Modeling and Simulation of Polarization in Internet Group Opinions Based on Cellular Automata by Yaofeng Zhang, Renbin Xiao

“…However, both taking the opinion leaders as zealots and taking some randomly selected individuals as zealots are not conductive to the consensus. (4) Double opinion leaders with consistent opinions will accelerate the formation of group consensus, but the opposite opinions will lead to group polarization. (5) Only small external influences can change the evolutionary direction of Internet group opinions.…”

PSR-SQUARES: SQL reverse synthesis system based on program space reducer by Quansheng DOU, Shun ZHANG, Hao PAN, Huixian WANG, Huanling TANG

“…In order to address the issue of rapid growth of program space in SQUARES, which led to low efficiency in program synthesis, a program space reducer based on deep neural network (DNN) was introduced into the SQUARES framework.A given ＆lt;Queried tables, Query result＆gt; pair was represented as a 2D tensor which was used as input for a DNN.And the output of the DNN was the relevance vector of the target SQL statement synthesis rules.Based on the output of the DNN, the last N rules with weak correlation to the target SQL statement were eliminated, thereby shrinking the program search space and improving the system synthesis efficiency.The architecture of DNN, the method of generating training datasets, and the training process of DNN were described in detail.Furthermore, experimental comparisons between PSR-SQUARES and other representative SQL reverse synthesis systems were conducted.The results show that the overall performance of PSR-SQUARES is superior to other synthesis systems to varying degrees, with the average synthesis time reduced from 251 s in SQUARES to 130 s and the target program synthesis success rate increased from 80% to 89%.…”

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE PLANE STRAIN DYNAMIC FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF 20CRMNTI BASED ON IMPROVED HPB PLATFORM by SONG Kun, ZHANG XiaoDi, DING Jun, HUANG Xia, HE XiaoJin, WANG JiaBin, WANG LuSheng

“…To obtain the dynamic fracture toughness of 20 Cr Mn Ti,an impact loading test was conducted on three-point bending specimens with the improved Hopkinson pressure bar.Dynamic stress intensity factor was determined by the spring mass model.The onset time of crack initiation is experimentally detected using the strain gauge method.Dynamic fracture toughness of20 Cr Mn Ti with type I crack was obtained through the above experimental procedure.The geometrical dispersion distortion caused by lateral inertia effect is effectively inhibited by the wave shaping technique,to ensure the consistency of stress wave signal in measuring point and loading point is guaranteed.At the same time,the high-speed camera system was used to collect the image and the change of the surface strain field during the loading process was analyzed with GOM Correlate.The results show that samples before crack initiation has reached the dynamic strain balance,ensure the validity of the experiment.…”

A triple joint extraction method combining hybrid embedding and relational label embedding by Jianfeng DAI, Xingyu CHEN, Ligang DONG, Xian JIANG

“…The purpose of triple extraction is to obtain relationships between entities from unstructured text and apply them to downstream tasks.The embedding mechanism has a great impact on the performance of the triple extraction model, and the embedding vector should contain rich semantic information that is closely related to the relationship extraction task.In Chinese datasets, the information contained between words is very different, and in order to avoid the loss of semantic information problems generated by word separation errors, a triple joint extraction method combining hybrid embedding and relational label embedding (HEPA) was designed, and a hybrid embedding means that combines letter embedding and word embedding was proposed to reduce the errors generated by word separation errors.A relational embedding mechanism that fuses text and relational labels was added, and an attention mechanism was used to distinguish the relevance of entities in a sentence with different relational labels, thus improving the matching accuracy.The method of matching entities with pointer annotation was used, which improved the extraction effect on relational overlapping triples.Comparative experiments are conducted on the publicly available DuIE dataset, and the F1 value of HEPA is improved by 2.8% compared to the best performing baseline model (CasRel).…”
