DreamTrajectory: Trajectory-Guided Action Generation with World Model Alignment for Mobile Manipulation

Mobile manipulation requires a robot to coordinate base and arm motion under continuously changing viewpoints and contact conditions, within an action space far larger than that of fixed-base manipulation. Existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies are limited in two respects. (i)They map observations directly to whole-body action chunks, searching this large action space without an explicit task-space motion plan, which makes coordinated base--arm prediction imprecise. (ii)They execute the predicted chunk open-loop, without checking whether the actions can realize the motion the policy intended, so control errors and unmodeled contacts accumulate into a gap between planned and realized motion. We present DreamTrajectory, a trajectory-guided framework for language-conditioned mobile manipulation that introduces one component for each limitation. Addressing(i), DreamTrajectory jointly predicts an intention-level end-effector trajectory and a whole-body action chunk in a single action expert, so that the trajectory explicitly guides base--arm action generation instead of remaining implicit. Addressing(ii), a lightweight trajectory world model predicts the trajectory that a candidate action chunk would induce, and a test-time search--predict--score procedure selects the candidate best aligned with the planned trajectory. On MS-HAB, trajectory guidance raises average success from 32.3% to 47.5% and test-time refinement further to 54.8%, with the largest gains on contact-rich articulated-object tasks. On three real-world mobile manipulation tasks, the corresponding average success rates are 63.3%, 81.7%, and 90.0%.

Action-Effect Memory Pretraining for Robot Manipulation

We present AEM, an Action-Effect Memory pretraining framework for robot manipulation that learns compact temporal representations from vision-action history. Unlike prior robot representation pretraining methods that mainly focus on single-frame visual encoding, AEM targets the temporal nature of manipulation, where the current observation alone is often insufficient under partial observability. AEM models manipulation as an action-driven interaction process by interleaving visual and action features and applying masked modeling to recover missing content from incomplete histories, thereby learning action-conditioned state evolution. The Mamba-encoded output of the final vision token is used as a compact history representation, serving as the global context for decoding and downstream control. This design preserves a single-vector temporal bottleneck while keeping inference efficient. We evaluate AEM with Diffusion Policy and Flow Policy. AEM consistently improves manipulation performance in both simulation and real-world settings, outperforming baselines across clean scenes, cluttered and random scenes, and non-Markovian tasks. Ablation studies further show that history-aware pretraining surpasses single-frame pretraining and direct frame stacking, while reducing inference latency and computational cost.

Drift-Aware Online Dynamic Learning for Nonstationary Multivariate Time Series: Application to Sintering Quality Prediction

Accurate prediction of nonstationary multivariate time series remains a critical challenge in complex industrial systems such as iron ore sintering. In practice, pronounced concept drift compounded by significant label verification latency rapidly degrades the performance of offline-trained models. Existing methods based on static architectures or passive update strategies struggle to simultaneously extract multi-scale spatiotemporal features and overcome the stability-plasticity dilemma without immediate supervision. To address these limitations, a Drift-Aware Multi-Scale Dynamic Learning (DA-MSDL) framework is proposed to maintain robust multi-output predictive performance via online adaptive mechanisms on nonstationary data streams. The framework employs a multi-scale bi-branch convolutional network as its backbone to disentangle local fluctuations from long-term trends, thereby enhancing representational capacity for complex dynamic patterns. To circumvent the label latency bottleneck, DA-MSDL leverages Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) for unsupervised drift detection. By quantifying online statistical deviations in feature distributions, DA-MSDL proactively triggers model adaptation prior to inference. Furthermore, a drift-severity-guided hierarchical fine-tuning strategy is developed. Supported by prioritized experience replay from a dynamic memory queue, this approach achieves rapid distribution alignment while effectively mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Long-horizon experiments on real-world industrial sintering data and a public benchmark dataset demonstrate that DA-MSDL consistently outperforms representative baselines under severe concept drift. Exhibiting strong cross-domain generalization and predictive stability, the proposed framework provides an effective online dynamic learning paradigm for quality monitoring in nonstationary environments.

Auto-Configured Networks for Multi-Scale Multi-Output Time-Series Forecasting

Industrial forecasting often involves multi-source asynchronous signals and multi-output targets, while deployment requires explicit trade-offs between prediction error and model complexity. Current practices typically fix alignment strategies or network designs, making it difficult to systematically co-design preprocessing, architecture, and hyperparameters in budget-limited training-based evaluations. To address this issue, we propose an auto-configuration framework that outputs a deployable Pareto set of forecasting models balancing error and complexity. At the model level, a Multi-Scale Bi-Branch Convolutional Neural Network (MS--BCNN) is developed, where short- and long-kernel branches capture local fluctuations and long-term trends, respectively, for multi-output regression. At the search level, we unify alignment operators, architectural choices, and training hyperparameters into a hierarchical-conditional mixed configuration space, and apply Player-based Hybrid Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (PHMOEA) to approximate the error--complexity Pareto frontier within a limited computational budget. Experiments on hierarchical synthetic benchmarks and a real-world sintering dataset demonstrate that our framework outperforms competitive baselines under the same budget and offers flexible deployment choices.

Multi-Task Genetic Algorithm with Multi-Granularity Encoding for Protein-Nucleotide Binding Site Prediction

Accurate identification of protein-nucleotide binding sites is fundamental to deciphering molecular mechanisms and accelerating drug discovery. However, current computational methods often struggle with suboptimal performance due to inadequate feature representation and rigid fusion mechanisms, which hinder the effective exploitation of cross-task information synergy. To bridge this gap, we propose MTGA-MGE, a framework that integrates a Multi-Task Genetic Algorithm with Multi-Granularity Encoding to enhance binding site prediction. Specifically, we develop a Multi-Granularity Encoding (MGE) network that synergizes multi-scale convolutions and self-attention mechanisms to distill discriminative signals from high-dimensional, redundant biological data. To overcome the constraints of static fusion, a genetic algorithm is employed to adaptively evolve task-specific fusion strategies, thereby effectively improving model generalization. Furthermore, to catalyze collaborative learning, we introduce an External-Neighborhood Mechanism (ENM) that leverages biological similarities to facilitate targeted information exchange across tasks. Extensive evaluations on fifteen nucleotide datasets demonstrate that MTGA-MGE not only establishes a new state-of-the-art in data-abundant, high-resource scenarios but also maintains a robust competitive edge in rare, low-resource regimes, presenting a highly adaptive scheme for decoding complex protein-ligand interactions in the post-genomic era.

Multi-objective Genetic Programming with Multi-view Multi-level Feature for Enhanced Protein Secondary Structure Prediction

Predicting protein secondary structure is essential for understanding protein function and advancing drug discovery. However, the intricate sequence-structure relationship poses significant challenges for accurate modeling. To address these, we propose MOGP-MMF, a multi-objective genetic programming framework that reformulates PSSP as an automated optimization task focused on feature selection and fusion. Specifically, MOGP-MMF introduces a multi-view multi-level representation strategy that integrates evolutionary, semantic, and newly introduced structural views to capture the comprehensive protein folding logic. Leveraging an enriched operator set, the framework evolves both linear and nonlinear fusion functions, effectively capturing high-order feature interactions while reducing fusion complexity. To resolve the accuracy-complexity trade-off, an improved multi-objective GP algorithm is developed, incorporating a knowledge transfer mechanism that utilizes prior evolutionary experience to guide the population toward global optima. Extensive experiments across seven benchmark datasets demonstrate that MOGP-MMF surpasses state-of-the-art methods, particularly in Q8 accuracy and structural integrity. Furthermore, MOGP-MMF generates a diverse set of non-dominated solutions, offering flexible model selection schemes for various practical application scenarios. The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/qian-ann/MOGP-MMF/tree/main.

Enhanced Protein Intrinsic Disorder Prediction Through Dual-View Multiscale Features and Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm

Intrinsically disordered regions of proteins play a crucial role in cell signaling and drug discovery. However, their high structural flexibility makes accurate residue-level prediction challenging. Existing methods often rely on single-view representations or rigid manual fusion strategies, which fail to effectively balance the complex interplay between local amino acid preferences and long-range sequence patterns. To address these limitations, we propose D2MOE, a Dual-View Multiscale Features and Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm, which consists of two stages. First, a dual-view multiscale feature extraction method is introduced. This method integrates evolutionary views with deep semantic views and employs multiscale extractors to capture structural information across diverse receptive fields. Second, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is designed to adaptively discover optimal fusion architectures. By co-evolving discrete feature selection and continuous fusion weights, the algorithm adaptively explores optimal cross-feature architectures to enhance predictive accuracy while maintaining model compactness. Experimental results across three benchmark datasets demonstrate that D2MOE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods. D2MOE combines the feature extraction capabilities of deep learning with the global search advantages of evolutionary algorithms, enabling efficient feature integration without manual design, and providing a robust computational tool for protein disorder prediction.

AI-empowered Channel Estimation for Block-based Active IRS-enhanced Hybrid-field IoT Network

In this paper, channel estimation (CE) for uplink hybrid-field communications involving multiple Internet of Things (IoT) devices assisted by an active intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is investigated. Firstly, to reduce the complexity of near-field (NF) channel modeling and estimation between IoT devices and active IRS, a sub-blocking strategy for active IRS is proposed. Specifically, the entire active IRS is divided into multiple smaller sub-blocks, so that IoT devices are located in the far-field (FF) region of each sub block, while also being located in the NF region of the entire active IRS. This strategy significantly simplifies the channel model and reduces the parameter estimation dimension by decoupling the high-dimensional NF channel parameter space into low dimensional FF sub channels. Subsequently, the relationship between channel approximation error and CE error with respect to the number of sub blocks is derived, and the optimal number of sub blocks is solved based on the criterion of minimizing the total error. In addition, considering that the amplification capability of active IRS requires power consumption, a closed-form expression for the optimal power allocation factor is derived. To further reduce the pilot overhead, a lightweight CE algorithm based on convolutional autoencoder (CAE) and multi-head attention mechanism, called CAEformer, is designed. The Cramer-Rao lower bound is derived to evaluate the proposed algorithm's performance. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the proposed CAEformer network significantly outperforms the conventional least square and minimum mean square error scheme in terms of estimation accuracy.

Co-learning-aided Multi-modal-deep-learning Framework of Passive DOA Estimators for a Heterogeneous Hybrid Massive MIMO Receiver

Due to its excellent performance in rate and resolution, fully-digital (FD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays has been widely applied in data transmission and direction of arrival (DOA) measurements, etc. But it confronts with two main challenges: high computational complexity and circuit cost. The two problems may be addressed well by hybrid analog-digital (HAD) structure. But there exists the problem of phase ambiguity for HAD, which leads to its low-efficiency or high-latency. Does exist there such a MIMO structure of owning low-cost, low-complexity and high time efficiency at the same time. To satisfy the three properties, a novel heterogeneous hybrid MIMO receiver structure of integrating FD and heterogeneous HAD ($\rm{H}^2$AD-FD) is proposed and corresponding multi-modal (MD)-learning framework is developed. The framework includes three major stages: 1) generate the candidate sets via root multiple signal classification (Root-MUSIC) or deep learning (DL); 2) infer the class of true solutions from candidate sets using machine learning (ML) methods; 3) fuse the two-part true solutions to achieve a better DOA estimation. The above process form two methods named MD-Root-MUSIC and MDDL. To improve DOA estimation accuracy and reduce the clustering complexity, a co-learning-aided MD framework is proposed to form two enhanced methods named CoMDDL and CoMD-RootMUSIC. Moreover, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for the proposed $\rm{H}^2$AD-FD structure is also derived. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed four methods could approach the CRLB for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 0 dB and the proposed CoMDDL and MDDL perform better than CoMD-RootMUSIC and MD-RootMUSIC, particularly in the extremely low SNR region.

High-performance Power Allocation Strategies for Active IRS-aided Wireless Network

Due to its intrinsic ability to combat the double fading effect, the active intelligent reflective surface (IRS) becomes popular. The main feature of active IRS must be supplied by power, and the problem of how to allocate the total power between base station (BS) and IRS to fully explore the rate gain achieved by power allocation (PA) to remove the rate gap between existing PA strategies and optimal exhaustive search (ES) arises naturally. First, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) expression is derived to be a function of PA factor beta [0, 1]. Then, to improve the rate performance of the conventional gradient ascent (GA), an equal-spacing-multiple-point-initialization GA (ESMPI-GA) method is proposed. Due to its slow linear convergence from iterative GA, the proposed ESMPI-GA is high-complexity. Eventually, to reduce this high complexity, a low-complexity closed-form PA method with third-order Taylor expansion (TTE) centered at point beta0 = 0.5 is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed ESMPI-GA and TTE obviously outperform existing methods like equal PA.

ETO Meets Scheduling: Learning Key Knowledge from Single-Objective Problems to Multi-Objective Problem

Evolutionary transfer optimization(ETO) serves as "a new frontier in evolutionary computation research", which will avoid zero reuse of experience and knowledge from solved problems in traditional evolutionary computation. In scheduling applications via ETO, a highly competitive "meeting" framework between them could be constituted towards both intelligent scheduling and green scheduling, especially for carbon neutrality within the context of China. To the best of our knowledge, our study on scheduling here, is the 1st work of ETO for complex optimization when multiobjective problem "meets" single-objective problems in combinatorial case (not multitasking optimization). More specifically, key knowledge like positional building blocks clustered, could be learned and transferred for permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP). Empirical studies on well-studied benchmarks validate relatively firm effectiveness and great potential of our proposed ETO-PFSP framework.

Spatial Modulation: an Attractive Secure Solution to Future Wireless Network

As a green and secure wireless transmission method, secure spatial modulation (SM) is becoming a hot research area. Its basic idea is to exploit both the index of activated transmit antenna and amplitude phase modulation signal to carry messages, improve security, and save energy. In this paper, we review its crucial challenges: transmit antenna selection (TAS), artificial noise (AN) projection, power allocation (PA) and joint detection at the desired receiver. As the size of signal constellation tends to medium-scale or large-scale, the complexity of traditional maximum likelihood detector becomes prohibitive. To reduce this complexity, a low-complexity maximum likelihood (ML) detector is proposed. To further enhance the secrecy rate (SR) performance, a deep-neural-network (DNN) PA strategy is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed low-complexity ML detector, with a lower-complexity, has the same bit error rate performance as the joint ML method while the proposed DNN method strikes a good balance between complexity and SR performance.

Multiobjective Multitasking Optimization Based on Decomposition with Dual Neighborhoods

This paper proposes a multiobjective multitasking optimization evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition with dual neighborhood. In our proposed algorithm, each subproblem not only maintains a neighborhood based on the Euclidean distance among weight vectors within its own task, but also keeps a neighborhood with subproblems of other tasks. Gray relation analysis is used to define neighborhood among subproblems of different tasks. In such a way, relationship among different subproblems can be effectively exploited to guide the search. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms four state-of-the-art multiobjective multitasking evolutionary algorithms and a traditional decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm on a set of test problems.

A Range-Doppler-Angle Estimation Method for Passive Bistatic Radar

In this paper, an effective target detection and localization method is proposed for a passive bistatic radar (PBR) system. The PBR system consists of a commercial FM radio station, which is a non-cooperative illuminator of opportunity (IO), referred to as the transmitter antenna and multiple surveillance antennas that form an antenna array, e.g., uniform linear array (ULA). Unlike other literatures where the reference signal is received by a directional antenna, here, the reference signal (direct path) is estimated by beamforming method. Then a modified extensive cancellation algorithm (MECA) based on (least squares) LS method is proposed to solve the disturbance cancellation. After cancelling the disturbance, the matched filter (MF) and LS methods are used for range-Doppler estimation of targets, and then the angles of targets are estimated based on beamforming method. The proposed method is suitable for an antenna array. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the superiority of the proposed MECA disturbance cancellation method and parameter estimation method.
