These include balanced label propagation [81], label hop attenuation [44] and propagation preference-based approaches [49].
To some extent, our solution is similar to the Opportunistic Resource Exchange model, but we use a different propagation manner, a user-preference training-based probability model because of different application requirements.
These parameters are dissimilarity cutting threshold for the hierarchical method, global preference parameter for affinity propagation, and P e for our method.
In SSIM, a larger preference value of affinity propagation [ 27] means that every gene is more likely to be an exemplar of a module (module center), which would produce a large number of modules composed of highly similar genes in terms of integrated similarity and allow us to view the system in detail.
Different from the conventional K-means clustering [21], the basic idea of our proposed affinity propagation clustering algorithm is to use the preference (p) to label the RPs and the RPs with larger preference are more likely to be selected as the cluster centers.
For the optimization of clusters' searching, it is used a preference vector that flags affinity propagation with M-N points that are the possible best candidates to be the lithological classes representatives.
However, because users actually have different preferences on topics, such a uniform propagation can result in inaccurate results.
Herein, a proper representation is needed to merge preferences from each perspective, enabling their propagation, throughout an organizational structure until the level in which a decision is made.
The proposed similarity propagation approach based on heterogeneous networks analyzes users' preferences from multi-perspectives by combining several types of information, which overcomes the drawbacks and disadvantages caused by single information source.
Data of high frequency gravity wave propagation direction from globally distributed stations indicate a meridional preference of mesospheric gravity waves to be globally oriented toward the summer pole.
The physical attributes and courtship rituals involved in mate preference are essential for reproductive fitness and propagation of a species.
