GESR: A Genetic Programming-Based Symbolic Regression Method with Gene Editing

Mathematical formulas serve as a language through which humans communicate with nature. Discovering mathematical laws from scientific data to describe natural phenomena has been a long-standing pursuit of humanity for centuries. In the field of artificial intelligence, this challenge is known as the symbolic regression problem. Among existing symbolic regression approaches, Genetic Programming (GP) based on evolutionary algorithms remains one of the most classical and widely adopted methods. GP simulates the evolutionary process across generations through genetic mutation and crossover. However, mutations and crossovers in GP are entirely random. While this randomness effectively mimics natural evolution, it inevitably produces both beneficial and detrimental variations. If there existed a metaphorical `God` capable of foreseeing which genetic mutations or crossovers would yield superior outcomes and performing targeted gene editing accordingly, the efficiency of evolution could be substantially improved. Motivated by this idea, we propose in this paper a symbolic regression approach based on gene editing, termed GESR. In GESR, we trained two "hands of God" (two BERT models). Among them, the first leverages the BERT's masked language modeling capability to guide the mutation of genes (expression symbols). The other BERT model guides the crossover of individual genes by predicting the crossover point. Experimental results demonstrate that GESR significantly improves computational efficiency compared with traditional GP algorithms and achieves strong overall performance across multiple symbolic regression tasks.

Large-scale Regional Traffic Signal Control Based on Single-Agent Reinforcement Learning

In the context of global urbanization and motorization, traffic congestion has become a significant issue, severely affecting the quality of life, environment, and economy. This paper puts forward a single-agent reinforcement learning (RL)-based regional traffic signal control (TSC) model. Different from multi - agent systems, this model can coordinate traffic signals across a large area, with the goals of alleviating regional traffic congestion and minimizing the total travel time. The TSC environment is precisely defined through specific state space, action space, and reward functions. The state space consists of the current congestion state, which is represented by the queue lengths of each link, and the current signal phase scheme of intersections. The action space is designed to select an intersection first and then adjust its phase split. Two reward functions are meticulously crafted. One focuses on alleviating congestion and the other aims to minimize the total travel time while considering the congestion level. The experiments are carried out with the SUMO traffic simulation software. The performance of the TSC model is evaluated by comparing it with a base case where no signal-timing adjustments are made. The results show that the model can effectively control congestion. For example, the queuing length is significantly reduced in the scenarios tested. Moreover, when the reward is set to both alleviate congestion and minimize the total travel time, the average travel time is remarkably decreased, which indicates that the model can effectively improve traffic conditions. This research provides a new approach for large-scale regional traffic signal control and offers valuable insights for future urban traffic management.

Robust Single-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Regional Traffic Signal Control Under Demand Fluctuations

Traffic congestion, primarily driven by intersection queuing, significantly impacts urban living standards, safety, environmental quality, and economic efficiency. While Traffic Signal Control (TSC) systems hold potential for congestion mitigation, traditional optimization models often fail to capture real-world traffic complexity and dynamics. This study introduces a novel single-agent reinforcement learning (RL) framework for regional adaptive TSC, circumventing the coordination complexities inherent in multi-agent systems through a centralized decision-making paradigm. The model employs an adjacency matrix to unify the encoding of road network topology, real-time queue states derived from probe vehicle data, and current signal timing parameters. Leveraging the efficient learning capabilities of the DreamerV3 world model, the agent learns control policies where actions sequentially select intersections and adjust their signal phase splits to regulate traffic inflow/outflow, analogous to a feedback control system. Reward design prioritizes queue dissipation, directly linking congestion metrics (queue length) to control actions. Simulation experiments conducted in SUMO demonstrate the model's effectiveness: under inference scenarios with multi-level (10%, 20%, 30%) Origin-Destination (OD) demand fluctuations, the framework exhibits robust anti-fluctuation capability and significantly reduces queue lengths. This work establishes a new paradigm for intelligent traffic control compatible with probe vehicle technology. Future research will focus on enhancing practical applicability by incorporating stochastic OD demand fluctuations during training and exploring regional optimization mechanisms for contingency events.

SCE-SLAM: Scale-Consistent Monocular SLAM via Scene Coordinate Embeddings

Monocular visual SLAM enables 3D reconstruction from internet video and autonomous navigation on resource-constrained platforms, yet suffers from scale drift, i.e., the gradual divergence of estimated scale over long sequences. Existing frame-to-frame methods achieve real-time performance through local optimization but accumulate scale drift due to the lack of global constraints among independent windows. To address this, we propose SCE-SLAM, an end-to-end SLAM system that maintains scale consistency through scene coordinate embeddings, which are learned patch-level representations encoding 3D geometric relationships under a canonical scale reference. The framework consists of two key modules: geometry-guided aggregation that leverages 3D spatial proximity to propagate scale information from historical observations through geometry-modulated attention, and scene coordinate bundle adjustment that anchors current estimates to the reference scale through explicit 3D coordinate constraints decoded from the scene coordinate embeddings. Experiments on KITTI, Waymo, and vKITTI demonstrate substantial improvements: our method reduces absolute trajectory error by 8.36m on KITTI compared to the best prior approach, while maintaining 36 FPS and achieving scale consistency across large-scale scenes.

Single-agent Reinforcement Learning Model for Regional Adaptive Traffic Signal Control

Several studies have employed reinforcement learning (RL) to address the challenges of regional adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC) and achieved promising results. In this field, existing research predominantly adopts multi-agent frameworks. However, the adoption of multi-agent frameworks presents challenges for scalability. Instead, the Traffic signal control (TSC) problem necessitates a single-agent framework. TSC inherently relies on centralized management by a single control center, which can monitor traffic conditions across all roads in the study area and coordinate the control of all intersections. This work proposes a single-agent RL-based regional ATSC model compatible with probe vehicle technology. Key components of the RL design include state, action, and reward function definitions. To facilitate learning and manage congestion, both state and reward functions are defined based on queue length, with action designed to regulate queue dynamics. The queue length definition used in this study differs slightly from conventional definitions but is closely correlated with congestion states. More importantly, it allows for reliable estimation using link travel time data from probe vehicles. With probe vehicle data already covering most urban roads, this feature enhances the proposed method's potential for widespread deployment. The method was comprehensively evaluated using the SUMO simulation platform. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model effectively mitigates large-scale regional congestion levels via coordinated multi-intersection control.

GmFace: A Mathematical Model for Face Image Representation Using Multi-Gaussian

Establishing mathematical models is a ubiquitous and effective method to understand the objective world. Due to complex physiological structures and dynamic behaviors, mathematical representation of the human face is an especially challenging task. A mathematical model for face image representation called GmFace is proposed in the form of a multi-Gaussian function in this paper. The model utilizes the advantages of two-dimensional Gaussian function which provides a symmetric bell surface with a shape that can be controlled by parameters. The GmNet is then designed using Gaussian functions as neurons, with parameters that correspond to each of the parameters of GmFace in order to transform the problem of GmFace parameter solving into a network optimization problem of GmNet. The face modeling process can be described by the following steps: (1) GmNet initialization; (2) feeding GmNet with face image(s); (3) training GmNet until convergence; (4) drawing out the parameters of GmNet (as the same as GmFace); (5) recording the face model GmFace. Furthermore, using GmFace, several face image transformation operations can be realized mathematically through simple parameter computation.
