Efficacy data from diverse chemical libraries,
screened against the various stages of the malaria parasite
Plasmodium falciparum, including asexual blood stage (ABS)
parasites and transmissible gametocytes, serve as a ...
We present techniques for verifying strategic abilities of multi-agent systems via SAT-based
and Max-SAT-based bounded model checking. In our approach we focus on systems of
agents that pursue goals with regard to the ...
From Aristotle's "de Interpretatione IX" we are familiar with the famous scenario: "tomorrow there will be a sea battle, OR tomorrow there will be NO sea battle". From a purely syntactic-formal point of view, Aristotle's ...
Dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs) are optimization problems where elements of the problems, such as the objective functions and/or constraints, change with time. These problems are characterized by two ...

The interpretability of models has been one of the focal research topics in the machine
learning community due to a rise in the use of black box models and complex
state-of-the-art models [6]. Most of these models are ...
South Africa has eleven official languages and amongst the eleven languages only 9
languages are local low-resourced languages. As a result, it is essential to build the
resources for these languages so that they can ...
It was researched whether a multilingual Bantu pretraining corpus could be created from
freely available data. Here, to create the dataset, Bantu text extracted from datasets that
are freely available online (mainly from ...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an evolutionary networking paradigm that offers simplified and agile network configuration and management capabilities. However, embracing this new and futuristic paradigm requires the ...
Voice cloning methods have been used in a range of ways, from customized speech interfaces for marketing to video games. Current voice cloning systems are smart enough to learn speech characteristics from a few samples and ...
Multi-agent systems for resource allocation (MRAs) have been introduced as a concept for modelling
competitive resource allocation problems in distributed computing. An MRA is composed of a set
of agents and a set of ...

Barchan morphometric data have been used as proxies of meteorological and topographical data in environments where this data is lacking (such as other planetary bodies), gaining insights into barchan dune field dynamics ...
Real-world nonstationary data are usually characterized by high nonlinearity and complex patterns due to the effects of different exogenous factors that make prediction a very challenging task. An ensemble strategically ...

One of the most precise methods to detect prostate cancer is by evaluation of a stained
biopsy by a pathologist under a microscope. Regions of the tissue are assessed and graded
according to the observed histological ...
The increasing strain on ageing generation infrastructure has seen more frequent instances
of scheduled and unscheduled blackouts, rising reliability on fossil fuel based energy alternatives
and a slow down in efforts ...
