Ideas from quantum computation are applied to the field of neural networks to produce competitive learning in a quantum system. The resulting quantum competitive learner has a prototype storage capacity that is exponentially greater than that of its classical counterpart. Further, empirical results from simulation of the quantum competitive learning system on real-world data sets demonstrate th...

Teaching methodologies and uses of competitive intelligence and competitive technical intelligence in countries where the culture and the technological level are very different from the western world cannot be implemented without a cultural understanding of the tacit local knowledge and cultural behavior of people. As an example of research-action, we have chosen two Indonesian regions: Sulawes...

The history of humanhood has included competitive activities of many different forms. Sports have offered many benefits beyond that of entertainment. At the time of this article, there exists not a competitive ecosystem for cyber security beyond that of conventional capture the flag competitions, and the like. This paper introduces a competitive framework with a foundation on computer science, ...

In this review, I provide an overview of the literature investigating social psychology economic inequality, focusing on individuals’ understandings, perceptions, and reactions to inequality. begin by describing different ways measuring perceptions conclude that absolute measures—which ask respondents estimate inequality in more concrete terms—tend be useful accurate than relative measures. the...

Five methods that generate multiple prototypes from labeled data are reviewed. Then we introduce a new sixth approach, which is a modification of Chang’s method. We compare the six methods with two standard classifier designs: the 1nearest prototype (1-np) and 1-nearest neighbor (1-nn) rules. The standard of comparison is the resubstitution error rate; the data used are the Iris data. Our modif...

Since gaining independence in 1965, the Singapore government has relentlessly pursued economic growth and prosperity, while at the same time exercising tight political controls, which has largely eroded traditional political participation among the citizens (George, 2003; Rodan, 1998). In the economic domain, Singapore’s performance has indeed been very impressive; the country was recently rank...
