k-Median近似计算复杂度与局部搜索近似算法分析

k-Median问题的近似算法研究一直是计算机科学工作者关注的焦点,现有研究结果大多是关于欧式空间和Metric空间的,一般距离空间k-Median的结果多年来一直未见.考虑一般距离空间k-Median问题,设d_max/d_min表示k-Median实例中与客户点邻接的最长边长比最短边长的最大者.首先证明d_max/d_min≤ω+ε的k-Median问题不存在近似度小于1+ω-1/e的多项式时间近似算法,除非,由此推出Metric k-Median问题不可近似到1+2/e,除非NP(∈)DTME(N^{O(log logn)}).然后给出k-Median问题的一个局部搜索算法,分析表明,若有d_max/d_min≤ω,则算法的近似度为1+ω-1/2.该结果亦适用于Metric k-Median,ω≤5时,局部搜索算法求解Metric k-Median的近似度为3,好于现有结果3+2/P.通过计算机实验,进一步研究了k-Median局部搜索求解算法的实际计算效果和该算法的改进方法.

RB模型实例集上置信传播算法的收敛性

置信传播算法求解RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型实例时非常有效,几乎能够有效求解接近可满足性相变点的难解实例.然而,因子图带有回路的实例,置信传播算法不总有效,常表现为不收敛.对于这种现象,至今缺少系统的理论解释.置信传播算法是最为基础的信息传播算法,对置信传播算法的收敛性分析是其他信息传播算法收敛性分析的重要基础.在RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型中,取k=2,α>（1/k）,r_c>0均为常数,且满足ke^{-（α/（r_c））}≥1.证明了如果p∈（0,n^-2α）,则置信传播算法在RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型产生的随机实例集上高概率收敛.最后,在RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型上选取了几组不同的数据进行数值模拟,实验结果表明该结论有效.当问题规模n增大时,在RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型的可满足区域,实验收敛区间趋于一个固定范围,而理论收敛区间逐渐变窄.原因在于,RB（k,n,α,r_c,p）模型是一个具有增长定义域的随机CSP实例产生模型,不协调赋值的数目与参数p及问题规模n有关.     

独立多处理机任务静态调度问题的近似算法

研究独立多处理机任务静态调度问题P_m|fix|C_max,即在m个处理机系统中调度n个多处理机任务,每个任务指派到所需一组处理机上不可剥夺地执行.该问题应用广泛但早已证明为NP难问题,而且也不存在常数近似算法.分析了问题P_m|fix|C_max和其中所有任务都是单位处理机时间的特殊情形P_m|fix,p=1|C_max的调度,并利用实例划分(split scheduling,简称SS)、首次满足优先(first fit,简称FF)和最大宽度优先(large wide first,简称LWF)等方法,构造了问题P_m|fix,p=1|C_max的√2m +1近似算法和问题P_m|fix|C_max的2√m 近似算法,优于目前已有文献的最好结果.     

Lp范数约束的多核半监督支持向量机学习方法

在机器学习领域,核方法是解决非线性模式识别问题的一种有效手段.目前,用多核学习方法代替传统的单核学习已经成为一个新的研究热点,它在处理异构、不规则和分布不平坦的样本数据情况下,表现出了更好的灵活性、可解释性以及更优异的泛化性能.结合有监督学习中的多核学习方法,提出了基于L_p范数约束的多核半监督支持向量机(semi-supervised support vector machine,简称S³VM)的优化模型.该模型的待优化参数包括高维空间的决策函数f_m和核组合权系数θm.同时,该模型继承了单核半监督支持向量机的非凸非平滑特性.采用双层优化过程来优化这两组参数,并采用改进的拟牛顿法和基于成对标签交换的局部搜索算法分别解决模型关于f_m的非平滑及非凸问题,以得到模型近似最优解.在多核框架中同时加入基本核和流形核,以充分利用数据的几何性质.实验结果验证了算法的有效性及较好的泛化性能.

有中断时间代价的一致并行机抢先调度问题

提出了一种具有中断时间代价的抢先调度问题(P|ptmn(δ)|C_max):在抢先调度中,一个任务发生一次中断,其总的执行时间会增加一个δ.该问题在工程任务分配、分布式计算和网络通信等实际问题中有着广泛的应用背景.证明了这是一个NP-hard问题,给出了一个时间复杂度为O(nlogn+m)的脱线近似算法LPT-Wrap,其近似比小于等于1.40825,并分析了P|ptmn(δ)|C_max的在线特性,给出一个线性时间复杂度的在线近似算法,其竞争比为2.     

数据仓库系统中层次式Cube存储结构

区域查询是数据仓库上支持联机分析处理(on-line analytical processing,简称OLAP)的重要操作.近几年,人们提出了一些支持区域查询和数据更新的Cube存储结构.然而这些存储结构的空间复杂性和时间复杂性都很高,难以在实际中使用.为此,提出了一种层次式Cube存储结构HDC(hierarchical data cube)及其上的相关算法.HDC上区域查询的代价和数据更新代价均为O(log^dn),综合性能为O((logn)^2d)(使用C_qC_u模型)或O(K(logn)^d)(使用C_qn_q+C_un_u模型).理论分析与实验表明,HDC的区域查询代价、数据更新代价、空间代价以及综合性能都优于目前所有的Cube存储结构.     

基于模糊最大散度差判别准则的聚类方法

基于最大散度差判别准则提出了一种模糊最大散度差准则,并根据模糊最大散度差准则提出一种聚类方法(fuzzy maximum scatter difference discriminant criterion based clustering algorithm,简称FMSDC).该方法通过迭代优化方法实现聚类的同时还可以实现特征降维.该方法首先在最大散度差判别准则中引入模糊概念;然后通过具体原则设定模糊最大散度差判别准则中的参数η,从而在一定程度上降低了由参数η引起的敏感性;最后分别根据模糊隶属度μ_ik、最优鉴别矢量ω进行聚类和特征降维.实验结果表明,FMSDC方法不但具有基本的聚类功能,而且具有较好的鲁棒性和较强的特征降维能力.     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
