language is primarily constituted by action and interaction based on sensorimotor information. this paper demonstrates the nature of subjectivity and intersubjectivity through the neural mechanism and typological evidence of sentence-final particles from east asian languages and extends to the discussion of the relationship between them. i propose that intersubjecivity is a kind of embedded or ...

The limitations of using self-organizing maps (SaM) for either clustering/vector quantization (VQ) or multidimensional scaling (MDS) are being discussed by reviewing recent empirical findings and the relevant theory. SaM 's remaining ability of doing both VQ and MDS at the same time is challenged by a new combined technique of online K-means clustering plus Sammon mapping of the cluster centroi...

The large volume of nowadays document collections has increased the need of fast trainable document organization systems. This paper presents and evaluates a hybrid system to self-organization of massive document collections based on self-organizing map (SOM). The hybrid system uses prototypes generated by a clustering algorithm to train the document maps, thus reducing the training time of lar...

The search for structural similarity among proteins can provide valuable insights into their functional mechanisms and their functional relationships. Though the protein 1D sequence contains the information of protein folding, the performance of predicting the 3D-structure directly from the sequence is still limited. As the increase of available protein structures, we can now conduct more preci...

one of the main concerns of intellectuals in the 40 and 50 th. back to the concept of self-concern in such abundance in the works of jalal ahmad, law, and nasr farid is there. however, in this context, one must ask: back to what self? in contrast, the return on the one hand, the rejection means and the other, a return to the past. however, such a return is guaranteed two assumptions: first, it ...

The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between the self-supervision and the self-efficacy of Iranian EFL teachers and also the relationship between the self-supervision and the self-efficacy of intermediate adult learners individually. To this end, 40 EFL teachers and 55 intermediate adult learners were selected from two branches of Kish Language Institute. In this study, “...

In this article, we use three clustering methods (K-means, self-organizing map, and fuzzy K-means) to find properly graded stock market brokerage commission rates based on the 3-month long total trades of two different transaction modes (representative assisted and online trading system). Stock traders for both modes are classified in terms of the amount of the total trade as well as the amount...

This study presents a novel load estimation method for isolated communities that do not receive energy or only receive it for a limited time each day. These profiles have been used to determine the installed capacity of generating units for microgrid electrification projects. The social characteristics and lifestyles of isolated communities differ from those in urban areas; therefore, the load ...

The advent of cDNA and oligonucleotide microarray technologies has led to a paradigm shift in biological investigation, such that the bottleneck in research is shifting from data generation to data analysis. Hierarchical clustering, divisive clustering, self-organizing maps and k-means clustering have all been recently used to make sense of this mass of data.
