Étudiants, sitters, nouchi et bakoroman by Muriel Champy

“…Divided into recurring themes like political mobilisation, waiting and mobility, it shows that, far from only being a question of age, youth presents itself as an implicitly male category, which is designated as such only when it acquires a certain sociopolitical visibility and oppositional firepower.Finally, based on the author’s research among young people living on the streets in Burkina Faso (bakoroman), this article concludes by observing the “young” category’s recent intrusion into Burkina Faso’s political scene, to the point that a re-transcription of vernacular language seems to be asserting itself in the “zenna” written form.…”

Joint recommendation algorithm based on tensor completion and user preference by Zhi XIONG, Kai XU, Lingru CAI, Weihong CAI

“…Aiming at the problem that existing recommendation algorithms have little regard for user preference,and the recommendation result is not satisfactory,a joint recommendation algorithm based on tensor completion and user preference was proposed.First,a user-item-category 3-dimensional tensor was built based on user-item scoring matrix and item-category matrix.Then,the Frank-Wolfe algorithm was used for iterative calculation to fill in the missing data of the tensor.At the same time,a user category preference matrix and a scoring preference matrix were built based on the 3-dimensional tensor.Finally,a joint recommendation algorithm was designed based on the completed tensor and the two preference matrices,and the differential evolution algorithm was used for parameter tuning.The experimental results show that compared with some typical and newly proposed recommendation algorithms,the proposed algorithm is superior to the compare algorithms,the precision is improved by 1.96% ~ 3.44% on average,and the recall rate is improved by 1.35%~2.40% on average.…”

Quelle place pour les masculinités dans la spiritualité béguinale ? Penser les béguins au regard des études de genre by Claire Donnat-Aracil

Evaluation and protection of multi-level location privacy based on an information theoretic approach by Wenjing ZHANG, Qiao LIU, Hui ZHU

“…A privacy metric based on mutual information was proposed to measure the privacy leakage occurred when location data owner trust data users at different levels and need to publish the distorted location data to each user according to her trust level,based on which an location privacy protection mechanism (LPPM)was generated to protect user’s location privacy.In addition,based on mutual information,a metric was proposed to measure the privacy leakage caused by attackers obtaining different levels of distorted location data and then performing inference attack on the original location data more accurately.Another privacy metric was also proposed to quantify the information leakage occurred in the scenario based on mutual information.In particular,the proposed privacy mechanism was designed by modifying Blahut-Arimoto algorithm in rate-distortion theory.Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed LPPM over an existing LPPM in terms of location privacyutility tradeoff in both scenarios,which is more conspicuous when there are highly popular locations.…”

Analysis of Stiffness Characteristic of Five-degree-of-freedom Hammer Riveting Robot based on Spiral Theory by Chunying Jiang, Xiangchen Liu, Changlong Ye, Huan Zhou, Xu Guan

“…In order to meet the processing requirements of large aerospace thin-walled curved workpieces，a five-degree-of-freedom （5-DOF） hammer riveting robot is designed. In view of the characteristics of the 5-DOF hammer riveting robot， combining Lie group Lie algebra and spiral theory， its kinematics model is established and solved； use the exponential product formula to derive the Jacobian matrix of the robot，and use the stiffness mapping theory to solve the stiffness matrix of the robot； the finite element and Matlab simulation software are used to simulate and verify the end deformation under the general pose and the extreme pose，and the stiffness distribution map of the robot in the task space varying with the change of pose is given；the simulation result is compared with the theoretical calculation value and the error is not more than 10%，which verify the correctness and effectiveness of the established stiffness model and provide important reference for optimization of subsequent work path.…”

Accelerated unconstrained latent factorization of tensor model for Web service QoS estimation by Mingwei LIN, Wenqiang LI, Xiuqin XU, Jian LIU

“…Aiming at the problem that the Web service quality of service (QoS) estimation methods based on the non-negative latent factorization of tensor model (NLFT) depend heavily on non-negative initial random data and specially designed non-negative training schemes, which lead to low compatibility and scalability, an accelerated unconstrained latent factorization of tensor (AULFT) model was proposed.The proposed model consisted of three main parts.The non-negative constraints from decision parameters were transferred to output latent factors and they were connected through the single-element-dependent mapping function.A momentum-incorporated stochastic gradient descent (MSGD) algorithm was used to effectively improve the convergence rate and estimation accuracy of the proposed AULFT model.The detailed algorithm and result analysis of the proposed AULFT model were presented.The empirical study on two dynamic QoS datasets in real industrial applications demonstrates that the proposed AULFT model has higher computational efficiency and estimation accuracy than the state-of-the-art QoS estimation models.…”
