Truth discovery is an effective tool to unearth truthful answers in crowdsourced question answering systems. Incentive mechanisms are necessary in such systems to stimulate worker participation. However, most of existing incentive mechanisms only consider compensating workers' resource cost, while the cost incurred by potential privacy leakage has been rarely incorporated. More importantly, to the best of our knowledge, how to provide personalized payments for workers with different privacy demands remains uninvestigated thus far. In this paper, we propose a contract-based personalized privacy-preserving incentive mechanism for truth discovery in crowdsourced question answering systems, named PINTION, which provides personalized payments for workers with different privacy demands as a compensation for privacy cost, while ensuring accurate truth discovery. The basic idea is that each worker chooses to sign a contract with the platform, which specifies a privacy-preserving level (PPL) and a payment, and then submits perturbed answers with that PPL in return for that payment. Specifically, we respectively design a set of optimal contracts under both complete and incomplete information models, which could maximize the truth discovery accuracy, while satisfying the budget feasibility, individual rationality and incentive compatibility properties. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets validate the feasibility and effectiveness of PINTION.
In this paper we first extend the diminishing stepsize method for nonconvex constrained problems presented in [4] to deal with equality constraints and a nonsmooth objective function of composite type. We then conside...

The paper develops new results on the stability analysis of differential linear repetitive processes. These processes are a distinct class of two-dimensional systems that arise in the modelling of physical processes and also the existing systems theory for them can be used to effect in solving control problems for other classes of systems, including iterative learning control design. This paper uses a version of the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma to develop relaxed conditions for the stability property in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The main result is reduced conservatism in applying tests for the stability property with an extension to control law design. A numerical example to illustrate the application of the new results is also given.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel time-frequency analysis method implementing adaptive variational mode decomposition (AVMD) and Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) to visualize the local features of ship radiated noise. Unlike the traditional methods are invalid under low signal to noise ratio (SNR), the proposed method is suitable for constructing time-frequency (TF) image with the capability of mining the local feature information accurately. Firstly, we employ complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) on the raw signal to determine the numbers of variational modes which is equal to intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) numbers. Secondly, we perform VMD algorithm to extract the local features absolutely by decomposing the raw signal into IMFs, where we set the IMFs gained by CEEMDAN as the input parameter of VMD. Finally, we adopt Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) to draw TF signatures of all the IMFs, then superpose them to reconstruct the objected signal that can solve the cross-item problem. We have conducted the comparative experiments by the real oceanic data. Under the different SNRs, we have verified the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, also obtained better performance in terms of resolution than compared algorithm.
