A new reading of Bronze Age funerary structures in Mongolia through the analysis of their architectural elements, arrangement and form
2022
The archaeological landscape of Mongolia is marked by the presence of numerous funerary monuments (khirigsuurs) and engraved stelae (deer stones), erected by nomadic populations at the end of the Bronze Age. The first observations indicate great regularity in the choice and arrangement of the architectural and iconographic elements at the time when these structures were built. This regularity suggests the existence of shared traditions and social coherence between nomadic communities in a territory covering almost twice that of France. The data available today do not provide sufficient perspective to establish social models at the level of a province, and even less so at the scale of the co…
A measure of concurrent neural firing activity based on mutual information
2020
AbstractMultiple methods have been developed in an attempt to quantify stimulus-induced neural coordination and to understand internal coordination of neuronal responses by examining the synchronization phenomena in neural discharge patterns. In this work we propose a novel approach to estimate the degree of concomitant firing between two neural units, based on a modified form of mutual information (MI) applied to a two-state representation of the firing activity. The binary profile of each single unit unfolds its discharge activity in time by decomposition into the state of neural quiescence/low activity and state of moderate firing/bursting. Then, the MI computed between the two binary st…
Critical success factors for business intelligence system implementation
2017
Business intelligence (BI) eli liiketoimintatiedon hallinta auttaa organisaatioita tekemään parempia päätöksiä nopeammin. BI-järjestelmä voidaan nähdä sarjana työkaluja, teknologioita ja ohjelmistoja, jotka tukevat päätöksentekoa. Nämä järjestelmät ovat monimutkaisia ja niiden käyttöönotto sisältää suuria riskejä sekä vaatii paljon aikaa, rahaa ja vaivaa. Tämän vuoksi on tärkeää tunnistaa tekijät, jotka ovat tärkeitä käyttöönoton onnistumisen takaamiseksi. Tämä tutkielma keskittyi tunnistamaan BI-järjestelmän käyttöönoton kriittiset menestystekijät ja ymmärtämään miksi juuri nämä tekijät ovat tärkeitä. Menestystekijät löydettiin ja niitä analysoitiin hyödyntämällä olemassaolevaa kirjallisuu…
Business intelligence : muutoksen paradigma johdon laskentataoimessa
2012
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää sitä, millainen osa Business Intelligencellä (BI) nykypäivän muuttuvassa laskentatoimessa ja nimenomaan johdon laskentatoimessa. Tutkimuksessa haetaan vastausta siihen, miten BI:n voidaan olettaa muuttavan johdon laskentatoimen tehtäviä sekä johdon laskentatoimen ammattialaisen työtä. Tutkimuskysymykseen haetaan vastausta analysoimalla viiden BI–alan suurimman palveluntarjoajan markkinointiaineistoa. Hankittua markkinointimateriaalia tutkittiin sisällönanalyysin avulla. Aineiston jäsentelyä varten muodostettiin kaksi matriisia joiden avulla jäsenneltiin myös tutkimuksen tulokset. Toinen matriisi käsitteli johdon laskentatoimen tehtäviä ja BI:n ma…
The state of Business Intelligence : in Finnish enterprises
2015
Business Intelligence (BI) has recently been of interest both in information technology and accounting fields of research. This owes at least partly to how organisations today have increasing amounts of data and information at their disposal and they are attempting to reap benefits and competitive advantage from them. This study focuses on large Finnish enterprises and examines how they are applying business intelligence today. Especially the process nature of transforming data in to knowledge is under scrutiny and how BI is utilized in decision making. The results indicate that organisations are perceiving benefits from utilising their BI processes and while the technological factors are o…
Traditional Enterprise Business Intelligence Software Compared to Software as a Service Business Intelligence
2016
IntroductionBusiness Intelligence is a broad field of study. The major thrust of business intelligence theory analyzes certain factors to make highquality decisions. These factors include customers, competitors, business partners, economic environment and internal operations. Business Intelligence has the power to change the way people work, so that enterprises can compete more effectively and efficiently.A successful business intelligence solutions and successful implementation holds the key to the technological innovations together with the people, processes and culture of an organization to achieve a competitive and profitable BI strategy.Business Intelligence (BI) is the process of acqu…
Human-in-the-Loop Conversation Agent for Customer Service
2020
This paper describes a prototype system for partial automation of customer service operations of a mobile telecommunications operator with a human-in-the loop conversational agent. The agent consists of an intent detection system for identifying the types of customer requests that it can handle appropriately, a slot filling information extraction system that integrates with the customer service database for a rule-based treatment of the common scenarios, and a template-based language generation system that builds response candidates that can be approved or amended by customer service operators. The main focus of this paper is on the system architecture and machine learning system structure …
A Fuzzy Logic C-Means Clustering Algorithm to Enhance Microcalcifications Clusters in Digital Mammograms
2011
The detection of microcalcifications is a hard task, since they are quite small and often poorly contrasted against the background of images. The Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems could be very useful for breast cancer control. In this paper, we report a method to enhance microcalcifications cluster in digital mammograms. A Fuzzy Logic clustering algorithm with a set of features is used for clustering microcalcifications. The method described was tested on simulated clusters of microcalcifications, so that the location of the cluster within the breast and the exact number of microcalcifications is known.

Explaining Individual and Collective Programming Students’ Behavior by Interpreting a Black-Box Predictive Model
2021
Predicting student performance as early as possible and analysing to which extent initial student behaviour could lead to failure or success is critical in introductory programming (CS1) courses, for allowing prompt intervention in a move towards alleviating their high failure rate. However, in CS1 performance prediction, there is a serious lack of studies that interpret the predictive model’s decisions. In this sense, we designed a long-term study using very fine-grained log-data of 2056 students, collected from the first two weeks of CS1 courses. We extract features that measure how students deal with deadlines, how they fix errors, how much time they spend programming, and so forth. Subs…
