Compressed sensing (CS) is a challenging problem in image processing due to reconstructing an almost complete image from a limited measurement. To achieve fast and accurate CS reconstruction, we synthesize the advantages of two well-known methods (neural network and optimization algorithm) to propose a novel optimization inspired neural network which dubbed AMP-Net. AMP-Net realizes the fusion of the Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithm and neural network. All of its parameters are learned automatically. Furthermore, we propose an AMPA-Net which uses three attention networks to improve the representation ability of AMP-Net. Finally, We demonstrate the effectiveness of AMP-Net and AMPA-Net on four standard CS reconstruction benchmark data sets. Our code is available on https://github.com/puallee/AMPA-Net.

A single agent represents a single system capable of ingesting local data, indexing, cataloging information, performing knowledge pattern discovery, and separating patterns and anomalies from data. Multiple agents work collaboratively in a peer-to-peer network. Each agent has a peer list. Such multiple agents' collaboration can be modeled as cooperative games. Each agent optimizes its own objective locally. We show that each agent self-organizes or converges to its best value and the whole agent network achieves the best social welfare based on both the quantum adiabatic evolution transformation (QAET), and quantum intelligence game (QIG) or the QAET-QIG framework. We apply the QAET-QIG framework to the kill web concept that can potentially improve the traditional kill chain process or the find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess (F2T2EA) process. The improvement is measured in the values of powerful global optimization, distributed lethality, and load balancing. We show a use case of the QAET-QIG frame in a potential application of mixed sensors, platforms, weapons, and effects.
