Abstract: Hypercube is a novel viewport management and information visualization system proposal that introduces three applications (called WorkScenes), focusing on interaction, immersive reading, data exploration, analysis, and visualization concepts. After presenting the conceptual description, interaction metaphors, and the prototype in a previous publication, this article presents HyperRelational and HyperAnalyzer, the WorkScenes focused on multidimensional data exploration, analysis, and visualization. First, the manuscript explores previous work on Human-Computer Interaction-related disciplines, such as cognitive psychology, cognitive engineering, and neuroscience. Then, we introduce HyperRelational and HyperAnalyzer, focusing on their fundamental concepts 1) Geometrical visualization; 2) mapping relationships among information as spatial dimensions. Also, the Screenshots help illustrate the mentioned concepts. Finally, the “Results and Discussion” section demonstrates how these features integrate with the flow, presence, and immersion of Virtual Reality, fit Shneiderman’s visual-information-seeking mantra and solve some desktop metaphor-related issues. Additionally, we present test results conducted with 26 participants that show an acceptability rate of 74% amongst users and highlight their positive feedback/experience regarding HyperAnalyzer. On the other hand, the System Usability Scale (SUS) evaluation scored 60.6731. The score demonstrates that HyperAnalyser scored a little better than Microsoft Excel. Therefore, we conclude that the concepts presented here are viable, but it is still necessary to evolve usability to make HyperCube commercially viable.

Abstract: Due to the climate crisis and the improvement of public transportation networks, countries around the world are strongly advocating the low-carbon traveling mode. Shared bike as a new business model has a positive impact on the urban environment and transportation. The ability to estimate the hourly demand for bike sharing with high accuracy is essential for metropolis to offer stable bike rental services. Presently, data mining and predictive analysis technology can be utilized to realize the forecast of the hourly demand of shared bicycles. Data used in this article include the Seoul bike rented count dataset and weather information. This paper discusses various machine learning models for rental bike demand prediction, including Linear Regression, Ridge Regression, Lasso Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Decision Tree Regression, Support Vectors Machine, and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree. Different parameter tuning methods have been applied to improve the performance of basic predictive models. In addition, the redundant and irrelevant features have been removed to improve the performance of each basic model. After evaluating the individual basic predictors, several competent basic predictors are selected to compose a stacking-based ensemble model. Experimental results show that the stacking-based ensemble model outperforms the basic predictive models in all indicators.

Abstract: As one of the leading researches focusing on modern economics, real estate industry not only affects people's well-being but also has a close relationship with the national economy and social stability. Nevertheless, there are numerous complex factors that influence real estate prices, which makes house price forecasting remain a classic and challenging problem in the field of data analysis. The development of data mining and machine learning has greatly facilitated the analysis and extraction of useful information from complex data sets and the building of models to make predictions. In this study, a stacking-based ensemble model is proposed to identify potential links between property prices and various factors so that the more accurate prediction of property prices can be made. Some base predictive models, including linear regression, support vector regression, ridge regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, machine language programs, random forest regression, and gradient boosting regression are trained to individually predict the estate price in the experiment. Then, the stacking-based ensemble model is obtained by integrating competent base predictive models and optimized using Grid search. The experimental outcomes indicate that the proposed model is superior to base predictive models and can be more accurate in predicting house prices.

Abstract: The ideological and political education in universities has shifted from political courses to professional courses, and from teacher ideological and political education to full staff ideological and political education. Many departments and individuals at Beijing University of Technology have accumulated a certain amount of ideological and political resources. In order to achieve more centralized management and greater sharing of dispersed ideological and political resources, and to make ideological and political achievements more widely applied, the school needs an ideological and political resource service system. The establishment of a system helps to strengthen the management of ideological and political resources in schools and enhance individuals' knowledge level of ideological and political resources. It is crucial to implement a standardized and practical system and connect it with the ideological and political resources of different departments and individuals. This article focuses on the requirements analysis section of the ideological and political resource system, as requirements analysis is the cornerstone of almost all software design and development processes. Without a complete process of requirements research, analysis, and modeling, it is impossible to construct the basic architecture and functions of the software, resulting in the final designed software not meeting the user's usage requirements. A good requirement analysis will enable developers to have a more accurate understanding of the specific functions of the system, arrange development time and schedule, and thereby improve the usability of the system and the completion efficiency of developers. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the ideological and political resource service system from both functional and non-functional aspects, laying a solid foundation for subsequent design and implementation of the system.

Abstract: In the era of homogenization of digital resources, special collection resources are the most characteristic and personalized resource system in all kinds of resource systems of university libraries. The complexity and particularity of special collection resources in terms of collection form, expression form, and service form, as well as the current situation of "valuing collection over utilization" and the weak radiation of promotion services, are not in line with their functional value. There is an urgent need for creative transformation and innovative development. With the development of the era of intelligent media and the application of technology, the construction and service of special collection resources in libraries are facing the test of transformation and innovation. Digital humanities and intelligent media empowerment bring new opportunities for the construction of special collection resources in colleges and universities. Through artificial intelligence, VR technology, AR technology and other intelligent media to drive the construction of knowledge system, let the special collection resources "live", from the perspective of resource construction, space reconstruction and perceptual experience, let the special collection be revitalized in the era of intelligent media. Libraries need to continuously expand their new media services, integrate technology, resources and networks into the construction and services of special collections, further effectively innovate the functions of special collection resources and unleash social value, achieve leapfrog development of library intelligent media empowerment and special collection construction and services, and achieve the co-creation of cultural special collection services and user value in intelligent media libraries.
