Download or read book Emergent Behavior Detection and Task Coordination for Multiagent Systems written by Jing Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses problems in the modeling, detection, and control of emergent behaviors and task coordination in multiagent systems. It presents a unified solution to such problems in terms of distributed estimation, distributed control, and optimization of interaction topologies and dynamics. Four aspects of the technical solutions in the book are presented: First, the impact of interaction dynamics on the convergence conditions related to interaction topologies is discussed, utilizing a discontinuous cooperative control algorithm of updated design. Second, distributed least-squares and Kalman filtering algorithms for agents with limited interactions are elaborated upon. Third, a general framework of distributed nonlinear control is established, and distributed adaptive control for nonlinear systems with more general uncertainties is presented. Based on the proposed framework, a distributed nonlinear controller is designed to deal with task coordination of robotic systems with nonholonomic constraints. Finally, the problem of optimal multiagent task coordination is addressed and solutions based on approximate dynamic programming and approximate distributed gradient estimation are presented. Emergent Behavior Detection and Task Coordination for Multiagent Systems is of interest to practicing engineers in areas such as robotics and cyber-physical systems, researchers in the field of systems, controls, and robotics, and senior undergraduate and graduate students.

Download or read book Machine Learning Methods for Behaviour Analysis and Anomaly Detection in Video written by Olga Isupova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes machine learning methods for understanding scenes via behaviour analysis and online anomaly detection in video. The book introduces novel Bayesian topic models for detection of events that are different from typical activities and a novel framework for change point detection for identifying sudden behavioural changes. Behaviour analysis and anomaly detection are key components of intelligent vision systems. Anomaly detection can be considered from two perspectives: abnormal events can be defined as those that violate typical activities or as a sudden change in behaviour. Topic modelling and change-point detection methodologies, respectively, are employed to achieve these objectives. The thesis starts with the development of learning algorithms for a dynamic topic model, which extract topics that represent typical activities of a scene. These typical activities are used in a normality measure in anomaly detection decision-making. The book also proposes a novel anomaly localisation procedure. In the first topic model presented, a number of topics should be specified in advance. A novel dynamic nonparametric hierarchical Dirichlet process topic model is then developed where the number of topics is determined from data. Batch and online inference algorithms are developed. The latter part of the thesis considers behaviour analysis and anomaly detection within the change-point detection methodology. A novel general framework for change-point detection is introduced. Gaussian process time series data is considered. Statistical hypothesis tests are proposed for both offline and online data processing and multiple change point detection are proposed and theoretical properties of the tests are derived. The thesis is accompanied by open-source toolboxes that can be used by researchers and engineers.

Download or read book Learning Analytics written by Gwo-Jen Hwang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning analytics is one of the most important research issues in the field of educational technology. By analyzing logs and records in educational databases and systems, it can provide useful information to teachers, learners, and decision makers – information which they can use to improve teaching strategies, learning performances, and educational policies. However, it is a great challenge for most researchers to efficiently analyze educational data in a meaningful way. This book presents various learning analytics approaches and applications, including the process of determining the coding scheme, analyzing the collected data, and interpreting the findings. This book was originally published as a special issue of Interactive Learning Environments.

Book excerpt: Health technologies for personalized medicine have become important enablers for monitoring and treatment in both inpatient and outpatient care. The benefits of these technologies lead not only to improvements in medical services quality for all stakeholders, but also to new healthcare business models, promising a better containment of healthcare costs. This book presents the proceedings of the 2013 pHealth Conference, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in June 2013. The pHealth conferences have established themselves as the leading international conference series on wearable or implantable micro and nanotechnologies for personalized medicine and health service provision. pHealth 2013 proceeds in bringing together a dynamic emerging professional community from Europe and beyond. The keynotes, invited speeches and oral presentations in this book address these wearable technologies, and also other topics such as health games, terminologies and ontologies, medical decision support, monitoring of environmental and living conditions, as well as social and ethical issues. We are at the beginning of what promises to be revolutionary change in healthcare offering significant opportunities for both patients and healthcare providers. This book will therefore be of interest to the entire healthcare industry.
