Currently, CPG circuits capable of efficient online programming are rarely found in the literature. To address this issue, this article proposes a memristive control circuit based on CPG. First, an online amplification module is designed to adjust the positive and negative amplification coefficients. On the basis of this structure, a CPG unit circuit controlling a joint is proposed. According to the topology of CPG network model, a CPG network circuit composed of multiple units is devised. This network can coordinate multiple joints to produce a gait. In this article, the circuit is applied to generate the activity pattern of fish swimming. PSPICE simulation results demonstrate that four units can realize the basic swimming patterns of a robot fish. Through memristor programming, the circuit can achieve smooth online switching of robot fish swimming patterns. Moreover, hardware implementation proves the practicality of the circuit.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"17 2","pages":"233-246"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140594171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Performing a task often requires the manipulator to follow specific trajectories while avoiding surrounding obstacles. Different from most existing obstacle-avoidance (OA) schemes that rely on the kinematic model of redundant manipulators, in this article, we propose a new data-driven obstacle-avoidance (DDOA) scheme for the collision-free tracking control of redundant manipulators. The OA task is formulated as a quadratic programming problem with inequality constraints. Then, the objectives of obstacle avoidance and tracking control are unitedly transformed into a computation problem of solving a system including three recurrent neural networks. With the Jacobian estimators designed based on zeroing neural networks, the manipulator Jacobian and critical-point Jacobian can be estimated in a data-driven way without knowing the kinematic model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through extensive simulations and experiments.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 5","pages":"1861-1871"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140594184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attention reveals the cognitive or perceptual variation in ASD and can serve as a biomarker to assist diagnosis and intervention. The development of machine learning methods for attention-based ASD screening shows promises, yet it has been limited by the need for high-precision eye trackers, the scope of stimuli, and black-box neural networks, making it impractical for real-life clinical scenarios. This study proposes an interpretable and generalizable framework for quantifying atypical attention in people with ASD. Our framework utilizes photos taken by participants with standard cameras to enable practical and flexible deployment in resource-constrained regions. With an emphasis on interpretability and trustworthiness, our method automates human-like diagnostic reasoning, associates photos with semantically plausible attention patterns, and provides clinical evidence to support ASD experts. We further evaluate models on both in-domain and out-of-domain data and demonstrate that our approach accurately classifies individuals with ASD and generalizes across different domains. The proposed method offers an innovative, reliable, and cost-effective tool to assist the diagnostic procedure, which can be an important effort toward transforming clinical research in ASD screening with artificial intelligence systems.

Recently, memory-based methods have received significant attention owing to their substantial performance enhancements. However, these approaches rely on a fixed global memory strategy, which poses a challenge to segmentation accuracy and speed in the context of longer videos. To alleviate this limitation, we propose a novel semisupervised VOS model, founded on the principles of the adaptive memory network. Our proposed model adaptively extracts object features by focusing on the object area while effectively filtering out extraneous background noise. An identification mechanism is also thoughtfully applied to discern each object in multiobject scenarios. To further reduce storage consumption without compromising the saliency of object information, the outdated features residing in the memory pool are compressed into salient features through the employment of a self-attention mechanism. Furthermore, we introduce a local matching module, specifically devised to refine object features by fusing the contextual information from historical frames. We demonstrate the efficiency of our approach through experiments, substantially augmenting both the speed and precision of segmentation for long-term videos, while maintaining comparable performance for short videos.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 5","pages":"1789-1802"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140593831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most existing NDs detection methods are disease-specific, which limits an algorithm's cross-disease applicability. A single diagnostic platform can save time and money over multiple diagnostic systems. There is currently no unified standard platform for diagnosing different types of NDs utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) signal data. To address this issue, this study aims to develop a generic EEG neural Network (GENet) framework based on a convolutional neural network that can identify various NDs from EEG. The proposed framework consists of several parts: 1) preparing data using channel reduction, resampling, and segmentation for the GENet model; 2) designing and training the GENet model to carry out important features for the classification task; and 3) assessing the proposed model's performance using different signal segment lengths and several training batch sizes and also cross-validating using seven different EEG datasets of six distinct NDs namely schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In addition, this study also investigates whether the proposed GENet model can identify multiple NDs from EEG. The proposed model achieved much better performance for both binary and multiclass classification compared to state-of-the-art methods. In addition, the proposed model is validated using several ablation studies and layerwise feature visualization, which provide consistency and efficiency to the proposed model. The proposed GENet model will help technologists create standard software for detecting any of these NDs from EEG.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 5","pages":"1829-1842"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140593957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 this problem, the direction of this article is to perform the semantic segmentation task by using image-level categorical annotation. Existing methods using image level annotation usually use class activation maps (CAMs) to find the location of the target object as the first step. By training a classifier, the presence of objects in the image can be searched effectively. However, CAMs appear that as follows: 1) objects are excessively focused on specific regions, capturing only the most prominent and critical areas and 2) it is easy to misinterpret the frequently occurring background regions, the foreground and background are confused. This article introduces cross language image matching based on out-of-distribution data and convolutional block attention module (CLODA), the concept of double branching in the cross language image matching framework, and adds a convolutional attention module to the attention branch to solve the problem of excess focus on objects in the CAMs. Importing out-of-distribution data on out of distribution branches helps classification networks improve misinterpretation of areas of focus.
