This paper presents the TITech summarization system participating in TAC2009. Specifically, we discuss our results for the Update track. We propose a new method for creating summaries by ordering sentences. After a draft summary is obtained, we conduct agglomerative hierarchical clustering on the sentences of the draft summary based on sentence associativity. Then we use a probabilistic method ...

this paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with a clustering supplier problem in a supply chain system. during recent years, determining suitable suppliers in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. however, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. in general, many quantitative and qualitative factors, such as quality, price, and fl...

In this paper, we consider that agents judge the feasible alternatives through linguistic terms –when they are confident in their opinions– or linguistic expressions formed by several consecutive linguistic terms –when they hesitate. In this context, we propose an agglomerative hierarchical clustering process where the clusters of agents are generated by using a distance-based consensus measure.

We define a class of Euclidean distances on weighted graphs, enabling to perform thermodynamic soft graph clustering. The class can be constructed form the “raw coordinates” encountered in spectral clustering, and can be extended by means of higher-dimensional embeddings (Schoenberg transformations). Geographical flow data, properly conditioned, illustrate the procedure as well as visualization...

We present a short introduction to an hierarchical clustering method of high-dimensional data via localized

This paper analyzes the effects of network positions and individual risk attitudes on individuals’ strategic decisions in an experiment where actions are strategic substitutes. The game theoretic basis for our experiment is the model of Bramoullé and Kranton (2007). In particular, we are interested in disentangling the influence of global, local and individual factors. We study subjects’ strate...

vehicular ad-hoc network (vanet) is an important component of intelligent transportation systems, in which vehicles are equipped with on-board computing and communication devices which enable vehicle-to-vehicle communication. consequently, with regard to larger communication due to the greater number of vehicles, stability of connectivity would be a challenging problem. clustering technique as ...

Spend your few moment to read a book even only few pages. Reading book is not obligation and force for everybody. When you don't want to read, you can get punishment from the publisher. Read a book becomes a choice of your different characteristics. Many people with reading habit will always be enjoyable to read, or on the contrary. For some reasons, this innovations in fuzzy clustering theory ...
