A Flexible and Customizable Method for Assessing Cognitive Abilities

Assessing Cognitive Abilities: Intelligence and More

In modern cognitive science, rationality and intelligence are measured using different tasks and operations. Furthermore, in several contemporary dual process theories of cognition, rationality is a more encompassing construct than intelligence. Researchers need to continue to develop measures of rational thought without regard to empirical correlations with intelligence. The measurement of ind...

Assessing the Cognitive Abilities of Alternate Learning Classifier System Architectures

Ageing, Cognitive Abilities and Retirement Ageing, Cognitive Abilities and Retirement *

We investigate the relationship between ageing, cognitive abilities and retirement using the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a household panel that offers the possibility of comparing several European countries using nationally representative samples of the population aged 50+. The human capital framework suggests that retirement may cause an increase in cognitive dec...

Flexible and Customizable NL Representation of Requirements for ETL processes

The design of an Extract – Transform – Load (ETL) workflow for the population of a Data Warehouse is a complex and challenging procedure. In previous work, we have presented an ontology-based approach to facilitate the conceptual design of an ETL scenario. In this paper, we elaborate on this work, by investigating the application of Natural Language (NL) techniques to the ETL environment and we...

A New Fuzzy Method for Assessing Six Sigma Measures

Six-Sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. In most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. In this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Defects per Opportunity (DPO), Defects per unit (DPU) and Yield, a new algorithm ba...
