In the paper aspect of comparability alternatives in decision making problem by imprecise or incomplete information isexamined. In particular, new definitions of transitivity based on the measure of the intensity preference between pairsof alternatives in epistemic and ontic case is presented and its application to solve decision making problem is proposed.

Although the use of telemedicine in psychiatry has a long history in providing clinical care to patients, its use in clinical trials research has not yet been commonly employed. Telemedicine allows for the remote assessment of study patients, which could be done by a centralized, highly calibrated, and impartial cohort of raters independent of the study site. This study examined the comparabili...

We study in this paper the problem of enhancing the comparability of bilingual corpora in order to improve the quality of bilingual lexicons extracted from comparable corpora. We introduce a clustering-based approach for enhancing corpus comparability which exploits the homogeneity feature of the corpus, and finally preserves most of the vocabulary of the original corpus. Our experiments illust...

Given a class of graphs G, a graphG is a probe graph of G if its vertices can be partitioned into a set of probes and an independent set of nonprobes such that G can be embedded into a graph of G by adding edges between certain nonprobes. If the partition of the vertices is part of the input, we call G a partitioned probe graph of G. In this paper we show that there exists a polynomial-time alg...

Abstract. One of the key challenges for risk, vulnerability and resilience research is how to address role risk perceptions influence behaviour. It remains unclear why people fail act adaptively reduce future losses, even when there ever-richer information available on natural human-made hazards (flood, drought, etc.). The current fragmentation field makes it an uphill battle cross-validate res...
