Model checking is a formal verification technique. It takes an exhaustively strategy to check hardware circuits and network protocols against desired properties. Having been developed for more than three decades, model checking is now playing an important role in softwareengineering for verifying rather complicated software artifacts. This paper surveys the role of model checking in softwareengineering. In particular, we searched for the related liter- atures published at reputed conferences, symposiums, workshops, and journals, and took a survey of (1) various model checking techniques that can be adapted to software development and their implementations, and (2) the use of model checking at different stages of a software development life cycle. We observed that model checking is useful for soft- ware debugging, constraint solving, and malware detection, and it can help verify different types of software systems, such as object- and aspect-oriented systems, service-oriented applications, web-based applications, and GUI applications including safety- and mission-critical systems. The survey is expected to help human engineers understand the role of model checking in softwareengineering, and as well decide which model checking technique(s) and/or tool(s) are applicable for developing, analyzing and verifying a practical software system. For researchers, the survey also points out how model checking has been adapted to their research topics on softwareengineering and its challenges.

Missing data imputation is a fundamental task for reducing uncertainty and vagueness in medical dataset. Fuzzy-rough set has taken very important role to accurate representation original information. This paper proposes Fitted fuzzy-rough imputation algorithms called Fitted FRNNI and Fitted VQNNI by introducing weight coefficients to balance fuzzy similarly relations among training and testing instances. Meanwhile, modification fuzzy decisions of nearest neighbors based on lower/upper approximations are studied. Performance analysis is conducted including classification accuracy analysis, the impact of k parameter and weight coefficient of a and β to evaluate the proposed Fitted FRNNI and VQNNI algorithms. Experimental results on 13 benchmark datasets show that the proposed algorithms outperform current leading algorithms.

computer science (CS) subjects have been rapidly growing in popularity, and demand for CS education and training has put increasing pressure on teaching resources in higher education (HE) and elsewhere. HE in the People's Republic of China (PRC) has also been developing, with one product of this evolution being Sino-foreign HE institutions (SfHEIs). Much of the popularity growth for CS can be linked to the growth of CS-based technology and innovation, especially in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). AI/ML-based innovation has been forecast to offer increases in quality of life for consumers. However, AI/ML systems face a challenge for software quality assurance (SQA): They are so-called “untestable systems” - identifying the correctness of AI/ML system outputs or behaviour may not be feasible. Preparing SQA professionals to be able to ensure AI/ML SQA will require innovative and creative education and training. An SQA approach called metamorphic testing (MT) has a proven track record of alleviating the oracle problem, and has great potential as a testing methodology for AI/ML systems. Metamorphic exploration (ME) is a new addition to the MT literature, and involves developing the user's understanding of the system under study. This paper reports on experiences at an SfHEI of using ME and MT to test an AI/ML system.

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) assumes that all samples from the same class are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.). LDA may fail in the cases where the assumption does not hold. Particularly when a class contains several clusters (or subclasses), LDA cannot correctly depict the internal structure as the scatter matrices that LDA relies on are defined at the class level. In order to mitigate the problem, this paper proposes a neighborhood linear discriminant analysis (nLDA) in which the scatter matrices are defined on a neighborhood consisting of reverse nearest neighbors. Thus, the new discriminator does not need an i.i.d. assumption. In addition, the neighborhood can be naturally regarded as the smallest subclass, for which it is easier to be obtained than subclass without resorting to any clustering algorithms. The projected directions are sought to make sure that the within-neighborhood scatter as small as possible and the between-neighborhood scatter as large as possible, simultaneously. The experimental results show that nLDA performs significantly better than previous discriminators, such as LDA, LFDA, ccLDA, LM-NNDA, and l 2 , 1 -RLDA.

Distributed machine learning has gained lots of attention due to the rapid growth of data. In this paper, we focus regularized empirical risk minimization problems, and propose two novel Distributed Accelerated Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (D-A2DM2) algorithms for distributed classification. Based on the framework of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), we decentralize the distributed classification problem as a global consensus optimization problem with a series of sub-problems. In D-A2DM2, we exploit ADMM with variance reduction for sub-problem optimization in parallel. Taking global update and local update into consideration respectively, we propose two acceleration mechanisms in the framework of D-A2DM2. In particular, inspired by Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent, we utilize it for global update to further improve time efficiency. Moreover, we also introduce Nesterov's acceleration for local update, and develop the corrected local update and symmetric dual update to accelerate the convergence with only a little change in the computational effort. Theoretically, D-A2DM2 has a linear convergence rate. Empirically, experimental results show that D-A2DM2 converge faster than existing distributed ADMM-based classification, and could be a highly efficient algorithm for practical use.
