This study proposes a new constraint handling technique for assisting metaheuristic optimization algorithms to solve constrained optimization problems more effectively and efficiently. Given any two solutions of any constrained optimization problems, they are first mapped into a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with their objective function value differences and constraint violation differences as the two axes. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to deal with constraints by building such a Cartesian coordinate system. Then, the Cartesian coordinate system is divided into a series of grids by assigning ranks to different intervals of differences. In this way, a pairwise comparison criterion is derived with the use of the fused ranks, which achieves non-hierarchical comparison neither preferring objective function values nor constraint violations, resulting in more accurate evaluation compared with existing techniques. Moreover, an evaluation function that is equivalent to the pairwise comparison criterion is proposed, which further improves computational efficiency. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed constraint handling technique are verified on two well-known public datasets, that is, CEC 2006 and CEC 2017. The results demonstrate that metaheuristic optimization algorithms with using the proposed constraint handling technique can converge to a feasible optimal solution faster and more reliably. Experimental analysis on the parameters involved reveal guidance for their optimal *** Codes 90-08 (Primary) Copyright © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The construction of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is critical for the widespread use of EVs. Appropriate design of EV charging stations should fulfill charging requests while considering various economic issues. In this regard, we present an optimization model to address the sizing problem of EV charging stations with integration of renewable energy resources, energy storage system and multi-types of chargers. The proposed model aims at reducing the investment cost and improving the profitability of EV charging stations. In order to accurately estimate EV charging demand, the characteristics of EV charging behaviors are derived based on real-world charging data. Furthermore, a charging scheduling strategy that responds to time-of-use (TOU) price and charging demand levels is proposed to improve the utilization efficiency of chargers. Results show that the design of EV charging stations with integrated consideration of these components and charging scheduling strategy can achieve optimal economic efficiency. © 2022, The Authors.

With the progress of science and technology, a large number of scientific papers are published every year. Faced with such large data, identifying high-value research and hot research directions has become an interesting and important task. Previous studies focus less on the popularity measurement of research papers. In this paper, we use a dynamic topic model (DTM) for tracking the topic evolution trend and measuring the popularity of research papers based on the topic hotness. To test our model effectiveness, we conduct experiments on 5,964 research papers in the category of management. Our results show that DTM can help to monitor topic evolution and measuring popularity for scientific literature.

Music recommender systems play a critical role in music streaming platforms by providing users with music that they are likely to enjoy. Recent studies have shown that user emotions can influence users’ preferences for music moods. However, existing emotion-aware music recommender systems (EMRSs) explicitly or implicitly assume that users’ actual emotional states expressed through identical emotional words are homogeneous. They also assume that users’ music mood preferences are homogeneous under the same emotional state. In this article, we propose four types of heterogeneity that an EMRS should account for: emotion heterogeneity across users, emotion heterogeneity within a user, music mood preference heterogeneity across users, and music mood preference heterogeneity within a user. We further propose a Heterogeneity-aware Deep Bayesian Network (HDBN) to model these assumptions. The HDBN mimics a user’s decision process of choosing music with four components: personalized prior user emotion distribution modeling, posterior user emotion distribution modeling, user grouping, and Bayesian neural network-based music mood preference prediction. We constructed two datasets, called EmoMusicLJ and EmoMusicLJ-small, to validate our method. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms baseline approaches on metrics of HR, Precision, NDCG, and MRR. Ablation studies and case studies further validate the effectiveness of our HDBN. The source code and datasets are available at https://***/jingrk/HDBN. Copyright © 2024, The Authors.

As dramatic weather changes complexify the change of runoff and introduce significant uncertainties, probabilistic runoff forecasting becomes increasingly important for water resource managers because it can quantify the uncertainty in the prediction process. However, little research has been conducted on how to employ decomposition techniques rationally in probabilistic prediction while effectively considering external factors. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a novel framework for probabilistic runoff forecasting, which incorporates several key components. It first utilizes the stepwise decomposition (SD) technique to prevent the information leakage problem. Then an external feature integration structure is designed to enhance the learning ability of the neural network for various features and decomposition sequences. The boundary correction technique is implemented to mitigate the boundary distortion problem. This comprehensive framework is named SDIFC. Building upon this framework, we achieve a synergistic integration of three distinct methods: seasonal-trend decomposition procedures based on loess (STL), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and quantile regression long short-term memory (QRLSTM). This method is referred to as STL-LASSO-QRLSTM. We employ two datasets from the Lutaizi and Wangjiaba stations in China to conduct case studies. Several hybrid models and comparison frameworks are developed to conduct adequate comparative experiments, which are evaluated using six metrics that measure deterministic and probabilistic performance. The findings show that the predictive power of the proposed model exceeds comparative methods based on the normal and SD frameworks. This research holds immense importance for developing probabilistic models based on deep learning for runoff forecasting. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Faced with huge market potential and increasing competition in emerging industries, product manufacturers with key technologies tend to consider whether to implement a component open-supply strategy. This study focuses on a pricing game induced by the component open-supply strategy between a vertically integrated manufacturer (who produces key components and end products) and an exterior product manufacturer (who produces end products using purchased key components) with different customer perceived value and different cost structure. This study first establishes a three-stage pricing game model and proposes demand functions by incorporating relative customer perceived value. Based on the demand functions, we obtain feasible regions of the exterior manufacturer's sourcing decision and the optimal price decision in each region. Then the effects of relative customer perceived value, cost structure, and market structure on price decisions and optimal profits of the vertically integrated manufacturer are demonstrated. Finally, as for the optimal component supply strategy, we present a generalized closed-supply Pareto zone and establish supply strategy Pareto zones under several specific configurations.

This paper investigates a newly emerging recommendation strategy for online niche products, that is, a multichannel retailer recommends online niche products for instore shoppers. Such cross-channel recommendations make more customers aware of niche products, generating a positive information effect for the online channel. It also increases the interaction between online and offline channels. However, it is unclear how the provision of cross-channel recommendations influences the channel relationship when online and offline channels sell common products. Our analysis reveals that the cross-channel recommendation can increase the offline price and sales of common products, which benefits the offline channel. But the online sales of common products are decreased, causing a cannibalization effect on the online channel. The negative effect on common products can be dominated by the positive information effect on niche products when recommending a high-price niche product. In such case, the online channel benefits from cross-channel recommendations and channel synergy is achieved. From the perspective of a multichannel retailer, recommending high-price niche products to in-store shoppers can increase the retailer’s overall profit although the market for common product might shrink. Focusing on the target market with a high potential market scale of recommended customers and increasing the recommendation precision can make cross-channel recommendations more effective. © 2022, The Authors.

Early detection of anxiety is crucial for reducing the suffering of individuals with mental disorders and improving treatment outcomes. Utilizing an mHealth platform for anxiety screening can be particularly practical in improving screening efficiency and reducing costs. However, the effectiveness of existing methods has been hindered by differences in mobile devices used to capture subjects' physical and mental evaluations, as well as by the variability in data quality and small sample size problems encountered in real-world settings. To address these issues, we propose a framework with spatiotemporal feature fusion for detecting anxiety nonintrusively. We use a feature extraction network based on a 3D convolutional network and long short-term memory ("3DCNN+LSTM") to fuse the spatiotemporal features of facial behavior and noncontact physiology, which reduces the impact of uneven data quality. Additionally, we design a similarity assessment strategy to address the issue of deteriorating model accuracy due to small sample sizes. Our framework is validated with a crew dataset from the real world and two public datasets: the University of Burgundy Franche-Comté Psychophysiological (UBFC-Phys) dataset and the Smart Reasoning for Well-being at Home and at Work for Knowledge Work (SWELL-KW) dataset. The experimental results indicate that our framework outperforms the comparison methods. © 2022, CC BY-NC-SA.
