Influence maximization algorithm based on social network by Xuan WANG, Yu ZHANG, Junfeng ZHOU, Ziyang CHEN

“…The influence maximization (IM) problem asks for a group of seed users in a social network under a given propagation model, so that the information spread is maximized through these users.Existing algorithms have two main problems.Firstly, these algorithms were difficult to be applied in large-scale social networks due to limited expected influence and high time complexity.Secondly, these algorithms were limited to specific propagation models and could only solve the IM problem under a single type of social network.When they were used in different types of networks, the effect was poor.In this regard, an efficient algorithm (MTIM) based on two classic propagation models and reverse influence sampling (RIS) was proposed.To verify the effectiveness of MTIM, experiments were conducted to compare MTIM with greedy algorithms such as IMM, TIM and PMC, and heuristic algorithms such as OneHop and Degree Discount on four real social networks.The results show that MTIM can return a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow><mo>(</mo> <mrow> <mn>1</mn><mo>−</mo><mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mtext>e</mtext> </mfrac> <mo>−</mo><mi>ε</mi></mrow> <mo>)</mo></mrow></math></inline-formula> approximate solution, effectively expand the expected influence and significantly improve the efficiency.…”

Fast reconstruction method for compressed sensing model with semi-tensor product by Jinming WANG, Shiping YE, Lizhe YU, Sen XU, Yanjun JIANG

“…To reduce the storage space of random measurement matrix and improve the reconstruction efficiency for compressed sensing (CS),a new sampling approach for CS with semi-tensor product (STP-CS) was proposed.The proposed approach generated a low dimensional random measurement matrix to sample the sparse signals.Then the solutions of the sparse vector were estimated group by group with a l_q-minimization (0＆lt;q＆lt;1) iteratively re-weighted least-squares (IRLS) algorithm.Compared with traditional compressed sensing methods,the proposed approach outperformed conventional CS in speed of reconstruction and that it also obtained comparable quality in the reconstruction.Numerical experiments were conducted using gray-scale images,the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the reconstruction time of the reconstruction images were compared with the random matrices with different dimensions.Comparisons were also conducted with other low storage techniques.Numerical experiment results show that the STP-CS can effectively reduce the storage space of the random measurement matrix to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mi>M</mi> <mi>t</mi> </mfrac> <mtext>×</mtext><mfrac> <mi>N</mi> <mi>t</mi> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> and decrease tow orders of magnitude of time that for conventional CS,while maintaining the reconstruction quality.Numerical results also show that the reconstruction time can be effectively improved 260 for the image size of 1 024×1 024.…”
