Recent success of statistical corpus-based methods in a variety of areas of speech and language processing has led to the widespread view that traditional hand-built “rule-based” approaches are moribund. This is a misconception. As I shall argue in this talk, it is unlikely that rule-based approaches will ever be eliminated. Two examples are given to support this conclusion; one where the lingu...

Most of the data mining methods in real-world intelligent systems are attribute-based machine learning methods such as neural networks, nearest neighbors and decision trees. They are relatively simple,efficient, and can handle noisy data. However, these methods have two strong limitations: (1) the background knowledge can be expressed in rather limited form and (2) the lack of relations other t...

introduction rainfall erosivity, the propulsion or power of causing erosion in separation and transport of soil particles, is in relation to water erosion. rainfall erosion is causing loss of soil, damage to agriculture and infrastructures which is followed by water pollution. changes in rainfall patterns exacerbate risk of erosion globally. rainfall erosivity plays an effective role in soil er...
