Sponsored search advertising (SSA), the primary revenue source of Web search engine companies, has become the dominant form of online advertising. Search engine companies, such as Google and Baidu, are naturally interested in SSA mechanism design with the aim to improve the overall effectiveness and profitability of SSA ecosystems. Due to model intractability, however, traditional game theory and mechanism design frameworks provide only limited help as to the design and evaluation of practical SSA mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a niche-based co-evolutionary simulation approach, aiming at computationally evaluating SSA auction mechanisms based on advertisers' equilibrium bidding behavior generated through co-evolution of their bidding strategies. Using this approach, we evaluate and compare key performance measures of several practical SSA auction mechanisms, including the generalized first and second price auction, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism, and a novel hybrid mechanism adopted by ***, a major search engine in China.

Motivated by the multi-channel nature of the Gabor feature representation and the success of the multiple classifier fusion, and meanwhile, to avoid careful selection of parameters for the manifold learning, we propose a face recognition framework under the multi-channel fusion strategy. The Gabor wavelet endows the algorithm in a similar way as the human visual system, to represent face features. To solve the curse of dimensionality due to multi-channel Gabor feature, as well as to preserve nonlinear labeled intrinsic structure of the sample points, the manifold learning is applied to model the nonlinear labeled intrinsic structure. Each of the filtered multi-channel Gabor features, is treated as an independent channel. Classification is performed in each channel by the component classifier and the final result is obtained using the decision fusion strategy. The experiments on three face datasets show effective and encouraging recognition accuracy compared with other existing methods. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The relative pose between inertial and visual sensors equipped in autonomous robots is calibrated in two steps. In the first step, the sensing system is moved along a line, the orientations in the relative pose are computed from at least five corresponding points in the two images captured before and after the movement. In the second step, the translation parameters in the relative pose are obtained with at least two corresponding points in the two images captured before and after one step motion. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, feature extraction based on data-wave is proposed. The concept of data-wave is introduced to describe the rising and falling trends of the data over the long-term which are detected based on ripple and wave filters. Supported by data-wave, a novel symbol identifier with significant structure features is designed and these features are extracted by constructing pixel chains. On this basis, the corresponding recognition and positioning approach is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by experiments.

Because of the technical and cost constraints on traditional measurement methods, there is a lack of long-term driving behavior data from natural traffic scenes, and this situation has been hindering research progress into driving behavior modeling and other related topics. Thanks to high-definition cameras and advanced visual measurement methods, traffic visual detection is entering a new stage of traffic visual measurement, and thus we can expect to achieve accurate segmentation, positioning, and measurement for road vehicles from live video to meet the requirement for field test data in behavior modeling. To measure driving behaviors in a cost-effective manner, the authors propose a comprehensive visual measurement approach that could perform well in complex traffic scenes. Specifically, they describe a procedure for traffic visual measurement, some preliminary algorithms, and some representative experimental results. Comparisons between the proposed method and three traditional ones (driving simulator, in-vehicle data recorder, and remote-sensing camera) indicate that the biggest advantage of the proposed method is it can measure driving behaviors from live video. Hence, the ongoing research will greatly benefit cognition in driving behavior models.
