Profit Maximization Based on Customer Satisfaction Level in a Multi- Layer Multi-Product Supply Chain

This paper concerns with a mathematical model considering customer satisfaction requirements in a supply chain. The model tradeoffs the supply chain ability to fulfill the customers’ requirements and the limited budget in a variety of production phases. The decisions made here help to determine the profit provider price and economic quantity while the effective supplier and priori requireme...

Sparse multi-class prediction based on the Group Lasso in multinomial logistic regression

2 3 Preface Many classification procedures are based on variable selection methodologies. This master thesis concentrates on continuous variable selection procedures based on the shrinkage principle. Generally, we would like to find sparse prediction rules for multi-class classification problems such that in increases the prediction accuracy but also the interpretability of the obtained predict...

Fusion of Thermal Infrared and Visible Images Based on Multi-scale Transform and Sparse Representation

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...

Multi-modal Target Prediction

Users with severe motor impairment often depends on alternative input devices like eye-gaze or head movement trackers to access computers. However these devices are not as fast as computer mouse and often turn difficult to use. We have proposed a Neural-network based model that can predict pointing target by analyzing pointing trajectory. We have validated the model for standard computer mouse,...
