My aim is to motivate and develop a view of what senses are. Senses, as I conceive of them, avoid a number of the problems that plague a broadly Fregean approach to the semantics of belief ascriptions, as I hope to show. The chief innovation of my view that enables these solutions is that beliefs are taken to have multiple, truth-conditionally equivalent contents. In traditional Fregean termino...

In this work, we explore how well can we perform the PAN‘13 authorship identification task by using correlation of frequent significant features found in documents written by a known author. We extract features from the context of four types of words: first words of sentences or lines, nouns, verbs, punctuation. We compute the Matthews Correlation Coefficient for all pairs of extracted features...

OBJECTIVE To establish and validate a new system to define the severity of onychomycosis. The Onychomycosis Severity Index (OSI) score is obtained by multiplying the score for the area of involvement (range, 0-5) by the score for the proximity of disease to the matrix (range, 1-5). Ten points are added for the presence of a longitudinal streak or a patch (dermatophytoma) or for greater than 2 m...

BACKGROUND According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the participation component is considered to be the most complex component characterized in existing instruments that assess quality of life related to health (HRQoL). Questionnaires such as the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) are currently used ...

‎The most challenging task in dealing with Bayesian networks is learning their structure‎. ‎Two classical approaches are often used for learning Bayesian network structure;‎ ‎Constraint-Based method and Score-and-Search-Based one‎. ‎But neither the first nor the second one are completely satisfactory‎. ‎Therefore the heuristic search such as Genetic Alg...
