Extracting emotions from online reviews is crucial to many security-related applications as well as applications in other domains. Traditional approaches to emotion extraction have mainly focused on mining the polarities of opinions or using annotated data to extract emotion types. Emotion theories, which identify the underlying cognitive structure and emotional dimensions that are key to generate emotions, have almost been totally ignored in previous work. To facilitate the automatic extraction of emotions from textual data, in this paper, we propose an emotion model based approach to emotion extraction from online reviews. Informed by the widely used OCC emotion model, we employ a statistical method to extract emotion words with their dimension values from texts, and implement OCC model to obtain emotions based on the emotion-dimension dictionary. We conduct an empirical study using security-related news reviews. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

In sponsored search auctions, advertisers have to distribute the budget to a series of temporal slots in order to maximize the expected revenue. There exists a budget demand for each temporal slot, which can not be known exactly by the advertiser due to some uncertainties in the search marketing environments. The estimation of the value range of budget demand in a temporal slot seriously affects the advertising performance. In this paper we study the effect of the value range on the revenue and conduct some experiments to validate our model and identified properties with the real-world data collected from practical advertising campaigns. Experimental results show that, under a certain condition, (a) the higher estimation of the upper bound and the lower bound might increase the expected revenue, and (b) the expected revenue is positively proportional to the mean value of the value range and is negatively proportional to the size.

This paper proposes a novel sparse variant of auto-encoders as a building block to pre-train deep neural networks. Compared with sparse auto-encoders through KL-divergence, our method requires fewer hyper-parameters and the sparsity level of the hidden units can be learnt automatically. We have compared our method with several other unsupervised leaning algorithms on the benchmark databases. The satisfactory classification accuracy (97.92% on MNIST and 87.29% on NORB) can be achieved by a 2-hidden-layer neural network pre-trained using our algorithm, and the whole training procedure (including pre-training and fine-tuning) takes far less time than the state-of-art results.

Voting strategy is very useful in pattern recognition. Many methods, like Boosting and Bagging, are proposed and are successfully used in some applications using this strategy. However, these methods are infeasible or unsuitable for handwritten Chinese character recognition because of the problem's characteristics. In this paper, a self-generation voting method is proposed for further improving the recognition rate in handwritten Chinese character recognition. This method learns a set of parameters first for generating a set of samples from the test sample, and then classify these generated samples using a base-line classifier. At last, it gives the final recognition result by voting. Experimental results on two databases show that the proposed method is effective and useful in handwritten Chinese character recognition systems.

Facility layout problem (FLP) which deals with the placement of facilities in the plant area is one of the most critical problems in manufacturing systems design. This paper presents a novel facility layout approach based on differential evolution (DE) algorithm. Firstly, mathematical model with constraints for the FLP is established. Then, a new facility layout algorithm based on DE is proposed, which can improve the convergence rate by using the interference checking method. Finally, a simulation platform with three-dimensional visualization is developed. The comparison experiments of the proposed method and genetic algorithm (GA) based on robot work cell layout problem show that the proposed method converges faster and can obtain better optimal layout.

In traffic video surveillance systems, vehicles with various distances from the camera have different sizes, resolutions, and angles in traffic images. The common multi-scale method, which scales one vehicle template or the input image for detecting vehicles with different sizes, may fail to detect vehicles with various distances from the camera due to the change of the resolution and angle. To deal with this problem, we have proposed a multi-scale model including multiple templates with different scales and features. Our method includes two steps: constructing the multi-scale model and its probability model, and detecting vehicles from traffic images. In the first step, the multi-scale model is constructed by using three templates T 1 , T 2 , T 3 which represent vehicles with the short, medium, and long distance from the camera respectively. Each template contains one or some combination of sketch, texture, flatness, and color. In the second step, the three templates are applied for vehicle detection by using the template matching with local maximization operations. The main innovation of this paper is that the combination of multi-template and multi-scale method is applied to detect vehicles with various distances from the camera. To test our method, we have done several experiments on various traffic conditions. The experimental results show that our method effectively copes with vehicles with various distances from the camera and provides the detailed vehicle information after vehicle detection. Moreover, our method adapts to various weather conditions, slight pose variance, and slight occlusion.

Group behavior forecasting is an emergent re- search and application field in social computing. Most of the existing group behavior forecasting methods have heavily re- lied on structured data which is usually hard to obtain. To ease the heavy reliance on structured data, in this paper, we pro- pose a computational approach based on the recognition of multiple plans/intentions underlying group behavior. We fur- ther conduct human experiment to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
