The ability to automatically extract information from the footnotes of financial statements simplifies access to critical information concerning public companies. However, extraction can be particularly challenging due to great variations in the filing structure and terminologies used. Hierarchical formalization of text becomes a necessity in such circumstances. This is facilitated by the creat...

in this paper, an effective numerical method is introduced for the treatment of nonlinear two-dimensional volterra-fredholm integro-differential equations. here, we use the so-called two-dimensional block-pulse functions.first, the two-dimensional block-pulse operational matrix of integration and differentiation has been presented. then, by using this matrices, the nonlinear two-dimensional vol...

We present a method for mapping a structure to a related taxonomy in a thematically consistent way. The components of the structure are supplied with fuzzy profiles over the taxonomy. These are then generalized in two steps: first, by fuzzy clustering, and then by mapping the clusters to higher ranks of the taxonomy. To be specific, we concentrate on the Computer Sciences area represented by th...

A hybrid of two novel methods additive fuzzy spectral clustering and lifting method over a taxonomy is applied to analyse the research activities of a department. To be specific, we concentrate on the Computer Sciences area represented by the ACM Computing Classification System (ACM-CCS), but the approach is applicable also to other taxonomies. Clusters of the taxonomy subjects are extracted us...
