Optimal control of a Tuberculosis model with state and control delays by Cristiana J. Silva, Helmut Maurer, Delfim F. M. Torres

“…Although it is well-known that there is a delay between two to eight weeks between TB infection and reaction of body's immune system to tuberculin, delays for the active infected to be detected and treated, and delays on the treatment of persistent latent individuals due to clinical and patient reasons, which clearly justifies the introduction of time delays on state and control measures, our work seems to be the first to consider such time-delays for TB and apply time-delay optimal control to carry out the optimality analysis.…”

Corresponding keypoint constrained sparse representation three‐dimensional ear recognition via one sample per person by Qinping Zhu, Zhichun Mu, Li Yuan

“…Abstract When only one sample per person (OSPP) is registered in the gallery, it is difficult for ear recognition methods to sufficiently and effectively reduce the search range of the matching features, thus resulting in low computational efficiency and mismatch problems. A 3D ear biometric system using OSPP is proposed to solve this problem. …”

Value-difference learning based mMTC devices access algorithm in multi-cell network by Xin LI, Jun SUN

“…In the massive machine type communication scenario of 5G, the access congestion problem of massive machine type communication devices (mMTCD) in multi-cell network is very important.A double deep Q network with value-difference based exploration (VDBE-DDQN) algorithm was proposed.The algorithm focused on the solution that could reduce the collision when a number of mMTCDs accessed to eNB in multi-cell network.The state transition process of the deep reinforcement learning algorithm was modeled as Markov decision process.Furthermore, the algorithm used a double deep Q network to fit the target state-action value function, and it employed an exploration strategy based on value-difference to adapt the change of the environment, which could take advantage of both current conditions and expected future needs.Moreover, each mMTCD updated the probability of exploration according to the difference between the current value function and the next value function estimated by the network, rather than using the same standard to select the best base eNB for the mMTCD.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the access success rate of the system.…”
