This can lead to the situation where important tweets (i.e. the tweets the user is interested in) are pushed down on the list, thus, it takes time to find them. Social update stream ranking is a possible solution that puts important tweets on the top of the page, so that the user can easily read it. In this paper, we propose to apply hidden topics [1, 15, 20] in the Combined Regression Ranking algorithm [2] to rank social update streams. The proposed system works like a content based recommendation system. The experimental results show a significant improvement proving that our proposal is a suitable direction.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128197848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mechanism is controlled, to a large extend, by transcription factors that bind to regulatory sequences, such as enhancers. The identification of enhancers is therefore important for understanding the regulatory networks within cells. In this paper, we propose new features and kernels that can be used with support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to predict enhancers from genomic sequences. These are based on general sequence features and kernels but are extended to incorporate the information about the distance between the features, thus can better capture the spatial preferences and combinatorial binding rules of transcription factors. Experiments on predicting enhancers in human and Caenorhabditis elegans show that, by combining the proposed features and kernels with SVM, our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and outperforms a leading enhancer prediction method.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116159936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides using context dependent tri-phone units from a large corpus speech database, many prosody features have been used in full-context labels to improve naturalness of HMM-based Vietnamese synthesizer. In the prosodic specification, tone, part-of-speech (POS) and intonation information are considered not as important as positional information. Context-dependent information includes phoneme sequence as well as prosodic information because the naturalness of synthetic speech highly depends on the prosody such as pause, tone, intonation pattern, and segmental duration. In this paper, we propose decision tree questions that use context-dependent tones and investigate the impact of POS and intonation tagging on the naturalness of HMM-based voice. Experimental results show that our proposed method can improve naturalness of a HMM-based Vietnamese TTS through objective evaluation and MOS test.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127487488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this scheme, the feature set of latent fingerprint such as finger codes, basic patterns, ridge counts and minutia with their local structures are sequentially exploited in four cascaded layers. In the first layer, possible finger codes of latent fingerprint are recognized based on basic pattern features and then reordered to determine their database access priority. In the second layer, its minutiae are extracted and assessed to affine matching in the third layer. In the fourth layer, any case having too many candidates in the previous layer is further matched based on exploiting local structure in order to downsizing the result list. On the verification layer, the minutiae information and local structure of corresponding pairs are presented to human experts for further verification. Experimental results on C@FRIS database show that our proposed method obtains high matching accuracy and considerably low identification time.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125825238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to understand their content characteristics. This could be useful to understand Internet users' behaviour and manage web resources in order to provide a better video sharing service. In our work, we improved an existing graph-sampling algorithm so that it could be more adapted to sample over the video sharing websites. We crawled over 13 millions videos on YouTube and DailyMotion. We re-classified YouTube and DailyMotion content with our new category system and analysed the content category distribution and popularity of these two websites. We find that content in the “Media” category takes a large proportion in both websites, and also that the content category popularity does not depend on its proportion. Besides we then analyse the video duration and figure out that most videos on the video sharing websites are short, within several minutes. We study video count of views as well and find that the distribution of video count of views can be approximated by a negative exponential distribution that is long-tailed. That is to say, most of videos have a small or medium count of views; only a few videos can have a count of views of a bigger order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128711896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However for some object configurations involving geometric restrictions, the usual point by point scanning to image an object is not performing efficiently. We propose a solution to this problem based on the use of circular integral data generated along a circular path to reconstruct the image of the object under investigation. Similar circular integral data has occurred in Thermo/Opto/Photo-acoustic tomography as well as in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging where circular integral data is generated along a straight line path to image a landscape on the ground. We present the mathematical background of this new imaging technique, which has an exact reconstruction formula and give comparative simulation results to demonstrate its viability.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128712643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because the excess delay results in considerable inter-symbol interference (ISI) between adjacent symbols and inter-carrier-interference (ICI) among subcarrier in the same symbol. In the case of scattered pilot (SP), the interference of pilot signals causes the deterioration of channel estimation. In this paper, we propose the interference compensation scheme using the time domain replica signals.We make the time domain replica signals from detected signals and the excess channel impulse responses over GI. After compensation of the time domain replica signals and the received signals, we recalculate the channel state information (CSI) and the CSI is updated. Finally, we carry out the channel compensation with updated CSI for obtaining an accurate compensated signals.","PeriodicalId":121216,"journal":{"name":"The 2013 RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies - Research, Innovation, and Vision for Future (RIVF)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133263080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
