Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Autonomous intelligent visual identity, analysis, diagnosis, and decision making in a complex natural environment are a hot research field today. With the continuous improvement of manufacturing capacity, the degree of automation in the production process of products is continuously growing. For traditional visual identity, analysis, diagnosis, and decision-making algorithms, technicians with a large amount of knowledge in engineering technology and the professional domain are required to model visual recognition. Traditional algorithms can only adapt to a single scenario or task, not to multiple ones or all at once. In addition, in cases where the constraint conditions are described by fuzzy sets, fuzzy programming can seek extreme values of the fuzzy target. However, agents trained through deep learning methods have better generality. Fuzzy theory combines deep learning to obtain a fuzzy deep network model to achieve a better performance, which is also a current development trend. The promotion of deep learning applications has led to a rapid development of autonomous intelligent visual identity, analysis, diagnosis, and decision making.

In the process of autonomous intelligent visual identity, analysis, diagnosis, and decision making, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty of random variables which involves the anticipation of the amount of information generated by all possible events. Reducing entropy can be achieved through iterative training of deep learning. Contributions addressing any of these issues are very welcome.

This Special Issue aims to serve as a forum for the presentation of new and improved techniques of information theory for autonomous intelligent visual identity, analysis, diagnosis, and decision making. In particular, the analysis and interpretation of generalization and superiority of the system with the help of statistical tools based on deep learning applications falls within the scope of this Special Issue.

In the field of reinforcement learning, we propose a Correct Proximal Policy Optimization (CPPO) algorithm based on the modified penalty factor β and relative entropy in order to solve the robustness and stationarity of traditional algorithms. Firstly, In the process of reinforcement learning, this paper establishes a strategy evaluation mechanism through the policy distribution function. Secondly, the state space function is quantified by introducing entropy, whereby the approximation policy is used to approximate the real policy distribution, and the kernel function estimation and calculation of relative entropy is used to fit the reward function based on complex problem. Finally, through the comparative analysis on the classic test cases, we demonstrated that our proposed algorithm is effective, has a faster convergence speed and better performance than the traditional PPO algorithm, and the measure of the relative entropy can show the differences. In addition, it can more efficiently use the information of complex environment to learn policies. At the same time, not only can our paper explain the rationality of the policy distribution theory, the proposed framework can also balance between iteration steps, computational complexity and convergence speed, and we also introduced an effective measure of performance using the relative entropy concept.

A pursuit–evasion game is a classical maneuver confrontation problem in the multi-agent systems (MASs) domain. An online decision technique based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) was developed in this paper to address the problem of environment sensing and decision-making in pursuit–evasion games. A control-oriented framework developed from the DRL-based multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) algorithm was built to implement multi-agent cooperative decision-making to overcome the limitation of the tedious state variables required for the traditionally complicated modeling process. To address the effects of errors between a model and a real scenario, this paper introduces adversarial disturbances. It also proposes a novel adversarial attack trick and adversarial learning MADDPG (A2-MADDPG) algorithm. By introducing an adversarial attack trick for the agents themselves, uncertainties of the real world are modeled, thereby optimizing robust training. During the training process, adversarial learning was incorporated into our algorithm to preprocess the actions of multiple agents, which enabled them to properly respond to uncertain dynamic changes in MASs. Experimental results verified that the proposed approach provides superior performance and effectiveness for pursuers and evaders, and both can learn the corresponding confrontational strategy during training.
