SVM (Support Vector Machine) is a supervised learning which is a boon in disguise to the field of machine learning. Though a number of classifier seems to exist it gives better result and recognition rates for which it is opted the most. The other brighter side of SVM is that it minimizes the empirical error and maximizes the geometric region. Neural network has weakness such that they converge...

This paper develops a distributed approach for fusing GMTI data with out-of-sequence (OOS) measurements. A multirate interacting multiple model (MRIMM) fusion algorithm is developed for e®ectively fusing multirate information. To incorporate an OOS measurement, two major steps are needed: retrospection from current time to OOS time and updating the current estimate with the OOS measurement, whi...

We investigate the common development of children's ability to "look back in time" (retrospection, episodic remembering) and to "look into the future" (prospection). Experiment 1 with 59 children 5 to 8.5 years old showed mental rotation, as a measure of prospection, explaining specific variance of free recall, as a measure of episodic remembering (retrospection) when controlled for cued recall...

It takes a great effort for common news readers to track events promptly, and not to mention that they can retrospect them precisely after it occurred for a long time period. Although topic detection and tracking techniques have been developed to promptly identify and keep track of similar events in a topic and monitor their progress, the cognitive load remains for a reader to digest these repo...
