Digital watermarking method based on context word prediction and window compression coding by Lingyun XIANG, Minghao HUANG, Chenling ZHANG, Chunfang YANG

“…To address the problems of limited number of substitutable words and low watermark extraction efficiency in the existing natural language digital watermarking methods, a creative method based on context word prediction and window compression coding was proposed.Firstly, the contextual semantic features of each word in the original text were automatically learned through a neural network language model, and then the candidate word set for each word was predicted, thus the number of substitutable words that could be utilized for carrying watermark information was expanded.Meanwhile, considering the difference of the semantic impact caused by the substitutions of candidate words at different positions, the watermark information was embedded into each window containing several words, and the selection of candidate words for watermark embedding was optimized by the similarity between sentences before and after performing word substitutions.Finally, a semantic-independent window compression coding method was proposed, which encoded each window as appointed watermark information in terms of the character information of words contained in the window.So that during watermark extraction, the dependence on the original context at the position of word substitution was eliminated.The experimental results show that the proposed method greatly improves the watermark extraction efficiency with high embedding capacity and text quality.…”

Self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm based on population state information by Weijie MAI, Weili LIU, Jinghui ZHONG

“…The local optimum and stagnation state information of the population seriously affects the performance of differential evolution (DE) algorithm.An advanced DE algorithm with population state processing measures was proposed to address the above two issues.When the population falled into the local optimum, the individuals in the population were learned randomly by LBFGS method to improve the global quality of the solution, and Gaussian mutation was employed to trigger new individuals to jump out of local optimum.As for the stagnation state, the covariance matrix of the population was applied to reorganize the target individuals based on the rotation of the spatial coordinates to suppress the stagnation state of the population and enhance the global search ability of the algorithm.In addition, a new selection strategy was designed, which built an external archive to store abandoned individuals after greedy selection.When the trial individual was inferior to the target individual, the algorithm no longer generated the next generation with greedy selection strategy, but made reasonable intelligent selection around the external archive to ensure that the algorithm converges to the global optimum.Compared with eight state-of-the-art DE algorithms on 29 benchmark functions, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of the solution accuracy and convergence speed.…”

Analysis on the Relationship between Financing Constraints and Research and Development from the Perspective of the Location of Top Management Network by Jinzhong Li

“…The research provides a robust evidence to an inverted U-shaped relationship between the degrees of financing constraints and corporate R&D investment: appropriate financing constraints promote corporate R&D investment; once passing a turning point, excess financing constraints would suppress corporate R&D investment. Besides, it was learned that TMN location positively moderates the financing constraints and R&D investment. …”

Rational-security and fair two-party comparison protocol by Bowen ZHAO, Yao ZHU, Yang XIAO, Qingqi PEI, Xiaoguo LI, Ximeng LIU

“…., Bob) of the comparison result.Obviously, if Alice refused or failed to send the comparison result to Bob, Bob learned nothing about the comparison result, which broke the fairness of the two-party comparison protocol.Based on this, a rational-security and fair two-party comparison protocol TEAM was proposed by seamlessly combining the threshold Paillier cryptosystem and game theory.Specifically, a novel secure two-party comparison protocol based on the threshold Paillier cryptosystem was designed and then searched for equilibrium points at which two parties could obtain comparison results.Strict theoretical analysis demonstrate that TEAM guarantees rational two-party to always obtain the comparison result without sacrificing any of their inputs.In other words, TEAM was correct, secure, and fair.In addition, the experimental results show that TEAM improves up to 50 times in terms of efficiency compared with previous methods under the same experimental settings.…”
