In the real-world, symmetry or asymmetry widely exists in various problems. Some of them can be formulated as constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs). During the past few years, handling CMOPs by evolutionary algorithms has become more popular. Lots of constrained multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms (CMOEAs) have been proposed. Whereas different CMOEAs may be more suitable for different CMOPs, it is difficult to choose the best one for a CMOP at hand. In this paper, we propose an ensemble framework of CMOEAs that aims to achieve better versatility on handling diverse CMOPs. In the proposed framework, the hypervolume indicator is used to evaluate the performance of CMOEAs, and a decreasing mechanism is devised to delete the poorly performed CMOEAs and to gradually determine the most suitable CMOEA. A new CMOEA, namely ECMOEA, is developed based on the framework and three state-of-the-art CMOEAs. Experimental results on five benchmarks with totally 52 instances demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. In addition, the superiority of ECMOEA is verified through comparisons to seven state-of-the-art CMOEAs. Moreover, the effectiveness of ECMOEA on the real-world problems is also evaluated for eight instances.

Visual tracking arises in various real-world tasks where an object should be located in a video. Sparse representation can implement tracking problems by linearly representing object with a few templates. However, this approach has two main shortcomings. Namely, setting the templates updating frequency is difficult and meanwhile it is relatively weak in distinguishing the object from the background. For solving these problems, the author models a multilevel object template set that can be stratified by different updating time spans. The hierarchical structure and updating strategy promise the real-timeness, stability, and diversity of object template. Additionally, metric learning is combined to evaluate the object candidates and thereby improve the discriminative ability. Experiments on well-known visual tracking datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can track an object more robustly and accurately compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

This paper takes a critical look at the concept of real-world robot evolution discussing specific challenges for making it practicable. After a brief review of the state of the art several enablers are discussed in detail. It is noted that sample efficient evolution is one of the key prerequisites and there are various promising directions towards this in different stages of maturity, including learning as part of the evolutionary system, genotype filtering, and hybridizing real-world evolution with simulations in a new way. Furthermore, it is emphasized that an evolutionary system that works in the real world needs robots that work in the real world. Obvious as it may seem, to achieve this significant complexification of the robots and their tasks is needed compared to the current practice. Finally, the importance of not only building but also understanding evolving robot systems is emphasised, stating that in order to have the technology work we also need the science behind it.

Deep facial recognition (FR) has reached very high accuracy on various demanding datasets and encourages successful real-world applications, even demonstrating strong tolerance to illumination change, which is commonly viewed as a major danger to FR systems. In the real world, however, illumination variance produced by a variety of lighting situations cannot be adequately captured by the limited facsimile. To this end, we first propose the physical model- based adversarial relighting attack (ARA) denoted as albedo- quotient-based adversarial relighting attack (AQ-ARA). It generates natural adversarial light under the physical lighting model and guidance of FR systems and synthesizes adversarially relighted face images. Moreover, we propose the auto-predictive adversarial relighting attack (AP-ARA) by training an adversarial relighting network (ARNet) to automatically predict the adversarial light in a one-step manner according to different input faces, allowing efficiency-sensitive applications . More importantly, we propose to transfer the above digital attacks to physical ARA (Phy- ARA) through a precise relighting device, making the estimated adversarial lighting condition reproducible in the real world. We validate our methods on three state-of-the-art deep FR methods, i.e., FaceNet, ArcFace, and CosFace, on two public datasets. The extensive and insightful results demonstrate our work can generate realistic adversarial relighted face images fooling FR easily, revealing the threat of specific light directions and strengths.

Identity deception in online social networks is a pervasive problem. Ongoing research is developing methods for identity deception detection. However, the real-world efficacy of these methods is currently unknown because they have been evaluated largely through laboratory experiments. We present a review of representative state-of-the-art results on identity deception detection. Based on this analysis, we identify common methodological weaknesses for these approaches, and we propose recommendations that can increase their effectiveness for when they are applied in real-world environments.


Social media’s sentimental data is the most vital digital marketing platform that can help us to reveal the real world events including qualitative insights to understand people’s visibility about brands, politics, emotional status, and so on. With today’s interrelated world, a public relations disaster can be initiated with one post or a tweet. Conventional sentimental analysis is the process of defining whether the shared post on social media is neutral, positive or negative and has been focused by the Dealers, Administrations to understand public feelings of their products and corporation. However, extensive usage of emoji in social media has attracted an increasing interest. In this proposed framework, we suggest a novel scheme for Twitter sentiment method on emojis by considering pre-trained word and emoji embeddings. We first train our model to learn word, emoji embeddings under positive and negative tweets; later a classifier passes them through a neural network combining LSTM to achieve better performance. Our tests show that the proposed model operational for extracting sentiment-aware emojis and outperforms the state-of-the-art simulations.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
