Collaborative filtering based talent development algorithm in sustainable modern logistics management project

ABSTRACT Logistics is crucial to the global economy, but traditional logistics management models have issues such as low informationization, single structures, low efficiency, and insufficient recommendation accuracy. This study aims to improve personalized recommendation in logistics management using the collaborative filtering algorithm and comparing it with Logistic Regression (LR) and Factorization Machine (FM) algorithms. The modified cosine similarity calculation method had the lowest absolute error at 0.91. After improving the algorithm, the PR value increased to 0.9952, showing a better balance between accuracy and recall. Combining the improved collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm with the actual logistics management model resulted in higher accuracy in personalized recommendations to users. The accuracy also increased with the number of recommended companies. Overall, the improved algorithm showed promising effectiveness and feasibility in the context of logistics management.

Runtime Verification-Based Safe MARL for Optimized Safety Policy Generation for Multi-Robot Systems

The intelligent warehouse is a modern logistics management system that uses technologies like the Internet of Things, robots, and artificial intelligence to realize automated management and optimize warehousing operations. The multi-robot system (MRS) is an important carrier for implementing an intelligent warehouse, which completes various tasks in the warehouse through cooperation and coordination between robots. As an extension of reinforcement learning and a kind of swarm intelligence, MARL (multi-agent reinforcement learning) can effectively create the multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses. However, MARL-based multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses face serious safety issues, such as collisions, conflicts, and congestion. To deal with these issues, this paper proposes a safe MARL method based on runtime verification, i.e., an optimized safety policy-generation framework, for multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses. The framework consists of three stages. In the first stage, a runtime model SCMG (safety-constrained Markov Game) is defined for the multi-robot system at runtime in the intelligent warehouse. In the second stage, rPATL (probabilistic alternating-time temporal logic with rewards) is used to express safety properties, and SCMG is cyclically verified and refined through runtime verification (RV) to ensure safety. This stage guarantees the safety of robots’ behaviors before training. In the third stage, the verified SCMG guides SCPO (safety-constrained policy optimization) to obtain an optimized safety policy for robots. Finally, a multi-robot warehouse (RWARE) scenario is used for experimental evaluation. The results show that the policy obtained by our framework is safer than existing frameworks and includes a certain degree of optimization.

Optimizing Production Supply Chain With Markov Jump System for Logistics Collaboration

This study employs a novel Markov jump system model to address complexities and uncertainties in modern logistics management, particularly in supply chain logistics information networks. It introduces dynamic memory to tackle issues in traditional static networks, enabling modeling and control of this intricate system. By assessing decision node importance, a novel strategy optimization method is devised. Through information exchange and decision adjustments among cooperating nodes, the overall decision system performance is enhanced, resulting in a comprehensive logistics information coordination mechanism for production supply chains based on the Markov jump system. The research demonstrates that this approach considers node interactions and information exchange, using dynamic memory to improve system adaptability and robustness, ultimately enhancing overall decision performance and stability. This has practical value for decision support and system optimization in production supply chain logistics information networks, offering fresh insights into Markov jump system control.

Bar Image Identification Based on Laplacian Eigenmap and Fuzzy SVM

Bar code image recognition is a key technology in modern logistics management. An efficient identification system is built based on manifold learning and fuzzy SVM. By integrating the fractal image segmentation technology, it realizes high automatic classification and identification of bar code image. At first, the authors conduct the preprocessing of the collected code image, including three steps, tilt correction, image binarization based on globally dynamic threshold, and fractal segmentation technology. Then, a graph-based fuzzy support vector machine is proposed to realize the high accuracy classification and identification. Experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed method is higher than other compared methods in both pure and noisy samples, reaching 96.6% and 94.5%. And no huge decrease exists when some noise is added to the pure dataset, and the percentage is only 2.1%, which is much lower than the drop of other methods. It shows that the proposed method can significantly promote the identification accuracy, the generalization, and robustness to noise.

Just-in-Time Imperialism: The Logistics Revolution and the Vietnam War

In this article, I argue that an important yet understudied consequence of the Vietnam War was an imperial turn toward modern logistics management. Drawing on archival documents collected from the National Archives and Records Administration, I track how the U.S. military and the U.S. Agency for International Development increasingly championed logistics management as a way of solving some of the “frictional” supply problems that threatened to paralyze the transnational war effort in South Vietnam. As part of this process, imperial agents cobbled together various infrastructures of supply and provision into a broader, more complex system for managing the transpacific flow of life-sustaining and life-eliminating commodities between the United States and South Vietnam. In this way, the Vietnam War served the U.S. empire-state as an experimental laboratory for repurposing logistics from a capitalist science of economic management into an imperial technology of rule and pacification.

The Lifelines of Empire: Logistics as Infrastructural Power in Occupied South Vietnam

In this essay, I argue that an important yet understudied consequence of the Vietnam War was an imperial turn toward modern logistics management. I track how the US empire-state used the war as a crucible for forging new hybridizations of military and corporate logistics. Over the course of the war, imperial forces assembled a transpacific infrastructure for managing the just-in-time flows of commodities and bodies between the United States and South Vietnam. Drawing on prior US imperial experiences in Korea and the Philippines, American supply chain managers recruited a multinational workforce of Vietnamese, South Korean, and Filipinx nationals to labor along transpacific supply chains. I read archival sources to track how supply chain managers enmeshed these logistics workers in regimes of slow violence and death. As the war dragged on, logistics workers struggled to dismantle these sociospatial infrastructures of exploitation, devalorization, attrition, and control. What emerged out of this frictional politics of encounter was the blueprint for a new, more just-in-time form of imperialism.
