增强神经网络辨识模型泛化能力的研究

神经网络(Artificial Neural Network,ANN)辨识模型的泛化能力是其最主要的性能之一,增强ANN模型的泛化能力也是近年来国内外有关专家学者研究的重点问题。大量研究表明,ANN模型泛化能力的改善与很多因素相关联,其中恰当的性能指标函数设计是一个重要影响因素。文中在分析常见的基于均方误差最小原则的性能指标函数基础上,通过加入ANN辨识模型权值间的延迟信息,进而获得一种改进型性能指标函数。通过仿真,验证了所设计的改进型性能指标函数对增强ANN辨识模型的泛化能力是有效的。     

Surrogate role of machine learning in motor-drive optimization for more-electric aircraft applications

Motor drives form an essential part of the electric compressors, pumps, braking and actuation systems in the More-Electric Aircraft (MEA). In this paper, the application of Machine Learning (ML) in motor-drive design and optimization process is investigated. The general idea of using ML is to train surrogate models for the optimization. This training process is based on sample data collected from detailed simulation or experiment of motor drives. However, the Surrogate Role (SR) of ML may vary for different applications. This paper first introduces the principles of ML and then proposes two SRs (direct mapping approach and correction approach) of the ML in a motor-drive optimization process. Two different cases are given for the method comparison and validation of ML SRs. The first case is using the sample data from experiments to train the ML surrogate models. For the second case, the joint-simulation data is utilized for a multi-objective motor-drive optimization problem. It is found that both surrogate roles of ML can provide a good mapping model for the cases and in the second case, three feasible design schemes of ML are proposed and validated for the two SRs. Regarding the time consumption in optimizaiton, the proposed ML models can give one motor-drive design point up to 0.044 s while it takes more than 1.5 mins for the used simulation-based models.     

Orbital error propagation considering atmospheric density uncertainty

Due to the influence of various errors, the orbital uncertainty propagation of artificial celestial objects while orbit prediction is required, especially in some applications such as conjunction analysis. In the orbital error propagation of artificial celestial objects in low Earth orbits (LEOs), atmospheric density uncertainty is one of the important factors that require special attention. In this paper, on the basis of considering the uncertainties of position and velocity, the atmospheric density uncertainty is also taken into account to further investigate the orbital error propagation of artificial celestial objects in LEOs. Artificial intelligence algorithms are introduced, the MC Dropout neural network and the heteroscedastic loss function are used to realize the correction of the empirical atmospheric density model, as well as to provide the quantification of model uncertainty and input uncertainty for the corrected atmospheric densities. It is shown that the neural network we built achieves good results in atmospheric density correction, and the uncertainty quantization obtained from the neural network is also reasonable. Moreover, using the Gaussian mixture model - unscented transform (GMM-UT) method, the atmospheric density uncertainty is taken into account in the orbital uncertainty propagation, by adding a sampled random term to the corrected atmospheric density when calculating atmospheric density. The feasibility of the GMM-UT method considering atmospheric density uncertainty is proved by the further comparison of abundant sampling points and GMM-UT results (with and without considering atmospheric density uncertainty).     

遥感场景分类的批处理协方差神经网络方法

针对卫星遥感图像场景分类数据集中存在的局部区域特征异常问题，提出一种采用批处理协方差层的神经网络(CovNN)模型进行遥感场景分类的方法。该方法通过计算全输入通道的局部区域均值实现一种3D批处理协方差算法，能够有效消除局部区域均值的影响，从而更好地处理局部光照过强和局部区域存在无关特征的问题。将其应用于存在局部光照异常和局部无关特征问题的卫星采集AID数据集和NWPU RESISC45数据集中，实验表明CovNN在两个数据集上均取得了超过现有卷积神经网络(CNN)的召回率，可有效降低图像局部区域特征异常的不利影响。
