Fast-growing scientific papers bring the problem of rapidly and accurately finding a list of reference papers for a given manuscript. Reference paper recommendation is an essential technology to overcome this obstacle. In this paper, we study the problem of personalized query-focused astronomy reference...

Nowadays, children have access to Internet on a regular basis. Just like the real world, the Internet has many unsafe locations where kids may be exposed to inappropriate content in the form of obscene, aggressive, erotic or rude comments. In this work, we address the problem of detecting erotic/sexual...

It is shown that the celebrated Menelaus relation, Hirota–Miwa bilinear equation for KP hierarchy and Fay's trisecant formula similar to the WDVV equation are associativity conditions for structure constants of certain three-dimensional quasi-algebra.

This paper presents a novel method on building relationship between the vision features of the terrain images and the terrain traversability which manifests the difficulty of field robot traveling across one terrain. Vision features of the image are extracted based on color and texture. The travesability...

For secure biometric verification, most existing methods embed biometric information directly into the cover image, but content correlation analysis between the biometric image and the cover image is often ignored. In this paper, we propose a novel biometric image hiding approach based on the content...

In this work we analyze the key issue of the relationship that should hold between the operators in a family {} of aggregation operators in order to understand they properly define a whole. Here we extend some of the ideas about stability of a family of aggregation operators into a more general framework,...

Prospect theory is a very effective method to express behavioral decision making under uncertainty. This paper attempts to develop a method to multi-attribute decision making with Atanassov's interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information using prospect theory. This method first transforms Atanassov's...

Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers (MOPSOs) are easily trapped in local optima, cost more function evaluations and suffer from the curse of dimensionality. A scalable cooperative coevolution and ?-dominance based MOPSO (CEPSO) is proposed to address these issues. In CEPSO, Multi-objective Optimization...

The modified Camassa-Holm (also called FORQ) equation is one of numerous cousins of the Camassa-Holm equation possessing non-smoth solitons (peakons) as special solutions. The peakon sector of solutions is not uniquely defined: in one peakon sector (dissipativea) the Sobolev H1 norm is not preserved,...

Nonlocal symmetries for exactly integrable three-field evolutionary systems have been com- puted. Differentiation the nonlocal symmetries with respect to x gives a few hyperbolic systems for each evolution system. Zero curvature representations for all nonlocal systems and for some of the hyperbolic...

Governments and other agencies repeated many important surveys at regular time intervals, but the population mean is estimated mainly using the latest survey. Time series estimators for the population mean using repeated surveys are superior to those obtained from the last survey. This superiority may...

Starting from the Lax pairs, the nonlocal symmetries of the coupled variable-coefficient Newell-Whitehead system are obtained.

The Lorentz-group of transformations usually consists of linear transformations of the coordinates, keeping as invariant the norm of the four-vector in (Minkowski) space-time. Besides those linear transformations, one may construct different forms of nonlinear transformations of the coordinates keeping...

Tap changing operations of multiple transformers at a substation is a complex problem due to issues in controlling the parallel operations of the transformers involved, differences in manufacturer's design and inaccuracy of the measures. In earlier work Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based tap changer...
