Stochastic Performance Modeling for Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Consensus in Blockchain [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The practical Byzantine fault tolerant (PBFT) consensus mechanism is one of the most basic consensus algorithms (or protocols) in blockchain technologies, thus its performance evaluation is an interesting and challenging topic due to a higher complexity of its consensus work in the peer-to-peer network.

Novel Multidimensional Models of Opinion Dynamics in Social Networks [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2017, vol. 62, no. 5, 2270--2285, 2015
Unlike many complex networks studied in the literature, social networks rarely exhibit unanimous behavior, or consensus. This requires a development of mathematical models that are sufficiently simple to be examined and capture, at the same time, the complex behavior of real social groups, where opinions and actions related to them may form clusters of

AI supported Topic Modeling using KNIME-Workflows [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Topic modeling algorithms traditionally model topics as list of weighted terms. These topic models can be used effectively to classify texts or to support text mining tasks such as text summarization or fact extraction. The general procedure relies on statistical analysis of term frequencies.

Correlation Between Fecal Microbiota and Corticosteroid Responsiveness in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia: an Exploratory Study

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses gut microbiome data to predict corticosteroid response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Fecal samples from 212 patients with ITP are sequenced. Six machine‐learning algorithms are used to train predictive models. The support vector machine‐based model integrated clinical data and selected microbial species, diversities ...

Deterministic consensus maximization with biconvex programming [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Consensus maximization is one of the most widely used robust fitting paradigms in computer vision, and the development of algorithms for consensus maximization is an active research topic. In this paper, we propose an efficient deterministic optimization algorithm for consensus maximization.
