when any extraordinary sacrifice or expenditure is intentionally and reasonably made or incurred for the common safety for the purpose of preserving from peril, the property (ship and cargoes) involved in a common maritime adventure, the interests saved , are required to make contributions in general average to the owner of lost or damaged property . general average rules originates from ancien...

In this paper we propose a unification method in order to be able to checking what fusion theory, what combination fusion rule, and what filtering method to use for data fusion, image fusion, and target tracking for each military application. We thus try to solving air force problems using a combination of fusion theories, rules, and target tracking algorithms. Introduction. We focus on four to...

This paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. Since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. These features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...

This paper compares two techniques for robust parsing of extragrammatical natural language. Both are based on well-known approaches; one selects the optimal combination of partial analyses, the other relaxes grammar rules. Both techniques use a stochastic parser to select the “best” solution among multiple analyses. Experimental results show that regardless of the grammar, the best results are ...

This paper proposes two techniques for fast sequential labeling such as part-of-speech (POS) tagging and text chunking. The first technique is a boosting-based algorithm that learns rules represented by combination of features. To avoid time-consuming evaluation of combination, we divide features into not used ones and used ones for learning combination. The other is a rule representation. Usua...

This paper describes a method of belief learning in certainty factor model and applied to a task of text categorization. Our method uses a multiplicative update algorithm to perform the belief learning of rules and predicts by a certainty (plausible) inference mechanism. The key difference between our method and Sleepingexperts algorithms is that we use the rule’s combination functions instead ...

This paper addresses the problem of merging uncertain information in the framework of possibilistic logic. It presents several syntactic combination rules to merge possibilistic knowledge bases, provided by different sources, into a new possibilistic knowledge base. These combination rules are first described at the meta-level outside the language of possibilistic logic. Next, an extension of p...

This paper presents a Web editor (RAWE: Rules Advanced Web Editor) for marking up legal rules starting from legally binding texts. The Web editor exploits the legal information embedded in the Akoma Ntoso markup, in combination with and XML techniques, so as to help the legal-knowledge engineer model legal rules and convert them into LegalRuleML, an OASIS XML standard candidate.
