We develop a new method to solve linguistic MADM with incomplete weight. In order to get the weight vector of the attribute, we establish an optimization model based on the basic ideal of traditional TOPSIS, by which the attribute weights can be determined. Based on this model, we develop a TOPSIS method to rank alternatives and to select the most desirable one(s). Finally, an example is shown to highlight the procedure of the proposed algorithm at the end of this paper.","PeriodicalId":360193,"journal":{"name":"J. Convergence Inf.

Little work has been done toward an integrated statistical model for understanding both named entities and their relationships. Most of the previous works on relation extraction assume the named entities are pre-given. The drawbacks of these sequential models are that the results of relation extraction cannot be used to guide the named entity recognition, which have been proven useful. This paper proposed a novel integrate framework called EntSum, which enables bidirectional integration of named entity recognition and relation extraction using iterative optimization. Experiments on a one million large real Web data set show that EntSum achieves much better performance on both tasks than sequential methods.","PeriodicalId":360193,"journal":{"name":"J.

But the algorithm has disadvantage that the target bit allocation in the frame layer is uniform according to the buffer residual bits. This paper presents a new method which uses a content complexity quotiety of frame for allocating target bits in the frame layer more accurately. The content complexity quotiety is the combination of the average difference of gray histogram and mean absolute difference (MAD) ratio in the frame. Experimental results show that the bit rate maximum error of tested sequences in this algorithm is 1.38 percent and their average peak signal noise ratio (PSNR) is improved by 0.38 dB on average compared to the original JVT-G012 algorithm. Therefore, the proposed rate control algorithm can not only more accurately control bit rate, but also improve PSNR of video sequences. The video image quality is better and smoother.","PeriodicalId":360193,"journal":{"name":"J. Convergence Inf.

Following this model, the algorithm of cost-sensitive supported vector learning to rank is investigated. In experiment, the standard Ranking SVM is used as baseline.

On the other hand, distance maintaining scheme permits the algorithm to fine tune its solutions.

These targets could be divided into 4 groups, which related to germ cell development, immunity function, apoptosis and other cell function genes, respectively. The roles of these targets inhibition on virus infection were issued and the link of these suppressions to clinical syndrome was discussed. In conclusion, the results showed microRNAs were exploited by PRRSV to escape host anti-virus surveillance and help virus infection, and the consequences of individual target suppression were related closely to clinical syndromes.

The calculation proceeded as follows: firstly, the PIF-LPC algorithm was used to evaluate the formant parameters of whispered speech (PIF-LPC is an improved LPC algorithm. In PIF-LPC, pole interaction factors are used to correct the formant bandwidth of residual poles, to reduce the effect of pole intersection and to improve the accuracy of formant parameters); then, the extracted formant parameters as dynamic target orientation were introduced in HDM and compared with the actual observation results for realtime adjustment of the weight of dynamic target orientation; finally, HDM was solved through auxiliary particle filtering (APF), so as to realize the tracking of the formant trajectory of whispered speech. It was shown in the experimental results that the interferences of spurious peaks and merged peaks were avoided when the formant trajectory of continuous whispered speech was tracked by this method.","PeriodicalId":360193,"journal":{"name":"J.
