Data have become an important asset. Mining the value contained in personal data, making personal data an exchangeable commodity, has become a hot spot of industry research. Then, how to price personal data reasonably becomes a problem we have to face. Based on previous research on data provenance, this paper proposes a novel minimum provenance pricing method, which is to price the minimum source tuple set that contributes to the query. Our pricing model first sets prices for source tuples according to their importance and then makes query pricing based on data provenance, which considers both the importance of the data itself and the relationships between the data. We design an exact algorithm that can calculate the exact price of a query in exponential complexity. Furthermore, we design an easy approximate algorithm, which can calculate the approximate price of the query in polynomial time. We instantiated our model with a select-joint query and a complex query and extensively evaluated its performances on two practical datasets. The experimental results show that our pricing model is feasible.

Nowadays, personalized recommendation based on knowledge graphs has become a hot spot for researchers due to its good recommendation effect. In this paper, we researched personalized recommendation based on knowledge graphs. First of all, we study the knowledge graphs’ construction method and complete the construction of the movie knowledge graphs. Furthermore, we use Neo4j graph database to store the movie data and vividly display it. Then, the classical translation model TransE algorithm in knowledge graph representation learning technology is studied in this paper, and we improved the algorithm through a cross-training method by using the information of the neighboring feature structures of the entities in the knowledge graph. Furthermore, the negative sampling process of TransE algorithm is improved. The experimental results show that the improved TransE model can more accurately vectorize entities and relations. Finally, this paper constructs a recommendation model by combining knowledge graphs with ranking learning and neural network. We propose the Bayesian personalized recommendation model based on knowledge graphs (KG-BPR) and the neural network recommendation model based on knowledge graphs(KG-NN). The semantic information of entities and relations in knowledge graphs is embedded into vector space by using improved TransE method, and we compare the results. The item entity vectors containing external knowledge information are integrated into the BPR model and neural network, respectively, which make up for the lack of knowledge information of the item itself. Finally, the experimental analysis is carried out on MovieLens-1M data set. The experimental results show that the two recommendation models proposed in this paper can effectively improve the accuracy, recall, F1 value and MAP value of recommendation.

Simplicial depth (SD) plays an important role in discriminant analysis, hypothesis testing, machine learning, and engineering computations. However, the computation of simplicial depth is hugely challenging because the exact algorithm is an NP problem with dimension d and sample size n as input arguments. The approximate algorithm for simplicial depth computation has extremely low efficiency, especially in high-dimensional cases. In this study, we design an importance sampling algorithm for the computation of simplicial depth. As an advanced Monte Carlo method, the proposed algorithm outperforms other approximate and exact algorithms in accuracy and efficiency, as shown by simulated and real data experiments. Furthermore, we illustrate the robustness of simplicial depth in regression analysis through a concrete physical data experiment.

We consider the problem of the task-level robot learning from demonstration. In particular, we consider a model that uses the hierarchical control structure. For this model, we propose the problem of selection of action examples. We present a polynomial time algorithm for solution of this problem. Also, we consider some experimental results for task-level learning from demonstration.

Typical testors are useful tools for feature selection and for determining feature relevance in supervised classification problems. Nowadays, computing all typical testors of a training matrix is very expensive; all reported algorithms have exponential complexity depending on the number of columns in the matrix. In this paper, we introduce the faster algorithm BR (Boolean Recursive), called fast-BR algorithm, that is based on elimination of gaps and reduction of columns. Fast-BR algorithm is designed to generate all typical testors from a training matrix, requiring a reduced number of operations. Experimental results using this fast implementation and the comparison with other state-of-the-art related algorithms that generate typical testors are presented.

Nowadays, department stores and online merchants usually develop some price promotion strategies to attract customers and increase their purchase intention. Therefore, it is significant for customers to pick out attractive products and obtain the maximum discount rate. Admittedly, the skyline query is a most useful tool to find out attractive products. However, it does little to help select the product combinations with the maximum discount rate. Motivated by this, we identify an interesting problem, a most preferential skyline product (MPSP) combination discovering problem, which is NP-hard, for the first time in the literature. This problem aims to report all skyline product combinations having the maximum discount rate. Since the exact algorithm for the MPSP is not scalable to large or high-dimensional datasets, we design an approximate algorithm that guarantees the accuracy of the results. The experiment results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.

Biclustering has been extensively studied in many fields such as data mining, e-commerce, computational biology, information security, etc. Problems of finding bicliques in bipartite, which are variants of biclustering, have received much attention in recent years due to its importance for biclustering. The k-biclique vertex partition problem proposed by Bein et al. is one of finding bicliques problems in bipartite. Its aim is to find k bicliques (kk) such that each vertex of the bipartite occurs in exactly one member of these bicliques. First, we give a sufficient condition of the k-biclique vertex partition problem. Moreover, we present an exact algorithm for finding k-biclique vertex partitions of a bipartite. Finally, we propose a method to generate simulated datasets used to test the algorithm. Experimental results on simulated datasets show that the algorithm can find k-biclique vertex partitions of a bipartite with relatively fast speed.

This paper reports the test results of vapor chambers using copper post heaters and silicon die heaters. Experiments were conducted to understand the effects of nonuniform heating conditions (hot spots) on the evaporative thermal performance of vapor chambers. In contrast to the copper post heater, which provides ideal heating, a silicon chip package was developed to replicate more realistic heat source boundary conditions of microprocessors. The vapor chambers were tested for hot spot heat fluxes as high as 746 W/cm2. The experimental results show that evaporator thermal resistance is not sensitive to nonuniform heat conditions, i.e., it is the same as in the uniform heating case. In addition, a model was developed to predict the effective thickness of a sintered-wick layer saturated with water at the evaporator. The model assumes that the pore sizes in the sintered particle wick layer are distributed nonuniformly. With an increase of heat flux, liquid in the larger size pores are dried out first, followed by drying of smaller size pores. Statistical analysis of the pore size distribution is used to calculate the fraction of the pores that remain saturated with liquid at a given heat flux condition. The model successfully predicts the experimental results of evaporative thermal resistance of vapor chambers for both uniform and nonuniform heat fluxes.

The hot spot forming tendency during solidification of AZ91D magnesium alloy in permanent mould casting with the dies of different wall thickness via numerical simulation with Anycasting software was studied in the present paper. The experimental results showed that in a single cycle casting the increase in the thickness enhanced the cooling ability of the mould and promoted balanced solidification in a certain degree, while in multi-cycle casting, the thickened die-wall gradually lose its localized chilling effect. In contrast, the die with a decreased wall thickness in a certain range was easier to achieve the desired solidification balance.
