An agent-driven semantical identifier using radial basis neural networks and reinforcement learning
Due to the huge availability of documents in digital form, and the deception
possibility raise bound to the essence of digital documents and the way they
are spread, the authorship attribution problem has constantly increased its
relevance. Nowadays, authorship attribution,for both information retrieval and
analysis, has gained great importance in the context of security, trust and
copyright preservation. This work proposes an innovative multi-agent driven
machine learning technique that has been developed for authorship attribution.
By means of a preprocessing for word-grouping and time-period related analysis
of the common lexicon, we determine a bias reference level for the recurrence
frequency of the words within analysed texts, and then train a Radial Basis
Neural Networks (RBPNN)-based classifier to identify the correct author. The
main advantage of the proposed approach lies in the generality of the semantic
analysis, which can be applied to different contexts and lexical domains,
without requiring any modification. Moreover, the proposed system is able to
incorporate an external input, meant to tune the classifier, and then
self-adjust by means of continuous learning reinforcement.Comment: Published on: Proceedings of the XV Workshop "Dagli Oggetti agli

Control and identification of non-linear systems using neural networks and reinforcement learning
Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de BrasÃlia, Faculdade de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica, 2018.Este trabalho propõe um contolador adaptativo utilizando redes neuras e aprendizado por reforço para lidar com não-linearidades e variância no tempo. Para a realização de testes, um sistema de nÃvel de lÃquidos de quarta ordem foi escolhido por apresentar uma gama de constantes de tempo e por possibilitar a mudança de parâmetros. O sistema foi identificado com redes neurais para prever estados futuros com o objetivo de compensar o atraso e melhorar a performance do controlador. Diversos testes foram realizados com diversas redes neurais para decidir qual rede neural seria utilizada para cada tarefa pertinente ao controlador. Os parâmetros do controlador foram ajustados e testados para que o controlador pudesse alcançar parâmetros arbitrários de performance. O controlador foi testado e comparado com o PI tradicional para validação e mostrou caracteristicas adaptativas e melhoria de performance ao longo do tempo, além disso, o controlador desenvolvido não necessita de informação prévia do sistema.Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAP-DF).This work presents a proposal of an adaptive controller using reinforcement learning and neural networks in order to deal with non-linearities and time-variance. To test the controller a fourth-order fluid level system was chosen because of its great range of time constants and the possibility of varying the system parameters. System identification was performed to predict future states of the system, bypass delay and enhance the controller’s performance. Several tests with different neural networks were made in order to decide which network would be assigned to which task. Various parameters of the controller were tested and tuned to achieve a controller that satisfied arbitrary specifications. The controller was tested against a conventional PI controller used as reference and has shown adaptive features and improvement during execution. Also, the proposed controller needs no previous information on the system in order to be designed
Human Attention Assessment Using A Machine Learning Approach with GAN-based Data Augmentation Technique Trained Using a Custom Dataset
Human–robot interactions require the ability of the system to determine if the user is paying attention. However, to train such systems, massive amounts of data are required. In this study, we addressed the issue of data scarcity by constructing a large dataset (containing ~120,000 photographs) for the attention detection task. Then, by using this dataset, we established a powerful baseline system. In addition, we extended the proposed system by adding an auxiliary face detection module and introducing a unique GAN-based data augmentation technique. Experimental results revealed that the proposed system yields superior performance compared to baseline models and achieves an accuracy of 88% on the test set. Finally, we created a web application for testing the proposed model in real time
A Software Architecture Assisting Workflow Executions on Cloud Resources
An enterprise providing services handled by means of workflows needs to monitor and control their execution, gather usage data, determine priorities, and properly use computing cloud-related resources. This paper proposes a software architecture that connects unaware services to components handling workflow monitoring and management concerns. Moreover, the provided components enhance dependability of services while letting developers focus only on the business logic
Natural Language Processing: Emerging Neural Approaches and Applications
This Special Issue highlights the most recent research being carried out in the NLP field to discuss relative open issues, with a particular focus on both emerging approaches for language learning, understanding, production, and grounding interactively or autonomously from data in cognitive and neural systems, as well as on their potential or real applications in different domains

EG-ICE 2021 Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Engineering
The 28th EG-ICE International Workshop 2021 brings together international experts working at the interface between advanced computing and modern engineering challenges. Many engineering tasks require open-world resolutions to support multi-actor collaboration, coping with approximate models, providing effective engineer-computer interaction, search in multi-dimensional solution spaces, accommodating uncertainty, including specialist domain knowledge, performing sensor-data interpretation and dealing with incomplete knowledge. While results from computer science provide much initial support for resolution, adaptation is unavoidable and most importantly, feedback from addressing engineering challenges drives fundamental computer-science research. Competence and knowledge transfer goes both ways
Multi-Agent Systems
This Special Issue ""Multi-Agent Systems"" gathers original research articles reporting results on the steadily growing area of agent-oriented computing and multi-agent systems technologies. After more than 20 years of academic research on multi-agent systems (MASs), in fact, agent-oriented models and technologies have been promoted as the most suitable candidates for the design and development of distributed and intelligent applications in complex and dynamic environments. With respect to both their quality and range, the papers in this Special Issue already represent a meaningful sample of the most recent advancements in the field of agent-oriented models and technologies. In particular, the 17 contributions cover agent-based modeling and simulation, situated multi-agent systems, socio-technical multi-agent systems, and semantic technologies applied to multi-agent systems. In fact, it is surprising to witness how such a limited portion of MAS research already highlights the most relevant usage of agent-based models and technologies, as well as their most appreciated characteristics. We are thus confident that the readers of Applied Sciences will be able to appreciate the growing role that MASs will play in the design and development of the next generation of complex intelligent systems. This Special Issue has been converted into a yearly series, for which a new call for papers is already available at the Applied Sciences journal’s website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Multi-Agent_Systems_2019
