The conventional approach to predicting depression necessitates substantial collaboration between health care professionals and patients, leaving room for the influence of subjective factors. Consequently, it is imperative to develop a more efficient and accessible prediction methodology for depression. In recent years, numerous investigations have delved into depression prediction techniques, employing diverse data modalities and yielding notable advancements. Given the rapid progression of this domain, the present article comprehensively reviews major breakthroughs in depression prediction, encompassing multiple data modalities such as electrophysiological signals, brain imaging, audiovisual data, and text. By integrating depression prediction methods from various data modalities, it offers a comparative assessment of their advantages and limitations, providing a well-rounded perspective on how different modalities can complement each other for more accurate and holistic depression prediction. The survey begins by examining commonly used datasets, evaluation metrics, and methodological frameworks. For each data modality, it systematically analyzes traditional machine learning methods alongside the increasingly prevalent deep learning approaches, providing a comparative assessment of detection frameworks, feature representations, context modeling, and training strategies. Finally, the survey culminates with the identification of prospective avenues that warrant further exploration. It provides researchers with valuable insights and practical guidance to advance the field of depression prediction.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"12 7","pages":"1320-1349"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144536529","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}

Considering the elastic interaction force model, a mechanical trade-off always exists between the interaction force and position, which means that neither force nor path following can satisfy their desired demands completely. Based on this consideration, two irreconcilable control specifications, the force object function and the position track object function, are proposed, and a new multi-objective MPC scheme is then designed. At each sampling interval, the control action is chosen automatically among the set of Pareto optimal solutions with the Nash bargaining solution from the cooperative game theory. Furthermore, we set state and control constraints to consider physical limitations. The proposed controller's efficacy is demonstrated through simulations on a constrained interactive robot.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"12 7","pages":"1516-1518"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11062697","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144536524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to ensure the normal execution of the online learning algorithm, a stability criterion condition is created to obtain the initial admissible control policy by using an offline iterative method under the time-triggered control framework. Subsequently, a general triggering condition is designed based on the uniform ultimate boundedness of the controlled system. In order to determine a constant interval which can ensure the system stability, another triggering condition is introduced and the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system satisfying this condition is analyzed from the perspective of the input-to-state stability. The designed online hybrid ETC method not only further improves control efficiency, but also avoids the continuous judgment of the corresponding triggering condition. In addition, the event-based control law can approach the optimal control input within a finite approximation error. Finally, two experimental examples with physical background are conducted to indicate the present results.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"12 7","pages":"1464-1474"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144536560","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}

The control law is combined with the orientation functions and the barrier functions lumped in a recursive manner. It achieves output tracking with the preassigned rate, overshoot, and accuracy. In contrast with the existing solutions, it is effective for the nearly model-free case, with the requirement for information of neither the system nonlinearities nor their bounding functions of the plant, nor the bounds of the disturbances.

This vulnerability necessitates a heightened focus on developing resilient control mechanisms for CPSs. However, current observer-based active compensation resilient controllers exhibit poor performance against stealthy deception attacks (SDAs) due to the difficulty in accurately reconstructing system states because of the stealthy nature of these attacks. Moreover, some non-active compensation approaches are insufficient when there is a complete loss of actuator control authority. To address these issues, we introduce a novel learning-based passive resilient controller (LPRC). Our approach, unlike observer-based state reconstruction, shows enhanced effectiveness in countering SDAs. We developed a safety state set, represented by an ellipsoid, to ensure CPS stability under SDA conditions, maintaining system trajectories within this set. Additionally, by employing deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the LPRC acquires the capacity to adapt and diverse evolving attack strategies. To empirically substantiate our methodology, various attack methods were compared with current passive and active compensation resilient control methods to evaluate their performance.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"12 7","pages":"1368-1380"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144536562","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 data issues pose significant challenges to traditional system identification methods. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the emergent challenges and advances in system identification in the network era. It explores cutting-edge methodologies to address data issues such as data loss, outliers, noise and nonlinear system identification for complex systems. To tackle the data loss, the methods based on imputation and likelihood-based inference (e.g., expectation maximization) have been employed. For outliers and noise, methods like robust regression (e.g., least median of squares, least trimmed squares) and low-rank matrix decomposition show progress in maintaining data integrity. Nonlinear system identification has advanced through kernel-based methods and neural networks, which can model complex data patterns.
