Saliency detection aims to find the useful and attractive regions from an image. In many situations, there may be multiple objects in the image, and these objects may have equal attractiveness. Moreover, the appearance of pixels in one object may demonstrate large difference, which could lead to lose the object integrality when detecting saliency. To this end, this paper proposes a multi-saliency...
Mutual information clustering is an agglomerative hierarchical clustering method that has been used to group random variables or sets thereof. Some researchers have found that the normalization method used can lead to oddly-sized clusters that do not line up with expected results. We introduce a new normalization parameter to control the size of the clusters, and apply it to food allergy data from...
Background: Adequate clinical information provided with radiology orders is important for an accurate interpretation of imaging studies. Nonetheless, high percentage of radiology orders lack adequate information. Assessment of the adequacy of the information associated with radiology orders could be achieved manually. However, manual assessment is costly and inefficient. Novel approaches using machine...
Research clues can be expressed as coherent chains of keywords grouped by theme. Capturing clues to research from the vast and expanding medical literature is valuable. Yet, it is difficult to automatically create clear visualizations of research clues despite the presence of many competing summarization tools. In this paper, we propose a linear classifier based on a spiral, which we call a regional...
This paper addresses the robust non-fragile leader-following consensus problem for multi-agent systems against state-dependent uncertainties and controller coefficient variations. Without the requirement of knowledge of uncertainties of agents and controllers, adaptive distributed controllers are constructed to guarantee the follower agents tracking the leader agent. Asymptotic consensus results of...
The core temperature of power cables is a key supervising factor which concerns the operation safety of transmission line. However, direct measurement influences insulation performance due to embedding instruments into the cable. In this paper a measurement method using temperature retrieval is proposed. The finite element models of the cable are established for excavating the implicit relationships...
This paper identifies location of users' residence and work place and bus trip chain of commuters in Songjiang district of Shanghai city based on mobile phone data and GPS data, which can be used to analyze residents' commuting characteristics. Then, in this paper, we analyze commuter residents in the public transit trip chain, commuters usually have a fixed trip mode in the working day. The whole...
once an event occurs, usually there are a large number of online news to be released. How to quickly and accurately detect the hot events from the huge amount of online news is the focus and hotspot. Event detection and tracking technology is as a key technology to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose an approach to detect hot events from the online news stream in a timely manner and track...
More and more quantum algorithms have been designed for solving problems in machine learning, database search and data analytics. An important problem then arises: how privacy can be protected when these algorithms are used on private data? For classical computing, the notion of differential privacy provides a very useful conceptual framework in which a great number of mechanisms that protect privacy...
CGRA (Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array) is competitive hardware architecture for streaming applications due to its excellent tradeoff between programmability and efficiency. However, the efficiency of CGRA highly depends on how applications are mapped onto it with optimized operation placement and data routing. In the routing procedure, data are transferred through different processing elements...
In recent years competition among retailers has led to intense competition among supply chains. The rise of the Internet of Things provides a basis for retail enterprises to have detailed knowledge of their supply chain and hence to enhance its management. Using the Internet of Things, retail enterprises are able to increase the quality of their supply chain management, so as to offer a more intelligent...
Fruit industry occupies a pivotal position in agricultural production, unsalable fruit is a major issue related to people's livelihood. The research puts forward the construction of e-commerce service platform based on the analysis of the sales status of local fruit. The platform uses the sensor technology to achieve the fruit tree growth environment and the whole process of growth of technical guidance...
China is a large agricultural country with the largest population in the world. This creates a high demand for food, which is prompting the study of high quality and high-yielding crops. China's current agricultural production is sufficient to feed the nation; however, compared with developed countries agricultural farming is still lagging behind, mainly due to the fact that the system of growing...

This paper introduces the development of data mining to date, its functions, tasks and algorithms, as well as the process of data mining. The application and problems of data mining are also presented and finally the potential future development of data mining technology...
Packaging currently used in the market often results in a waste of resources and environmental pollution. The implementation of green packaging can reduce pollution, optimize the environment, improve international competitiveness, promote the development of export trade, and is also conducive to the implementation of sustainable development strategies. However, despite the existence and benefits of...
The paper will develop a wireless sensor network suitable for the medical scene of smart community for the elderly in the community to provide quality health care services for the elderly. The project will improve positioning accuracy of the elderly in the smart community through the study of positioning algorithm. Meanwhile, the project will design a routing protocol most appropriate for medical...
In this paper, a novel guidance-control scheme is presented for the unmanned surface vessel (USV) trajectory tracking. First, the guidance system is designed to give the reference speed and heading for the control system. Based on the SFLOS algorithm, the guidance system can track the desired curve in high precision. Then, control system is proposed based on backstepping technique and bio-inspired...
The use of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for the prevention of forest fires can greatly reduce the human and financial input, it also can avoid the disadvantage without of manual detection and judge the forest fires all day. The forest environment is so complex that it needs a lot of sensor nodes. The key point to the sensor is the low power and the distribution. So the choice of network protocol...
It studied blocking in the wide aisle order picking system by putting the order picking system as a complex network. It analyzed the influencing factors on the wide aisle order picking system, and found the blocking time ratio influenced by picking density and picking face number. In the condition of picking and walking speed of one to one, it constructed the discrete time Markov state transition...
Periodic broadcasting has achieved prominent performance in VoD (Video on Demand) service in wired network. However, the development of wireless VoD service still has gone on hard and slowly in comparison to the rapid growth of mobile video service. In this paper, we propose a scalable video streaming method HQOBA (Heterogeneous Quality-Oriented Bandwidth Allocation) to address the problems in wireless...
