We propose a novel online multiple object tracker taking structure information into account. State-of-the-art multi-object tracking (MOT) approaches commonly focus on discriminative appearance features, while neglect in different levels structure information and the core of data association. Addressing this, we design a new tracker fully exploiting structure information and encoding such information into the cost function of the graph matching model. Firstly, a new measurement is proposed to compare the structure similarity of two graphs whose nodes are equal. With this measurement, we define a complete matching which performs association in high efficiency. Secondly, for incomplete matching scenarios, a structure keeper net (SKnet) is designed to adaptively establish the graph for matching. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on benchmarks including MOT2015 and MOT17. The results demonstrate the competitiveness and practicability of our tracker.
In recent years, consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces such as eBay and Taobao have adopted a component rating system, and run it simultaneously with but independent of a binary rating system. This paper investigates the extent to which binary rating and component rating systems are able to provide consistent signals of sellers?? quality, focusing on the reputation system design under the Chinese context. Using field data from Taobao, we performed canonical correlation analyses and found that the reputation signals of the two systems are generally correlated. As expected, negative and neutral ratings accurately reveal buyer dissatisfaction. Our results, however, show that positive ratings exhibit negative correlations with the three component ratings (i.e., item-as-described, customer service, and on-time delivery), suggesting that large numbers of positive ratings on Taobao may encourage trust in the platform but do not help to choose credible sellers. Our results elucidate the role of cultural difference in explaining the negative relationship in China and provide important implications for the design of reputation systems. 相似文献
Since Boolean network is a powerful tool in describing the genetic regulatory networks, accompanying the development of systems biology, the analysis and control of Boolean networks have attracted much attention from biologists, physicists, and systems scientists. From mathematical point of view, the dynamics of a Boolean (control) network is a discrete-time logical dynamic process. This paper surveys a recently developed technique, called the algebraic approach, based on semi-tensor product. The new technique can deal with not only Boolean networks, which allow each node to take two values, but also k-valued networks, which allow each node to take k different values, and mix-valued networks, which allow nodes to take different numbers of values.The paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the new technique, including (1) mathematical background of this new technique – semi-tensor product of matrices and the matrix expression of logic; (2) dynamic models of Boolean networks, and general (multi- or mix-valued) logical networks; (3) the topological structure of Boolean networks and general networks; (4) the basic control problems of Boolean/general control networks, which include the controllability, observability, realization, stability and stabilization, disturbance decoupling, identification and optimization, etc.; (5) some other related applications. 相似文献
Network traffic classification is the basis of many network technologies including intrusion detection, traffic scheduling, and quality of service. Given the limitations of existing classification approaches based on the port number, the packet-payload and statistical characteristics of network traffic, in this paper we propose a novel classification method via a hidden Markov model. With the analysis about the time series characteristics and statistical properties of network traffic, we use a hidden Markov model to model for a type of traffic under the guidance of syntactic structure of it. And then a classification approach is presented based on the model. Experiment results on several typical network applications indicate that the combination of time series characteristics and the statistical properties not only make the established model more precise, but also improve the accuracy of network traffic classification. 相似文献
