In our formal runs, we have experimented with hybrid-term indexing and bigram indexing because hybrid-term indexing is a more distinct type of indexing strategy for better pooling and because bigram indexing usually gives robust (near) good results. We have also used our pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) methods. In the informal runs, we have experimented with our previous re-ranking strategy, ca...

We present a novel strategy for computing disparity maps from hemispherical stereo images obtained with fish-eye lenses in forest environments. At a first segmentation stage, the method identifies textures of interest to be either matched or discarded. This is achieved by applying a pattern recognition strategy based on the combination of two classifiers: Fuzzy Clustering and Bayesian. At a sec...

This thesis addresses the problems of Random Map Generation which are strategically and visual interesting for turn-based strategy Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG). First we present the results of the research regarding works related to this subject. Previously used methodologies are reviewed and the techniques used in some MMOGs analyzed. Next we describe a method to create strategica...

We present a “hierarchical” strategy for phase space generation in order to efficiently map the antenna momentum structures, typically occurring in QCD amplitudes.

Our understanding of the development and maintenance of tissues has been greatly aided by large-scale gene expression analysis. However, tissues are invariably complex, and expression analysis of a tissue confounds the true expression patterns of its constituent cell types. Here we describe a novel strategy to access such complex samples. Single-cell RNA-seq expression profiles were generated, ...

This study aims to test the effect of explicit representation of causal relationships in strategy map component of balanced scorecards BSC on performance evaluations outcomes. To address this aim, a 2 × 2 factorial design laboratory experiment was conducted, where: (1) the inclusion of graphical information supporting causal relationships between objectives in strategy maps, and (2) performance...

This article de nes a complement of a function and conditions for existence of such a complement function and presents few algorithms to construct a complement.

Many estimation tasks require Bayesian classifiers capable of adjusting their performance (e.g. sensitivity/specificity). In situations where the optimal classification decision can be identified by an exhaustive search over all possible classes, means for adjusting classifier performance, such as probability thresholding or weighting the a posteriori probabilities, are well established. Unfort...

“Strategy implementation” is an inseparable part of strategic management process. Transformation strategies to typical operations and daily functions of staff exert a significant role in organization success. Balanced scorecard (BSC) and strategy map help senior managers to perfectly implement and monitor the accomplishment of the strategies by transforming strategies into operational programs....
