resource limitation in zero time may cause to some profitable projects not to be selected in project selection problem, thus simultaneous project portfolio selection and scheduling problem has received significant attention. in this study, budget, investment costs and earnings are considered to be stochastic. the objectives are maximizing net present values of selected projects and minimizing v...

Indian languages are MoR-FWO1 and hence differ from English in structure and morphology. There are many distinguished characteristics possessed by Indian languages. While working with these languages we have to keep in mind, these characteristics and plan strategies accordingly. We worked on improving Dependency Parsing for Indian Languages, more specifically for Hindi, an Indo-Aryan Language. ...

In this paper, to cope with the stochastic dynamic (or multi-period) problem, two new quadratic assignment-based mathematical models corresponding to the dynamic and static approaches are developed. The product demands are presumed to be dependent uncertain variables with normal distribution having known expectation, variance, and covariance that change from one period to the next one, randomly...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate functional outcomes, care needs and cost-efficiency of specialist rehabilitation for a multicentre cohort of inpatients with complex neurological disability, comparing different diagnostic groups across 3 levels of dependency. DESIGN A multicentre cohort analysis of prospectively collected clinical data from the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) national ...

Non-projectivity is an important theoretical and computational concept that has been investigated extensively in the dependency grammar/parsing paradigms. However, from a human sentence processing perspective, non-projectivity has received very little attention. In this paper, we look at existing work and propose new factors related to processing non-projective configuration. We argue that (a) ...

In memory-based models of human sentence processing it is assumed that the completion of a dependency between a syntactic head and its dependents is a major source of processing difficulty in non-ambiguous sentences, and that this integration cost is a function of the distance between the two elements. However, it remains open how to measure the distance between two dependent elements. While ma...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology conducts an ongoing series of Speaker Recognition Evaluations (SRE). Recently a new paradigm was adopted to evaluate the performance of speaker recognition systems in which three distributions of target, known non-target, and unknown non-target scores, as well as two thresholds were employed. The new detection cost function was defined to be an...

In behavioral studies on sentence comprehension, much evidence indicates that shorter dependencies are preferred over longer dependencies, and that longer dependencies incur a greater processing cost. However, it remains uncertain which of the various steps involved in the processing of long-distance dependencies is responsible for the increased cost of longer dependencies. Previous sentence co...
