Customer knowledge discovery from online reviews

The explosive growth of Chinese electronic market has made it possible for companies to better understand consumers?? opinion towards their products in a timely fashion through their online reviews. This study proposes a framework for extracting knowledge from online reviews through text mining and econometric analysis. Specifically, we extract product features, detect topics, and identify determinants of customer satisfaction. An experiment on the online reviews from a Chinese leading B2C (Business-to-Customer) website demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed method. We also present some findings about the characteristics of Chinese reviewers.     

Influence of base resistance on extracting thermal resistance for SiGe HBTs

In this article, the influence of base resistance on extracting thermal resistance for SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors is studied and an improved approach for determining the junction temperature and thermal resistance is presented. The proposed method for extracting thermal resistance is based on the temperature sensitivity of the base–emitter (B–E) voltage when the device is biased with a fixed emitter current density. This approach not only takes into account the self‐heating during the different ambient temperature measurement but also revises the empirical equation of B–E voltage due to the influence of base resistance during the power dissipation increment measurement. Results are obtained for devices with different emitter lengths and fingers. Compared with the conventional method, the thermal resistance is about up to 15% improvement for the device with 0.3 × 1.9 μm² emitter area and 13.8% for the device with 0.3 × 13.9 μm² emitter area. The accurate thermal resistance implemented in HICUM model has resulted in better fit for transistor output characteristics. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2012.     

Fuzzy local maximal marginal embedding for feature extraction

In graph-based linear dimensionality reduction algorithms, it is crucial to construct a neighbor graph that can correctly reflect the relationship between samples. This paper presents an improved algorithm called fuzzy local maximal marginal embedding (FLMME) for linear dimensionality reduction. Significantly differing from the existing graph-based algorithms is that two novel fuzzy gradual graphs are constructed in FLMME, which help to pull the near neighbor samples in same class nearer and nearer and repel the far neighbor samples of margin between different classes farther and farther when they are projected to feature subspace. Through the fuzzy gradual graphs, FLMME algorithm has lower sensitivities to the sample variations caused by varying illumination, expression, viewing conditions and shapes. The proposed FLMME algorithm is evaluated through experiments by using the WINE database, the Yale and ORL face image databases and the USPS handwriting digital databases. The results show that the FLMME outperforms PCA, LDA, LPP and local maximal marginal embedding.     

The analysis of global input-to-state stability for piecewise affine systems with time-delay

In this paper, global input-to-state stability (ISS) for discrete-time piecewise affine systems with time-delay are considered. Piecewise quadratic ISS-Lyapunov functions are adopted. Both Lyapunov-Razumikhin and Lyapunov-Krasovskii methods are used. The theorems of Lyapunov-Razumikhin type and Lyapunov-Krasovskii type for piecewise affine systems with time-delay are shown, respectively.     

Hysteresis Compensation and Adaptive Controller Design for a Piezoceramic Actuator System in Atomic Force Microscopy

This paper presents an indirect adaptive controller combined with hysteresis compensation to achieve high accuracy positioning control of piezoceramic actuators and illustrates the results with an atomic force microscope (AFM) application. A dynamic model of a piezoceramic actuator system in AFM is derived and analyzed. A feedforward controller based on the Preisach model is proposed to compensate for the nonlinear hysteresis effects. Then an indirect adaptive controller is designed to achieve desired tracking performance as well as deal with the uncompensated nonlinearity from hysteresis and the system parameter variation due to creep. Experimental results indicate that the proposed controller can significantly improve the positioning control accuracy of the piezoceramic actuator as well as achieve high image quality of the AFM system. The maximum scanning error was reduced from 2µm to 0.3µm in comparison with a proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller.

New constructions of OSBE schemes and their applications in oblivious access control

Oblivious signature-based envelope (OSBE) schemes have demonstrated their potential applications in the protection of users privacy and rights. In an OSBE protocol, an encrypted message can only be decrypted by the receiver who holds a valid signature on a public message, while the sender (encrypter) does not know whether the receiver has the signature or not. Our major contributions in this work lie in the following aspects. We improve the notion of OSBE so that a valid credential holder cannot share his/her credential with other users (i.e., all-or-nothing non-transferability). We clarify the relationship between one-round OSBE and identity-based encryption (IBE) and show that one-round OSBE and semantically secure IBE against the adaptively chosen identity attack (IND-ID-CPA) are equivalent, if the signature in the OSBE scheme is existentially unforgeable against adaptively chosen message attacks. We propose an oblivious access control scheme to protect user privacy without the aid of any zero-knowledge proof. Finally, we also highlight some other novel applications of OSBE, such as attributed-based encryption.     

基于人类视觉模型的各向异性扩散滤波方法

针对各向异性扩散模型中扩散系数的梯度阈值确定问题进行了研究,提出了一种基于人类视觉模型的各向异性扩散滤波器。首先在PM方程的基础上研究了各向异性扩散系数中梯度阈值的取值问题。根据仿生学原理,分析了韦伯比曲线,将图像根据背景亮度划分为不同的区域,分别采用不同的公式计算梯度阈值。然后讨论了改进后算法在8邻域内的离散实现问题。仿真结果表明,与传统的恒常梯度阈值扩散模型相比,改进后的算法在有效保留图像重要信息的同时对噪声的抑制效果更为理想。
