We develop abc-logitboost, based on the prior work on abc-boost[10] and robust logitboost[11]. Our extensive experiments on a variety of datasets demonstrate the considerable improvement of abc-logitboost over logitboost and abc-mart.

People use “name” in general to reference things easily. In addition, one name may refer to various types of things or objects (one name – many objects). For example, a convenience store named “Family Mart” uses this single name for every branch. Similarly, names are also important in all computer communication. Name services have been developed to map logical names to physical resources. The s...

Nowadays, decisional systems have became a significant research topic in databases. Data warehouses and data marts are the main elements of such systems. This paper presents our decisional support system. We present graphical interfaces which help the administrator to build data warehouses and data marts. We present a data warehouse building interface based on an object-oriented conceptual mode...

This article quantifies the impact of Wal-Mart Supercenters on supermarkets’ profitability via a two-stage dynamic entry game, using method of simulated moments and milk scanner data from Dallas/Fort Worth supermarkets. The empirical findings show that the entry of Wal-Mart Supercenters accounts for about an average 50% decrease in milk profit margins for incumbent supermarkets. Effects of scal...

The second task was the development of a continuous monitor which would decide when and what data to screen. We devised a process whereby all drug orders are queued to be screened as soon as they are stored into the data mart. When new non-drug, pertinent information is stored into the data mart (e.g. age, weight, height, labs) all future and active drug orders for that patient are queued to be...

Among the iterative reconstruction algorithms for tomography, the multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) has two advantages that make it stand out from other algorithms: it confines the image (and therefore the projection data) to the convex hull of the patient, and it maximizes entropy. In this paper, we have undertaken a series of experiments to determine the importance of M...

The paper discusses substation IED data integration and its importance for implementation of automated analysis solutions. Recorded data collected from various substation IEDs is stored into a substation data mart that utilizes standardized file formats and a database interface. The data mart provides a foundation for multiple uses of substation data. Utilities are faced with a challenge of how...

The Web has profoundly reshaped our vision of information management and processing, enlightening the power of a collaborative model of information production and consumption. This new vision influences the Knowledge Discovery in Databases domain as well. In this paper we propose a serviceoriented, semantic-supported approach to the development of a platform for sharing and reuse of resources (...
