Multidimensional knowledge representation (MKR) is the result of integrative text mining. Analysis results from individual text mining methods such as named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, or topic detection are represented as dimensions in a knowledge base to support knowledge discovery, visualization or complex computer-aided writing tasks. Extractive text summarization is a content-oriented task which uses available information from text to shorten its length in order to summarize it. In this regard, a MKR knowledge base provides a structure which is applicable as an innovative selection instrument for text summarization. This paper introduces cross-dimensional text summarization based on dimensional selection and filtering of results retrieved from MKR knowledge base.

In modern era, one of the rising power quality (PQ) concern is harmonics distortion (HD). The HD is usually produced by increase in the utilization of nonlinear user loads at domestic level. It not only spoils the PQ but also have harmful effects on electrical appliances. So, this paper presents a new approach to mitigate the HD in home appliances rapidly by utilizing the active band pass filter (ABPF). The fast Fourier transform (FFT) technique is employed for the detection of harmonics in appliances. The band pass filter dramatically affects the response time of active filter. The suggested control methodology is capable to eliminate harmonics from distorted input voltage waveform and provides a pure sinusoidal waveform. The prototype of this model is also implemented. Experimental results along with simulation show that the proposed model is quite effective in eliminating HD despite load variations and also useful to compensate the reactive power in electronic home appliances. Hence, this technique is cost effective for domestic users with high quality performance in all aspects.

Pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is a popular localization approach. However, PDR is error prone at turning points. During a turn, a small error in heading estimation can cause severe accumulated positioning errors thereafter. In this paper, we propose a turn-based correction approach which aims to reduce the potential accumulated errors caused by inaccurate heading estimations during turns. We consider a crowdsourcing environment in which previous users' data can help in the positioning of current users. For previous and current users moving in reverse directions and turn at the same position, we match the previous user's turning position with the current user's using Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence based on the received signal strength (RSS) scans collected. Upon a match, the previous user's pre-turn positions can be used to improve the post-turn positions of the current user. Tests are done for different types of paths and the results show that the proposed approach can effectively reduce the PDR errors caused by inaccurate heading estimations at turning points.
