Typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. These errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. The aim of Approximate Record Matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. In this paper, an algorithm for Approximate Record Matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...

The primate brain contains a hierarchy of visual areas, dubbed the ventral stream, which rapidly computes object representations that are both specific for object identity and robust against identity-preserving transformations, like depth rotations [1, 2]. Current computational models of object recognition, including recent deep-learning networks, generate these properties through a hierarchy o...

Two α-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) isozymes, HdAmy58 and HdAmy82, with approximate molecular masses of 58 kDa and 82 kDa, respectively, were isolated from the digestive fluid of the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai. Optimal temperatures and pHs for HdAmy58 and HdAmy82 were at 30 °C and 6.7, and 30 °C and 6.1, respectively. Both enzymes similarly degraded starch, glycogen, and maltooligosaccharide...

A so-called Renormalization Group (RG) analysis is performed in order to shed some light on why the density of prime numbers in N decreases like the single power of the inverse neperian logarithm. CERN–TH/2000–146 May 2000 Part I The most elementary proof of the Prime Numbers Theorem These few lines are not part of the proof. They simply show the history which has led to the starting point of o...

We propose to extend the ontology of logical AI to include approximate objects, approximate predicates and approximate theories. Besides the ontology we treat the relations among different approximate theories of the same phenomena. Approximate predicates can’t have complete if-and-only-if definitions and usually don’t even have definite extensions. Some approximate concepts can be refined by l...

Approximate algebraic structures play a defining role in arithmetic combinatorics and have found remarkable applications to basic questions in number theory and pseudorandomness. Here we study approximate representations of finite groups: functions ψ : G → Ud such that Pr[ψ(xy) = ψ(x) ψ(y)] is large, or more generally Ex,y ‖ψ(xy)− ψ(x) ψ(y)‖22 is small, where x, y are uniformly random elements ...

the article provides a critical assessment of the more recent literature that relies on theoretical frameworks such as post modernism and globalization to deal with national identity, ethnicity and cultural mobility. explaining sensitive and complicated issues such as identity requires the extensive use of the native historical, cultural and sociological sources related to the iranian experienc...
