Abstract:

In this thesis we explore prototype theory and random set theory as a foundation for antecedent labels in rule-based systems. In particular, we introduce three learning algorithms for regression problems and we also investigate the use of genetic algorithm as a generic parallleter optimization method for each of these approaches. Two of the learning algorithms generate Takagi-Sugeno rules whilst the third corresponds to a form of regression tree. Within the rules fuzzy labels are represented either through a combination of random set and prototype theory or through a novel extension of prototy

The proposal for a prototype of an Informatorium was developed following the observation that new media and communications technologies were advancing with increasing speed and that only comparably few people were able to understand and use the full range of possibilities offered.In contrast to a library that offers a passive supply for a preexisting demand for knowledge the program of the Informatorium includes implements for the active creation of demand for knowledge. Furthermore it is an accessible storage space for any kind of medium for human knowledge. In making new technologies for the

Abstract:

The present study tests the applicability of Prototype theory, selected among competing theoretical frameworks, to a lexical semantic analysis of verbs, with particular reference to the previously uncharted domain of Modern Greek verbs of motion. A number of the characteristics which Prototype theory established in connection with certain types of nouns are demonstrated to pertain to verbs: their meaning is not a matter of necessary and sufficient conditions, but rather a matter of gradation; their attributes combine in non-arbitrary ways to form categories with fuzzy boundaries the members of

Currently, there is no straightforward design tool that can be used to help in Shell Eco-marathon vehicle design. For this reason, it is difficult to optimize every vehicle parameter for maximum f

The meaning units were grouped together and similar meaning units were given the same content label. This process reflected the belief that knowledge was organized in the middle of

Abstract:

Modeling protean objects, i.e. objects adapting their structure and behavior dynamically with respect to a changeable environment, is often challenging in traditional object-oriented languages. According to the author, the root cause of this problem lies in the class-based conceptual framework embedded in the foundation of the object-oriented para-digm. The proposed paradigm Object Morphology (OM) is greatly influenced by prototype theory developed in the field of cognitive psychology. OM abandons the notion of class and suggests, instead, that the abstractions of protean objects should be est

These expressions contribute to forming an comprehensive conversion narrative, which has part in forming and setting boundaries for the ingroup of believers towards the outgroup(s) of non-believers.

Indeed, the use of concepts has been recognised as being fundamental to a wide range of cognitive skills, including classification, reasoning and memory. Intricately intertwined with language, concepts are at the core of human cognition; but despite a large body or research, their functioning is as of yet not well understood. Nevertheless it remains clear that if intelligent systems are to achieve a level of cognition comparable to humans, they will have to

In an increasing number of use cases, databases face the challenge of managing irregularly structured data. Irregularly structured data is characterized by a quickly evolving variety of entities without a common set of attributes. These entities do not show enough regularity to be captured in a traditional database schema. A common solution is to centralize the diverse entities in a universal table. Usually, this leads to a very sparse table. Although today's techniques allow efficient storage of sparse universal tables, query efficiency is still a problem. Queries that reference only a subset

Results indicate that these models fit indoor tanning data moderately to extremely well. Two lesser known models, problem behavior theory and the terror management health model,

Abstract:

Management projektů a jejich rizik je v současnosti rozvíjející se disciplína, která si získává stále větší pozornost a uplatnění v praxi. Tato práce popisuje úvod do problematiky řízení rizik, zkoumání metod jejich identifikace, vyhodnocení a managementu, předcházení jejich následkům a jejich zvládání. V další části práce byla provedena analýza vzorků rizik z reálných projektů, byly popsány metody pro identifikaci a vyhodnocení následků rizik v úvodních fázích softwarového projektu, taktéž byly popsány atributy rizik a navržen způsob jejich dokumentace. V závěrečné části zadání byl navržen a

Abstract:

Den här studien undersöker implicita (underförstådda) bilder av ledare och syftar till att, utifrån ett svenskt följarperspektiv, ta reda på vilka egenskaper som kännetecknar ”en effektiv ledare i en tänkt arbetssituation”, samt undersöka huruvida bilden av denna varierar utifrån ett antal sociala skiljelinjer. Utgångspunkten är att de egenskaper som anses vara kännetecknande för en effektiv ledare också är egenskaper som studiedeltagarna prefererar (föredrar) och därför helst ser hos en sådan ledare. Studien omfattar 198 deltagare och använder sig av ett särskilt ILT-verktyg (implicit leaders

Abstract:

L'évolution issue du C. I. M. (computer integrated manufacturing) visant à considérer l'intégration de toutes les fonctions de l'entreprise opère une mutation qui l'a fait passer du traitement des données à la gestion des informations computer information management, puis de la communication syntaxique en termes de données à une communication des connaissances et propose ainsi la signification nouvelle de corporate information management pour l'acronyme C. I. M. Par rapport, à ce constat, nous proposons, autour du concept d'ingénierie concourante, la définition d'un référentiel commun pour les

Abstract:

De nombreux domaines comme le jeu vidéo, l’architecture, l’ingénierie ou l’archéologie font désormais appel à la modélisation géométrique. Les objets à représenter sont de natures diverses, et leurs opérations de manipulation sont spécifiques. Ainsi, les modeleurs sont nombreux car tous spécialisés à leur domaine d’application. Or ils sont à la fois chers à développer, souvent peu robustes, et difficilement extensibles. Nous avons proposé dans la thèse l’approche alternative suivante :– fournir un langage dédié à la modélisation qui permet de définir les opérations quelque soit le domaine d’ap

Abstract:

La fabrication additive s’est beaucoup développée ces dernières années dans l’industrie, notamment dans le secteur spatial. Cette technologie permet de concevoir et de fabriquer des pièces de géométrie complexe souvent impossible à obtenir par les procédés conventionnels. C’est le cas en particulier des structures lattices qui restent à ce jour difficiles à dimensionner et qui sont encore délicates à maîtriser en matière de stabilité de fabrication.Cette thèse avait pour objectifs d'améliorer la compréhension et la prédiction du comportement mécanique des structures lattices, structures qui so
