Abstract Document processing in natural language includes retrieval, sentiment analysis, theme extraction, etc. Classical methods for handling these tasks are based on models of probability, semantics and networks for machine learning. The probability model is loss of semantic information in essential, and it influences the processing accuracy. Machine learning approaches include supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised approaches, labeled corpora is necessary for semantics model and supervised learning. The method for achieving a reliably labeled corpus is done manually, it is costly and time-consuming because people have to read each document and annotate the label of each document. Recently, the continuous CBOW model… More >

Abstract Dioxin is a highly toxic and caustic substance, which widely existed in the atmosphere, soil and water with tiny particles. Dioxin pollution has become a major problem that concerns the survival of mankind, which must be strictly controlled. The bond length, bond angle, energy, dipole moment, orbital energy level distribution of dioxin under the external field are investigated using DFT (density functional theory) on basis set level of B3LYP/6-31G (d, p). The results indicate that with the increase of the electric field, the length of one Carbon-Oxygen bond increases while another Carbon-Oxygen bond decreases. The energy gradually decreases with the… More >

Abstract Steganography technology has been widely used in data transmission with secret information. However, the existing steganography has the disadvantages of low hidden information capacity, poor visual effect of cover images, and is hard to guarantee security. To solve these problems, steganography using reversible texture synthesis based on seeded region growing and LSB is proposed. Secret information is embedded in the process of synthesizing texture image from the existing natural texture. Firstly, we refine the visual effect. Abnormality of synthetic texture cannot be fully prevented if no approach of controlling visual effect is applied in the process of generating synthetic texture.… More >

Abstract Live streaming is a booming industry in China, involving an increasing number of Internet users. Previous studies show that trust is a cornerstone to develop e-commerce. Trust in the streaming industry is different from that of other e-commerce areas. There are two major dimensions of trust in the live streaming context: platform trust and cewebrity trust, which are both important for customers to adopt and reuse a specific live streaming service. We collected questionnaire data from 520 participates who have used live streaming services in China. We model the collected data and identified factors that can influence users’ propensity by… More >

Abstract Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is a rapidly growing problem with the fast development of the Internet. There are multitude DDoS detection approaches, however, three major problems about DDoS attack detection appear in the big data environment. Firstly, to shorten the respond time of the DDoS attack detector; secondly, to reduce the required compute resources; lastly, to achieve a high detection rate with low false alarm rate. In the paper, we propose an abnormal network flow feature sequence prediction approach which could fit to be used as a DDoS attack detector in the big data environment and solve aforementioned problems. We define… More >

Abstract In this paper, an effective intra prediction mode-based video strganography is proposed. Secret messages are embedded during the intra prediction of the video encoding without causing large embedding impact. The influence on the sum of absolute difference (SAD) in intra prediction modes (IPMs) reversion phenomenon is sharp when modifying IPMs. It inspires us to take the SAD prediction deviation (SPD) to define the distortion function. What is more, the mapping rule between IPMs and the codewords is introduced to further reduce the SPD values of each intra block. Syndrome-trellis code (STC) is used as the practical embedding implementation. Experimental results… More >

Abstract While smart devices based on ARM processor bring us a lot of convenience, they also become an attractive target of cyber-attacks. The threat is exaggerated as commodity OSes usually have a large code base and suffer from various software vulnerabilities. Nowadays, adversaries prefer to steal sensitive data by leaking the content of display output by a security-sensitive application. A promising solution is to exploit the hardware visualization extensions provided by modern ARM processors to construct a secure display path between the applications and the display device. In this work, we present a scheme named SecDisplay for trusted display service, it… More >

Abstract The aim of information hiding is to embed the secret message in a normal cover media such as image, video, voice or text, and then the secret message is transmitted through the transmission of the cover media. The secret message should not be damaged on the process of the cover media. In order to ensure the invisibility of secret message, complex texture objects should be chosen for embedding information. In this paper, an approach which corresponds multiple steganographic algorithms to complex texture objects was presented for hiding secret message. Firstly, complex texture regions are selected based on a kind of… More >

Abstract In the big data environment, enterprises must constantly assimilate big data knowledge and private knowledge by multiple knowledge transfers to maintain their competitive advantage. The optimal time of knowledge transfer is one of the most important aspects to improve knowledge transfer efficiency. Based on the analysis of the complex characteristics of knowledge transfer in the big data environment, multiple knowledge transfers can be divided into two categories. One is the simultaneous transfer of various types of knowledge, and the other one is multiple knowledge transfers at different time points. Taking into consideration the influential factors, such as the knowledge type,… More >

Abstract This paper presents an automated POCOFAN-POFRAME algorithm that partitions large combinational digital VLSI circuits for pseudo exhaustive testing. In this paper, a simulation framework and partitioning technique are presented to guide VLSI circuits to work under with fewer test vectors in order to reduce testing time and to develop VLSI circuit designs. This framework utilizes two methods of partitioning Primary Output Cone Fanout Partitioning (POCOFAN) and POFRAME partitioning to determine number of test vectors in the circuit. The key role of partitioning is to identify reconvergent fanout branch pairs and the optimal value of primary input node N and fanout… More >
