Experimental analysis of naïve Bayes classifier based on an attribute weighting framework with smooth kernel density estimations

Naïve Bayes learners are widely used, efficient, and effective supervised learning methods for labeled datasets in noisy environments. It has been shown that naïve Bayes learners produce reasonable performance compared with other machine learning algorithms. However, the conditional independence assumption of naïve Bayes learning imposes restrictions on the handling of real-world data. To relax the independence assumption, we propose a smooth kernel to augment weights for the likelihood estimation. We then select an attribute weighting method that uses the mutual information metric to cooperate with the proposed framework. A series of experiments are conducted on 17 UCI benchmark datasets to compare the accuracy of the proposed learner against that of other methods that employ a relaxed conditional independence assumption. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed learning algorithm. The overall results also indicate the superiority of attribute-weighting methods over those that attempt to determine the structure of the network.     

A quantitative optimisation model for a horizontal MEMS solid propellant thruster with experimental verification

This paper studies the effect of multiple geometric parameters of a micronozzle on a MEMS solid propellant thruster (MSPT) and establishes a quantitative optimisation model. Influences of the structural parameters of the micronozzle on performance are accurately calculated. The significance and contribution ratio of each parameter are evaluated by F distribution. Correspondingly, a horizontal MSPT is fabricated and tested to prove the optimisation model. In the implementation, a complete microigniter is formed by a single layer of Au, achieving an ultra-low ignition voltage of 2.1 V with an extremely low ignition resistance of 4 Ω.

A service recovery method to enhance customer satisfaction with a case study of motion sport game

Service recovery is a concept that involves regaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. Although existing studies have addressed its importance, few service recovery methodologies have been developed. Thus, there is a need to develop a systematic framework that can first detect customer status and then provide appropriate recovery recommendations to ensure customer satisfaction. This study develops such a framework in relation to an individual health maintenance practice. While regular moderate exercise is known to promote good health and help prevent disease, the lack of exercise remains a crucial health issue. This study presents a logistic regression model that uses both physiological data (heart rate and blood pressure) and psychological data (ratings of perceived exertion) to detect the effectiveness of an individual's exercise and to provide sports‐related service recovery suggestions as needed. To implement and assess this service recovery model, the use of a motion gaming system is proposed.     

A frame‐based EM‐simulation for design of LC oscillator with MoM capacitor banks

This article presents a simulation method for the design of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). Electromagnetic (EM) simulations are essential and inevitable for modern LC oscillator design. Although EM‐simulators provide high accuracy, the EM‐simulation time is very long when metal‐oxide‐metal (MoM) capacitors are present. The proposed frame‐based EM‐simulation can significantly reduce the EM‐simulation time even in the presence of MoM capacitors without influencing the accuracy. To verify the proposed method, a DCO was fabricated using a 55‐nm CMOS process. Measurements of the DCO are in good agreement with the frame‐based post‐layout simulation results. In addition, the DCO has good performances with a low power consumption of approximately 0.68 mW.     

Safe binary particle swam algorithm for an enhanced unsupervised label refinement in automatic face annotation

Mining web facial images on the internet has become as a profitable and important paradigm towards auto face annotation technique. The unsupervised label refinement (ULR) is an effective method that can fix weakly labeled facial images data which are collected from the internet and included some images with wrong label. In order to improve the correction accuracy of ULR, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) are used for solving binary constraint optimization task in this study. A novel method named safe binary particle swam optimization (SBPSO) is also proposed to improve BPSO which has the probability over range problem for using the ULR. In addition, SBPSO is also employed for an enhanced ULR (EULR) objective function which is created by modifying the original formula of ULR to improve the accuracy of labeled facial image. An experimental database is queried from IMDb website which collected the actors who were bored in 1950 to 1990. Some error flags are randomly added in the database for the correction tests by different methods. The results showed that the SBPSO Algorithm for the EULR in automatic face annotation have the better label correction rate and convergence effect.
