Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are an efficient data mining approach for classification, clustering and time series analysis. In recent years, a tremendous growth in the amount of data gathered has changed the focus of SVM classifier algorithms from providing accurate results to enabling incremental (and decremental) learning with new data (or unlearning old data) without the need for computati...

The emergence of antibiotic resistance has remained a challenge for a few decades. The third generation cephalosporins are now the first-line therapy in many regions, however, the reduction of the suscep...

Context-based projection methods for identifying the translation of terms in comparable corpora has attracted a lot of attention in the community, e.g. (Fung, 1998; Rapp, 1999). Surprisingly, none of those works have systematically investigated the impact of the many parameters controlling their approach. The present study aims at doing just this. As a testcase, we address the task of translati...

An m×n ideal matrix is a periodic m×n binary matrix which satisfies the following two conditions: (1) each column of this matrix contains precisely one 1 and (2) if it is visualized as a dot pattern (with each dot representing a 1), then the number of overlapping dots at all actual shifts are 1 or 0. Let s(n) denote the smallest integer m such that an m × n ideal matrix exists. In this paper, w...
