In this paper a methodology for feature selection in named entity recognition is proposed. Unlike traditional named entity recognition approaches which mainly consider accuracy improvement as the sole objective, the ...

The inexact primal-dual interior point method which is discussed in this paper chooses a new iterate along an approximation to the Newton direction. The method is the Kojima, Megiddo, andMizuno globally convergent ...

The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve how goods are produced and services are delivered is a feature of everyday life in developed countries. If ICT is used appropriately, it has the ...

Equal weighting of low- and high-confidence observations occurs for Huber, Talwar, and Barya weighting functions when Newton’s method is used to solve robust linear regression problems. This leads to easy updates and/or ...

We formulate a general Association rule mining model for extracting useful information from very large databases. An interactive Association rule mining system is designed using a combination of genetic algorithms and a ...

Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), broadly defined, facilitate by electronic means the creation, storage, management and dissemination of information. ICT is both a vehicle for communication and a means ...

Increased adoption of eCommerce and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the private sector often leads to expanded economic growth by opening new markets, increasing access to market information, and improving ...

Multimedia applications or real-time applications such as audio and video on demand, teleconferencing and whiteboard sharing require Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee assurance. QoS constraints, namely required bandwidth, ...
