Accessibility of high-throughput genotyping technology makes possible genome-wide association studies for common complex diseases. When dealing with common diseases, it is necessary to search and analyze multiple independent causes resulted from interactions of multiple genes scattered over the entire genome. This becomes computationally challenging since interaction even of pairs gene variatio...

It is well known that two complementary learning modules are important to achieve human-level language understanding: one gradually acquires structured representations of knowledge from language, the other quickly learns the episodic memory composed of individual knowledge. In this paper, we suggest a new machine learning model which combines symbolic and neuronal approaches to construct the co...

Three experiments demonstrate that remembering someone's name facilitates their compliance with a purchase request made by the rememberer. Experiment 1 shows that name remembrance increases request compliance, but name forgetting does not cause a decrease in compliance. Experiments 2 and 3 show that name remembrance is perceived as a compliment by the person remembered, which mediates complianc...

Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Analytics (BA) are very fast moving fields which have evolved greatly from fields such as Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Today the focus of much research in BI centers on the notion of the BI software platform and its analytic capabilities. The implications of the term business intelligence are much broader, however, and indicate ...
