In this paper, a watermark embedding method, using amplitude modulation technique, based on Gaussian pixel-weighting marks was proposed. The method utilized a technique of weighting marks by averaging the luminance of its own pixel and its neighboring pixels, and used it as an additional scaling factor in the existing watermark embedding methods, The watermark retrieval process was borrowed fro...

Traditional text classification methods utilize term frequency (tf) and inverse document frequency (idf) as the main method for information retrieval. Term weighting has been applied to achieve high performance in text classification. Although TFIDF is a popular method, it is not using class information. This paper provides an improved approach for supervised weighting in the TFIDF model. The t...

Attribute weighting is a task of paramount relevance in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). Over the years, different approaches have been developed to face this problem. Despite effort community, there lack consensus on which method most suitable one for given problem instance. This paper second part two-part survey attribute methods MADM scenarios. The first introduced categorization five...

Indexing of cases is an important topic for MemoryBased Reasoning(MBR). One key problem is how assign weights to attributes of cases. Although several weighting methods have been proposed, some methods cannot handle numeric attributes directly, so it is necessary to discretize numeric values by classification. Furthermore, existing methods have no theoretical background, so little can be said a...

The paper describes a comparative study of existing and novel text preprocessing and classification techniques for domain detection of user utterances. Two corpora are considered. The first one contains customer calls to a call centre for further call routing; the second one contains answers of call centre employees with different kinds of customer orientation behaviour. Seven different unsuper...

BACKGROUND Similarity-based retrieval of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) from large clinical information systems provides physicians the evidence support in making diagnoses or referring examinations for the suspected cases. Clinical Terms in EHRs represent high-level conceptual information and the similarity measure established based on these terms reflects the chance of inter-patient disease...

A primary concern when using local search methods for CNF satis ability is how to get rid of local minimas. Among many other heuristics, Weighting by Morris (1993) and Selman and Kautz (1993) works overwhelmingly better than others (Cha and Iwama 1995). Weighting increases the weight of each clause which is unsatis ed at a local minima. This paper introduces a more sophisticated weighting strat...
