Improved ant colony algorithm based on natural selection strategy for solving TSP problem by Hua-feng WU, Xin-qiang CHEN, Qi-huang MAO, Qian-nan ZHANG, Shou-chun ZHANG

“…To solve basic ant colony algorithm's drawbacks of low convergence rate,easiness of trapping in local optimal solution,an improved ant colony algorithm based on natural selection was proposed.The improved algorithm employed evolution strategy of survival the fittest in natural lection to enhance pheromones in paths whose random evolution factor was bigger than threshold of evolution drift factor in each process of iteration.It could accelerate convergence rate effectively.Besides the introduction of random evolution factor reduced probability of trapping local optimal solution notably.The proposed algorithm was applied to classic TSP problem to find better solution for TSP.Simulation results depict the improved algorithm has better optimal solution and higher convergence rate.…”

INTEGRATED BAYESIAN CONFIDENCE RELIABILITY EVALUATION MODEL BASED ON WEIBULL TYPE ZERO-FAILURE DATA by HE WuHui, TANG JiaYin

“…According to the statistical property of the parameters,the pivot quantity of the confidence interval is constructed,and the interval estimation and reliability confidence lower limit of the Weibull distribution characteristic parameters are given.Taking the classical bearing test as an example,this method was compared with the calculation results of other methods,which proves the rationality and feasibility of this method in evaluating confidence reliability.…”

Complete positivity order and relative entropy decay by Li Gao, Marius Junge, Nicholas LaRacuente, Haojian Li

“…We prove that for a GNS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroup, the complete modified logarithmic Sobolev constant is bounded by the inverse of its complete positivity mixing time. For classical Markov semigroups, this gives a short proof that every sub-Laplacian of a Hörmander system on a compact manifold satisfies a modified log-Sobolev inequality uniformly for scalar and matrix-valued functions. …”

Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”

A survey of image object detection algorithm based on deep learning by Tingting ZHANG, Jianwu ZHANG, Chunsheng GUO, Huahua CHEN, Di ZHOU, Yansong WANG, Aihua XU

“…Image object detection is to find out the objects of interest in the image and determine their classifications and locations.It is a research hotspot in the field of computer vision.In recent years,due to the significant improvement in the accuracy of image classification with deep learning,image object detection models based on deep learning have gradually became mainstream.Firstly,the convolutional neural networks commonly used in image object detection were briefly introduced.Then,the existing classical image object detection models were reviewed from the perspective of candidate regions,regression and anchor-free methods.Finally,according to the detection results on the public dataset,the advantages and disadvantages of the models were analyzed,the problems in the image object detection research were summarized and the future development was forecasted.…”
