Unsupervised regions based segmentation using object discovery

We present a new unsupervised algorithm to discovery and segment out common objects from multiple images. Compared with previous cosegmentation methods, our algorithm performs well even when the appearance variations in the foregrounds are more substantial than those in some areas of the backgrounds. Our algorithm mainly includes two parts: the foreground object discovery scheme and the iterative region allocation algorithm. Two terms, a region-saliency prior and a region-repeatness measure, are introduced in the foreground object discovery scheme to detect the foregrounds without any supervisory information. The iterative region allocation algorithm searches the optimal solution for the final segmentation with the constraints from a maximal spanning tree, and an effective color-based model is utilized during this process. The comparative experimental results show that the proposed algorithm matches or outperforms several previous methods on several standard datasets.

Development of PCA-based cluster quantile regression (PCA-CQR) framework for streamflow prediction: Application to the Xiangxi river watershed,China

In this study, a PCA-based cluster quantile regression (PCA-CQR) method was proposed through integrating principal component analysis and quantile regression approaches into a stepwise cluster analysis framework. In detail, the principal component analysis was adopted to overcome the multicollinearity among the explanatory variables, while the quantile regression approach was used to provide probabilistic information in prediction. The proposed PCA-CQR method can effectively capture discrete and nonlinear relationships between explanatory and response variables. The applicability of PCA-CQR was demonstrated by a case study of monthly streamflow prediction in the Xiangxi River, China. The nonlinearity between the hydro-meteorological variables and the streamflow measurements was characterized through the measure of maximal information coefficient (MIC), which demonstrated the need of the proposed PCA-CQR method. The results showed that the previous monthly streamflow and precipitation, as well as potential evapotranspiration in current month posed significant nonlinear impacts on the streamflow in current month. Three components could well reflect the total variance of the input variables. Comparison between traditional SCA and PCA-CQR showed that the proposed approach could provide more accurate predictions than traditional SCA methods. Moreover, probabilistic forecasts could be provided by PCA-CQR, and the 90% predictive intervals could well bracket the observations in both calibration and validation periods. Also, sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the impacts of the control parameters in PCA-CQR on the performance of the proposed model. The results showed the proposed PCA-CQR improved the robustness of traditional SCA. Finally, comparison among PCA-CQR, GRNN and MLR also showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Application Aware Topology Generation for Surface Wave Networks-on-Chip

The networks-on-chip （NoC） communication has an increasingly larger impact on the system power consumption and performance. Emerging technologies, like surface wave, are believed to have lower transmission latency and power consumption over the conventional wireless NoC. Therefore, this paper studies how to optimize the network performance and power consumption by giving the packet-switching fabric and traffic pattern of each application. Compared with the conventional method of wire-linked, which adds wireless transceivers by using the genetic algorithm （GA）, the proposed maximal declining sorting algorithm （MDSA） can effectively reduce time consumption by as much as 20.4% to 35.6%. We also evaluate the power consumption and configuration time to prove the effective of the proposed algorithm.

Maximal covering location problem with price decision for revenue maximization in a competitive environment

In this article, we extend the classical maximal covering model in a competitive environment by including a price decision. We formulate a revenue maximization model and propose two procedures to solve it. By a careful examination of the relationships between the maximal covering problems for different prices, we reveal interesting properties of the deduced revenue maximization model, leading to a full enumeration solution approach. With the help of two more properties we develop a second, more intelligent solution procedure. Computational experiments show promising results for a small, medium and large case study.
