Social media user geolocalization based on multiple mention relationships by Yaqiong QIAO, Xiangyang LUO, Jiangtao MA, Chenliang LI, Meng ZHANG, Ruixiang LI

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing joint user geolocalization methods based on social media text and social relationships do not sufficiently mine the location correlation between heterogeneous data in social media, a social media user geolocalization method based on multiple mention relationships was proposed.First, a heterogeneous network was constructed by comprehensively considering the mention relationship between users, the user's mention relationship with location indicative words, and the user's mention relationship with geographic nouns.Then, a network simplification strategy was proposed to construct a user-location heterogeneous network that connects users live nearby more closely based on the common mention relationship.After that, a biased random walk algorithm was proposed for the graph node sampling to fully explore the network structure and alleviate the sparsity problem of known locations.Finally, a neural network classifier based on a multilayer perceptron was used to infer the user's location.Experimental results on three representative Twitter data sets of GEOTEXT, TW-US and TW-WORLD show that the proposed method can significantly improve the user geolocalization accuracy.…”

Sliding window constrained fault-tolerant filtering of compressor vibration data by Shaolin Hu, Xianxi Chen, Guoxi Sun

“…This difference series is then subjected to an additional smoothing estimation process, and the resulting smoothed estimates are employed to compensate for the smoothed estimates of the original sampled series. The experimental results indicate that, compared with sliding mean filtering, sliding median filtering and Savitzky–Golay filtering, the method proposed in this paper can more effectively filter out random errors and reduce the impact of outliers when dealing with sampling data contaminated by noise and outliers. …”
