We present a hybrid neural-network for human face recognition which compares favourably with other methods. The system combines local image sampling, self-organizing map (SOM) neural network, and convolutional network. SOM provides quantization of the samples into topological space where inputs that are nearby in original also output space, thereby providing dimensionality reduction invariance to minor changes sample, network partial translation, rotation, scale, deformation. extracts...

The vast improvement in information access is not the only advantage resulting from increasing percentage of hyperlinked human knowledge available on Web. Additionally, much potential exists for analyzing interests and relationships within science society. However, Web's decentralized unorganized nature hampers content analysis. Millions individuals operating independently having a variety backgrounds, knowledge, goals cultures author Despite decentralized, unorganized, heterogeneous nature,...

The revolution the Web has brought to information dissemination is not so much due availability of data-huge amounts long been available in libraries-but rather improved efficiency accessing (improved accessibility to) that information. promises make more scientific articles easily available. By making context citations and quickly browsable, autonomous citation indexing can help evaluate importance individual contributions accurately quickly. Digital libraries incorporating ACI organize...

Methods for controlling the bias/variance tradeoff typically assume that overfitting or overtraining is a global phenomenon. For multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks, parameters such as training time, network size, amount of weight decay are commonly used to control tradeoff. However, degree can vary significantly throughout input space model. We show overselection degrees freedom an MLP trained with backpropagation improve approximation in regions underfitting, while not other...

Nonparametric linkage association analyses were performed with the Analysis of Lineage Association (NOPAR) program, parametric Complex Inheritance Diathesis Severity (COMDS) program on an...

The lack of persistence Web references has called into question the increasingly common practice citing URLs in scientific papers. It is argued that although few critical resources have been lost to date, new strategies manage Internet and improved citation practices are necessary minimize future loss information.

NECI Research Institute has developed a metasearch engine that improves the efficiency of Web searches by downloading and analyzing each document then displaying results show query terms in concert. The paper discusses features engine.

Abstract Research reveals that emotional intelligence is an important factor in predicting performance teams. In this article, we initially outline a theoretical model for examining Using model, test short version (16 items) of the self-report Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile (WEIP). Evidence from three studies supports model. Two samples 620 and 217 employees support hypothesized structure WEIP-S. Four distinct constructs were derived: Awareness own emotions; Management others'...

According to balance theory (Heider, 1958), when 2 coworkers develop different levels of leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships with their supervisor, a triadic relational imbalance will arise among the 3 parties that may result in hostile sentiments and poor social interactions between them. This study examines consequences psychological processes (dis)similar LMX on interpersonal coworkers. Using data from independent studies, results relations analyses show (a) actual (dis)similarity...

Abstract Employees need to regulate their own emotions as well the of others enhance quality interactions with colleagues. How this is achieved has important outcomes for both employees and organizations in which they work. In field organizational science, however, differing approaches have emerged regarding conceptualization operationalization emotion regulation (ER) particularly terms interpersonal interactions. The present review examines contemporary theoretical perspectives ER its...

Although relational demographers have based their arguments on self-categorization theory, they paid little attention to the underlying processes associated with this theory. The authors examined whether demographic dissimilarity affects individuals' identification groups by affecting group's prototype valence and clarity individual's perceptions of self-prototypicality. data showed that proportion women non-Australians in 34 work negatively influenced valence, clarity, self-prototypicality...

Neural are trained, without division into learned vs. innate components assumed Chomsky (1956), in an attempt produce judgments native...

The World Wide Web has revolutionized the way people access information, and opened up new possibilities in areas such as digital libraries, general scientific information dissemination retrieval, education, commerce, entertainment, government health care. There are many avenues for improvement of Web; example, locating organizing information. Current techniques to both on provide much room improvement; search engines do not comprehensive indices have difficulty accurately ranking relevance...

Summary There is increasing research regarding the influence of emotions on teamwork. In this study, we use a multilevel approach to examine how team members' emotion‐related skills affects task performance and communication within team. We measured individual self‐reported emotional prior formation then collected peer‐rated independently rated eight weeks later. Although there was no at level between performance, team‐level positively predicted scores. At cross level, individual‐level...

Students generally report poor experiences of group work in university settings. This study examines whether individual student perceptions team social cohesion are determined by their level emotional intelligence (EI) and this relationship is mediated communication skills. Business students ( N = 273) completed the 16-item self-report Workplace Emotional Intelligence Profile—Short Version (WEIP-S; Jordan & Lawrence, 2009) before forming teams. worked teams for 8 weeks to complete work....

Scientific literature on the Web makes up a massive, noisy, disorganized database. Unlike large, single-source databases such as corporate customer database, database draws from many sources, each with its own organization. Also, owing to diversity, most records in this are irrelevant an individual researcher. Furthermore, is constantly growing content and changing All these characteristics make difficult domain for knowledge discovery. To quickly easily gather useful users need help of...
