Due to the wide availability of social media and the wide range of real-life and human-centered applications, social networks have become an attractive research area. However, the temporal aspect of relations between entities in a social network has been widely ignored. We argue that the temporal aspect of social networks is the key to understand interactions and other phenomena happening in th...

The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate the performance of a possibility based classifier which implements dynamic pattern recognition. The objectives of the paper are: 1) to detail the working of a Massively Parallel Fuzzy System (MPFS) which can be used to classify two spiral data; 2) to develop and detail the dynamic pattern recognition approach; and 3) to discuss the results obtained. ...

We perform time-resolved calculations of the information transmitted about visual patterns by neurons in primary visual and inferior temporal cortices. All measurable information is carried in an eeective time-varying ring rate, obtained by averaging the neuronal response with a resolution no ner than about 25 ms in primary visual cortex and around twice that in inferior temporal cortex. We fou...

Dynamic scenes with many different objects and interrelations changing over time demand complex representations. The identification of frequent patterns and prediction rules in such scenes would be very valuable as associations in the data could be discovered or a system’s performance could even be improved by utilizing the new information in the behavior decision process. In this work, a novel...

Lois Childs discussed GE's efforts to extract temporal expressions from text through the identification of relevant patterns . The Shogun system used 37 patterns in English, and 7 for Japanese . Patterns wer e context dependent, and referenced a dateline in order to handle relative time . The patterns were able to perform temporal calculations, and the system computed a temporal structure from ...

A temporal database is a collection of transactions, ordered by their timestamps. Discovering periodic patterns in temporal databases has numerous applications. However, to the best of our knowledge, no work has considered mining periodic patterns in temporal databases where items have dissimilar support and periodicity, despite that this type of data is very common in real-life. Discovering pe...

The human brain is a complex system consist of connected nerve cells that adapts with and learn from the environment by changing its regional activities. Synchrony between these regional activities called functional network changes during the life, and with learning of new skills. Time perception and interval discrimination are among the most necessary skills for the human being to perceive mot...

Gas chromatographic (GC) profiles of cuticular hydrocarbon extracts obtained from individual and pooled ant samples were analyzed using pattern recognition techniques. Clustering according to the biological variables of social caste and colony were observed. Pooling individual extracts enhanced the recognition of patterns in the GC profile data characteristic of colony. Evidently, the contribut...

The 16-channel EEG records of 45 adolescents with schizophrenia and 39 healthy adolescents were subjected to statistical combinatorial analysis of 160 elementary EEG characteristics (6 spectral and 4 segmental EEG characteristics for a channel). Employing pattern recognition algorithm "Kora-n", a list of 37 combined EEG patterns was compiled. This list characterized with a minimal error the EEG...
