A Computational Intelligence Based Online Data Imputation Method: An Application For Banking

( Kancherla Jonah Nishanth ),( Vadlamani Ravi ) 한국정보처리학회 2013 Journal of information processing systems Vol.9 No.4

All the imputation techniques proposed so far in literature for data imputation are offline techniques as they require a number of iterations to learn the characteristics of data during training and they also consume a lot of computational time. Hence, these techniques are not suitable for applications that require the imputation to be performed on demand and near real-time. The paper proposes a computational intelligence based architecture for online data imputation and extended versions of an existing offline data imputation method as well. The proposed online imputation technique has 2 stages. In stage 1, Evolving Clustering Method (ECM) is used to replace the missing values with cluster centers, as part of the local learning strategy. Stage 2 refines the resultant approximate values using a General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) as part of the global approximation strategy. We also propose extended versions of an existing offline imputation technique. The offline imputation techniques employ K-Means or K-Medoids and Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) or GRNN in Stage-1 and Stage-2 respectively. Several experiments were conducted on 8 benchmark datasets and 4 bank related datasets to assess the effectiveness of the proposed online and offline imputation techniques. In terms of Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), the results indicate that the difference between the proposed best offline imputation method viz., KMedoids+ GRNN and the proposed online imputation method viz., ECM+GRNN is statistically insignificant at a 1% level of significance. Consequently, the proposed online technique, being less expensive and faster, can be employed for imputation instead of the existing and proposed offline imputation techniques. This is the significant outcome of the study. Furthermore, GRNN in stage-2 uniformly reduced MAPE values in both offline and online imputation methods on all datasets

Structures and Meanings of Mandarin Conditionals

Tzong-Hong Jonah Lin 한국중어중문학회 2012 中語中文學 Vol.52 No.-

This paper investigates the conditional constructions in Mandarin Chinese. First we introduce the English conditionals, and take them as a point of reterence for the study of the Mandarin conditionals. In particular, we divide the Mandarin conditionals into three types: the event-conditional, the premise-conditional, and the conjunctive conditional. We show the following: (ⅰ) Syntactically, the Mandarin event-conditional and premise-conditional have structures very similar to their English correspondents, the former involving TP adjunction and the latter CP adjunction. The conjunctive conditional has a coordinate structure. (ⅱ) However, the Mandarin conditionals differ from their English correspondents in that different types of conditionals require different licensing conditions. Specifically, the event-conditional in Mandarin requires a relational element for licensing, whereas the premise-conditional in Mandarin may additionally be licensed by a non-indicative mood. The conjunctive conditional in Mandarin patterns more with the event-conditional than with the premise-conditional, though there are still differences. It is argued that all these can be traced to the structural properties of the conditionals and the syntax-semantics interaction involved.

본고는 Lin(2014)의 후반부를 번역한 것이다. 그는 Chomsky(1995)와 그 후속 저작에서 말하는 경동사의 개념을 채택하는 대신, 표준중국어에서의 경동사는 통사부(syntax)에서 사건구조를 구성하는 데 있어 의미적 효과와 역할이 매우 중요하다고 강조한다. 이 관점에서 볼 때, 경동사는 사건 정보를 전달하고 논항을 문장에 도입한다. 이어서 그는 그의 노선을 따르는 2가지 제안(피영향성 구문과 장소 주어에 대한 분석)을 살펴보고, 아울러 중국어 경동사에 대한 또 다른 이론 3가지(상적 일치, 무경동사, 배분형태론)를 소개하고 검토한다. The paper is a translation of the latter half part of Lin (2014). Instead of adopting the notion of light verbs as described in Chomsky (1995) and its subsequent works, he stresses that light verbs in Mandarin Chinese are of great importance to the semantic effects and role in the composition of event structure in syntax. From this point of view, light verbs both carry event information and introduce an argument into the sentence. He then considers two suggestions(an analysis on affected constructions and locative subjects) that follow his line, and also introduces and reviews three alternative theories(aspectual agreement, no light verb, distributed morphology) of light verbs in Chinese.

Vascularisation of Urethral Repairs with the Gracilis Muscle Flap

Ee Hsiang Jonah Kua,Kah Woon Leo,Yee-Siang Ong,Christopher Cheng,Bien-Keem Tan 대한성형외과학회 2013 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.40 No.5

Background The ability to achieve a long-term, stricture-free urethral repair is one of the ongoing challenges of reconstructive urologic surgery. A successful initial repair is critical, as repeat procedures are difficult, owing to distortion, scarring, and short urethral stumps. Methods We describe a technique in which the gracilis muscle flap is laid on or wrapped around the urethral repair site to provide a well-vascularised soft tissue reinforcement for urethral repair. This technique promotes vascular induction, whereby a new blood supply is introduced to the repair site to improve the outcome of urethral repair or anastomotic urethroplasty. The surface contact between the muscle flap and the repair site is enhanced by the use of fibrin glue to improve adherence and promote inosculation and healing. We employed this technique in 4 patients with different urethral defects. Results After a follow-up period of 32 to 108 months, all of the urethral repairs were successful without complications. Conclusions Our results suggest that the use of a gracilis muscle flap to vascularise urethral repairs can improve the outcome of challenging urethral repairs.
