Previous results have shown disappointing performance when porting a parser trained on one domain to another domain where only a small amount of data is available. We propose the use of data-defined kernels as a way to exploit statistics from a source domain while still specializing a parser to a target domain. A probabilistic model trained on the source domain (and possibly also the target dom...

This paper details a systematic method for significantly improving the noise margins of very fast threshold gates. The method is based on adding nonlinear terms determined from the Boolean form of the threshold function to be implemented. Simulation results support our theoretical claims. Finally, two methods for drastically reducing the dissipated power of such threshold gates down to <50%, an...

Mobile manipulators operating in field environments will be required to apply large forces, or manipulate large loads, and to perform such tasks on uneven terrain which may cause the system to approach, or reach, a dangerous tipover instability. To avoid tipover in an automatic system, or to provide a human operator with an indication of proximity to tipover, it is necessary to define a measure...

Cost–volume–profit (CVP) analysis is a widely used decision tool across many business disciplines. The current literature on stochastic applications of the CVP model limited in that studied under restrictive forms Gaussian and Lognormal distributions. In this paper we introduce Mellin Transform as methodology to generalize modeling problem. We demonstrate versatility using transform problem, pr...

Margin theory provides one of the most popular explanations to the success of AdaBoost, where the central point lies in the recognition that margin is the key for characterizing the performance of AdaBoost. This theory has been very influential, e.g., it has been used to argue that AdaBoost usually does not overfit since it tends to enlarge the margin even after the training error reaches zero....

The largest carbonate condensate field in China has been found the central Tarim Basin. Ordovician reservoirs are generally attributed to reef-shoal microfacies along a platform margin. However, recent production success achieved NE-trending strike-slip fault zones that intersect at For this contribution, we analyzed effects on by using new geological, geophysical, and data. Seismic data shows ...

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of mergers on BSI's financial performance. Research methodology: The method used in this research is descriptive comparative, namely that describes a certain situation within predetermined period time. data comes from statements three Islamic banks before merger (2019) and BSI after (2021). Results: results show nine ratios studied, six have incr...

Perum Perhutani's revenue is dominated by the sale of teak and rosin. Sales wood from Perhutani KPH Tasikmalaya has been decreasing during Covid-19 pandemic, due to some marketing constraints. The objectives this study were: (1) analyze efficiency at Tasikmalaya, (2) mix strategy (3) contribution utilization total household income community. around forest in Tasikmalaya. analyzed using three in...

Contrary to the overall tendency increase student participation in financing of higher education, Estonia abolished tuition fees 2013. We study effects this reform on students’ access and progress concentrating mostly changes probabilities rural remote students being admitted (extensive margin) graduating within a nominal time (intensive margin). distinguish between four different outcomes: adm...

Support vector machines (SVMs) and Boosting are possibly the two most popular learning approaches during the past two decades. It is well known that the margin is a fundamental issue of SVMs, whereas recently the margin theory for Boosting has been defended, establishing a connection between these two mainstream approaches. The recent theoretical results disclosed that the margin distribution r...
