We present a Modified-Nodal-Analysis-derived method for developing Wave Digital Filter (WDF) adaptors corresponding to complicated (non-series/parallel) topologies that may include multiport linear elements (e.g. controlled sources and transformers). A second method resolves noncomputable (non-tree-like) arrangements of series/parallel adaptors. As with the familiar 3-port series and parallel a...

Recommender systems research has experienced different stages such as from user preference understanding to content analysis. Typical recommendation algorithms were built on the following bases: (1) assuming users and items are IID, namely independent and identically distributed, and (2) focusing on specific aspects such as user preferences or contents. In reality, complex recommendation tasks ...

It was shown [ 21 that any SFF can be decomposed in this manner. Thus, F(x) is an SFF if, and only if, it can be expressed as the sum of four functions in the form of the above equation. Additional SFF studies are reported in refs. [ 3-51. Another issue that has been recently investigated is the fractional Fourier transform [ 6-91. Two distinct definitions of the fractional Fourier transform ha...

We present a connectionist model of false memories called the Associative Self-Organizing Network (ASON) model. Four mechanisms underlying the Constructive Memory Framework (CMF) guide the design of the ASON model, a connectionist operationalisation of the CMF. Simulation studies of experiments in the DRM paradigm reveal the ASON model to exhibit false memories. In addition, the effects of Mean...

This work compares and contrasts two component frameworks: (1) the web-centric Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) framework and (2) the FIPA-compliant multi-agent system (MAS). FIPA, the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents, provides specifications for agents and agent platforms. Both frameworks are component frameworks; servlets and Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) in the case of J2EE and soft...

Software frameworks have changed significantly since they were described by researchers more than a decade ago. They have entered mainstream use in most domains of software development, and their structure and interaction mechanisms have evolved. This paper provides a revised definition of frameworks and surveys commonly used frameworks to extract two categorizations: a categorization of the di...

This paper describes the textual entailment system of FLL for RITE-2 task in NTCIR-10. Our system is based on a set of local alignments conducted on different linguistic units, such as word, Japanese base phrase, numerical expression, Named Entity, and sentence. Our system uses features obtained from local alignments’ results. We applied our system to Japanese BC task and Japanese MC task at fo...

Sonnet was designed as a visual language for implementing real-time processes. Early design and development of behavioral components has largely focused on the domain of music programming. However, Sonnet’s architecture is well suited to expressing many kinds of real-time activities. In particular, Sonnet is easily extended with new kinds of data types and behavioral components. We have develop...

To better support the creation of narrative-centered tools, developers need a flexible framework to integrate, catalog, select, and reuse narrative models. Computational models of narrative enable the creation of software tools to aid narrative processing, analysis, and generation. Narrativecentered tools explicitly or implicitly embody one or more models of narrative by their definition. Howev...

Millimeter wave technology being an emerging area is still very undeveloped. A substantial research needs to be done in this area as its applications are numerous. In the present endeavor, a rectangular patch antenna is designed on thick substrate and simulated using SONNET software, also a novel analysis technique is developed for circular patch antenna for millimeter wave frequency. The anten...
