Todays, in many modern applications, we search for frequent and repeating patterns in the analyzed data sets. In this search, we look for patterns that frequently appear in data set and mark them as frequent patterns to enable users to make decisions based on these discoveries. Most algorithms presented in the context of data stream mining and frequent pattern detection, work either on uncertai...

Multivariate functional data are increasingly encountered in data analysis, while statistical models for such data are not well developed yet. Motivated by a case study where one aims to quantify the relationship between various longitudinally recorded behavior intensities for Drosophila flies, we propose a functional linear manifold model. This model reflects the functional dependency between ...

Over time, chronic conditions like dementia can lead to care dependency and nursing care problems, often necessitating nursing home admission. This panel study (2012-2014) aims to explore changes in care dependency and nursing care problems (incontinence, malnutrition, decubitus, falls and restraints) in residents with and without dementia over time. In total, nine Austrian nursing homes partic...

Managing consistency is a major concern in the design of complex engineering systems. At times, inconsistencies may lead to wrong decisions, resulting in design flaws which can compromise safety and cause failures. One cannot forget the 1999 NASA unmanned MARS Climate Orbiter, which was destroyed due to use of inconsistent units by design teams. Sadly, the history of inconsistency causing failu...

The dependency injection design pattern improves the configurability, testability, and maintainability of object-oriented applications by decoupling components from both the concrete implementations of their dependencies and the strategy employed to select those implementations. In recent years, a number of libraries have emerged that provide automated support for constructing and connecting de...

AIM To investigate the relationship between the severity of the patient's care dependency on the one hand, and causes of death, co-morbidity, and survival on the other, and to find out which of these factors might be longitudinal predictors of survival. METHODS A two-year follow-up study started in 1994 in the Netherlands. Subjects were 130 female nursing-home patients with Alzheimer's diseas...

Background: Parental bonding perception leads to the different domains of future life. The goal of this study was to investigate the predictive role of parental bonding perception types of communicational patterns of couples of Tehran. Methods: This research was a correlational and descriptive study. The study sample comprised of 338 individuals who voluntarily participated in the research in ...

With the appearance of low-cost, highly parallel hardware architectures, software portability between such architectures is in great demand. Software design lacks programming models to keep up with the continually increasing parallelism of today’s hardware. This setting calls for alternative thinking in programming. When a computation has a static data-dependency pattern, extracting this patter...

The CUDA execution model of Nvidia’s GPUs is based on the asynchronous execution of thread blocks, where each thread executes the same kernel in a data-parallel fashion. When threads in di↵erent thread blocks need to synchronise and communicate, the whole computation launched onto the GPU needs to be stopped and re-invoked in order to facilitate interblock synchronisations and communication. Th...

Patterns extracted from dependency parses of sentences are a major source of knowledge for most state-of-the-art relation extraction systems, but can be of low quality in distantly supervised settings. We present a linguistic annotation tool that allows human experts to analyze and categorize automatically learned patterns, and to identify common error classes. The annotations can be used to cr...
