Empirical Research on the Impact of Personalized Recommendation Diversity
Personalized recommendation has important implications in raising online shopping efficiency and increasing product sales. There has been wide interest in finding ways to provide more efficient personalized recommendations. Most existing studies focus on how to improve the accuracy of the recommendation algorithms, or are more concerned on ways to increase consumer satisfaction. Unlike these studies, our study focuses on the process of decision-making, using long tail theory as a basis, to reveal the mechanisms involved in consumers’ adoption of recommendations. This paper analyzes the effect of personalized recommendations from two angles: product sales and ratings, and tries to point out differences in consumer preferences between mainstream products and niche products, high rating products and low rating products, search products and experience products. The study verifies that consumers demand diversity in the recommended content, and also provides suggestions on how to better plan and operate a personalized recommendation system
LEAP: A Lightweight Encryption and Authentication Protocol for In-Vehicle Communications
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is considered as the de-facto standard for
the in-vehicle communications due to its real-time performance and high
reliability. Unfortunately, the lack of security protection on the CAN bus
gives attackers the opportunity to remotely compromise a vehicle. In this
paper, we propose a Lightweight Encryption and Authentication Protocol (LEAP)
with low cost and high efficiency to address the security issue of the CAN bus.
LEAP exploits the security-enhanced stream cipher primitive to provide
encryption and authentication for the CAN messages. Compared with the
state-of-the-art Message Authentication Code (MAC) based approaches, LEAP
requires less memory, is 8X faster, and thwarts the most recently proposed
attacks.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures, 3 table
Cross-Spatial Pixel Integration and Cross-Stage Feature Fusion Based Transformer Network for Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution
Remote sensing image super-resolution (RSISR) plays a vital role in enhancing
spatial detials and improving the quality of satellite imagery. Recently,
Transformer-based models have shown competitive performance in RSISR. To
mitigate the quadratic computational complexity resulting from global
self-attention, various methods constrain attention to a local window,
enhancing its efficiency. Consequently, the receptive fields in a single
attention layer are inadequate, leading to insufficient context modeling.
Furthermore, while most transform-based approaches reuse shallow features
through skip connections, relying solely on these connections treats shallow
and deep features equally, impeding the model's ability to characterize them.
To address these issues, we propose a novel transformer architecture called
Cross-Spatial Pixel Integration and Cross-Stage Feature Fusion Based
Transformer Network (SPIFFNet) for RSISR. Our proposed model effectively
enhances global cognition and understanding of the entire image, facilitating
efficient integration of features cross-stages. The model incorporates
cross-spatial pixel integration attention (CSPIA) to introduce contextual
information into a local window, while cross-stage feature fusion attention
(CSFFA) adaptively fuses features from the previous stage to improve feature
expression in line with the requirements of the current stage. We conducted
comprehensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets, demonstrating the
superior performance of our proposed SPIFFNet in terms of both quantitative
metrics and visual quality when compared to state-of-the-art methods
Semantic Segmentation for Point Cloud Scenes via Dilated Graph Feature Aggregation and Pyramid Decoders
Semantic segmentation of point clouds generates comprehensive understanding
of scenes through densely predicting the category for each point. Due to the
unicity of receptive field, semantic segmentation of point clouds remains
challenging for the expression of multi-receptive field features, which brings
about the misclassification of instances with similar spatial structures. In
this paper, we propose a graph convolutional network DGFA-Net rooted in dilated
graph feature aggregation (DGFA), guided by multi-basis aggregation loss
(MALoss) calculated through Pyramid Decoders. To configure multi-receptive
field features, DGFA which takes the proposed dilated graph convolution
(DGConv) as its basic building block, is designed to aggregate multi-scale
feature representation by capturing dilated graphs with various receptive
regions. By simultaneously considering penalizing the receptive field
information with point sets of different resolutions as calculation bases, we
introduce Pyramid Decoders driven by MALoss for the diversity of receptive
field bases. Combining these two aspects, DGFA-Net significantly improves the
segmentation performance of instances with similar spatial structures.
Experiments on S3DIS, ShapeNetPart and Toronto-3D show that DGFA-Net
outperforms the baseline approach, achieving a new state-of-the-art
segmentation performance.Comment: accepted to AAAI Workshop 202
Multi-granularity Backprojection Transformer for Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution
Backprojection networks have achieved promising super-resolution performance
for nature images but not well be explored in the remote sensing image
super-resolution (RSISR) field due to the high computation costs. In this
paper, we propose a Multi-granularity Backprojection Transformer termed MBT for
RSISR. MBT incorporates the backprojection learning strategy into a Transformer
framework. It consists of Scale-aware Backprojection-based Transformer Layers
(SPTLs) for scale-aware low-resolution feature learning and Context-aware
Backprojection-based Transformer Blocks (CPTBs) for hierarchical feature
learning. A backprojection-based reconstruction module (PRM) is also introduced
to enhance the hierarchical features for image reconstruction. MBT stands out
by efficiently learning low-resolution features without excessive modules for
high-resolution processing, resulting in lower computational resources.
Experiment results on UCMerced and AID datasets demonstrate that MBT obtains
state-of-the-art results compared to other leading methods
