Musculoskeletal models have been widely used for detailed biomechanical analysis to characterise various functional impairments given their ability estimate movement variables (i.e., muscle forces and joint moments) which cannot be readily measured in vivo. Physics-based computational neuromusculoskeletal can interpret the dynamic interaction between neural drive muscles, dynamics, body kinematics kinetics. Still, such set of solutions suffers from slowness, especially complex models,...

A novel algorithm which combined the merits of clustering strategy and compressive sensing-based (CS-based) scheme was proposed in this paper. The lemmas for relationship between any two adjacent layers, optimal size clusters, distribution cluster head (CH), corresponding proofs were presented first. In addition, to alleviate "hot spot problem" reduce energy consumption resulted from rotation role CHs, a third backup CH (BCH) as well mechanism rotate roles BCH proposed. Subsequently,...

Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have drawn increasing attention in recent years and achieved outstanding performance many tasks. However, despite their wide use, there is currently no understanding of robustness to adversarial attacks. In this work, we first systematically study the HGNNs show that they can be easily fooled by adding edge between target node large-degree (i.e., hub). Furthermore, two key reasons for such vulnerability HGNNs: one perturbation enlargement effect,...
