An alternative approach for the evaluation of the neocognitron

An Alternative Secondary Goal Approach to Modify Cross Efficiency Evaluation in Data Envelopment Analysis

The cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. One of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. We are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

A New Goal programming approach for cross efficiency evaluation

Cross efficiency evaluation was developed as an extension of DEA. But the traditional DEA models usually have alternative optimal solutions and, as a result, cross efficiency scores may not be unique. It is recommended that without changing the DEA efficiency scores, the secondary goal should be introduced for optimization of the inputs/outputs weights.  Several reports evaluated the perfo...

Evaluation of Two Neocognitron-type Models for Recognition of Rotated Patterns

We examine the number of cells and execution time taken to correctly recognize rotated patterns in two models: a rotation-invariant neocognitron (RNeocognitron) and a neocognitron-type model (TDR-Neocognitron) which recognizes rotated patterns by use of an associative recalled pattern. In numerical simulations handwritten patterns in CEDER database are used for training and evaluation of recogn...

The Primed In Situ (PRINS) Technique: An Alternative Approach for Preimplantation Chromosomal Diagnosis

A fuzzy group decision making approach to construction project risk management

Implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. This research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. To take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...
