  • An Ising-Machine-Based Solver of Vehicle Routing Problem With Balanced Pick-Up

    Siya Bao, Masashi Tawada, Shu Tanaka, Nozomu Togawa

    IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics    2023

     View Summary

    Vehicle routing applications are ubiquitous in the field of pick-up and delivery service. We focus on the vehicle routing problem with balanced pick-up called VRPBP which originates from the package pick-up service. The aim of the problem is not only to efficiently explore the shortest travel route but also to balance loads between depots and vehicles. These problems can be regarded as optimization problems, and recent developments in Ising machines, including quantum annealing machines, bring us a new opportunity to solve complex real-world optimization problems. In this paper, a two-phase method and a three-phase method using Ising machines are proposed for solving the VRPBP. As the applicability of current Ising machines is limited due to the small size of Ising spins and connectivities, we partition the complex problem into two or three sub-problems, and the key elements of each sub-problem are mapped onto quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) models to fit in the structure of the Ising machines. We first compared the performances of the Ising machine on the standard TSP and CVRP datasets with a conventional state-of-the-art solver and three conventional methods. Then, we evaluated the performances of the proposed methods compared with five conventional method for solving the VRPBP. The results confirm the effectiveness of the two proposed methods in solving vehicle-routing-related optimization problems.

     View Summary

    An earnings announcement report (EAR) contains the latest information about a company's financial situation and operating performance. Short-term stock price reacts strongly to such information. In this paper, to gain investment return from the short-term price reaction to EARs, we use 28 important variables from EARs and propose an ML-based trading strategy (MLTS) with random forest (RF). Results show that our strategy achieves the highest final investment return of 178.1%.

  • Document-level sentiment classification in japanese by stem-based segmentation with category and data-source information

    © 2020 IEEE. Existing studies focus on text information while ignoring category and data source information, both of which are verified to be important in interpreting sentiments in travel comments in this paper. Furthermore, the unique linguistic characteristics of Japanese cause difficulty in applying the conventional token-based word segmentation methods to Japanese comments directly. In this paper, we propose a method of stem-based segmentation based on Japanese linguistic characteristics and incorporate it with category and data source information into a hierarchical network model for document-level sentiment classification. Empirical results of our proposed model outperform existing models on a real-world dataset.

  • Landmark Seasonal Travel Distribution and Activity Prediction Based on Language-specific Analysis

    Proceedings - 2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data, Big Data 2018     3628 - 3637  2019.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2018 IEEE. Online media communities have globally spanned and have increasingly accelerated the development of intelligent travel recommendation systems in both academic and industrial fields. However, there is a bottleneck that differences in users' seasonal travel distributions (when to visit) in various language groups are ignored. This paper proposes a seasonal activity prediction algorithm based on user comments over the period of 2012 to 2017 in different language groups. We take the advantage of online user comments which provide visiting time for each landmark and detailed activity description. With the accumulation of 417,787 user comments on TripAdvisor for 300 landmarks in three big cities, we analyze the language-specific differences in travel distributions. After that, prediction of future travel distribution for each language group is generated. Then potential peak and off seasons of each landmark are distinguished and representative seasonal activities are extracted through comment contents for peak and off seasons, respectively. Experimental results in the three cities show that the proposed algorithm is more accurate in terms of peak season detection and seasonal activity prediction than previous studies.

     View Summary

    © 2018 IEEE. This paper proposes a personalized landmark recommendation algorithm based on the prediction of users' satisfaction on landmarks. We have accumulated 270,239 user-generated comments from travel websites of Ctrip, Jaran and TripAdvisor for 196 landmarks in Tokyo, Japan. We find that users do have different satisfaction on landmarks depending on their commonly used languages and travel websites. Then we establish a database for landmarks with abundant and accurate landmark type and landmark satisfaction information. Finally, we propose an effective personalized landmark satisfaction prediction algorithm based on users' landmark type, language and travel website preferences. After that, landmarks with the top-6 highest satisfaction are provided to the user for a one-day visit plan in Tokyo. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can recommend landmarks that fit the user's preferences and our algorithm also successfully predicts the user's landmark satisfaction with a low error rate less than 7%, which is superior to other previous studies.

We investigate quantities and types of road lights and landmarks with a large set of roads in real environments and reorganize them into two safety classes, safe or unsafe, with seven road attributes. Then we carry out data learning using three types of datasets according to different groups of the road attributes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method successfully classifies a set of roads with seven attributes into safe ones and unsafe ones with the accuracy of more than 85%, which is superior to other machine-learning based methods and a manual-based method.

  • A safe and comprehensive route finding algorithm for pedestrians based on lighting and landmark conditions

    Siya Bao, Tomoyuki Nitta, Masao Yanagisawa, Nozomu Togawa

    IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences   E100A ( 11 ) 2439 - 2450  2017.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Copyright © 2017 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers. In this paper, we propose a safe and comprehensive route finding algorithm for pedestrians based on lighting and landmark conditions. Safety and comprehensiveness can be predicted by the five possible indicators: (1) lighting conditions, (2) landmark visibility, (3) landmark effectiveness, (4) turning counts along a route, and (5) road widths. We first investigate impacts of these five indicators on pedestrians' perceptions on safety and comprehensiveness during route findings. After that, a route finding algorithm is proposed for pedestrians. In the algorithm, we design the score based on the indicators (1), (2), (3), and (5) above and also introduce a turning count reduction strategy for the indicator (4). Thus we find out a safe and comprehensive route through them. In particular, we design daytime score and nighttime score differently and find out an appropriate route depending on the time periods. Experimental simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm obtains higher scores compared to several existing algorithms. We also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to find out safe and comprehensive routes for pedestrians in real environments in accordance with questionnaire results.

  • Document-level Sentiment Classification in Japanese Travel Comments of Heterogeneous Sources

    2020  

     View Summary

     A user's travel satisfaction is directly and explicitly reflected in their comments compared with the other types of travelogues such as GPS trajectory and check-in data. In this advantage of user comments, it is aiming at shedding lights on determinants of travel satisfaction to serve personalized travel route recommendation. To obtain a large dataset, 479,799 user comments are collected in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Sapporo from three travel websites including TripAdvisor, Jaran, and Ctrip. Prior works have been elaborated on data-source-specific and language-specific analysis. It is found that landmark coverages vary among different websites and users have diverse satisfaction on landmarks depending on their frequently used languages and travel websites. With those findings, a personalized travel route recommendation algorithm is proposed that (1) recommends top-6 personalized landmarks and (2) generates a realistic travel route for a one-day visit. Experimental results confirm the advantages of the proposed algorithm beyond previous studies from the viewpoints of landmark recommendation precision and travel time optimization.
