On Insiders (Emic) and Outsiders (Etic): Views of Self,and Othering

“Insiders” and “outsiders” to social issues is a concept that is an integral part of Participatory Action Research, which emphasizes the partnering and working together with people who are closest to the problem by dint of personal experience and identity, in order to address complex social problems. The writer believes that working with “insiders” in regard to social issues is a powerful concept but not as simple as it might at first seem to be. This paper explores the problems associated with accepting the concept wholeheartedly by using a real-life example of a community issue to explore it.     

基于网页语义相似性的商品隐性评分算法

目前电子商务推荐系统中存在客户评分稀疏性问题,隐性评分是解决该问题的有效方法,但现有方法只考虑客户对单个网页的兴趣度.客户浏览行为和网页之间语义相似度可以综合客观反映客户对商品隐性的评分.建立网页商品概念-属性矩阵CA(Goods Concept-Attribute Matrix),综合考虑商品属性、相关商品及其在网页中的分布等因素,基于客户浏览路径和时间的统计分析,通过语义词林WordNet计算网页语义相似度,综合计算商品语义隐性评分.通过算例和实证研究说明该算法的有效性.     

一种基于相似度判据的K近邻分类器的车牌字符识别方法

针对K近邻方法分类准确率较高的特性,提出了一种基于相似度判据的K近邻分类器车牌字符识别方法.通过大量实验,选取字符的网格特征和轮廓特征作为分类依据,用特征融合方法将两种特征合并,实现特征的串行融合.根据相似度判据作K近邻分类,实现了一个车牌字符识别系统.实验表明,这种方法具有良好的识别效果,鲁棒性强,具有较大的实用价值.

基于梯度的结构相似度的图像质量评价方法

虽然基于结构信息的图像质量评价方法——结构相似度（SSIM）模型结构简单、评价性能优于峰值信噪比（PSNR）或均方误差（MSE）模型，但SSIM模型不能较好地评价严重模糊的降质图像．文中提出了一种基于梯度的结构相似度（GSSIM）图像质量评价方法，该方法将梯度作为图像的主要结构信息．实验结果表明，GSSIM模型比SSIM和PSNR（MSE）模型更符合人眼视觉系统特性，能较好地评价模糊图像的质量．

Design and Implementation of FAQ Automatic Return System Based on Similarity Computation

FAQ （frequently asked question） is widely used on the Internet, but most FAQ＇s asking and answering are not automatic. This paper introduces the design and imple mentation of a FAQ automatic return system based on semantic similarity computation, including computation model choo sing, FAQ characters analyzing, FAQ data formal expressing, feature vector indexing, and weight computing and so on. According to FAQ features of sentence length short, two mapping, strong domain characteristics etc. Vector Space Model with special semantic process was selected in system, and corresponding algorithm of similarity computation was proposed too. Experiment shows that the system has a good performance for high frequent and common questions.     

Selections of data preprocessing methods and similarity metrics for gene cluster analysis

Clustering is one of the major exploratory techniques for gene expression data analysis. Only with suitable similarity metrics and when datasets are properly preprocessed, can results of high quality be obtained in cluster analysis. In this study, gene expression datasets with external evaluation criteria were preprocessed as normalization by line, normalization by column or logarithm transformation by base-2, and were subsequently clustered by hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering and self-organizing maps (SOMs) with Pearson correlation coefficient or Euclidean distance as similarity metric. Finally, the quality of clusters was evaluated by adjusted Rand index. The results illustrate that k-means clustering and SOMs have distinct advantages over hierarchical clustering in gene clustering, and SOMs are a bit better than k-means when randomly initialized. It also shows that hierarchical clustering prefers Pearson correlation coefficient as similarity metric and dataset normalized by line. Meanwhile, k-means clustering and SOMs can produce better clusters with Euclidean distance and logarithm transformed datasets. These results will afford valuable reference to the implementation of gene expression cluster analysis.
