much attention has recently been paid to natural language processing in information storage and retrieval. this paper describes how the application of natural language processing ( nlp ) techniques can enhance cross-language information retrieval ( clir ). using a semi-experimental technique, we took farsi queries to retrieve relevant documents in english. for translating persian queries, we us...

The problem of energy consumption and the importance improving existing buildings’ performance are notorious. This work aims to contribute this improvement by identifying latest most appropriate machine learning or statistical techniques, which analyze looking at large quantities building certification data other sources. PRISMA, a well-established systematic literature review meta-analysis met...

Appropriate comments of code snippets provide insight for code functionality, which are helpful for program comprehension. However, due to the great cost of authoring with the comments, many code projects do not contain adequate comments. Automatic comment generation techniques have been proposed to generate comments from pieces of code in order to alleviate the human efforts in annotating the ...

Using a time-domain back-projection based focusing algorithm in combination with three tomographic focusing techniques (multilook standard beamforming, robust Capon beamforming, and MUSIC) a 3D volume containing a forested area has been tomographically imaged at Land P-band. In this paper, we present further results and insights obtained by processing and analyzing these data sets with respect ...

This paper describes a simulation of attention behaviour aimed at computer-animated characters. Attention is the focusing of a person’s perception on a particular object. This is useful for computer animation as it determines which objects the character is aware of: information that can be used in the simulation of the character’s behaviour in order to automatically animate the character. The s...

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder can find very difficult focusing their attention towards activities they find less attractive than the ones they like.
