Modern educational theories, such as collaborative learning, constructivism and inquiry learning, have achieved many successes in real-world applications. Especially, with the development of information technologies, there have been several online collaborative learning platforms in practice. Unfortunately, as these platforms are either too complicated or too expensive, none of them are suitable for us in the practice of STEM+. Moreover, most of these platforms are in English, while we are using Chinese as our teaching language. Using an online collaborative learning platform (OCLP) named Zask, this paper reported our practice in online collaborative learning on course Introduction to database System. According to the data collected from the first round of our practice, it shows that users' active participations in Zask could benefit for both teaching and learning, and then provide positive effects in education.
Representing images by bag of visual codes (BoVC) features has been the cornerstone of state-of-the-art image classification system. Since the BoVC features depend on a precomputed codebook in use, when the codebook a...

In this paper we describe our image annotation system par ticipated in the ImageCLEF 2013 scalable concept image annotation task. The system leverages multiple base classifiers, including single feature and multi-feature kNN classifiers and histogram intersection ker nel SVMs, all of which are learned from the provided 250K web images and provided features with no extra manual verification. These base clas sifiers are combined into a stacked model, with the combination weights optimized to maximize the geometric mean of F-samples, F-concepts, and AP-samples metrics on the provided development set. By varying the configuration of the system, we submitted five runs. Evaluation re sults show that for all of our runs, model stacking with optimized weights performs best. Our system can annotate diverse Internet images purely based on the visual content, at the following accuracy level: F-samples of 0.290, F-concepts of 0.304, and AP-samples of 0.380. What is more, a system-to-system comparison reveals that our system and the best sub mission this year are complementary with respect to the best annotated concepts, suggesting the potential for future improvement.
Although there have been many efforts for management of uncertain data, evaluating probabilistic inference queries, a known NP-hard problem, is still a big challenge, especially for querying data with highly correlati...

This paper addresses a new text classification method: Sparse Topic Model, which represents documents by the sparse coding of topics. Topics contain more semantic information than words, so it's more effective for feature representation of documents. Topics are extracted from documents by LDA in an unsupervised way. Based on these topics, sparse coding is applied to discover more high-level representation. We compare the Sparse Topic Model with the traditional methods, such as SVM, and the experimental result show that the proposed method achieves better performance, especially when the number of training examples is limited. The effect of topic number and word number per topic on the performance is also investigated. Due to the unsupervised characteristic of Sparse Topic Model, it's very useful for real application.
Although pseudo relevant feedback is an effective query expansion method, query drift away from the topic has been occurred frequently. Therefore, the first important problem is how to identify relevant documents in t...

Recently there has been a lot of interest in graph-based analysis, with examples including social network analysis, recommendation systems, document classification and clustering, and so on. A graph is an abstraction that naturally captures data objects as well as relationships among those objects. Objects are represented as nodes and relationships are represented as edges in the graph. There are many cases in which similarities among nodes are required to compute. SimRank is one of the simple and intuitive algorithms for this purpose. It is rigidly based on the random walk theorem. Existing methods on SimRank computation suffer from one limitation: the computing cost can be very high in practice. In order to optimize the computation of SimRank, a few techniques have been proposed. However, the performance of these methods are still limited by the processing ability of the single computer. Ideally, we would like to develop new parallel solutions that can offer improved processing power to compute SimRank on large data set. In this paper, we propose parallel algorithms for SimRank computation on Map-Reduce framework, and more specifically its open source implementation, Hadoop. Two different parallel methods are proposed and their performances are evaluated and compared. Furthermore, we employ the proposed methods to do the similarity computation in order to recommend appropriate products to users in social recommender systems.
