This paper contains corrections to published results on the RAMpage memory hierarchy. The originally published results contained erroneous values for cache miss penalties for a conventional cache architecture against which the RAMpage hierarchy was being compared. The incorrect results showed that RAMpage with context switches on misses to DRAM had similar performance to a conventional 2-way as...

ion hierarchies can be used in a straightforward way to compute the similarity of corresponding case features [Kolodner, 1993, p. 346-7]. To assess the degree of similarity of two different values, one finds their most specific common ancestor in the hierarchy (“MSCA”). The similarity of two cases can then be computed by converting the MSCAs for each shared feature to a numerical score (perhaps...

An extension to the recent dimensionality-reduction technique t-SNE is proposed. The extension facilitates t-SNE to handle mixed-type datasets. Each attribute of the data is associated with a distance hierarchy which allows the distance between numeric values and between categorical values be measured in a unified manner. More importantly, domain knowledge regarding semantic distance between ca...

According to IFRS 7, banks have to disclose the inputs used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. For this purpose the standard defines a three-level measurement hierarchy. The reliability of fair values is expected to decrease with decreasing hierarchy level due to the lower quality of the input factors. Using a value relevance research setting, I find that investors perceive t...

In this paper a novel algorithm is proposed that integrates the process of fuzzy hierarchy generation and rule discovery for automated discovery of Production Rules with Fuzzy Hierarchy (PRFH) in large databases. A concept of frequency matrix (Freq) introduced to summarize large database that helps in minimizing the number of database accesses, identification and removal of irrelevant attribute...
