We consider the network constraints on the bounds of the assortativity coefficient, which aims to quantify the tendency of nodes with the same attribute values to be connected. The assortativity coefficient can be considered as the Pearson's correlation coefficient of node metadata values across network edges and lies in the interval [−1,1]. However, properties of the network, such as degree distribution and the distribution of node metadata values, place constraints upon the attainable values of the assortativity coefficient. This is important as a particular value of assortativity may say as much about the network topology as about how the metadata are distributed over the network—a fact often overlooked in literature where the interpretation tends to focus simply on the propensity of similar nodes to link to each other, without any regard on the constraints posed by the topology. In this paper we quantify the effect that the topology has on the assortativity coefficient in the case of binary node metadata. Specifically, we look at the effect that the degree distribution, or the full topology, and the proportion of each metadata value has on the extremal values of the assortativity coefficient. We provide the means for obtaining bounds on the extremal values of assortativity for different settings and demonstrate that under certain conditions the maximum and minimum values of assortativity are severely limited, which may present issues in interpretation when these bounds are not considered.
Recently, over-parameterized neural networks have been extensively analyzed in the literature (Zhang et al., 2016;Mei et al., 2018;Du et al., 2019a). However, the previous studies cannot satisfactorily explain why ful...

Online social networks are emerging as a convenient platform where users build social relations with other individuals having similar interests, family/work background, etc. However, existing human interaction modeling is based on social graphs which are not more precise for friend suggestions in real-life. In this paper, we leverage the basic feats of deep learning for developing human interaction system, named MyCompanion, based on the user's lifestyle/activity information collected using the mobile crowd sensing. We collect a user's local knowledge, such as local information, ambient, and activity type, activity location and activity time. Then, the collected information is further aggregated and transferred to the deep learning enabled cloud server for user's daily schedule/activities analysis. We propose a schedule matching algorithm which finds the similarity among individuals' activities w.r.t. their activity type, activity time and activity location to recommend the most suitable friend(s) to the users. We develop a real-time testbed to perform a spatio-temporal analysis of the collected data from the users' smartphones. We also perform several experiments for evaluating the system performance. Our proof-of-concept prototype shows the usability of the proposed system.

Underdeveloped areas are regencies whose territories and communities are less developed than other regions at the national level. The regions of Java island are faster-developing areas than other areas outside of Java, but there are still areas in Java that are classified as underdeveloped areas. The backwardness of the area is measured based on six main criteria, namely economy, human resources, infrastructure, regional financial capacity, accessibility, and regional characteristics. This research can be carried out by compiling a model on the influencing factors of underdeveloped areas with the meta-analysis CFA TSSEM approach. The results of this study show that the analysis of the structural model can be accepted to explain the underdevelopment of areas in Java based on the result the Goodness of Fit Indicates, it is the RMSEA < 0.008 so it can be confirmed that the indicators used in infrastructure variables, HR variables, and regional characteristic variables are suitable to be used to measure the underdeveloped areas in Java.

Information in histology slides are usually visualized by different staining techniques, each of them unveils specific chemical and biological substances within tissue samples. Correlations between different stains can be useful to predict how certain tissue slides may look like if they were stained by other staining techniques. This work investigates two stains including hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in digital pathological slides. Four cases of surgical biopsies were used in this work. The specimens were subjected to two consecutive stains with a decoloring process based on ethanol and potassium permanganate in between. After each stain, slides were digitized and archived as results. Comparing the effects of the two staining pipelines, IHC slides after decoloring of H&E showed that the cell structure was clear, the positive IHC staining was accurate, the background of the slide was clean, there was no DAB residue, and tissue fragments were intact. However, the other pipeline where IHC was stained before H&E showed that the nuclear border was blurred. Eosin is lightly colored resulting in low contrast visualization of nucleoplasm, DAB is not completely decolored, and parts of tissue were fragmented. We conclude that, from the proposed staining and decoloring technique, tissue slides could be stained with IHC more effectively on decolored H&E slides than those stained with H&E after IHC. Utilizing digital section scanning technology, we can obtain pairs of tissue images stained differently while preserving the exact same tissue structure.
