基于欧氏空间相似度的云模型协同过滤算法

传统的基于余弦相似度度量的云模型协同过滤推荐算法未考虑特征向量的长度和维度,忽略了三个重要数字特征云期望、熵和超熵的关系,如各数字特征具有不同的性质和权重,导致特征丢失、区分度过小的问题。针对这些问题,提出了一种采用标准化的多维欧几里德相似度计算方法,通过将三个数字特征映射为三维空间的点,计算经指数函数标准化的欧几里德相似度,生成更合理的用户k近邻集,最终产生推荐。实验结果表明,该相似度计算方法能够为云特征向量提供更显著的区分度,并在一定程度上提高了推荐质量。     

Evalvid-RA: trace driven simulation of rate adaptive MPEG-4 VBR video

Due to the increasing deployment of conversational real-time applications like VoIP and videoconferencing, the Internet is today facing new challenges. Low end-to-end delay is a vital QoS requirement for these applications, and the best effort Internet architecture does not support this natively. The delay and packet loss statistics are directly coupled to the aggregated traffic characteristics when link utilization is close to saturation. In order to investigate the behavior and quality of such applications under heavy network load, it is therefore necessary to create genuine traffic patterns. Trace files of real compressed video and audio are text files containing the number of bytes per video and audio frame. These can serve as material to construct mathematical traffic models. They can also serve as traffic generators in network simulators since they determine the packet sizes and their time schedule. However, to inspect perceived quality, the compressed binary content is needed to ensure decoding of received media. The EvalVid streaming video tool-set enables this using a sophisticated reassembly engine. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of research solutions for rate adaptive media content. The Internet community fears a congestion collapse if the usage of non-adaptive media content continues to grow. This paper presents a solution named Evalvid-RA for the simulation of true rate adaptive video. The solution generates real rate adaptive MPEG-4 streaming traffic, using the quantizer scale for adjusting the sending rate. A feedback based VBR rate controller is used at simulation time, supporting TFRC and a proprietary congestion control system named P-AQM. Example ns-2 simulations of TFRC and P-AQM demonstrate Evalvid-RA’s capabilities in performing close-to-true rate adaptive codec operation with low complexity to enable the simulation of large networks with many adaptive media sources on a single computer.     

Regulation of Polymer Configurations Enables Green Solvent-Processed Large-Area Binary All-Polymer Solar Cells With Breakthrough Performance and High Efficiency Stretchability Factor

With the great potential of the all-polymer solar cells for large-area wearable devices, both large-area device efficiency and mechanical flexibility are very critical but attract limited attention. In this work, from the perspective of the polymer configurations, two types of terpolymer acceptors PYTX-A and PYTX-B (X = Cl or H) are developed. The configuration difference caused by the replacement of non-conjugated units results in distinct photovoltaic performance and mechanical flexibility. Benefiting from a good match between the intrinsically slow film-forming of the active materials and the technically slow film-forming of the blade-coating process, the toluene-processed large-area (1.21 cm²) binary device achieves a record efficiency of 14.70%. More importantly, a new parameter of efficiency stretchability factor (ESF) is proposed for the first time to comprehensively evaluate the overall device performance. PM6:PYTCl-A and PM6:PYTCl-B yield significantly higher ESF than PM6:PY-IT. Further blending with non-conjugated polymer donor PM6-A, the best ESF of 3.12% is achieved for PM6-A:PYTCl-A, which is among the highest comprehensive performances.     

基于GMM的多工况过程监测方法

传统基于主元分析的故障检测方法大多假设工业过程只运行在1个稳定工况,数据服从单一的高斯分布。若这些方法直接用于多工况过程则将会产生大量的误检。为此,本文提出了1种基于高斯混合模型的多工况过程监测方法。首先利用PCA变换对过程数据集进行降维,在主元空间建立高斯混合模型对过程数据进行聚类,自动获取工况数和相关分布特性。然后对每个工况建立主元分析(principal component analysis,PCA)模型来描述整个运行过程数据分布的统计特性。最后在过程监测中,根据监测样本属于各个工况的概率构造综合统计量,实现对多工况过程的故障检测。TE过程的仿真结果表明,本文提出的方法与传统的PCA方法相比,能自动获取工况和精确估计各个工况的统计特性,从而能更准确及时地检测出多工况过程的各种故障。

Audio Keywords Discovery for Text-Like Audio Content Analysis and Retrieval

Inspired by classical text document analysis employing the concept of (key) words, this paper presents an unsupervised approach to discover (key) audio elements in general audio documents. The (key) audio elements can be considered the equivalents of the text (key) words, and enable content-based audio analysis and retrieval following the analogy to the proven text analysis theories and methods. Since general audio signals usually show complicated and strongly varying distribution and density in the feature space, we propose an iterative spectral clustering method with context-dependent scaling factors to decompose an audio data stream into audio elements. Using this clustering method, temporal signal segments with similar low-level features are grouped into natural clusters that we adopt as audio elements. To detect those audio elements that are most representative for the semantic content, that is, the key audio elements, two cases are considered. First, if only one audio document is available for analysis, a number of heuristic importance indicators are defined and employed to detect the key audio elements. For the case that multiple audio documents are available, more sophisticated measures for audio element importance, including expected term frequency (ETF), expected inverse document frequency (EIDF), expected term duration (ETD) and expected inverse document duration (EIDD), are proposed. Our experiments showed encouraging results regarding the quality of the obtained (key) audio elements and their potential applicability for content-based audio document analysis and retrieval.     

Threshold-Based Dynamic Replication in Large-Scale Video-on-Demand Systems

Recent advances in high speed networking technologies and video compression techniques have made Video-on-Demand (VOD) services feasible. A large-scale VOD system imposes a large demand on I/O bandwidth and storage resources, and therefore, parallel disks are typically used for providing VOD service. Although striping of movie data across a large number of disks can balance the utilization among these disks, such a striping technique can exhibit additional complexity, for instance, in data management, such as synchronization among disks during data delivery, as well as in supporting fault tolerant behavior. Therefore, it is more practical to limit the extent of data striping, for example, by arranging the disks in groups (or nodes) and then allowing intra-group (or intra-node) data striping only. With multiple striping groups, however, we may need to assign a movie to multiple nodes so as to satisfy the total demand of requests for that movie. Such an approach gives rise to several design issues, including: (1) what is the right number of copies of each movie we need so as to satisfy the demand and at the same time not waste storage capacity, (2) how to assign these movies to different nodes in the system, and (3) what are efficient approaches to altering the number of copies of each movie (and their placement) when the need for that arises. In this paper, we study an approach to dynamically reconfiguring the VOD system so as to alter the number of copies of each movie maintained on the server as the access demand for these movies fluctuates. We propose various approaches to addressing the above stated issues, which result in a VOD design that is adaptive to the changes in data access patterns. Performance evaluation is carried out to quantify the costs and the performance gains of these techniques.
