Hete-CF: Social-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation using Heterogeneous Relations
Collaborative filtering algorithms haven been widely used in recommender
systems. However, they often suffer from the data sparsity and cold start
problems. With the increasing popularity of social media, these problems may be
solved by using social-based recommendation. Social-based recommendation, as an
emerging research area, uses social information to help mitigate the data
sparsity and cold start problems, and it has been demonstrated that the
social-based recommendation algorithms can efficiently improve the
recommendation performance. However, few of the existing algorithms have
considered using multiple types of relations within one social network. In this
paper, we investigate the social-based recommendation algorithms on
heterogeneous social networks and proposed Hete-CF, a Social Collaborative
Filtering algorithm using heterogeneous relations. Distinct from the exiting
methods, Hete-CF can effectively utilize multiple types of relations in a
heterogeneous social network. In addition, Hete-CF is a general approach and
can be used in arbitrary social networks, including event based social
networks, location based social networks, and any other types of heterogeneous
information networks associated with social information. The experimental
results on two real-world data sets, DBLP (a typical heterogeneous information
network) and Meetup (a typical event based social network) show the
effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm
An Empirical Evaluation On Vibrotactile Feedback For Wristband System
With the rapid development of mobile computing, wearable wrist-worn is
becoming more and more popular. But the current vibrotactile feedback patterns
of most wrist-worn devices are too simple to enable effective interaction in
nonvisual scenarios. In this paper, we propose the wristband system with four
vibrating motors placed in different positions in the wristband, providing
multiple vibration patterns to transmit multi-semantic information for users in
eyes-free scenarios. However, we just applied five vibrotactile patterns in
experiments (positional up and down, horizontal diagonal, clockwise circular,
and total vibration) after contrastive analyzing nine patterns in a pilot
experiment. The two experiments with the same 12 participants perform the same
experimental process in lab and outdoors. According to the experimental
results, users can effectively distinguish the five patterns both in lab and
outside, with approximately 90% accuracy (except clockwise circular vibration
of outside experiment), proving these five vibration patterns can be used to
output multi-semantic information. The system can be applied to eyes-free
interaction scenarios for wrist-worn devices.Comment: 10 pages

Parton Energy Loss at Twist-Six in Deeply Inelastic e-A Scattering
Within the framework of the generalized factorization in pQCD, we investigate
the multiple parton scattering and induced parton energy loss at twist-6 in
deeply inelastic e-A scattering with the helicity amplitude approximation. It
is shown that twist-6 processes will give rise to additional nuclear size
dependence of the parton energy loss due to LPM interference effect while its
contribution is power suppressed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
