Measuring word semantic similarity is a generic problem with a broad range of applications such as ontology mapping, computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. Previous approaches to computing word semantic similarity did not consider concept occurrence frequency and word’s sense number. This paper introduced Hyponymy graph, and based on which proposed a novel word semantic similarity model. For two words to be compared, we first retrieve their related concepts; then produce lowest common ancestor matrix and distance matrix between concepts; finally calculate distance-based similarity and information-based similarity, which are integrated to get final semantic similarity. The main contribution of our method is that both concept occurrence frequency and word’s sense number are taken into account. This similarity measurement more closely fits with human rating and effectively simulates human thinking process. Our experimental results on benchmark dataset M&C and R&G with Word Net2.1 as platform demonstrate roughly 0.9%–1.2%improvements over existing best approaches.

Trust, as a major part of human interactions, plays an important role in helping users collect reliable infor-mation and make decisions. However, in reality, user-specified trust relations are often very sparse and follow a power law distribution; hence inferring unknown trust relations attracts increasing attention in recent years. Social theories are frameworks of empirical evidence used to study and interpret social phenomena from a sociological perspective, while social networks reflect the correlations of users in real world; hence, making the principle, rules, ideas and methods of social theories into the analysis of social networks brings new opportunities for trust prediction. In this paper, we investigate how to exploit homophily and social status in trust prediction by modeling social theories. We first give several methods to compute homophily coe?cient and status coe?cient, then provide a principled way to model trust prediction mathe-matically, and propose a novel framework, hsTrust, which incorporates homophily theory and status theory. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Further experiments are conducted to understand the importance of homophily theory and status theory in trust prediction.

This paper presents a Chinese topic crawler focused on customer development, in order to meet the needs of users for more accurate and particular Internet information. The concept of meta-search engine is introduced, and the keywords are expanded by the ontology of HowNet. Through the web crawler, preprocessing and classification, the information on customer relations can be divided into three categories: company, platform and meaningless. Numerical experiments show that satisfactory results can be obtained in some particular information-seeking areas. The average accuracy for classification is more than 80%, which can meet customer needs in most cases.

Nowadays, how to design a city with more sustainable features has become a center problem in the field of social development, meanwhile it has provided a broad stage for the application of artificial intelligence theories and methods. Because the design of sustainable city is essentially a constraint optimization problem, the swarm intelligence algorithm of extensive research has become a natural candidate for solving the problem. TLBO (Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization) algorithm is a new swarm intelligence algorithm. Its inspiration comes from the 'teaching' and 'learning' behavior of teaching class in the life. The evolution of the population is realized by simulating the 'teaching' of the teacher and the student 'learning' from each other, with features of less parameters, efficient, simple thinking, easy to achieve and so on. It has been successfully applied to scheduling, planning, configuration and other fields, which achieved a good effect and has been paid more and more attention by artificial intelligence researchers. Based on the classical TLBO algorithm, we propose a TLBO_LS algorithm combined with local search. We design and implement the random generation algorithm and evaluation model of urban planning problem. The experiments on the small and medium-sized random generation problem showed that our proposed algorithm has obvious advantages over DE algorithm and classical TLBO algorithm in terms of convergence speed and solution quality.

Gabor filters are generally regarded as the most bionic filters corresponding to the visual perception of human. Their filtered coefficients thus are widely utilized to represent the texture information of irises. However, these wavelet-based iris representations are inevitably being misaligned in iris matching stage. In this paper, we try to improve the characteristics of bionic Gabor representations of each iris via combining the local Gabor features and the key-point descriptors of Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT), which respectively simulate the process of visual object class recognition in frequency and spatial domains. A localized approach of Gabor features is used to avoid the blocking effect in the process of image division, meanwhile a SIFT key point selection strategy is provided to remove the noises and probable misaligned key points. For the combination of these iris features, we propose a support vector regression based fusion rule, which may fuse their matching scores to a scalar score to make classification decision. The experiments on three public and self-developed iris datasets validate the discriminative ability of our multiple bionic iris features, and also demonstrate that the fusion system outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

Locating the source of diffusion is a challenging problem in complex networks and has great practical significance for restraining rumors propagation and controlling epidemics spreading. An efficient locating method should have a higher locating accuracy with the minimum required information. Although existing locating methods based on observers consider the time delays of edges, they compute the time delays based on the shortest path, which may differ from the actual diffusion process. Moreover, the higher locating accuracy of traditional method with observers has a great dependence on the assumption that the propagation delays along edges follow a definite distribution such as the Gaussian distribution. In order to solve these shortcomings, this paper proposes a Physarum-inspired method to locate the diffusion source that is independence of the distribution of propagation delays. Our method quantifies the nutrient transportation process in the adaptive network evolved by Physarum, which is used to simulate the information or epidemic diffusion routes in a social network. Simulation results on various benchmark networks show that our method has a better performance in terms of error distance than that of Gaussian method without assuming the definite distribution of time delays. Together with the advantage that our method does not require the sender information of observers compared with existing methods, our method allows for a wider range of applications in the real-world networks.
