This paper deals with the complex issue of interoperability methods and technologies especially in PLM field. Windchill is one of the most popular PLM software proposing robust solutions to support communication with external information systems. The purpose of this paper is to prospect the interoperability mechanisms offered by PTC editor as a solution to interoperability issue. A new interope...

The contribution of this paper is to propose a systematic approach to the observer design for linear time-varying systems. It is based on the exact rewriting of the original time-varying system into a polytopic linear model (PLM). This transformation uses the sector nonlinearity approach based on the convex polytopic transformation. Then a joint state and parameter observer can be designed for ...

A wavelet approach is presented for estimating a partially linear model (PLM). We find an estimator of the PLM by minimizing the square of the l2 norm of the residual vector with penalizing the l1 norm of the wavelet coefficients of the nonparametric component. This approach, an extension of the wavelet approach for nonparametric regression problems, avoids the restrictive smoothness requiremen...

The Cox proportional hazards model is ubiquitous in time-to-event studies of political processes. Plausible deviations from correct specification and operationalization caused by problems such as measurement error or omitted variables can produce substantial bias when the Cox model is estimated by conventional partial likelihood maximization (PLM). One alternative is an iteratively reweighted r...

CTR prediction in real-world business is a difficult machine learning problem with large scale nonlinear sparse data. In this paper, we introduce an industrial strength solution with model named Large Scale Piece-wise Linear Model (LS-PLM). We formulate the learning problem with L1 and L2,1 regularizers, leading to a non-convex and non-smooth optimization problem. Then, we propose a novel algor...

Today, within the global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach, success of design, industrialization and production activities depends on the ability to coordinate and improve the interaction among information systems that handle such activities. Enterprises deploy mainly the PLM system, the Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in order to...

Spatial arrangement of neurite branching is instructed by both attractive and repulsive cues. Here we show that in C. elegans, the Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins specify neurite branching sites in the PLM mechanosensory neurons. Wnts function through MIG-1/Frizzled and the planar cell polarity protein (PCP) VANG-1/Strabismus/Vangl2 to restrict the formation of F-actin patches, which mark ...

The cross-lingual pronoun prediction task at WMT 2016 requires to restore the missing target pronouns from source text and target lemmatized and POS-tagged translations. We study the benefits for this task of a specific Pronoun Language Model (PLM), which captures the likelihood of a pronoun given the gender and number of the nouns or pronouns preceding it, on the target-side only. Experimentin...

Packet-pair receiver-driven cumulative Layer Multicast (PLM) and Fair Layer Increase Decrease with Dynamic Layering (FLID-DL) are two of the recently proposed receiver-driven layered multicast congestion control protocols improved from the famous layered multicast protocols (RLM and RLC). Both have been evaluated by their authors and claim a few advances for layered multicast congestion control...

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a strategy of managing a company’s products all the way across their lifecycles. Empowered by new capabilities, intelligent products enable seamless information flow and thus enable closed-loop PLM. Hence, one phenomenon of particular interest is the appreciation of beginning of life activities through middle of life information. Grounded on empirical data ...
