We investigate the generation of new concepts from combinations of properties as an artificial language develops. To do so, we have developed a new framework for conjunctive concept combination. This framework gives a semantic grounding to the weighted sum approach to concept combination seen in the literature. We implement the framework in a multi-agent simulation of language evolution and sho...

Numeric-valued similarity measures are the traditional means used in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems for case retrieval, and for procedures such as clustering analysis and case classification. Similarity measures are customarily combined using the technique of taking the weighted sum of a vector of similarity values, each determined by the application of a single component measure. Osborne, ...

In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...

the aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of moghani sheep, using random regression models based on b-splines functions. the data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from jafar-abad animal research and breeding institute, ardabil province,...

by the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis andhermite-hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete hardy-hilbert-type inequalityrelated to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possibleconstant factor expressed in terms of the extended riemann-zeta function is proved.the more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm,the reverses a...

Port logistics has developed rapidly, but due to late start, poor foundation, and other reasons, there are still some deficiencies in the development process; for example, port capacity is weak, low efficiency hindered of ports. Therefore, this paper puts forward evaluation model function based on entropy weight TOPSIS (Technique Order Preference by Similarity an Ideal Solution) method. Analyze...
