background: one of the factors that can improve self-concept and performance of staff is professional maturity. professional maturity can also solve the problems of self-concept. the purpose of this paper was to identify the relationship between the dimensions of self-concept and professional maturity.   materials and methods: this relative applicable study was performed on all the personnel (n...

In this paper, we propose novel gossip algorithms for the low-rank decentralized matrix completion problem. The proposed approach is on the Riemannian Grassmann manifold that allows local matrix completion by different agents while achieving asymptotic consensus on the global low-rank factors. The resulting approach is scalable and parallelizable. Our numerical experiments show the good perform...

Completing a matrix from a small subset of its entries, i.e., matrix completion, is a challenging problem arising from many real-world applications, such as machine learning and computer vision. One popular approach to solving the matrix completion problem is based on low-rank decomposition/factorization. Low-rank matrix decomposition-based methods often require a pre-specified rank, which is d...

MOTIVATION Identifying drug-target interactions is an important task in drug discovery. To reduce heavy time and financial cost in experimental way, many computational approaches have been proposed. Although these approaches have used many different principles, their performance is far from satisfactory, especially in predicting drug-target interactions of new candidate drugs or targets. METH...

The rank aggregation problem has been studied extensively in recent years with a focus on how to combine several different rankers to obtain a consensus aggregate ranker. We study the rank aggregation problem from a different perspective: how the individual input rankers impact the performance of the aggregate ranker. We develop a general statistical framework based on a model of how the indivi...

The cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. One of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. We are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...
