A deep learning model based on transformer structure for radar tracking of maneuvering targets

Ayushu Zhang, Gang Li, Xiao-Ping Zhang, You He

Summary: In this paper, we propose a new TrMTT model based on deep learning to solve the state estimation problem of strong maneuvering targets. The TrMTT model uses a new residual mapping between the observation trajectory and the real trajectory to estimate the target states, and extracts and fuses features through encoder and decoder branches, providing more correlation information for learning the transition law of the target states.

Incomplete multiview subspace clustering based on multiple kernel low-redundant representation learning

Ao Li, Cong Feng, Yuan Cheng, Yingtao Zhang, Hailu Yang

Summary: This paper proposes a new method for incomplete multiview subspace clustering. By using multiple kernel completion, low-redundant representation learning, and weighted tensor low-rank constraint, intact and compact subspaces can be obtained. Instead of the traditional pairwise subspace fusion, the proposed method fuses multiview subspaces with a weighted tensor low-rank constraint, which explores higher-order relationships among views and assigns appropriate weights to each view. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

DESCAN: Censorship-resistant indexing and search for Web3

Martijn de Vos, Georgy Ishmaev, Johan Pouwelse

Summary: DESCAN is a decentralized and censorship-resistant indexing and search engine for Web3 that allows storage and retrieval of Web3 transactions. It utilizes custom rules for indexing transactions and stores the generated triplets in a distributed transaction graph, enabling decentralized search. Four modifications are proposed to improve the system's robustness by enhancing the Skip Graph data structure. Experimental results demonstrate that DESCAN can tolerate adversarial and unresponsive peers without disruption. Searches in DESCAN are completed quickly, even as the network grows, and storage and network costs are evenly distributed among peers.
