Typical image aesthetics assessment (IAA) is modeled for the generic aesthetics perceived by an “average” user. However, such generic aesthetics models neglect the fact that users’ aesthetic preferences vary significantly depending…

One-way-broadcast-based flooding time synchronization algorithms are commonly used in wireless-sensor networks (WSNs). However, the packet delay and clock drift pose a challenge to accuracy, as they entail serious by-hop error accumulation problems in …
In this article, a novel disturbance observer-based adaptive neural control (ANC) scheme is proposed for full-state-constrained pure-feedback nonlinear systems using a new system transformation method. A nonlinear transformation function in a uniformed…
This article investigates the problem of secure state estimation for continuous-time linear systems in the presence of sparse sensor attacks. Compared with the existing results, the attacked sensor set can be changed by adversaries against secure estim…
The gradient learning descent method is the main workhorse of training tasks in artificial intelligence and machine-learning research. Current theoretical studies of gradient descent only use the continuous domains, which is unreal since electronic com…
This article proposes a distributed optimization design to compute continuous-time algebraic Riccati inequalities (ARIs), where the information of matrices is distributed among agents. We propose a design procedure to tackle the nonlinearity, the inequ…
This article introduces a new class of memristor neural networks (NNs) for solving, in real-time, quadratic programming (QP) and linear programming (LP) problems. The networks, which are called memristor programming NNs (MPNNs), use a set of filamentar…
In this article, a fuzzy floating centroids method (FFCM) is proposed, which uses a fuzzy strategy and the concept of floating centroids to enhance the performance of the neural-network classifier. The decision boundaries in the traditional floating ce…
While saliency detection on static images has been widely studied, the research on video saliency detection is still in an early stage and requires more efforts due to the challenge to bring both local and global consistency of salient objects into ful…
