Nowadays, many real applications comprise data-sets where the distribution of the classes is significantly different. These data-sets are commonly known as imbalanced data-sets. Traditional classifiers are not able to deal with these kinds of data-sets because they tend to classify only majority classes, obtaining poor results for minority classes. The approaches that have been proposed to addr...

in chemical engineering, several processes are represented by singular boundary value problems. in general, classical numerical methods fail to produce good approximations for the singular boundary value problems. in this paper, chebyshev finite difference (chfd) method and dtm-pad´e method, which is a combination of differential transform method (dtm) and pad´e approximant, are applied for sol...

We construct a weighted Euclidean distance that approximates any distance or dissimilarity measure between individuals that is based on a rectangular cases-by-variables data matrix. In contrast to regular multidimensional scaling methods for dissimilarity data, the method leads to biplots of individuals and variables while preserving all the good properties of dimension-reduction methods that a...

the speech enhancement techniques are often employed to improve the quality and intelligibility of the noisy speech signals. this paper discusses a novel technique for speech enhancement which is based on singular value decomposition. this implementation utilizes a genetic algorithm based optimization method for reducing the effects of environmental noises from the singular vectors as well as t...
