In this paper, a hybrid TS-DE algorithm based on Tabu search and differential evolution algorithm is proposed to solve the reliability redundancy optimization problem. A differential evolution algorithm is embedded in Tabu search algorithm. TS is applied for searching solutions space, and DE is used for generating neighborhood solutions. The advantages of both algorithms are considered simultaneously. And an adaptive hybrid TS-DE approach is developed to solve three benchmark reliability redundancy allocation problems. By comparing with other algorithms reported in previous literatures, experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and efficient for solving the reliability redundancy optimization problem.

During an epidemic, the spatial, temporal and demographical patterns of disease transmission are determined by multiple factors. Besides the physiological properties of pathogenes and hosts, the social contacts of host population, which characterize individuals' reciprocal exposures of infection in view of demographical structures and various social activities, are also pivotal to understand and further predict the prevalence of infectious diseases. The means of measuring social contacts will dominate the extent how precisely we can forecast the dynamics of infections in the real world. Most current works focus their efforts on modeling the spatial patterns of static social contacts. In this work, we address the problem on how to characterize and measure dynamical social contacts during an epidemic from a novel perspective. We propose an epidemic-model-based tensor deconvolution framework to address this issue, in which the spatiotemporal patterns of social contacts are represented by the factors of tensors, which can be discovered by a tensor deconvolution procedure with an integration of epidemic models from rich types of data, mainly including heterogeneous outbreak surveillance, social-demographic census and physiological data from medical reports. Taking SIR model as a case study, the efficacy of the proposed method is theoretically analyzed and empirically validated through a set of rigorous experiments on both synthetic and real-world data.
The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of search engines, which has become an indispensable part of everyday life. However, people are no longer satisfied with accessing to ordinary information, and they ...

A superpixels based interactive image segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper. Firstly the initial segmentation is obtained by MeanShift algorithm, and then a graph is built using pre-segmented regions as nodes, finally min-cut/maxflow algorithm is implemented for global solution. In this process, each region is represented by a color histogram and Bhattacharyya coefficient is chosen to calculate the similarity between any two regions. Extensive experiments are performed and the results show that the presented algorithm obtains much more satisfactory segmentation results with less user interaction and less comsuming time than MSRM algorithm.

In this paper, an adaptive image thresholding algorithm is proposed for thresholding images with uneven illumination. Firstly, a Gaussian scale space, which is produced from the convolution of a two-dimensional Gaussian function with an input image, is used to estimate the background image. Followed by background subtraction, the objective image can be easily obtained to eliminate interference of uneven illumination. Thirdly, to highlight those darker objects, gamma correction is employed to enhance the objective image. Finally, the thresholding result is extracted easily using the global valley-emphasis Otsu method. The experimental results show that the introduced method yields satisfactory visual quality.
The multilevel thresholding problem is a challenge task due to the fact that the computation is usually very time-consuming for obtaining the optimal multilevel thresholds. Though the state-of-the-art multilevel thres...

We describe a novel mobile visual search system based on the saliency mechanism and sparse coding principle of the human visual system (HVS). In the feature extraction step, we first divide an image into different regions using the saliency extraction algorithm. Then scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptors in all regions are extracted while regional identities are preserved based on their various saliency levels. According to the sparse coding principle in the HVS, we adopt a local neighbor preserving Hash function to establish the binary sparse expression of the SIFT features. In the searching step,
