One-Class Collaborative Filtering (OCCF) is an emerging setup in collaborative filtering which only positive examples or implicit feedback can be observed. Compared with the traditional setting where data has ratings, OCCF more realistic many scenarios when no ratings are available. In this paper, we propose to improve accuracy by exploiting rich user information that often naturally available community-based interactive systems, including a user's search query history, purchasing and...

Collaborative driving can significantly reduce the computation offloading from autonomous vehicles (AVs) to edge computing devices (ECDs) and cost of each AV. However, frequent information exchanges between AVs for determining members in collaborative group will consume a lot time resources. In addition, since have different capabilities costs, collaboration types distribution groups directly affect performance cooperative driving. Therefore, how develop an efficient scheme minimize...

Integrated photonics provides a promising platform for quantum key distribution (QKD) system in terms of miniaturization, robustness, and scalability. Tremendous QKD works based on integrated have been reported. Nonetheless, most current chip-based implementations require additional off-chip hardware to demodulate states or perform auxiliary tasks such as time synchronization polarization basis tracking. Here, we report demonstration resource-efficient BB84 with silicon-based encoder...

Abstract On February 6, a successive rupture of major faults in the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone and Cardak-Surgu fault triggered strong mainshock (M w 7.7) aftershock 7.6) Kahramanmaras. The earthquake sequence hit southern provinces Türkiye northern regions Syria, causing severe fatality economic loss. After earthquakes, International Consortium on Geo-disaster Reduction (ICGdR) organized an investigation team, involving specialists from China, Japan Türkiye, to conduct primary field...

<title>Abstract</title> Quantum key distribution (QKD) leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to enable generation unconditionally secure keys for remote communication, even in presence an eavesdropper with unlimited computational power. A critical component QKD is information reconciliation (IR), which mitigates bit errors introduced by system imperfections and channel noise, ensuring integrity shared key. Polar codes-based IR schemes have attracted considerable attention due their...

We describe an innovative and scalable recommendation system successfully deployed at eBay. To build recommenders for long-tail marketplaces requires projection of volatile items into a persistent space latent products. first present generative clustering model collections unstructured, heterogeneous, ephemeral item data, under the assumption that are generated from An is represented as vector independently distinctly distributed variables, while product characterized probability...

The high-speed maglev vehicle-guideway coupled system (MVGCS) is a complex system, whose random vibration characteristics have not been well studied due to limited number of examples. To address this issue, new efficient approach proposed for the analysis MVGCS, which combines probability density evolution method and multi-time step with multiple loads considered. model established 10-degree-of-freedom vehicles guideway time-dependent, considering two different supporting conditions. Monte...

Web service composition can enhance the efficiency and agility of knowledge management by composing individual services together for complex business requirements. There are two main research streams in representation composition: syntactic-based approach semantic-based approach. Despite promises brought each approach, largely separated from other. In this article, we propose an integrated ontology-supported framework, which provides a novel solution to organizational management. By...

Based on the data relevant to four public utility services (water, natural gas, electricity and thermoelectricity) collected by a personally administered on-site survey, authors develop model assess perceived service quality of services. In model, has multi-level, multi-dimensional structure with three primary dimensions: outcome, environment interaction. Eight sub-dimensions are also specified measure these dimensions. This study contributes literature providing conceptual for provides...

We release and introduce SoftTiger, a clinical large language model (CLaM) designed as foundation for healthcare workflows. The narrative unstructured nature of notes is major obstacle intelligentization. address critical problem structuring into data, according to international interoperability standards. collect annotate data three subtasks, namely, patient summary, impression medical encounter. then supervised fine-tuned state-of-the-art LLM using public credentialed data. training...

Wireless mesh networks provide a flexible yet cost- effective means to expand wireless coverage, but their performance can be limited without carefully managing station-to-AP associations minimize the total end-to-end resource impact. The received signal strength-based approach that is commonly used by 802.11 devices lead inefficient use of network resources in network. In this paper we propose network-assisted association scheme for 802.11-based provides guidance exposing stations details...

Purpose This paper aims to propose a conceptual model for improving the organization of user needs information in big data environment. Design/methodology/approach A based on Linked Data techniques is constructed. has three layers: Layer, Semantic Layer and Application Layer. Findings Requirements organizing environment are identified as follows: intelligence level, establishing standards guidelines description information, enabling interconnection considering individual privacy analysis...

A supply chain is a network of suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centers and retailers, through which raw materials are acquired, transformed, produced delivered to the customer. management system (SCMS) manages cooperation these components. In computational world, roles individual entities in can be implemented as distinct agents. The functions procedures company real market complicated include information collection, policy making actions. Therefor, it impossible describe...

The usage of data in many commercial applications has been growing at an unprecedented pace the last decade. While successful mining efforts lead to major business advances, there were also numerous, less publicized that for one or another reason failed. In this paper, we discuss practical lessons based on years our experiences Yahoo! and offer insights into how drive effort success a environment.

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) has gained widespread attention due to its unique advantage for practical application, as it circumvents the need active reference-frame alignment within system. However, in comparison standard BB84 protocol, original six-state RFI protocol requires a greater number of states be operated by Alice and Bob, which is an aspect that merits optimization. In this work, we propose four-state illustrate Bob each require only four perform...

Illustration, as a more direct image expression than text communication, has spread from ancient times to the present, broadly speaking, stone age murals patterns on bronze heavy objects, and then New Year pictures posted by every household in times. It is best way explain information processing. However, modern business, application of illustrations developed expanded with changes newspapers books early 19th century. With variety becoming abundant, differences painting methods painters'...
