As regards of the necessity of ranking efficient units different Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are introduced. Each of the existing models has advantages and deals with ranking efficient units from special aspects. But, there exist no model has all these benefits in a unified manner. The aim of this paper is to present a new ranking method which can incorporate, to a great extent, adva...

The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a system, component, or process. One important issue of FMEA is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. Risk ranking is produced in order to prioritize the focus on each of the failure modes that are identified. In this study, we applied...

We present the notion of Ranking for evaluation of two-class classifiers. Ranking is based on using the ordering information contained in the output of a scoring model, rather than just setting a classification threshold. Using this ordering information, we can evaluate the model's performance with regard to complex goal functions, such as the cor rect identification of the k most likely and/or...

In this paper, we present a new string pattern matching-based passage ranking algorithm for extending traditional textbased QA toward videoQA. Users interact with our videoQA system through natural language questions, while our system returns passage fragments with corresponding video clips as answers. We collect 75.6 hours videos and 253 Chinese questions for evaluation. The experimental resul...

In today’s highly rival market, an effective supplier selection process is vital to the success of any manufacturing system. Selecting the appropriate supplier is always a difficult task because suppliers posses varied strengths and weaknesses that necessitate careful evaluations prior to suppliers’ ranking. This is a complex process with many subjective and objective factors to consider ...

Runtime verification of distributed systems poses various challenges. A pivotal challenge is the choice of how to distribute the monitors themselves across the system. On one hand, centralised monitoring may result in increased communication overhead and information exposure across locations, while, on the other hand, systems with dynamic topologies and properties are difficult to address using...

The VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method, which is a multi-criteria decision-making examined in this paper. like other MCDM techniques such as the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), widely used solve complex problems various fields engineering, management, and finance. This paper provides an overview including its applicati...
