In this paper, we propose a novel Rhetorical Structure Index (RSI) to measure the structural importance of a word or a phrase. Unlike TF-IDF and other content-driven measurements, RSI identifies words or phrases that are structural cues in an unstructured document. We show structurally motivated features with high RSI values are more useful than content-driven features for applications such as ...

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...

Case-Based Reasoning systems retrieve cases using a similarity function based on the K-NN or some derivatives. These functions are sensitive to irrelevant, interacting or noisy features. Many similarity functions weigh the relevance of features to avoid this problem. This article proposes two weighting methods based on Rough Sets theory: Proportional Rough Sets and Dependence Rough Sets. Both w...

label switching technology is a flexible and high performance method for forwarding layer three packets that are mapped to layer two flows. each label switch router, lsr, needs a specific label for every flow, where the number of labels depends on the mapping and granularity of flows. data and control driven methods are the most significant and popular methods in label mapping policy. the above...
