This paper describes a parallel algorithm for selecting activation functionsof an articial network. For checking the eciency of this algorithm a count ofmultiplicative and additive operations is used.[...]

Expert-driven business process management is an establishedmeans for improving efficiency of organizational knowledge work.Implicit procedural knowledge in the organization is made explicit bydening processes. This approach is not applicable to individual knowledgework due to its high complexity...

We present a non-linear camera pose estimator, which is able to handle a combined input of point and line featurecorrespondences. For three or more correspondences, the estimator works on any arbitrary number and choiceof the feature type, which provides an estimation of the pose on a preferably...

Eye-trackers have been used in the past to identify visual foci inimages, nd task-related image regions, or localize aective regions inimages. However, they have not been used for identifying specic ob-jects in images. In this paper, we investigate whether it is possibleto assign image regions...

We present the user-centered, iterative design of Mobile Facets, a mo-bile application for the faceted search and exploration of a large, multi-dimensional data set of social media on a touchscreen mobile phone. Mo-bile Facets provides retrieval of resources such as places, persons,...

One of the key factors that hinders integration of distributed, heterogeneousinformation systems is the lack of a formal basis for modeling the complex, structuredknowledge that is to be exchanged. To alleviate this situation, we present anapproach based on core ontologies. Core ontologies are...

This paper describes the analysis of a neural network used to predict currencyexchange rates in comparison to technical analysis. The neural network structuresused are a multilayer perceptron and a Volterra network.[...]

This paper describes parallel algorithms for training articial neural networks.Possible levels of parallelity are presented. Experiments for checking the efficiencyof algorithms are discussed.[...]

The estimation of various social objects is necessary in different fields of social life, science,education, etc. This estimation is usually used for forecasting, for evaluating of different propertiesand for other goals in complex man-machine systems.[...]
