Recent advances in sensor based human activity recognition (HAR) have exploited deep hybrid networks to improve the performance. These models combine Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent (RNNs) leverage their complementary advantages, achieve impressive results. However, roles associations of different sensors HAR are not fully considered by these models, leading insufficient mult...

process mining includes the automated discovery of petri nets from event logs. these event logs are the starting point for various discovery and analysis techniques of the process.  in this paper process model is developed using colored petri nets (cpns) and the supporting software package cpn tools. the restaurant process model is represented for the analysis using a combination of process min...

2 Basic Techniques Definition 1 (Increasing event) A RV X is increasing on (Ω,F) if X(ω) 6 X(ω′) whenever ω 6 ω′. it is decreasing if −X is increasing. An event A ∈ F is increasing whenever its indicator function is an increasing variable, i.e., if 1A(ω) 6 1A(ω) whenever ω 6 ω′. Example: 1. Increasing event: The event A(x, y) that there exists an open path joining x to y. 2. Increasing RV: The ...

this paper examines the application of a gis based planning support system, what if? tm, to evaluate alternative growth policies for sustainable urban growth in a rapidly growing city of iran. the paper describes the study area, dorood city, and the what if? model. it then explains the procedures that were used to obtain the required data and to run the model to dorood city. the paper concludes...

this paper measures event risk which is introducing by the ball committee to measure the effect of sudden news. this study calculates event risk by using the data of registered firms in tehran stock market between 1993 and 1994. for computing event risk, we use daily market capitalization for 80 firms during 1993-2009, then dividing these firms to three baskets; big, medium and small. the model...
