Identifying method for opinion leaders in social network based on competency model by Bo CHEN, Xiang-yan TANG, Ling YU, Ya-shang LIU

“…A competency model of opinion leaders in social networks is presented，which includes three capacity factors，some explicit and implicit behavioral indicators.These characteristics of information production，information dissemination and information influence which opinion leaders should have.Based on the proposed competency model，social network users into four categories which divided:the general public，the activists，the topic opinion leaders and network opinion leaders.Then a hierarchical filtering process is designed and a system framework of filtering experimental for identifying opinion leaders is introduced.It takes the data extracted from the Sina microblog as input，then integrates some social network analysis tools such as MALLET，and develops the programs for specific functions with Python.Eventually，the opinion leaders of microblog can be identified.The experiment results prove the effectiveness of present competency model for opinion leaders and the feasibility of hierarchical filtering process.…”

Research on Optimization of 3D Tourism Virtual Crossover Scene based on Semantic Perception Analysis by Guixia Wang

“…Taking the traditional Chinese culture of the site selection of royal tombs and the feudal hierarchy represented as the semantic criteria, eighteen feature points were extracted from two representative tomb cultural landscapes from different landscape perspectives, and the corresponding weight coefficients were assigned to each feature point from different landscape perspectives; based on the results of perceptual degree calculation, the semantic mining of the existing sightseeing routes is carried out and the optimization scheme is designed. From the perspective of tourists’ perception of landscape, tourism resources are deeply mined to better reflect the value of landscape and realize the coupling and interaction between virtual tourism and tourism economy.…”

Differentiated protection strategy with dynamic traffic grooming based on clustering by Yu XIONG, Yuan-yuan LI, Jian-bo TANG, Ying ZHAO, Ru-yan WANG

“…To make dynamic traffic grooming faster and more efficient,and achieve an intelligent differentiated protection,a differentiated protection strategy with dynamic traffic grooming based on clustering(DPS-DTGC)was proposed.The whole network topology was allocated some clusters based on maximal independent set,in order to reduce the routing time consumption.Meanwhile,by the cooperation of layered auxiliary graph,residual capacity matrix and cluster aggregation layer,the traffic in inter- and intra- clusters would been groomed to realize the reasonable planning of resources and the higher efficiency of grooming.Furthermore,according to the proportion of different priority traffic in one wavelength ,the link importance was evaluated and a smart P-cycle was designed to give differentiated protection to the link.The simulation results show this strategy can make a better utilization of network resource.And with the increase of network load,it will gain a good performance in blocking rate.…”

Research on Linux network packet buffer recycling toward multi-core processor by YAO Qi, LIU Ji-qiang, HAN Zhen, SHEN Chang-xiang

“…A lock-free algorithm for Linux packet buffer recycling on multi-core processor was proposed.Through making a model of Linux network packet forwarding, the principle of Linux packet buffer recycling was analyzed, and the main reason that the mechanism wasn’t extensible on multi-core processor was pointed out .It was that mutual exclusion and cache coherence operations consumed too much CPU clock tick.A new buffer recycling algorithm named MSRQ was designed and implemented.With the new algorithm, the parallel operations on the recycling queue were permitted without mutual exclusion on multi-core processor.And the new algorithm had better cache behavior than original recy-cling algorithm.The experiment result shows that the performance of Linux network packet forwarding with the new algorithm can be improved more than 67%.…”

Patrol image analysis framework and deep learning method for power grid by Yuanning LI, Baifeng NING, Zhaojie DONG

“…With the development of intelligent manufacturing and IoT,UAV has been widely utilized by power grid enterprise in patrolling transmission lines.At the same time,massive patrol image data need to be analyzed urgently.A U2U image analysis framework was designed from user data collection,automatic annotation and to user feedback.Two deep learning methods,which were faster R-CNN and SSD,were explored and applied in U2U to detect five types of power components,including insulators,dampers,grading rings and shielding rings.A refining method based on K-means++ was proposed for the parameters of anchor box.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively improve the adaptability and detection accuracy of deep learning method for multiple-scale power components and provide a useful reference for subsequent defect detection and deep application of UAV patrolling.…”
