Geometric Algebra-Enhanced Bayesian Flow Network for RNAInverse Design
With the development of biotechnology, RNA therapies have shown great potential. However, different from proteins, the sequences corresponding to a single RNA three-dimensional structure are more abundant. Most of the existing RNA design methods merely take into account the secondary structure of RNA, or are only capable of generating a limited number of candidate sequences. To address these limitations, we propose a geometric-algebra-enhanced Bayesian Flow Network for the inverse design of RNA, called RBFN. RBFN uses a Bayesian Flow Network to model the distribution of nucleotide sequences in RNA, enabling the generation of more reasonable RNA sequences. Meanwhile, considering the more flexible characteristics of RNA conformations, we utilize geometric algebra to enhance the modeling ability of the RNA three-dimensional structure, facilitating a better understanding of RNA structural properties. In addition, due to the scarcity of RNA structures and the limitation that there are only four types of nucleic acids, we propose a new time-step distribution sampling to address the scarcity of RNA structure data and the relatively small number of nucleic acid types. Evaluation on the single-state fixed-backbone re-design benchmark and multi-state fixedbackbone benchmark indicates that RBFN can outperform existing RNA design methods in various RNA design tasks, enabling effective RNA sequence design.
LiDAR-Inertial SLAM-Based Navigation and Safety-Oriented AI-Driven Control System for Skid-Steer Robots
Shahna, Mehdi Heydari, Haaparanta, Eemil, Mustalahti, Pauli, Mattila, Jouni
Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and stochastic technologies into the mobile robot navigation and control (MRNC) framework while adhering to rigorous safety standards presents significant challenges. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a comprehensively integrated MRNC framework for skid-steer wheeled mobile robots (SSWMRs), in which all components are actively engaged in real-time execution. The framework comprises: 1) a LiDAR-inertial simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for estimating the current pose of the robot within the built map; 2) an effective path-following control system for generating desired linear and angular velocity commands based on the current pose and the desired pose; 3) inverse kinematics for transferring linear and angular velocity commands into left and right side velocity commands; and 4) a robust AI-driven (RAID) control system incorporating a radial basis function network (RBFN) with a new adaptive algorithm to enforce in-wheel actuation systems to track each side motion commands. To further meet safety requirements, the proposed RAID control within the MRNC framework of the SSWMR constrains AI-generated tracking performance within predefined overshoot and steady-state error limits, while ensuring robustness and system stability by compensating for modeling errors, unknown RBF weights, and external forces. Experimental results verify the proposed MRNC framework performance for a 4,836 kg SSWMR operating on soft terrain.
Hybrid Machine Learning Approach For Real-Time Malicious Url Detection Using Som-Rmo And Rbfn With Tabu Search Optimization
T, Swetha, M, Seshaiah, KL, Hemalatha, BH, ManjunathaKumar, SVN, Murthy
The proliferation of malicious URLs has become a significant threat to internet security, encompassing SPAM, phishing, malware, and defacement attacks. Traditional detection methods struggle to keep pace with the evolving nature of these threats. Detecting malicious URLs in real-time requires advanced techniques capable of handling large datasets and identifying novel attack patterns. The challenge lies in developing a robust model that combines efficient feature extraction with accurate classification. We propose a hybrid machine learning approach combining Self-Organizing Map based Radial Movement Optimization (SOM-RMO) for feature extraction and Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) based Tabu Search for classification. SOM-RMO effectively reduces dimensionality and highlights significant features, while RBFN, optimized with Tabu Search, classifies URLs with high precision. The proposed model demonstrates superior performance in detecting various malicious URL attacks. On a benchmark dataset, our approach achieved an accuracy of 96.5%, precision of 95.2%, recall of 94.8%, and an F1-score of 95.0%, outperforming traditional methods significantly.
Data Selection: A Surprisingly Effective and General Principle for Building Small Interpretable Models
We present convincing empirical evidence for an effective and general strategy for building accurate small models. Such models are attractive for interpretability and also find use in resource-constrained environments. The strategy is to learn the training distribution instead of using data from the test distribution. The distribution learning algorithm is not a contribution of this work; we highlight the broad usefulness of this simple strategy on a diverse set of tasks, and as such these rigorous empirical results are our contribution. We apply it to the tasks of (1) building cluster explanation trees, (2) prototype-based classification, and (3) classification using Random Forests, and show that it improves the accuracy of weak traditional baselines to the point that they are surprisingly competitive with specialized modern techniques. This strategy is also versatile wrt the notion of model size. In the first two tasks, model size is identified by number of leaves in the tree and the number of prototypes respectively. In the final task involving Random Forests the strategy is shown to be effective even when model size is determined by more than one factor: number of trees and their maximum depth. Positive results using multiple datasets are presented that are shown to be statistically significant. These lead us to conclude that this strategy is both effective, i.e, leads to significant improvements, and general, i.e., is applicable to different tasks and model families, and therefore merits further attention in domains that require small accurate models.
Differentiable Trajectory Generation for Car-like Robots with Interpolating Radial Basis Function Networks
Zheng, Hongrui, Mangharam, Rahul
The design of Autonomous Vehicle software has largely followed the Sense-Plan-Act model. Traditional modular AV stacks develop perception, planning, and control software separately with little integration when optimizing for different objectives. On the other hand, end-to-end methods usually lack the principle provided by model-based white-box planning and control strategies. We propose a computationally efficient method for approximating closed-form trajectory generation with interpolating Radial Basis Function Networks to create a middle ground between the two approaches. The approach creates smooth approximations of local Lipschitz continuous maps of feasible solutions to parametric optimization problems. We show that this differentiable approximation is efficient to compute and allows for tighter integration with perception and control algorithms when used as the planning strategy.
Radial Basis Function. Radial basis function is derived from…
Radial basis function is derived from Cover's Theorem of Separability of Patterns: "A complex pattern classification problem, cast in a high dimensional space non linearly is more likely to be linearly separable then in a low dimensional space provided that the space is not densely populated". Hidden neuron activations in RBFN are computed using an exponential of a distance measure (Euclidean distance) between input vectors and prototype vectors associated with hidden neurons. RBFN was originally introduced for the purpose of interpolation of data points on a finite training set T {Xk, dk } k 1 Q . Then solving the exact interpolation problem, we have to search for a map "f" such that f(x) dk k 1 to Q. There are 3 functions for RBF used in ML: 1. Gaussian functions 2. Multiquadric 3. Inverse multiquadric When deciding whether to use an RBF network or an MLP, there are several factors to consider.
ACO based Adaptive RBFN Control for Robot Manipulators
Manakkadu, Sheheeda, Dutta, Sourav
This paper describes a new approach for approximating the inverse kinematics of a manipulator using an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based RBFN (Radial Basis Function Network). In this paper, a training solution using the ACO and the LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithm is presented in a two-phase training procedure. To settle the problem that the cluster results of k-mean clustering Radial Basis Function (RBF) are easy to be influenced by the selection of initial characters and converge to a local minimum, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for the RBF neural networks which will optimize the center of RBF neural networks and reduce the number of the hidden layer neurons nodes is presented. The result demonstrates that the accuracy of Ant Colony Optimization for the Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks is higher, and the extent of fitting has been improved.
Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs)
In this article, we will talk about one of the algorithms that belong to the deep learning algorithms, RBFNs, as they are a special type of feeder neural network that use radial basis functions as activation functions. It has an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer and is mostly used for classification, regression, and time-series prediction. Radial basis function (RBF) networks are a common type of use in artificial neural networks for function approximation problems. Radial-based function networks are distinguished from other neural networks due to their global approximation and fast learning speed. The main advantage of the RBF network is that it has only one hidden layer and uses the radial basis function as the activation function.
Gradient-Based Training and Pruning of Radial Basis Function Networks with an Application in Materials Physics
Määttä, Jussi, Bazaliy, Viacheslav, Kimari, Jyri, Djurabekova, Flyura, Nordlund, Kai, Roos, Teemu
Many applications, especially in physics and other sciences, call for easily interpretable and robust machine learning techniques. We propose a fully gradient-based technique for training radial basis function networks with an efficient and scalable open-source implementation. We derive novel closed-form optimization criteria for pruning the models for continuous as well as binary data which arise in a challenging real-world material physics problem. The pruned models are optimized to provide compact and interpretable versions of larger models based on informed assumptions about the data distribution. Visualizations of the pruned models provide insight into the atomic configurations that determine atom-level migration processes in solid matter; these results may inform future research on designing more suitable descriptors for use with machine learning algorithms.
Towards Expressive Priors for Bayesian Neural Networks: Poisson Process Radial Basis Function Networks
Coker, Beau, Pradier, Melanie F., Doshi-Velez, Finale
While Bayesian neural networks have many appealing characteristics, current priors do not easily allow users to specify basic properties such as expected lengthscale or amplitude variance. In this work, we introduce Poisson Process Radial Basis Function Networks, a novel prior that is able to encode amplitude stationarity and input-dependent lengthscale. We prove that our novel formulation allows for a decoupled specification of these properties, and that the estimated regression function is consistent as the number of observations tends to infinity. We demonstrate its behavior on synthetic and real examples.
