An Empirical Configuration Study of a Common Document Clustering Pipeline by Anton Eklund, Mona Forsman, Frank Drewes

“…The results suggest that BERT embeddings combined with UMAP dimension reduction to no less than 15 dimensions provides a good basis for clustering, regardless of the specific clustering algorithm used. Moreover, while UMAP performed better than PCA in our experiments, tuning the UMAP settings showed little impact on the overall performance. …”

Design of nodes importance assessment method for complex network based on neighborhood information by Xing LI, Jie ZHAN, Baoquan REN, Siqi ZHU

“…Accurate identification of influential nodes in complex networks is crucial for network management and network security.The local centrality method is concise and easy to use, but ignores the topological relationship between neighboring nodes and cannot provide globally optimal results.A node importance assessment method was proposed to correlate the node edge relationship and topology, which firstly applied the H-index and information entropy to assess the nodes, then combined the structural holes of the nodes with the structural characteristics of the nodes, and took into account the attribute of “bridging” while focusing on the node’s own quality and the amount of information about the neighboring nodes.The algorithm was validated by simulating the propagation process using the SIR model, and the Kendall correlation coefficient, complementary cumulative distribution function and propagation influence were applied to validate the validity and applicability of the method.Comparison of the experimental results on six real network datasets shows that the proposed method is more accurate than the traditional centrality methods in identifying and ordering the key nodes in the network.…”

Design and Analysis of Parallel Adjusting Equipment of Vertical Drilling by Zhou Bin, Zeng Yishan, Zi Bin

“…Focusing on the current limited vertical adjustment technique of large-scale drillings,a 6-DOF parallel adjustment equipment with 12 inputs is designed for the working condition of vertical drilling.The equipment mechanism consists of 6branched chains with redundancy which are symmetrical in structure.Each of the chains is composed by a compound of rotate joint and a compound of spherical joint,while the two pairs are connected by two prismatic pairs.The modal analysis is carried out on the body which is based on ANSYS software,first six order frequency distribution and modal vibration mode,and along the X、Y、Zdirection of the displacement frequency response about the moving platform are got.The analysis consequence shows that the most sensitive of external forces to the moving platform is 46 Hz frequency.Otherwise,the working space of the 6-DOF platform is obtained by using the 3-D searching algorithm.The results have significant meanings in the further research on the correlation between the parameters and the whole mechanism,as well as the optimization of the parameter.…”

Client grouping and time-sharing scheduling for asynchronous federated learning in heterogeneous edge computing environment by Qianpiao MA, Qingmin JIA, Jianchun LIU, Hongli XU, Renchao XIE, Tao HUANG

“…., edge heterogeneity, data Non-IID, and communication resource constraints, a grouping asynchronous federated learning (FedGA) mechanism was proposed.Edge nodes were divided into multiple groups, each of which performed global updated asynchronously with the global model, while edge nodes within a group communicate with the parameter server through time-sharing communication.Theoretical analysis established a quantitative relationship between the convergence bound of FedGA and the data distribution among the groups.A time-sharing scheduling magic mirror method (MMM) was proposed to optimize the completion time of a single round of model updating within a group.Based on both the theoretical analysis for FedGA and MMM, an effective grouping algorithm was designed for minimizing the overall training completion time.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FedGA and MMM can reduce model training time by 30.1%～87.4% compared to the existing state-of-the-art methods.…”
