Using the singularity theory of scalar functions, we derive a classification of sliding bifurcations in piecewise-smooth flows. These are global bifurcations which occur when distinguished orbits become tangent to surfaces of discontinuity, called switching manifolds. The key idea of the paper is to attribute sliding bifurcations to singularities in the manifold’s projection along the flow, nam...

Information extraction (IE) systems are costly to build because they require development texts, parsing tools, and specialized dictionaries for each application domain and each natural language that needs to be processed. We present a novel method for rapidly creating IE systems for new languages by exploiting existing IE systems via crosslanguage projection. Given an IE system for a source lan...

Abstract In this study, aiming at the multi-attribute decision-making problem with incomplete and uncertain attribute weight information value of interval numbers, a grey target model numbers based on positive negative clouts is proposed. Firstly, in model, linear transformation operator number used to normalize original decision information, are designed. Secondly, after space projection dista...

The present paper proposes neutrosophic soft multi-attribute decision making based on grey relational projection method. Neutrosophic soft sets is a combination of neutrosophic sets and soft sets and it is a new mathematical apparatus to deal with realistic problems in the fields of medical sciences, economics, engineering, etc. The rating of alternatives with respect to choice parameters is re...

This paper is about content-based product recommender systems. In product recommendation, a customer is presented with a selection of products from a product catalogue. Content-based approaches (in contradistinction to, e.g., collaborative approaches) select products by matching product descriptions from the catalogue with descriptions of customer preferences and requirements. We will refer to ...

the subject of divine will is discussed in three views of imammieh, moatazeleh, and ashaereh scholars. in views of them, god has will, however, there are differences between their beliefs: is divine will a substance attribute or an attribute surplus to substance is divine will an ancient or created attribute is divine will an affirmative or privative attribute is divine will a real or unreal at...

for time point variables, such as the variable t above. This approach of using time points is more declarative than ours because it hides the implementation detail of using a set of pairs of time intervals and values to implement the partial function from time points to values. It is not clear, however , whether this higher level of abstraction leaves more opportunities for optimization or whet...

This paper presents a comparison between Support Vector Machines (SVM) speaker verification systems based on linear and non linear kernels defined in GMM supervector space. We describe how these kernel functions are related and we show how the nuisance attribute projection (NAP) technique can be used with both of these kernels to deal with the session variability problem. We demonstrate the imp...
