    To avoid the deficiency of excessive dependence on named entity recognition during the understanding perio, logic relationships among vital information in Chinese natural language question were understood by semantic relation. An algorithm for recognizing semantic relations based on dependency structures was proposed, which first recognized three kinds of valuable dependency structures that were vital for obtaining semantic relations, and then combined or transformed these dependency structures to obtain semantic relations. The effectiveness and scalability of the proposed method were verified by extensive experiments over Chinese benchmark question answering datasets, and the experiments results showed that this method could also understand Chinese natural language questions when recognition of named entity failed.

    Aiming at automatic target recognition of aircrafts, a Chirplet neural network for joint feature extraction and target classification was proposed to realize recognition of one-dimensional high resolution range profiles. Based on the multilayer feedforward neural network structure, the Chirplet-atom transform was used to replace the conventional excitation function in the input layer for feature extraction, and the hidden layer and output layer constituted the classifier of the network. The network weights and the parameters of Chirplet-atom node were simultaneously adjusted and optimized to achieve joint feature extraction and target classification. The simulation results of the four types of aircrafts showed that the Chirplet neural network method with the four-feature-parameters had higher recognition rate and anti-noise performance than the time-frequency transformation and Gabor atoms network.

    To reduce the additional communication modules, complexity and costs of the different Internet of Things(IoT) devices communication, a multi-microcontroller communication method based on UART asynchronous serial ports was proposed. Based on the universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter(UART) serial communication method of the microcontroller, the control line was utilized to control the usage of the communication lines by the communication device, and a method of occupying the signal line by multiple machines in a time-sharing manner was realized. The master-slave control strategy was used to set the communication protocol. The master implements signal forwarding and identification, and the slave got signals from the master to achieve reliable and stable communication among multiple machines. By transplanting the μC/OS-Ⅱ operating system to the STM32 microcontroller, and using the real-time multitasking characteristics of μC/OS-Ⅱ, the signal reception, transmission and identification were designed into tasks of different priorities, and the master and the slave were realized. The functions of information receiving, sending and identification and the characteristics of multi-slave expansion were achieved through the communication protocol, solving the problem of multi-microcontroller communication that the traditional UART method could not achieve. The feasibility of the proposed method was verified through experiments, which provided a new solution for multi-microcontroller communication of edge devices in the Internet of Things.

    A multi-model subspace learning semantic tag generation method was proposed, whic was based on the visual space and label space tag correlation modeling method separately. This method reconstructed the "image-tag" correlation in a non-linear manner by establishing a visual feature similarity map, thereby unifying the visual modal representation of the image and the text modal representation of the tag into a multi-model subspace, and ensuring space structure preservation before and after conversion. In this space, the text modal information of the label and the modal information of the visual content of the image were complementary to each other. The semantically related images and labels were mapped to similar sample points in the space, and the semantic label generation problem was then transformed into the nearest label-neighbors retrieval problem. The results showed that the performance of the proposed method was 36.88% on FLICKR-25K data set, and 44.17% on NUS-WIDE data set, which indicated that the proposed method could greatly improve the accuracy of label generation.

    Due to the interference of various factors in the complex situation of reality, the trackers had some problems such as model drift and tracking failure. An adaptive fusion target tracking based on joint detection algorithm was proposed to improve the robustness and accuracy of the tracker. The deep and shallow convolutional features acted on the correlation filters separately to obtain response scores according to their respective advantages, and adaptively fused the response scores of different convolutional features by minimizing the loss. Then it combined with the location detection method to judge the validity and authenticity of the predicted location, so as to get the optimal target tracking results. A large number of tests were done in two open databases: OTB-2015 and VOT-2017. The experimental results showed that the proposed method was 10% more robust and 3.9% more accurate than the LSART algorithm. It also had excellent performance for occlusion and scale variation.

    In the label distribution learning framework, the example could be associated with the degree of description of the label. However, most of the algorithms were designed with complete data, and didn′t consider the noise in the data. Therefore, combined the noise reduction characteristics of the auto-encoder and the stability of the kernel extreme learning machine, the Label Distribution Learning Algorithm based on Kernel Extreme Learning Machine with auto-encoder was proposed in this paper. Firstly, we used the auto-encoder in kernel extreme learning machine to map the original feature space to obtain more robust feature representation. Secondly, we constructed the extreme learning machine model that adapted to the label distribution learning as a classifier to improve the classification efficiency and performance. Finally, the experimental results showed the proposed algorithm had certain advantages over other label distribution learning algorithms, and the hypothesis test method further illustrated the effectiveness of the algorithm.

    The investigation was focused on the effects of using a row of holes for the reduction of nearby vibration response generated by the motion of a machine foundation on saturated soil. The analysis was accomplished with the aid of a series of field experiments and numerical simulation. 3D semi-analytical BE models were established to use a row of holes as active wave barrier to isolate the ground vibrations generated by the machine foundation laid on the surface of saturated soil foundation, and the effects of the model parameters on screening effectiveness were investigated and discussed in detail. The results showed that a row of holes could isolate the ground vibrations successfully. Increasing the radius and the depth, decreasing the net spacing between two successive holes increase the screening effectiveness. According to the results, it was suggested in the design that the hole radius should take the value of 0.1-0.15λR, and the hole depth and the net spacing between two successive holes should take the value no more than 1.0λR and 0.1λR, respectively. Moreover, the distance between the machine foundation and wave barriers affect the screening effectiveness, and the the distance was, the the screening effectiveness was. The number of holes in a row had less effect on the screening effectiveness. However, the bigger the number of holes in a row was, the larger the screening zone behind barriers was.

    Chemical oxygen demand and suspended solid were important monitoring indices of effluent discharge in paper-making industry. An effective model of effluent quality of wastewater treatment processes was of key importance to monitoring and controlling pollution emission. Concerning the strong correlations among the input variables and the complicated characteristics of wastewater treatment processes in paper-making industry, partial least squares (PLS) method was applied to extract information of variables importance in projection (VIP) for variable selection (VS). Then the optimal variables were chosen as new input variables for soft sensor models to predict the effluent qualities of a papermaking wastewater treatment process. Compared to the LSSVM model, the root mean square error (RMSE) of VS-based LSSVM model was reduced by 15.2%, and the correlation coefficient (r) was increased by 14.4%. For the effluent SS, the value of RMSE was decreased by 20.5%, and the value of r was increased by 16.1%. The results showed that the proposed method not only reduced the model complexity, but also enhanced the model generalization capacity.
