Visual Movie Analytics
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

The analysis of inherent structures of movies plays an important role in studying stylistic devices and specific, content related questions. Examples are the analysis of personal constellations in movie scenes, dialogue based content analysis, or the investigation of image based features. We provide a visual analytics approach that supports the analytical reasoning process to derive higher level insights about the content on a semantic level. Combining automatic methods for semantic scene analysis based on script and subtitle text, we perform a low level analysis of the data automatically. Our approach features an interactive visualization that allows a multilayer interpretation of descriptive features to characterize movie content. For semantic analysis, we extract scene information from movie scripts and match them with the corresponding subtitles. With text and image based query techniques, we facilitate an interactive comparison of different movie scenes on an image and on a semantic level. We demonstrate how our approach can be applied for content analysis on a popular Hollywood movie.
The Great Acceleration: An Environmental History of the Anthropocene since 1945

"The Earth has entered a new age the Anthropocene in which humans are the most powerful influence on global ecology. The accelerating pace of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and population growth has thrust the planet into a massive uncontrolled experiment. The Great Acceleration explains its causes and consequences, highlighting the role of energy systems, climate change, urbanisation, and environmentalism. Human dependence on fossil fuels inaugurated the Anthropocene. Before 1700, people used little in the way of fossil fuels, but over the next two hundred years coal became the most important energy source, and by 1900 coal and oil accounted for seventy five percent of energy use. This allowed far more economic activity and a higher standard of living, but it also created far more ecological disruption. Three quarters of the carbon dioxide humans have contributed to the atmosphere has accumulated since World War II ended, and the number of people on Earth has nearly tripled. So far, humans have altered the planet's biogeochemical systems without consciously managing them. If we try to control these systems through geoengineering, we will inaugurate another stage of the Anthropocene. Where it might lead, no one can say."

A High Performance Complexity Reduced Behavioral Model and Digital Predistorter for MIMO Systems With Crosstalk
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Communications

In this paper, an augmented crossover memory polynomial model (A COMPM) is proposed and developed which can be used for characterizing and linearizing multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmitters in the presence of linear and nonlinear crosstalk. The proposed model significantly improves the performance of the crossover memory polynomial model (CO MPM) by more accurately incorporating the effect of crosstalk. The proposed model performs comparably to the 2 x 2 parallel Hammerstein (2 x 2 PH) model, while requiring the same number of coefficients as CO MPM and a lower number of coefficients than the 2 x 2 PH. The model was tested for forward modeling and digital predistortion (DPD) applications in the presence of both linear and nonlinear crosstalk. Experimental results show that the model outperforms the CO MPM and 2 x 2 PH DPDs, at a lower number of coefficients compared to both models. Furthermore, the issue of numerical stability of the DPD
On the Theory and Practice of Privacy Preserving Bayesian Data Analysis
Venue: UAI

Bayesian inference has great promise for the privacy preserving analysis of sensitive data, as posterior sampling automatically preserves differential privacy, an algorithmic notion of data privacy, under certain conditions (Dimitrakakis et al. 2014; Wang et al. 2015) While this one posterior sample (OPS) approach elegantly provides privacy "for free," it is data inefficient in the sense of asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) We show that a simple alternative based on the Laplace mechanism, the workhorse of differential privacy, is as asymptotically efficient as non private posterior inference, under general assumptions. This technique also has practical advantages including efficient use of the privacy budget for MCMC. We demonstrate the practicality of our approach on a time series analysis of sensitive military records from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars disclosed by the Wikileaks organization.
The Characteristics of TB Epidemic and TB/HIV Co Infection Epidemic: A 2007 2013 Retrospective Study in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, China
Venue: PloS one

This study was aimed to find out epidemiologic characteristic of tuberculosis (TB) cases, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive cases among TB patients (TB/HIV co infection) through demographic, temporal, and spatial study in Urumqi.  Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression were applied to identify the epidemiologic characteristics and risk factors of TB epidemic and TB/HIV co infection epidemic. All addresses of each TB case, TB/HIV co infection case, and administrative street were transformed into geographical coordinate. Subsequently, the geocoded address for 82 streets was transformed into a dot map used as the basis of spatial datasets. In addition, the paper also used quantile map and the spatial scan statistic in order to identify the spatial distribution and spatial clusters of TB epidemic and TB/HIV co infection epidemic.  There was a declining trend of the notification rates of TB epidemic from 2007 to 2009, as well as a rising trend from 2010 to 2013. However, the notification rates of TB/HIV co infection epidemic showed a rising trend from 2007 to 2010, and a declining trend from 2011 to 2013. Moreover, a significant share of TB epidemic and TB/HIV co infection epidemic happened between the age of 15 to 45 years old, indicating an increase in risk of TB and TB/HIV infection. It is worth noting that the risk of HIV infection for male TB patients was 2.947 times (95% CI [2.178, 3.988] than that of female patients. Han ethnicity and Uygur ethnicity in urban region accounted for a large proportion of total TB and TB/HIV co infection cases. Most of the TB cases of minorities in Urumqi showed a statistically significant increase in risk of HIV infection than Han ethnicity in Urumqi. In addition, the spatial distribution of TB epidemic and TB/HIV co infection epidemic was highly skewed. Most of the local clusters were located in urban area and rural urban continuum where showed an increase in risk of TB and TB/HIV infection.  The epidemiologic and spatial temporal analysis of TB epidemic and TB/HIV co infection epidemic demonstrates a potential connection between TB and HIV in Urumqi. Demographic, temporal, geographic factors are the reasons of causing TB and TB/HIV co infection epidemic.
Visual abstraction improvement of interactive dot map
Venue: 2016 17th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD)

The distribution of multiclass discrete data in geographic space is a research hotspot in the field of geographic related visualization. As a basic visual presentation of such data, the advantages of dot maps are perceptual intuition and abundant details, but there is also the problem of poor readability due to the points overlap. The approach of density estimation by resolution is proposed in this paper to optimize dot maps, and to flexibly adjust sampling parameters of the current resolution, so as to show the details to the maximum extent and maintain the relative density characteristics of various types of property. In order to compensate the missing discrete features caused by sampling, a series of interactive tools are used to effectively improve the accuracy of visual analysis and assist the overall visual representation. Finally, the effectiveness of this approach is proved through case analysis and user research.
Combining FAP, MAP and correlation analysis for multivariate alarm thresholds optimization in industrial process

In the real industrial process, alarm threshold optimization is an important part of alarm system rationalization. If the design of alarm threshold is unreasonable, it would result in nuisance alarms, among which the critical alarms are overwhelmed. In order to alleviate this phenomenon, we propose a method of multivariate alarm thresholds optimization to reduce the nuisance alarms. Firstly, causal relationship between process variables is constructed based on the time delay estimation method, thus we can determine the alarms propagation path and then select the optimized variables. Secondly, in order to guarantee both the process safety and correlation consistency, three factors false alarm probability (FAP) missed alarm probability (MAP) and the correlation between the alarm information and process information are combined to establish the objective function of the optimization process for the first time. Then, the optimal thresholds are obtained by the genetic algorithm. Finally, the validity and effectiveness of the developed method are illustrated by the Tennessee Eastman process.
LCrowdV: Generating Labeled Videos for Simulation Based Crowd Behavior Learning
Venue: ECCV Workshops

We present a novel procedural framework to generate an arbitrary number of labeled crowd videos (LCrowdV) The resulting crowd video datasets are used to design accurate algorithms or training models for crowded scene understanding. Our overall approach is composed of two components: a procedural simulation framework for generating crowd movements and behaviors, and a procedural rendering framework to generate different videos or images. Each video or image is automatically labeled based on the environment, number of pedestrians, density, behavior, flow, lighting conditions, viewpoint, noise, etc. Furthermore, we can increase the realism by combining synthetically generated behaviors with real world background videos. We demonstrate the benefits of LCrowdV over prior lableled crowd datasets by improving the accuracy of pedestrian detection and crowd behavior classification algorithms. LCrowdV would be released on the WWW.
Measuring what counts: Development of a new four category measure of adult attachment

Measurement issues have plagued attachment research over the past 30 years. Concerns range from limitations of the original paragraph measure (C. Hazan P. R. Shaver, 1987) low reliability of continuous scales of Bartholomew's 4 category measure, limited interpretation of the 2 dimensions of the Experience of Close Relationships and the Experience of Close Relationships Revised (ECR/ECR R; K. A. Brennan, C. L. Clark, P. R. Shaver, 1998; R. C. Fraley, N. G. Waller, K. A. Brennan, 2000) and time consuming coding of attachment interviews. In this article, a revision of the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ) is introduced. The new 4 category scales were found to have improved internal consistency when compared with the original RSQ scales as well as moderate to high test retest reliability and good construct validity, thereby providing an alternative measure for researchers who are interested in assessing the effects of the 4 category model of attachment.
Family therapists' adult attachment styles and the therapeutic alliance

Therapists' adult attachment style may affect their ability to form effective therapeutic alliances. An analysis of semi structured interviews with eleven family therapists explored the relationship between their adult attachment styles, as assessed using a self report measure, and their perceptions of the therapeutic alliance. A framework analysis was employed, using four dimensions of the therapeutic alliance: engagement in the therapeutic process, emotional connection to the therapist, safety within the therapeutic system and shared sense of purpose within the family. Responses were compared between therapists with secure and insecure attachment styles according to different dimensions of the therapeutic alliance. There were no substantial differences in therapists' accounts of their approach to engagement and creating a sense of safety; however they differed in their approaches to managing clients' hostility. Secure and insecure therapists differed in one of the dimensions of therapeutic alliance; emotional connections to family members. Training and supervision could incorporate an understanding of attachment style. Suggestions are made for future research based on this exploratory study.  The ability to co create a secure base may be related to the therapist's adult attachment style. Therapists with insecure attachment styles appear to have difficulty in managing clients' hostility and close emotional connections. Trainees may benefit from understanding their own adult attachment styles and resolving outstanding family of origin issues. Clinical supervision could reflect on the interaction between the therapist's and family attachment styles.
Properties of Tricalcium Silicate Sealers.
Venue: Journal of endodontics

Sealers based on tricalcium silicate cement aim at an interaction of the sealer with the root canal wall, alkalinity with potential antimicrobial activity, and the ability to set in a wet field. The aim of this study was to characterize and investigate the properties of a new tricalcium silicate based sealer and verify its compliance to ISO 6876 (2012)  A new tricalcium silicate based sealer (Bio MM; St Joseph University, Beirut, Lebanon) BioRoot RCS (Septodont, St Maure de Fosses, France) and AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) were investigated. Characterization using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X ray diffraction analysis was performed. Furthermore, sealer setting time, flow, film thickness, and radiopacity were performed following ISO specifications. pH and ion leaching in solution were assessed by pH analysis and inductively coupled plasma.  Bio MM and BioRoot RCS were both composed of tricalcium silicate and tantalum oxide in Bio MM and zirconium oxide in BioRoot RCS. In addition, the Bio MM contained calcium carbonate and a phosphate phase. The inorganic components of AH Plus were calcium tungstate and zirconium oxide. AH Plus complied with the ISO norms for both flow and film thickness. BioRoot RCS and Bio MM exhibited a lower flow and a higher film thickness than that specified for sealer cements in ISO 6876. All test sealers exhibited adequate radiopacity.  Bio MM interacted with physiologic solution, thus showing potential for bioactivity. Sealer properties were acceptable and comparable with other sealers available clinically.
Organic photoredox catalysis for the oxidation of silicates: applications in radical synthesis and dual catalysis.
Venue: Chemical communications

Metal free photooxidation of alkyl bis(catecholato)silicates with the organic dye 1,2,3,5 tetrakis(carbazol 9 yl) 4,6 dicyano benzene (4CzIPN) allows the smooth formation of alkyl radicals. The latter can be efficiently engaged either with radical acceptors to provide homolytic addition products or in photoredox/nickel dual catalysis reactions to obtain cross coupling products.
Tin containing silicates: identification of a glycolytic pathway via 3 deoxyglucosone

Inorganic glycolytic systems, capable of transforming glucose through a cascade of catalytic steps, can lead to efficient chemical processes utilising carbohydrates as feedstock. Tin containing silicates, such as Sn Beta, are showing potential for the production of lactates from sugars through a cascade of four to five sequential steps. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the competing glycolytic pathways within these systems. Here we identify dehydration of glucose to 3 deoxyglucosone as an important pathway that occurs in addition to retro aldol reaction of hexoses when using tin containing silicates. It is possible to influence the relative carbon flux through these pathways by controlling the amount of alkali metal salts present in the reaction mixture. In the absence of added potassium carbonate, at least 15 30% carbon flux via 3 deoxyglucosone is observed. Addition of just a few ppm of potassium carbonate makes retro aldol pathways dominant and responsible for about 60 70% of the overall carbon flux. The 3 deoxyglucosone pathway results in new types of chemical products accessible directly from glucose. Furthermore, it is argued that 3 deoxyglucosone is a contributing source of some of the methyl lactate formed from hexoses using tin containing silicates in the presence of alkali metal salts. Further catalyst design and system tuning will permit even better control between these two different glycolytic pathways and will enable highly selective catalytic transformations of glucose to a variety of chemical products using tin containing silicates.
Molten silicate reactions with plasma sprayed ytterbium silicate coatings

The reactions between molten calcium aluminum magnesium silicates (CMAS) at 1300 degC and atmospheric plasma spray (APS) deposited environmental barrier coatings on SiC substrates have been investigated. The tri layer coatings comprised a silicon bond coat protected by a layer of mullite and either Yb 2 SiO 5 (ytterbium monosilicate, YbMS) or Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 (ytterbium disilicate, YbDS) as the topcoat. The APS deposition process resulted in two phase top coats; the YbMS coating contained Yb 2 O 3 regions in a matrix of Yb 2 SiO 5 while the YbDS coating contained Yb 2 SiO 5 in a matrix of Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 Exposure of both coatings to a model CMAS resulted in dissolution of the topcoat accompanied by a rapid rise in the concentration of Yb in the melt, and formation of the same Ca 2 Yb 8 (SiO 4 6 O 2 apatite reaction product phase. The thickness of the apatite layer initially varied with (time) 1/4 but transitioned to approximately parabolic kinetics after 5 10 h of CMAS exposure. The reaction mechanism on the YbMS layer was consistent with recent observations on Y 2 SiO 5 wherein molten CMAS transport to the undissolved silicate was controlled by diffusion through thin amorphous films at the apatite grain boundaries. The reaction mechanism for the YbDS layer was more complex, and involved preferential reaction with the YbSiO 5 rich regions, resulting in a reaction zone that contained CMAS, the apatite reaction compound and undissolved Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 The coating composition and microstructure significantly influenced the mechanism and rate at which the YbDS top coat was consumed by the reaction.
Dentinal Tubule Penetration of Tricalcium Silicate Sealers.
Venue: Journal of endodontics

The treatments for which mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) based materials can be used in dentistry are expanding. Smaller particle size and easier handling properties have allowed the advent of tricalcium silicate sealers including EndoSequence BC Sealer (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA) QuickSet2 (Avalon Biomed, Bradenton, FL) NeoMTA Plus (Avalon Biomed) and MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) The objective of this study was to measure the tubule penetration with these sealers using continuous wave (CW) and single cone (SC) obturation techniques.  Eighty single rooted teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups of 10 and obturated with 1 of the previously mentioned sealers mixed with trace amounts of rhodamine using either the CW or SC technique. Teeth were sectioned at 1 mm and 5 mm from the apex and examined under a confocal laser microscope. The percentage of sealer penetration and the maximum sealer penetration were measured.  The tricalcium silicate sealers penetrated tubules as deep as 2000 mm (2 mm) The percentage of sealer penetration was much higher 5 mm from the apex, with many specimens having 100% penetration for both SC and warm vertical techniques. MTA Fillapex, a resin based sealer with less than 20% MTA particles, had significantly greater tubule penetration with a warm vertical technique versus the SC technique at the 1 mm level.  Within the limitations of this study, the CW and SC techniques produced similar tubule penetration at both the 1 mm and the 5 mm level with the tricalcium silicate sealers BC Sealer, QuickSet2, and NeoMTA Plus.
A Data Cleaning Model for Electric Power Big Data Based on Spark Framework
Venue: AST 2016

The data cleaning of electrical power big data can improve the correctness, the completeness, the consistency and the reliability of the data. Aiming at the difficulties of the extracting of the unified anomaly detection pattern and the low accuracy and continuity of the anomaly data correction in the process of the electrical power big data cleaning, the data cleaning model of the electrical power big data based on Spark is proposed. Firstly, the normal clusters and the corresponding boundary samples are obtained by the improved CURE clustering algorithm. Then, the anomaly data identification algorithm based on boundary samples is designed. Finally, the anomaly data modification is realized by using exponential weighting moving mean value. The high efficiency and accuracy is proved by the experiment of the data cleaning of the wind power generation monitoring data from the wind power station.
