At present, the non-intrusive load decomposition method for low-frequency sampling data is as yet insufficient within context of generalization performance, failing to meet accuracy requirements when applied novel scenarios. To address this issue, a based on instance-batch normalization network proposed. This uses an encoder-decoder structure with attention mechanism, in which skip connections ...

With the proliferation of relational database programs for PCs and other platforms, many business end-users are creating, maintaining, and querying their own databases. More importantly, business end-users use the output of these queries as the basis for operational, tactical, and strategic decisions. Inaccurate data reduce the expected quality of these decisions. Implementing various input val...

Cohort normalization is a method for normalizing the scores in speaker verification in order to reduce undesirable variation arising from acoustically mismatched conditions. A particular form of cohort normalization, unconstrained cohort normalization (UCN) is addressed in this study. The UCN method has been shown to give excellent results but its major drawback is the huge computational load a...

Ensuring Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) is the most popular way to remove redundancy and anomalies from datasets. Normalization to BCNF forces functional dependencies (FDs) into keys and foreign keys, which eliminates duplicate values and makes data constraints explicit. Despite being well researched in theory, converting the schema of an existing dataset into BCNF is still a complex, manual tas...

DNA microarrays are a powerful technology for analysis of gene expression levels within cells. Both the cDNA and oligonucleotide technologies for microarrays are fairly young and are prone to a broad collection of errors and inaccuracies [KYML02]. In this paper we briefly discuss some sources of error and detail a variety of methods for normalizing the data with respect to some of these error s...

Defending networks against today's attackers is especially challenging for modern intrusion detection/prevention systems for two reasons: the sheer amount of state they must maintain, and the possibility of resource exhaustion attacks on the defense system itself. Our work shows how to cope with these challenges in the context of a TCP stream normalizer whose job is to detect all instances of i...

The time-varying elastance concept provides a comprehensive description of the intrinsic mechanical properties of the left ventricle that are assumed to be load independent. Based on pressure-volume measurements obtained with combined pressure conductance catheterization in six open-chest anesthetized sheep, we show that the time to reach end systole (defined as maximal elastance) is progressiv...
