Guided Local Search for query reformulation using weight propagation

Issam Moghrabi (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A new technique for query reformulation that assesses the relevance of retrieved documents using weight propagation is proposed. The technique uses a Guided Local Search (GLS) in conjunction with the latent semantic indexing model (to semantically cluster documents together) and Lexical Matching (LM). The GLS algorithm is used to construct a minimum spanning tree that is later employed in the reformulation process. The computations done for Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), LM and the minimum...

Handwritten digit recognition by combined classifiers

M. Breukelen, Robert P. W. Duin, David M. J. Tax, J. E. den Hartog (1998)

Kybernetika

Classifiers can be combined to reduce classification errors. We did experiments on a data set consisting of different sets of features of handwritten digits. Different types of classifiers were trained on these feature sets. The performances of these classifiers and combination rules were tested. The best results were acquired with the mean, median and product combination rules. The product was best for combining linear classifiers, the median for k -NN classifiers. Training a classifier on all features...

Hausdorff Distances for Searching in Binary Text Images

Andreev, Andrey, Kirov, Nikolay (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This work has been partially supported by Grant No. DO 02-275, 16.12.2008, Bulgarian NSF, Ministry of Education and Science.Hausdorff distance (HD) seems the most efficient instrument for measuring how far two compact non-empty subsets of a metric space are from each other. This paper considers the possibilities provided by HD and some of its modifications used recently by many authors for resemblance between binary text images. Summarizing part of the existing word image matching methods, relied...

Hierarchical text categorization using fuzzy relational thesaurus

Domonkos Tikk, Jae Dong Yang, Sun Lee Bang (2003)

Kybernetika

Text categorization is the classification to assign a text document to an appropriate category in a predefined set of categories. We present a new approach for the text categorization by means of Fuzzy Relational Thesaurus (FRT). FRT is a multilevel category system that stores and maintains adaptive local dictionary for each category. The goal of our approach is twofold; to develop a reliable text categorization method on a certain subject domain, and to expand the initial FRT by automatically added...

Homogeneous aggregation operators

Tatiana Rückschlossová, Roman Rückschloss (2006)

Kybernetika

Recently, the utilization of invariant aggregation operators, i.e., aggregation operators not depending on a given scale of measurement was found as a very current theme. One type of invariantness of aggregation operators is the homogeneity what means that an aggregation operator is invariant with respect to multiplication by a constant. We present here a complete characterization of homogeneous aggregation operators. We discuss a relationship between homogeneity, kernel property and shift-invariance...

How to secure a high quality knowledge base in a rulebased system with uncertainty

Beata Jankowska (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Although the first rule-based systems were created as early as thirty years ago, this methodology of expert systems designing still proves to be useful. It becomes especially important in medical applications, while treating evidence given in an electronic format. Constructing the knowledge base of a rule-based system and, especially, of a system with uncertainty is a difficult task because of the size of this base as well as its heterogeneous character. The base consists of facts, ordinary rules...
