Inference and learning in hybrid probabilistic network

This paper proposed a novel hybrid probabilistic network, which is a good tradeoff between the model complexity and learnability in practice. It relaxes the conditional independence assumptions of Naive Bayes while still permitting efficient inference and learning. Experimental studies on a set of natural domains prove its clear advantages with respect to the generalization ability.     

Obituaries: Martin Deutsch (1926-2002).

Reports the death of Martin Deutsch (1926-2002) and notes his contributions to the field of developmental psychology. Deutsch believed that environmental influences were critical for cognitive development during children's early years and that it was possible to design programs that would provide some of those experiences for children.

无线传感器网络中一次性数字签名算法设计

一次性数字签名算法是构造密码协议的基础算法,可用于认证无线传感器网络(WSN)中传输数据的真实性和完整性。针对WSN的应用需求,给出一种高效的一次性数字签名算法。与现有一次性签名算法相比,该算法生成签名简单快捷,只需执行一次模指数乘法运算;签名长度短,只需传输一个群元素;适用范围广,能根据待签名消息的长度自动适配对应的公钥参数,该特性非常适合WSN中数据传输量较小的应用;同时该算法还能在标准模型下得到形式化的安全证明,其抗伪造攻击安全性可归约为双线性映射群中计算的Diffie-Hellman数学难题。     

Global structure constrained local shape prior estimation for medical image segmentation

Organ shape plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, surgical planning and treatment evaluation. Shape modeling is a critical factor affecting the performance of deformable model based segmentation methods for organ shape extraction. In most existing works, shape modeling is completed in the original shape space, with the presence of outliers. In addition, the specificity of the patient was not taken into account. This paper proposes a novel target-oriented shape prior model to deal with these two problems in a unified framework. The proposed method measures the intrinsic similarity between the target shape and the training shapes on an embedded manifold by manifold learning techniques. With this approach, shapes in the training set can be selected according to their intrinsic similarity to the target image. With more accurate shape guidance, an optimized search is performed by a deformable model to minimize an energy functional for image segmentation, which is efficiently achieved by using dynamic programming. Our method has been validated on 2D prostate localization and 3D prostate segmentation in MRI scans. Compared to other existing methods, our proposed method exhibits better performance in both studies.     

半监督复杂结构数据降维方法

现有的一些典型半监督降维算法,往往在利用标记信息的同时却忽略了样本数据本身的流形特征,或者是对流形特征使用不当,导致算法性能表现不佳并且应用领域狭窄。针对上述问题提出了半监督复杂结构数据降维方法,同时保持样本数据的全局与局部的流形特征。通过设置适当的目标函数,使算法结果能有更广泛的应用场合,实验证明了算法的有效性。

对经典隐马尔可夫模型的经验性改进

文章分析了经典隐马尔可夫模型（Hidden Markov Model,HMM）齐次假设的理论缺陷,以及两种非齐次HMM。语音识别对比实验表明,经验性的惩罚概率法是稳健的、且更有效的补偿方法。实验结果还指出在最优惩罚概率下,经典HMM达到了与非齐次的基于段长分布的HMM（Duration Distribution Based HMM,DDBHMM）几乎相同的识别率,证明了齐次假设并不影响经典HMM在实用中的重要性。文章提出了一种改进Baum－Welch重估算法的初值的经验方法,用于HMM参数的估计,在汉语连续语音识别实验中一致性地降低了音节误识率。

无随机预言机的公平合同签署协议

针对目前已有的公平合同签署协议存在的不足,利用已有的无随机预言机模型下的短签名方案和q-强Diffie- Hellman假设,设计一种新的具有离线半可信第三方的公平合同签署协议,离线第三方只在意外情况下才介入协议,且在纠纷解决阶段只是协助参与方解密,则协议结束,第三方并不能获得参与方的签名。由于基于短签名,所需存储和通信的数据量小,该协议只适用于低带宽通信以及需要较小的数据存储量的环境。
