あらまし 分散情報表現を用いた神経回路網において,同じ入力から文脈に応じて異なるパターンを連想する 際には,主に入力パターンに文脈を表すパターンを連結する方法が用いられてきた.しかし,この方法には本質 的な問題点があり,入力及び文脈パターンの数に関して強い制約が生じていた.本論文では,これとは異なる文 脈修飾の方式を非単調神経回路網に適用することによって,従来の問題点を解決する文脈依存的連想モデルを構 築する.このモデルでは,入力及び文脈パターン数に関係なく,学習できる連合の数が素子数にほぼ比例して増 加する.また,文脈を切り換えることによって,アトラクタ間の状態遷移を自在に制御することができる.本モ デルは,素子数や学習時間の爆発を招くことなく任意の有限オートマトンの動作を模擬可能であると同時に,完 全な分散表現に基づく高い汎化能力を備えており,従来の記号処理の限界を打破する可能性...

A free learning portal designed to help faculty to teach, learn, and connect with others in the fields of data warehousing, DSS/BI, and database is being made available by Teradata, a division of NCR. Teradata worked closely with leading academics to create the Teradata University Network (www.teradatauniversitynetwork.com). The network is reached by faculty through a portal that includes (1) c...

How do reasons combine? How is it that several reasons taken together can have a combined weight which exceeds the weight of any one alone? I propose an answer in mereological terms: reasons combine by composing a further, complex reason of which they are parts. eir combined weight is the weight of their combination. I develop a mereological framework, and use this to investigate some structur...

In this work we suggest an approach to comparing fuzzy numbers motivated by a probabilistic view of the underlying uncertainty. An important aspect of the method suggested is its context dependency, the numbers being compared a€ect the process. We discuss the e€ect of decision attitude and show that this approach is particularly useful for aiding decision makers having a temperate decision atti...

This is the first time the workshop on „Value-Sensitive Design of Internet-Based Services: Towards an Integration of Technology and Values” takes place as part of the German “INFORMATIK 2016” conference in Klagenfurt on September 29 2016. The workshop brings together researchers that deal with questions of value-sensitive design and delivery of Internet-based services from different disciplinar...

Although much has been written about TQM, little attention has been paid to the potential effects of contextual factors on TQM and TQM–performance relationships. The use of organizational theory to formulate propositions regarding the effects of such factors is especially scarce in the TQM literature. This study uses institutional theory and contingency theory as the basis to test a number of s...

Jelölje [n] az {1, 2, ..., n} halmazt, 2[n] pedig [n] összes részhalmazát. Vegyünk egy F ⊂ 2[n] halmazrendszert. |F| maximumát keressük, ha bármely r részhalmaz metszete legalább s elem¶, és bármely ` különböz® halmaz metszete legfeljebb t elem¶, a paraméterek különféle vásztása mellett. Az r = 2, s = t = 1 esetben, tehát amikor bármely két halmaz metszete nemüres, de bármely ` különböz® halmaz...

The problem of composing a system using well-behaved components is discussed. Specifically, necessary conditions for preserving the behaviour in a system context are analysed in this paper. Such conditions are defined as Context-Dependent Constraints (CDC). A non-formal approach is taken based on common system integration errors. It is suggested that the identification and verification of CDCs ...

Merlin is a collaborative concept map that enables students to discuss their ideas. The agent in Merlin aims to monitor the students’ content of discussion in order to provide context-sensitive help.
