Free Download Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Management: Volume 4 By François Queyroi (auth.), Fabrice Guillet, Bruno Pinaud, Gilles Venturini, Djamel Abdelkader Zighed (eds.)
2014 | 175 Pages | ISBN: 3319029983 | PDF | 5 MB
This book is a collection of representative and novel works done in Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Clustering and Classification that were originally presented in French at the EGC'2012 Conference held in Bordeaux, France, on January 2012. This conference was the 12th edition of this event, which takes place each year and which is now successful and well-known in the French-speaking community. This community was structured in 2003 by the foundation of the French-speaking EGC society (EGC in French stands for ``Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances'' and means ``Knowledge Discovery and Management'', or KDM).This book is intended to be read by all researchers interested in these fields, including PhD or MSc students, and researchers from public or private laboratories. It concerns both theoretical and practical aspects of KDM. The book is structured in two parts called ``Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining'' and ``Classification and Feature Extraction or Selection''. The first part (6 chapters) deals with data clustering and data mining. The three remaining chapters of the second part are related to classification and feature extraction or feature selection.

Free Download Simin Karimi, Narges Nematollahi, "Advances in Iranian Linguistics II"
English | ISBN: 902721347X | 2023 | 315 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This volume offers insight into different aspects of an interesting but fairly understudied language family, opens a path to new inquiries, and provides valuable contribution to linguistics, in general, and to Iranian linguistics, in particular. The articles in this volume offer novel analyses of significant properties of some of the Iranian languages, and contribute to various linguistic subareas such as experimental and historical linguistics as well as the morphology, syntax and semantics of several members of this language family. Specifically, this volume features a few articles on the Ezafe construction which shed new light on this interesting phenomenon of Western Iranian languages from historical, comparative and syntactic points of view. Moreover, a few articles address the syntax and formal semantics of properties of Persian, offering new insight into particular constructions in this language which are also fruitful for the general theory of linguistics. Crucially, all authors raise important questions, opening up the path for further investigations.

These proceedings contain the papers presented at ECIR 2010, the 32nd Eu- pean Conference on Information Retrieval. The conference was organizedby the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi), the Open University, in co-operation with Dublin City University and the University of Essex, and was supported by the Information Retrieval Specialist Group of the British Computer Society (BCS- IRSG) and the Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval (ACM SIGIR). It was held during March 28-31, 2010 in Milton Keynes, UK. ECIR 2010 received a total of 202 full-paper submissions from Continental Europe (40%), UK (14%), North and South America (15%), Asia and Australia (28%), Middle East and Africa (3%). All submitted papers were reviewed by at leastthreemembersoftheinternationalProgramCommittee.Outofthe202- pers 44 were selected asfull researchpapers. ECIR has alwaysbeen a conference with a strong student focus. To allow as much interaction between delegates as possible and to keep in the spirit of the conference we decided to run ECIR 2010 as a single-track event. As a result we decided to have two presentation formats for full papers. Some of them were presented orally, the others in poster format. The presentation format does not represent any di?erence in quality. Instead, the presentation format was decided after the full papers had been accepted at the Program Committee meeting held at the University of Essex. The views of the reviewers were then taken into consideration to select the most appropriate presentation format for each paper.

Free Download Advances in Image Processing and Understanding: A Festschrift for Thomas S. Huang By Alan C. Bovik, Chang Wen Chen, Dmitry B. Goldgof, Thomas S. Huang
2003 | 396 Pages | ISBN: 9812380914 | DJVU | 8 MB
This volume of original papers has been assembled to honour the achievements of Professor Thomas S. Huang in the area of image processing and image analysis. Professor Huang's life of inquiry has spanned a number of decades, as his work on imaging problems began in 1960's. Over the years, he has made many fundamental and pioneering contributions to nearly every area of this field. Professor Huang has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Jack Kilby Signal Processing Medal from IEEE. He has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and named Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of OSA, Fellow of IAPR and Fellow of SPIE. Professor Huang has made fundamental contributions to image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision, including: design and stability test of multidimensional digital filters, digital holography; compression techniques for documents and images; 3D motion and modelling, analysis and visualization of the human face, hand and body, multi-modal human-computer interfaces; and multimedia databases. This volume is intended to highlight his contributions by showing the breadth of areas in which his students are working. As such, contributed chapters were written by some of his many former graduate students (some with Professor Huang as a co-author) and illustrate not only his contributions to imaging science but also his commitment to educational endeavour. The breadth of contributions is an indication of influence of Professor Huang to the field of signal processing, image processing, computer vision and applications; there are chapters on learning in image retrieval, facial motion analysis, cloud motion tracking, wavelet coding, robust video transmission, and many other topics. The appendix contains several reprints of Professor Huang's most influential papers from the 1970's to 1990's. This text is designed for image processing researchers, including academic faculty, graduate students and industry researchers, as well as professionals working in application areas.

Free Download Advances In International Investments: Traditional and Alternative Approaches By Hung-Gay Fung, Hung-Gay Fung, Xiaoqing Eleanor Xu, Jot Yau
2008 | 308 Pages | ISBN: 9812708626 | PDF | 4 MB
The globalization of financial markets has led to an integrated world market. Emerging economies such as China and India have opened up their markets to foreign investors. New instruments such as exchange-traded funds are being created, and current instruments are being expanded to include real asset investments such as natural resources and real estate investments. To better understand the full range of investments available, this book identifies different asset classes and current hot topics such as new financial instruments, innovations, and strategies in a changing global environment. Asset class, which can be labeled as either traditional or alternative investments, is examined in three areas: (1) trends -- description of the current topic/instrument/strategy in the chosen asset class; (2) opportunities -- identification of what is new and/or where to invest or arbitrage, i.e., location; and (3) risks -- determination of the risks (peculiar to the location) and how international investors can manage/reduce/eliminate them. Contents: General Issues of International Investments: International Investment: Current State and Challenges from the US Perspective (H-G Fung et al.); Socially Responsible Investing: Growth and Development in International Financial Markets (S A Law & J Yau); Traditional Investments: Global Equity Investments and Analysis (L T W Cheng); Exchange-Traded Funds (Y-M Tse); Global Fixed Income Markets and Portfolio Management (X-Q E Xu); Alternative Investments: Hedge Funds (J Yau & G K Yeung); International Real Estate (G A Patterson); Global Perspectives on Venture Capital and Private Equity (X-Q E Xu); Managed Futures (A Ates & G H K Wang); Derivatives: Credit Derivatives: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities (G-Y Zhang); Currency Derivatives and Emerging Market Currencies: Strategies, Perspectives, and Trends (A L Loviscek).
