Similarity-based grouping of data entries in one or more data sources is a task underlying many different data management tasks, such as, structuring search results, removal of redundancy in databases and data integration. Similarity-based grouping of data entries is not a trivial task in the context of life science data sources as the stored data is complex, highly correlated and represented a...

One-sided matching under transferable utility is well understood when groups of size two are being formed. In this setting, complementarity or substitutability of types in the group payoff function completely pins down key features of the equilibrium matching pattern, without it being necessary to know the distribution of types or specifics of the payoff function. This note explores equilibrium...

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a 2-stage approach to connected curve grouping. The algorithm is experimented and demonstrated on crack-detected images of paintings. Some features are left undetected and this tends to produce disconnected curves. In order to extract high-level features for content-based application, these supposedly connected curves have to be grouped together. It is one of ...

Present-day healthcare witnesses a growing demand for coordination of patient care. Coordination is needed especially in those cases in which hospitals have structured healthcare into specialty-oriented units, while a substantial portion of patient care is not limited to single units. From a logistic point of view, this multi-disciplinary patient care creates a tension between controlling the h...

Keyphrases are important in capturing the content of a document and thus useful for many natural language processing tasks such as Information Retrieval, Document Classification, and Text Summarization. Keyphrase extraction aims to identify multi-word sequences from a collection of documents that more or less correspond to keyphrases. In this paper, we propose a new method for keyphrase extract...

there was a turning point in each period of time which human has discovered a new sight about the world and nature order in a way, and then has presented this relation by numeral, artful and industrial language. biourbanism focuses on the urban organism, considering it as a hyper complex system, according to its internal and external dynamics and their mutual interactions. nowadays when it is t...

Motivation for arranging business rules is not confined to efficient processing of rules, as in case of traditional rule bases, but to aid in decision making as well. Efficient processing and ease of decision making, therefore, are the twin objectives behind arranging and grouping of business rules as envisaged by business rules approach to system development. This paper strives to make a begin...
