Precise forecasts of the propagation patterns of social commerce information play a crucial part in precision marketing. Traditional forecast relies on machine learning diffusion models, in which the forecast accuracy is dependent on the quality of the designed features. Researchers using these models are required to have experience in this regard, but due to the complexity and variations of real-world social commerce information propagation, design of features for the prediction model turns out difficult and is likely to cause local or universal errors in the model. To address these problems, this study proposed an information propagation prediction model based on Transformer. First, the fully-connected neural network was employed to code the user nodes to low-dimension vectors; then, Transformer was employed to perform information of the user-node vectors; last, the output of the Transformer was uploaded to the output layer to forecast the next user node in information propagation. The model was tested on data sets obtained from Sina Weibo, and the test result shows that the proposed model outperformed baseline models in terms of the indicators of Acc@k and MRR.

Abstract Background and purpose To explore whether a highly refined dose volume histograms (DVH) prediction model can improve the accuracy and reliability of knowledge-based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning for cervical cancer. Methods and materials The proposed model underwent repeated refining through progressive training until the training samples increased from initial 25 prior plans up to 100 cases. The estimated DVHs derived from the prediction models of different runs of training were compared in 35 new cervical cancer patients to analyze the effect of such an interactive plan and model evolution method. The reliability and efficiency of knowledge-based planning (KBP) using this highly refined model in improving the consistency and quality of the VMAT plans were also evaluated. Results The prediction ability was reinforced with the increased number of refinements in terms of normal tissue sparing. With enhanced prediction accuracy, more than 60% of automatic plan-6 (AP-6) plans (22/35) can be directly approved for clinical treatment without any manual revision. The plan quality scores for clinically approved plans (CPs) and manual plans (MPs) were on average 89.02 ± 4.83 and 86.48 ± 3.92 (p < 0.001). Knowledge-based planning significantly reduced the Dmean and V18 Gy for kidney (L/R), the Dmean, V30 Gy, and V40 Gy for bladder, rectum, and femoral head (L/R). Conclusion The proposed model evolution method provides a practical way for the KBP to enhance its prediction ability with minimal human intervene. This highly refined prediction model can better guide KBP in improving the consistency and quality of the VMAT plans.

Abstract This study aims at constructing a microblog influence prediction model and revealing how the user, time, and content features of microblog entries about public health emergencies affect the influence of microblog entries. Microblog entries about the Ebola outbreak are selected as data sets. The BM25 latent Dirichlet allocation model (LDA-BM25) is used to extract topics from the microblog entries. A microblog influence prediction model is proposed by using the random forest method. Results reveal that the proposed model can predict the influence of microblog entries about public health emergencies with a precision rate reaching 88.8%. The individual features that play a role in the influence of microblog entries, as well as their influence tendencies are also analyzed. The proposed microblog influence prediction model consists of user, time, and content features. It makes up the deficiency that content features are often ignored by other microblog influence prediction models. The roles of the three features in the influence of microblog entries are also discussed.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to focus on the assembly quality of copier products, specifically, concentrating on the prediction of the operator‐induced assembly defect.Design/methodology/approachBased on the Shibata model, the design‐based assembly complexity is redesigned. And the Sony Standard Time is replaced by the Fuji Xerox Standard Time in the calculation of the process‐based assembly complexity. Furthermore, different correlation functions are attempted and comparatively studied in the regression analysis. Thereby, a new defect rate prediction model is proposed and validated with three copier assembly cases.FindingsThe new proposed model is much more accurate and stable in the human‐induced assembly defect prediction in copier production.Practical implicationsThe proposed model can be used to ensure the assembly quality by removing potential defects at the structure and process design stages. Meanwhile, with this model, the interactions between the engineers and designers can be more effective.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel assembly defect rate prediction model for copier assembly quality management.

Convolutional neural network (CNN) has shown excellent performance in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, the structure of the CNN models is complex, requiring many training parameters and floating-point operations (FLOPs). This is often inefficient and results in longer training and testing time. In addition, the label samples of hyperspectral data are limited, and a deep network often causes the over-fitting phenomenon. Hence, a dual-path small convolution (DPSC) module is proposed. It is composed of two 1 × 1 small convolutions with a residual path and a density path. It can effectively extract abstract features from HSI. A dual-path small convolution network (DPSCN) is constructed by stacking DPSC modules. Specifically, the proposed model uses a DPSC module to complete the extraction of spectral and spectral–spatial features successively. It then uses a global average pooling layer at the end of the model to replace the conventional fully connected layer to complete the final classification. In the implemented study, all convolutional layers of the proposed network, except the middle layer, use 1 × 1 small convolution, effectively reduced model parameters and increased the speed of feature extraction processes. DPSCN was compared with several current state-of-the-art models. The results on three benchmark HSI data sets demonstrated that the proposed model is of lower complexity, has stronger generalization ability, and has higher classification efficiency.

In recent years, a huge increase in the demand of medically related data is reported. Due to this, research in medical disease diagnosis has emerged as one of the most demanding research domains. The research reported in this chapter is based on developing an ACO (ant colony optimization)-based Bayesian hybrid prediction model for medical disease diagnosis. The proposed model is presented in two phases. In the first phase, the authors deal with feature selection by using the application of a nature-inspired algorithm known as ACO. In the second phase, they use the obtained feature subset as input for the naïve Bayes (NB) classifier for enhancing the classification performances over medical domain data sets. They have considered 12 datasets from different organizations for experimental purpose. The experimental analysis advocates the superiority of the presented model in dealing with medical data for disease prediction and diagnosis.
