Threshold signatures are fundamental tools for multi-party information security protocols.It is widely used in fields such as identity authentication,anti-counterfeiting and tamper-resistance.We introduce a new decentralized threshold signature protocol BHTSP which combines distributed key generation (DKG) and BLS signature.The protocol allows multi-party participation and generates a signature of constant size.We implement this protocol with smart contract as the communication layer for secure parameter exchange.Experimental simulation results show that BHTSP can generate threshold signature with constant size.It reduced the memory consumption for aggregated public key combinations needed in signature verification by 85.3% compared to Schnorr signature.In the experimental blockchain platform,BHTSP is able to support the generation of threshold signatures involving up to 50 participants,optimizing the execution process for blockchain multi-party transactions.

Mixing is an important way for privacy protection among digital currency such as Bitcoin.However,on the one hand,Bitcoin mixing protects user privacy,on the other hand,it facilitates the transfer of assets for illegal activities such as ransomware and Bitcoin theft.In this paper,we propose a traceable scheme for Bitcoin mixing.The scheme aims to protect the privacy of legi-timate users and can trace the illegal assets.The system is regulated by trusted third party,user anonymity and traceability based on the group signature which is constructed by bilinear groups and strong Diffie-Hellman assumption.When there is a need for tracing,the regulator can determine the signed user through the system private key,so as to determine the illegal asset transfer path.Security analysis shows that the scheme can trace the illegal asset transfer without modifying the current Bitcoin system,meanwhile,the solution provide privacy protection and asset safety for legitimate users.Furthermore,the scheme provides a refe-rence direction for the research on digital currency privacy protection.

As the largest blockchain platform supporting smart contracts,millions of smart contracts have been deployed on Ethereum.Since the deployed smart contracts cannot be modified even if the contracts contain bugs,it is critical for developers to eliminate bugs prior to the deployment.Many smart contract analysis tools have been proposed.These tools either use bytecode-based symbolic execution to detect bugs,or convert the source code to an intermediate representation and then detect bugs.The tools based on symbolic execution usually cannot cover many types of bugs in source code.Converting the source code to an intermediate representation negatively impacts the detection speed.Moreover,these tools are bug detectors,which cannot automatically fix bugs based on analysis results.To address these limitations,we propose an approach named SolidityCheck,which employs regular expressions,program instrumentation and statement replacement in source code to quickly detect bugs and fix certain types of bugs.We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate SolidityCheck.The experimental results show that,compared with existing approaches,SolidityCheck demonstrates excellent performances on multiple indicators.

This paper proposes a mobile edge computing (MEC) assisted blockchain system in which mobile terminals (MT) do not have enough local computation resources to solve the proof of work (PoW) puzzle.By combining the computation resource allocation of MTs and edge server (ES) with the revenue sharing of MTs,a joint optimization problem is formulated to maximize the system-wide utility of all MTs and the ES.To solve the optimization problem efficiently,a multi-layer decomposition algorithm based on cyclic block coordinate descent (CBCD) is proposed.First,given the revenue sharing variables in advance,the corresponding sub-problem can be solved to obtain the computation resource allocation results of both MTs and ES.Then,with the obtained computation resource allocation,the revenue sharing variables of MTs are optimized.Finally,this paper optimizes the two sub-problems alternately until the algorithm reaches convergence.The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain the optimal solution of the joint optimization problem effectively and improve the system-wide utility.

As the core of blockchain technology,consensus mechanism determines the performance,scalability,and security of blockchain systems.Aiming at the performance and scalability issues of current blockchains and the high cost of the incentives used to maintain the security of the systems,a trust-based dual-layer scalable consensus protocol (TDSCP) is proposed.First,the trust model and consensus algorithm of dual-layer cooperation are designed through a structured network.The trust model determines whether a node gets the right to generate blocks based on its trustworthiness to avoid the high cost of mining.Secondly,the dual-layer consensus algorithm within the partitions improves consensus efficiency,expands the number of nodes involved in consensus,and avoids the problem of system centralization.Finally,the verifiable random function and the multilevel graph partitioning algorithm are combined for partitioning nodes,which can effectively prevent malicious nodes from gathering and reduce the number of cross-partition transactions.The experimental results show that TDSCP improves the scalability of the blockchain system,the latency of its intra-partition algorithm consensus is lower,and the partition method significantly reduces the number of cross-partition transactions.

When analyzing various data in a given task,most of current researches only analyze single-source data and lack me-thods applied to multi-source data.But now data are becoming more abundant,therefore,this paper proposes a multi-source data fusion framework for fusing data from multiple network platforms.The data of the same platform contains text and various attri-butes,and there are also great differences in content and form among data of different platforms.Most existing network information mining methods only use part of the data in the same platform for analysis,and even ignore the interaction between the data of different platforms.Therefore,this paper proposes a data fusion framework,which can not only use more features of the same platform to improve the performance of a single platform,but also fuse the data features of different platforms to complement each other,thereby improving the performance of multiple platforms.This paper uses the task of event classification,and the abundant features effectively improve the F1 value,which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed multi-source data framework.

For personalized recommendation,common recommendation algorithms include content recommendation,Item CF and User CF.However,most of these algorithms and their improved algorithms tend to focus on users' explicit feedback (tags,ra-tings,etc.) or rating data,and lack the use of multi-dimensional user behavior and behavior order,resulting in low recommendation accuracy and cold start problems.In order to improve the recommendation accuracy,a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on knowledge graph (BR-CF) is proposed.Firstly,according to the user behavior data,behavior graph and behavior route are created considering the behavior order,and then the vectorization technology (Keras Tokenizer) is used.Finally,the similarity between multi-dimensional behavior route vectors is calculated,and the route collaborative filtering recommendation is carried out for each dimension.On this basis,two improved algorithms combining BR-CF and Item CF are proposed.The expe-rimental results show that the BR-CF algorithm can recommend effectively in multiple dimensions on the user behavior dataset of Ali Tianchi,realize the full utilization of data and the diversity of recommendation,and the improved algorithm can improve the recommendation performance of Item CF.

Recommendation systems alleviate the problem of information overload caused by the rapid increase of data on the Internet.But traditional recommendation systems are not accurate enough due to data sparsity and cold start.Therefore,a novel recommendation algorithm based on knowledge graph and tag-aware (KGTA) is proposed.First,tags of items and users are used to capture low-order and high-order features through knowledge graph representation learning.The semantic information of entities and relationships in two knowledge graphs is embedded into a low-dimension vector space to obtain the unified representation of items and users.Then,deep neural networks and recurrent neural networks combining attention mechanism are respectively utilized to extract the latent features of items and users.Finally,ratings are predicted on the basis of latent features.KGTA not only takes relationship information and semantic information of knowledge graph and tags into consideration,but also learns latent features of items and users through deep structures.Experimental results on MovieLens datasets illustrate that the proposed algorithm performs better in rating prediction and improves the accuracy of recommendation.

A reasonable data placement strategy is essential to the efficient execution of scientific workflow in hybrid cloud environment.The traditional data placement strategy mainly focuses on the deterministic environment,but the data transmission time is uncertain due to the different load,bandwidth fluctuation and network congestion between different data centers and computer characteristics in the actual network environment.To solve this problem,a fuzzy adaptive discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm operator (FGA-DPSO) is proposed to minimize the fuzzy transmission time of data,place the scientific workflow data reasonably and meet the privacy requirements of the data set and the capacity limit of the data center.The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively reduce the fuzzy data transmission time of scientific workflow in hybrid cloud environment.

The spatial co-location pattern is a set of spatial features,and the instances frequently appear together in the spatial region.Due to the correlation and heterogeneity of spatial data,the distribution of co-location instances may appear globally in the whole research area (global co-location pattern),or appear in a local area of the research area (regional co-location pattern),Thus the multi-level co-location pattern mining is proposed.There are two problems with current multi-level co-location pattern mining methods:1)the existing multi-level co-location pattern mining methods ignore the spatial distribution characteristics of patterns and fail to accurately distinguish global and regional co-location patterns;2)the existing multi-level pattern mining method uses global non-prevalent co-location patterns as candidate regional co-location patterns,and the number of candidate patterns is too large.In response to the above problems,firstly,we define the uniform coefficient of the instance distribution of the co-location pattern and consider the pattern distribution in space while considering the pattern prevalence,so as to correctly and efficiently identify the global and regional co-location patterns.Secondly,a novel multi-level co-location pattern mining algorithm is designed based on the uniformity coefficient of the instance distribution of the pattern.In this algorithm,an effective pruning strategy is proposed to improve the efficiency of the algorithm.Finally,extensive experiments are carried out on real and synthetic data sets,which verify the correctness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Aiming at the problems of detecting targets with Haar-like,such as excessive feature values,expensive computational cost,inability to describe the target texture features,and low recognition rate etc.,this paper proposes an adaptive threshold IHL (Improved Haar-like LBP) feature extraction algorithm based on the information of the origin of the sliding window.More speci-fically,the algorithm first constructs the IHL feature coding method fusing Haar-like features and LBP features.Then,for computing Haar-like local binary features,a Gaussian matrix is used to obtain an adaptive threshold that conforms to the pixel distribution law,and the pixel information of the central point is introduced to ensure the rationality of the extracted feature value.Finally,the cascade classifier trained by AdaBoost is built and experiments are conducted on the KITTI vehicle data set and the INRIA Person pedestrian data set.The proposed algorithm,with a recognition rate of more than 94%,is proven effective with recognizing 1 102 pedestrian targets in 65 s and 1 852 vehicle targets in 114.3 s,which can significantly speed up target recognition time and obviously improve the detection accuracy compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Existing object pose estimation methods cannot provide estimated poses with inter-frame stability.As a result,when the results are directly used in visualization scenarios such as augmented reality,it will cause screen jitter,so it's not suitable enough for application scenarios such as human-machine collaboration.This paper proposes an object pose estimation optimization method that includes multiple methods.By improving the loss function of the original pose estimation method and using causal filtering to optimize the pose estimation result,a stable estimated pose can be obtained.In addition,in order to consummate the eva-luation system of the degree of stability of the pose estimation method,this paper proposes three evaluation indicators:the direct deviation distance DBD,the direction reversal rate DRR and the average displacement angle ADA,which can evaluate the object pose estimation method from multiple viewpoints.Finally,the YCB-STB dataset is used to test,and the method is compared with the original method without optimization.The results show that the proposed method can improve the inter-frame stability of the existing object pose estimation methods without introducing additional resources,and has a small impact on the accuracy of the original method,which satisfies the requirement of object attitude estimation in human-machine collaborative scene.

Smoothing is an important method for digital image denoising and blurring.It is often used to beautify and retouch “forged” images.Therefore,it is necessary to detect various smoothing filters.Aiming at the common image smoothing proces-sing,this paper proposes a new smoothing filter detection algorithm based on the tail information of differential histogram.Firstly,for the image to be detected,multiple difference absolute value histograms are constructed based on different difference step lengths and directions.Then,the occurrence frequency of the difference values of 0 and 1 in the histogram is extracted,and the several difference values from large to small at the tail of the histogram and their occurrence frequency are extracted to construct multi-dimensional detection feature.Finally,an SVM classifier is constructed to detect images.The experiments of smoothing detection and distinguishing different smoothing filters are carried out on the image library.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has excellent detection performance for three common spatial smoothing filters,including median filter,ave-rage filter and Gaussian filter.In addition,the algorithm can effectively distinguish smoothing filter from sharpening,scaling,compression and other digital image operations,and has robustness in JPEG compressed image.

Time series signals are widely used in various pattern recognition applications.In order to solve the problem of low pattern recognition rate of time series signals for a large number of targets,this article uses a variety of transform methods to convert time series signals into images,and performes pattern recognition using image classification algorithms.In the experiment,the mechanomyography (MMG) corresponding to 30 sign languages on the forearm are collected and converted into diffe-rent image styles,and a convolution neural network (CNN) framework is designed to establish pattern recognition classification models for the images.The models are optimized twice with the application of transfer learning algorithm,and the recognition rate of the best classification model reaches 98.7%,which is much higher than the recognition rate of traditional machine learning algorithms.The experimental results imply that the image processing of time series signals can effectively improve the recognition rate of multi-target pattern recognition of MMG.This paper can provide references for pattern recognition of other time series signal.

Despite dehazing algorithms based on convolutional neural networks have made tremendous progress in synthetic uniform hazy datasets,they still perform poorly on real nonhomogeneous hazy images.In order to achieve fast and effective nonhomogeneous image dehazing,we propose a multi-patch and multi-scale hierarchical aggregation network (MPSHAN),which fuses multi-patch local information and multi-scale global information.Secondly,we propose a hierarchical fusion module (HFM),which not only decouples residual fusion to achieve richer non-linear feature expression,but also improves the feature fusion qua-lity at key locations through the channel attention mechanism.At the same time,dilated convolution is used on hierarchies to obtain multi-scale information,which enhances feature maps to optimize the fusion effect.In addition,in the loss function,we add frequency domain loss to restore better edge quality.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good robustness on nonhomogeneous hazy images,and the average processing time of 1 200×1 600 high-resolution images is only 0.044 s.Compared with other dehazing algorithms,it achieves a better balance between image dehazing effect and running time.

Deep convolutional neural networks (Deep CNNs) are difficult to train as they become deeper.Moreover,in image super-resolution,channel-wise features and inputs of the low-resolution (LR) image are treated equally between different channels,resulting in the deficiency of the representational ability of the CNNs.To resolve these issues,residual attention network with multi-skip Connection (RANMC) is proposed for single-image super resolution (SISR),which employs residual in multi-skip connection (RIMC) structure,then a very deep network is formulated with serval residual groups.Each residual group (RG) contains a certain number of short skip connections (SSC) and multi-skip connections (MC).Based on RIMC,rich low-frequency (LF) information is allowed to be bypassed through multi-skip connection,and high-frequency (HF) information is focused on learning by the principal network.Furthermore,considering interdependencies in channel and spatial dimension,attention mechanism block(AMBlock) is proposed to focus on the location of the information and adaptively readjust channel-wise features,where the spatial attention (SA) mechanism and channel attention (CA) mechanism are taken in the approach.Experiments indicate that RANMC can not only recover image details better,but also obtain higher image quality and network performance.

Safety production management is an important policy for the development of high-risk enterprises such as the construction industry and heavy industry,and safety helmets play a key role in head protection in the production environment.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of helmet wearing.In recent years,the monitoring method of helmet wearing based on image vision has become the main means for enterprises to implement management.How to improve the detection accuracy and speed of helmet wearing is a crucial issue for applications.To deal with this issue,an improved YOLO v4 algorithm is proposed to promote the accuracy and efficiency of safety helmet wearing detection in this paper.First,a 128×128 feature map output is added to the original three feature map outputs of the YOLO v4 algorithm,and the 8 times downsampling of the feature map output is changed to 4 times downsampling to provide more small target features for subsequent feature fusion.Second,the feature fusion module is improved based on the idea of dense connection to realize feature reuse,so that the Yolo Head classifier responsible for small target detection can utilize the features of different levels,to obtain better target detection and classification results.Finally,comparative experiments are carried out.The results show that the average accuracy of the proposed method is 2.96% higher than the original network detection accuracy to be 91.17%,and the detection speed is basically unchanged to be 52.9 frame/s.Thereupon,the proposed algorithm can achieve better detection accuracy while meeting real-time detection requirements,and effectively realize the high-speed and high-precision detection of helmet wearing.

Refined domain text analysis is an important prerequisite for high-quality domain knowledge acquisition.It usually relies on a large number of some form of semantic grammars,but summarizing them is often time-consuming and labor-intensive.In this paper,an automatic learning method of semantic grammar based on fault-tolerant Earley parsing algorithm is proposed,which automatically generates new semantic grammars (including lexicons and grammar production rules) according to seed grammar to reduce labor costs.This method uses the optimized fault-tolerant Earley parser to perform fault-tolerant parsing on the input statements,and then generates candidate semantic grammars based on the parse tree generated by the fault-tolerant parsing.Finally,the candidate semantic grammars are filtered or corrected to obtain the final semantic grammars.In the experiment of five TCM medical records with different diseases,the precision rate of learning new lexicons is 63.88%,and precision rate of learning new grammar production rules is 81.78%.

The popularization of electronic clinical medical records (EMRs) makes it possible to use automated ways to quickly extract high-value information from EMRs.As a kind of crucial medical information,tumor medical event is typically composed of a series of attributes describing malignant tumors.Recently,tumor medical event extraction has become a research hotspot in the academic community,and many influential academic conferences publish it as an evaluation task and provide a series of high-quality manually annotated data.Aiming at the discrete characteristic of tumor event attributes,this paper proposes a joint extraction method,which realizes the joint extraction of tumor primary site and primary tumor size and also the extraction of tumor metastasis sites.In addition,aiming to alleviate the small counts and types of annotated tumor medical texts,this paper proposes a pseudo-data generation algorithm based on the global random replacement of key information,which improves the transfer learning ability of the joint extraction method for different types of tumor events.The proposed method wins the third place in the clinical medical event extraction evaluation task of CCKS2020,and extensive experiments on CCKS2019 and CCKS2020 datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

For the SAT solver,most popular branch variable decision-making strategies are based on the variable activity evaluation of conflict.The unassigned variable with the maximum activity is selected as the decision variable,and the most recent conflict is solved first.However,they all ignore the impact of the number of clauses containing decision variables on the Boolean constraint propagation (BCP).To solve this problem,this paper proposes a branch variable decision strategy (VDALCD) based on the learning clause deletion strategy,which reduces the activity of variables in the deleted clause when the clause is deleting.Based on the VDALCD strategy,Glucose4.1 and MapleLCMDistChronoBT-DL-v2.1 are improved to solvers Glucose4.1_VDALCD and Maple-DL_VDALCD.This paper uses 2018 and 2019 SAT international competition questions as benchmark test cases to compare the improved version with the original version of the solver.The experimental results show that Gluose4.1_VDALCD finds out 26 more examples than Gluose4.1,an increase of 15.5% in the 2018 example test.In the 2019 example test,Maple-DL_VDALCD finds out 17 more examples than MapleLCMDistChronoBT-DL-v2.1,an increase of 7.6%.

Aiming at the problem of low retrieval efficiency and accuracy in text retrieval,a retrieval model based on pre-trained language model and deep hash method is proposed.Firstly,the prior knowledge of text contained in the pre-trained language model is introduced by transfer learning,and then the input is transformed into high-dimensional vector representation by feature extraction.A hash learning layer is added to the back end of the whole model to fine tune the parameters of the model by designing specific optimization objectives,so as to dynamically learn the hash function and the unique hash representation of each input in the training.Experimental results show that the retrieval accuracy of this method is at least 21.70% and 21.38% higher than that of other benchmark models in top-5 and top-10,respectively.The introduction of hash code makes the model improve the retrieval speed by 40 times under the premise of only losing 4.78% accuracy.Therefore,this method can significantly improve the retrieval accuracy and efficiency,and has a potential application prospect in the field of text retrieval.

Aiming at the lack of the ability of simple neural networks to capture the contextual semantics of texts and extract important information in texts,a sentiment analysis model FFA-BiAGRU is proposed,which integrates attention mechanism and GRU.First,we pre-process the text and vectorize the words through GloVe to reduce the vector space dimension.Then,through a hybrid model that fuses the attention mechanism with the update gate of the gating unit,it can extract important information in the text features.Finally,the text features are further extracted through the forced forward attention mechanism,and then classified by the softmax classifier.Experiments on public data sets show that the algorithm can effectively improve the sentiment ana-lysis performance.

Due to the lack of connectives,implicit discourse relation recognition models infer the semantic relations (e.g.,causal) between two arguments (clauses or sentences) based on their semantics.The performance of these models is still relatively low.It is also very difficult for corpus annotators to annotate implicit discourse relations.They usually insert an appropriate connective to assist the annotation of an implicit discourse relation instance.Considering the above,a knowledge distillation based method is proposed for implicit discourse relation recognition to take use of the connectives inserted during corpus annotating.Specifically,a connective-enhanced model is constructed to integrate the connective information,and then the integrated connective information is transferred to the implicit discourse relation recognition model via knowledge distillation.Experimental results on the commonly used PDTB dataset show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the baselines.

A typical application of UAV is to locate ground targets.This paper proposes to let a UAV hover at predetermined positions to broadcast beacon signals.When a ground node receives beacons from at least three hovering positions,it can localize itself.This paper mainly considers how to choose the hovering positions and how to optimize the flight path of the UAV.This paper proposes two hovering schemes,and gives two path planning algorithms for the hovering schemes to optimize the flight path of the UAV.We prove that the flight paths under the two hovering schemes are the shortest paths respectively.Through simulations,it is verified that the proposed scheme can achieve complete coverage of the area,so that any ground node can be localized.Simulations show that the proposed schemes can achieve higher localization accuracy by adjusting the flying height of the UAV or the grid size in the hovering schemes.

In this paper,a resource management framework is presented for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enhanced scalable video coding (SVC) multicast in heterogeneous networks (HetNets).In this framework,radio spectrum slicing for different base stations,spectrum partition for multiple groups within each spectrum slice,and transmit power division within each multicast group are jointly considered,to maximize the overall video quality experienced by user equipment in multicast groups.For tractability,the joint resource management problem is formulated as an integer linear programming problem,with theconsi-deration of different video requests,varying device locations,and inter-cell interference.The formulated optimization problem is decoupled into an intra-group transmit power division problem and a multi-group spectrum partition and inter-slice spectrum partition problem.The former subproblem obtains the optimal transmitting power for each layer of superposition coding through multiple cycles.The latter subproblem is solved optimally by the knapsack algorithm.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing scheme in spectral efficiency and average video quality of each user equipment.

The mutual promotion of mobile communication technology and mobile communication industry has achieved unprecedented prosperity in the mobile Internet era.The explosion of mobile devices,expansion of the network scale,improvement of service requirements are driving the next technological revolution in wireless networks.5G meets the requirements for the thousand-fold improvement of service performance through intensive network deployment,but co-channel interference and bursty request problems make the energy consumption of this solution very huge.In order to support 5G network to provide energy-efficient and high-performance services,it is imperative to upgrade and improve the management scheme of mobile networks.In this article,we use a short-cycle management framework with cache queues to achieve agile and smooth management of request burst scenarios to avoid dramatic fluctuations in service quality due to request bursts.We use deep reinforcement learning to learn the user distribution and communication needs,and infer the load change rules of the base station,and then realize the pre-scheduling and pre-allocation of energy,while ensuring the quality of service and improving the energy efficiency.Compared with the classic DQN algorithm,the two-buffer DQN algorithm proposed in this paper can provide nearly 20% acceleration in convergence.In terms of decision performance,it can save 4.8% energy consumption compared to the currently widely used keep on strategy.

With the continuous increase in the number of users which access to ISP's edge devices,the amount of data needs to be processed has doubled,which causes the edge device to be overloaded,and affects the normal interaction of the virtual private network data constructed by the multi-protocol label switching and the border gateway protocol.At this stage,the MCE,HOPE and SDN solutions all have certain limitations in solving this problem:the MCE mode edge device interface does not support the creation of logical channels,the solution cannot be used;the HOPE mode causes problems such as routing loops;the number of concurrent sessions processed by a single SDN controller in the SDN mode cannot exceed 64 000.In response to the above problems,an edge device optimization solution based on dual-layer virtualization is proposed.This solution includes the following three basic steps:edge device virtualization,virtual private network tunnel establishment,and virtual private network information isolation.On this basis,the solution is optimized from the network model,the construction of the network resource pool and the splitting of the network resource pool.The performance of the solution is evaluated based on the experimental environment,and compared with the virtual private network constructed in the traditional way in terms of packet forwarding rate,manageability,and sca-lability.The analysis results show that the dual-layer virtual solution which is designed to construct a network resource pool can realize the unified scheduling and management of resources,effectively solve the overloaded problem of ISP's edge equipment,and also be an effective solution for building a virtual private network.
