Hem analitzat les principals deficiències dels mètodes d'avaluació actuals, les quals es deuen, al nostre parer, als principis de qualitat superficials en els que es basen. En comptes de limitar-nos al nivell lèxic, proposem una nova direcció cap a avaluacions més heterogènies. El nostre enfocament es basa en el disseny d'un

Abstract:

<p>Metric indexing is a branch of search technology that is designed for search non-textual data. Examples of this includes image search (where the search query is an image), document search (finding documents that are roughly equal) to search in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Metric indexing is based on the theory of metric spaces, where the only thing known about a set of objects is the distance between them (defined by a metric distance function). A large number of methods have been proposed to solve the metric indexing problem. In this thesis, we have concentrated on new approaches to

Context. Software products are usually developed for either a specific customer (bespoke) or a broader market (market-driven). Due to their characteristics, bespoke and market-driven development face different problems, especially in the requirements engineering areas. Moreover, many of these problems are caused by an inadequate requirements engineering process. Hence, in order to improve the process and subsequently the software quality, the maturity of the RE process must be evaluated.

When coupled with even larger unfunded retirement health benefits, the looming threat of insolvent state retirement systems pose both current and long-term fiscal challenges to state governments already struggling with the ongoing economic downturn and billions

A new method of assessing curvature change with this technique was employed with limited success.

Abstract:

In decision theory the process of selecting the best option is called preferential choice. Many personal, business, and professional preferential choice decisions are made every day. In these situations, a decision maker must select the optimal option among multiple alternatives. In order to do this, she must be able to analyze a model of her preferences with respect to the objectives that are important to her. Prescriptive decision theory suggests several ways to effectively develop a decision model. However, these methods often end up too tedious and complicated to apply to complex deci

This thesis describes an empirical evaluation of semi-supervised and active learning individually, and in combination for the naïve Bayes classifier. Active learning aims to minimise the amount of labelled data required to train the classifier by using the model to direct the labelling of the most informative unlabelled examples. The key difficulty with active learning is that the initial model often gives a poor direction for labelling the unlabelled data in the early stages. However, using both labelled and unlabelled data with semi-supervised learning might be achieve a better initial mode

Abstract:

Since the 1960s, the Phillips curve has survived various significant changes (Kuhnian paradigm shifts) in macroeconomic theory and generated endless controversies. This dissertation revisits several important, representative papers throughout the curve's four historical, formative periods: Phillips' foundational paper in 1958, the wage determination literature in the 1960s, the expectations-augmented Phillips curve in the 1970s, and the latest New Keynesian iteration. The purpose is to provide a retrospective evaluation of the curve's empirical evidence. In each period, the preeminent role of

Abstract:

<p>This paper aims at implementing (or) extending the evaluation of Exhaustion Dominated Performance, a method used to compute the impact of the available memory and bandwidth over the execution time of a simulation software. This method has already been performed and tested using High Performance Linpack (a de facto for bench marking process) [1]. But in this paper, the experiment is repeated using the real world simulation software so as to prove that the method is applicable in practical. The thesis was conducted using the same experimental conditions and the results obtained proved that th

Abstract:

One of the difficulties of human figure tracking is that humans move their bodies in complex, non-linear ways. An effective computational model of human motion could therefore be of great benefit in figure tracking. We are interested in the use of a class of dynamic models called switching linear dynamic systems for figure tracking. This thesis makes two contributions. First, we present an empirical analysis of some of the technical issues involved with applying linear dynamic systems to figure tracking. The lack of high-level theory in this area makes this type of empirical study valuabl
