Movie recommendation is a very popular service in internet based movie related websites such as NetFlix, MovieLens. The performance of the recommendation plays the key role in the user experience. Existing works have shown that combining content based and collaborative filtering based algorithms is the best way for movie recommendation. Nevertheless, the performance of this hybrid algorithm is strongly depended on the strategy how to combine the basic pure algorithms. Existing works usually use a static combination strategy which may generate even worse performance for some users. To solve this problems, in this paper we propose a new item based hybrid algorithm that uses a dynamic user adaptive combination strategy. Besides, we also exploit the external open resources IMDB as the movie content data. Experiments on real datasets show that the dynamic user adaptive combination strategy can significantly enhance the performance of the recommendation and the external open resource IMDB is a very good information resource for recommendation.

Traditional methods based on bag-of-word representation are easily affected by noise, and they also cannot handle the problem when a test distribution differs from the training distribution. In this paper, we propose a novel method for human action recognition by bagging data dependent representation. Different with traditional methods, the proposed method represents each video by several histograms. These histograms are obtained by bagging according to an estimated prior several times in both training and testing. The data dependent property of our method depends on the prior which reflects the training distribution. There are two advantages of the proposed method. First, it alleviates the distribution difference between training set and test set. Second, the bagging operation reduces noise and improves the performance significantly. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Making recognition more reliable under unconstrained environment is one of the most important challenges for realworld face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for unconstrained face verification. First, we use a spectral-clustering method based on Structural Similarity index to estimate the captured environments of facial images. Then for each pair of environments, we learn two coupled metrics, such that facial images captured in different environments can be transformed into a media subspace, and high recognition performance can be achieved. The coupled transformations are jointly determined by solving an optimization problem in the multi-task learning framework. Experimental results on the benchmark dataset (LFW) show the effectiveness of the proposed method in face verification across varying environments.

The rapid increasing popularity of micro-blogging has made it an important information seeking channel. By detecting recent popular topics from micro-blogging, we have opportunities to gain insights into internet hotspots. Generally, a topic's popularity is determined by two primary factors. One is how frequently a topic is discussed by users, and the other is how much influence those users have, since topics shown in the influential users' posts are more likely to attract others' attention. However, existing approaches interpret a topic's popularity with only the number of keywords related to it, which neglect the importance of the user influence to information diffusion in micro-blogging. In this paper, drawing upon the Cognitive Authority Theory and Social Network Theory, we propose a novel model that detects the most popular topics in micro-blogging with a user interest-based method. The proposed model first constructs a topic graph according to users' interests and their following relationship, and then calculates the topics' popularity with a link-based ranking algorithm. The popular topics detected by the method can reflect the relationship among users' interests, and the topics in the posts of influential users can be highlighted. Experimental results on the data of Twitter, a well-known and feature-rich micro-blogging service, show that the proposed method is effective in popular topic discovery.

Recently, attributes have been introduced to help object classification. Multi-task learning is an effective methodology to achieve this goal, which shares low-level features between attribute and object classifiers. Yet such a method neglects the constraints that attributes impose on classes which may fail to constrain the semantic relationship between the attribute and object classifiers. In this paper, we explicitly consider such attribute-object relationship, and correspondingly, we modify the multi-task learning model by adding attribute regularization. In this way, the learned model not only shares the low-level features, but also gets regularized according to the semantic constrains. Our method is verified on two challenging datasets (KTH and Olympic Sports), and the experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves better results than previous methods in human action recognition.

In this paper, we propose a discriminative low-rank dictionary learning algorithm for sparse representation. Sparse representation seeks the sparsest coefficients to represent the test signal as linear combination of the bases in an over-complete dictionary. Motivated by low-rank matrix recovery and completion, assume that the data from the same pattern are linearly correlated, if we stack these data points as column vectors of a dictionary, then the dictionary should be approximately low-rank. An objective function with sparse coefficients, class discrimination and rank minimization is proposed and optimized during dictionary learning. We have applied the algorithm for face recognition. Numerous experiments with improved performances over previous dictionary learning methods validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper aims to address the robust control problem of rigid spacecraft attitude maneuvers in the presence of inertia matrix uncertainty and external disturbance. A back-stepping based adaptive sliding mode control (B-ASMC) design is proposed as a solution, where the upper bounds of the parametric uncertainty and disturbance are not required in advance. Compared to current adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) design, the B-ASMC design has two advantages. Theoretically, the asymptotical stability of the attitude states rather than the sliding function is guaranteed. Practically, the over-adaptation problem in current ASMC design is alleviated and the system performance is improved. Detailed design principle and rigorous closed-loop system stability analysis are provided. A large angle attitude maneuver is employed in the numerical simulation to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
