Abstract: The problem of a semantic gap between multimedia content and its textual annotation defined by user is urgent. This paper presents the combined approach to presentation of multimedia semantics which is based on aggregation of several multimedia that are similar by content and textual annotations into the classes. Such classes will contain generalized descriptions of objects and links reflected in the multimedia, and keywords from some thesaurus. To create and update these classes we also describe the hierarchical clustering and machine learning operations. This approach should expand the multimedia search and navigating area due to including the media documents with similar content and text descriptions.

Keywords: multimedia data mining, content based multimedia retrieval, text based multimedia retrieval.

Abstract: Methods of creation and development of distributed information systems dynamically adapted to varying requirements of users and service conditions are considered. Described means are based on use of multilevel models. These models represent various parties of system functioning and system domain with various levels of abstraction and from different points of view. System functioning is based on the models interpretation. This approach is realized in the CASE-technology METAS intended for maintenance of all life cycle of dynamically adaptable systems. The basic levels of the system description are the logical level (the system objects description with data domain terms), the physical level (the description of data presentation in a database) and the presentation level (the description of user interface). All models can be changed during system functioning. New models can be developed on the basis of these models. Now the model of reporting, the Web-model and the business-processes model are created. Adaptation possibilities are based on various means of model development such as language toolkit, tools of data re-structuring, means of generation and adjustment of user interface and so on. Software tools of external data import, means of replication of data and models, tools of program components integration and document management subsystem are included in CASE-system too. This technology is based on DSM and DSL: domain specific languages are used as tools for development of domain models. Objects attributes, operations and business rules are described via DSL. The language toolkit is used for DSL creation. It is the base for the multilevel metamodelling. In such a way development of DSL for the specific domain is the first step of information system creation.

Abstract: The paper develops and illustrates an approach to transformation of information represented as graph structures. It also provides the conceptual information transformation system based on mapping of graph structures. The system comprises three levels which makes it possible to adapt the transformer to information of different domains. Each level has its own models for describing information and specifying ways of its transformation. The transformer can operate with both structural and textual representations of information. The paper describes the general architecture of the transformer and its components. It offers models describing graph structures and mappings which are specifications for graph transformation. It also exemplifies descriptions of graph structures and syntax restrictions which are imposed on the former. The paper provides a fragment of description of one mapping of graph structure on the other. This approach is implemented in the prototype that ensures program translation from one procedural programming language into another. The prototype supports such languages as Pascal, C, languages of structure program models and is developed within the framework of the program transformation system. The prototype is implemented in the Java programming environment.

Abstract: Linguistic theory, cognitive, information, and mathematical modeling are all useful while we attempt to achieve a better understanding of the Language Faculty (LF). This cross-disciplinary approach will eventually lead to the identification of the key principles applicable in the systems of Natural Language Processing. The present work concentrates on the syntax-semantics interface. We start from recursive definitions and application of optimization principles, and gradually develop a formal model of syntactic operations. The result – a Fibonacci-like syntactic tree – is in fact an argument-based variant of the natural language syntax. This representation (argument-centered model, ACM) is derived by a recursive calculus that generates a mode which connects arguments and expresses relations between them. The reiterative operation assigns primary role to entities as the key components of syntactic structure. We provide experimental evidence in support of the argument-based model. We also show that mental computation of syntax is influenced by the inter-conceptual relations between the images of entities in a semantic space. This work represents a further step in the formal description of the observed syntax-semantics dependencies. The assumption is made that the syntax-semantic interface is best explained as a particular operation, Merge that applies at both semantic and syntactic levels. The resulting formal description of the stages of syntactic treatment complies with the results of the experiment. A formal model of syntactic operations is developed starting from recursive definitions and application of optimization principles. The result – a Fibonacci-like syntactic tree – is in fact an argument-based variant of the natural language syntax.

Abstract: Many organic compounds cause an irreversible damage to human health and the ecosystem and are present in water resources. Among these hazard substances, phenolic compounds play an important role on the actual contamination. Utilization of membrane technology is increasing exponentially in drinking water production and waste water treatment. The removal of organic compounds by nanofiltration membranes is characterized not only by molecular sieving effects but also by membrane-solute interactions. Influence of the sieving parameters (molecular weight and molecular diameter) and the physicochemical interactions (dissociation constant and molecular hydrophobicity) on the membrane rejection of the organic solutes were studied. The molecular hydrophobicity is expressed as logarithm of octanol-water partition coefficient. This paper proposes a method used that can be used for symbolic knowledge extraction from a trained neural network, once they have been trained with the desired performance and is based on detect the more important variables in problems where exist multicolineality among the input variables.

Abstract: Organizations are seeking new, integrated systems that enable rapid changes through early identification of opportunities and problems, tracking of progress against plans, flexible allocation of resources to achieve goals, and consistent operations. Total Quality Management (TQM) is an overall business strategy. It means that all activities of the company will be focused on satisfying all stakeholders of the company. TQM can be realised by using the EFQM model. The EFQM model is a tool that organizations may use as a framework for self-evaluation that enables an organization to identify its strengths and areas for improvement and the extent to which its operations and results are in line with the characteristics of an excellent organization. We focus on a training organisation or to the learning department of an organization. So we are limiting the EFQM model to the training /learning activities. We can apply EFQM perfect on the level of an activity (business line) of a company. We selected the main criteria for which the learner can play the role of assessor. So only three main criteria left: the enabling resources, the enabling processes and the (learning) results for the learner. We limited the last one to “learning results” based on the Kirkpatrick model.
