the relationship between added value of economic activities and the governments budget along with the impact of this budget on the employment of economic activities are among the issues that economic decision-makers and analysts assume to be crucial. classification of statistical data has not yet allowed experts and decision-makers to evaluate the governments role in production and employment i...

Graph Echo State Networks (GraphESN) extend the Reservoir Computing approach to directly process graph structures. The reservoir is applied to every vertex of an input graph, realizing a contractive encoding process and resulting in a structured state isomorphic to the input. Whenever an unstructured output is required, a state mapping function maps the structured state into a fixed-size featur...

Concerned is residual generation in systems with mild nonlinearities, that is, nonlinearities which involve the inputs, outputs and faults but not the state. It is shown how structured residuals can be designed by the parity space method, in discrete time, if mild nonlinearities are present. Next a number of fundamental links between the parity space and the input-output representations are exp...

Better energy management will result in substantial savings in the operating costs of facilities especially in the case of large building portfolios such as university campuses. Continuous energy management relies on a seamless energy performance evaluation process. But even then, it is hard to find an established and objective method for energy performance evaluation. The objective of this pap...

Robust knowledge consists of both conceptual and procedural knowledge. In order to address both types of knowledge, offering students opportunities to explore target concepts in an exploratory learning environment (ELE) is insufficient. Instead, we need to combine exploratory learning environments, to support students acquisition of conceptual knowledge, with more structured learning environmen...

This paper takes Tianjin for example and analyzes the development tend of scientific and technological progress in Tianjin. From five aspects as ‘environment of scientific and technological progress’, ‘input of scientific and technological activities’, ‘output of scientific and technological activities’, ‘high-tech industrialization’, ‘science and technology for economic and social development’...

In this paper we tackle a unique and important problem of extracting a structured order from the conversation a customer has with an order taker at a restaurant. This is motivated by an actual system under development to assist in the order taking process. We develop a sequence-tosequence model that is able to map from unstructured conversational input to the structured form that is conveyed to...
