A NEURAL NETWORK APPROACH FOR GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION WITH APPLICATIONS
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract: We propose a neural network approach for global optimization with applications to nonlinear least square problems. The center idea is defined by the algorithm that is developed from neural network learning. By searching in the neighborhood of the target trajectory in the state ...
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIOS FOR MEASURING SALIENCY OF FEATURES EXTRACTED BY EIGENVECTOR METHODS FROM ECG SIGNALS
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract: Medical diagnostic accuracies can be improved when the pattern is simplified through representation by important features. Features are used to represent patterns with minimal loss of important information. The feature vector, which is comprised of the set of all features used ...
WAVE PROBABILISTIES AND QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract: The paper continues with the theory of wave probabilistic models and uses the inclusion-exclusion rule to describe quantum entanglement as a wave probabilities resonance principle. The achieved results are mathematically described and an illustrative example is shown to ...
HIERARCHICAL DECOMPOSITION OF MULTICLASS PROBLEMS
Sep 01, 2008; ... Abstract: Several popular Machine Learning techniques are originally designed for the solution of two-class problems. However, several classification problems have more than two classes. One approach to deal with multiclass problems using binary classifiers is to decompose the multiclass ...
PROSODY OPTIMISATION OF A CZECH LANGUAGE SYNTHESIZER
Jul 01, 2008; ... Abstract: Each national language is described by specific grammatical rules. But rule-based knowledge representations alone cannot be used for the natural flow of speech. In this paper, optimisation of the naturalness of speech, i.e. the optimal choice of phonetic and phonologic ...
TUNING STRUGGLE STRATEGY IN GENETIC ALGORITHMS FOR SCHEDULING IN COMPUTATIONAL GRIDS
May 01, 2008; ... Abstract: Job Scheduling in Computational Grids is gaining importance due to the need for efficient large-scale Grid-enabled applications. Among different optimization techniques designed for the problem, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a popular class of solution methods. As GAs are high level ...
MODEL OF PERCEPTION: THE HIERARCHY OF INCLUSIVE SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AND TOP-DOWN CASCADE TRANSFER OF EXCITATION
May 01, 2008; ... Abstract: The article offers a new view on the organization of the processes of human perception. It introduces the concept of inclusive sensory characteristic, which is a response of a given perceptual level to those features or characteristics of an underlying level whose spatial organization ...
VIGILANCE AND HYPNAGOGIUM DETERMINATION OF DRIVERS BY EEG ANALYSIS
Mar 01, 2008; ... Abstract: EEG activities with open eyes in a quiet state (OA), during the pseudo-Raven's test (PRA), in hypnagogic state (HYP) and in the course of REM sleep (REM) are characteristic by nearly flat curves. We observed the states with eyes closed (OC), with hyperventilation (HV), during mental ...
TRAFFIC CONTROL IN VIRTUAL MODEL OF A REAL CITY
Mar 01, 2008; ... Abstract: The traffic control is an essential part of autonomous movement of different kinds of vehicles in a virtual model of a (real) city. By the traffic control we mean not only collisions avoiding and optimal setting of traffic lights. The movement should be realistic enough too, so ...
