Parallel deep forest algorithm based on Spark and three-way interactive information by Yimin MAO, Zhan ZHOU, Zhigang CHEN

“…To address issues such as excessive redundancy and irrelevant features, long class vectors, slow model convergence, and low efficiency of parallel training in parallel deep forests, a parallel deep forest algorithm based on Spark and three-way interactive information was proposed.Firstly, a feature selection based on feature interaction (FSFI) strategy was proposed to filter the original features and eliminate irrelevant and redundant features.Secondly, a multi-granularity vector elimination (MGVE) strategy was proposed, which fused similar class vectors and shortened the class vector length.Subsequently, the cascade forest feature enhancement (CFFE) strategy was proposed to improve the utilization of information and accelerate the convergence speed of the model.Finally, a multi-level load balancing (MLB) strategy was proposed, combined with the Spark framework, to improve the parallelization efficiency through adaptive sub-forest division and heterogeneous skew data partitioning.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the model classification effect and reduces the parallelization training time.…”

Study on the Dynamic Evolution of Transverse Collusive Bidding Behavior and Regulation Countermeasures Under the “Machine-Managed Bidding” System by Zongyuan Zhang, Jincan Liu, Zhitian Zhang, Bin Chen

“…Results indicate that: (1) The MMB model significantly mitigates vertical collusive bidding behavior but lacks measures for governing transverse collusive bidding; (2) The game model has five evolutionarily stable strategies, with the one where the collusion initiator adopting the “non-collude” strategy, the free bidder adopting the “bid” strategy, and the regulator adopting the “negative regulate” strategy being the optimal evolutionary stable strategy; (3) Decreasing the costs associated with preparing bid documents, enhancing supervision costs, increasing the technical complexity of collusive bidding, and expanding the total number of construction enterprises with high-credit and low-credit ratings can expedite the evolution of the three participants toward the optimal evolutionarily stable strategy. …”

A method of planning and designing transmission networks for government and enterprises based on a rectangle-like distribution model combined with heat maps by Shuchong NAN, Cheng CHEN, Xunbiao LIAN, Han WANG

“…The circuit direction and service access point of the special line service for government enterprise group customers are decided by the customers themselves, and the service opening is extremely unpredictable.In order to effectively solve the problems of strong subjectivity, difficult adjustment, long cycle and low efficiency in the service opening of government and enterprise customers, a typical simulation environment and a quasi rectangular distribution model was built, and two deployment strategies combined with the thermal map were proposed.The simulation analysis shows that under the same conditions, the number of VC-OTN (VC cross connecting function with optical transport network) points meeting the coverage requirements decreases with the increase of the maximum access distance, the client point coverage increases with the increase of the deployed VC-OTN points, and the deployment benefit of strategy 2 (group coverage by maturity) is higher than that of strategy 1 (priority coverage of hot spots).When the coverage requirements are met, the number of VC points required by the theoretical minimum, strategy 1 and strategy 2 are 26, 58 and 50, respectively.This method provides reliable theoretical guidance for the accurate and rapid construction of network system, avoids blind deployment, improves the accuracy of deployment planning, and provides construction reference ideas for the subsequent construction of urban VC-OTN nodes.…”
