As a consequence, this kind of information is used by these social networks to provide their users with recommendations about new products or friends. Moreover, recommendation systems (RS) become capable to predict a person's activity with no special infrastructure or hardware, such as RFID tags, or by using video and audio. In that sense, we propose a technique to provide personalised points-of-interest (POIs) recommendations for users of location-based social networks (LBSNs). Our technique assumes users' preferences can be characterised by their visited locations, which is shared by them on LBSN, collaboratively exposing important features as, for instance, areas-of-interest (AOIs) and POIs popularity. Therefore, our technique, named fuzzy areas-based collaborative filtering, uses users' activities to model their preferences and recommend the next visits to them. We have performed experiments over two real LBSN datasets and the obtained results have shown our technique outperforms location collaborative filtering at almost all of the experimental evaluation. Therefore, by fuzzy clustering of AOIs, FACF is suitable to check the popularity of POIs to improve POIs recommendation.","PeriodicalId":340410,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Sci.

Although, the existing compression methods have pruned the deep models effectively, some issues exist in those methods, such as multiple iterations needed in fine-tuning phase, difficulty in pruning granularity control and numerous hyperparameters needed to set. In this paper, we propose an active stepwise pruning method of a logarithmic function which only needs to set three hyperparameters and a few epochs. We also propose a recovery strategy to repair the incorrect pruning thus ensuring the prediction accuracy of model. Pruning and repairing alternately constitute cyclic process along with updating the weights in layers. Our method can prune the parameters of MobileNet, AlexNet, VGG-16 and ZFNet by a factor of 5.6×, 11.7×, 16.6× and 15× respectively without any accuracy loss, which precedes the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":340410,"journal":{"name":"Int.

A new subset of SAWs, called foldable SAWs, has recently been discovered when investigating two different SAW manipulations embedded within existing protein structure prediction (PSP) software. Since then, several attempts have been made to find out more about these walks, including counting them. However, calculating the number of foldable SAWs appeared as a tough work, and current supercomputers fail to count foldable SAWs of length exceeding ≈ 30 steps. In this article, we present new progress in this enumeration, both theoretical (mathematics) and practical (computer science). A lower bound for the number of foldable SAWs is firstly proposed, by studying a special subset called prudent SAWs that is better known. The triangular and hexagonal lattices are then investigated for the first time, leading to new results about the enumeration of foldable SAWs on such lattices. Finally, a parallel genetic algorithm has been designed to discover new non-foldable SAWs of lengths ≈ 100 steps, and the results obtained with this algorithm are promising.","PeriodicalId":340410,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In wireless sensor networks, cooperative MIMO technology has become a research hotspot in recent years. The appropriate cooperative nodes can transmit data efficiently. Meanwhile, energy harvesting pays attention to the transmission process of network also. This paper presents the selection of cooperative nodes and cluster nodes, which offers energy balance. The node is not only the transmitter of information, but also the transmitter of energy. In addition, the paper also focuses on how to obtain the optimal energy efficiency with proposed resource allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that when cluster nodes and the cooperative nodes are more balanced, the selection algorithm realises the energy balance. The energy efficiency increases rapidly with the amount of transmitted power, and tends to be stable when it reaches 3 dBm. The cooperative MIMO technology is adopted to obtain higher network utility.","PeriodicalId":340410,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Sci.
