Ontology-based specific and exhaustive user profiles for constraint information fusion for multi-agents
Intelligent agents are an advanced technology utilized in Web Intelligence. When searching information from a distributed Web environment, information is retrieved by multi-agents on the client site and fused on the broker site. The current information fusion techniques rely on cooperation of agents to provide statistics. Such techniques are computationally expensive and unrealistic in the real world. In this paper, we introduce a model that uses a world ontology constructed from the Dewey Decimal Classification to acquire user profiles. By search using specific and exhaustive user profiles, information fusion techniques no longer rely on the statistics provided by agents. The model has been successfully evaluated using the large INEX data set simulating the distributed Web environment
On the genericity properties in networked estimation: Topology design and sensor placement
In this paper, we consider networked estimation of linear, discrete-time
dynamical systems monitored by a network of agents. In order to minimize the
power requirement at the (possibly, battery-operated) agents, we require that
the agents can exchange information with their neighbors only \emph{once per
dynamical system time-step}; in contrast to consensus-based estimation where
the agents exchange information until they reach a consensus. It can be
verified that with this restriction on information exchange, measurement fusion
alone results in an unbounded estimation error at every such agent that does
not have an observable set of measurements in its neighborhood. To over come
this challenge, state-estimate fusion has been proposed to recover the system
observability. However, we show that adding state-estimate fusion may not
recover observability when the system matrix is structured-rank (-rank)
deficient.
In this context, we characterize the state-estimate fusion and measurement
fusion under both full -rank and -rank deficient system matrices.Comment: submitted for IEEE journal publicatio
Bibliographic Review on Distributed Kalman Filtering
In recent years, a compelling need has arisen to understand the effects of distributed information structures on estimation and filtering. In this paper, a bibliographical review on distributed Kalman filtering (DKF) is provided.\ud
The paper contains a classification of different approaches and methods involved to DKF. The applications of DKF are also discussed and explained separately. A comparison of different approaches is briefly carried out. Focuses on the contemporary research are also addressed with emphasis on the practical applications of the techniques. An exhaustive list of publications, linked directly or indirectly to DKF in the open literature, is compiled to provide an overall picture of different developing aspects of this area
Personalized Dialogue Generation with Diversified Traits
Endowing a dialogue system with particular personality traits is essential to
deliver more human-like conversations. However, due to the challenge of
embodying personality via language expression and the lack of large-scale
persona-labeled dialogue data, this research problem is still far from
well-studied. In this paper, we investigate the problem of incorporating
explicit personality traits in dialogue generation to deliver personalized
dialogues.
To this end, firstly, we construct PersonalDialog, a large-scale multi-turn
dialogue dataset containing various traits from a large number of speakers. The
dataset consists of 20.83M sessions and 56.25M utterances from 8.47M speakers.
Each utterance is associated with a speaker who is marked with traits like Age,
Gender, Location, Interest Tags, etc. Several anonymization schemes are
designed to protect the privacy of each speaker. This large-scale dataset will
facilitate not only the study of personalized dialogue generation, but also
other researches on sociolinguistics or social science.
Secondly, to study how personality traits can be captured and addressed in
dialogue generation, we propose persona-aware dialogue generation models within
the sequence to sequence learning framework. Explicit personality traits
(structured by key-value pairs) are embedded using a trait fusion module.
During the decoding process, two techniques, namely persona-aware attention and
persona-aware bias, are devised to capture and address trait-related
information. Experiments demonstrate that our model is able to address proper
traits in different contexts. Case studies also show interesting results for
this challenging research problem.Comment: Please contact [zhengyinhe1 at 163 dot com] for the PersonalDialog

Semi-supervised Multi-sensor Classification via Consensus-based Multi-View Maximum Entropy Discrimination
In this paper, we consider multi-sensor classification when there is a large
number of unlabeled samples. The problem is formulated under the multi-view
learning framework and a Consensus-based Multi-View Maximum Entropy
Discrimination (CMV-MED) algorithm is proposed. By iteratively maximizing the
stochastic agreement between multiple classifiers on the unlabeled dataset, the
algorithm simultaneously learns multiple high accuracy classifiers. We
demonstrate that our proposed method can yield improved performance over
previous multi-view learning approaches by comparing performance on three real
multi-sensor data sets.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Accepted in 40th IEEE International Conference on
