While Active Learning (AL) has already been shown to markedly reduce the annotation efforts for many sequence labeling tasks compared to random selection, AL remains unconcerned about the internal structure of the selected sequences (typically, sentences). We propose a semisupervised AL approach for sequence labeling where only highly uncertain subsequences are presented to human annotators, wh...

the sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in persian gulf of iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. the importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. in this paper, magnetorheological (mr) fluid dampers have been propos...

One of the best vibration control methods using smart actuators are semi-active approaches which are as strong as active methods and need no external energy supply such as passive ones. Compared with piezoelectric-based, magnetostrictive-based control methods have higher coupling efficiency, higher Curie temperature, higher flexibility to be integrated with curved structures and no depolarizati...
