The accumulator model proposed by Vickers and the modified random-walk model proposed by Link and Heath are compared in their ability to account for confidence judgments in line-length discrimination tasks. The random-walk model proves to be a viable alternative to the accumulator model, and is able to account for the relationship between mean response time and confidence. The parameter estimation techniques available for the random-walk model are considered advantageous when compared with the accumulator model, because the predictions from the latter have been obtained with the use of computer simulation.

Computer simulation was applied to study the inclusion behavior in the tundish with Lagrangian particle tracking model including both the deterministic and random walk model. Comparing with the experiment result, the prediction result revealed that random walk model obtained more accuracy than the deterministic walk model by considering the effect of turbulence fluctuation on the inclusion movement. The accuracy of inclusion motion simulation was determined by the turbulence model and boundary condition.

In this paper, the instantaneous availability of a system maintained under periodic inspection is investigated using random walk models. Two cases are considered. In the first model, the system is repaired or modified and it is assumed to be as good as new upon periodic inspection and maintenance. In the second model, the system is not modified after the inspection if the system is still working, and the condition of the system is assumed to be the same as that before the inspection. For both models the failures only can be found through the inspection. Perfect repair or replacement of a failed system is assumed to be carried out, but the time it takes can be constant or of a random length. The relationship between this problem and the random walk model in a two-dimensional plane is described. Several new results are also shown.

The objective is to predict and analyze the behaviors of users in the social network platform by using the personality theory and computational technologies, thereby acquiring the personality characteristics of social network users more effectively. First, social network data are analyzed, which finds that the type of text data marks the majority. By using data mining technology, the raw data of numerous social network users can be obtained. Based on the random walk model, the data information of the text status of social network users is analyzed, and a user personality prediction method integrating multi-label learning is proposed. In addition, the online social network platform Weibo is taken as the research object. The blog information of Weibo users is obtained through crawler technology. Then, the users are labeled in accordance with personality characteristics. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to evaluate the relation between the user personality characteristics and the user behavior characteristics of the Weibo users. The correlation between the network behaviors and personality characteristics of Weibo users is analyzed, and the scientificity of the prediction method is verified by the Big Five Model of Personality. By applying relevant technologies and algorithms of data mining and deep learning, the learning ability of neural networks on data characteristics can be improved. In terms of performance on analyzing text information of social network users, the user personality prediction method of integrated multi-label learning based on the random walk model has a large advantage. For the problem of personality prediction of social network users, through combining data mining technology and deep neural network technology in deep learning, the data processing results of social network user behaviors are more accurate.
