Abstract: Knowledge tracing is an important research topic in student modeling. The aim is to model a student’s knowledge state by mining a large number of exercise records. The dynamic key-value ...

Abstract: This paper provides an extensive and thorough overview of the models and techniques utilized in the first and second stages of the typical information retrieval processing chain. Our ...

Abstract: Objective methods for assessing perceptual image quality traditionally attempted to quantify the visibility of errors (differences) between a distorted image and a reference image using a ...

In this paper, we propose a simple but effective image prior-dark channel prior to remove haze from a single input image. The dark channel prior is a kind of statistics of outdoor haze-free images. It ...

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is probably the most widely used estimation algorithm for nonlinear systems. However, more than 35 years of experience in the estimation community has shown that is ...

Abstract: Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of lithium-ion batteries can assess the battery reliability to determine the advent of failure and mitigate battery risk. The existing RUL prediction ...

Two machine-learning procedures have been investigated in some detail using the game of checkers. Enough work has been done to verify the fact that a computer can be programmed so that it will learn ...

Abstract: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are extremely energy consuming, accounting for 40% of total building energy consumption. It is crucial to design some energy-efficient ...

In 1955, a phenomenological theory of ferromagnetism was well established and had been corroborated by a considerable amount of experimental data. However, there were problems in the phenomenological ...

The output of an array of sansors is considered to be a homogeneous random field. In this case there is a spectral representation for this field, similar to that for stationary random processes, which ...

Abstract: A novel fault tolerant attitude tracking control scheme is developed for flexible spacecraft with partial loss of actuator effectiveness fault. Neural networks are first introduced to ...

Abstract: This work proposes (1) an auto-forming (AF) scheme to shorten the macro forming time (TFM−M) and testing costs; (2) an auto-RESET (ARST) scheme to shorten page-RESET time (TW−PAGE−RST) for ...
