Since early-stage decisions have the largest impact on climate related emissions, if modelling is to help deliver zero carbon designs, tools are needed that can be used by those involved at this stage. By contrast, require a detailed description of building or specialist less usefulness point in design cycle. So, just how simple models (mathematically and interface-wise), give meaningful answer...

Count data with excessive zeros are ubiquitous in healthcare, medical, and scientific studies. There numerous articles that show how to fit Poisson other models which account for the zeros. However, many situations, besides zero, frequency of another count k tends be higher data. The zero- k-inflated distribution model (ZkIP) is appropriate such situations ZkIP essentially a mixture degenerate ...

In Japanese, zero references often occur and many of them are categorized into zero exophora, in which a referent is not mentioned in the document. However, previous studies have focused on only zero endophora, in which a referent explicitly appears. We present a zero reference resolution model considering zero exophora and author/reader of a document. To deal with zero exophora, our model adds...

An automatic algorithm for indexing dialogue scenes in multimedia content is proposed. The content is segmented into dialogue scenes using the state transitions of a hidden Markov model (HMM). Each shot is classified using both audio and visual information to determine the state/scene transitions for this model. Face detection and silence/speech/music classification are the basic tools which ar...
