the concept of intelligently controlling the search process of gravitational search algorithm (gsa) is introduced to develop a novel data mining technique. the proposed method is called fuzzy gsa miner (fgsa-miner). at first a fuzzy controller is designed for adaptively controlling the gravitational coefficient and the number of effective objects, as two important parameters which play major ro...

computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...

background: the time and frequency features of motor unit action potentials (muaps) extracted from electromyographic (emg) signal provide discriminative information for diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. however, the results of conventional automatic diagnosis methods using muap features is not convincing yet. objective: the main goal in designing a muap characterization system...

basically, medical diagnosis problems are the most effective component of treatment policies. recently, significant advances have been formed in medical diagnosis fields using data mining techniques. data mining or knowledge discovery is searching large databases to discover patterns and evaluate the probability of next occurrences. in this paper, bayesian classifier is used as a non-linear dat...

This paper presents a new rule-based method to identify Spanish zero pronouns. The paper describes the comparative evaluation of a baseline method for the identification of zero pronouns with an approach that supplements the baseline by adding a set of restrictions treating impersonal sentences and other zero subject expressions. The identification rules have been tested on a new corpus in whic...

This paper describes how semantic bridges realized in terms of rulebased ontology mappings can be incorporated into BPEL processes. The approach is explained by applying it to a semantic system integration scenario in the eBusiness domain defined as the “purchase order mediation” scenario in the context of the Semantic Web Service Challenge. The presented approach relies strongly on the existin...

The G_DACG (Genetic Discovery of Additive Cartesian Granule feature models) constructive induction algorithm is presented as a means of automatically identifying rulebased Cartesian granule feature models from example data. G_DACG combines the powerful search capabilities of genetic programming with a rather novel and cheap fitness function based upon the semantic separation of learnt concepts ...
