A Novel Greedy Bayesian Network Structure Learning Algorithm for Limited Data
Existing algorithms for learning Bayesian network (BN) require a lot of computation on high dimensional itemsets, which affects accuracy especially on limited datasets and takes up a large amount of time. To alleviate the above problem, we propose a novel BN learning algorithm MRMRG, Max Relevance and Min Redundancy Greedy algorithm. MRMRG algorithm is a variant of K2 algorithm for learning BNs from limited datasets. MRMRG algorithm applies Max Relevance and Min Redundancy feature selection technique and proposes Local Bayesian Increment (LBI) function according to the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) formula and the likelihood property of overfitting. Experimental results show that MRMRG algorithm has much better efficiency and accuracy than most of existing BN learning algorithms when learning BNs from limited datasets.

Learning Bayesian Networks with Combination of MRMR Criterion and EMI Method
Currently, learning Bayesian Networks (BNs) from data has become a much attention-getting issue in fields of machine learning and data mining. While there exists few efficient algorithms for learning BNs in presence of incomplete data. In this paper, we present a scoring function based on mutual information for evaluating BN structures. To decrease computational complexity, we introduce MRMR criterion into the scoring function, which enables the computation of the scoring function to involve in only two-dimensional mutual information. When the dataset is incomplete, we use EMI method to estimate the Mutual Information (MI) from the incomplete dataset. As for whether a node ordering is manually given or not, we develop two versions of algorithms, named as MRMR- E1 and MRMR-E2 respectively and evaluate them through experiments. The experimental results on Alarm network show good accuracy and efficiency of our algorithms.

Networking Business Model In Regional Medical Service- Case of Chikamori Medical Group in Kochi, Japan
Japan's Health Care System has experienced a number of changes over the last half a century. And the most heated aspect of current health policy debate focuses on the potential radical reform of the medical care system. In addition, the regional medical service organizations are in front of a more severe challenge because of the rapidly aging population and decreasing young population. Consequently, hospitals and other NHS organizations in local areas have been required to introduce reforms in their management structure for their survival This paper reports in depth on a case study of a private Japanese hospital, the Chikamori medical group, to introduce a key competence-based management model and differentiation marketing strategy. As one of the regional medical care support hospitals, Chikamori plays an active and important role in the regional medical care network. The case implies the effective business model based on positioning in the network architecture, which is significant not only for medical service field but also for other regional industries. The mutual correlations among financial strategy, human resource design, managing policy and collaboration manner with regional doctors are discussed in the paper.

TARGET: Two-way Web Service Router Gateway
In this paper, we present the approach and architecture of TARGET: two-way Web service router gateway, for two-way Web service interaction crossing enterprise domain and firewall. It provides a full support for asynchronous outbound operation and event notification in communication services. TARGET addresses an acute issue for Internet applications that today's enterprise NATs and firewalls only allow outbound HTTP request from the inside to the outside and block any request from the outside to the inside, which is a serious problem for two-way Web services. TARGET is a generic solution to allow two-way Web service interaction to traverse legitimately through NATs and strictly configured firewalls; and it is based on two-way SOAP message tunneling, service local registry, and service routing to bridge two-way Web service interaction. A research TARGET system has been implemented and applied to real time communication services, e.g. conferencing. Extensive experiments on TARGET are performed, and its performance with various sizes of SOAP messages is studied. The applicability and feasibility of TARGET for two-way Web service interaction is verified

A Self-supervised Learning Framework for Classifying Microarray Gene Expression Data
It is important to develop computational methods that can effectively resolve two intrinsic problems in microarray data: high dimensionality and small sample size. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised learning framework for classifying microarray gene expression data using Kernel Discriminant-EM (KDEM) algorithm. This framework applies self-supervised learning techniques in an optimal nonlinear discriminating subspace. It efficiently utilizes a large set of unlabeled data to compensate for the insufficiency of a small set of labeled data and it extends linear algorithm in DEM to kernel algorithm to handle nonlinearly separable data in a lower dimensional space. Extensive experiments on the Plasmodium falciparum expression profiles show the promising performance of the approach.

The Performance Analysis of an Improved Robust Beamforming Algorithm
The conventional minimum variance beamformer (MVB) is known to have better resolution and much better interference rejection capability when the array steering vector is accurately known. However, the major problem of the MVB is that it lacks robustness against the unknown array steering vector errors. Therefore, diagonal loading and its extended versions have been a popular approach to improve the robustness of MVB. In this paper, we provide an improved robust MVB (RMVB) algorithm, which has been derived by enforcing a spherical uncertainty set constraint on the array steering vector. The new algorithm has reasonable computation complexity and more numerical stability. Simulation results show that the new algorithm is effective in the presence of array steering vector errors.
