Spatial Rules through Spatial Rule built-ins in SWRL
2010
International audience; The paper presents a method to include spatial rule within rule languages like SWRL to infer spatial rules within semantic web framework. The concept presented here could benefit both geospatial community as they benefit using the adjusted knowledge base to infer spatial rule and semantic web community as the inclusion of spatial data in its framework
Discovering human mobility from mobile data : probabilistic models and learning algorithms
2020
Smartphone usage data can be used to study human indoor and outdoor mobility. In our work, we investigate both aspects in proposing machine learning-based algorithms adapted to the different information sources that can be collected.In terms of outdoor mobility, we use the collected GPS coordinate data to discover the daily mobility patterns of the users. To this end, we propose an automatic clustering algorithm using the Dirichlet process Gaussian mixture model (DPGMM) so as to cluster the daily GPS trajectories. This clustering method is based on estimating probability densities of the trajectories, which alleviate the problems caused by the data noise.By contrast, we utilize the collecte…
Performance optimisation of dual-pump NALM fibre laser using machine learning inference
2018
We apply predictive regression to find optimum operating regimes in a recently proposed layout of a flexible Figure-8 laser having two independently pumped segments of active fibre in its bidirectional ring.
Prédire le passé et le futur : rôle des représentations motrices dans l'inférence du mouvement
2012
The effectiveness of the visual system is permitted by a complex processing network, which relies on cortical, sub-cortical and peripheral structures. The purpose of this research is to improve the knowledge of the process sustaining the visual perception of motion, and to produce a computational model able to reproduce the features of human visual tracking of a moving object.This work includes an extensive bibliographic research, and a series of experiments. The thesis consists of two parts:The first part pertains to the determination of performance in the "backward" inference of a partially visible movement. It consist of defining the involvement of exogenous information (retinal signals)…
Statistical methods for adaptive river basin management and monitoring
2018
Decision-making at different phases of adaptive river basin management planning rely largely on the information that is gained through environmental monitoring. The aim of this thesis was to develop and test statistical assessment tools presumed to be particularly useful for evaluating existing monitoring designs, converting monitoring data into management information and quantifying uncertainties. River basin scale monitoring was performed using a wireless sensor network and a data quality control system and maintenance effort was assessed. National-scale, traditional monitoring data and linear mixed effect modelling were used to estimate the uncertainty in two status class metrics (total …
Jūtu, tātad daru? Uzmanības saistība ar kustību sagatavošanas laiku aktīvās inferences perspektīvā
2021
Pētījuma mērķis ir labāk izprast psiholoģisko procesu pamatprincipus, par teorētisko bāzi izmantojot aktīvo inferenci. Aktīvā inference postulē, ka cilvēka psihe ir saprotama kā hierarhisks maņu prognožu cikls – nevis kā maņu signālu saņēmēja un apstrādātāja, bet kā to aktīva radītāja, kurā uztvere un darbības ir analoģiski, uz maņu prognozēm balstīti procesi, un kustību veikšanu var saprast kā maņu prognožu piepildīšanu. Izmantojot uztveres analoģiju, pētījumā tiek eksperimentāli pārbaudīts, vai kustību sagatavošanu var saprast kā uzmanību, kas veltīta ķermeņa iekšējo maņu prognozēm.
Causal Models for Monitoring University Ordinary Financing Fund
2012
Recently iterated decreasing government transfers and an increasing proportion of budget allotted basing on competitive performances, took Italian Universities started struggling with competition for funds, in particular for the University Ordinary Financing Fund (FFO). Aim of this paper is monitoring variables responsible for FFO indicators, where monitoring means: describing, analysing retrospectively, predicting and intervening on variables responsible for indicators. All this aims can be achieved by statistical techniques that should be theoretically equipped with the distinction between predicting under observation and predicting under intervention, in order to provide correct answers …
贝叶斯因子及其在JASP中的实现
2018
Statistical inference plays a critical role in modern scientific research, however, the dominant method for statistical inference in science, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), is often misunderstood and misused, which leads to unreproducible findings. To address this issue, researchers propose to adopt the Bayes factor as an alternative to NHST. The Bayes factor is a principled Bayesian tool for model selection and hypothesis testing, and can be interpreted as the strength for both the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 based on the current data. Compared to NHST, the Bayes factor has the following advantages: it quantifies the evidence that the data provide for…
Pattern languages with and without erasing
1994
The paper deals with the problems related to finding a pattern common to all words in a given set. We restrict our attention to patterns expressible by the use of variables ranging over words. Two essentially different cases result, depending on whether or not the empty word belongs to the range. We investigate equivalence and inclusion problems, patterns descriptive for a set, as well as some complexity issues. The inclusion problem between two pattern languages turns out to be of fundamental theoretical importance because many problems in the classical combinatorics of words can be reduced to it.
