Trajectory Planning Method Of Overhead Crane, Xuejuan Shao, Li Yao, Jinggang Zhang, Xueliang Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To make the trolley of bridge crane move stably with smooth acceleration, a polynomial acceleration trajectory is proposed based on the constraint conditions of the crane and the friction between the trolley and the rail. An anti-swing plan is designed employing the dynamic coupling relationship between the motion of the trolley and the load swing. Results indicate that when the length of the rope is changed, the swing angle of the trolley is still within the limits. The stability of the system is proved by constructing Lyapunov energy equations, and the Barbalat lemma confirms that the planned reference trajectory …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Named entity recognition in Thai language is aimed to identify the names of a person, a locality,an organization or an institution,and so on. Due to the complexity of Thai word formation method and grammar rules, to solve this problem, the idea of the approach proposed is to treat the task of named entity recognition in Thai language as labeling the sign of a series of words in Thai sentence. Given the characteristics of Thai language itself, certain features in the context of the samples in the Thai entity recognition corpus are extracted to train the hidden Markov model and …

High-Dimensional Clustering Method Based On Variant Bat Algorithm, Kou Guang, Guangming Tang, Jiajing He, Hengwei Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: With the advent of the era of big data, the information resource is growing rapidly, and the data are becoming high-dimensional. Traditional clustering methods have a good effect for low-dimensional data, but no longer apply to high-dimensional data. On the basis of existing high-dimensional clustering algorithm, a high-dimensional clustering algorithm based on intelligent optimization SSC-BA is proposed. A novel objective function is designed, which integrates the fuzzy weighting within-cluster compactness and the between-cluster separation. A variant bat algorithm is introduced to calculate the weight matrix, giving the new learning rules. Simulation experiments are made for the proposed algorithm, and …

Stressmon: Scalable Detection Of Perceived Stress And Depression Using Passive Sensing Of Changes In Work Routines And Group Interactions, Nur Camellia Binte Zakaria, Rajesh Balan, Youngki Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Stress and depression are a common affliction in all walks of life. When left unmanaged, stress can inhibit productivity or cause depression. Depression can occur independently of stress. There has been a sharp rise in mobile health initiatives to monitor stress and depression. However, these initiatives usually require users to install dedicated apps or multiple sensors, making such solutions hard to scale. Moreover, they emphasise sensing individual factors and overlook social interactions, which plays a significant role in influencing stress and depression while being a part of a social system. We present StressMon, a stress and depression detection system that …


Aspect And Opinion Aware Abstractive Review Summarization With Reinforced Hard Typed Decoder, Yufei TIAN, Jianfei YU, Jing JIANG 2019 Tsinghua University

Aspect And Opinion Aware Abstractive Review Summarization With Reinforced Hard Typed Decoder, Yufei Tian, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we study abstractive review summarization. Observing that review summaries often consist of aspect words, opinion words and context words, we propose a two-stage reinforcement learning approach, which first predicts the output word type from the three types, and then leverages the predicted word type to generate the final word distribution. Experimental results on two Amazon product review datasets demonstrate that our method can consistently outperform several strong baseline approaches based on ROUGE scores.

Combining Micro And Macro Features For Online Pattern-Of-Life Movement Prediction, Shiau Hong Lim, Hasan Poonawala, Laura Wynter

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We investigate the problem of predicting the future location of mobile objects, such as vehicles, ships, or people, in real time with a high degree of accuracy. Our premise is that an effective combination of recent and long-term historical data can significantly improve prediction performance by enabling a representation of the patterns-of-life of the objects. However, finding a feature representation that captures the long-term observed history of the objects in a compact yet informative manner is a key challenge in data mining and machine learning. To this end, we propose to combine “micro” features, which capture recent fine-grained trends, with …

Estimating Glycemic Impact Of Cooking Recipes Via Online Crowdsourcing And Machine Learning, Helena Lee, Palakorn Achananuparp, Yue Liu, Ee-Peng Lim, Lav R. Varshney

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Consumption of diets with low glycemic impact is highly recommended for diabetics and pre-diabetics as it helps maintain their blood glucose levels. However, laboratory analysis of dietary glycemic potency is time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, we explore a data-driven approach utilizing online crowdsourcing and machine learning to estimate the glycemic impact of cooking recipes. We show that a commonly used healthiness metric may not always be effective in determining recipes suitable for diabetics, thus emphasizing the importance of the glycemic-impact estimation task. Our best classification model, trained on nutritional and crowdsourced data obtained from Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), can …


Automated Morgan Keenan Classification Of Observed Stellar Spectra Collected By The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Using A Single Classifier, Michael J. Brice, Răzvan Andonie 2019 Central Washington University

Automated Morgan Keenan Classification Of Observed Stellar Spectra Collected By The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Using A Single Classifier, Michael J. Brice, Răzvan Andonie

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The classification of stellar spectra is a fundamental task in stellar astrophysics. Stellar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are applied to standard classification methods, k-nearest neighbors and random forest, to automatically classify the spectra. Stellar spectra are high dimensional data and the dimensionality is reduced using astronomical knowledge because classifiers work in low dimensional space. These methods are utilized to classify the stellar spectra into a complete Morgan Keenan classification (spectral and luminosity) using a single classifier. The motion of stars (radial velocity) causes machine-learning complications through the feature matrix when classifying stellar spectra. Due to the nature …
