不完备XML信息系统的粗糙集模型

随着XML成为网络信息表示和交换的标准以及不确定数据的广泛存在,不确定XML数据库管理技术成为了当今研究的热点。首先,允许XML文档叶子节点的信息值为丢失的或遗漏的空值,提出不完备的XML信息系统;其次,提出节点的相容关系、限制相容关系以及阈值相容关系等概念,基于粗糙集理论分别定义这3种关系对应的粗糙集模型;最后,通过实例分析表明,限制相容关系模型能克服相容关系模型分类粗糙的缺点,阈值相容关系模型通过合理地设置阈值可达到更好的分类效果,从而提高了对XML数据的预测、分类的精确度。     

项目子相似度融合的协同过滤推荐算法

针对用户评分数据稀疏性和项目最近邻寻找的不准确性问题,提出了一种项目子相似度融合的协同过滤推荐算法.该算法根据目标用户每一属性取值,选取与该属性值一致的用户作为用户子空间,并在此空间上计算目标项目与其他项目之间的相似度(称其为项目子相似度).在此基础上,以项目子相似度为依据选取目标项目的K最近邻,计算其预测评分;最后对用户不同属性上的预测评分进行加权求和,得到目标项目的最终评分.实验结果表明,该算法能准确地选取目标项目的最近邻,明显改善了推荐质量.     

基于混合方法的中文微博自动摘要技术研究

针对微博内容驳杂、信息稀疏的问题,深入研究传统自动摘要技术,结合微博数据特点,在微博事件提取的基础上提出一种基于统计和理解的混合摘要方法。首先根据词频、句子位置等文本特征得到基于统计的初始摘要;然后通过语义词典,计算句子相似度、确定事件主体进行基于语义理解的可读性加工,使最终摘要更具可读性;最后采用合理的摘要评价方法评价所得摘要。实验结果表明,该方法在不同压缩比例下均能获得质量稳定且可读性良好的摘要。     

混合总体最小二乘的迭代解算算法

总体最小二乘估计能够同时顾及线性模型中系数矩阵[WTHX]A和观测向量L的 误差,平差理论相对更为严密。如果系数矩阵[WTHX]A[WTBZ]的部分元素没有误差,这种总体最小二乘模 型为混合总体最小二乘模型。针对混合总体最小二乘(Least squares total least squares, LS TLS)解算问题,应用测量平差中 的 原理和方法,推导了混合总体最小二乘的迭代逼近解算公式,通过与奇异值分解法分析比较 ,分析了两种解算方法具有等价性,最后通过实验数据分析得出迭代算法的有效性 和合理性。     

一种基于项目属性评分的协同过滤推荐算法

协同过滤是电子商务推荐系统中应用最成功的推荐技术之一,但面临着严峻的用户评分数据稀疏性和推荐精度低等问题。针对数据稀疏性高和单一评分导致的推荐精度低等问题,提出一种基于项目属性评分的协同过滤推荐算法。首先通过均值法或缩放法构造用户-项目属性评分矩阵将单一评分转化为多评分;其次基于每个属性评分矩阵,计算用户间的偏好相似度,得到目标用户的偏好最近邻居集;然后针对每个最近邻居集,在用户-项目评分矩阵上完成对目标用户的初步评分预测;最后,将多个初步预测评分加权求和作为综合评分,完成推荐。在Movie Lens扩展数据集上的实验结果表明,该算法能有效提高推荐精度。     

Exploring the Relationship Between Green Consumption Value,Satisfaction, and Loyalty to Hybrid Car in Elderly Consumers

The study aimed to examine the relationship between green consumption value, satisfaction, and loyalty of driving hybrid cars among elderly consumers. Data were collected from a cross‐sectional survey of 314 elderly consumers who purchased hybrid cars in the United States. A partial least squares analysis revealed that elderly consumers’ social, price, and quality values positively influenced the satisfaction of their hybrid car experience, and their satisfaction significantly influenced their loyalty of hybrid car. The relationship between green consumption value, satisfaction, and loyalty toward driving hybrid cars among elderly consumers revealed insight into their value orientations toward the hybrid car. Special efforts are suggested in promoting hybrid car use to elderly consumer groups. Marketers should pay attention to changing beliefs and increasing perceived values of driving a hybrid car for consumers to encourage them to use green products.     

Information Systems Offshore Outsourcing: An Exploratory Study of Motivations and Risks in Large Spanish Firms

Prior research has documented that IT investment increases market returns. Economic theories predict such returns to be recognized in accounting profitability; this relationship remains ambiguous in prior literature. We reexamine the relationship between IT investment and firm profitability. Our approach is unique in that we examine complementarities between distinct IT components. We document that a firm’s investments in IT components exhibit different impacts on its profitability conditional on the level of investments in complementary components.     

Complementary Effects of Information Technology Investment on Firm Profitability: The Functional Forms of the Complementarities

Abstract

This paper focuses on developing economic theory on the interrelation between information technology investment components. Three functional forms to model the joint effects between components of investment on firm accounting profitability are identified and empirically tested. The results suggest that the complementarities between components of IT investment can be best modeled by using the multiplicative functional forms, providing a framework to model the joint effects of different factors that impact firm profitability.
