Abstract:A country-wide `lock-down' imposed on the 23red March 2020 in the UK had a significant impact on the UK's anthropogenic movements. The closure of work-places and restrictions imposed on visiting friends and family has radically reduced the amount of traffic on the roads. In this short communication, we use data from UK air-quality sensors to quantify air pollution trends pre- and post-lock-down. While we detect large falls in nitrogen dioxide at levels not seen over the last decade, trends in other pollutants were mixed especially when compared to historical data. It suggests that the implication that lock-down was beneficial for the environment was not so obvious.
摘要:2020年3月23日,英国实施了全国范围的“封锁” ,对英国的人为活动产生了重大影响。工作场所的关闭以及对探望朋友和家人的限制大大减少了道路上的交通量。在这个简短的交流中,我们使用来自英国空气质量传感器的数据来量化封锁前后的空气污染趋势。虽然我们检测到二氧化氮的水平大幅下降,但是其他污染物的趋势却好坏参半,尤其是与历史数据相比。这表明,封锁有利于环境的含义并不是那么明显。

Abstract:Since the first alert launched by the World Health Organization (5 January, 2020), COVID-19 has been spreading out to over 180 countries and territories. As of June 18, 2020, in total, there are now over 8,400,000 cases and over 450,000 related deaths. This causes massive losses in the economy and jobs globally and confining about 58% of the global population. In this paper, we introduce SenWave, a novel sentimental analysis work using 105+ million collected tweets and Weibo messages to evaluate the global rise and falls of sentiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. To make a fine-grained analysis on the feeling when we face this global health crisis, we annotate 10K tweets in English and 10K tweets in Arabic in 10 categories, including optimistic, thankful, empathetic, pessimistic, anxious, sad, annoyed, denial, official report, and joking. We then utilize an integrated transformer framework, called simpletransformer, to conduct multi-label sentimental classification by fine-tuning the pre-trained language model on the labeled data. Meanwhile, in order for a more complete analysis, we also translate the annotated English tweets into different languages (Spanish, Italian, and French) to generated training data for building sentiment analysis models for these languages. SenWave thus reveals the sentiment of global conversation in six different languages on COVID-19 (covering English, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic and Chinese), followed the spread of the epidemic. The conversation showed a remarkably similar pattern of rapid rise and slow decline over time across all nations, as well as on special topics like the herd immunity strategies, to which the global conversation reacts strongly negatively. Overall, SenWave shows that optimistic and positive sentiments increased over time, foretelling a desire to seek, together, a reset for an improved COVID-19 world.
摘要:自从世界卫生组织发布第一个预警(2020年1月5日)以来,新型冠状病毒肺炎已经向180多个国家和地区传播。截至2020年6月18日,总共有超过8,400,000个病例和超过450,000个相关死亡。这导致全球经济和就业机会大量减少,限制了全球约58% 的人口。在本文中,我们介绍 SenWave,一个新颖的情感分析工作,使用收集的1.05亿条推特和微博信息来评估全球在新型冠状病毒肺炎流感大流行期间情感的兴衰。为了对我们面对这场全球健康危机时的感受进行细致的分析,我们将10K 条推文用英语注释,10K 条推文用阿拉伯语注释,分为10个类别,包括乐观、感恩、同情、悲观、焦虑、悲伤、烦恼、否认、官方报告和开玩笑。然后,我们利用一个集成的变换器框架,称为简单变换器,进行多标签情感分类,通过微调前训练语言模型的标记数据。与此同时,为了进行更全面的分析,我们还将带注释的英文 tweets 翻译成不同的语言(西班牙语、意大利语和法语) ,以生成用于构建这些语言的情感分析模型的培训数据。因此,SenWave 揭示了流行病传播之后,全球对话在新型冠状病毒肺炎上以6种不同语言(包括英语、西班牙语、法语、意大利语、阿拉伯语和中文)进行的情绪。随着时间的推移,在所有国家,以及在诸如群体免疫策略这样的特殊话题上,全球对话都会产生强烈的负面反应,这种对话显示出一种非常相似的快速上升和缓慢下降的模式。总的来说,SenWave 显示乐观和积极的情绪随着时间的推移而增长,预示着一种共同寻求改善新型冠状病毒肺炎世界的愿望。

Abstract:When trying to maximize the adoption of a behavior in a population connected by a social network, it is common to strategize about where in the network to seed the behavior, often with an element of randomness. Selecting seeds uniformly at random is a basic but compelling strategy in that it distributes seeds broadly throughout the network. A more sophisticated stochastic strategy, one-hop targeting, is to select random network neighbors of random individuals; this exploits a version of the friendship paradox, whereby the friend of a random individual is expected to have more friends than a random individual, with the hope that seeding a behavior at more connected individuals leads to more adoption. Many seeding strategies have been proposed, but empirical evaluations have demanded large field experiments designed specifically for this purpose and have yielded relatively imprecise comparisons of strategies. Here we show how stochastic seeding strategies can be evaluated more efficiently in such experiments, how they can be evaluated "off-policy" using existing data arising from experiments designed for other purposes, and how to design more efficient experiments. In particular, we consider contrasts between stochastic seeding strategies and analyze nonparametric estimators adapted from policy evaluation and importance sampling. We use simulations on real networks to show that the proposed estimators and designs can increase precision while yielding valid inference. We then apply our proposed estimators to two field experiments, one that assigned households to an intensive marketing intervention and one that assigned students to an anti-bullying intervention.
摘要:当试图最大化一个行为在社会网络连接的人群中的采用时,通常需要制定策略,在网络中的什么地方种子行为,通常带有随机性元素。统一地随机选择种子是一种基本但强制性的策略,因为它在整个网络中广泛地分布种子。一个更复杂的随机策略,一跳定位,是选择随机个体的随机网络邻居; 这利用了友谊悖论的一个版本,即一个随机个体的朋友被期望拥有比一个随机个体更多的朋友,希望在联系更多的个体身上种下一种行为会导致更多的被收养。已经提出了许多种子战略,但经验性评价要求专门为此目的进行大规模实地试验,并得出了相对不精确的战略比较。在这里,我们展示了如何在此类实验中更有效地评估随机播种策略,如何利用为其他目的设计的实验中产生的现有数据来评估”非政策”策略,以及如何设计更有效的实验。特别地,我们考虑了随机播种策略之间的对比,并分析了适用于政策评估和重要性抽样的非参数估计。在实际网络上的仿真结果表明,所提出的估计器和设计方法能够在提高精度的同时产生有效的推理。然后,我们将我们提出的估计应用于两个实地实验,一个是指定家庭进行强化营销干预,另一个是指定学生进行反欺凌干预。

Abstract:Many real-world systems involve higher-order interactions and thus demand complex models such as hypergraphs. For instance, a research article could have multiple collaborating authors, and therefore the co-authorship network is best represented as a hypergraph. In this work, we focus on the problem of hyperedge prediction. This problem has immense applications in multiple domains, such as predicting new collaborations in social networks, discovering new chemical reactions in metabolic networks, etc. Despite having significant importance, the problem of hyperedge prediction hasn't received adequate attention, mainly because of its inherent complexity. In a graph with n nodes the number of potential edges is

Abstract:To track online emotional expressions of the Austrian population close to real-time during the COVID-19 pandemic, we build a self-updating monitor of emotion dynamics using digital traces from three different data sources. This enables decision makers and the interested public to assess issues such as the attitude towards counter-measures taken during the pandemic and the possible emergence of a (mental) health crisis early on. We use web scraping and API access to retrieve data from the news platform derstandard.at, Twitter and a chat platform for students. We document the technical details of our workflow in order to provide materials for other researchers interested in building a similar tool for different contexts. Automated text analysis allows us to highlight changes of language use during COVID-19 in comparison to a neutral baseline. We use special word clouds to visualize that overall difference. Longitudinally, our time series show spikes in anxiety that can be linked to several events and media reporting. Additionally, we find a marked decrease in anger. The changes last for remarkably long periods of time (up to 12 weeks). We discuss these and more patterns and connect them to the emergence of collective emotions. The interactive dashboard showcasing our data is available online under http://www.mpellert.at/covid19_monitor_austria/. Our work has attracted media attention and is part of an web archive of resources on COVID-19 collected by the Austrian National Library.

Abstract:Representing data residing on a graph as a linear combination of building block signals can enable efficient and insightful visual or statistical analysis of the data, and such representations prove useful as regularizers in signal processing and machine learning tasks. Designing such collections of building block signals -- or more formally, dictionaries of atoms -- that specifically account for the underlying graph structure as well as any available representative training signals has been an active area of research over the last decade. In this article, we survey a particular class of dictionaries called localized spectral graph filter frames, whose atoms are created by localizing spectral patterns to different regions of the graph. After showing how this class encompasses a variety of approaches from spectral graph wavelets to graph filter banks, we focus on the two main questions of how to design the spectral filters and how to select the center vertices to which the patterns are localized. Throughout, we emphasize computationally efficient methods that ensure the resulting transforms and their inverses can be applied to data residing on large, sparse graphs. We demonstrate how this class of transform methods can be used in signal processing tasks such as denoising and non-linear approximation, and provide code for readers to experiment with these methods in new application domains.

Abstract:Digital traces are often used as a substitute for survey data. However, it is unclear whether and how digital traces actually correspond to the survey-based traits they purport to measure. This paper examines correlations between self-reports and digital trace proxies of depression, anxiety, mood, social integration and sleep among high school students. The study is based on a small but rich multilayer data set (N = 144). The data set contains mood and sleep measures, assessed daily over a 4-month period, along with survey measures at two points in time and information about online activity from VK, the most popular social networking site in Russia. Our analysis indicates that 1) the sentiments expressed in social media posts are correlated with depression; namely, adolescents with more severe symptoms of depression write more negative posts, 2) late-night posting indicates less sleep and poorer sleep quality, and 3) students who were nominated less often as somebody's friend in the survey have fewer friends on VK and their posts receive fewer "likes." However, these correlations are generally weak. These results demonstrate that digital traces can serve as useful supplements to, rather than substitutes for, survey data in studies on adolescents' well-being. These estimates of correlations between survey and digital trace data could provide useful guidelines for future research on the topic.
摘要:数字痕迹经常被用作调查数据的替代品。然而,目前还不清楚数字痕迹是否以及如何与他们声称要测量的基于调查的特征相对应。本文研究了高中生自我报告与抑郁、焦虑、情绪、社会整合和睡眠的数字痕迹代理之间的相关性。这项研究是基于一个小而丰富的多层数据集(n = 144)。这些数据包括情绪和睡眠测量数据,在4个月的时间里每天进行评估,同时还包括两个时间点的调查测量数据,以及俄罗斯最受欢迎的社交网站 VK 提供的有关在线活动的信息。我们的分析表明: 1)社交媒体帖子中表达的情绪与抑郁症有关; 也就是说,抑郁症症状更严重的青少年写的负面帖子更多; 2)深夜发帖意味着睡眠更少、睡眠质量更差; 3)在调查中被提名为朋友的学生在 VK 上的朋友更少,他们的帖子得到的“赞”也更少 然而,这些相关性普遍较弱。这些结果表明,在青少年幸福研究中,数字痕迹可以作为调查数据的有用补充,而不是替代。这些关于调查和数字痕迹数据之间相关性的估计可以为今后关于这一主题的研究提供有用的指导。

Abstract:The cornea provides the largest refractive power for the human visual system. Its stiffness, along with intraocular pressure (IOP), are linked to several pathologies, including keratoconus and glaucoma. Although mechanical tests can quantify corneal elasticity ex vivo, they cannot be used clinically. Optical coherence elastography (OCE), which launches and tracks shear waves to estimate stiffness, provides an attractive non-contact probe of corneal elasticity. To date, however, OCE studies report corneal moduli around tens of kPa, orders-of-magnitude less than those (few MPa) obtained by tensile/inflation testing. This large discrepancy impedes OCE's clinical adoption. Based on corneal microstructure, we introduce and fully characterize a nearly-incompressible transversally isotropic (NITI) model depicting corneal biomechanics. We show that the cornea must be described by two shear moduli, contrary to current single-modulus models, decoupling tensile and shear responses. We measure both as a function of IOP in ex vivo porcine cornea, obtaining values consistent with both tensile and shear tests. At pressures above 30 mmHg, the model begins to fail, consistent with non-linear changes in cornea at high IOP.
摘要:角膜为人类的视觉系统提供最大的屈光力。它的僵硬,伴随着眼压,与几种疾病有关,包括圆锥角膜和青光眼。机械性角膜弹性试验虽然可以量化体外角膜弹性,但不适用于临床。光学相干弹性成像(OCE)发射和跟踪剪切波,以估计刚度,提供了一个有吸引力的非接触探头的角膜弹性。然而,到目前为止,OCE 研究报告的角膜模量大约在几十千帕,数量级低于那些(几兆帕)通过拉伸 / 膨胀测试获得的。这种巨大的差异阻碍了 OCE 的临床应用。基于角膜的微观结构,我们介绍并完整描述了一个描述角膜生物力学的近不可压缩横观各向同性(NITI)模型。我们指出,角膜必须用两个剪切模量来描述,这与现有的单模量模型不同,它解耦了角膜的拉伸和剪切响应。我们在离体猪角膜上测量眼压的函数,得到与拉伸和剪切试验一致的数值。压力超过30毫米汞柱时,模型开始失效,这与高眼压时角膜的非线性变化一致。

Abstract:We present a minimally-invasive endoscope based on a multimode fiber that combines photoacoustic and fluorescence sensing. From the measurement of a transmission matrix during a prior calibration step, a focused spot is produced and raster-scanned over a sample at the distal tip of the fiber by use of a fast spatial light modulator. An ultra-sensitive fiber-optic ultrasound sensor for photoacoustic detection placed next to the fiber is combined with a photodetector to obtain both fluorescence and photoacoustic images with a distal imaging tip no larger than 250um. The high signal-to-noise ratio provided by wavefront shaping based focusing and the ultra-sensitive ultrasound sensor enables imaging with a single laser shot per pixel, demonstrating fast two-dimensional hybrid imaging of red blood cells and fluorescent beads.

Abstract:The dissociation of ligands from proteins and other biomacromolecules occurs over a wide range of timescales. For most pharmaceutically relevant inhibitors, these timescales are far beyond those that are accessible by conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Consequently, to explore ligand egress mechanisms and compute dissociation rates, it is necessary to enhance the sampling of ligand unbinding. Random Acceleration MD (RAMD) is a simple method to enhance ligand egress from a macromolecular binding site that does not require the user to choose a ligand egress reaction coordinate. It thus enables the unbiased exploration of ligand egress routes. Furthermore, the tauRAMD procedure can be used to compute the relative residence times of ligands. When combined with a machine-learning analysis of protein-ligand interaction fingerprints (IFP), molecular features that affect ligand unbinding kinetics can be identified. Here, we describe the implementation of RAMD in GROMACS 2020, which provides significantly improved computational performance, with scaling to large molecular systems. For the automated analysis of RAMD results, we developed MD-IFP, a set of tools for the generation of IFPs along unbinding trajectories and for their use in the exploration of ligand dynamics. We demonstrate that the analysis of ligand dissociation trajectories by mapping them onto the IFP space enables the characterization of ligand dissociation routes and metastable states. The combined implementation of RAMD and MD-IFP provides a computationally efficient and freely available workflow that can be applied to hundreds of compounds in a reasonable computational time and will facilitate the use of tauRAMD in drug design.
摘要:配体从蛋白质和其他生物大分子中分离出来的时间跨度很大。对于大多数与药物相关的抑制剂,这些时间尺度远远超过常规的分子动力学模拟所能达到的时间尺度。因此,为了探索配体离开机制和计算配体离解率,有必要加强配体非结合取样。随机加速 MD (RAMD)是一种简单的方法,可以增强配体从大分子结合位点的进出,而不需要用户选择配体进出反应坐标。因此,它能够不偏不倚地探索配体的出口路线。此外,还可用 tauRAMD 程序计算配体的相对停留时间。当结合蛋白质-配体相互作用指纹(IFP)的机器学习分析,分子特征影响配体非结合动力学可以被识别。在这里,我们描述了在 GROMACS 2020中 RAMD 的实现,它提供了显著改进的计算性能,并扩展到大分子系统。为了对 RAMD 结果进行自动分析,我们开发了 MD-IFP,这是一套工具,用于沿着非结合轨迹生成 IFPs,并用于研究配体动力学。我们证明,通过将配体分解轨迹映射到 IFP 空间,分析配体分解轨迹,可以得到配体分解路径和亚稳态的角色塑造。Ramd 和 MD-IFP 的联合实施提供了一种计算效率高、可免费获得的工作流程,可以在合理的计算时间内应用于数百种化合物,并将促进在药物设计中使用 tauRAMD。

Abstract:In the present paper we address the problem of the energy downconversion of the light absorbed by a protein into its internal vibrational modes. We consider the case in which the light receptors are fluorophores either naturally co-expressed with the protein or artificially covalently bound to some of its amino acids. In a recent work [Phys. Rev. X 8, 031061 (2018)], it has been experimentally found that by shining a laser light on the fluorophores attached to a protein the energy fed to it can be channeled into the normal mode of lowest frequency of vibration thus making the subunits of the protein coherently oscillate. Even if the phonon condensation phenomenon has been theoretically explained, the first step - the energy transfer from electronic excitation into phonon excitation - has been left open. The present work is aimed at filling this gap.

Abstract:Finding mechanisms to promote the use of face masks is fundamental during the second phase of the COVID-19 pandemic response, when shelter-in-place rules are relaxed and some segments of the population are allowed to circulate more freely. Here we report three pre-registered studies (total N = 1,920), using an heterogenous sample of people living in the USA, showing that priming people to "rely on their reasoning" rather than to "rely on their emotions" significantly increases their intentions to wear a face covering. Compared to the baseline, priming reasoning promotes intentions to wear a face covering, whereas priming emotion has no significant effect. These findings have theoretical and practical implications. Practically, they offer a simple and scalable intervention to promote intentions to wear a face mask. Theoretically, they shed light on the cognitive basis of intentions to wear a face covering.
摘要:在新型冠状病毒肺炎卫生组织大流行病应对的第二阶段,寻找促进口罩使用的机制是至关重要的,届时原地避难的规定将放宽,一些人口群体将被允许更自由地流动。在这里,我们报告了三个预先注册的研究(总数 n = 1920) ,使用了一个生活在美国的异质样本,显示启动人们“依靠他们的推理”而不是“依靠他们的情绪”显著地增加了他们的意图戴面罩。与基线相比,启动推理促进意向戴面罩,而启动情绪对意向戴面罩没有显著影响。这些发现具有理论和实践意义。实际上,他们提供了一个简单和可扩展的干预措施来促进戴口罩的意图。从理论上讲,他们揭示了戴面罩意图的认知基础。

Abstract:A computational methodology is introduced to minimize infection opportunities for people suffering some degree of lockdown in response to a pandemic, as is the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Persons use their mobile phone or computational device to request trips to places of their need or interest indicating a rough time of day: `morning', `afternoon', `night' or `any time' when they would like to undertake these outings as well as the desired place to visit. An artificial intelligence methodology which is a variant of Genetic Programming studies all requests and responds with specific time allocations for such visits that minimize the overall risks of infection, hospitalization and death of people. A number of alternatives for this computation are presented and results of numerical experiments involving over 230 people of various ages and background health levels in over 1700 visits that take place over three consecutive days. A novel partial infection model is introduced to discuss these proof of concept solutions which are compared to round robin uninformed time scheduling for visits to places. The computations indicate vast improvements with far fewer dead and hospitalized. These auger well for a more realistic study using accurate infection models with the view to test deployment in the real world. The input that drives the infection model is the degree of infection by taxonomic class, such as the information that may arise from population testing for COVID-19 or, alternatively, any contamination model. The taxonomy class assumed in the computations is the likely level of infection by age group.
摘要:引入了一种计算方法,以减少人们在应对大流行时遭受某种程度的封锁的感染机会,正如2020年新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行一样。人们使用移动电话或计算机设备要求前往他们需要或感兴趣的地方,表明一天中的艰苦时间: ”上午”、”下午”、”夜间”或”任何时间” ,当他们想要进行这些外出活动时,以及他们想要去的地方。人工智能方法是遗传规划的一种变体,它研究所有请求,并对这种访问作出具体时间分配,从而最大限度地减少人们感染、住院和死亡的总体风险。本文介绍了这一计算的若干备选方案,并介绍了连续三天超过1700次访问中涉及不同年龄和背景健康水平的230多人的数字实验结果。引入一个新的部分感染模型来讨论这些概念验证解决方案,并将其与访问地点的循环无消息时间安排进行比较。计算结果表明,随着死亡人数和住院人数的大幅减少,情况有了巨大的改善。这些螺旋井为一个更现实的研究使用准确的感染模型,以测试部署在现实世界的看法。驱动感染模型的输入是按分类等级划分的感染程度,例如可能产生于新型冠状病毒肺炎或任何污染模型的种群测试的信息。计算中假定的分类类别是按年龄组分列的可能感染程度。

Abstract:Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which is caused by SARS-COV2 has become a pandemic. This disease is highly infectious and potentially fatal, causing a global public health concern. To contain the spread of COVID-19, governments are adopting nationwide interventions, like lockdown, containment and quarantine, restrictions on travel, cancelling social events and extensive testing. To understand the effects of these measures on the control of the epidemic in a data-driven manner, we propose a probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) based modified SEIQR model. The transitions associated with the model is driven by data available on chronology, symptoms, pathogenesis and transmissivity of the virus. By arguing that the lattice-based model captures the features of the dynamics along with the existing fluctuations, we perform rigorous computational analyses of the model to take into account of the spatial dynamics of social distancing measures imposed on the people. Considering the probabilistic behavioural aspects associated with mitigation strategies, we study the model considering factors like population density and testing efficiency. Using the model, we focus on the variability of epidemic dynamics data for different countries and point out the reasons behind these contrasting observations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to model COVID-19 spread using PCA that gives us both spatial and temporal variations of the infection spread with the insight about the contributions of different infection parameters.
摘要:由 SARS-COV2引起的冠状病毒病(新型冠状病毒肺炎)已经成为一种流行病。这种疾病具有高度传染性,可能致命,引起全球公共卫生关注。为了遏制新型冠状病毒肺炎的蔓延,各国政府正在采取全国性的干预措施,如封锁、隔离和隔离、限制旅行、取消社会活动和广泛的检测。为了以数据驱动的方式理解这些措施对流行病控制的影响,我们提出了一种基于概率元胞自动机(PCA)的改进 SEIQR 模型。与该模型相关的转变是由关于病毒的年代学、症状、发病机制和传播率的数据驱动的。通过论证基于格子的模型捕获了动力学的特征以及存在的波动,我们对模型进行了严格的计算分析,以考虑强加在人们身上的社会距离措施的空间动力学。考虑到与减灾策略相关的概率行为方面,我们研究了考虑种群密度和测试效率等因素的模型。利用该模型,我们重点关注不同国家的流行病动态数据的可变性,并指出这些对比观察背后的原因。据我们所知,这是第一次尝试使用 PCA 模型来模拟新型冠状病毒肺炎传播,该模型通过洞察不同感染参数的作用,为我们提供了感染传播的时空变化p。

Abstract:Decisions about how the population of the United States should be divided into legislative districts have powerful and not fully understood effects on the outcomes of elections. The problem of understanding what we might mean by "fair districting" intertwines mathematical, political, and legal reasoning; but only in recent years has the academic mathematical community gotten directly involved in the process. I'll report on recent progress in this area, how newly developed mathematical tools have affected real political decisions, and what remains to be done. This survey represents the content of a lecture presented by the author in the Current Events Bulletin session of the Joint Mathematics Meetings in January 2020.

Abstract:I propose a smartphone app that will allow people to participate in the management of their own safety during an epidemic or pandemic such as COVID-19 by enabling them to view, in advance, the risks they would take if they visit some given venue (a cafe, the gym, the workplace, the park,...) and, furthermore, track the accumulation of such risks during the course of any given day or week. This idea can be presented to users of the app as counting points. One point represents some constant probability,

Abstract:Social media sites are now becoming very important platforms for product promotion or marketing campaigns. Therefore, there is broad interest in determining ways to guide a site to react more positively to a product with a limited budget. However, the practical significance of the existing studies on this subject is limited for two reasons. First, most studies have investigated the issue in oversimplified networks in which several important network characteristics are ignored. Second, the opinions of individuals are modeled as bipartite states(e.g., support or not) in numerous studies, however, this setting is too strict for many real scenarios. In this study, we focus on social trust networks(STNs), which have the significant characteristics ignored in the previous studies. We generalized a famed continuous-valued opinion dynamics model for STNs, which is more consistent with real scenarios. We subsequently formalized two novel problems for solving the issue in STNs. Moreover, we developed two matrix-based methods for these two problems and experiments on real-world datasets to demonstrate the practical utility of our methods.
摘要:社交媒体网站现在正成为产品推广或营销活动的重要平台。因此,有广泛的兴趣,确定如何指导网站反应更积极的产品与有限的预算。然而,由于两个方面的原因,现有研究的现实意义有限。首先,大多数研究都是在过分简化的网络中进行研究,忽略了一些重要的网络特征。其次,在许多研究中,个人的意见被建模为两部分的状态(例如,支持与否) ,然而,这种设置对于许多真实的场景来说过于严格。本研究以社会信任网络为研究对象,以往的研究忽略了其重要特征。我们推广了一个著名的连续值观点动力学模型,该模型更符合实际场景。随后,我们将两个新问题正式化,以解决在 stn 中的问题。此外,我们还针对这两个问题开发了两种基于矩阵的方法,并在实际数据集上进行了实验,以证明我们的方法的实用性。

Abstract:Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) has become an important scientific tool. Nonetheless, conventional high-resolution RIXS measurements (<100 meV), especially in the soft x-ray range, require large and low-throughput grating spectrometers that limits measurement accuracy and simplicity. Here, we computationally investigate the performance of a different method for measuring RIXS, Photoelectron Spectrometry for Analysis of X-rays (PAX). This method transforms the X-ray measurement problem of RIXS to an electron measurement problem, enabling use of compact, high-throughput electron spectrometers. In PAX, X-rays to be measured are incident on a converter material and the energy distribution of the resultant photoelectrons, the PAX spectrum, is measured with an electron spectrometer. The incident X-ray spectrum is then estimated through a deconvolution algorithm that leverages concepts from machine learning. We investigate a few example PAX cases.
