The determination of reliable early-warning indicators of economic crises is a hot topic in economic sciences. Pinning down recurring patterns or combinations of macroeconomic indicators is indispensable for adequate policy adjustments to prevent a looming crisis. We investigate the ability of several macroeconomic variables telling crisis countries apart from non-crisis economies. We introduce a self-calibrated clustering-algorithm, which accounts for both similarity and dissimilarity in macroeconomic fundamentals across countries. Furthermore, imposing a desired community structure, we allow the data to decide by itself, which combination of indicators would have most accurately foreseen the exogeneously defined network topology. We quantitatively evaluate the degree of matching between the data-generated clustering and the desired community-structure.

Analyzing atomically resolved images is a time-consuming process requiring solid experience and substantial human intervention. In addition, the acquired images contain a large amount of information such as crystal structure, presence and distribution of defects, and formation of domains, which need to be resolved to understand a material's surface structure. Therefore, machine learning techniques have been applied in scanning probe and electron microscopies during the last years, aiming for automatized and efficient image analysis. This work introduces a free and open source tool (AiSurf: Automated Identification of Surface Images) developed to inspect atomically resolved images via scale-invariant feature transform and clustering algorithms. AiSurf extracts primitive lattice vectors, unit cells, and structural distortions from the original image, with no pre-assumption on the lattice and minimal user intervention. The method is applied to various atomically resolved non-contact atomic force microscopy images of selected surfaces with different levels of complexity: anatase TiO2(101), oxygen deficient rutile TiO2(110) with and without CO adsorbates, SrTiO3(001) with Sr vacancies and graphene with C vacancies. The code delivers excellent results and is tested against atom misclassification and artifacts, thereby facilitating the interpretation of scanning probe microscopy images.

Ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) is a density-based clustering algorithm that allows the exploration of the cluster structure in the dataset by outputting an ordered queue called cluster ordering. However, this nonexplicit output makes it greatly more difficult for practitioners to identify cluster patterns and obtain high-quality clusters. In this paper, we firstly investigate OPTICS in depth and identify the challenges facing users of OPTICS for cluster analysis through a pilot user study. Then, integrating human intelligence deeply with the machine intelligence of OPTICS, a visual analytics approach, VizOPTICS, is proposed to support practitioners in understanding and applying OPTICS to extract meaningful clustering results. It includes an ordered lattice plot for observing the generation process of cluster ordering, a density scatter plot for analyzing the cluster structure in datasets, and a dynamic reachability plot for optimizing clustering results, and also provides several interaction modes, such as selecting and highlighting, to help users analyze the cluster formation and algorithm operation processes interactively. Finally, we assess our approach through four case studies and a user evaluation study. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the system.

In many electronic commerce systems, detecting significant clusters is of great value to the analysis, design, and optimization of the commerce behaviors. In this article, we propose a new dynamical approach to detect the cluster configuration fast and accurately which can be applied to electronic commerce systems. First, we analyze the two-stage game in which the leader group members make contributions prior to the follower group, and propose an exact index, i.e., the leadership, to characterize the key leaders. Then an efficient dynamical system is used to guarantee the cluster configuration converges to an optimal state, which assigns each node to the corresponding cluster based on quality optimization, repeatedly. Our method is of high efficiency-the exponential term in the proposed dynamical system makes the convergence to be very fast with a nearly linear time. Extensive experiments on multiple types of datesets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of proposed method.

Cloud computing is considerably investigable and adoptable in both industry and academia, and Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been applied in cloud computing. Although SDN mitigates some security issues in cloud computing, new security issues related to its own architecture are also introduced. In this paper, we propose a quantum walks-based classification model which is available for intrusion detection in cloud computing. The proposed model concentrates feature information of data via Principal Component Analysis, and then aggregates the concentrated data in the way of quantum walks by a training-free clustering algorithm. The clustering algorithm constructs coin transformation and conditional shift transformation based on transition probabilities to move similar data toward each other. To enhance the usability of the proposed model in cloud computing security, we propose a new cloud architecture which adds security layer in SDN to ponder the protection of cloud computing fundamentally, and simplify transition probabilities equations of clustering algorithm without affecting clustering accuracy, decreasing the time complexity from O(nk2) to O(nk). The experimental results on popular datasets (Accuracy: 99.4% on InSDN, 95.8% on NSL-KDD, 98% on UNSW-NB15 and 96.4% on CSE-CIC-IDS2018) revealed that the proposed model is effective dealing with attacks on SDN-based cloud computing, and is able to maintain stable and excellent attack identification ability under different traffic intensities.

The topology of the distributed cognitive radio network is volatile as influenced by the behavior of primary users, and this condition leads to the large communication overhead and low utilization of spectrum resources. A combination weighted clustering algorithm is proposed in the study to reduce the communication overhead of the distributed cognitive network and maintain the stability of the network structure. First, a clustering algorithm considering the available channel, geographic location, and experienced data (used for collecting the behavior of secondary users (SUs) in the network and the evaluation on it) of SUs is put forward through analyzing the characteristics of the idle channels in cognitive network. Three factors, namely, average channel capacity, stability, and channel quality, are converted into quantifiable values. The cluster head is determined on the basis of the three factors. Then, the cluster members and gateway nodes are determined using the weighting formula and the location information of the cluster head. Results show that the proposed clustering algorithm can generate 15% more clusters than other algorithms and reduce 40% of network communication overhead when the transmission distance between cognitive users and the channel number change. Thus, the stability of the cluster structure is maintained and the communication overhead is decreased. This study provides references for the construction of the stable distributed cognitive network.

In image retrieval, the major challenge is that the number of images in the gallery is large and irregular, which results in low retrieval accuracy. This paper analyzes the disadvantages of the PAM (partitioning around medoid) clustering algorithm in image data classification and the excessive consumption of time in the computation process of searching clustering representative objects using the PAM clustering algorithm. Fireworks particle swarm algorithm is utilized in the optimization process. PF-PAM algorithm, which is an improved PAM algorithm, is proposed and applied in image retrieval. First, extract the feature vector of the image in the gallery for the first clustering. Next, according to the clustering results, the most optimal cluster center is searched through the firework particle swarm algorithm to obtain the final clustering result. Finally, according to the incoming query image, determine the related image category and get similar images. The experimental comparison with other approaches shows that this method can effectively improve retrieval accuracy.

The purpose is to further promote the integration of advanced technology in the field of drama. Under the background of artificial intelligence of Internet of things, drama language is analyzed by using a clustering algorithm of data mining technology. The original K-means algorithm is compared with the improved K-means algorithm through the use and analysis of the corresponding data mining methods. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model clustering is used to test the randomly selected texts. The results suggest that the improved algorithm is more reliable and efficient in data analysis and clustering effect, which proves the availability of the improved K-means algorithm. The specific research content can provide a scientific and effective reference for the follow-up research of text mining analysis.

The concept of community energy storage system (CESS) is required for the efficient and reliable utilization of renewable energy and flexible energy sharing among consumers. This paper proposes a novel approach to assess the practical benefits of CESS deployment in a residential community by decreasing the daily electricity cost and maximizing the self-consumption of PV energy. To this end, a deep-learning-based forecasting model, namely a bi-directional long short-term memory model, is implemented to predict the operational constraints and dependency. Furthermore, a hybrid optimization technique that comprises a clustering and optimization algorithm is developed in which the clustering algorithm ensures appropriate combinations of user groups to develop optimal control policies. Finally, the forecasting model is integrated with the hybrid optimization algorithm to find the optimal solution involving PV-CESS energy utilization. Numerical analyses are performed using real historic data of the energy demand and PV generation for three consecutive days considering different scenarios. The results demonstrate that the electricity costs and self-consumption associated with the CESS are lower and greater than those of an individual ESS system, respectively, with the daily electricity cost decreasing by 21.89%, 13.81%, and 7.66% in the three analyzed scenarios.
