Title:	SENTIMENT ANALYSIS USING REPRESENTATIVE TERMS – A GROUPING APPROACH FOR BINARY CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS
Author:	N.SRINIVASA GUPTA, B.VALARMATHI, SANJU JOSEPH
Abstract:	Automatic classification of customer reviews as either positive or negative has been of great interest among the academic and business community in the recent times. In this paper, an attempt has been made to represent the text documents using just eight representative terms (RT) viz. good, very good, excellent, recommended, bad, very bad, disgusting, and never recommended. Thus a new way of representing text documents as a structured data matrix has been created. A consistent classification accuracy of near 80% and above was achieved for datasets of various sizes ranging from 403 to 25000. The precision (P), recall(R) and F-Measure were also very consistent and comparable to the previously reported results. A comparative analysis of classification performance has been carried out using machine learning algorithms like Naïve Bayes (NB), Bayesian logistic regression (BLR), multi layer perceptron (MLP) etc., revealed that the proposed way of representing the text documents results in consistently superior performance.

Title:	ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE PLANNING METHOD FOR COMPLIANT ASSEMBLY
Author:	LIHONG QIAO, NA CAI
Abstract:	Compliant assemblies are widely used in automobiles and airplanes etc. In order to simplify the complex assembly sequence planning problem of compliant assemblies involving dimensional variation caused by deformation, a two-step assembly sequence planning method is proposed in this paper. Meanwhile, an example of a wingbox assembly is used to explain the principle of the method. In the first step the wingbox is assumed to be a rigid body without deformation. The assembly sequence is then acquired according to the precedence constraint relationships represented by the liaison graph and the adjacency matrix. On the basis of the result obtained in the first step, the assembly sequence which meets the dimensional quality requirements is acquired by dimensional variation analysis in the second step. In order to clearly express the precedence and hierarchical constraint relationships for large number of parts, the hierarchical liaison graph based on connection feature is proposed and applied on modeling the wingbox assembly.

Title:	A FUZZY EVALUATION ALGORITHM OF E-COMMERCE CUSTOMERS BASED ON ATTRIBUTES REDUCTION
Author:	YUN PENG, HONGXIN WAN
Abstract:	The evaluation algorithm is based on the attributes of data objects. There is a certain correlation between attributes, and attributes are divided into key attributes and secondary attributes. The evaluation from the data objects in a hierarchical design based on key attributes can reduce the data size and algorithm complexity, and without prejudice on the basis of evaluation results can improve the accuracy of the algorithm. This paper proposes an algorithm of attribute reduction based on rough set and the hierarchical evaluation based on fuzzy set. The algorithm of hierarchical fuzzy evaluation based on attributes reduction is described in detail by example. According to the analysis of the current evaluation of e-commerce customers, a superposition method based on fuzzy evaluation algorithm is presented. After Clustering analysis of customers, then the evaluation analysis will be processed on the clustered data. There are a lot of uncertain data of customer clustering, so the traditional method of classification and evaluation to the incomplete data will be very complex. Superposition evaluation algorithm based on fuzzy set can improve the reliability and accuracy of e-commerce customer evaluation. Evaluation of the e-commerce customer also can improve efficiency, service quality and profitability of e-commerce businesses.

Author:	XIANGDE LIU, GENBAO ZHANG
Abstract:	The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is one of the most difficult NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. It is extremely difficult to solve the FJSP with the disturbances of manufacturing environment, which is always regarded as the flexible job shop online scheduling problem. This paper proposes a new method based on Process-Tree to solve this type of scheduling problem. Process sequence of a job can always be described as one of the three types of Process-Trees given in this paper. To manufacture a job, assignment of operations to machines is determined by considering the Process-Tree, together with the status of job shop and appropriateness of machines and auxiliary device for producing the job’s features. In this paper dispatching rules are used to generate the scheduling, and simulation results reveal that the presented approach performs well in flexible job shop online scheduling problem.

Title:	FAULT DIAGNOSIS FOR MOTOR BASED ON EMD ALGORITHM
Author:	LIJUN WANG, DONGFEI WANG, YONGLIANG HUANG
Abstract:	Nowadays motor is the most widely used power supply equipment and drive. In order to ensure the reliable operation of the motor, it is necessary to analyze the fault mechanism of motor equipment and to do some research on the relevant technology about fault diagnosis. The motor diagnostic method based on signal processing is the way that relies on modern signal processing technology to extract fault features, and find the fault according to the characteristics. At present the fault diagnosis method based on the wavelet analysis has become a hot topic. But wavelet transform also has its own defects, such as its dependence on a priori information and its applicable limitation. However, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) as a new signal processing technology, is completely driven by its original signal, doesn't need a priori base function and overcomes the deficiency of the wavelet transform. Therefore in this paper, EMD method is used in the fault diagnosis of the motor. In this study, EMD method shows a great advantage in the aspects of signal feature extraction, transformation, the reduction feasibility and fault diagnosis for induction motor at a setting speed.

Author:	JIHONG PANG, XIAOJING LIU, GUOQUAN LIU
Abstract:	The key to improve the competitive ability of manufacturing companies is how to develop high quality product for their customers. So, the selection of product quality and technical parameters is very important for meeting with the customer requirements (CRs). However, the selection process is a complex and difficult task. The aim of this study is to propose a comprehensive decision model to help product designers. Firstly, the analytic network process (ANP) is used to compute the weights of CRs. Then, quality function deployment (QFD), an effective optimization technique, is applied to transform CRs into product design technical characteristics (TCs). Finally, the relationships between CRs and TCs are considered in QFD during the inference process. A numerical example is given to prove the validity of the proposed synthesis methodology through a study of engineering machinery engines.

Title:	A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PAGE RANK ALGORITHM OF LITERATURES
Author:	KUN YU, XIAOBING CHEN, JIANHONG CHEN
Abstract:	Literature is usually evaluated based on impact factor, cited information or the quality of literature database. Here, some more exact evaluation schemes and algorithms are investigated and a synthetically reputation model and its evaluation algorithm are proposed. The reputation model integrates much more information of academic interactions such as reviews and comments. The literature reputation can be modeled by complex relationships among literature, authors, publish sources and readers. The model is in some ways similar to the Google PageRank model. However, in the literature reputation model, the relationships belong to different classes and have different importance that is great different from PageRank which regard all links as the same class. We propose a centralized algorithm that can compute the reputation most exactly and a distributed version that can run in P2P systems. The simulations show that the reputation evaluation algorithm is convergent and efficient. The communication cost of the distributed algorithm is low if the convergence condition is relaxed.
