跟踪控制一直是机器人技术的重要研究主题。本文为基于生物启发的神经动力学模型提供了一种新型的混合控制策略(UUV)。首先开发了增强的反向运动控制策略,以避免急速速度跳跃,并提供相对于常规方法的光滑速度命令。然后,提出了一种新颖的滑动模式控制,该控制能够提供平滑而连续的扭矩命令,没有颤动。在比较研究中,提出的合并混合控制策略确保了控制信号的平滑度,这在现实世界中至关重要,尤其是对于需要在复杂的水下环境中运行的无人水下车辆。

Intelligently extracting and linking complex scientific information from unstructured text is a challenging endeavor particularly for those inexperienced with natural language processing. Here, we present a simple sequence-to-sequence approach to joint named entity recognition and relation extraction for complex hierarchical information in scientific text. The approach leverages a pre-trained large language model (LLM), GPT-3, that is fine-tuned on approximately 500 pairs of prompts (inputs) and completions (outputs). Information is extracted either from single sentences or across sentences in abstracts/passages, and the output can be returned as simple English sentences or a more structured format, such as a list of JSON objects. We demonstrate that LLMs trained in this way are capable of accurately extracting useful records of complex scientific knowledge for three representative tasks in materials chemistry: linking dopants with their host materials, cataloging metal-organic frameworks, and general chemistry/phase/morphology/application information extraction. This approach represents a simple, accessible, and highly-flexible route to obtaining large databases of structured knowledge extracted from unstructured text. An online demo is available at http://www.matscholar.com/info-extraction.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art optimal controller for quadruped locomotion. The robot dynamics is represented using a single rigid body (SRB) model. A linear time-varying model predictive controller (LTV MPC) is proposed by using linearization schemes. Simulation results show that the LTV MPC can execute various gaits, such as trot and crawl, and is capable of tracking desired reference trajectories even under unknown external disturbances. The LTV MPC is implemented as a quadratic program using qpOASES through the CasADi interface at 50 Hz. The proposed MPC can reach up to 1 m/s top speed with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 executing a trot gait. The implementation is available at https:// github.com/AndrewZheng-1011/Quad_ConvexMPC

Two contrasting algorithmic paradigms for constraint satisfaction problems are successive local explorations of neighboring configurations versus producing new configurations using global information about the problem (e.g. approximating the marginals of the probability distribution which is uniform over satisfying configurations). This paper presents new algorithms for the latter framework, ultimately producing estimates for satisfying configurations using methods from Boolean Fourier analysis. The approach is broadly inspired by the quantum amplitude amplification algorithm in that it maximally increases the amplitude of the approximation function over satisfying configurations given sequential refinements. We demonstrate that satisfying solutions may be retrieved in a process analogous to quantum measurement made efficient by sparsity in the Fourier domain, and present a complete solver construction using this novel approximation. Freedom in the refinement strategy invites further opportunities to design solvers in an evolutionary computing framework. Results demonstrate competitive performance against local solvers for the Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem, encouraging future work in understanding the connections between Boolean Fourier analysis and constraint satisfaction.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a tremendous impact across most areas of science. Applications of AI in healthcare have the potential to improve our ability to detect, diagnose, prognose, and intervene on human disease. For AI models to be used clinically, they need to be made safe, reproducible and robust, and the underlying software framework must be aware of the particularities (e.g. geometry, physiology, physics) of medical data being processed. This work introduces MONAI, a freely available, community-supported, and consortium-led PyTorch-based framework for deep learning in healthcare. MONAI extends PyTorch to support medical data, with a particular focus on imaging, and provide purpose-specific AI model architectures, transformations and utilities that streamline the development and deployment of medical AI models. MONAI follows best practices for software-development, providing an easy-to-use, robust, well-documented, and well-tested software framework. MONAI preserves the simple, additive, and compositional approach of its underlying PyTorch libraries. MONAI is being used by and receiving contributions from research, clinical and industrial teams from around the world, who are pursuing applications spanning nearly every aspect of healthcare.

对抗贴片是旨在欺骗其他表现良好的基于​​神经网络的计算机视觉模型的图像。尽管这些攻击最初是通过数字方式构想和研究的,但由于图像的原始像素值受到干扰,但最近的工作表明,这些攻击可以成功地转移到物理世界中。可以通过打印补丁并将其添加到新捕获的图像或视频素材的场景中来实现。在这项工作中,我们进一步测试了在更具挑战性的条件下物理世界中对抗斑块攻击的功效。我们考虑通过空中或卫星摄像机获得的高架图像训练的对象检测模型,并测试插入沙漠环境场景中的物理对抗斑块。我们的主要发现是,在这些条件下成功实施对抗贴片攻击要比在先前考虑的条件下更难。这对AI安全具有重要意义,因为可能被夸大了对抗性例子所带来的现实世界威胁。

尽管电子健康记录是生物医学研究的丰富数据来源,但这些系统并未在医疗环境中统一地实施,并且由于医疗保健碎片化和孤立的电子健康记录之间缺乏互操作性,可能缺少大量数据。考虑到缺少数据的案例的删除可能会在随后的分析中引起严重的偏见,因此,一些作者更喜欢采用多重插补策略来恢复缺失的信息。不幸的是,尽管几项文献作品已经通过使用现在可以自由研究的任何不同的多个归档算法记录了有希望的结果,但尚无共识,MI算法效果最好。除了选择MI策略之外,归纳算法及其应用程序设置的选择也至关重要且具有挑战性。在本文中,受鲁宾和范布伦的开创性作品的启发,我们提出了一个方法学框架,可以应用于评估和比较多种多个插补技术,旨在选择用于计算临床研究工作中最有效的推断。我们的框架已被应用于验证和扩展较大的队列,这是我们在先前的文献研究中提出的结果,我们在其中评估了关键患者的描述符和Covid-19的影响在2型糖尿病患者中的影响,其数据为2型糖尿病,其数据为2型糖尿病由国家共同队列合作飞地提供。

语言模型既展示了定量的改进,又展示了新的定性功能,随着规模的增加。尽管它们具有潜在的变革性影响,但这些新能力的特征却很差。为了为未来的研究提供信息,为破坏性的新模型能力做准备,并改善社会有害的效果,至关重要的是,我们必须了解目前和近乎未来的能力和语言模型的局限性。为了应对这一挑战,我们介绍了超越模仿游戏基准(Big Bench)。 Big Bench目前由204个任务组成,由132家机构的442位作者贡献。任务主题是多样的,从语言学,儿童发展,数学,常识性推理,生物学,物理学,社会偏见,软件开发等等。 Big-Bench专注于被认为超出当前语言模型的功能的任务。我们评估了OpenAI的GPT型号,Google内部密集变压器体系结构和大型基础上的开关稀疏变压器的行为,跨越了数百万到数十亿个参数。此外,一个人类专家评估者团队执行了所有任务,以提供强大的基准。研究结果包括:模型性能和校准都随规模改善,但绝对的术语(以及与评估者的性能相比);在模型类中的性能非常相似,尽管带有稀疏性。逐渐和预测的任务通常涉及大量知识或记忆成分,而在临界规模上表现出“突破性”行为的任务通常涉及多个步骤或组成部分或脆性指标;社交偏见通常会随着含糊不清的环境而随着规模而增加,但这可以通过提示来改善。

深层生成模型已成为检测数据中任意异常的有前途的工具,并分配了手动标记的必要性。最近,自回旋变压器在医学成像中取得了最先进的性能。但是,这些模型仍然具有一些内在的弱点,例如需要将图像建模为1D序列,在采样过程中误差的积累以及与变压器相关的显着推理时间。去核扩散概率模型是一类非自动回旋生成模型,最近显示出可以在计算机视觉中产生出色的样品(超过生成的对抗网络),并实现与变压器具有竞争力同时具有快速推理时间的对数可能性。扩散模型可以应用于自动编码器学到的潜在表示,使其易于扩展,并适用于高维数据(例如医学图像)的出色候选者。在这里,我们提出了一种基于扩散模型的方法,以检测和分段脑成像中的异常。通过在健康数据上训练模型,然后探索其在马尔可夫链上的扩散和反向步骤,我们可以识别潜在空间中的异常区域,因此可以确定像素空间中的异常情况。我们的扩散模型与一系列具有2D CT和MRI数据的实验相比,具有竞争性能,涉及合成和实际病理病变,推理时间大大减少,从而使它们的用法在临床上可行。
