Centered around the model of ESDDM, a software evolution process model based on evolution behavior interface, and the knowledge of component classification and component retrieval evaluation, this paper furthered previous work by proposing a component reusability evaluation method based on fuzzy mathematics. The method provides an effective way of evaluating the reusable ability of a certain component...
Prior to 9/11, the intelligence process and tools used by our government were primarily directed at known threats with well understood functions and activities. However, with the rising importance of non-state actors and asymmetric threats, threat-focused processes and tools are now directed at known threats whose functions and activities are not well understood [1]. Today's intelligence environment...
Textual Entailment (TE) is the task of recognizing entailment, paraphrase, and contradiction relations between a given text pair. The goal of textual entailment research is to develop a core inference component that can be applied to various domains, such as IR or NLP. Since the domain that a TE system applies to may be different from its source domain, it is crucial to develop proper datasets for...
This report showed some physico-chemical properties and structural features about UL41 protein predicted by some software and on-line tools. The analysis showed both the signal peptide and the trans membrance region are not found. Meanwhile, the protein has twenty-four potential phosphorylation sites. In addition, the protein has more hydrophilic amine acid districts than hydrophobic districts and...
Identifying cultural discrepancies in worldviews is of high priority to Cultural Intelligence (CULINT). This paper presents a CULINT computer-based methodology for increasing cultural awareness. By automatically identifying themes/motifs in textual data and using machine translation, we expose cultural discrepancies in cultural understanding. This novel methodology is empirically tested through the...
Inter-subject correspondence is an important aspect of multi-subject fMRI studies. Recently, a new approach, called hyperalignment, has shown very promising results in fMRI functional alignment. Hyperalignment is based on Procrustean rotations and is connected, mathematically, to canonical correlation analysis. We review the core details of each approach, relate them through an SVD analysis, and indicate...
This paper presents an approach for evaluating domain specific linguistic ontology. The approach used a set of questions pertaining to the internal structure of the ontology and employed to evaluate the SemQ linguistic ontology, an ontology for representing semantic oppositions in the Holy Quran. We believe following such an approach for evaluating linguistic ontologies will create a custom-specific...
This research proves that in an undergraduate Basic Digital Technology course, communication between teachers and students can be increased through the use of feedback comment sheets, which is effective in performing conceptual teaching. With the use of conceptual teaching, students become more active towards learning, gaining intrinsic motivation and confidence as they communicate more with the teacher...
In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, the Personas methodology is used to communicate the user's preferences, goals, frustrations and requirements. Although a widely used method, little progress has been made in creating a personas model. This paper aims to provide such a conceptual model, which includes concepts and properties used in the personas methodology, via an OWL specification.
The objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of using Conway's game of life to solve the problem on printed Lanna character recognition. Pattern recognition can be defined as the objects identification on the basis of information available about it. The problem on character recognition has been discussed to find out the best solution and various recognition methods have been implemented...
This experiment investigated the kansei information and movement characteristics that observers use to perceive expressions of joy in dance. Expressing joy with movements by dancers was recorded. Observers then rated words related to kansei and characteristics of the movements. The results of factor analyses and multiple regression analyses indicated that the expression of joy in dance has particular...
Physical-virtual humans combine work in physical animatronics and virtual humans to achieve virtual humans with physical manifestations. In this article I introduce the idea of a physical-virtual human along with potential applications, potential concerns, and some historically related work. I then discuss challenges and opportunities related to applications involving physical-virtual avatars, patients,...
Slang is one of the problems encountered in developing Lexical Database. There is no complete source officially for slangs in any language. This research attempts to create a list of Indonesian slangs using the proposed framework and methodology. The contents for slangs are generated by Twitter; therefore it can encounter the newest slangs available in the society.
Opportunistic networks, as opposed to classic ones, rely on human-carried devices. This leads to a high mobility of all the nodes in the network and a very dynamic topology. Developing good forwarding algorithms for optimum routing in opportunistic networks presents a specific set of challenges. The most notable forwarding solutions rely on social human mobility patterns. They depend on several key...
A smart phone and a tablet terminal with a NFC function are spreading by standardization of NFC technology. The authors are interested in the exchange support between the participants in the off-line meeting. The authors focus on participants' mutual communication in off-line meetings. It is rare to perform exchange in an actual meeting place, although there is a relation called a friend or a follower...
By existing literature, it is observed that the concept of government governance mechanism is a black box, with very few studies specialized to analyze its elements and structure. Guided by the theory of fact, this paper tries to unclose this black box. The paper first investigates the elements of government governance elements, including governance entity, governance information, governance field,...
The prediction of HR supply is an important item of HR management in enterprises. This thesis proposes the prediction method of Markov chain, highlights the relevant principle, and indicates the specific application with instances.
This paper presents the results of an ongoing project whose objective is to develop a model and a simulation that, used as Decision Support System, aid the heads of Hospital Emergency Departments to make the best informed decisions possible. The defined model is a pure Agent-Based Model, formed entirely of the rules governing the behavior of the agents that populate the system. Two distinct types...
With the development of market economy, staff performance appraisal has been an important part of human resource management. However, due to the influence of old economic system, staff performance appraisal is susceptible to external factors and lack of effectiveness and orientation. Through analysis of the power enterprise, this paper proposes a quantitative and hierarchical assessment index system...
In this paper we present a salient object detection model from an over-segmented image. The input image is initially segmented by the mean-shift segmentation algorithm and then over-segmented by a quad mesh to even smaller segments. Such segmented regions overcome the disadvantage of using patches or single pixels to compute saliency. Segments that are similar and spread over the image receive low...
