Using the locally conformal technique and the high-order symplectic integrators, the high- order conformal symplectic FDTD scheme is accurate and efficient for modeling the scattering from three-dimensional curved perfectly conducting objects. In addition, the decreased time step caused by the conformal model can be offset by using coarse grids.

While direct association rules are dedicated to describe the direct correlations among the items in a frequent itemset, indirect association rules are dedicated to describe the indirect correlations between the two items in a infrequent itemset. All the existing research works about indirect association rules are focused on improving the efficiency of mining algorithm for indirect association rules. Like incremental updating algorithm is important for mining association rules, incremental updating algorithm is also important for mining indirect association rules. In this paper, we put forward an incremental updating algorithm for mining indirect association rules to deal with the maintenance of discovered indirect association rules resulted from the change of the minimum support. The main idea is to re-utilize the results acquired in process with the old minimum support.

Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in transfer learning. Despite the vast amount of research performed in this field, there are remaining challenges in applying the knowledge learnt from multiple source domains to a target domain. First, data from multiple source domains can be semantically related, but have different distributions. It is not clear how to exploit the distribution differences among multiple source domains to boost the learning performance in a target domain. Second, many real-world applications demand this transfer learning to be performed in a distributed manner. To meet these challenges, we propose a consensus regularization framework for transfer learning from multiple source domains to a target domain. In this framework, a local classifier is trained by considering both local data available in a source domain and the prediction consensus with the classifiers from other source domains. In addition, the training algorithm can be implemented in a distributed manner, in which all the source-domains are treated as slave nodes and the target domain is used as the master node. To combine the training results from multiple source domains, it only needs share some statistical data rather than the full contents of their labeled data. This can modestly relieve the privacy concerns and avoid the need to upload all data to a central location. Finally, our experimental results show the effectiveness of our consensus regularization learning. Copyright 2008 ACM.

This paper presents a candidate-evaluation model (CEM) which interactively elicits user preferences and assists decision makers in decision making in applications such as travel itinerary planning. The CEM contrasts with traditional decision analytic and planning frameworks in which a complete user model is elicited beforehand or is constructed by a human expert. We used the CEM model to implement an Itinerary Selection Assistant (ISA) system, which helps tourists identify satisfactory travel itineraries. The ISA starts with fuzzy user preferences and gradually approximate the optimal solution through carefully choosing candidate solutions to present to the user and inferring user's actual preferences by analyzing user evaluations over the candidates.

Present elevator control use button sensors to determine when and where to dispatch an elevator car, which don't use the number of passengers. In this paper, we analyze images from camera to detect how many persons waiting for the elevator or in an elevator. A novel framework is proposed for optimized elevator schedule. Extended Haar-like features and Adaboost are used to train a head-shoulder classifier. Some images are selected from video according to elevator button callings to detect head-shoulder. To reduce false alarms a post process is added after detecting. Experimental results show the proposed method with post process has higher performance than existed methods. The information of passenger number can be send to elevator control system for effective schedule, which can reduce passengers waiting time and elevator's unnecessary stop, finally save energy and reduce maintain fee.

The traditional DCT-based real-valued discrete Gabor transform (RGDT) was limited to the critical sampling case. The biorthogonality relationship between the analysis window and the synthesis window for the transform has not been unveiled. To overcome those drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel DCT-based real-valued discrete Gabor transform, which can be applied under both the critical sampling condition and the over-sampling condition. And the biorthogonality relationship between the analysis window and the synthesis window for the transform is also proved in this paper. Because it only involves real operations and can utilize fast DCT and DDCT algorithms for fast computation, it facilitates computation and implementation by hardware and/or software compared to the traditional complex-valued discrete Gabor transform.

This paper presents a novel rule selection model for statistical machine translation (SMT) that uses the maximum entropy approach to predict target-side for an ambiguous source-side. The maximum entropy based rule selection (MERS) model combines rich contextual information as features, thus can help SMT systems perform context-dependent rule selection. We incorporate the MERS model into two kinds of the state-of-the-art syntax-based SMT models: the hierarchical phrase-based model and the tree-to-string alignment template model. Experiments show that our approach achieves significant improvements over both the baseline systems.

Focused crawlers selectively retrieve Web documents that are relevant to a predefined set of topics. To intelligently make predictions and decisions about relevant URLs and web pages, different topic models have been introduced to represent topic-specific knowledge. Yet it is difficult to support semantic interoperability among different models. Moreover, some manually specified additional semantic information, such as semantic markups and social annotations, could not be effectively used to improve crawling. This paper proposes to boost focused crawling with four kinds of semantic models and semantic information, including thesauruses, categories, ontologies, and folksonomies. A statistical semantic association model is proposed to integrate different semantic models, represent heterogeneous semantic information, and support semantic relevance computation. A focused crawling framework is developed which adopts both keyword based contents and different kinds of additional information for relevance prediction and ranking. Experiments show that the proposed model and framework effectively integrates heterogeneous semantic information for focused crawling.
