Human–Machine Cooperations (HMCs) can balance the advantages and disadvantages of human computation (accurate but costly) and machine computation (cheap but inaccurate). This paper studies HMCs in agglomerative hierarchical clusterings, where the mac...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of Cloud services in an uncertain environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to better model the subjectivity and imprecision in the perfor...

Nowadays, how to evaluate image quality reasonably is a basic and challenging problem. In view of the present no reference evaluation methods, they cannot reflect the human visual perception of image quality accurately. In this paper, we propose an e...

This paper proposes moving mesh strategies for the moving mesh methods when solving the nonlinear time dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). Firstly we analyse Huang’s moving mesh PDEs (MMPDEs) and observe that, after Euler discretion they...

Devising methods to publish social network data in a form that affords utility without compromising privacy remains a longstanding challenge, while many existing methods based on k-anonymity algorithms on social networks may result in nontrivial util...

Our purpose of this paper is to solve a class of stochastic linear complementarity problems (SLCP) with finitely many elements. Based on a new stochastic linear complementarity problem function, a new semi-smooth least squares reformulation of the st...

This paper presents the development and evaluation of two linear algorithms for forecasting reception power for different channels at an assigned spectrum band of global systems for mobile communications (GSM), in order to analyze the spatial opportu...

Reduction of contour error is a very important issue for high precise contour tracking applications, and many control systems were proposed to deal with contour tracking problems for two/three axial translational motion systems. However, there is no...

The smart meter is an important part of the smart grid, and in order to take full advantage of smart meter data, this paper mines the electricity behaviors of smart meter users to improve the accuracy of load forecasting. First, the typical day loads...

We propose a two-stage method to test the robustness of the generalized approximate message passing algorithm (GAMP). A pursuit process based on the marginal posterior probability is inserted in the standard GAMP algorithm to find the support of a sp...
