A Fast Deep Learning Model for Textual Relevance in Biomedical Information Retrieval

Publications in the life sciences are characterized by a large technical vocabulary, with many lexical and semantic variations for expressing the same concept. Towards addressing the problem of relevance in biomedical literature search, we introduce a deep learning model for the relevance of a document’s text to a keyword style query. Limited by a relatively small amount of training data, the model uses pre-trained word embeddings. With these, the model first computes a variable-length Delta matrix between the query and document, representing a difference between the two texts, which is then passed through a deep convolution stage followed by a deep feed-forward network to compute a relevance score. This results in a fast model suitable for use in an online search engine. The model is robust and outperforms comparable state-of-the-art deep learning approaches.
Video Frame Interpolation via Adaptive Separable Convolution

Standard video frame interpolation methods first estimate optical flow between input frames and then synthesize an intermediate frame guided by motion. Recent approaches merge these two steps into a single convolution process by convolving input frames with spatially adaptive kernels that account for motion and re-sampling simultaneously. These methods require large kernels to handle large motion, which limits the number of pixels whose kernels can be estimated at once due to the large memory demand. To address this problem, this paper formulates frame interpolation as local separable convolution over input frames using pairs of 1D kernels. Compared to regular 2D kernels, the 1D kernels require significantly fewer parameters to be estimated. Our method develops a deep fully convolutional neural network that takes two input frames and estimates pairs of 1D kernels for all pixels simultaneously. Since our method is able to estimate kernels and synthesizes the whole video frame at once, it allows for the incorporation of perceptual loss to train the neural network to produce visually pleasing frames. This deep neural network is trained end-to-end using widely available video data without any human annotation. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method provides a practical solution to high-quality video frame interpolation.
The diffusion of misinformation on social media: Temporal pattern, message, and source

This study examines dynamic communication processes of political misinformation on social media focusing on three components: the temp oral attern, content mutation, and sources of misinformation. We traced the lifecycle of 17 po pular political rumors that circulated on Twitter over 13 months during the 2012 U.S. preside ntial election. Using text analysis based on time series, we found that while false rumors (misi nformation) tend to come back multiple times after the initial publication, true rumors (facts) do not. Rumor resurgence continues, often accompanying textual changes, until the tension aro und the target dissolves. We observed that rumors resurface by partisan news websites that rep ckage the old rumor into news and, gain visibility by influential Twitter users who introdu ce such rumor into the Twittersphere. In this paper, we argue that media scholars should consider the mutability of diffusing information, temporal recurrence of such messages, and the mecha nism by which these messages evolve over time.

Capacity Analysis of Cooperative Relaying Systems Using Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access

In this letter, we propose the cooperative relaying system using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) to improve the spectral efficiency. The achievable average rate of the proposed system is analyzed for independent Rayleigh fading channels, and also its asymptotic expression is provided. In addition, a suboptimal power allocation scheme for NOMA used at the source is proposed.
GRAYSCALE IMAGE MATTING AND COLORIZATION

This paper presents a novel approach to grayscale image matting and colorization. The first part of this approach is an efficient grayscale image matting algorithm in Bayesian framework. The foreground and background color distributions, and the alpha’s distribution are modelled with spatially varying sets of Gaussians. The major novelties of this matting algorithm are the introduction of alpha’s distribution and gradient into the Bayesian framework and an efficient optimization scheme. This grayscale image matting algorithm can effectively handle objects with intricate and vision sensitive boundaries, such as hair strands or facial organs. In the second part, by combining the grayscale image matting algorithm with color transferring techniques, an efficient colorization scheme is proposed, which provides great improvement over existing techniques for some difficult cases, such as human faces or images with confusing luminance distribution.
Ka-Band Linear to Circular Polarization Converter Based on Multilayer Slab With Broadband Performance

In this paper, a Ka-band polarization converter is presented, which is based on multilayer slab. In order to improve impedance matching, metallic circular traces are printed periodically on each dielectric multilayer slab. Simulated results of the polarizer show that it can transform linearly polarized (LP) to circularly polarized (CP) fields over a frequency band from 23 to 35GHz (42%) with an insertion loss less than 0.5 dB. The transmitted CP wave by the polarizer is approximately robust under oblique illuminations. The polarizer is fabricated and measured by a wideband horn antenna satisfying the simulated results. Next, in order to design a high-gain CP structure around 30 GHz, an 8-element LP array antenna with Chebyshev tapered distribution is designed and integrated with the polarizer. Obviously, the antenna limits the overall bandwidth (nearly 28 to 31.5 GHz) due to the narrowband nature of the LP antenna array. When the polarizer is illuminated by an incident LP wave, the two linear components of the transmitted wave with approximately equal amplitudes and 90° phase difference on the frequency band of interest are produced. Experimental results of the proposed structure show a pure CP with a gain of 13 dBi at 30 GHz, which can be suitable for millimeter wave communication.
The Bad Boys of Cyberspace: Deviant Behavior in a Multimedia Chat Community

A wide variety of deviant behavior may arise as the population of an online multimedia community increases. That behavior can span the range from simple mischievous antics to more serious expressions of psychopathology, including depression, sociopathy, narcissism, dissociation, and borderline dynamics. In some cases the deviant behavior may be a process of pathological acting out—in others, a healthy attempt to work through. Several factors must be taken into consideration when explaining online deviance, such as social/cultural issues, the technical infrastructure of the environment, transference reactions, and the effects of the ambiguous, anonymous, and fantasy-driven atmosphere of cyberspace life. In what we may consider an "online community psychology," intervention strategies for deviant behavior can be explored along three dimensions: preventative versus remedial, user versus superuser based, and automated versus interpersonal.
A Study of Momentum Effects on the Swedish Stock Market using Time Series Regression

This study investigates if momentum effects can be found on the Swedish stock market by testing a cross-sectional momentum strategy on historical data. To explain the results mathematically, a second approach, involving time series regression for predicting future returns is introduced and thereby extends the cross-sectional theory. The result of the study shows that momentum effects through the cross-sectional strategy exist on the Swedish stock market. Although positive return is found, the time series regression do not give any significance for predicting future returns. Hence, there is a contradiction between the two approaches.
An application of explicit model predictive control to electric power assisted steering systems

This paper presents explicit model predictive control (MPC) for electric power assisted steering (EPAS) systems. Explicit MPC has the ability to alleviate the computational burdens of MPC, which is an online optimization technique, using multi-parametric quadratic programming (mp-QP). EPAS systems are being used more frequently for passenger cars because of their advantages over hydraulic steering systems in terms of performance and cost. The main objective of EPAS systems is to provide a desired motor torque; therefore, to handle this problem, explicit MPC is employed owing to the ability of MPC to deal with constraints on controls and states and of explicit MPC to do the same work offline. This paper summarizes a formulation of explicit MPC and introduces a straight-line boost curve, which is used to determine desired motor torques. A mechanical model, motion equations and the state-space form of a column-type EPAS system are also described in this paper. An linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is designed so that the explicit MPC controller could be compared against it. The parameter values are respectively varied to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed explicit MPC controller. The proposed control strategy shows better performance than that of the LQR as well as a reduction in the required computational complexity.
AUTOMATIC BLOOD VESSEL SEGMENTATION IN COLOR IMAGES OF RETINA

Automated image processing techniques have the ability to assist in the early detection of diabetic retinopathy disease which can be regarded as a manifestation of diabetes on the retina. Blood vessel segmentation is the basic foundation while developing retinal screening systems, since vessels serve as one of the main retinal landmark features. This paper proposes an automated method for identification of blood vessels in color images of the retina. For every image pixel, a feature vector is computed that utilizes properties of scale and orientation selective Gabor filters. The extracted features are then classified using generative Gaussian mixture model and discriminative support vector machines classifiers. Experimental results demonstrate that the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve reached a value 0.974, which is highly comparable and, to some extent, higher than the previously reported ROCs that range from 0.787 to 0.961. Moreover, this method gives a sensitivity of 96.50% with a specificity of 97.10% for identification of blood vessels.

Mobile learning with a mobile game: design and motivational effects

Mobile technologies offer the opportunity to embed learning in a natural environment. This paper describes the design of the MobileGame prototype, exploring the opportunities to support learning through an orientation game in a university setting. The paper first introduces the scenario and then describes the general architecture of the prototype. The main part of the paper focuses on the evaluation of design issues and the effects observed in two trials. Design issues include: Supporting work on the move poses difficult interface questions, the accuracy of current outdoor, and indoor positioning systems is still problematic and the game requires near real-time response time. The evaluation of the effects shows that features such as ‘map-navigation’ and ‘hunting and hiding’ lead to excitement and fun. The participants immerse into a mixed reality that augments both physical and social space. The game success is based on the motivating design of the game itself. The paper concludes with open issues for future research, especially with the need to thoroughly evaluate the learning benefits.
VALUE , RARENESS , COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE , AND PERFORMANCE : A CONCEPTUAL-LEVEL EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RESOURCE-BASED VIEW OF THE FIRM

The resource-based view of the firm (RBV) hypothesizes that the exploitation of valuable, rare resources and capabilities contributes to a firm’s competitive advantage, which in turn contributes to its performance. Despite this notion, few empirical studies test these hypotheses at the conceptual level. In response to this gap, this study empirically examines the relationships between value, rareness, competitive advantage, and performance. The results suggest that value and rareness are related to competitive advantage, that competitive advantage is related to performance, and that competitive advantage mediates the rareness-performance relationship. These findings have important academic and practitioner implications which are then discussed.
Docker Containers across Multiple Clouds and Data Centers

Emerging lightweight cloud technologies, such as Docker containers, are gaining wide traction in IT due to the fact that they allow users to deploy applications in any environment faster and more efficiently than using virtual machines. However, current Docker-based container deployment solutions are aimed at managing containers in a single-site, which limits their capabilities. As more users look to adopt Docker containers in dynamic, heterogenous environments, the ability to deploy and effectively manage containers across multiple clouds and data centers becomes of utmost importance. In this paper, we propose a prototype framework, called C-Ports, that enables the deployment and management of Docker containers across multiple hybrid clouds and traditional clusters while taking into consideration user and resource provider objectives and constraints. The framework leverages a constraint-programming model for resource selection and uses CometCloud to allocate/deallocate resources as well as to deploy containers on top of these resources. Our prototype has been effectively used to deploy and manage containers in a dynamic federation composed of five clouds and two clusters.
Dynamics of the vocal imitation process: how a zebra finch learns its song.

Song imitation in birds provides good material for studying the basic biology of vocal learning. Techniques were developed for inducing the rapid onset of song imitation in young zebra finches and for tracking trajectories of vocal change over a 7-week period until a match to a model song was achieved. Exposure to a model song induced the prompt generation of repeated structured sounds (prototypes) followed by a slow transition from repetitive to serial delivery of syllables. Tracking this transition revealed two phenomena: (i) Imitations of dissimilar sounds can emerge from successive renditions of the same prototype, and (ii) developmental trajectories for some sounds followed paths of increasing acoustic mismatch until an abrupt correction occurred by period doubling. These dynamics are likely to reflect underlying neural and articulatory constraints on the production and imitation of sounds.
Early Fault Detection of Machine Tools Based on Deep Learning and Dynamic Identification

In modern digital manufacturing, nearly 79.6% of the downtime of a machine tool is caused by its mechanical failures. Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a useful way to minimize the machine downtime and the associated costs. One of the challenges with PdM is early fault detection under time-varying operational conditions, which means mining sensitive fault features from condition signals in long-term running. However, fault features are often weakened and disturbed by the time-varying harmonics and noise during a machining process. Existing analysis methods of these complex and diverse data are inefficient and time-consuming. This paper proposes a novel method for early fault detection under time-varying conditions. In this study, a deep learning model is constructed to automatically select the impulse responses from the vibration signals in long-term running of 288 days. Then, dynamic properties are identified from the selected impulse responses to detect the early mechanical fault under time-varying conditions. Compared to traditional methods, the experimental results in this paper have proved that our method was not affected by time-varying conditions and showed considerable potential for early fault detection in manufacturing.
Study of Lightning Surge Overvoltages at Substations Due to Direct Lightning Strokes to Phase Conductors

Accurate predictions of lightning surge overvoltages are essential to power equipment insulation design. Recent observations of lightning strokes to ultra-high-voltage designed transmission lines confirmed direct lightning strokes caused by shielding failure and found phenomena unexplainable by conventional shielding theories. However, there are few detailed studies of direct lightning surge overvoltages. This study assumed direct lightning stroke currents based on observational data and performs electromagnetic transient program analysis of the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) and transformer overvoltages at substations to study the basic characteristics of overvoltages due to direct lightning strokes and evaluate lightning protection design. Consequently, the maximum GIS overvoltages were found during back-flashovers, and the locations of maximum overvoltages from direct lightning strokes and back-flashovers differ. Direct lightning strokes may be more severe than back-flashovers for transformers. This paper also studied the overvoltage generation mechanism and showed the relationship of the maximum voltage to lightning stroke current and transformer capacitance.
Flux-Weakening Regime Operation of an Interior Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive

The interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous motor is compatible with extended-speed-range constant-power operation by means of flux-weakening control. Flux weakening uses stator current components to counter the fixed-amplitude magnetic airgap flux generated by the rotor magnets, performing a role similar to field weakening in a separately excited dc motor. The nature of current regulator saturation caused by the finite inverter dc source voltage is described, marked by premature torque and power degradation at high speeds in the absence of flux-weakening control. This is followed by presentation of a new flux-weakening control algorithm developed as a modification of an established feedforward IPM torque control algorithm described previously in the literature. Attractive features of this new algorithm include smooth drive transitions into and out of the flux-weakening mode, fast response, as well as automatic adjustment to changes in the dc source voltage. Simulation and empirical test results from a 3-hp laboratory IPM motor drive are used to confirm the constant-power operating envelope achieved using the new flux-weakening control algorithm.
Combining Multiple Coverage Criteria in Search-Based Unit Test Generation

Automated test generation techniques typically aim at maximising coverage of well-established structural criteria such as statement or branch coverage. In practice, generating tests only for one specific criterion may not be sufficient when testing object oriented classes, as standard structural coverage criteria do not fully capture the properties developers may desire of their unit test suites. For example, covering a large number of statements could be easily achieved by just calling the main method of a class; yet, a good unit test suite would consist of smaller unit tests invoking individual methods, and checking return values and states with test assertions. There are several different properties that test suites should exhibit, and a search-based test generator could easily be extended with additional fitness functions to capture these properties. However, does search-based testing scale to combinations of multiple criteria, and what is the effect on the size and coverage of the resulting test suites? To answer these questions, we extended the EvoSuite unit test generation tool to support combinations of multiple test criteria, defined and implemented several different criteria, and applied combinations of criteria to a sample of 650 open source Java classes. Our experiments suggest that optimising for several criteria at the same time is feasible without increasing computational costs: When combining nine different criteria, we observed an average decrease of only 0.4% for the constituent coverage criteria, while the test suites may grow up to 70%.
Learning Generative Visual Models from Few Training Examples: An Incremental Bayesian Approach Tested on 101 Object Categories

Current computational approaches to learning visual object categories require thousands of training images, are slow, cannot learn in an incremental manner and cannot incorporate prior information into the learning process. In addition, no algorithm presented in the literature has been tested on more than a handful of object categories. We present an method for learning object categories from just a few training images. It is quick and it uses prior information in a principled way. We test it on a dataset composed of images of objects belonging to 101 widely varied categories. Our proposed method is based on making use of prior information, assembled from (unrelated) object categories which were previously learnt. A generative probabilistic model is used, which represents the shape and appearance of a constellation of features belonging to the object. The parameters of the model are learnt incrementally in a a c Purchase Export Previous article Next article Check if you have access through your login credentials or your institution.
Fusing audio, visual and textual clues for sentiment analysis from multimodal content

A huge number of videos are posted every day on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. This makes the Internet an unlimited source of information. In the coming decades, coping with such information and mining useful knowledge from it will be an increasingly difficult task. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for multimodal sentiment analysis, which consists in harvesting sentiments from Web videos by demonstrating a model that uses audio, visual and textual modalities as sources of information. We used both featureand decision-level fusion methods to merge affective information extracted from multiple modalities. A thorough comparison with existing works in this area is carried out throughout the paper, which demonstrates the novelty of our approach. Preliminary comparative experiments with the YouTube dataset show that the proposed multimodal system achieves an accuracy of nearly 80%, outperforming all state-of-the-art systems by more than 20%. & 2015 Elsevier B.V.
