Sentiment analysis or opinion mining aims to use automated tools to detect subjective information such as opinions, attitudes, and feelings expressed in text. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic modeling framework called joint sentiment-topic (JST) model based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), which detects sentiment and topic simultaneously from text. A reparameterized version of the […]
Image Reduction Using Means on Discrete Product Lattices
We investigate the problem of averaging values on lattices and, in particular, on discrete product lattices. This problem arises in image processing when several color values given in RGB, HSL, or another coding scheme need to be combined. We show how the arithmetic mean and the median can be constructed by minimizing appropriate penalties, and […]
A Secret-Sharing-Based Method for Authentication of Grayscale Document Images via the Use of the PNG Image With a Data Repair Capability
A new blind authentication method based on the secret sharing technique with a data repair capability for grayscale document images via the use of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image is proposed. An authentication signal is generated for each block of a grayscale document image, which, together with the binarized block content, is transformed into […]
A Primal–Dual Method for Total-Variation-Based Wavelet Domain Inpainting – Image Processing – 2012
Loss of information in a wavelet domain can occur during storage or transmission when the images are formatted and stored in terms of wavelet coefficients. This calls for image inpainting in wavelet domains. In this paper, a variational approach is used to formulate the reconstruction problem. We propose a simple but very efficient iterative scheme […]
Making Sensor Networks Immortal: An Energy-Renewal Approach With Wireless Power Transfer
Wireless sensor networks are constrained by limited battery energy. Thus, finite network lifetime is widely regarded as a fundamental performance bottleneck. Recent breakthrough in the area of wireless power transfer offers the potential of removing this performance bottleneck, i.e., allowing a sensor network to remain operational forever. In this paper, we investigate the operation of […]
Timescale Decoupled Routing and Rate Control in Intermittently Connected Networks
We study an intermittently connected network (ICN) composed of multiple clusters of wireless nodes. Within each cluster, nodes can communicate directly using the wireless links. However, these clusters are far away from each other such that direct communication between the clusters is impossible except through “mobile” contact nodes. These mobile contact nodes are data carriers […]
Efficient Algorithms for Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Networks
Neighbor discovery is an important first step in the initialization of a wireless ad hoc network. In this paper, we design and analyze several algorithms for neighbor discovery in wireless networks. Starting with a single-hop wireless network of $n$ nodes, we propose a $Theta(nln n)$ ALOHA-like neighbor discovery algorithm when nodes cannot detect collisions, and […]
Low-complexity Scheduling Algorithms for Multi-channel Downlink Wireless Networks
This paper considers the problem of designing scheduling algorithms for multi-channel (e.g., OFDM) wireless downlink networks with n users/OFDM sub-channels. For this system, while the classical MaxWeight algorithm is known to be throughput-optimal, its buffer-overflow performance is very poor (formally, we show it has zero rate function in our setting). To address this, we propose […]
The Intrusion Detection in Mobile Sensor Network
Intrusion detection is an important problem in sensor networks. Prior works in static sensor environments show that constructing sensor barriers with random sensor deployment can be effective for intrusion detection. In response to the recent surge of interest in mobile sensor applications, this paper studies the intrusion detection problem in a mobile sensor network, where […]
Mobility Increases the Connectivity of Wireless Networks
In this paper, we investigate the connectivity for large-scale clustered wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. We study the effect of mobility on the critical transmission range for asymptotic connectivity in $k$-hop clustered networks and compare to existing results on nonclustered stationary networks. By introducing $k$-hop clustering, any packet from a cluster member can reach a cluster […]
