Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus-Based Analysis on Cross-Domain Experiments in Classification-and-Ranking GenerationAida Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Ramlan Mahmod, Mohd. Hasan SelamatProblem statement: Overgeneration-and-ranking architecture works well in written language where sentence is the basic unit. However, in spoken language where utterance is the basic unit, the disadvantage becomes critical as spoken language also render intentions, hence short strings may be of equivalent impact. Approach: In classification-and-ranking, response was deliberately chosen from dialogue corpus rather than wholly generated, such that it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Design Framework for End-of-Life Vehicles Recovery: Optimization of Disassembly Sequence Using Genetic AlgorithmsT. F. Go, D. A. Wahab, M.N. Ab. Rahman, R. RamliProblem statement: It is expected that over the next few years type approval legislation and public awareness will force vehicle manufacturers to identify recovery methods during the design process in order to achieve reuse and recycling targets. Current vehicle design in Malaysia does not sufficiently aid the economic recovery of parts and materials to reach these targets. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
