Antenna arrays are used in many digital signal processing applications due to their ability to locate signal sources. Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation is a key task of array signal processing. Although various algorithms have been developed for DOA estimation, their high complexity prevents their use in real-time applications. In this paper, we design and develop an efficient parallel implementation of DOA on DSP which is the most widely used processor in embedded system. Due to the potential parallelism in MUSIC algorithm, it is selected for 2-D DOA estimation. Two computational cores in MUSIC are identified and parallelized. Vectorization of multiple single precision floating point operations is proposed to make good use of the 128-bit vectors on DSP C6678. Then, the parallel DOA estimation algorithm is implemented on one core of DSP C6678 which is the latest version up to now. Experiments are conducted on both 1-D and 2-D antenna array signals. Considerable performance improvement is obtained. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Ranking research productivity of institutions periodically is of a great necessity nowadays, for that can not only help understand the latest development level of related fields but also contribute to finding gaps and quickly improve. In previous studies, the number of publications and further impact factors of journals is two widely used indexes to measure research productivity. However, impact factors do not always tally with a quality of the journal, which will lead to a bias of research productivity. Given this, a new journal rating adjusted publications (JRAP) index is constructed in this paper, which is based on the journal rating of the ABS journal guide. It takes the quantity of publications and the quality of the publications into account at the same time. Compared with impact factors, academic journal guide can provide more authoritative and accurate measurement to the quality of journals. Experiments are conducted to rank Asia-Pacific institutions in business and management area based on JRAP, and it is the first time to rank Asia-Pacific institutions systematically. Ranking of institutions measured by three methods is also given. Compared the results obtained by three different rank methods, although institutions ranked in the top places keep the same, the specific rank differs. The results indicate that JRAP do prefer the institutions perform well in paper quantity and quality of journals.

Recently, document similarity detection technology captures a host of researchers' attention. In this paper, we propose to integrate linear SVM with f-fractional bit minwise hashing to make a wide range of choices for accuracy and storage space requirements. According to the derived properties of f-fractional bit minwise hashing, we obtained the optimal combination of fractional bit with the minimum estimator of variances and ultimately applied it to the process of integration. The innovation of this algorithm is the continuous selectivity of bit instead of the discrete integer value, which not only improves the theoretical system of b-bit minwise hashing SVM algorithm, but also satisfies the various needs of accuracy and storage space in the practical system. Due to the nonlinear of the resemblance matrix considered as kernel matrix, it can not be used in linear SVM training directly. However, in the theoretical analysis, we provide the proof of positive definiteness for resemblance matrix generated by f-fractional bit minwise hashing scheme, which is a logical and feasible basis for the integration. Meanwhile, experimental results on publicly available large-scale datasets validate the effectiveness of this algorithm.

How to balance the speed and the quality is always a challenging issue in pedestrian detection. In this paper, we introduce the Learning model Using Privileged Information (LUPI), which can accelerate the convergence rate of learning and effectively improve the quality without sacrificing the speed. In more detail, we give the clear definition of the privileged information, which is only available at the training stage but is never available for the testing set, for the pedestrian detection problem and show how much the privileged information helps the detector to improve the quality. All experimental results show the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method, at the same time show that the privileged information offers a significant improvement.

The New Third Board Market is China's OTC market, established in 2006. Compared to China's Main Board Market and the Second Board Market, it attracts a lot of start-up companies needing financing with lower listing requirements. Meanwhile, it is full of opportunities and challenges that appeal to numerous securities traders and investors with the rapid development momentum. This paper is intended to build a comprehensive and systematic knowledge framework of China's New Third Board Market for those enterprises and individuals interested in it, and to provide a research base for future researchers.

Radar signal sorting is a key technique in electronic reconnaissance systems and is currently an important research direction in radar signal processing. Clustering, one of datamining techniques, has been adopted to solve radar sorting problem. However, none of the existing clustering-based methods is able to perform real-time analysis on high speed radar stream. Therefore, in this paper, we propose, design and implement a high performance FPGA-based data stream mining system to perform real-time radar signal sorting on continuous data stream. Firstly, a density-based clustering algorithm is proposed for radar signal sorting;secondly, FPGA-based program of the clustering algorithm is designed and implemented;thirdly, the FPGA board is designed and implemented. Experiments are performed on the board we designed. The results show that the proposed system can achieve real-time radar signal sorting on FPGA, and the resource consumption on FPGA is very low. The clustering algorithm is efficient in terms of accuracy. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Recommender system is able to suggest items that are likely to be preferred by the user. Traditional recommendation algorithms use the predicted rating scores to represent the degree of user preference, called rating-based recommendation methods. Recently, ranking-based algorithms have been proposed and widely used, which use ranking to present the user preference rather than rating scores. In this paper, we propose two novel methods to overcome the weaknesses in VSRank, a state-of-the-art ranking-based algorithm. Firstly, a novel similarity measure is proposed to make better use of negative similarity;secondly, social network information is integrated into the model to smooth ranking. Experimental results on a publicly available dataset demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the existing widely used ranking-based algorithms and rating-based algorithms considerably.

In this paper, we propose an activity auto-completion (AAC) model for human activity prediction by formulating activity prediction as a query auto-completion (QAC) problem in information retrieval. First, we extract discriminative patches in frames of videos. A video is represented based on these patches and divided into a collection of segments, each of which is regarded as a character typed in the search box. Then a partially observed video is considered as an activity prefix, consisting of one or more characters. Finally, the missing observation of an activity is predicted as the activity candidates provided by the auto-completion model. The candidates are matched against the activity prefix on-the-fly and ranked by a learning-to-rank algorithm. We validate our method on UT-Interaction Set #1 and Set #2 [19]. The experimental results show that the proposed activity auto-completion model achieves promising performance.
