We describe extensions to the \best-basis" method to select orthonormal bases suitable for signal classiica-tion and regression problems from a large collection of orthonormal bases. For classiication problems, we select the basis which maximizes relative entropy of time-frequency energy distributions among classes. For regression problems, we select the basis which tries to minimize the regres...

Recently there has been a lot of interest in the extrac tion of symbolic rules from neural networks The work described in this paper is concerned with an evaluation and comparison of the accuracy and complexity of sym bolic rules extracted from radial basis function networks and multi layer perceptrons Here we examine the abil ity of rule extraction algorithms to extract meaningful rules that d...

In this article a texture feature extrac tion scheme based on M band wavelet packet frames is investigated The features so extracted are used for segmentation of satellite images which usually have complex and overlapping boundaries The underly ing principle is based on the fact that di erent im age regions exhibit di erent textures Since most signi cant information of a texture often lies in t...

Articular cartilage is a hyaline cartilage that consists primarily of extracellular matrix with a sparse population of cells, lacking blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves. The only cell type within cartilage is the chondrocyte and has a low level of metabolic activity with little or no cell division and is the responsible for maintaining in a low-turnover state the unique composition and...

The design of a VLSI circuit consists of a description of the circuit in terms of its components and subcomponents at various levels of detail To verify that the layout of a VLSI circuit conforms to its design one needs to work back wards from the lowest level description of the circuit and recognize the higher level components it constitutes This paper is concerned with the application of logi...

Relation extraction refers to the method of efficient detection and identification of prede‐ fined semantic relationships within a set of entities in text documents (Zelenco, Aone, & Ri‐ chardella, 2003; Zhang, Zhou, and Aiti, 2008). The importance of this method was recognized first at the Message Understanding Conference (MUC, 2001) that had been held from 1987 to 1997 under the supervision o...

Term extraction is the task of automatically detecting, from textual corpora, lexical units that designate concepts in thematically restricted domains (e.g. medicine). Current systems for term extraction integrate linguistic and statistical cues to perform the detection of terms. The best results have been obtained when some kind of combination of simple base term extractors is performed 14]. I...

The AGS Slow Extracted Beam (SEB) must be chopped with 250 ps bursts every 40 ns to permit time-of-flight (ToF) measurement of the secondary K 0 beam. Standard techniques to produce this level of bunching would require excessive rf voltage, thus we have developed a “MicroBunching” technique of extracting the beam as it is forced between empty rf buckets. A specification of the required rf syste...
