The permutation based index has shown to be very effective in medium and high dimensional metric spaces, even in difficult problems such as solving reverse k-nearest neighbor queries. Nevertheless, currently there is no study about which are the desirable features one can ask to a permutant set, or how to select good permutants. Similar to the case of pivots, our experimental results show that,...

There are three basic concepts that underlie human cognition: granulation, organization and causation. Informally, granulation involves decomposition of whole into parts; organization involves integration of parts into whole; and causation involves association of causes with effects. Granulation of an object A leads to a collection of granules of A, with a granule being a clump of points (objec...

Abstract: The teaching fraternity and intellects play an important role in students’ careers as they make students industry-ready. During their teaching, different types of errors. One the neglected aspects during is intellect errors these directly or indirectly impact learning capabilities. scattered literature shows that there are twelve like ‘error coincidence’, ‘senses error’, ‘analogy ‘sub...

The existing expert weight determination method for multi-attribute decision making based on the Pythagorean fuzzy number approach does not make sufficient use of hesitation involved with information, which may cause biased assignment. Therefore, to address issue unknown weights and attribute evaluation numbers in group decision-making problems, a is proposed that improves treatment sets. First...

The permutation based algorithm has been proved unbeatable in high dimensional spaces, requiring O(|P|) distance evaluations when solving similarity queries (where P is the set of permutants); but needs n evaluations of the permutant distance to compute the order to review the metric dataset, requires O(n|P|) space, and does not take much benefit from low dimensionality. There have been several...

So far, methods for ellipsis and anaphor resolution have been developed and the effects of anaphor resolution have been analyzed in the context of statistical information retrieval (IR) of scientific abstracts. No significant improvement has been observed. In this study, the effects of ellipsis and anaphor resolution on proximity searching in a full text database are analyzed. Anaphora and elli...

We integrate insights from the social embeddedness perspective with research on immigrant entrepreneurship to theorize on how family resources influence exit from entrepreneurship among previously unemployed immigrant entrepreneurs. Results from a cohort study of immigrant entrepreneurs in Sweden reveal that family resources are important for immigrants to integrate economically into a country....

The nearest point problem (NPP), i.e., finding the closest points between two disjoint convex hulls, has two classical solutions, the Gilbert–Schlesinger–Kozinec (GSK) and Mitchell–Dem’yanov–Malozemov (MDM) algorithms. When the convex hulls do intersect, NPP has to be stated in terms of reduced convex hulls (RCHs), made up of convex pattern combinations whose coefficients are bound by a mo1 val...
