Processing large and heterogeneous numbers of ideas submitted to crowdsourcing contests is a regular challenge for idea evaluators. The aim this study investigate potential use case AI-based innovation management extend the knowledge using automated novelty detection in evaluation processes. language models can automatically allocate short texts according their semantic similarity an embedded s...

two meanings regarding the principality of existence (isālat al-wujūd) can be inferred from the works and words of mulla sadra. one meaning is the objectivity of existence and essence on which many issues of transcendental philosophy are based. this meaning has deep philosophical consequences and implications. it seems that this meaning causes certain problems which make its acceptance tricky. ...

A fundamental problem of object tracking is to adapt to unseen views of the object while not getting distracted by other objects. We introduce Dynamic Objectness in a discriminative tracking framework to sporadically re-discover the tracked object based on motion. In doing so, drifting is effectively limited since tracking becomes more aware of objects as independently moving entities in the sc...

Platform-based design faces an essential tension: it wants to reuse previous designs to leverage IP; but new designs must necessarily include work that is not complete or well-characterized. Synthesis and analysis methods are therefore important elements in platform-based design methodologies. This paper describes two aspects of this problem. First, we consider the first-generation dilemma, in ...

The saturation-based reasoning methods are among the most theoretically developed ones and are used by most of the state-of-the-art first-order logic reasoners. In the last decade there was a sharp increase in performance of such systems, which I attribute to the use of advanced calculi and the intensified research in implementation techniques. However, nowadays we are witnessing a slowdown in ...

This paper presents an agent-based simulation framework for the analysis of the emergence of resource-sharing conventions. The model is based on Sugden's article entitled "Spontaneous order", which looks at the conditions under which conventions regarding access to a natural resource become established. The aim of the model is to explore the potential of agent-based modelling for the analysis o...

this paper represents a new region-based active contour model that can be used to segment images with intensity non-uniformity and high level noise. the main idea of our proposed method is to use gaussian distributions with different means and variances with incorporation of intensity non-uniformity model for image segmentation. in order to integrate the spatial information between neighboring ...
