Personalized Fuzzy Text Search Using Interest Prediction and Word Vectorization

In this paper we study the personalized text search problem. The keyword based search method in conventional algorithms has a low efficiency in understanding users' intention since the semantic meaning, user profile, user interests are not always considered. Firstly, we propose a novel text search algorithm using a inverse filtering mechanism that is very efficient for label based item search. Secondly, we adopt the Bayesian network to implement the user interest prediction for an improved personalized search. According to user input, it searches the related items using keyword information, predicted user interest. Thirdly, the word vectorization is used to discover potential targets according to the semantic meaning. Experimental results show that the proposed search engine has an improved efficiency and accuracy and it can operate on embedded devices with very limited computational resources

Lokalno diskriminantna projekcija difuzije i njena primjena za prepoznavanje emocionalnog stanja iz govornog signala

The existing Diffusion Maps method brings diffusion to data samples by Markov random walk. In this paper, to provide a general solution form of Diffusion Maps, first, we propose the generalized single-graph-diffusion embedding framework on the basis of graph embedding framework. Second, by designing the embedding graph of the framework, an algorithm, namely Locally Discriminant Diffusion Projection (LDDP), is proposed for speech emotion recognition. This algorithm is the projection form of the improved Diffusion Maps, which includes both discriminant information and local information. The linear or kernelized form of LDDP (i.e., LLDDP or KLDDP) is used to achieve the dimensionality reduction of original speech emotion features. We validate the proposed algorithm on two widely used speech emotion databases, EMO-DB and eNTERFACE\u2705. The experimental results show that the proposed LDDP methods, including LLDDP and KLDDP, outperform some other state-of-the-art dimensionality reduction methods which are based on graph embedding or discriminant analysis.Postojeće metode mapiranja difuzije u uzorke podataka primjenjuju Markovljevu slučajnu šetnju. U ovom radu, kako bismo pružili općenito rješenje za mapiranje difuzije, prvo predlažemo generalizirano okruženje za difuziju jednog grafa, zasnovano na okruženju za primjenu grafova. Drugo, konstruirajući ugrađeni graf, predlažemo algoritam lokalno diskriminantne projekcije difuzije (LDDP) za prepoznavanje emocionalnog stanja iz govornog signala. Ovaj algoritam je projekcija poboljšane difuzijske mape koja uključuje diskriminantnu i lokalnu informaciju. Linearna ili jezgrovita formulacija LDDP-a (i.e., LLDDP ili KLDDP) koristi se u svrhu redukcije dimenzionalnosti originalnog skupa značajki za prepoznavanje emocionalnog stanja iz govornog signala. Predloženi algoritam testiran je nad dvama široko korištenim bazama podataka za prepoznavanje emocionalnog stanja iz govornog signala, EMO-DB i eNTERFACE\u2705. Eksperimentalni rezultati pokazuju kako predložena LDDP metoda, uključujući LLDDP i KLDDP, pokazuje bolje ponašanje od nekih drugih najsuvremenijih metoda redukcije dimenzionalnosti, zasnovanim na ugrađenim grafovima ili analizi diskriminantnosti

A comparative study of conventional and high speed grinding characteristics of a thin film multilayer structure

High speed and conventional speed grinding characteristics of a thin film multilayer solar panel were investigated. The grinding force and surface roughness were measured and the interface integrity of the ground workpieces was examined. The results indicated that when applying a high wheel speed of up to 120 m/s, the ground surfaces predominantly exhibited ductile flow and the interface integrity was significantly improved. The maximum undeformed chip thickness was found to be an important parameter to measure grinding performance and interfacial failure. Delamination was observed at interfaces when the maximum undeformed chip thickness exceeded a threshold value and the finite element method (FEM) analysis revealed that the interfacial failure was mainly induced by shear stress

Active fault-tolerant anti-input saturation control of a cross-domain robot based on a human decision search algorithm and RBFNN

This article presents a cross-domain robot (CDR) that experiences drive efficiency degradation when operating on water surfaces, similar to drive faults. Moreover, the CDR mathematical model has uncertain parameters and non-negligible water resistance. To solve these problems, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN)-based active fault-tolerant control (AFTC) algorithm is proposed for the robot both on land and water surfaces. The proposed algorithm consists of a fast non-singular terminal sliding mode controller (NTSMC) and an RBFNN. The RBFNN is used to estimate the impact of drive faults, water resistance, and model parameter uncertainty on the robot and the output value compensates the controller. Additionally, an anti-input saturation control algorithm is designed to prevent driver saturation. To optimize the controller parameters, a human decision search algorithm (HDSA) is proposed, which mimics the decision-making process of a crowd. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods

An Empirical Study of Malicious Code In PyPI Ecosystem

PyPI provides a convenient and accessible package management platform to developers, enabling them to quickly implement specific functions and improve work efficiency. However, the rapid development of the PyPI ecosystem has led to a severe problem of malicious package propagation. Malicious developers disguise malicious packages as normal, posing a significant security risk to end-users. To this end, we conducted an empirical study to understand the characteristics and current state of the malicious code lifecycle in the PyPI ecosystem. We first built an automated data collection framework and collated a multi-source malicious code dataset containing 4,669 malicious package files. We preliminarily classified these malicious code into five categories based on malicious behaviour characteristics. Our research found that over 50% of malicious code exhibits multiple malicious behaviours, with information stealing and command execution being particularly prevalent. In addition, we observed several novel attack vectors and anti-detection techniques. Our analysis revealed that 74.81% of all malicious packages successfully entered end-user projects through source code installation, thereby increasing security risks. A real-world investigation showed that many reported malicious packages persist in PyPI mirror servers globally, with over 72% remaining for an extended period after being discovered. Finally, we sketched a portrait of the malicious code lifecycle in the PyPI ecosystem, effectively reflecting the characteristics of malicious code at different stages. We also present some suggested mitigations to improve the security of the Python open-source ecosystem.Comment: Accepted by the 38th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE2023

Trajectory Optimization for a Cruising Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Attacking a Target at Back Slope While Subjected to a Wind Gradient

The trajectory of a tubular launched cruising unmanned aerial vehicle is optimized using the modified direct collocation method for attacking a target at back slope under a wind gradient. A mathematical model of the cruising unmanned aerial vehicle is established based on its operational and motion features under a wind gradient to optimize the trajectory. The motion characteristics of  “altitude adjustment” and “suicide attack” are taken into full account under the combat circumstance of back slope time key targets. By introducing a discrete time function, the trajectory optimization is converted into a nonlinear programming problem and the SNPOT software is applied to solve for the optimal trajectory of the missile under different wind loads. The simulation results show that, for optimized trajectories, the average attack time decreased by up to 29.1% and the energy consumption is reduced by up to 25.9% under specified wind gradient conditions. A, ωdire, and Wmax have an influence on the flight trajectories of cruising unmanned aerial vehicle. This verifies that the application of modified direct collocation method is reasonable and feasible in an effort to achieve more efficient missile trajectories
