This paper presents a theoretical and practical novel approach for computing the probability density function underlying a set of observations. The estimator we propose is an extension of the conventional Parzen Rosenblatt method that leads to a very specific interval-valued estimation of the density. Within this approach, we make use of the convenient representation of a set of usual (summative)...
Object-attribute-value-relationships, which are a frequently used data structure to code real-world problems,are formalized via many-valued contexts in formal concept analysis (FCA). The aim of FCA is to explore (formal) concepts from empirical data contexts. A concept of a context consists of two parts: the extent (objects the concept covers) and the intent (attributes describing the concept). From...
A rewrite closure is an extension of a term rewrite system with new rules, usually deduced by transitivity. Rewrite closures have the nice property that all rewrite derivations can be transformed into derivations of a simple form. This property has been useful for proving decidability results in term rewriting. Unfortunately, when the term rewrite system is not linear, the construction of a rewrite...
Managing photos by using visual features (e.g., color and texture) is known to be a powerful, yet imprecise, retrieval paradigm because of the semantic gap problem. The same is true if search relies only on keywords (or tags), derived from either the image context or user-provided annotations. In this paper we present a new multi-faceted image search and browsing system, named Scenique, that allows...
Many real-world problems demand a feasible solution to satisfy physical equilibrium, stability, or certain properties which require an additional lower level optimization problem to be solved. Although such bilevel problems are studied somewhat in the context of a single objective in each level, there are not many studies in which multiple conflicting objectives are considered in each level. Bilevel...
This paper presents our PABRE method for facilitating requirements elicitation on the basis of requirement patterns with the goal of saving time and reducing errors during this activity. The process presented applies for elicitation in off-the-shelf selection projects driven by call for tenders processes and uses a requirement patterns catalogue. The process selects patterns from the catalogue that...
Today, for enabling intelligent decision and high accuracy of recognition in service robots, many researchers supplement robot's knowledge model using the additional knowledge. However, the construction of the knowledge requiring much effort and domain experts fully depends on man power by few people. Thus, this paper proposes a fully automated process of acquiring domain knowledge and representing...
