    Abstract Event recommendation allows people to identify various recent upcoming social events. Based on the Profile or User recommendation people will identify the group of users to subscribe the event and to participate, despite it faces cold-start issues intrinsically. The existing models exploit multiple contextual factors to mitigate the cold-start issues in essential applications on profile recommendations to the event. However, those existing solution does not incorporate the correlation and covariance measures among various contextual factors. Moreover, recommending similar profiles to various groups of the events also has not been well analyzed in the existing literature.… More >

    Abstract Speckle Reduction Anisotropic Diffusion filter which is used to despeckle ultrasound images, perform well at homogeneous region than in heterogeneous region resulting in loss of information available at the edges. Extended SRAD filter does the same, preserving better the edges in addition, compared to the existing SRAD filter. The proposed Extended SRAD filter includes the intensity of four more neighboring pixels in addition with other four that is meant for SRAD filter operation. So, a total of eight pixels are involved in determining the intensity of a single pixel. This improves despeckling performance by maintaining More >
