In [1], Aha et al. introduced a framework and methodology for machine learning, which is instances-based learning. They defined a set of rules for nearest neighbor algorithms and extended them. These algorithms are still in use for knearest neighbor classifier, which is very much related with my topic “similarity search”. In [2], Galper et al. described the similarity search and proposed a dyna...

IrisNet introduce two tire architecture called sensing agents (SA) and organizing agents (OA). SAs implement a generic data acquisition interface which allow to access different sensors. SAs collect raw sensor data from several sensors. A sensor host receives one or more raw sensor feeds from directly attached sensors and stores them in circular shared memory buffers. Multiple services can shar...

There are a number of application areas in which we want to hide information or to stop someone else from doing so. These include steganography, copyright marking, the study of covert channels in operating systems, lowprobability-of-intercept communications, and the study of subliminal channels in digital signature schemes. There follow abstracts of material from number of relevant publications...

Current paper presents the results of a two-year project during which a consortium of the University of Szeged and the MorphoLogic Ltd. Budapest developed a morpho-syntactically parsed and annotated (disambiguated) corpus for Hungarian. For morpho-syntactic encoding, the Hungarian version of MSD (MorphoSyntactic Description) has been used. The corpus contains texts of five different topic areas...

Annotated pushdown automata provide an automaton model of higher-order recursion schemes, which may in turn be used to model higher-order programs for the purposes of verification. We study Ground Annotated Stack Tree Rewrite Systems – a tree rewrite system where each node is labelled by the configuration of an annotated pushdown automaton. This allows the modelling of fork and join constructs ...

This paper presents EASY, which has been the first campaign evaluating syntactic parsers on all the common syntactic phenomena and a large set of dependency relations. During this campaign, an annotation scheme has been elaborated with the different actors: participants and corpus providers, then a corpus made of several syntactic materials has been built and annotated. Both corpus and annotati...

This book by a philosophy professor examines the moral, legal, psychological, and sociological impact of reproductive technologies from an orthodox Roman Catholic perspective. Definitions of and positions on marriage and parenthood, procreation, the family, specific assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), and surrogate motherhood are based primarily on teachings and principles contained in t...

Devore, E. E., J. H. Kang, et al. (2012). "Dietary intakes of berries and flavonoids in relation to cognitive decline." Annals of Neurology: n/a-n/a. Objective: Berries are high in flavonoids, especially anthocyanidins, and improve cognition in experimental studies. We prospectively evaluated whether greater long-term intakes of berries and flavonoids are associated with slower rates of cogniti...

Revision programming is a formalism to describe and enforce updates of belief sets and databases. That formalism was extended by Fitting who assigned annotations to revision atoms. Annotations provide a way to quantify the confidence (probability) that a revision atom holds. The main goal of our paper is to reexamine the work of Fitting, argue that his semantics does not always provide results ...
