Quality of Experience (QoE) has become an indispensable phenomenon in the ever-growing research facets of multimedia community. Context-aware QoE needs better framework to meet the demands of mobile video environments. The proliferation of various wireless technologies have endorsed wide spread usage of video applications such as 3D games and 3D movies. This work describes a novel machine learn...

The paper presents an approach to predict personality traits of a writer for the author profiling task of the PAN CLEF 2015. The task aimed at predicting authors’ demographics based on the written tweets of an author. These demographics included traditional authorship attributes of age, gender and various personality traits of an author. We applied topic modeling using LDA as baseline approach ...

The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) increased accountability pressure in U.S. public schools by threatening to impose sanctions on Title 1 schools that failed to make adequate yearly progress (AYP) in consecutive years. Difference-in-difference estimates of the effect of failing AYP in the first year of NCLB on teacher effort in the subsequent year suggest that, on average, teacher absence...

Data mining is an iterative progress in which evolution is defined by detection, through usual or manual methods. The discovered knowledge can be used for different applications for example healthcare industry. The heart disease accounts to be the leading cause of death worldwide. It is difficult for medical practitioners to predict the heart attack as it is complex task that requires experienc...

The main objective of any educational organization is to provide quality education and improve the overall performance of an institution by looking at individual performances. One way to analyze learners' performances is to identify the areas of weakness and guide their students to a better future. Although data mining has been successful in many areas, its use in student performance analysis i...

Holdup in Oligopsonistic Labour Markets: A New Role for the Minimum Wage We consider a labour market model of oligopsonistic wage competition and show that there is a holdup problem although workers do not have any bargaining power. When a firm invests more, it pays a higher wage in order to attract workers from competitors. Because workers participate in the returns on investment while only fi...

Activity recognition has become the necessity of smart homes, future factories, and surveillance. Activities independent of body posture predominantly exhibiting gestures involving both arm and the wrist motion supports the use of the wearable sensors for data acquisition. This paper uses an algorithm based prediction method to recognize the Activities of Daily Life (ADL) involving activities l...

Uterine fibroids are benign growths in the uterus, for which there are several possible treatment options. Patients and physicians generally approach the decision process based on a combination of the patient’s degree of discomfort, patient preferences, and physician practice patterns. In this paper, we examine the use of classification algorithms in combination with metalearning algorithms as ...

This paper describes a project to compare two feature classification algorithms used in activity recognition in relation to accelerometer and heart rate data. Data was collected from six male and female subjects using a single tri-axial accelerometer and heart monitor attached to each subject’s dominant thigh. Subjects carried out eight activities and the data was labelled semi-automatically. F...

Air transportation is a very preferred type of for long-distance trips. This has made great progress, especially in the last 20 years with development technology. Thanks to its fast and safe, passenger capacity gradually increasing. Despite this situation, mortality rate quite high case an aircraft accident. For reason, hundreds people can die single In study, accidents that occurred world were...
