Considerable attention has been devoted to the development of feature selection algorithms for various applications in the last decade. Most of them concentrate to the single attributes. In contrast, limited research work has been devoted to determine correlated and pairwise attributes or features due to the difficulty of the problem.

Recent studies have shown that reward history acts as a powerful attentional bias, even overcoming top-down goals. This has led to the suggestion that rewards belong to a class of attentional cues based on selection history, which are defined by past outcomes with a stimulus feature. Selection history is thought to be separate from traditional attentional cues based on physical salience and vol...

Material handling equipment plays an important role in the design and development of advance manufacturing systems (AMS) like flexible manufacturing systems. Material handling equipments affects the performance and productivity of these advance manufacturing systems. So it becomes very important to select a right kind of equipment while designing the high end manufacturing systems like FMS. In ...
