Efficient privacy-preserving image retrieval scheme over outsourced data with multi-user by Xiangyu WANG, Jianfeng MA, Yinbin MIAO

“…The traditional privacy-preserving image retrieval schemes not only bring large computational and communication overhead,but also cannot protect the image and query privacy in multi-user scenarios.To solve above problems,an efficient privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval scheme was proposed in multi-user scenarios.The scheme used Euclidean distance comparison technique to rank the pictures according to similarity of picture feature vectors and return top-k returned.Meanwhile,the efficient key conversion protocol designed in proposed image retrieval scheme allowed each search user to generate queries based on his own private key so that he can retrieval encrypted images generated by different data owners.Strict security analysis shows that the user privacy and cloud data security can be well protected during the image retrieval process,and the performance analysis using real-world dataset shows that the proposed image retrieval scheme is efficient and feasible in practical applications.…”

Deep Web new data discovery strategy based on the graph model of data attribute value lists by Zhi-ming CUI, Peng-peng ZHAO, Xue-feng XIAN, Li-gang FANG, Yuan-feng YANG, Cai-dong GU

“…A novel deep Web data discovery strategy was proposed for new generated data record in resources.In the ap-proach,a new graph model of deep Web data attribute value lists was used to indicate the deep Web data source,an new data crawling task was transformed into a graph traversal process.This model was only related to the data,compared with the ex-isting query-related graph model had better adaptability and certainty,applicable to contain only a simple query interface of deep Web data sources.Based on this model,which could discovery incremental nodes and predict new data mutual infor-mation was used to compute the dependencies between nodes.When the query selects,as much as possible to reduce the negative impact brought by the query-dependent.This strategy improves the data crawling efficiency.Experimental results show that this strategy could maximize the synchronization between local and remote data under the same restriction.…”

A scalable parallel sorting algorithm by regular sampling for big data by Ying WANG, Zhiguang CHEN, Yutong LU

“…Sorting is one of the basic algorithms in computer science, and has been extensively used in a variety of applications.In the big data era, as the volumes of data increase rapidly, parallel sorting has attracted much attention.Existing parallel sorting algorithms suffered from excessive communication overhead and load imbalance, making it difficult to scale massively.To solve above problems, a scalable parallel algorithm sorting by regular sampling (ScaPSRS) was proposed, which sampled the p-1 pivot elements to divide the entire data set into p disjoint subsets by all parallel processes, rather than by only one given process as PSRS did.Furthermore, ScaPSRS adopted a novel iterative update strategy of selecting pivots to guarantee that the workloads and data were evenly scheduled among the parallel processes, thus ensuring superior overall performance.A variety of experiments conducted on the Tianhe-Ⅱ supercomputer demonstrated that ScaPSRS succeeded in scaling to 32 000 cores and outperformed state-of-the-art works significantly.…”
