Multiple criteria optimization seeks to simultaneously optimize two or more objective functions under a set of constraints. It has a great variety of applications, ranging from financial management, energy planning, sustainable development, to aircraft design. Data mining is aim at extracting hidden and useful knowledge from large databases. Major contributors of data mining include machine lea...

This study attempts to account for the argument-adjunct asymmetry of Sluicing in Mandarin Chinese. Such an asymmetry is empirically demonstrated by a language-particular phenomenon, so-called shi-support, which is also the last resort (Chomsky, 1995a) of our linguistic mechanism. In the current related literature, shi-support is obligatory for wh-arguments but optional for wh-adjuncts (Wang, 20...
