A Maximum Entropy approach to Natural Language Processing

by Adam L. Berger, Stephen A. Della Pietra , Vincent J. Della Pietra - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1996
"... The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper we des ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

with before the theory can be fully applied to real-world job design problems. First, means must be developed for measuring current levels of activation of individuals in actual work settings (cf. Thayer, 1967), and for assessing the "optimal level" of activation for different individuals. Until

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

, enduring, and systematic. Illusion is denned as a perception that represents what is perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality. An illusion is a false mental image or conception which may be a misinterpretation of a real appearance or may be something imagined. It may be pleasing, harmless

Evolutionary Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization

by Eckart Zitzler , 2002
"... Multiple, often conflicting objectives arise naturally in most real-world optimization scenarios. As evolutionary algorithms possess several characteristics due to which they are well suited to this type of problem, evolution-based methods have been used for multiobjective optimization for more than ..."

Complex networks: Structure and dynamics

by S. Boccaletti , V. Latora , Y. Moreno , M. Chavez , D.-U. Hwang , 2006
"... Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large number of highly interconnected dynamical units. The first approach to capture the global properties of such systems is t ..."

Real-world Trust Policies

by Vinicius Da S. Almendra, Daniel Schwabe - In Proceedings of Proceedings of the Semantic Web and Policy Workshop, 4th International Semantic Web Conference , 2005
"... Abstract. One of the most important problems on the semantic web area is the one of trust. The growing exchange of semantic web data raises the need of policies that allow filtering out untrustworthy information. It is necessary, however, to model adequately the concept of trustworthiness, otherwise ..."

The Problem of Concept Drift: Definitions and Related Work

by Alexey Tsymbal , 2004
"... In the real world concepts are often not stable but change with time. Typical examples of this are weather prediction rules and customers' preferences. The underlying data distribution may change as well. Often these changes make the model built on old data inconsistent with the new data, and r ..."

Automatic Concept Acquisition from Real-World Texts

by Udo Hahn, Manfred Klenner, Klemens Schnattinger , 1996
"... We introduce a concept learning methodology for text understanding systems that is based on terminological knowledge representation and reasoning. Qualitybased metareasoning techniques allow for an incremental evaluation and selection of concept hypotheses. This methodology is particularly aimed at ..."
