Topological Influence-Aware Recommendation on Social Networks by Zhaoyi Li, Fei Xiong, Ximeng Wang, Hongshu Chen, Xi Xiong

“…Experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework performs better than other state-of-the-art methods for all users and cold-start users. Compared with node degrees, betweenness, and clustering coefficients, coreness constitutes the best topological descriptor to identify users’ local influence, and recommendations with the measure of coreness outperform other descriptors of user influence.…”

Estimation of the Leaf Area Index of Field Plants Based on Multi-Resolution Point Cloud Phenotype Reconstruction by Long Yangyang, Zhou Zhongfa, Zhao Xin, Zhang Tian, Peng Ruiwen, Wu Guijie, Zheng Jiajia, Chen Linlin

“…The calculation results of the four spatial resolution models were compared with those of the hemispheric images, yielding coefficients of determination R² of 0.959, 0.931, 0.967, and 0.985; the relative errors RE were 11.87%, 19.74%, 14.96%, and 11.79%; the root mean square errors (RMSE) were 0.150, 0.195, 0.136, and 0.094; and the rRMSE values were 20.81%, 26.97%, 18.87%, and 13.10%. (2) Of the four spatial resolutions, the three-dimensional point cloud model with the highest calculation accuracy (87.29%) had 2.15 cm spatial resolution. (3) The results of the leaf area calculation at the plot scale showed that the calculation results of the four three-dimensional point cloud models were all within 0.05 of the hemispheric image calculation results, and the 2.15 cm spatial resolution model showed the best calculation accuracy, 94.24%. (4) Therefore, it is feasible, accurate, and efficient to obtain orthophotos through UAV photogrammetry, match feature points, and build a three-dimensional point cloud phenotype model to calculate the leaf area index of field plants. …”
