Abstract With the development of cities and the prevalence of networks, interpersonal relationships have become increasingly distant. When people crave communication, they hope to find someone to confide in. With the rapid advancement of deep learning and big data technologies, an enabling environment has been established for the development of intelligent chatbot systems. By effectively combining cutting-edge technologies with human-centered design principles, chatbots hold the potential to revolutionize our lives and alleviate feelings of loneliness. A multi-topic chat companion robot based on a state machine has been proposed, which can engage in fluent dialogue with humans… More >

Abstract YouTube videos on sustainable fashion enable the public to gain basic knowledge about this concept. In this paper, we analyse user comments on YouTube videos that contain sustainable fashion content. The paper’s main objective is to help content creators and business managers effectively understand the perspectives of viewers, thus improving video quality and developing business. We analysed a dataset of 17,357 comments collected from 15 sustainable fashion YouTube videos. First, we use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modelling technique, to discover the abstract topics. In addition, we use two approaches to rank these topics: More >

Abstract The issue of finding available parking spaces and mitigating congestion during parking is a persistent challenge for numerous car owners in urban areas. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on the A-star algorithm to calculate the optimal parking path to address this issue. We integrate a road impedance function into the conventional A-star algorithm to compute path duration and adopt a fusion function composed of path length and duration as the weight matrix for the A-star algorithm to achieve optimal path planning. Furthermore, we conduct simulations using parking lot modeling to validate More >

Abstract Secret image sharing (SIS) is a significant research topic of image information hiding, which divides the image into multiple shares and distributes them to multiple parties for management and preservation. In order to reconstruct the original image, a subset with predetermined number of shares is needed. And just because it is not necessary to use all of the shares to make a reconstruction, SIS creates a high which breaks the limitations of traditional image protection methods, but at the same time, it causes a reduce of safety. Recently, new technologies, such as deep learning and More >

Abstract As a result of the introduction of new infectious illnesses, key infection prevention measures were implemented. Now, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic has expanded swiftly, causing the coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19). Many microorganisms spread illness via hospital surfaces due to environmental pollution. This virus has been associated to close contact between persons in tight situations such as houses, hospitals, assisted living, and residential institutions. Aside from health care settings, public buildings, faith-based community centers, marketplaces, transportation, and corporate environments are prone to COVID-19 transmission. Physical contact to the sanitizer device may cause for spread Covid More >

Abstract Person re-identification (ReID) is a sub-problem under image retrieval. It is a technology that uses computer vision to identify a specific pedestrian in a collection of pictures or videos. The pedestrian image under cross-device is taken from a monitored pedestrian image. At present, most ReID methods deal with the matching between visible and visible images, but with the continuous improvement of security monitoring system, more and more infrared cameras are used to monitor at night or in dim light. Due to the image differences between infrared camera and RGB camera, there is a huge visual More >

Abstract Campus network provides a critical stage to student service and campus administration, which assumes a paramount part in the strategy of ‘Rejuvenating the Country through Science and Education’ and ‘Revitalizing China through Talented Persons’. However, with the rapid development and continuous expansion of campus network, network security needs to be an essential issue that could not be overlooked in campus network construction. In order to ensure the normal operation of various functions of the campus network, the security risk level of the campus network is supposed to be controlled within a reasonable range at any More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a intrusion detection algorithm based on auto-encoder and three-way decisions (AE-3WD) for industrial control networks, aiming at the security problem of industrial control network. The ideology of deep learning is similar to the idea of intrusion detection. Deep learning is a kind of intelligent algorithm and has the ability of automatically learning. It uses self-learning to enhance the experience and dynamic classification capabilities. We use deep learning to improve the intrusion detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate through learning, a denoising AutoEncoder and three-way decisions intrusion detection method More >
