Drones are increasingly popular and getting used in a variety of missions such as area surveillance, pipeline inspection, cinematography, etc. While the drone is conducting a mission, anomalies such as sensor fault, actuator fault, configuration errors, bugs in controller program, remote cyber- attack, etc., may affect the drone’s physical stability and cause serious safety violations such as crashing into the public. During a flight mission, drones typically log flight status and state units such as GPS coordinates, actuator outputs, accelerator readings, gyroscopic readings, etc. These log data may reflect the above-mentioned anomalies. In this paper, we propose a novel, deep …

Mining Competitively-Priced Bundle Configurations, Ezekiel Ong Young, Hady W. Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We examine the bundle configuration problem in the presence of competition. Given a competitor's bundle configuration and pricing, we determine what to bundle together, and at what prices, to maximize the target firm's revenue. We highlight the difficulty in pricing bundles and propose a scalable alternative and an efficient search heuristic to refine the approximate prices. Furthermore, we extend the heuristics proposed by previous work to accommodate the presence of a competitor. We analyze the effectiveness of our proposed models through experimentation on real-life ratings-based preference data.


An Efficient Annealing-Assisted Differential Evolution For Multi-Parameter Adaptive Latent Factor Analysis, Qing LI, Guansong PANG, Mingsheng SHANG 2022 Chongqing University of Post and Telecommunications

An Efficient Annealing-Assisted Differential Evolution For Multi-Parameter Adaptive Latent Factor Analysis, Qing Li, Guansong Pang, Mingsheng Shang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A high-dimensional and incomplete (HDI) matrix is a typical representation of big data. However, advanced HDI data analysis models tend to have many extra parameters. Manual tuning of these parameters, generally adopting the empirical knowledge, unavoidably leads to additional overhead. Although variable adaptive mechanisms have been proposed, they cannot balance the exploration and exploitation with early convergence. Moreover, learning such multi-parameters brings high computational time, thereby suffering gross accuracy especially when solving a bilinear problem like conducting the commonly used latent factor analysis (LFA) on an HDI matrix. Herein, an efficient annealing-assisted differential evolution for multi-parameter adaptive latent factor analysis …

Data-Driven Deep Learning-Based Analysis On Thz Imaging, Haoyan Liu 2022 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Data-Driven Deep Learning-Based Analysis On Thz Imaging, Haoyan Liu

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Breast cancer affects about 12.5% of women population in the United States. Surgical operations are often needed post diagnosis. Breast conserving surgery can help remove malignant tumors while maximizing the remaining healthy tissues. Due to lacking effective real-time tumor analysis tools and a unified operation standard, re-excision rate could be higher than 30% among breast conserving surgery patients. This results in significant physical, physiological, and financial burdens to those patients. This work designs deep learning-based segmentation algorithms that detect tissue type in excised tissues using pulsed THz technology. This work evaluates the algorithms for tissue type classification task among freshly …

Contribution Rate Calculation Method To System-Of-Systems Based On Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number Anp, Zejian Ding, Songtao Sun, Zhiwen He, Fei Liu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Contribution rate to system-of-systems (CRSoS) is mainly used to measure the contribution of an equipment to system of systems (SoS) in system construction. In order to solve some problems in the calculation of CRSoS, a multi-level equipment indicator architecture of "task-ability-indicator- equipment" is proposed. At the same time, considering the characteristics of the equipment indicator architecture, ANP (analytic network process) and IVIFN (interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number), a IVIF-ANP calculation method is proposed to obtain more accurate CRSoS. Experiments show that this method can not only solve the problem of the calculation formula of CRSoS, but also obtain more …
