Data reduction has been used widely in data mining for convenient analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) methods are popular techniques. The PCA and FA reduce the number of variables to avoid the curse of dimensionality. The curse of dimensionality is to increase the computing time exponentially in proportion to the number of variables. So, many methods have been ...

Phrase–based machine translation (PBMT) relies upon the phrase-table as the main resource for bilingual knowledge at decoding time. A phrase table in its basic form includes aligned phrases along with four probabilities indicating aspects of the co-occurrence statistics for each phrase pair. In this paper we add a new semantic similarity score as a statistical feature to enrich the phrase table...

The author has proposed a rule of probability revision dictating that identical learning be reflected in identical ratios of new to old odds. Following this rule ensures that the final result of a sequence of probability revisions is undisturbed by an alteration in the temporal order of the learning prompting these revisions. There is also a close connection between this rule and an intriguing ...

We consider online job scheduling together with power management on multiple machines. In this model, jobs with arbitrary sizes and weights arrive online, and each machine consumes different amount of energy when it is processing a job, idling or sleeping. A scheduler has to maintain a good balance of the states of the machines to avoid energy wastage, while giving an efficient schedule of the ...

This study investigates the use of industrial wastes like Fly Ash (FA), Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS), and Quartz Powder (QP) as alternatives to cement, Copper (CS) fine aggregate in Geopolymer blocks (GPB). The mix ratio 1:3 one part binder 3 parts copper slag, 8M, 10M NaOH, Na2SiO3 solutions are used Alkaline Activator Solution (AAS). Two types GPB1 (Mortar Blocks) GPB2 (Aerated...
