Wind Power Forecasting Methods Based on Deep Learning: A Survey
Accurate wind power forecasting in wind farm can effectively reduce the enormous impact on grid operation safety when high permeability intermittent power supply is connected to the power grid. Aiming to provide reference strategies for relevant researchers as well as practical applications, this paper attempts to provide the literature investigation and methods analysis of deep learning, enforcement learning and transfer learning in wind speed and wind power forecasting modeling. Usually, wind speed and wind power forecasting around a wind farm requires the calculation of the next moment of the definite state, which is usually achieved based on the state of the atmosphere that encompasses nearby atmospheric pressure, temperature, roughness, and obstacles. As an effective method of high-dimensional feature extraction, deep neural network can theoretically deal with arbitrary nonlinear transformation through proper structural design, such as adding noise to outputs, evolutionary learning used to optimize hidden layer weights, optimize the objective function so as to save information that can improve the output accuracy while filter out the irrelevant or less affected information for forecasting. The establishment of high-precision wind speed and wind power forecasting models is always a challenge due to the randomness, instantaneity and seasonal characteristics
Learning Synergies between Pushing and Grasping with Self-supervised Deep Reinforcement Learning
Skilled robotic manipulation benefits from complex synergies between
non-prehensile (e.g. pushing) and prehensile (e.g. grasping) actions: pushing
can help rearrange cluttered objects to make space for arms and fingers;
likewise, grasping can help displace objects to make pushing movements more
precise and collision-free. In this work, we demonstrate that it is possible to
discover and learn these synergies from scratch through model-free deep
reinforcement learning. Our method involves training two fully convolutional
networks that map from visual observations to actions: one infers the utility
of pushes for a dense pixel-wise sampling of end effector orientations and
locations, while the other does the same for grasping. Both networks are
trained jointly in a Q-learning framework and are entirely self-supervised by
trial and error, where rewards are provided from successful grasps. In this
way, our policy learns pushing motions that enable future grasps, while
learning grasps that can leverage past pushes. During picking experiments in
both simulation and real-world scenarios, we find that our system quickly
learns complex behaviors amid challenging cases of clutter, and achieves better
grasping success rates and picking efficiencies than baseline alternatives
after only a few hours of training. We further demonstrate that our method is
capable of generalizing to novel objects. Qualitative results (videos), code,
pre-trained models, and simulation environments are available at

Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
