Modeling Strategic Relationships for Process Reengineering

by Eric Siu-kwong Yu , 1995
"... Existing models for describing a process (such as a business process or a software development process) tend to focus on the \what " or the \how " of the process. For example, a health insurance claim process would typically be described in terms of a number of steps for assessing and appr ..."

plans? An understanding of the motivations and interests of process participants is often crucial to the successful redesign of processes. This thesis proposes a modelling framework i (pronounced i-star) consisting of two modelling components. The Strategic Dependency (SD) model describes a process

Mining Frequent Patterns without Candidate Generation: A Frequent-Pattern Tree Approach

by Jiawei Han, Jian Pei, Yiwen Yin, Runying Mao - DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY , 2004
"... Mining frequent patterns in transaction databases, time-series databases, and many other kinds of databases has been studied popularly in data mining research. Most of the previous studies adopt an Apriori-like candidate set generation-and-test approach. However, candidate set generation is still co ..."

costly, especially when there exist a large number of patterns and/or long patterns. In this study, we propose a novel frequent-pattern tree (FP-tree) structure, which is an extended prefix-tree structure for storing compressed, crucial information about frequent patterns, and develop an efficient FP

© InternationalJournal.org The First Stage of an Architectural Design in a Complex Situation: A Crucial Task

by Shohre Shahnoori, The Netherl
"... Abstract: Modern architectural design is originally a complex and sophisticated skill as it is composed of art, science, and techniques. Therefore, the complexity will further grow by any circumstantial complication that interferes with available design solutions. These circumstantial causes may for ..."

from the beginning of the design. In the current study, the context for designing for reconstruction of houses in a desert circumstance at the first stage of design has been explored. Recognition of the actual need of the inhabitants in an architectural design in a seismic desert is crucially important

Ego depletion: is the active self a limited resource

by Roy E Baumeister, Ellen Bratslavsky, Mark Muraven, Dianne M. Tice - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1998
"... Choice, active response, self-regulation, and other volition may all draw on a common inner resource. In Experiment 1, people who forced themselves to eat radishes instead of tempting chocolates subsequently quit faster on unsolvable puzzles than people who had not had to exert self-control over eat ..."

JS: Expectancy-Value Theory of Achievement Motivation

by Allan Wigfield, Jacquelynne S. Eccles - Contemporary Educational Psychology
"... We discuss the expectancy–value theory of motivation, focusing on an expectancy–value model developed and researched by Eccles, Wigfield, and their colleagues. Definitions of crucial constructs in the model, including ability beliefs, expectancies for success, and the components of subjective task v ..."

Deictic Codes for the Embodiment of Cognition

by Dana H. Ballard, Mary M. Hayhoe, Polly K. Pook, Rajesh P. N. Rao, Short Abstract - Behavioral and Brain Sciences , 1995
"... To describe phenomena that occur at different time scales, computational models of the brain must necessarily incorporate different levels of abstraction. We argue that at time scales of approximately one-third of a second, orienting movements of the body play a crucial role in cognition and form a ..."

Cheap and Fast — But is it Good? Evaluating Non-Expert Annotations for Natural Language Tasks

by Rion Snow, Daniel Jurafsky, Andrew Y. Ng
"... Human linguistic annotation is crucial for many natural language processing tasks but can be expensive and time-consuming. We explore the use of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk system, a significantly cheaper and faster method for collecting annotations from a broad base of paid non-expert contributors ove ..."

Tractable inference for complex stochastic processes

by Xavier Boyen - In Proc. UAI , 1998
"... The monitoring and control of any dynamic system depends crucially on the ability to reason about its current status and its future trajectory. In the case of a stochastic system, these tasks typically involve the use of a belief state—a probability distribution over the state of the process at a gi ..."

Separating style and content with bilinear models

by Joshua B. Tenenbaum, William T. Freeman - NEURAL COMPUTATION , 2000
"... PERCEPTUAL systems routinely separate content from style, classifying familiar words spoken in an unfamiliar accent, identifying a font or handwriting style across letters, or recognizing a familiar face or object seen under unfamiliar viewing conditions. Yet a general and tractable computational mo ..."

efficient learning algorithms. Here we show how perceptual systems may learn to solve these crucial tasks using surprisingly simple bilinear models. We report promising results in three realistic perceptual domains: spoken vowel classification with a benchmark multi-speaker database, extrapolation of fonts
