In this paper, we show that training of the support vector machine (SVM) can be interpreted as performing the level 1 inference of MacKay's evidence framework.We further on show that levels 2 and 3 of the evidence framework can also be applied to SVMs. This integration allows automatic adjustment of the regularization parameter and the kernel parameter to their near-optimal values. Moreover, it...

For a challenging application, the software component retrieval , we present a powerful solution by combining two systems. The NORA/HAMMR-tool handles all aspects concerning with the logical representation of the application problem, the ILF-tool provides an infrastructure to apply several ATPs like SETHEO, OTTER, SPASS to the emerging deductive problems. For a fruitful practically application,...

As we all know, the parameter optimization of Mamdani model has a defect of easily falling into local optimum. To solve this problem, we propose a new algorithm by constructing Mamdani Fuzzy neural networks. This new scheme uses fuzzy clustering based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine initial parameter of Mamdani Fuzzy neural networks. Then it adopts PSO algorithm to o...

My intention in this paper is to outline and motivate a novel theory of syntactic bootstrapping, Exemplar-Based Phonological Bootstrapping (EBPB), based on Stochastic Tree-Substitution Grammar. Because I have outlined the basic structure of STSG in other places for assessed work on this degree, I will not recapitulate that work in the body of the present paper, but will instead quote it in full...

Multi-view geometry theory is applied to atmospheric nuclear tests filmed in the 1950s and 1960s, to estimate the three-dimensional locations of fixed structures and radiological material during the detonation. Results show that using bundle adjustment, points can be estimated with an average uncertainty of 0.68 meters with 0.36, 0.28, and 0.37 meters of uncertainty in x-, y-, and z-directions ...

This study investigated the relation of friendship and emotional adjustment in adolescents. Both quantitative (popularity, mutual friendships, and number of friends) and qualitative dimensions (perceived positive friendship quality and conflict) of friendship were used. Participants were 618, mostly European American, 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. Structural equation modeling showed that posit...

Database queries within a component framework usually take the form of a string passed to an operation in a component’s interface. The interface operation accepts a value of type string as an actual parameter and implements the necessary support to resolve the query. In such an approach, a component’s interface does not explicitly state the queries supported by that component. In this paper, we...

Soft glassy materials exhibit the so-called glassy transition which means that the behavior of the model at low shear rate changes when a certain parameter (which we call the glass parameter) crosses a critical value. This behavior goes from a Newtonian behavior to a HerschelBulkley behavior through a power-law-type behavior at the transition point. In a previous paper we rigorously proved that...

Combined logics have recently deserved much attention. In this paper we develop a detailed study of a form of combination that generalises the temporalisation construction proposed in 9]. It consists of replacing an atomic part (formal parameter) of one (parameterised) logic by another (actual parameter) logic. We provide a categorial char-acterisation of parameterisation and illustrate it with...

conclusions the research revealed that nonsmokers showed better mental health and dyadic adjustment than smokers, thus suggesting that smoking endangers and can impair the tranquility of families and that smoking also threatens the dyadic adjustment of couples. background the mental health and dyadic adjustment of smokers is a matter of serious concern which brings many demerits on mental healt...
