Regional competitiveness is a policy priority of the European Union. This article explores cross-border knowledge transfer for regional integration and development. The focus of this research is the role of cross-border co-operation in development of innovative forms of co-operation, initiating and supporting knowledge transfer. The article presents a theoretical-methodological analysis of new ...

This study examined the effects of stimulus-feedback cooccurrence on rule-based and information-integration category learning. Rule-based categories are those for which a verbalizable rule is optimal. Information-integration categories are those for which the optimal rule is nonverbalizable. Participants performed a rule-based or an information-integration task where the stimulus co-occurred wi...

In a multi-label text classification task, in which multiple labels can be assigned to one text, label co-occurrence itself is informative. We propose a novel neural network initialization method to treat some of the neurons in the final hidden layer as dedicated neurons for each pattern of label co-occurrence. These dedicated neurons are initialized to connect to the corresponding co-occurring...

To find hidden features of co-authoring relationships, we focused on drawing techniques for bipartite graphs. We previously developed a drawing method called “anchored maps”, which is used to depict bipartite graphs visually. In anchored maps, some nodes are restricted to certain positions, but others are left to be arranged freely. In this study, we used our method to depict co-authoring relat...

The development of computational solutions for simulation of visual behavior deals with the problem of integration and co-operation between different computational processes for control of active vision systems. In general these computational processes could emulate different and specific artificial visual behavior and their integration presents distinct facets and problems. The first is the in...

A virtual chemical spectrophotometer for the simultaneous analysis of nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) was developed based on an artificial neural network (ANN). The developed ANN correlates the respective concentrations of Co and Ni given the absorbance profile of a Co-Ni mixture based on the BeerâĂŹs Law. The virtual chemical spectrometer was trained using a 3-layer jump connection neural network ...

A computer software system is designed for the automatic discrimination of benign tumor from malignant tumor in brain CT examinations. Image analysis methods were applied to the images of 40 benign images and 40 malignant images. Textural features extracted from the gray level co-occurrence matrix of the tumor images and back propagation neural network classifier were employed for the design of...
