We study a projection method with level control for nonsmoooth convex minimization problems. We introduce a changeable level parameter to level control. The level estimates the minimal value of the objective function and is updated in each iteration. We analyse the convergence and estimate the efficiency of this method.

Ontologies are widely used in the field of health-care and life sciences, because of their capability to adapt with such a complex and heterogeneous information. Therefore, the process of ontology construction is important especially with such complex and potentially changeable knowledge; also cooperation between domain specialists and ontology developers is essential, which will improve the re...

Faces are processed by a neural system with distributed anatomical components, but the roles of these components remain unclear. A dominant theory of face perception postulates independent representations of invariant aspects of faces (e.g., identity) in ventral temporal cortex including the fusiform gyrus, and changeable aspects of faces (e.g., emotion) in lateral temporal cortex including the...

Abstract Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from vessels is one of the greatest challenges maritime industry currently facing. International Maritime Organization has set goal reducing CO2 emissions international shipping by at least 40% 2030, compared to 2008. regulations are also leading a progressive reduction ships life span, together with decrease in economic value. To cope these challenges...

Sentiment analysis and emotion detection are tasks with common features but rarely related because they tend to categorize the objects of their studies according to different categories, i.e. positive, negative and neutral values in SA, and emotion labels such as “joy”, “anger” etc. in emotion detection. In this paper we try to bridge this gap, reporting on three crowdsourcing experiments to co...

We present a system that displays travel time predictions in real time on changeable message signs (CMS) in California. Using loop detector data, this system calculates predicted travel times on designated routes every five minutes. An automated process displays the current travel time predictions on the appropriate CMS’s. We demonstrate the benefits of real time travel time prediction. Histori...
