This paper presents a biologically-inspired compositional hierarchical model for MIR. The model can be treated as a deep learning model, and poses an alternative to deep architectures based on neural networks. Its main features are generativeness and transparency that allow clear insight into concepts learned from the input music signals. The model consists of multiple layers, each is composed ...

This paper addresses the problem of extracting information from textual documents, either normal documents or web pages. A new approach for extracting complicate information from semi-structured documents is introduced that exploits a successive hierarchical rule-learning algorithm. Through evaluation it is shown that this approach can extract complicate concepts with a much higher precision th...

Standard concepts of initial and final algebra semantics are generalised in a modular hierarchical manner. The resulting relative formalism allows a unified view on the relationship between initial and final algebra semantics and gives a dualised notion of consistency. Using this, a modular hierarchical approach to proof by consistency is taken by which only top-level equations need be consider...

Weighted polytomous ordering theory (WPOT) is suitable for polytomous data set. It considers the weight on precondition relations between elements. The method WPOT would help us to find the hierarchical structure among elements. The purpose of this paper is to discuss WPOT and utilize it in analyzing the mathematics measurement data. The research applies WPOT in the concept structures analysis ...

In this paper, we deal with the fundamental concepts and properties of ergodicity coefficients in a hierarchical sense by making use of partition. Moreover, we establish a hierarchial Hajnal’s inequality improving some previous results.

Most current object modeling methods and tools have weaknesses both in the concepts of hierarchical composition and in the visualization of these hierarchies. Some methods do not support hierarchical composition at all. Those methods which do, employ tools that provide explosive zoom as the only means for the visualization of hierarchies. In this paper we present an approach for the visualizati...

This panorama of hierarchical organisation in social and natural sciences was intended to improve our understanding of universally emerging hierarchical organisations in nature and society. We expected new insights from the analysis of the scope for circulating concepts and methods between various disciplines. We were searching for a possible general explanation for hierarchical structures. We ...
