Social networks nowadays have become an important form of communication in which users can post their current status or share their lives by mobile phones or the Web. In this paper, we develop an effective and efficient model to estimate continuous tie strength between users for friend recommendation with the heterogeneous data from social media community. We categorize those multimodal data into two classes: interaction data (e.g., comments, marking favorite photos) and similarity data(e.g., common friends, groups, tags, geo, visual). We propose to use asymmetric relationship in the interaction data for tie strength estimation instead of using the conventional symmetric ones. Furthermore, by exploring the behavior of users in a social media community, we find that the tie strength between users can be approximately modeled as a linear function of their social connections. Based on this observation, we propose an effective and highly efficient user specific linear model for the tie strength estimation. The experiments on a popular social network show promising results and demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

The geometry distortion phenomenon of SAR imaging arises in the mountainous scenarios due to the presence of strong terrain slopes. Because of phase discontinuities or the absence of valid phase, for single pass interferometric SAR (InSAR), it is difficult to recover accurate digital elevation model (DEM) in such areas. Fusion of two or more different aspects of InSAR data is practicable to deal with this problem. In this paper, the processing procedures of airborne InSAR data are presented. In order to decrease the processing error of every single aspect data, an iterative motion compensation (MOCO) method is used. Besides, the interferometric phase of shadow area is linearly complemented before phase unwrapping to avoid error spreading. Experimental results using two anti-parallel aspects of airborne InSAR data validate the feasibility of fusion.

Factorization Machines [1, 2] is a new factorization model that can combine the merits of SVM model with matrix factorization models. It can model all the interactive actions using factorized parameters. So it could mimic most other matrix factorization models by feature engineering. Due to the superior flexible, Factorization Machines has already been widely used in many recommended algorithm competitions and practical online recommended system. But, because of the prevalence of large dataset, there is a need to improve the scalability of computation in factorization machines model. In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm can be used on Factorization Machines model. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good speed-up and scalability on big dataset.

Walking on irregular terrain is usually a common task for a quadruped robot. It is however difficult to control the robot in this situation as undesirable impulse force by collision between the foot of robot and obstacles makes the robot unstable. This paper presents a hybrid Force-Posture Feedback Compensation (FPFC) controller for a quadruped robot with high payload walking on irregular terrain. In order to make the robot walk stably on irregular terrain, the proposed controller utilizes the feedback signals detected by force sensor and gyroscope to adjust every leg of the robot in real-time. The foot trajectory is scheduled based on the Bezier curve method in order to improve the stability of quadruped robot. Simulations of crawling gait on irregular terrain have been performed. The results have verified that the proposed methods have better stability and performance for walking on the irregular terrain.

Aircraft parameter estimation is a vital technology in aeronautical industry. It is the fundamental of control law design and aircraft performance evaluation. Harmony Search (HS) is proposed in 2001, which mimics music players composing fantastic music. Its performance has been verified by many benchmark problems. In 1986, Reynolds proposed a mathematical model describing animals' group behavior, and he generally named the flocking creature “boids”, which can be interpreted as “bird like objects”. We modify the pitch adjustment step of HS inspired by the boid model. Our new method is named Boid-Inspired Harmony Search (BIHS). This paper investigates the application of BIHS to aircraft parameter estimation problem. In this work, the longitudinal state-space model of F-18 jet is used. It is shown that the BIHS approach is efficient, and in some ways, has an advantage over the classical Maximum Likelihood (ML) method.

In this paper, a direct adaptive neural network control (DANNC) method is developed to deal with the multi-variable (dissolved oxygen concentration and nitrate concentration) tracking control problem in wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs), which avoids the perplex issue of establishing the plant model of WWTP and has the excellent adaptive ability. The DANNC system is composed of neural controller and compensation controller. The neural controller is employed to approximate an ideal control law, and the compensation controller is designed to offset the network approximation error. The controller parameters' adaptive laws are deduced by the Lyapunov theorem. Simulation results, based on the international benchmark simulation model No.1 (BSM1), show that the control accuracy and dynamic performance of the DANNC method are improved nicely.

This paper proposes a novel input-output clustering approach for structure identification of T-S fuzzy neural networks. This approach consists of two phases. Firstly, k-means clustering method is applied to the input data to provide the initial clusters of the input space. Secondly, check whether the sub-clustering is needed for each input cluster by considering the corresponding output variation and then apply the k-means method to further partition those input clusters needed sub-clustering. Applying the above process recursively leads to the structure identification of a T-S fuzzy neural network and then the parameter identification is completed by using the gradient learning algorithm. The experiments by applying the proposed method to several benchmark problems show better performance compared with many existing methods and then verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a semi-physical simulation platform of robot teleoperation system is designed, and a combined control approach using Jacobian matrix and Proportional-Derivative(PD) algorithm is proposed. A digital low-pass filter is designed to eliminate noise signal caused by hand-vibration of surgeons. The advantages of the proposed approach include easy implementation, real-time response and accurate master-slave tracking. The results of semi-physical simulation validated that the proposed approach realized accurate master-slave tracking for puncture surgery and the noise caused by hand-vibration was eliminated effectively.

This paper is concerned with the steel temperature estimation problem in hot strip mill. We focus on the steel bar temperature estimation during the rough rolling process with the aid of industrial wireless network for its high reliability communication and low power consumptions. However, the mobility of the steel bar and the complexity of the industrial environments have posed new challenges for the temperature monitoring. According to the steel bar's mobility, we propose a distributed sequential estimation algorithm to realize the continuous temperature tracking and gradually remove the estimation error. It consists of a cluster-based estimation algorithm and an initialized fusion algorithm, whose design are based on two criteria, namely, unbiasedness and optimality. Finally, simulation studies are presented to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
