Risk patterns are crucial in biomedical research and have served as an important factor precision health disease prevention. Despite recent development parallel high-performance computing, existing risk pattern mining methods still struggle with problems caused by large-scale datasets, such redundant candidate generation, inability to discover long significant patterns, prolonged post filtering...

The syntactic information latent in any coherent text can be exploited to overcome some inadequacies of keyword-based retrieval and make information retrieval more eeective. We have earlier quantitatively demonstrated how syntactic information is useful in ltering out irrelevant documents. We have implemented a system which exploits a rich syntactic representation of supertags in a exible manne...

Mining frequent patterns from large databases plays an essential role in many data mining tasks and has broad applications. Most of the previously proposed methods adopt apriorilike candidate-generation-and-test approaches. However, those methods may encounter serious challenges when mining datasets with prolific patterns and/or long patterns. In this work, we develop a class of novel and effic...

In this paper, we propose a new task decomposition method, Task Decomposition with Pattern Distributor (PD), for multilayered feedforward neural networks. The method uses a combination of network modules in parallel and series to generate the overall solution for a complex problem. We also introduce a method called reduced pattern training in PD networks. This method aims to improve the perform...

A visual configuration, or pattern, has qualities over and above those which can be specified by designating the physical properties of each element of the pattern. The Gestalt psychologists have particularly emphasized the fact that a pattern also has organization, that it exists as an entity. This Gestalt property does not exist in the same amount for all patterns, so we speak of the "goodnes...

This paper aims to help the writers of pattern languages build better pattern languages. It focuses not on the esthetics of pattern languages, but on their structure: how patterns work together to build a system. The paper assumes that a pattern language is a designed system and, therefore, theory about system design and evolution underlies the language. In particular, the process of symmetry b...

Complimenting behavior, as a common speech act of human beings, has become an intriguing topic in linguistics and its sub-branches. Compliment responses can be seen as solutions for maintaining a balance between (1) a preference to avoid self-praise and (2) a preference to accept or agree with the compliment (Pomerantz 1978). In the present study, the definition of a compliment draws on the wor...
