TFSM‐based dialogue management model framework for affective dialogue systems

A new dialogue management model for affective dialogue system, which aims to provide a service of information inquiry and affective interaction, is proposed in this paper. First, we construct two finite state machines (TFSM) to model the user and the system, respectively, and simulate the dialogue process as an information exchange between the two state machines. All possible state transitions in dialogue and its probabilities of the user are summarized as a user model, which is helpful for the system to inference and predict the user's internal states. Second, we further discuss the implementation methods of information inquiry and emotional response modules. Finally, we employ the return function of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) model to analyze and evaluate the TFSM‐based dialogue management model. The experimental results not only show the relationships between the average returns, recognition error rates, and state transition probabilities but also confirm that our TFSM‐based dialogue management model outperforms the conventional FSM model. © 2015 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Self‐adaptive 3D pairwise view registration by surface‐fitting and hill‐climbing method

A self‐adaptive 3D pairwise view registration method is presented. Coarse registration of neighboring views is achieved according to their common continuous nonflat areas. These areas are calculated by local least‐square (LS) surface fitting. Then, the principle of point‐to‐surface projection is used to search for the corresponding points, where the local moving least‐square (MLS) surface is employed. Finally, multidimensional optimization based on the technique of hill‐climbing is performed to refine the coarse registration. Experimental results show that this method gives good noise immunity and requires simple computation process and very few manual interventions. Thus it is suitable for large‐scale free‐form surfaces lacking obvious geometric characteristics. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Exploiting opinion distribution for topic recommendation in Twitter

The popular social networking service Twitter provides rapidly updated information and online trends, which enriches and benefits people's daily life. At the same time, how to find out the really interesting and relevant topics from the massive streams of tweets, to provide precise topic recommendation for users, becomes a challenging problem in the real world. Previous collaborative filtering methods give solutions to traditional recommendation tasks considering users' positive reviews to help recommend items. However, to the problem ‘what is interesting to whom’ in Twitter, positive opinions toward a topic do not imply that the user will be interested in it with high probability, for the user probably prefers to know those controversial topics or hot events with a large number of negative posts. In this paper, we exploit the characteristics of topical opinion distribution for improving the performance of recommendation. The experimental results on a real‐world Twitter dataset show that the proposed opinion‐distribution‐aware topic recommendation (ODA‐TR) approach outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art collaborative recommendation methods. © 2015 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

A dynamic paging scheme for long‐term evolution mobility management

In long‐term evolution, the service area is partitioned into several tracking areas (TAs), which comprise one or more cells (the radio coverages of base stations). The TAs are grouped into TA list (TAL). When an incoming call arrives, the network attempts to connect to the user equipment (UE) by paging the cells in the UE's TAL, which may incur large paging traffic that significantly consumes the limited radio resources. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a dynamic paging scheme that determines the paging sequence of cells in real time according to the UE movement and call behavior. We compare the performance of the dynamic paging with that of the previously proposed Cell‐TA‐TAL (CTT) paging. Our study indicates that the dynamic paging outperforms the CTT paging when movement pattern is regular and the UE moves frequently. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Numerical study on PM10 collection efficiency in a wire-cylinder electrostatic precipitator under multi-field coupling

The PM10 collection efficiency of a wire-cylinder electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was studied by means of a developed mathematical model, including the multi-field coupling between the gas flow field, the particle dynamic field and the electric field, and applying the Deutsch–Anderson Equation. The diffusion charging mechanism was considered due to the diameter range of PM10. The investigated variables were the applied potential, the gas velocity and the particle distribution. Numerical results indicate that the diffusion charging has significant influence on PM10 removal performance and the effect is more obvious with the decreasing diameter, and that the PM10 collection efficiency increases with the increasing applied potential and the increment of collection efficiency is more significant at lower voltage. Moreover, as the gas velocity at inlet decreases, collection efficiency of PM10 will increase. Finally, the overall efficiency increases with increasing the mean diameter of particle distribution. The research results can provide theoretical and technical references for the design of novel ESP aiming at economy and environment protection.     

Altering protein conformation to improve fermentative hydrogen production from protein wastewater

One important reason for low hydrogen production from protein wastewater is due to the native folded conformation of protein. In this study the enhancement of bio-hydrogen production from protein wastewater by altering protein conformation via pretreatment was reported. Firstly, the effect of different pretreatment methods (acid, alkali, heat, and ultraviolet) on hydrogen production from synthetic protein wastewater was compared. The hydrogen production from the ultraviolet pretreated wastewater was 111.3 mL/g-protein, which was 3.79-, 3.73-, 3.54-, and 1.36-fold of that from the unpretreated (blank), acid, alkali, and heat pretreated wastewater, respectively. Then, the reasons for ultraviolet pretreatment showing significantly higher hydrogen production than other pretreatments were investigated. It was found that all pretreatments did not cause the cleavage of peptide bond, but the ultraviolet one caused much greater damage of hydrogen bonding networks and unfolding of protein. Thus, during anaerobic fermentation much higher protease activity and protein utilization were observed, which resulted in the bio-hydrogen production being remarkably improved. Further studies indicated that the photo-oxidization of aromatic residues in protein was not the reason for ultraviolet pretreatment remarkably improving bio-hydrogen production. Finally, the application of ultraviolet pretreatment to enhance hydrogen production from real protein wastewater was testified.
