Abstract Emotion detection from the text is a challenging problem in the text analytics. The opinion mining experts are focusing on the development of emotion detection applications as they have received considerable attention of online community including users and business organization for collecting and interpreting public emotions. However, most of the existing works on emotion detection used less efficient machine learning classifiers with limited datasets, resulting in performance degradation. To overcome this issue, this work aims at the evaluation of the performance of different machine learning classifiers on a benchmark emotion dataset. The experimental results show the performance of different machine… More >

Abstract Human motion recognition plays a crucial role in the video analysis framework. However, a given video may contain a variety of noises, such as an unstable background and redundant actions, that are completely different from the key actions. These noises pose a great challenge to human motion recognition. To solve this problem, we propose a new method based on the 3-Dimensional (3D) Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) framework. Our method includes two parts: The first part is the video action feature extractor, which can identify key actions by analyzing action features. In the video action encoder, by analyzing the action… More >

Abstract Recommender systems are rapidly transforming the digital world into intelligent information hubs. The valuable context information associated with the users’ prior transactions has played a vital role in determining the user preferences for items or rating prediction. It has been a hot research topic in collaborative filtering-based recommender systems for the last two decades. This paper presents a novel Context Based Rating Prediction (CBRP) model with a unique similarity scoring estimation method. The proposed algorithm computes a context score for each candidate user to construct a similarity pool for the given subject user-item pair and intuitively choose the highly influential… More >

Abstract Future wireless networks demand high spectral efficiency, energy efficiency and reliability. Cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered as one of the novel techniques to meet this demand. In this work, an adaptive power allocation scheme called SWIPT based adaptive power allocation (SWIPT-APA-NOMA) is proposed for a power domain NOMA network. The proposed scheme considers the receiver sensitivity of the end users while calculating the power allocation coefficients in order to prevent wastage of power allocated to user in outage and by offering priority to any one of the users to use… More >

Abstract Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising cryptographic solution to the problem for enforcing fine-grained access control over encrypted data in the cloud. However, when applying CP-ABE to data outsourcing scenarios, we have to address the challenging issue of policy updates because access control elements, such as users, attributes, and access rules may change frequently. In this paper, we propose a notion of access policy updatable ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (APU-CP-ABE) by combining the idea of ciphertext-policy attribute-based key encapsulation and symmetric proxy re-encryption. When an access policy update occurs, data owner is no longer required to download any data for… More >

Abstract Security-sensitive functions are the basis for building a taint-style vulnerability model. Current approaches for extracting security-sensitive functions either don’t analyze data flow accurately, or not conducting pattern analyzing of conditions, resulting in higher false positive rate or false negative rate, which increased manual confirmation workload. In this paper, we propose a security sensitive function mining approach based on preconditon pattern analyzing. Firstly, we propose an enhanced system dependency graph analysis algorithm for precisely extracting the conditional statements which check the function parameters and conducting statistical analysis of the conditional statements for selecting candidate security sensitive functions of the target program.… More >

Abstract Myocardial segmentation and classification play a major role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a kind of common chronic and life-threatening cardiopathy. Early diagnostics significantly increases the chances of correct treatment and survival. However, accurate and rapid diagnosis of DCM is still challenge due to high variability of cardiac structure, low contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, and intrinsic noise in synthetic CMR images caused by motion artifact and cardiac dynamics. Moreover, visual assessment and empirical evaluation are widely used in routine clinical diagnosis, but they are subject to high inter-observer variability and are both subjective… More >

Abstract In distributed storage systems, file access efficiency has an important impact on the real-time nature of information forensics. As a popular approach to improve file accessing efficiency, prefetching model can fetches data before it is needed according to the file access pattern, which can reduce the I/O waiting time and increase the system concurrency. However, prefetching model needs to mine the degree of association between files to ensure the accuracy of prefetching. In the massive small file situation, the sheer volume of files poses a challenge to the efficiency and accuracy of relevance mining. In this paper, we propose a… More >

Abstract When conducting company performance evaluations, the traditional method cannot reflect the distribution characteristics of the company’s operating conditions in the entire securities market. Gephi is an efficient tool for data analysis and visualization in the era of big data. It can convert the evaluation results of all listed companies into nodes and edges, and directly display them in the form of graphs, thus making up for the defects of traditional methods. This paper will take all the listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange as the analysis object. First uses tushare and web crawlers to collect the financial… More >
