Node selection based on label quantity information in federated learning by Jiahua MA, Xinghua SUN, Wenchao XIA, Xijun WANG, Hongzhou TAN, Hongbo ZHU

“…Aiming at the problem that the difference of node data distribution has adverse effect on the performance of federated learning algorithm, a node selection algorithm based on label quantity information was proposed.An optimization objective based on the label quantity information of nodes was designed, considering the optimization problem of selecting the nodes with balanced label distribution under a certain time consumption limit.According to the correlation between the aggregated label distribution of selected nodes and the convergence of the global model, the upper bound of the weight divergence of the global model was reduced to improve the convergence stability of the algorithm.Simulation results shows that the new algorithm had higher convergence efficiency than the existing node selection algorithm.…”

L’archipel des Antilles, terres d’Amérique ? : la nouvelle "New Frontier" et ses implications by Lionel Davidas

“…For years and years, that phrase conveying the spirit of the "Monroe doctrine" has been periodically evoked to justify the United States’ expansionist and interventionist designs in this region. But is the West Indian archipelago a mere outpost of continental America or a distinct entity that circumscribes what Édouard Glissant has named "The hurricane basin"? …”

‘L’Amour aux Antipodes’: Tasma, Australia and the French Connection by Judith Johnston

“…I argue that the novella is designed specifically for a French readership, not only in terms of setting, but also because Tasma's usual critique of gender ideology is replaced with a determined anti-clericalism, possibly in response to current debates in Paris at the time and a wish to avoid the fraught gender politics of the Third Republic.…”

Deployment scheme of RSU based on connection time in VANET by Zhengchao DING, Zhenchun WEI, Lin FENG

“…For the roadside unit (RSU) placement problem in vehicular Ad Hoc network (VANET),the deployment scheme of RSU based on connection time was proposed.The scheme find the optimal positions of RSU for maximizing the number of vehicles while ensuring a certain level of connection time under the limited number of RSU.The problem was modeled as a maximum coverage problem,and a binary particle swarm algorithm was designed to solve it.The simulation experiment was carried out with the real Beijing road network map and taxi GPS data.The simulation results show that the algorithm is convergent,stable and feasible.Compared with the greedy algorithm,the proposed scheme can provide continuous network service for more vehicles.…”

La « modération » entre injonction et réappropriation : reconfiguration du mouvement islamiste tunisien en France (1981-2011) by Mathilde Zederman

“…Far from substantial definitions of Islamist moderation, and by locating this category within a specific socio-political and national configuration – that of the Islamist Tunisian exile of Ennahdha in France (1981-2011) – this article aims to show that the designation and identification of actors as moderate are contextual, evolving and can be re-appropriated or contested. …”

Programming extention technology of open vSwitch by Fan YANG, Siyu YAN, Tao HUANG

“…As an open source SDN software switch,open vSwitch (OVS) has been widespread concerned.But in complex and changeable network environment,data layer loses control of controller and flow table entry learning aging appears easily and the performance of SDN is seriously hampered.To solve the problems,the programming extension technology architecture of OVS was designed,including link state processing,fault perception,two three-tier self-learning forwarding and other expansion of core functions,so that OVS could recover automatic and rapidly,flow table entries could update in time,throughput of SDN was guaranteed,thereby the influence of control-ler loss control for communication was reduced,SDN stability and reliability was enhanced.…”

Attention-based approach of detecting spam in social networks by Qiang QU, Hongtao YU, Ruiyang HUANG

“…In social networks,a large amount of spam has seriously threaten users' information security and the credit system of social websites.Aiming at the noise and sparsity problems,an attention-based CNN method was proposed to detect spam.On the basis of classical CNN,this method added a filter layer in which an attention mechanism based on Naive Bayesian weighting technology was designed to solve the noise issue.What’s more,instead of the original pooling strategy,it adapted an attention-based pooling policy to alleviate the sparsity problem.Compared with other methods,the results show that the accuracy has increased by 1.32%，2.15%，0.07%，1.63% on four different data sets.…”
