El-Jardali and Fadllallah provide an excellent summary of the many dimensions of knowledge use, and the breath of issues and activities that must be considered if knowledge is to be put into practice. However, reliance on a continuum (rather than a cyclical, multidirectional, systems) model creates a number of limitations, particularly when promoting evidence-informed action in the areas of hea...

The present study deals with conflict resolution process in metaphorical interpretation for the noun phrase. In order to make the problem mbre explicit, we have reviewed the knowledge representation with conflict both from cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence. Then, we propose a semantic model which is obtained from the notion of Linguistics as Chemistry. That is, the model called "...

This paper presents an algorithm for discovering conjunction rules with high reliability from data sets. The discovery of conjunction rules, each of which is a restricted form of a production rule, is well motivated by various useflll applications such as semantic query optimization and automatic development of a knowledge base. In a discovery algorithm, a production rule is evaluated according...

BACKGROUND Knowledge production and evaluation are two important functions of health research system (HRS). In this article, we aimed to reveal the correlation between evaluation of health research organizations and health knowledge production promotion. METHODS A comprehensive evaluation system was developed to evaluate the academic performance of national medical science universities on an ...

Neurules are a kind of hybrid rules integrating neurocomputing and production rules. Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. Thus, the corresponding neurule base consists of a number of autonomous adaline units (neurules). Due to this fact, a modular and natural knowledge base is constructed, in contrast to existing connectionist knowledge bases. In this paper, we present a method for g...

In this paper a Poincaré approach to pitch mark determination is presented. While speech has been interpreted in terms of nonlinear systems theory for quite some time, not much effort has been made to exploit this knowledge in the problem of pitch mark detection. This algorithm uses nonlinear state space embedding and calculates the Poincaré section at a chosen point in state space, pitch-marks...

We are developing an intelligent approach of motion picture generation for desktop software system EMM (Electronic MovieMaker) that aims at automating the production of digital movies with various visual effects like three-dimensional animation, real image, and their composition. This paper describes our efforts focusing on automatic synthesis of character animation and automatic video retrieva...
