A gure-ground segregation network is proposed based on a novel boundary pair representation. Nodes in the network are boundary segments obtained through local grouping. Each node is excitatorily coupled with the neighboring nodes that belong to the same region, and inhibitorily coupled with the corresponding paired node. Gestalt grouping rules are incorporated by modulating connections. The sta...

Knowledge acquisition (KA) plays an important role in building knowledge based systems (KBS). However, evaluating different KA techniques has been difficult because of the costs of using human expertise in experimental studies. In this paper, we first address the problem of evaluating knowledge acquisition methods. Then, we develop an analysis of the types of errors a human expert makes in buil...

A real-time visual processing theory is used to analyze and explain a wide variety of perceptual grouping and segmentation phenomena, including the grouping of textured images, randomly defined images, and images built up from periodic scenic elements. The theory explains how "local" feature processing and "emergent" features work together to segment a scene, how segmentations may arise across ...

This study aims to identify organizational factors and individual that shape performance analyze have a dominant contribution the of lecturers at STIE AMM Mataram. type research is descriptive exploratory research. Data were collected by questionnaire documentation techniques. analysis using factor analysis. Based on from results grouping based loading variance, 22 existing reduced 7 groups had...

Current expert systems are typically difficult to change once they are built. This paper introduces a method for developing more easily maintainable rule-based expert systems, which is based on dividing the rules into groups and focusing attention on those facts that carry information between rules in different groups. It describes a new algorithm for grouping the rules of a knowledge base auto...

In this paper, we describe EMMA (E-Mail Management Assistant), an e-mail system that addresses the process of e-mail management, from initially sorting messages into virtual folders, to prioritizing, reading, replying (automatically or semi-automatically), archiving and deleting mail items. EMMA attains a high degree of accuracy on email classification by using a rule-based approach known as Ri...

The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (the IDS-NF) has recently completed the Interim Design Report (IDR) for the facility as a step on the way to the Reference Design Report (RDR). The IDR has two functions: it marks the point in the IDS-NF at which the emphasis turns to the engineering studies required to deliver the RDR and it documents the present baseline design for the f...

Association Rules revealed by association rule mining may contain some sensitive rules, which may cause potential threats towards privacy and protection. Association rule hiding is a competent solution that helps enterprises keeps away from the hazards caused by sensitive knowledge leakage when sharing the data in their collaborations. This study shows how to protect actionable knowledge for st...

We present an approach for tempo induction that is based on a more perception-oriented analysis of inter-onset intervals. Therefore we utilize auditory grouping concepts and define some rules for their formation. Finally, we show preliminary results that confirm our aim of improving the quality of tempo induction by reducing the amount of perceptually irrelevant data.
