Relevance, Points of View and Dialogue Modelling

Dialogue Graphs - A Formal and Visual Specification Technique for Dialogue Modelling

This paper presents the formal definition and visual presentation of Dialogue graphs -a visual specification technique for dialogue modelling. The Dialogue graphs are used in TADEUS to support an explicit dialogue modelling stage in a task-oriented and model-based approach to the development of interactive systems and automatic generation of the user interface code. The requirements of such a s...

Relevance vector machine and multivariate adaptive regression spline for modelling ultimate capacity of pile foundation

This study examines the capability of the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) for prediction of ultimate capacity of driven piles and drilled shafts. RVM is a sparse method for training generalized linear models, while MARS technique is basically an adaptive piece-wise regression approach. In this paper, pile capacity prediction models are developed...

Neural Network Modelling of Optimal Robot Movement Using Branch and Bound Tree

In this paper a discrete competitive neural network is introduced to calculate the optimal robot arm movements for processing a considered commitment of tasks, using the branch and bound methodology. A special method based on the branch and bound methodology, modified with a travelling path for adapting in the neural network, is introduced. The main neural network of the system consists of diff...

Interns' View About Basic Medical Sciences: Their Knowledge And Attitude To National Comprehensive Exam And Basic Medical Courses In Isfahan University Of Medical Sciences

Introduction: Medical education in Iran has four stages: Basic Medical Science (BMS), Pathophysiology, Clinical Clerkship, and Internship. The relevance of basic medical course contents to professional practice needs is considered to be a problem in such traditional curriculum. Also, diminished retention of the content is another problem. These two problems are explored in this study. Methods: ...
