Instance structure based multi-label learning with missing labels by Tianzhu CHEN, Fenghua LI, Yunchuan GUO, Zifu LI

“…To address the problem that the existing methods in multi-label learning did not efficiently deal with the problems, the instance structure based multi-label learning scheme with missing labels was proposed.By considering the feature and label structure of instance, the similarity of label vectors were exploit to fill the missing labels and the weight rank loss was exploit to reduce the model bias.Meanwhile, the weight rank loss was also exploit to reduce the model bias.More specially, the manifold structure was capture by forcing the consistency of the geometry similarity of labels and one of the predicted labels.By measuring ranking loss for complete labels and incomplete labels, the relevance of label was distinguish to instance.Experiment results show that the superior performances of the proposed approach compared with the state-of-the-art methods and the accuracy is improved by more than 10% compared with the best comparison scheme under some evaluation criteria.…”

Accelerated traffic replay method based on time compression by Shuo WANG, Jun BAI, Bailing WANG, Xu ZHANG, Hongri LIU

“…With the proliferation of network traffic, replaying traffic in a virtual environment faces many problems.In order to meet the requirements of traffic integrity and accuracy in the replay process, an accelerated traffic replay method based on time-compressed was proposed to achieve accelerated replay of real network traffic in a virtual environment.The method prioritized the compression of the largest time interval in the set of time intervals, and reduced the compression of the smaller intervals, thus reducing the traffic spike per unit time caused by time compression, and reducing the packet loss rate of traffic.The effect was measured in terms of packet loss rate, time interval error and similarity.The experiments show that this method has a lower packet loss rate and lower time interval error compared with the isometric compression method, although it performs worse in similarity.…”

Network queue scheduling algorithm based on self-similar traffic level grading prediction by Debin WEI, Ting SHEN, Li YANG, Yaowen QI

“…Self-similarity characteristic of network traffic will lead to the continuous burstness of data in the network.In order to effectively reduce the queue delay and packet loss rate caused by network traffic burst,improve the transmission capacity of different priority services,and guarantee the service quality requirements,a queue scheduling algorithm P-DWRR based on the self-similarity of network traffic was proposed.A dynamic weight allocation method and a service quantum update method based on the self-similar traffic level grading prediction results were designed,and the service order of the queue according was determined to the service priority and queue waiting time,so as to reduce the queuing delay and packet loss rate.The simulation results show that the P-DWRR algorithm can reduce the queueing delay,delay jitter and packet loss rate on the basis of satisfying the different service priority requirements of the network,and its performance is better than that of DWRR and VDWRR.…”

Research on federated learning approach based on local differential privacy by Haiyan KANG, Yuanrui JI

“…As a type of collaborative machine learning framework, federated learning is capable of preserving private data from participants while training the data into useful models.Nevertheless, from a viewpoint of information theory, it is still vulnerable for a curious server to infer private information from the shared models uploaded by participants.To solve the inference attack problem in federated learning training, a local differential privacy federated learning (LDP-FL) approach was proposed.Firstly, to ensure the federated model training process was protected from inference attacks, a local differential privacy mechanism was designed for transmission of parameters in federated learning.Secondly, a performance loss constraint mechanism for federated learning was proposed and designed to reduce the performance loss of local differential privacy federated model by optimizing the constraint range of the loss function.Finally, the effectiveness of proposed LDP-FL approach was verified by comparative experiments on MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets.…”

Algorithm for k-anonymity based on projection area density partition by Chao WANG, Jing YANG, Jian-pei ZHANG, Gang LV

“…In data publishing privacy preserving,while classifying temporary anonymous groups,the existing algorithms didn’t consider the distance between adjacent data points,and could easily produce a lot of unnecessary information loss,thus affecting the availability of released anonymous data sets.To solve the above problem,the concept of rectangular projection area,the projection area density and partition coefficient characterization were presented,aim to increase the recording points’s projection area density to divide temporary anonymous group reasonably,and to make the information loss of divided anonymous groups as small as possible.And presents the algorithm for k-anonymity based on projection area density partition,by optimizing the rounded partition function and properties dimension selection strategy,to reduce unnecessary information loss and to further improve the availability of released data sets,without reducing the number of anonymous groups.The rationality and validity of the algorithm are verified by theoretical analysis and multiple experiments.…”
