The explosive growth of multimedia data on the Internet has magnified challenge information retrieval. Multimedia usually emerges in different modalities, such as image, text, video, and audio. Unsupervised cross-modal hashing techniques that support searching among multi-modal have gained importance large-scale retrieval tasks because advantage low storage cost high efficiency. Current methods...

Recently, multi-view representation learning has become a rapidly growing direction in machine learning and data mining areas. This paper first reviews the root methods and theories on multi-view representation learning, especially on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and its several extensions. And then we investigate the advancement of multi-view representation learning that ranges from sh...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...

In recent years some multi-mode pushover procedures taking into account higher mode effects, have been proposed. The responses of considered modes are combined by the quadratic combination rules, while using the elastic modal combination rules in the inelastic phases is not valid. Here, an optimum weighted mode combination method for nonlinear static analysis is presented. Genetic algorithm is ...

BACKGROUND Active commuters have lower risk of chronic disease. Understanding which of the, to some extent, modifiable characteristics of public transportation that facilitate its use is thus important in a public health perspective. The aim of the study was to examine the association between individual public transportation accessibility and self-reported active commuting, and whether the asso...

For continuous multi-objective optimization problems there exists an infinite number of solutions on the Paretooptimal front. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm attempts to find a representative set of the Pareto-optimal solutions. In the case of multi-objective multi-modal problems, there exist multiple decision vectors which map to identical objective vectors on Pareto front. Many multi...

The rapid development of multimodal transportation system prompts travellers to choose multiple transportation modes, such as private vehicles or taxi, transit (subways or buses), or park-and-ride combinations for urban trips. Traffic corridor is a major scenario that supports travellers to commute from suburban residential areas to central working areas. Studying their modal choice behaviour i...

Multi-modal test execution allows execution of the same test against various layers of a software system, e.g. the GUI layer, the web service layer and the business logic layer. Multi-modal test execution helps with identifying the location of software bugs during debugging and maintenance as well as in tracking the progress of the development effort. This paper presents a method that effective...

today, transportation of hazardous materials (i.e., hazmat) is a very important issue for researchersdue to the risk of this transit, which should be considered for development of industries and transportation.therefore, a model that is useful should consider the risk and damage to humanitarianand environmental issues due to transit of hazmat materials. by considering the related cost, thereali...

the lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. it is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (manfis) are proposed for this behavior. these models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a driver...
