Download or read book Nonsequential Processes written by Eike Best and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of Petri nets is a part of computer science whose importance is increasingly acknowledged. Many papers and anthologies, whose subject matter is net theory and its applications, have appeared to date. There exist at least seven introductory textbooks on the theory. The present monograph augments this literature by offering a mathematical treatment of one of the central aspects of net theory: the modelling of concur rency by partially ordered sets. Occurrence nets - which are special nets as well as special partial orders - are proposed by net theory for this purpose. We study both the general properties of occurrence nets and their use in describing the concurrent behaviour of systems. Occurrence nets may be contrasted with a more language-oriented approach to the modelling of concurrency known as arbitrary interleaving. We will dis cuss some connections between these' two approaches. Other approaches based on partially ordered sets - such as the theory of traces, the theory of event structures and the theory of semi words - are not considered in this book, in spite of the strong links between them and net theory.
Download or read book Statistics and Control of Random Processes written by A. A. Novikov and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains papers by participants in two seminars, one on martingales and statistics of stochastic processes, and one on sequential analysis, both of which were held at the Steklov Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The papers develop the concepts of martingales and seminmartingales and stochastic calculus for them, as well as their applications in statistics and control of stochastic processes. The class of semimartingales - that is, the class of all processes which can be represented as a sum of a martingale and a process with bounded variation - is rather large. It contains such important processes as Brownian motion, Poisson processes, solutions of stochastic differential equations, and others. The papers treat theoretical aspects of statistics of stochastic processes as well as specific models of stochastic processes from the standpoint of their statistics and control. The collection is intended for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Download or read book Rough Set Methods and Applications written by Lech Polkowski and published by Physica. This book was released on 2012-10-07 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rough set approach to reasoning under uncertainty is based on inducing knowledge representation from data under constraints expressed by discernibility or, more generally, similarity of objects. Knowledge derived by this approach consists of reducts, decision or association rules, dependencies, templates, or classifiers. This monograph presents the state of the art of this area. The reader will find here a deep theoretical discussion of relevant notions and ideas as well as rich inventory of algorithmic and heuristic tools for knowledge discovery by rough set methods. An extensive bibliography will help the reader to get an acquaintance with this rapidly growing area of research.

Download or read book Explicit and Implicit Prosody in Sentence Processing written by Lyn Frazier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top researchers in prosody and psycholinguistics present their research and their views on the role of prosody in processing speech and also its role in reading. The volume characterizes the state of the art in an important area of psycholinguistics. How are general constraints on prosody (‘timing’) and intonation (‘melody’) used to constrain the parsing and interpretation of spoken language? How are they used to assign a default prosody/intonation in silent reading, and more generally what is the role of phonology in reading? Prosody and intonation interact with phonology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics and thus are at the very core of language processes.

In this way the book can be read as a first introduction to nets, but it also covers the theoretical, physical and philosophical foundations behind nets, thus facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the wider range of Petri's works. The book is intended for readers with a previous knowledge in computer science, as well as for “interested non-professionals”, who want to get to know a remarkable personality of contemporary science.
Download or read book Practical Applications of Sparse Modeling written by Irina Rish and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key approaches in the rapidly developing area of sparse modeling, focusing on its application in fields including neuroscience, computational biology, and computer vision. Sparse modeling is a rapidly developing area at the intersection of statistical learning and signal processing, motivated by the age-old statistical problem of selecting a small number of predictive variables in high-dimensional datasets. This collection describes key approaches in sparse modeling, focusing on its applications in fields including neuroscience, computational biology, and computer vision. Sparse modeling methods can improve the interpretability of predictive models and aid efficient recovery of high-dimensional unobserved signals from a limited number of measurements. Yet despite significant advances in the field, a number of open issues remain when sparse modeling meets real-life applications. The book discusses a range of practical applications and state-of-the-art approaches for tackling the challenges presented by these applications. Topics considered include the choice of method in genomics applications; analysis of protein mass-spectrometry data; the stability of sparse models in brain imaging applications; sequential testing approaches; algorithmic aspects of sparse recovery; and learning sparse latent models.
