It is hypothesized that the attenuation of light is directly correlated with the camera-to-object distance, manifesting as variable degrees of image blur across different regions within underwater images. Specifically, regions in close proximity to the camera exhibit less pronounced blur compared to distant regions. Within the same object category, objects situated in clear regions share similar feature embeddings with their counterparts in blurred regions. This observation underscores the potential for leveraging objects in clear regions to aid in the detection of objects within blurred areas, a critical requirement for autonomous agents, such as autonomous underwater vehicles, engaged in continuous underwater object detection. Motivated by this insight, we introduce the spatiotemporal feature enhancement network (STFEN), a novel framework engineered to autonomously extract discriminative features from objects in clear regions. These features are then harnessed to enhance the representations of objects in blurred regions, operating across both spatial and temporal dimensions. Notably, the proposed STFEN seamlessly integrates into two-stage detectors, such as the faster region-based convolutional neural networks (Faster R-CNN) and feature pyramid networks (FPN). Extensive experimentation conducted on two benchmark underwater datasets, URPC 2018 and URPC 2019, conclusively demonstrates the efficacy of the STFEN framework. It delivers substantial enhancements in performance relative to baseline methods, yielding improvements in the mAP evaluation metric ranging from 3.7% to 5.0%.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 5","pages":"1814-1828"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140593967","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}
