The analysis of execution traces is a common practice in the context of software understanding. A major issue during this task is scalability, as the massive amounts of data often make the comprehension process difficult. A significant portion of this data overload can be attributed to repetitions that are caused by, for example, iterations in the software’s source code. In this position paper,...

Copyright © Polskie Towarzystwo Kardiologiczne INTRODUCTION Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and atherothrombosis have long been considered to be separate entities with distinct pathogenic mechanisms. The traditional rationale for this concept has been based on: (1) pathologic data showing platelet-rich thrombi in the arteries in...

In this article we present an approach to the automatic discovery of term similarities, which may serve as a basis for a number of term-oriented knowledge mining tasks. The method for term comparison combines internal (lexical similarity) and two types of external criteria (syntactic and contextual similarities). Lexical similarity is based on sharing lexical constituents (i.e. term heads and m...

We define quantitative similarity functions between timed transition systems that measure the degree of closeness of two systems as a real, in contrast to the traditional boolean yes/no approach to timed simulation and language inclusion. Two systems are close if for each timed trace of one system, there exists a corresponding timed trace in the other system with the same sequence of events and...

In this paper we present a method for the automatic discovery and tuning of term similarities. The method is based on the automatic extraction of significant patterns in which terms tend to appear. Beside that, we use lexical and functional similarities between terms to define a hybrid similarity measure as a linear combination of the three similarities. We then present a genetic algorithm appr...

Although dental caries experience clearly follows family line, information on sibling resemblance in the DMFT is surprisingly scarce. The most extensive sibling comparisons involve a limited number of boys and girls analyzed with respect to parental DMFT (RINGELBERG, MATONSKI, and KIMBALL, J Public Health Dent 34: 174180, 1974). In the present study, we have examined DMFT data from the Ten-Stat...

The use of similarities has been one of the main approaches to resolve the ambiguities of coordinate structures. In this paper, we present an alternative method for coordination disambiguation, which does not use similarities. Our hypothesis is that coordinate structures are supported by surrounding dependency relations, and that such dependency relations rather yield similarity between conjunc...

Redundant source code hinders software maintenance, since updates have to be performed in multiple places. This holds independent of whether redundancy was created by copy&paste or by independent development of behaviorally similar code. Existing clone detection tools successfully discover syntactically similar redundant code. They thus work well for redundancy that has been created by copy&pas...
