This dissertation describes ESCAPE (Expert Systems in Computer Animation Production Environments), a multi-agent animation system for building domain-oriented, rulebased visual programming environments. Much recent work in computer graphics has been concerned with producing behavioural animations of artificial life-forms mainly based on algorithmic approaches. This research indicates how, by ad...

Our goal is to create computer systems that learn as easily as humans. As machines move closer to being observant and intelligent assistants for humans it is not enough that they rely on off-line models. They need to automatically acquire new knowledge as they are running, particularly by a single, natural demonstration. Current recognition systems need sophisticated models of both features and...

Studying spatial effects in signal transduction, such as colocalization along scaffold molecules, comes at a cost of complexity. In this paper, we propose a coarse-grained, particle-based spatial simulator, suited for large signal transduction models. Our approach is to combine the particle-based reaction and diffusion method, and (non-spatial) rulebased modeling: the location of each molecular...

Named Entity Recognition (NER), search, classification and tagging of names and name like informational elements in texts, has become a standard information extraction procedure for textual data during the last two decades. NER has been applied to many types of texts and different types of entities: newspapers, fiction, historical records, persons, locations, chemical compounds, protein familie...

Current inversion condition leads to incorrect operation of current based directional relay in power system with series compensated device. Application of the intelligent system for fault direction classification has been suggested in this paper. A new current directional protection scheme based on intelligent classifier is proposed for the series compensated line. The proposed classifier uses ...

A new technique presents to improve the performance of dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) for voltage sag mitigation. This control scheme is based on cuckoo search algorithm with tree fuzzy rule based classifier (CSA-TFRC). CSA is used for optimizing the output of TFRC so the classification output of the network is enhanced. While, the combination of cuckoo search algorithm, fuzzy and decision tree...

This paper introduces new similarity classifiers using the Heronian mean, and the generalized Heronian mean operators. We examine the use of these operators at the aggregation step within the similarity classifier. The similarity classifier was earlier studied with other operators, in particular with an arithmetic mean, generalized mean, OWA operators, and many more. The two classifiers here ar...
