However, the imprudent layout of FBSs results in extensive energy consumption and increased signal interference among base stations. Regulating the transmission power of each base station in the HetNets through the main controller or MBS is essential to maximize the power efficiency of the entire HetNets while adhering to the constraints of basic signal throughput and fairness. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an Adaptive Acceleration Particle Swarm Optimization (AA-PSO) algorithm. This algorithm dynamically determines the inertia weight based on each particle's optimal position and the global optimal position, and introduces the concept of time-varying parameters to control the learning rate, thus managing the search range and convergence speed of the particle swarm. The results demonstrate that the AA-PSO algorithm can efficiently determine the optimal transmission power of each base station in the HetNets, reduce interference between MBS and FBSs, as well as among FBSs, and ultimately improve the service efficacy of the entire network.","PeriodicalId":32381,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Crowd Science","volume":"8 4","pages":"168-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10681262","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142235873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we propose an effective data mining approach that combines Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for two-stage feature dimensionality reduction, resulting in a refined dataset. To enhance the model's capacity to capture medium- and long-term index trends, we implement a sliding time window approach, utilizing data from the preceding 60 trading days. Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models are employed to predict the return rate of Securities Bank of China (399986) over a 30-day trading period. We conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis involving our proposed model and established methods, namely, LASSO, PCA, and Hybrid Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Our empirical findings unequivocally demonstrate the superior performance of our model in terms of both prediction accuracy and stability. Specifically, our model exhibits significantly higher predictive accuracy when forecasting the return rate of Securities Bank of China (399986) over a 30-day trading period, all while maintaining enhanced stability. These results underscore the exceptional efficacy of our approach within the realm of financial market time series forecasting, thus providing robust support for further research and practical applications within this domain.","PeriodicalId":32381,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Crowd Science","volume":"8 4","pages":"176-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10681264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142235874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The support vector machine (SVM) classifier is trained separately based on each class of features, and subsequently, a fourth SVM classifier is trained on the prediction results of the three SVM classifiers at the first layer. To obtain more realistic results and better comparisons with previous studies, the algorithm follows the ANSI/AAMI EC57:2012 standard and is tested on a real ECG database.

Previous studies have suggested that the general public can recognize fake news, showing the feasibility of applying crowd ratings to identify fake news. However, the effectiveness of crowd ratings for curbing the dissemination of fake news is uncertain. This study constructed an online experimental platform to simulate Sina Microblog and designed a crowd rating strategy to compare and validate the difference between the absence vs. the presence of crowd ratings, and crowd ratings vs. expert ratings, in curbing the dissemination of fake news. We found that the presence of crowd ratings inhibited users' dissemination of fake news compared to the absence of crowd ratings. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the suppression effects of crowd ratings and expert ratings, both of which were effective in curbing the dissemination of fake news. Crowd rating uses collective intelligence to intervene in users' perceptions and behaviors at the onset of fake news dissemination, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution to combat the spread of fake news on social media.","PeriodicalId":32381,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Crowd Science","volume":"8 3","pages":"110-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10638683","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing methods for measuring metro service efficacy often overlook metro network connectivity and rely heavily on subjective questionnaire data analysis from the user experience perspective. This paper proposes a method to measure metro network service efficacy from the user's perspective. The approach first calculates the connectivity index of metro network and estimates the housing premium brought by metro network connectivity, which reveals users' willingness to pay for metro network connectivity. This method objectively measures metro network service efficacy from the user's perspective. Based on this, efficacy optimization methods are proposed, providing quantitative simulation methods for metro expansion, site selection, operation quality adjustments, etc., which are of great reference value to metro management departments and even urban sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":32381,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Crowd Science","volume":"8 3","pages":"149-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10638682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More labeled resources, better word representations. However, most low-resource languages do not have such an abundance of labeled data as high-resource English, leading to poor performance of NER in these low-resource languages due to poor word representations. In the paper, we propose converse attention network (CAN) to augment word representations in low-resource languages from the high-resource language, improving the performance of NER in low-resource languages by transferring knowledge learned in the high-resource language. CAN first translates sentences in low-resource languages into high-resource English using an attention-based translation module. In the process of translation, CAN obtains the attention matrices that align word representations of high-resource language space and low-resource language space. Furthermore, CAN augments word representations learned in low-resource language space with word representations learned in high-resource language space using the attention matrices. Experiments on four low-resource NER datasets show that CAN achieves consistent and significant performance improvements, which indicates the effectiveness of CAN.","PeriodicalId":32381,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Crowd Science","volume":"8 3","pages":"140-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10638678","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fleet of ECVs is heterogeneous, and ECVs have separated compartments, namely, they have different capacities for each type of waste. Each ECV is allowed to deliver multiple times and can be recharged more than once in public recharging stations during its route. A mathematical model is proposed for the heterogeneous electric vehicle routing problem with multiple compartments, multiple trips, and time windows (HEVRP-MCMT). The objective of the problem is to minimize the vehicle fixed cost and variable energy consumption cost. A hybrid ant colony optimization (ACO) with variable neighborhood search (VNS) is developed and applied to a number of problem instances and a real-life instance. Numerical results show that, for small-scale problem instances, our approach finds better or the same optimal solutions in a significantly shorter computational time than CPLEX; for large-scale problem instances, our approach outperforms two meta-heuristics.
