Quantization Errors of fGn and fBm Signals
In this Letter, we show that under the assumption of high resolution, the
quantization errors of fGn and fBm signals with uniform quantizer can be
treated as uncorrelated white noises
Response to Comments on PCA Based Hurst Exponent Estimator for fBm Signals Under Disturbances
In this response, we try to give a repair to our previous proof for PCA Based
Hurst Exponent Estimator for fBm Signals by using orthogonal projection.
Moreover, we answer the question raised recently: If a centered Gaussian
process admits two series expansions on different Riesz bases, we may
possibly study the asymptotic behavior of one eigenvalue sequence from the
knowledge on the asymptotic behaviors of another.Comment: This is a response for a mistake in Li Li, Jianming Hu, Yudong Chen,

disturbances, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, vol. 57, no. 7, pp.

Existence and Completeness of Bounded Disturbance Observers: A Set-Membership Viewpoint
This paper investigates the boundedness of the Disturbance Observer (DO) for
linear discrete-time systems. In contrast to previous studies that focus on
analyzing and/or designing observer gains, our analysis and synthesis approach
is based on a set-membership viewpoint. From this viewpoint, a necessary and
sufficient existence condition of bounded DOs is first established, which can
be easily verified. Furthermore, a set-membership filter-based DO is developed,
and its completeness is proved; thus, our proposed DO is bounded if and only if
bounded DOs exist. We also prove that the proposed DO has the capability to
achieve the worst-case optimality, which can provide a benchmark for the design
of DOs. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to corroborate the
effectiveness of the theoretical results
Spikeformer: A Novel Architecture for Training High-Performance Low-Latency Spiking Neural Network
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have made great progress on both performance
and efficiency over the last few years,but their unique working pattern makes
it hard to train a high-performance low-latency SNN.Thus the development of
SNNs still lags behind traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs).To
compensate this gap,many extraordinary works have been
proposed.Nevertheless,these works are mainly based on the same kind of network
structure (i.e.CNN) and their performance is worse than their ANN
counterparts,which limits the applications of SNNs.To this end,we propose a
novel Transformer-based SNN,termed "Spikeformer",which outperforms its ANN
counterpart on both static dataset and neuromorphic dataset and may be an
alternative architecture to CNN for training high-performance SNNs.First,to
deal with the problem of "data hungry" and the unstable training period
exhibited in the vanilla model,we design the Convolutional Tokenizer (CT)
module,which improves the accuracy of the original model on DVS-Gesture by more
than 16%.Besides,in order to better incorporate the attention mechanism inside
Transformer and the spatio-temporal information inherent to SNN,we adopt
spatio-temporal attention (STA) instead of spatial-wise or temporal-wise
attention.With our proposed method,we achieve competitive or state-of-the-art
(SOTA) SNN performance on DVS-CIFAR10,DVS-Gesture,and ImageNet datasets with
the least simulation time steps (i.e.low latency).Remarkably,our Spikeformer
outperforms other SNNs on ImageNet by a large margin (i.e.more than 5%) and
even outperforms its ANN counterpart by 3.1% and 2.2% on DVS-Gesture and
ImageNet respectively,indicating that Spikeformer is a promising architecture
for training large-scale SNNs and may be more suitable for SNNs compared to
CNN.We believe that this work shall keep the development of SNNs in step with
ANNs as much as possible.Code will be available
Learning to Auto Weight: Entirely Data-driven and Highly Efficient Weighting Framework
Example weighting algorithm is an effective solution to the training bias
problem, however, most previous typical methods are usually limited to human
knowledge and require laborious tuning of hyperparameters. In this paper, we
propose a novel example weighting framework called Learning to Auto Weight
(LAW). The proposed framework finds step-dependent weighting policies
adaptively, and can be jointly trained with target networks without any
assumptions or prior knowledge about the dataset. It consists of three key
components: Stage-based Searching Strategy (3SM) is adopted to shrink the huge
searching space in a complete training process; Duplicate Network Reward (DNR)
gives more accurate supervision by removing randomness during the searching
process; Full Data Update (FDU) further improves the updating efficiency.
Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of weighting policy explored
by LAW over standard training pipeline. Compared with baselines, LAW can find a
better weighting schedule which achieves much more superior accuracy on both
biased CIFAR and ImageNet.Comment: Accepted by AAAI 202
Simulation of ultrasonic vibration in a liquid aluminum bath for sapphire surface modification
Ultrasonic vibration has been found to play a significant role in promoting surface nano-crystallization of sapphire in a liquid aluminum bath. And the distribution of the vibration field is critical in controlling the modification procedure. Here, distribution of the ultrasonic vibration in a liquid aluminum bath was investigated by finite element method (FEM). Effects of shape of the ultrasonic horn and distance between the horn and the sapphire plates were investigated. It was found that the ultrasonic vibration density is high in the area adjacent to the ultrasonic horn. The distance between the horn and the plates significantly influence the vibration distribution. And the vibration density decreased significantly at the liquid/solid interface, indicating obvious energy absorption there. Vibration energy grads can be formed on sapphire surface. And this phenomenon shall be used to achieve different aims
