FindOut: Finding Outliers in Very Large Datasets

Finding the rare instances or the outliers is important in many KDD (knowledge discovery and data-mining) applications, such as detecting credit card fraud or finding irregularities in gene expressions. Signal-processing techniques have been introduced to transform images for enhancement, filtering, restoration, analysis, and reconstruction. In this paper, we present a new method in which we apply signal-processing techniques to solve important problems in data mining. In particular, we introduce a novel deviation (or outlier) detection approach, termed FindOut, based on wavelet transform. The main idea in FindOut is to remove the clusters from the original data and then identify the outliers. Although previous research showed that such techniques may not be effective because of the nature of the clustering, FindOut can successfully identify outliers from large datasets. Experimental results on very large datasets are presented which show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

FPGA技术在数字演播室传输系统中的应用

随着高清技术的不断进步与发展,数字箱载演播室也在向着高清的应用发展。然而由于高清视频码流的高速率,传统的三同轴传输技术不再适应。光纤传输是一个选择,但是光纤不仅成本高,而且在移动中比较容易损坏。对于一些低成本用户,光纤技术显然是不适用的。文章提出了一种经济适用的传输方式,传输质量也满足演播室的要求。这种传输方式在FPGA中都已经得到实现。系统运行稳定、音视频质量好且成本低。     

5G价值面,BSS/OSS融合的下一站

随着移动通信与互联网技术的发展,传统通信业务已由单一的语音通信,发展为多元化、个性化的融合信息服务,通信产业价值链结构从以运营商为中心的模式向以用户体验为中心的模式转变。互联网与内容提供商以“内容驱动”为理念,灵活快速地迭代产品并响应用户需求,市场份额快速提升,这导致运营商在产业价值链中逐渐被“管道化”。在数字化转型过程中,运营商通过重构、抽象5G网络功能,实现了网络按需编排、灵活适配和快速部署的能力,并基于业务支撑系统（business support system,BSS）/运营支撑系统（operation support system,OSS）(BO)融合与以用户为中心的运营模式增强用户体验,以期实现在产业价值链中地位和价值的提升。在回顾通信产业价值链发展的基础上,分析了运营商价值提升所面临的挑战,提出了一种基于5G网络嵌入式服务的5G价值面体系架构,给出了典型应用场景,并为运营商5G价值面的演进提供了路径建议,助力运营商驶向BO融合的下一站。     

QoS Management in Educational Digital Library Environments

Advances in multimedia computing technologies offer new approaches to the support of computer-assisted education and training within many application domains. Novel interactive presentation tools can be built to enhance traditional teaching methods with more active learning. Since a variety of user expectations are possible in such an environment, research must address the incorporation of these factors into presentation tools. During an interactive learning/training process, presentation tools must be able to handle various types of delays. A flexibly adjustable quality of service (QoS) should thus be supported. In this paper, we investigate a framework and systematic strategies for supporting the continuous and synchronized retrieval and presentation of multimedia data streams in a client/server distributed multimedia environment for educational digital libraries. Specifically, we establish a practical framework for specifying multimedia objects, tasks, schedules, and synchronization constraints between media streams. We identify the QoS parameters critical to the support of multimedia presentations for learning and training activities. Based on the proposed framework and QoS specifications, we develop presentation scheduling and buffer management strategies which can enforce the specified QoS requirements in an educational digital library environment.
