Contour Crafting is an emerging technology that uses robotics to construct free form building structures by repeatedly laying down layers of material such as concrete. The Contour Crafting technology scales up automated additive fabrication from building small industrial parts to constructing buildings. Tool path planning and optimization for Contour Crafting benefit the technology by increasin...

This paper aims to assess the application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. To this end, 10000 Four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

This paper presents a new strategy based on Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for damping Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine environment. The recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the ABC optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in power ...

When building machine translation systems, one often needs to make the best out of heterogeneous sets parallel data in training, and robustly handle inputs from unexpected domains testing. This multi-domain scenario has attracted a lot recent work that fall under general umbrella transfer learning. In this study, we revisit translation, with aim formulate motivations for developing such systems...

Prediction of cancer survivability using machine learning techniques has become a popular approach in recent years. ‎In this regard, an important issue is that preparation of some features may need conducting difficult and costly experiments while these features have less significant impacts on the final decision and can be ignored from the feature set‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎developing a machine for p...
