steady state within prescribed time. Moreover, an improved distributed prescribed-time observer is established, ensuring that each follower is able to precisely estimate the velocity and position information of the leader within prescribed time. Then, a series of nonlinear transformations and mappings is proposed, which cannot only satisfy diverse performance requirements under a unified control framework through only adjusting the design parameters a priori but also improve the user-friendliness of implementation and control design. Significantly, the global performance requirement simplifies verification process of initial constraints in traditional performance control methods. Furthermore, an adaptive prescribed-time filter is introduced to address the complexity explosion issue of the backstepping method on six-rotor UAVs, while ensuring the filter error converges within prescribed time.

However, the large output space and model scales in text generation require substantial noise, which severely degrades synthesis quality. In this paper, we transfer DP-based synthetic sample generation to DP-based sample discrimination. Specifically, we propose a DP-based DA framework with a large language model (LLM) and a DP-based discriminator for private-domain text generation. Our key idea is to (1) leverage LLMs to generate large-scale high-quality samples, (2) select synthesized samples fitting the private domain, and (3) align the label distribution with the private domain. To achieve this, we use knowledge distillation to construct a DP-based discriminator: teacher models, accessing private data, guide a student model to select samples under calibrated noise. A DP-based tutor further constrains the label distribution of synthesized samples with a low privacy budget. We theoretically analyze the privacy guarantees and empirically validate our method on three medical text classification datasets, showing that our DP-synthesized samples significantly outperform state-of-the-art DP fine-tuning baselines in utility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49763,"journal":{"name":"Neural Networks","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 108668"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146138106","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 address these challenges, we propose a voxel-based efficient neural implicit surface reconstruction approach using FLS, featuring three key innovations: 1) Replacing MLPs with voxel grids for scene representation, utilizing a signed distance function (SDF) voxel grid to model geometry and a feature voxel grid to capture appearance. 2) Introducing a hierarchical sampling strategy along the elevation arc to improve sampling efficiency. 3) Applying SDF Gaussian convolution to the SDF voxel grid, effectively reducing noise and surface roughness. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing unsupervised dense FLS reconstruction techniques.

In this study, we present a hierarchical cortico-cerebellar neural network model that investigates the neural mechanisms enabling motor control under incomplete or low-dimensional instructions. The evaluation results, measured by two complementary levels of evaluation metrics, demonstrate that the cortico-cerebellar model reduces dependency on external instruction without compromising trajectory smoothness. The model features a division of roles: the cortical network handles high-level action selection, while the cerebellar network executes motor commands by torque control, directly operating on a planar arm.
