Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMapping Learning Algorithms on Data, a Useful Step for Optimizing Performances and Their ComparisonFilippo NeriIn this paper, we propose a novel methodology to map learning algorithms on data (performance map) in order to gain more insights into the distribution of their performances across their parameter space. This methodology provides useful information when selecting a learner's best configuration for the data at hand and it also enhances the comparison of learners across learning contexts. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 9 · 10 Jul 2024 · 4,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExplicit Direct Integrators of RK Type for Solving Special Fifth-Order Ordinary Differential EquationsMohammed S. Mechee, Murtaza A. KadhimThe main contribution of this paper is the development of direct explicit methods of Runge-Kutta (RK) type for solving special fifth-Order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). For this purpose, we have generalized RKD and RKT methods of special third and fourth-order ODEs. Using Taylor expansion, we have derived the algebraic equations of algebraic equations of order conditions for the proposed RKM … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2016 · 7,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStill Image Compression Using Texture and Non Texture Prediction ModelG. Mohanbaabu, P. RenugaProblem statement: Existing lossless image compression schemes attempt to do prediction in an image data using their Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and their spatial neighborhood based techniques. In the previous techniques such as Vector Quantization (VQ) and Gradient Adjusted Prediction (GAP) the texture and non-texture regions are not classified separately. Texture and Non-texture images prophecy has been a key factor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasuring the Resiliency of the Manhattan Points of Entry in the Face of Severe DisruptionMayada Omer, Ali Mostashari, Roshanak NilchianiProblem statement: Resilient infrastructure systems are able to continue to provide the expected service levels following disruptive events. Implementing resiliency in infrastructure systems requires knowledge of the current resiliency of the system and a methodology by which different resiliency strategies can be evaluated. In the transportation infrastructure in particular, disruptions cause delays, which will in turn incur substantial economic losses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2011 · 9,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Ensemble Method for Regression via Classification ProblemsSami M. Halawani, Ibrahim A. Albidewi, Amir AhmadProblem statement: Regression via Classification (RvC) is a method in which a regression problem is converted into a classification problem. A discretization process is used to covert continuous target value to classes. The discretized data can be used with classifiers as a classification problem. Approach: In this study, we use a discretization method, Extreme Randomized Discretization (ERD), in which bin … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,383 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApplication of CART Algorithm in Blood Donors ClassificationT. Santhanam, Shyam SundaramProblem statement: This study used data mining modeling techniques to examine the blood donor classification. The availability of blood in blood banks is a critical and important aspect in a healthcare system. Blood banks (in the developing countries context) are typically based on a healthy person voluntarily donating blood and is used for transfusions or made into medications.
