Understanding the dynamics of human movements is key to issues of significant current interest such as behavioral prediction, recommendation, and control of epidemic spreading. We collect and analyze big data sets of human movements in both cyberspace (through browsing of websites) and physical space (through mobile towers) and find a superlinear scaling relation between the mean frequency of visit 〈f〉 and its fluctuation σ:σ∼〈f〉β with β≈1.2. The probability distribution of the visiting frequency is found to be a stretched exponential function. We develop a model incorporating two essential ingredients, preferential return and exploration, and show that these are necessary for generating the scaling relation extracted from real data. A striking finding is that human movements in cyberspace and physical space are strongly correlated, indicating a distinctive behavioral identifying characteristic and implying that the behaviors in one space can be used to predict those in the other.
We study the query complexity of determining a hidden permutation. More specifically, we study the problem of learning a secret (z, π) consisting of a binary string z of length n and a permutation π of [n]. The secr...

MapReduce frameworks proved to be a good solution for storing and processing large amounts of data. Thanks to data parallelism, they allow to move computations very close to the storage and therefore to reduce an influence of "I/O bottleneck". Workflow Management Systems, in turn, are widely used for modeling of scientific applications. Users that are willing to use MapReduce frameworks in their workflows have to run separate environment to develop Map/Reduce operations. In this paper we propose an approach that will allow to extend existing application models by MapReduce routines. Our solution bases on DSL constructed on top of Ruby programming language. It follows examples of Sawzall and Pig Latin languages and allows to define Map/Reduce operations in minimalist way. Moreover, because the language is based on Ruby, the model allows to use user defined routines and existing Ruby libraries. A particular model of the workflow management system can be extended with our DSL letting users to use one environment for developing the workflow and MapReduce application.
In a classification problem typically we face two challenging issues, the diverse characteristic of negative documents and sometimes a lot of negative documents that are closed to positive documents. Therefore, it is ...
