当人类的学习者比平常更慢或更快时，人类的学习者可以轻松理解语音或旋律。尽管深度卷积神经网络（CNN）在提取时间序列的信息方面非常有力，但它们需要明确的培训才能推广到不同的时间尺度。本文提出了一个深入的CNN，其中包含了受神经科学最新发现启发的时间表示。在哺乳动物的大脑中，时间由具有时间接受场的神经元群体表示。至关重要的是，接收场的峰形成了几何序列，因此人口在日志时间内代码一组时间基础函数。因为最近的记忆是对数时间的函数，因此重新缩放输入导致内存翻译。比例不变的时间历史卷积网络（SITHCON）在该对数分布的时间内存上构建了卷积层。 Max-Pool操作导致一个网络，该网络是时间模量边缘效应的重新缩放。我们将SITHCON的性能与时间卷积网络（TCN）进行比较。尽管两个网络都可以在单变量和多变量时间序列F（t）上学习分类和回归问题，但仅Sithcon概括为recalings f（at）。这一属性受到当代神经科学的发现的启发，并且与认知心理学的发现一致，可以使网络能够以更少的培训示例，减少体重更少，并且更强大地从样本数据中概括。

Granular jamming has recently become popular in soft robotics with widespread applications including industrial gripping, surgical robotics and haptics. Previous work has investigated the use of various techniques that exploit the nature of granular physics to improve jamming performance, however this is generally underrepresented in the literature compared to its potential impact. We present the first research that exploits vibration-based fluidisation actively (e.g., during a grip) to elicit bespoke performance from granular jamming grippers. We augment a conventional universal gripper with a computer-controllled audio exciter, which is attached to the gripper via a 3D printed mount, and build an automated test rig to allow large-scale data collection to explore the effects of active vibration. We show that vibration in soft jamming grippers can improve holding strength. In a series of studies, we show that frequency and amplitude of the waveforms are key determinants to performance, and that jamming performance is also dependent on temporal properties of the induced waveform. We hope to encourage further study focused on active vibrational control of jamming in soft robotics to improve performance and increase diversity of potential applications.

This paper describes important considerations and challenges associated with online reinforcement-learning based waveform selection for target identification in frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) automotive radar systems. We present a novel learning approach based on satisficing Thompson sampling, which quickly identifies a waveform expected to yield satisfactory classification performance. We demonstrate through measurement-level simulations that effective waveform selection strategies can be quickly learned, even in cases where the radar must select from a large catalog of candidate waveforms. The radar learns to adaptively select a bandwidth for appropriate resolution and a slow-time unimodular code for interference mitigation in the scene of interest by optimizing an expected classification metric.

迄今为止，迄今为止，众所周知，对广泛的互补临床相关任务进行了全面比较了医学图像登记方法。这限制了采用研究进展，以防止竞争方法的公平基准。在过去五年内已经探讨了许多新的学习方法，但优化，建筑或度量战略的问题非常适合仍然是开放的。 Learn2reg涵盖了广泛的解剖学：脑，腹部和胸部，方式：超声波，CT，MRI，群体：患者内部和患者内部和监督水平。我们为3D注册的培训和验证建立了较低的入境障碍，这帮助我们从20多个独特的团队中汇编了65多个单独的方法提交的结果。我们的互补度量集，包括稳健性，准确性，合理性和速度，使得能够独特地位了解当前的医学图像登记现状。进一步分析监督问题的转移性，偏见和重要性，主要是基于深度学习的方法的优越性，并将新的研究方向开放到利用GPU加速的常规优化的混合方法。

放射造影通常用于探测动态系统中的复杂，不断发展的密度字段，以便在潜在的物理学中实现进入洞察力。该技术已用于许多领域，包括材料科学，休克物理，惯性监禁融合和其他国家安全应用。然而，在许多这些应用中，噪声，散射，复杂光束动力学等的并发症防止了密度的重建足以足以识别具有足够置信度的底层物理。因此，来自静态/动态射线照相的密度重建通常限于在许多这些应用中识别诸如裂缝和空隙的不连续特征。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种从基本上重建密度的基本上新的射线照片序列的密度。仅使用射线照相识别的稳健特征，我们将它们与使用机器学习方法的底层流体动力方程组合，即条件生成对冲网络（CGAN），以从射线照片的动态序列确定密度字段。接下来，我们寻求通过参数估计和投影的过程进一步提高ML的密度重建的流体动力学一致性，并进入流体动力歧管。在这种情况下，我们注意到，训练数据给出的流体动力歧管在被认为的参数空间中给出的测试数据是用于预测的稳定性的诊断，并用于增强培训数据库，期望后者将进一步降低未来的密度重建错误。最后，我们展示了这种方法优于传统的射线照相重建在捕获允许的流体动力学路径中的能力，即使存在相对少量的散射。

粒状干扰在软机器人中的应用是最近和有希望的新技术，为创建更高的性能机器人设备提供令人兴奋的可能性。通过在含有颗粒物质内的膜内的真空压力施加真空压力来实现粒状干扰，并且从设计角度来看特别是有趣的，因为可以利用设计参数的多种设计参数来诱导各种有用的行为。迄今为止，已经研究了变量（如晶粒形状和尺寸）以及膜材料的效果作为诱导定制抓握性能的手段，但是由于其特定地，尚未研究其他主要贡献因素，膜形态膜形态学两种准确建模和制造的复杂性。该研究介绍了优化颗粒干扰夹具的膜形态，组合多材料3D打印和进化算法来搜索Materio中的各种形态设计空间的研究。在单个运行中打印整个几代，并测试夹持器保持力并用作健身测量。我们的方法是相对可扩展的，规避需要建模，并保证所考虑的夹具的真实表现。结果表明，膜形态是夹具性能的关键决定因素。可以看到常见的高性能设计以优化粒状夹持器产生抓地力的所有三种主要识别机制，与标准夹持形态有显着不同，并概括跨越一系列测试对象。

Making histopathology image classifiers robust to a wide range of real-world variability is a challenging task. Here, we describe a candidate deep learning solution for the Mitosis Domain Generalization Challenge 2022 (MIDOG) to address the problem of generalization for mitosis detection in images of hematoxylin-eosin-stained histology slides under high variability (scanner, tissue type and species variability). Our approach consists in training a rotation-invariant deep learning model using aggressive data augmentation with a training set enriched with hard negative examples and automatically selected negative examples from the unlabeled part of the challenge dataset. To optimize the performance of our models, we investigated a hard negative mining regime search procedure that lead us to train our best model using a subset of image patches representing 19.6% of our training partition of the challenge dataset. Our candidate model ensemble achieved a F1-score of .697 on the final test set after automated evaluation on the challenge platform, achieving the third best overall score in the MIDOG 2022 Challenge.

Supervised Question Answering systems (QA systems) rely on domain-specific human-labeled data for training. Unsupervised QA systems generate their own question-answer training pairs, typically using secondary knowledge sources to achieve this outcome. Our approach (called PIE-QG) uses Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) to generate synthetic training questions from paraphrased passages and uses the question-answer pairs as training data for a language model for a state-of-the-art QA system based on BERT. Triples in the form of <subject, predicate, object> are extracted from each passage, and questions are formed with subjects (or objects) and predicates while objects (or subjects) are considered as answers. Experimenting on five extractive QA datasets demonstrates that our technique achieves on-par performance with existing state-of-the-art QA systems with the benefit of being trained on an order of magnitude fewer documents and without any recourse to external reference data sources.

While the capabilities of autonomous systems have been steadily improving in recent years, these systems still struggle to rapidly explore previously unknown environments without the aid of GPS-assisted navigation. The DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge aimed to fast track the development of autonomous exploration systems by evaluating their performance in real-world underground search-and-rescue scenarios. Subterranean environments present a plethora of challenges for robotic systems, such as limited communications, complex topology, visually-degraded sensing, and harsh terrain. The presented solution enables long-term autonomy with minimal human supervision by combining a powerful and independent single-agent autonomy stack, with higher level mission management operating over a flexible mesh network. The autonomy suite deployed on quadruped and wheeled robots was fully independent, freeing the human supervision to loosely supervise the mission and make high-impact strategic decisions. We also discuss lessons learned from fielding our system at the SubT Final Event, relating to vehicle versatility, system adaptability, and re-configurable communications.

While the brain connectivity network can inform the understanding and diagnosis of developmental dyslexia, its cause-effect relationships have not yet enough been examined. Employing electroencephalography signals and band-limited white noise stimulus at 4.8 Hz (prosodic-syllabic frequency), we measure the phase Granger causalities among channels to identify differences between dyslexic learners and controls, thereby proposing a method to calculate directional connectivity. As causal relationships run in both directions, we explore three scenarios, namely channels' activity as sources, as sinks, and in total. Our proposed method can be used for both classification and exploratory analysis. In all scenarios, we find confirmation of the established right-lateralized Theta sampling network anomaly, in line with the temporal sampling framework's assumption of oscillatory differences in the Theta and Gamma bands. Further, we show that this anomaly primarily occurs in the causal relationships of channels acting as sinks, where it is significantly more pronounced than when only total activity is observed. In the sink scenario, our classifier obtains 0.84 and 0.88 accuracy and 0.87 and 0.93 AUC for the Theta and Gamma bands, respectively.
