With some defects followed, rewarding, punishing and mixed mechanisms have been proposed to finish this goal. Here, an endogenous combination of rewards and punishments is developed based on standard PGG aimed at inducing cooperative behavior and overcoming shortcomings in previous mechanisms. Under different key parameters, a trade-off can be observed in both static analysis and evolutionary simulation, which is the difficulty in solving social dilemmas. Under appropriate parameters, the simulation experiment proves that the mechanism proposed in this paper improves the contribution of groups to public utilities. Moreover, we also discovered that even in extremely passive environments, defectors do not turn strategy into cooperation. They wait and see, and if the conditions are still negative, then they cooperate. This phenomenon shows that individuals, even if they decide to change their strategies, are unwilling to undergo dramatic behavioral changes.","PeriodicalId":241191,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Crowd Science and Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124030484","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}

But in human economic society, how this strategy works in resource allocation and what consequences it may bring in a free-market context still remain to be explored. In this paper, we modeled human bluffing behavior in a designed price bargain game, proposed a matched-by-individuals resource allocation method and ran a series of agent-based simulation experiments to compare it with matched-by-authority method. The simulation results show that matched-by-individuals method driven by endogenous bluffing behavior promotes resource utilization at the individual level compared with matched-by-authority method driven by exogenous compulsive power, but leads to the imbalance of welfare at the social level. Efficiency or equality, this seems to be an unavoidable question when talking about free market. Our findings emphasize the necessary of a comprehensive vision in public administration and of implications to distributed resource allocation system design.","PeriodicalId":241191,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Crowd Science and Engineering","volume":"209 0 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117082318","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 paper, we use the historical data in the e-commerce market to establish the model to predict the sales. According to the characteristics of different data, three types of prediction models are: Incentive Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average(I-ARIMA), Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) and Artificial Neural Network(ANN). These three methods can deal with the problem with different accuracy requirements and different data types.

The information is shared via searching and routing in the circle of friends. The demand of searching the commodity information in an efficient way motivates this study. We develop an algorithm that can search the information for a certain node in a short period of time and with low network resource consumption. This paper proposes a heuristic search algorithm, the hybrid breadth-depth (HBD) algorithm, which helps to find suitable suppliers and commodities in the CITN for any demand of the buyers. The HBD algorithm takes full advantage of the breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS). It defines the relevance between nodes, optimizes the search rules and forwarding paths based on the relevance between nodes and the neighbor nodes in their circles of friends, and improves both the success rate and efficiency. Our test on the performance of the HBD algorithm shows that it is superior in the success rate, search time, matching degree, network resource consumption, and scalability. Compared with previous search algorithms such as the food algorithm and the random walk algorithm, in the CITN, the HBD algorithm can greatly reduce the search time and the network resource consumption, and increase the success rate and matching degree.","PeriodicalId":241191,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Crowd Science and Engineering","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123597297","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}

EHRs has some characteristics such as temporality, sparsity, complexity, irregularity, noisiness and so on, which bring many challenges to direct study the medical data. Thus, an effective feature extraction, or phenotyping from patient EHRs is a key step before any further applications. In this paper, MIMIC-III intensive care database is selected for the experiments. To predict the patient's death outcome (namely death due to illness or still alive), we make full use of the visit records of patients and propose a prediction method that combines the medical concept representation model Med2Vec with random forest algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is robust to parameter variations and noise. Besides, compared with other prediction methods, the performance metrics of the proposed method are very well. Finally, the effect of the Med2Vec model is superior to that obtained by raw data (i.e., no feature learning applied to EHRs data).","PeriodicalId":241191,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Crowd Science and Engineering","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129718697","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}

The latest research of transaction credit of e-commerce system proposes two kinds of credit, which is direct credit and recommends, and accordingly constructs a model for the transaction network based on crowd intelligence. However, whether the transaction credit model is efficient and orderly or not depends not only on the model itself, but also on the transaction credit managing mechanism. Therefore, this paper carries out in-depth research on the transaction credit managing mechanism based on characteristics of the crowd intelligence-based transaction network, and proposes the method of \"buyer + circle of friends\" for transaction credit data storing and updating, and builds a credit data searching method based on the combination of breadth and depth search algorithm. The \"buyer +circle of friends\" method not only can make full use of the computing and storing ability of the internet, but also can solve the problem of single node failure. The algorithm optimizes the forwarding strategy of the query request. In addition, the simulation results show that the algorithm can acquire more target resources faster and can effectively reduce the amount of redundant messages in the network.","PeriodicalId":241191,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Crowd Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128355269","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}

According to WHO's latest World malaria report, an estimated malaria death of 435,000 occurs from 2015 to 2017. Microscopy examination, including stained thin and thick blood smears, is the gold standard for malaria diagnosis. Thick blood smears are used to detect the presence of malaria parasites, and thin blood smears are used to differentiate parasite species. Microscopy examination is of low cost and but is time-consuming and error-prone. Therefore, automatic parasite detection with high accuracy is of important clinical values. To this end, this paper proposes an automatic parasite detection algorithm based on Faster R-CNN, which can automatically detect small objects of malaria parasites. Based on public dataset, we compare our method with ERT and CNN in detection precision.
