Advances in Zeroing Neural Networks: Bio-Inspired Structures, Performance Enhancements, and Applications by Yufei Wang, Cheng Hua, Ameer Hamza Khan

“…Zeroing neural networks (ZNN), as a specialized class of bio-Iinspired neural networks, emulate the adaptive mechanisms of biological systems, allowing for continuous adjustments in response to external variations. Compared to traditional numerical methods and common neural networks (such as gradient-based and recurrent neural networks), this adaptive capability enables the ZNN to rapidly and accurately solve time-varying problems. …”

Camera-Adaptive Foreign Object Detection for Coal Conveyor Belts by Furong Peng, Kangjiang Hao, Xuan Lu

“…CAFOD incorporates three main strategies: (1) Multi-View Data Augmentation (MVDA) simulates viewpoint variations during training, enabling the model to learn robust, viewpoint-invariant features; (2) Context Feature Perception (CFP) integrates local coal background information to reduce false detections outside the conveyor belt; and (3) Conveyor Belt Area Loss (CBAL) enforces explicit attention to the conveyor belt region, minimizing background interference. …”
