In data mining, the input of most algorithms is a set of n objects and each object is described by a feature vector. However, in many real database applications, an object is described by more than one feature vector. In this paper, we call an object described by more than one feature vector as a matrix-object and a data set consisting of matrix-objects as a matrix-object data set. We propose a...

A new comprehensive method to suppress the spurious modes in a BPF is proposed taking the multi-strip resonator BPF as an example. It consists of disturbing the resonant frequency, coupling coefficient and external Q of the higher-order modes at the same time. The designed example has shown an extraordinarily good out-of-band response in the computer simulation. key words: spurious suppression,...

We experimentally investigated the vector multi-soliton operation and vector soliton interaction in an erbium doped fiber laser passively mode locked by atomic layer graphene. It is found that the vector multi-soliton operation exhibited several characteristic modes. These are the random static distribution of vector solitons, stable bunches of vector solitons, restless oscillations of vector s...

A new scheme of Wavelets based system identification for structures with multi-coupled modes is presented in this paper. The advantages of using Wavelets for system identification are that good localization and hierarchical multi-resolution can be achieved in both time and frequency domains. Consequently, the system model for different modes can be identified more efficiently and accurately, es...

The purpose of Multi-modal Multi-criteria Personalized Route Planning (MMPRP) is to provide an optimal route between an origin-destination pair by considering weights of effective criteria in a way this route can be a combination of public and private modes of transportation. In this paper, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and the quantifier-guided ordered weighted averaging (...

In this paper, the modified linearized Phillips-Heffron model is utilized to theoretically analyze asingle-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) installed with SSSC. Then, the results of this analysis are used forassessing the potential of an SSSC supplementary controller to improve the dynamic stability of apower system. This is carried out by measuring the electromechanical controllability through sing...

The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...

When sensor nodes are organized in clusters, they could use either single hop or multi-hop mode of communication to send their data to their respective cluster heads. We present a systematic cost-based analysis of both the modes, and provide results that could serve as guidelines to decide which mode should be used for given settings. We determine closed form expressions for the required number...

Multi-party communications taking place within organizations lead to different interaction modes between agents (e.g. (in)direct communication between roles, (in)direct communication restricted to a group, etc). Fully normative organisations need to regulate and control those modes as they do for agents’ behaviors. This paper proposes to extend the normative organization model Moise in order to...

This paper investigates subtitle translation from a multi-modal approach. Approaching subtitletranslation from a multi-modal perspective is an attempt to consider subtitle translation as in-tersemiotic translation. It suggests that subtitle translation involves more than the spoken mode,but also involves other semiotic modes, such as the mode of sound effects, the mode of moving...
