A Hybrid Local Search for Simplified Protein Structure Prediction
cs.CE
Protein structure prediction based on Hydrophobic-Polar energy model essentially becomes searching for a conformation having a compact hydrophobic core at the center. The hydrophobic core minimizes the interaction energy between the amino acids of the given protein. Local search algorithms can quickly find very good co...

Adaptive Measurement-Based Policy-Driven QoS Management with Fuzzy-Rule-based Resource Allocation
cs.NI
Fixed and wireless networks are increasingly converging towards common connectivity with IP-based core networks. Providing effective end-to-end resource and QoS management in such complex heterogeneous converged network scenarios requires unified, adaptive and scalable solutions to integrate and co-ordinate diverse QoS...

Automatic ontology generation for data mining using fca and clustering
cs.DB
Motivated by the increased need for formalized representations of the domain of Data Mining, the success of using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Ontology in several Computer Science fields, we present in this paper a new approach for automatic generation of Fuzzy Ontology of Data Mining (FODM), through the fusion of...

Unsupervised learning human's activities by overexpressed recognized non-speech sounds
cs.AI
Human activity and environment produces sounds such as, at home, the noise produced by water, cough, or television. These sounds can be used to determine the activity in the environment. The objective is to monitor a person's activity or determine his environment using a single low cost microphone by sound analysis. Th...

A novel local search based on variable-focusing for random K-SAT
cs.AI
We introduce a new local search algorithm for satisfiability problems. Usual approaches focus uniformly on unsatisfied clauses. The new method works by picking uniformly random variables in unsatisfied clauses. A Variable-based Focused Metropolis Search (V-FMS) is then applied to random 3-SAT. We show that it is quite ...

Sound, Complete and Minimal UCQ-Rewriting for Existential Rules
cs.AI
We address the issue of Ontology-Based Data Access, with ontologies represented in the framework of existential rules, also known as Datalog+/-. A well-known approach involves rewriting the query using ontological knowledge. We focus here on the basic rewriting technique which consists of rewriting the initial query in...

Structural Weights in Ontology Matching
cs.AI
Ontology matching finds correspondences between similar entities of different ontologies. Two ontologies may be similar in some aspects such as structure, semantic etc. Most ontology matching systems integrate multiple matchers to extract all the similarities that two ontologies may have. Thus, we face a major problem ...

Inferring Multilateral Relations from Dynamic Pairwise Interactions
cs.AI
Correlations between anomalous activity patterns can yield pertinent information about complex social processes: a significant deviation from normal behavior, exhibited simultaneously by multiple pairs of actors, provides evidence for some underlying relationship involving those pairs---i.e., a multilateral relation. W...

Towards a New Science of a Clinical Data Intelligence
cs.CY
In this paper we define Clinical Data Intelligence as the analysis of data generated in the clinical routine with the goal of improving patient care. We define a science of a Clinical Data Intelligence as a data analysis that permits the derivation of scientific, i.e., generalizable and reliable results. We argue that ...

A Constraint Programming Approach for Mining Sequential Patterns in a Sequence Database
cs.AI
Constraint-based pattern discovery is at the core of numerous data mining tasks. Patterns are extracted with respect to a given set of constraints (frequency, closedness, size, etc). In the context of sequential pattern mining, a large number of devoted techniques have been developed for solving particular classes of c...

Solving Minimum Vertex Cover Problem Using Learning Automata
cs.AI
Minimum vertex cover problem is an NP-Hard problem with the aim of finding minimum number of vertices to cover graph. In this paper, a learning automaton based algorithm is proposed to find minimum vertex cover in graph. In the proposed algorithm, each vertex of graph is equipped with a learning automaton that has two ...
