Research on the measure method of complaint theme influence on online social network

Consumer complaints on online social network quickly become online groups complaints through many people’s aggregation and looking on, interaction and word-of-mouth communication. Therefore, assessing and managing online complain influence has become a new problem for enterprise to listen to and manage online group complaints. This paper analyzed the complaint information feature of consumer group on online social network, from three-dimensional perspective of complaint text’s quality, transmission timeliness and user interaction degree. We built the influence measure model of online complaint theme based on entropy weight model by monitoring and analyzing real-time the static and dynamic properties of complaint information, explored the measure method of complaint theme influence, employed empirical method to verify the validity and provided scientific decision-making tools and methods for enterprise listening to and managing online group complains.     

Text classification using genetic algorithm oriented latent semantic features

In this paper, genetic algorithm oriented latent semantic features (GALSF) are proposed to obtain better representation of documents in text classification. The proposed approach consists of feature selection and feature transformation stages. The first stage is carried out using the state-of-the-art filter-based methods. The second stage employs latent semantic indexing (LSI) empowered by genetic algorithm such that a better projection is attained using appropriate singular vectors, which are not limited to the ones corresponding to the largest singular values, unlike standard LSI approach. In this way, the singular vectors with small singular values may also be used for projection whereas the vectors with large singular values may be eliminated as well to obtain better discrimination. Experimental results demonstrate that GALSF outperforms both LSI and filter-based feature selection methods on benchmark datasets for various feature dimensions.

H∞ filtering for discrete-time systems subject to stochastic missing measurements: a decomposition approach

This paper deals with the problem of H_∞ filtering for discrete-time systems with stochastic missing measurements. A new missing measurement model is developed by decomposing the interval of the missing rate into several segments. The probability of the missing rate in each subsegment is governed by its corresponding random variables. We aim to design a linear full-order filter such that the estimation error converges to zero exponentially in the mean square with a less conservatism while the disturbance rejection attenuation is constrained to a given level by means of an H_∞ performance index. Based on Lyapunov theory, the reliable filter parameters are characterised in terms of the feasibility of a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design approach.     

3D soft-tissue tracking using spatial-color joint probability distribution and thin-plate spline model

Visual tracking techniques based on stereo endoscope are developed to measure tissue motion in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. However, accurate 3D tracking of tissue surfaces remains challenging due to complicated deformation, poor imaging conditions, specular reflections and other dynamic effects during surgery. This study employs a robust and efficient 3D tracking scheme with two independent recursive processes, namely kernel-based inter-frame motion estimation and model-based intra-frame 3D matching. In the first process, target region is represented in joint spatial-color space for robust estimation. By defining a probabilistic similarity measure, a mean-shift-based iterative algorithm is derived for location of the target region in a new image. In the second process, the thin-plate spline model is used to fit the 3D shape of tissue surfaces around the target region. An iterative algorithm based on an efficient second-order minimization technique is derived to compute optimal model parameters. The two processes can be computed in parallel. Their outputs are combined to recover 3D information about the target region. The performance of the proposed method is validated using phantom heart videos and in vivo videos acquired by the daVinci^®${\mathrm{daVinci}}^{\circledR }$ surgical robotic platform and a synthesized data set with known ground truth.     

Probabilistic pseudo-morphology for grayscale and color images

Mathematical morphology offers popular image processing tools, successfully used for binary and grayscale images. Recently, its extension to color images has become of interest and several approaches were proposed. Due to various issues arising from the vectorial nature of the data, none of them imposed as a generally valid solution. We propose a probabilistic pseudo-morphological approach, by estimating two pseudo-extrema based on Chebyshev inequality. The framework embeds a parameter which allows controlling the linear versus non-linear behavior of the probabilistic pseudo-morphological operators. We compare our approach for grayscale images with the classical morphology and we emphasize the impact of this parameter on the results. Then, we extend the approach to color images, using principal component analysis. As validation criteria, we use the estimation of the color fractal dimension, color textured image segmentation and color texture classification. Furthermore, we compare our proposed method against two widely used approaches, one morphological and one pseudo-morphological.     

Distributed predictive control of continuous-time systems

In the last years focus has been put in the development of distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms. With a few exceptions, they have been mostly developed in the discrete-time framework. However, discretization of large-scale systems may destroy the sparsity of the original continuous-time models, making distributed control design and implementation more difficult. Also, more in general, discrete-time control of continuous-time systems does not allow to consider the process inter-sampling behavior. In this paper we present a novel non-cooperative distributed predictive control algorithm for continuous-time systems based on robust MPC concepts. The convergence properties of the proposed control scheme are stated, and its realizability is tested through a simulation case study.     

Decentralized control: Status and outlook

This paper reviews state of the art in the area of decentralized networked control systems with an emphasis on event-triggered approach. The models or agents with the dynamics of linear continuous-time time-invariant state-space systems are considered. They serve for the framework for network phenomena within two basic structures. The I/O-oriented systems as well as the interaction-oriented systems with disjoint subsystems are distinguished. The focus is laid on the presentation of recent decentralized control design and co-design methods which offer effective tools to overcome specific difficulties caused mainly by network imperfections. Such side-effects include communication constraints, variable sampling, time-varying transmission delays, packet dropouts, and quantizations. Decentralized time-triggered methods are briefly discussed. The review is deals mainly with decentralized event-triggered methods. Particularly, the stabilizing controller–observer event-based controller design as well as the decentralized state controller co-design are presented within the I/O-oriented structures of large scale complex systems. The sampling instants depend in this case only on a local information offered by the local feedback loops. Minimum sampling time conditions are discussed. Special attention is focused on interaction-oriented system architecture. Model-based approach combined with event-based state feedback controller design is presented, where the event thresholds are fully decentralized. Finally, several selected open decentralized control problems are briefly offered as recent research challenges.
