In this paper we study the issue of progress for distributed timed systems modeled as the parallel composition of timed automata. We clarify the requirements of discrete progress (...
We use information entropy measure to extend the rough set based notion of a reduct. We introduce the Approximate Entropy Reduction Principle (AERP). It states that any simplificat...
We define a class of graphs that summarize in a compact visual way the interaction structure between binary multivariate characteristics. This allows studying the conditional depe...
The scores returned by support vector machines are often used as a confidence measures in the classification of new examples. However, there is no theoretical argument sustaining ...
Abstract. Several schemes have been proposed for compactly representing multiattribute utility functions, yet none seems to achieve the level of success achieved by Bayesian and Ma...
