Research shows that recommendations comprise a valuable service for users of a digital library. We proposed a hybrid document recommender system based on random walk. It builds correlation network among users based on the conditional probability in order to solve the sparsity of collaborative filtering. On the other hand, it computes the rating of source user for target item not only based on the neighborhoods’ ratings for target item but also based on the neighborhoods’ ratings for item which is most similar to target item. This can solve the cold start problem of recommender systems. We performed an evaluation on the dataset of National Science and Technology Library. Experimental results illustrate the superiority of the proposed method.
Data mining discovers knowledge and useful information from large amounts of data stored in databases. With the increasing popularity of object-oriented database system in advanced database applications, it is significantly important to study the data mining methods for object-oriented database. This paper proposes that higher-order logic programming languages and techniques is very suitable for object-oriented data mining, and presents a framework for object-oriented data mining based on higher-order logic programming. Such a framework is inductive logic programming which adopts higher-order logic programming language Escher as knowledge representation formalism. In addition, Escher is a generalization of the attribute-value representation, thus many higher-order logic learners under this framework can be upgraded directly from corresponding propositional learners.
An image adaptive watermarking algorithm based on ridgelet transform and two- dimensional(2-D) fuzzy partition classification is proposed. In order to obtain a sparse representation of straight edge singularity, the image is first partitioned into small pieces and the ridgelet transform is applied for each piece. After analyzing texture distribution in ridgelet coefficients of each piece, two feature vectors are selected to make up for the ‘wrap around’ effect for FRIT on representation of the image texture. Then the image is classifed into frat regions and texture regions by applying 2-D fuzzy partition classification algorithm with the two feature vectors prepocessed. An watermark sequence is embedded into texture regions with the embedding strength adaptively adjusted by ridgelet coefficients based on the feature of luminance masking and texture masking. Experimental results prove robustness and transparency of the proposed watermarking scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
