This article aims to study the key aspects of this method—measurement of similarity and selection of similarity sets, and proposes a Portfolio Selection Method based on Pattern Matching with Dual Information of Direction and Distance (PMDI). By studying different combination methods of indicators such as Euclidean distance, Chebyshev distance, and correlation coefficient, important information such as direction and distance in stock historical price information is extracted, thereby filtering out the similarity set required for pattern matching based investment portfolio selection algorithms. A large number of experiments conducted on two datasets of real stock markets have shown that PMDI outperforms other algorithms in balancing income and risk. Therefore, it is suitable for the financial environment in the real world.展开更多

It is utilized in text processing like removing the duplication of strings. This paper presents a fast string cross pattern matching algorithm based on extracting high frequency strings. Compared with existing algorithms including single-pattern algorithms and multi-pattern matching algorithms, this algorithm is featured by both low time complexity and low space complexity. Because Chinese alphabet is large and the average length of Chinese words is much short, this algorithm is more suitable to process the text written by Chinese, especially when the size of Σ is large and the number of strings is far more than the maximum length of strings of set U.展开更多

They are aiming to find a pattern in a text. This paper proposes a Pattern Matching Algorithm Using Changing Consecutive Characters (PMCCC) to make the searching pro- cess of the algorithm faster. PMCCC enhances the shift process that determines how the pattern moves in case of the occurrence of the mismatch between the pattern and the text. It enhances the Berry Ravindran (BR) shift function by using m consecutive characters where m is the pattern length. The formal basis and the algorithms are presented. The experimental results show that PMCCC made enhancements in searching process by reducing the number of comparisons and the number of attempts. Comparing the results of PMCCC with other related algorithms has shown significant enhancements in average number of comparisons and average number of attempts.展开更多

The nonsubsampled contourlet transform is used to decompose an image into a low frequency image and several high frequency images, and the scale-invariant feature transform is employed to extract feature points from the low frequency im- age. A proximity matrix is constructed for the feature points of two related images. By singular value decomposition of the proximity matrix, a matching matrix (or matching result) reflecting the match- ing degree among feature points is obtained. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce time complexity and possess a higher accuracy.展开更多

In MCS applications, a crucial issue is how to recruit appropriate participants from a pool of available users to accomplish released tasks, satisfying both resource efficiency and sensing quality. In order to meet these two optimization goals simultaneously, in this paper, we present a novel MCS task allocation framework by aligning existing task sequence with users' moving regularity as much as possible. Based on the process of mobility repetitive pattern discovery, the original task allocation problem is converted into a pattern matching issue, and the involved optimization goals are transformed into pattern matching length and support degree indicators. To determine a trade-off between these two competitive metrics, we propose greedy- based optimal assignment scheme search approaches, namely MLP, MDP, IU1 and IU2 algorithm, with respect to matching length-preferred, support degree-preferred and integrated utility, respectively. Comprehensive experiments on real- world open data set and synthetic data set clearly validate the effectiveness of our proposed framework on MCS task optimal allocation.展开更多

Due to the uncertainty of wildcards, not only is the number of all matches exponential with respect to the maximal gap flexibility and the pattern length, but the matching positions in PMW are also hard to choose. The objective to count the maximal number of matches one by one is computationally infeasible. Therefore,rather than solving the generic PMW problem, many research efforts have further defined new problems within PMW according to different application backgrounds. To break through the limitations of either fixing the number or allowing an unbounded number of wildcards, pattern matching with flexible wildcards(PMFW) allows the users to control the ranges of wildcards. In this paper, we provide a survey on the state-of-the-art algorithms for PMFW, with detailed analyses and comparisons, and discuss challenges and opportunities in PMFW research and applications.展开更多

It can be widely used in many areas such as image registration, object recognition, motion de-tection, target tracking, autonomous navigation, and pose estimation. This paper discusses the in-complete matching problem of two point sets under Euclidean transformation. According to geometric reasoning, some definitions for matching clique, support point pair, support index set, and support in-dex matrix, etc. are given. Based on the properties and theorems of them, a novel reasoning algo-rithm is presented, which searches for the optimal solution from top to bottom and could find out as many consistent corresponding point pairs as possible. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the new algorithm is very effective, and could be, under some conditions, applied to the PPM problem under other kind of transformations.展开更多

In this paper, a new pattern matching algorithm for LFC is presented, which can represent a sequence of patterns as an integer by an encoding method. It is a rather simple method and produces efficient case-expressions for pattern matching definitions of LFC. The algorithm can also be used for other functional languages, but for nested patterns it may become complicated and further studies are needed.展开更多

文摘Discovering regularities between entities in temporal graphs is vital for many real-world applications(e.g.,social recommendation,emergency event detection,and cyberattack event detection).This paper proposes temporal graph association rules(TGARs)that extend traditional graph-pattern association rules in a static graph by incorporating the unique temporal information and constraints.We introduce quality measures(e.g.,support,confidence,and diversification)to characterize meaningful TGARs that are useful and diversified.In addition,the proposed support metric is an upper bound for alternative metrics,allowing us to guarantee a superset of patterns.We extend conventional confidence measures in terms of maximal occurrences of TGARs.The diversification score strikes a balance between interestingness and diversity.Although the problem is NP-hard,we develop an effective discovery algorithm for TGARs that integrates TGARs generation and TGARs selection and shows that mining TGARs is feasible over a temporal graph.We propose pruning strategies to filter TGARs that have low support or cannot make top-k as early as possible.Moreover,we design an auxiliary data structure to prune the TGARs that do not meet the constraints during the TGARs generation process to avoid conducting repeated subgraph matching for each extension in the search space.We experimentally verify the effectiveness,efficiency,and scalability of our algorithms in discovering diversified top-k TGARs from temporal graphs in real-life applications.

文摘LFC is a functional language based on recursive functions defined in context-free languages. In this paper, a new pattern matching algorithm for LFC is presented, which can represent a sequence of patterns as an integer by an encoding method. It is a rather simple method and produces efficient case-expressions for pattern matching definitions of LFC. The algorithm can also be used for other functional languages, but for nested patterns it may become complicated and further studies are needed.
