ABEM: An Adaptive Agent-based Evolutionary Approach for Mining Influencers in Online Social Networks
Li, W; Hu, Y; Wu, S; Bai, Q; Lai, E (Conference contributionarXiv, 2021)A key step in influence maximization in online social networks is the identification of a small number of users, known as influencers, who are able to spread influence quickly and widely to other users. The evolving nature ... -
Cucker-smale Flocking Under Asynchronous Update Dynamics
Ma, J; Lai, E (IEEE, 2017)The effects of asynchronous updating of the state of the agents in a Cucker-Smale flocking model is considered in this paper. The study of asynchronous update is important because in practical implementations the agents ... -
Finite-time Flocking Control of a Swarm of Cucker-smale Agents With Collision Avoidance
Ma, J; Lai, E (IEEE, 2017)This paper considers the application of finite-time control to a Cucker-Smale flocking model of autonomous agents with collision avoidance. A mathematical expression for the upper bound on the flocking time is derived. ... -
Gaussian Process Model Predictive Control of an Unmanned Quadrotor
Cao, G; Lai, E; Alam, F (Springer Verlag, 2017)The Model Predictive Control (MPC) trajectory tracking problem of an unmanned quadrotor with input and output constraints is addressed. In this article, the dynamic models of the quadrotor are obtained purely from operational ... -
Gaussian Process Model Predictive Control of Unknown Nonlinear Systems
Cao, G; Lai, E; Alam, F (The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2017)Model predictive control (MPC) of an unknown system that is modelled by Gaussian process (GP) techniques is studied. Using GP, the variances computed during the modelling and inference processes allow us to take model ...
