Background. There is a weakness that the win-loss ranking model in the MLB now is calculated based on the result of a win-loss game, so we assume that a ranking system considering the opponent’s team performance is necessary. Objectives. This study aims to suggest the PageRank algorithm to complement the problem with ranking calculated with winning ratio in calculating team ranking of US MLB. ...

This paper analyzes music charts of an online music distributor. In music charts, the digital music provider displays a daily ranking of 1st ~ 100th and a weekly ranking of 1st ~ 1,000th songs on its website. And the ranking of each song is assigned based on streaming volumes and download volumes. This paper studies how the online music distributor should set its ranking policy to maximize the ...

We present a novel approach for language identification based on a text categorization technique, namely an n-gram frequency ranking. We use a Parallel phone recognizer, the same as in PPRLM, but instead of the language model, we create a ranking with the most frequent n-grams, keeping only a fraction of them. Then we compute the distance between the input sentence ranking and each language ran...

Ranking function is instrumental in affecting the performance of a search engine. Designing and optimizing a search engine’s ranking function remains a daunting task for computer and information scientists. Recently, genetic programming (GP), a machine learning technique based on evolutionary theory, has shown promise in tackling this very difficult problem. Ranking functions discovered by GP h...

Ranking data has applications in different fields of studies, like marketing, psychology and politics. Over the years, many models for ranking data have been developed. Among them, distance-based rankingmodels, which originate from the classical rank correlations, postulate that the probability of observing a ranking of items depends on the distance between the observed ranking and a modal rank...

‎in this paper, we present a two-stage model for ranking of decision making units (dmus) using interval analytic hierarchy process (ahp). since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to the efficient units, we evaluate the efficiency of each dmu by basic dea models and calculate the weights of the criteria using proposed model. in the first stage, the proposed model evaluates decision making...

due to increasing importance of desertification challenges and its consequences the necessity of sustainabledevelopment achievement in arid and semi-arid regions is essential in order to avoid limited sources asting, increase the efficiency of controlling, reclamation and restoration projects of natural areas. based on the iterature review, it has been recognized that combating desertification ...

BACKGROUND the working memory is a cognitive skill that contributes to adequate development of language and to the acquisition of reading and writing. A consistent evaluation of the working memory in pre-school and basic school children demonstrates to be important for the early identification of possible learning impairments. AIM to evaluate the development of working memory along the first ...
