Text mining has become one of the trendy fields that has been incorporated in several research fields such as computational linguistics, Information Retrieval (IR) and data mining. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques were used to extract knowledge from the textual text that is written by human beings. Text mining reads an unstructured form of data…

Recently, with the rapid progress in image processing and three-dimensional (3D) technologies, stereoscopic images are available not only on television but also in theaters and gaming consoles. Asthenopia and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) are well-known phenomena experienced by users while viewing video clips, playing immersive video games, and other such activities. In previous studies,…

The implemented programs in the MapReduce processing model are focused in the analysis of large volume of data in a distributed and parallel architecture. This architecture is automatically managed by the framework, so the developer could be focused in the program functionality regardless of infrastructure failures or resource allocation. However, the infrastructure state can cause…

We present a design and fabrication of an integrated micro-fabricated dielectrophoretic (DEP) cell trap array in a microfluidic channel. The cell trap array is capable of isolating target cells in high-throughput manner and producing cell clusters of tunable cell numbers. In this work, we have used commercially available polystyrene beads to show the concept. Bead…

Sensors for collecting 3D spatial data from the real world are becoming more important. They are a prime research area topic and have applications in consumer markets, such as medical, entertainment, and robotics. However, a primary concern with collecting this data is the vast amount of information being generated, and thus, needing to be processed…

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is a high effective learning algorithm for the single hidden layer feed forward neural networks. Compared with the existing neural network learning algorithm it solves the slow training speed and over-fitting problems. It has been used in different fields and applications such as biomedical engineering, computer vision, remote sensing, chemical process…

Mobile devices are differed from desktop based systems in terms of particular execution environment, constrained resources, and high mobility requirement. To overcome these shortcomings, various agile based methodologies are developed for native mobile applications such as Mobile-D, Scrum etc. These agile techniques are based on various phases and these phases begin from exploring, initializing and…

Optical imaging systems or cameras have a convex lens with limited depth of field. So, multi-focus images are obtained when such systems are used to capture an image of a particular scene. These images are fused to get all-in-focus image. This paper proposes a new simpler method of multi-focus image fusion. Instead of decomposing input…

Precision agriculture in recent times had assumed a different dimension in order to improve on the poor standard of agriculture. Similarly, the upsurge in technological advancement, most especially in the aspect of machine learning and artificial intelligence, is a promising trend towards a positive solution to this problem. Therefore, this research work presents a decision…

This paper analyses the impact of current trend in applying machine learning in detection of vandalism, with the specific aim of analyzing the impact of the class imbalance in Wikipedia articles. The class imbalance problem has the effect that almost all the examples are labelled as one class (legitimate editing); while far fewer examples are…

Fair allocation of risks in conditions of contract is pivotal for coordination, unhindered execution, dispute resolution and maintenance of positive relationship among the parties executing the contract.
