This paper discusses the application of the newly developed Mahalanobis distance-based ARTMAP (MART) network to the predication of sickle cell anemia patients’ response to Hydroxyurea treatment. Mahalanobis distance-based ARTMAP is a modified version of the Fuzzy ARTMAP networks where the activation and choice function are the same and equal to the Mahalanobis distance between the pattern and t...

While associations between concepts in our memory have different strengths, explicit strengths of links (edge weights) are missing in Linked Data. In order to build a collection of such edge weights, we created a web-game prototype that ranks triples by importance. In this paper we briefly describe the game, Linked Data preprocessing aspects, and the promising results of an evaluation of the game.

A substring Q of a string S is called a shortest unique substring (SUS) for position p in S, if Q occurs exactly once in S, this occurrence of Q contains position p, and every substring of S which contains position p and is shorter than Q occurs at least twice in S. The SUS problem is, given a string S, to preprocess S so that for any subsequent query position p all the SUSs for position p can ...

Arabic script is the third most widely used writing system after Latin and Chinese, but research in Arabic Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is still nascent in comparison to Latin script. Arabic script is inherently cursive in nature, therefore techniques developed for other scripts are generally inappropriate for Arabic. In this paper we present recent progress in the field of Handwritten A...

A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here.  The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

much attention has recently been paid to natural language processing in information storage and retrieval. this paper describes how the application of natural language processing ( nlp ) techniques can enhance cross-language information retrieval ( clir ). using a semi-experimental technique, we took farsi queries to retrieve relevant documents in english. for translating persian queries, we us...
