A Head-Weighted Gap-Sensitive Correlation Coefficient [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 38th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, 2015
Information retrieval systems rank documents, and shared-task evaluations yield results that can be used to rank information retrieval systems. Comparing rankings in ways that can yield useful insights is thus an important capability. When making such comparisons, it is often useful to give greater weight to comparisons near the head of a ranked list ...

Non-stationary Parallel Multisplitting Two-Stage Iterative Methods with Self-AdaptiveWeighting Schemes

open access: yesEAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems, 2014
In this paper, we study the non-stationary parallel multisplitting two-stage iterative methods with selfadaptive weighting matrices for solving a linear system whose coefficient matrix is symmetric positive definite.

Bounds on the Fourier coefficients of the weighted sum function [PDF]

open access: yesInformation Processing Letters, 2007
We estimate Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function which has recently been introduced in the study of read-once branching programs. Our bound implies that this function has an asymptotically ``flat'' Fourier spectrum and thus implies several lower bounds of its various complexity measures.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

On the Diversity-Based Weighting Method for Risk Assessment and Decision-Making about Natural Hazards

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The entropy-weighting method (EWM) and variation coefficient method (VCM) are two typical diversity-based weighting methods, which are widely used in risk assessment and decision-making for natural hazards.

Optimal thermochemical material selection for a hybrid thermal energy storage system for low temperature applications using multi criteria optimization technique

open access: yesMaterials Science for Energy Technologies, 2022
Thermochemical energy storage is one of the viable solutions for the increasing energy demand because of its high energy density and less heat loss during the storage phase comparing to the other methods.

Local feature weighting in nearest prototype classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The distance metric is the corner stone of nearest neighbor (NN)-based methods, and therefore, of nearest prototype (NP) algorithms. That is because they classify depending on the similarity of the data.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Feature weighting techniques for CBR in software effort estimation studies: A review and empirical evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Context : Software effort estimation is one of the most important activities in the software development process. Unfortunately, estimates are often substantially wrong. Numerous estimation methods have been proposed including Case-based Reasoning (CBR).
