Title: Control Research for Underactuated Cranes with State Constraints
Abstract: Crane systems are widely used transportation tools in industrial production. However, due to the underactuated properties, less control inputs are used to dominate more degrees of freedom for cranes, which increases the control difficulty. Furthermore, since the working environment for cranes may be complex, various state constraints should be considered for the control design of cranes to ensure safety. Considering these factors, in this presentation, we propose three different kinds of control methods with state constraints to deal with different crane transportation issues. We also extend the proposed method to solve the state constraint control problem for a class of underactuated systems. Rigorous theoretical analysis and comprehensive experimental tests illustrate the proper performance of the proposed state constraint control method.

Title： Cross-domain sentiment classification
Abstract： Training data in a specific domain are often insufficient in the area of text sentiment classifications. Cross-domain sentiment classification (CDSC) is usually utilized to extend the application scope of transfer learning in text-based social media and effectively solve the problem of insufficient data marking in specific domains. Hence, this paper aims to propose a CDSC method via parameter transferring and attention sharing mechanism (PTASM), and the presented architecture includes the source domain network (SDN) and the target domain network (TDN). First, hierarchical attentional network with pre-training language model on training data, such as global vectors for word representation and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), are constructed. The word and sentence levels of parameter-transferring mechanisms are introduced in the model transfer. Then, parameter transfer and fine-tuning techniques are adopted to transfer network parameters from SDN to TDN. Moreover, sentiment attention can serve as a bridge for sentiment transfer across different domains. Finally, word and sentence level attention mechanisms are introduced, and sentiment attention is shared from the two levels across domains. Extensive experiments show that the PTASM-BERT method achieves state-of-the-art results on Amazon review cross-domain datasets.
