Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an old and important task in computational linguistics that still remains challenging, to machines as well as to human annotators. Recently there have been several proposals for representing word meaning in context that diverge from the traditional use of a single best sense for each occurrence. They represent word meaning in context through multiple paraphras...

This study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a Twenty20 match. Based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. The developed measure is called ‘Prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of t...

A bi-objective mathematical model is developed to simultaneously consider the quay crane and yard truck scheduling problems at container terminals. Main real-world assumptions, such as quay cranes with non-crossing constraints, quay cranes’ safety margins and precedence constraints are considered in this model. This integrated approach leads to better efficiency and productivity at container te...

This article describes an investigation using automatic generation of heights over a typical Danish landscape. For this investigation the program Match-T has been used. The investigation is carried out over a test area of 3.5 x 4.0 km. The area represents more than 80 % of what could usually be termed typical Danish landscape. The test area is divided into five different landscape types. Over t...

Please read: I will try to post here a few solutions. The new solutions will be added to this same file. They might come with no explanation, just the “answer”. If yours do not match mine, you can try to figure out again. (Also, read the disclaimer below!) You can come to office hours if you want explanations for the unexplained answers. Be careful that just because our “answers” were the same,...

Internal cluster validity measures (such as the Calinski-Harabasz, Dunn, or Davies-Bouldin indices) are frequently used for selecting appropriate number of partitions a dataset should be split into. In this paper we consider what happens if treat such indices objective functions in unsupervised learning activities. Is optimal grouping with regards to, say, Silhouette index really meaningful? It...

This paper proposes a memory-efficient bit-split string matching scheme for deep packet inspection (DPI). When the number of target patterns becomes large, the memory requirements of the string matching engine become a critical issue. The proposed string matching scheme reduces the memory requirements using the uniqueness of the target patterns in the deterministic finite automaton (DFA)-based ...

We suggest that the proximity of a country to other countries is a factor that affects its choice as an MNE location. We introduce the concept of a country’s proximity to the global distribution of knowledge, markets and resources, and frame this concept as a function of both geographic distance and the worldwide spatial distribution of these factors. We test our location model on a dataset com...

The appearance of uncertainties and disturbances often effects the characteristics either linear or nonlinear systems. Plus, stabilization process may be deteriorated thus incurring a catastrophic effect to system performance. As such, this manuscript addresses concept matching condition for systems that are suffering from miss-match exogeneous disturbances. perturbation towards at hand is assu...
