From Random Forests to Flood Forecasts: A Research to Operations Success Story

From Architecture to Requirements: A Success Story

User requirements for telecommunication systems are difficult to understand because they are obscured by a long history of ad hoc feature development and technological limitations. The presence of a viable modular architecture for telecommunication features gives us a fresh start. Working within this framework, we can discover desirable properties that ought to be requirements for all telecommu...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Application of Simulation Models in Operations – A Success Story

Process simulation models can offer significant capabilities for operating personnel to analyze and troubleshoot current performance and to develop optimum responses in a proactive manner. This can increase agility in decision making, improve reliability and lower operating cost. Historically, only engineers have had the knowledge of how to utilize these process models. Limited engineering reso...

Random Prism: An Alternative to Random Forests

Ensemble learning techniques generate multiple classifiers, so called base classifiers, whose combined classification results are used in order to increase the overall classification accuracy. In most ensemble classifiers the base classifiers are based on the Top Down Induction of Decision Trees (TDIDT) approach. However, an alternative approach for the induction of rule based classifiers is th...
