In the United States, the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak, the shortage of available testing, and the delay of test results present challenges for actively monitoring its spread based on testing alone.

The objective of this study was to develop, evaluate, and deploy an automatic natural language processing pipeline to collect user-generated Twitter data as a complementary resource for identifying potential cases of COVID-19 in the United States that are not based on testing and, thus, may not have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Beginning January 23, 2020, we collected English tweets from the Twitter Streaming application programming interface that mention keywords related to COVID-19. We applied handwritten regular expressions to identify tweets indicating that the user potentially has been exposed to COVID-19. We automatically filtered out "reported speech" (eg, quotations, news headlines) from the tweets that matched the regular expressions, and two annotators annotified in this study, along with each tweet's time stamp and US state-level geolocation, publicly available to download. This data set presents the opportunity for future work to assess the utility of Twitter data as a complementary resource for tracking the spread of COVID-19.
We have made the 13,714 tweets identified in this study, along with each tweet's time stamp and US state-level geolocation, publicly available to download. This data set presents the opportunity for future work to assess the utility of Twitter data as a complementary resource for tracking the spread of COVID-19.In this article, finite-time-prescribed performance-based adaptive fuzzy control is considered for a class of strict-feedback systems in the presence of actuator faults and dynamic disturbances. To deal with the difficulties associated with the actuator faults and external disturbance, an adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control strategy is introduced. Different from the existing controller design methods, a modified performance function, which is called the finite-time performance function (FTPF), is presented. It is proved that the presented controller can ensure all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error converges to a predetermined region in finite time. The effectiveness of the presented control scheme is verified through the simulation results.This article investigates input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral ISS (iISS) of nonlinear impulsive systems based on the event-triggered impulsive control (ETIC) strategy, where the impulse sequence is generated by some predesigned event conditions. Unlike traditional event-triggered control, ETIC means that the controller is activated only when some state-dependent event conditions are triggered and moreover, there is not any control transmission between two consecutive triggered impulse instants. Event-triggered impulses are usually regarded as a class of state-dependent impulses, where the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is an impulse generator. By using the ETIC strategy, some Lyapunov-based criteria are established, which can effectively avoid infinitely fast triggering behavior and guarantee ISS/iISS of nonlinear impulsive systems. Then, the theoretical results are applied to nonlinear system, where a class of ETMs and impulsive control gain are derived with the help of LMIs. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validity of our control strategies.In this survey, various concepts and methodologies developed over the past two decades for varying and learning the impedance or admittance of robotic systems that physically interact with humans are explored. For this purpose, the assumptions and mathematical formulations for the online adjustment of impedance models and controllers for physical human-robot interaction (HRI) are categorized and compared. In this systematic review, studies on 1) variation and 2) learning of appropriate impedance elements are taken into account. These strategies are classified and described in terms of their objectives, points of view (approaches), and signal requirements (including position, HRI force, and electromyography activity). Different methods involving linear/nonlinear analyses (e.g., optimal control design and nonlinear Lyapunov-based stability guarantee) and the Gaussian approximation algorithms (e.g., Gaussian mixture model-based and dynamic movement primitives-based strategies) are reviewed. Current challenges and research trends in physical HRI are finally discussed.Inspired by the continuous opinion and discrete action (CODA) model, bounded confidence and social networks, the bounded confidence evolution of opinions and actions in social networks is investigated and a social network opinions and actions evolutions (SNOAEs) model is proposed. In the SNOAE model, it is assumed that each agent has a CODA for a certain issue. see more Agents' opinions are private and invisible, that is, an individual agent only knows its own opinion and cannot obtain other agents' opinions unless there is a social network connection edge that allows their communication; agents' actions are public and visible to all agents and impact other agents' actions. Opinions and actions evolve in a directed social network. In the limitation of the bounded confidence, other agents' actions or agents' opinions noticed or obtained by network communication, respectively, are used by agents to update their opinions. Based on the SNOAE model, the evolution of the opinions and actions with bounded confidence is investigated in social networks both theoretically and experimentally with a detailed simulation analysis. Theoretical research results show that discrete actions can attract agents who trust the discrete action, and make agents to express extreme opinions. Simulation experiments results show that social network connection probability, bounded confidence, and the opinion threshold of action choice parameters have strong impacts on the evolution of opinions and actions. However, the number of agents in the social network has no obvious influence on the evolution of opinions and actions.The searching ability of the population-based search algorithms strongly relies on the coordinate system on which they are implemented. However, the widely used coordinate systems in the existing multifactorial optimization (MFO) algorithms are still fixed and might not be suitable for various function landscapes with differential modalities, rotations, and dimensions; thus, the intertask knowledge transfer might not be efficient. Therefore, this article proposes a novel intertask knowledge transfer strategy for MFOs implemented upon an active coordinate system that is established on a common subspace of two search spaces. The proper coordinate system might identify some common modality in a proper subspace to some extent. In this article, to seek the intermediate subspace, we innovatively introduce the geodesic flow that starts from a subspace, reaching another subspace in unit time. A low-dimension intermediate subspace is drawn from a uniform distribution defined on the geodesic flow, and the corresponding coordinate system is given. The intertask trial generation method is applied to the individuals by first projecting them on the low-dimension subspace, which reveals the important invariant features of the multiple function landscapes. Since intermediate subspace is generated from the major eigenvectors of tasks' spaces, this model turns out to be intrinsically regularized by neglecting the minor and small eigenvalues. Therefore, the transfer strategy can alleviate the influence of noise led by redundant dimensions. The proposed method exhibits promising performance in the experiments.In this article, an event-driven output feedback control approach is proposed for discrete-time systems with unknown mismatched disturbances. To estimate the unavailable states and disturbances, a reduced-order extended state functional observer is proposed, and by introducing an event-driven scheduler, the ZOH-based event-driven output feedback disturbance rejection controller is designed, and the stability and disturbance rejection analyses are performed. To further save the network resources, the predictive event-driven output feedback disturbance rejection control approach is proposed, and the stability and disturbance rejection analyses of the systems with predictive control are also conducted. It can be shown that the disturbances are compensated completely in output channels of the systems, and compared with the time-driven control schemes. And event-triggering frequency is greatly reduced with the proposed event-driven control methods. Finally, the effectiveness of the provided control approaches is demonstrated by numerical simulations.Gaussian process classification (GPC) provides a flexible and powerful statistical framework describing joint distributions over function space. Conventional GPCs, however, suffer from 1) poor scalability for big data due to the full kernel matrix and 2) intractable inference due to the non-Gaussian likelihoods. Hence, various scalable GPCs have been proposed through 1) the sparse approximation built upon a small inducing set to reduce the time complexity and 2) the approximate inference to derive analytical evidence lower bound (ELBO). However, these scalable GPCs equipped with analytical ELBO are limited to specific likelihoods or additional assumptions. In this work, we present a unifying framework that accommodates scalable GPCs using various likelihoods. Analogous to GP regression (GPR), we introduce additive noises to augment the probability space for 1) the GPCs with step, (multinomial) probit, and logit likelihoods via the internal variables and 2) particularly, the GPC using softmax likelihood via the noise variables themselves. This leads to unified scalable GPCs with analytical ELBO by using variational inference. link2 Empirically, our GPCs showcase superiority on extensive binary/multiclass classification tasks with up to two million data points.In this article, a delay-compensation-based state estimation (DCBSE) method is given for a class of discrete time-varying complex networks (DTVCNs) subject to network-induced incomplete observations (NIIOs) and dynamical bias. The NIIOs include the communication delays and fading observations, where the fading observations are modeled by a set of mutually independent random variables. Moreover, the possible bias is taken into account, which is depicted by a dynamical equation. A predictive scheme is proposed to compensate for the influences induced by the communication delays, where the predictive-based estimation mechanism is adopted to replace the delayed estimation transmissions. This article focuses on the problems of estimation method design and performance discussions for addressed DTVCNs with NIIOs and dynamical bias. link3 In particular, a new distributed state estimation approach is presented, where a locally minimized upper bound is obtained for the estimation error covariance matrix and a recursive way is designed to determine the estimator gain matrix.
