Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
Generalized model of biological neural networks: Progressive operational perceptrons
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) were designed to simulate biological neural networks
Time-frequency approach to radar detection, imaging, and classification
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2010 , Article)
One of the central problems in exploiting the radar data is the analysis of atime series. The problem at hand is how to extract the information present in the data and use it to its full potential. Traditionally, radar ...
Nano-scale moisture damage evaluation of carbon nanotube-modified asphalt
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd In addition to polymer modification, the use of nanomaterials to improve different asphalt properties has recently been found to be beneficial. However, the potential of nanomaterials in pavement ...
Critical factors determining bid/no bid decisions of contractors in Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
To bid or not to bid for construction projects is a crucial strategic decision for contractors' sustainability in the industry. The high complexity and uncertainty associated with such a decision-making process, which ...
Reliability-aware service provisioning in NFV-enabled enterprise datacenter networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Network Function Visualization (NFV) enables the complete decoupling of Network Functions (NFs) (e.g., firewall, intrusion detection, routing, etc.) from physical middleboxes used to implement service-specific and strictly ...
Handcrafted features with convolutional neural networks for detection of tumor cells in histology images
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Detection of tumor nuclei in cancer histology images requires sophisticated techniques due to the irregular shape, size and chromatin texture of the tumor nuclei. Some very recently proposed methods employ deep convolutional ...
Performance of non-coherent decode-and-forward relaying over time-varying fading channels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Performance analysis of selection combining (SC) for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying in case of general time-varying Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. While auto-regressive (AR) time series model is applied in ...
Your Behavior Signals Your Reliability: Modeling Crowd Behavioral Traces to Ensure Quality Relevance Annotations
(
AAAI Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
While peer-agreement and gold checks are well-established methods for ensuring quality in crowdsourced data collection, we explore a relatively new direction for quality control: estimating work quality directly from ...
A self-selective correlation ship tracking method for smart ocean systems
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
In recent years, with the development of the marine industry, the ship navigation environment has become more complicated. Some artificial intelligence technologies, such as computer vision, can recognize, track and count ...
