2003 journal article

Relaxed conditions for radial-basis function networks to be universal approximators

NEURAL NETWORKS, 16(7), 1019–1028.

By: Y. Liao n, S. Fang n & H. Nuttle n

author keywords: universal approximation; radial-basis function networks
MeSH headings : Neural Networks, Computer
TL;DR: It is shown that RBFs are not required to be integrable for the REF networks to be universal approximators, and can uniformly approximate any continuous function on a compact set provided that the radial basis activation function is continuous almost everywhere, locally essentially bounded, and not a polynomial.

Locally optimal cutting positions for 5-axis sculptured surface machining

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN, 35(1), 69–81.

By: J. Yoon*, H. Pottmann* & Y. Lee n

author keywords: local millability; dupin indicatrix; machined strip width
TL;DR: A local condition for collision-free 5-axis milling of sculptured surfaces is presented, which guarantees local gouging avoidance and based on second order approximations of the machined strip width, locally optimal cutting positions for cutting directions are presented.

Fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA): a possibility approach

Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 139(2), 379–394.

By: S. Lertworasirikul n, S. Fang n, J. Joines n & H. Nuttle n

author keywords: data envelopment analysis; fuzzy mathematical programming; possibility theory; efficiency analysis
TL;DR: The approach transforms fuzzy DEA models into possibility DEA models by using possibility measures of fuzzy events (fuzzy constraints) and it is shown that for the special case, in which fuzzy membership functions of fuzzy data are of trapezoidal types, possibility DEA model become linear programming models.

Rapid prototyping for treatment of canine limb deformities

RAPID PROTOTYPING JOURNAL, Vol. 9, pp. 37–42.

author keywords: rapid prototyping; medical; surgery
TL;DR: Traditional osteotomy planning procedures using only radiographs and 2D CT images are compared to planning with full‐scale physical biomodels, which had a clearly beneficial impact on the accuracy of surgery and positively influenced the clinical outcome. (via Semantic Scholar)

Improving query performance using materialized XML views: A learning-based approach

In Conceptual modeling for novel application domains: ER 2003 workshops ECOMO, IWCMQ, AOIS, and XSDM, Chicago, IL, USA, October 13, 2003: proceedings / Manfred Jeusfeld; Oscar Pastor (eds.). New York: Springer-Verlag, 2003. (Lecture notes in computer science ; 2814). (Vol. 2814, pp. 297–310).

By: A. Shah n & R. Chirkova n

TL;DR: This paper shows that selective materialization of data as XML views reduces query-execution costs in relatively static databases and can significantly reduce processing costs for frequent and important queries on relational databases with XML interfaces. (via Semantic Scholar)
