Recently, learning-based representation techniques have been well exploited for grayscale face image hallucination. For color images, the previous methods only handle the luminance component or each color channel individually, without considering the abundant correlations among different channels as well as the inherent geometrical structure of data manifold. In this article, we propose a learning-based model in quaternion space with graph representation for color face hallucination. Instead of the spatial domain, the color image is represented in the quaternion domain to preserve correlations among different color channels. Moreover, a quaternion graph is learned to smooth the quaternion feature space, which helps to not only stabilize the linear system but also enclose the inherent topology structure of quaternion patch manifold. Besides, considering that single low-resolution (LR) image patch can just provide limited informative information in representation, we propose to simultaneously encode the query smaller LR patch as well as a larger patch containing the surrounding pixels seated at the same position in the objective. The larger patch with rich patterns is used to compensate the lost information in the query LR patch, which further enhances the manifold consistency assumption between the LR and HR patch spaces. The experimental results demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed method in hallucinating color face images.Large-scale optimization has become a significant and challenging research topic in the evolutionary computation (EC) community. Although many improved EC algorithms have been proposed for large-scale optimization, the slow convergence in the huge search space and the trap into local optima among massive suboptima are still the challenges. Targeted to these two issues, this article proposes an adaptive granularity learning distributed particle swarm optimization (AGLDPSO) with the help of machine-learning techniques, including clustering analysis based on locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) and adaptive granularity control based on logistic regression (LR). In AGLDPSO, a master-slave multisubpopulation distributed model is adopted, where the entire population is divided into multiple subpopulations, and these subpopulations are co-evolved. Compared with other large-scale optimization algorithms with single population evolution or centralized mechanism, the multisubpopulation distributed co-evolution mechanism will fully exchange the evolutionary information among different subpopulations to further enhance the population diversity. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive granularity learning strategy (AGLS) based on LSH and LR. The AGLS is helpful to determine an appropriate subpopulation size to control the learning granularity of the distributed subpopulations in different evolutionary states to balance the exploration ability for escaping from massive suboptima and the exploitation ability for converging in the huge search space. The experimental results show that AGLDPSO performs better than or at least comparable with some other state-of-the-art large-scale optimization algorithms, even the winner of the competition on large-scale optimization, on all the 35 benchmark functions from both IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC2010) and IEEE CEC2013 large-scale optimization test suites.This article studies the problem of the optimal stealth attack strategy design for linear cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Virtual systems that reflect the attacker's target are constructed, and a linear attack model with varying gains is designed based on the virtual models. Unlike the existing optimal stealth attack strategies that are designed based on sufficient conditions, necessary and sufficient conditions are, respectively, established to achieve the optimal attack performance while maintaining stealth in virtue of the solvability of certain coupled recursive Riccati difference equations (RDEs). Under those conditions, an optimal stealth attack strategy is constructed by an offline algorithm. A simulation example is applied to verify the effectiveness of the presented technical scheme.In the recently published paper, a switching method has been proposed to deal with the time derivative of the membership functions and less conservative results can be obtained due to this method; however, this method is based on the assumption that the switching times are finite. In this article, this method is further studied and the average dwell-time (ADT) switching technique is applied to ensure the stability if there is no such assumption. In addition, an algorithm is proposed to find the switching controller gains. The final simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the developed new results.Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer has been identified as one of the ten most common causes of cancer deaths globally. UGI cancer screening is critical to improving the survival rate of UGI cancer patients. While many approaches to UGI cancer screening rely on single-modality data such as gastroscope imaging, limited studies have been dedicated to UGI cancer screening exploiting multisource and multimodal medical data, which could potentially lead to improved screening results. In this paper, we propose semantic-level cancer-screening network (SCNET), a framework for UGI cancer screening based on semantic-level multimodal upper gastrointestinal data fusion. Specifically, the proposed SCNET consists of a gastrointestinal image recognition flow and a textual medical record processing flow. High-level features of upper gastrointestinal data are extracted by identifying effective feature channels according to the correlation between the textual features and the spatial structure of the image features. The final screening results are obtained after the data fusion step. The experimental results show that the improvement of our approach over the state-of-the-art ones reached 4.01% in average. The source code of SCNET is available at https//github.com/netflymachine/SCNET.Depression is the leading cause of disability, often undiagnosed, and one of the most treatable mood disorders. As such, unobtrusively diagnosing depression is important. Many studies are starting to utilize machine learning for depression sensing from social media and Smartphone data to replace the survey instruments currently employed to screen for depression. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/sch-527123.html In this study, we compare the ability of a privately versus a publicly available modality to screen for depression. Specifically, we leverage between two weeks and a year of text messages and tweets to predict scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, a prevalent depression screening instrument. This is the first study to leverage the retrospectively-harvested crowd-sourced texts and tweets within the combined Moodable and EMU datasets. Our approach involves comprehensive feature engineering, feature selection, and machine learning. Our 245 features encompass word category frequencies, part of speech tag frequencies, sentiment, and volume. The best model is Logistic Regression built on the top ten features from two weeks of text data.
