As a result, models are quickly search to recommend models when designing virtual scenes in movies and games. Today, number of 3D models increases sharply and entertainment needs develop quickly. Therefore, classifying 3D models is essential task. Previous studies used many features to improve the accuracy of classifying. It takes a long time for both extracting features and classifying models. In this paper, we select three features and find a suitable classifier to drop the time for computing in classifying 3D models. Proposed features are eigenvalues associated with the principal axes of 3D models. We compare available classifiers to select the best one, Support Vector Machine, to classify models. Experiments are conducted on two benchmark databases including travel means in Princeton Shape Benchmark and animals in Shape Retrieval Contest 2010. Experiment results show our approach is useful for recommendation applications and roughly classifying 3D models.","PeriodicalId":137666,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114874086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our proposal builds on a new classification of Aristotelian syllogisms and a closely linked classification of reasoning behaviors/strategies. We argue that the variation in error rates across syllogistic reasoning tasks is in part due to individual variation: reasoners follow different reasoning strategies and these strategies play out differently for syllogisms of different classes.","PeriodicalId":137666,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122365655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the user has no or almost no interaction with the recommendation system before, the system finds it difficult to obtain adequate information about user preferences so that it cannot provide a high quality personalized recommendation service. Furthermore, there is also a lack of information about the preferences of even familiar users due to the fact that many of them are not always willing to explicitly describe their evaluation of a specific item through ratings. Utilizing all information about user preferences including explicit and especially implicit data helps our recommendation system achieve a promising result in the ACM RecSys Challenge 2018 organized by Spotify.

The final representation of the sentence is inner product of the matrix and the attention vector.

This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable multi-function memory direct memory controller (ReDMAC) for high-performance MPSoCs. The ReDMAC supports the capability of dynamic reconfiguration by enabling the hardware fabrics to be synthesized into various functions even if the system is working. The ReDMAC can support four operating modes, including direct memory access, matrix transposing, data sorting, and matrix merging. The ReDMAC has been modeled at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) using VHDL language. The controller has been simulated and evaluated on reconfigurability to work with individual functions. The controller is also synthesized with the Synopsys Design Compiler tool to compare hardware costs with the independent implementation of each individual function. Simulation and synthesis results indicate that the proposed design meets the required functionality, while the area of the controller decreases about three times compared to total area of independent function cores.","PeriodicalId":137666,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"157 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128782584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike the conventional scheme, RIM-CI-OFDM allows two distinguishable clusters of sub-carriers to employ the same indices of active sub-carriers, while the CI principle is jointly applied to the M-ary data symbols from both of these clusters. As a result, the proposed scheme not only outperforms IM-OFDM-CI in terms of index and M-ary symbol error performances but also provides a better tradeoff between the reliability and the spectral efficiency (SE). In addition, our scheme allows the number of active sub-carriers to be any positive integer while it is fixed to an even number in the conventional IM-OFDM-CI. A low complexity maximum likelihood (lowML) detector, which enjoys the optimal error performance as the ML detector at much lower complexity, is also proposed. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the better performance of the proposed RIM-CI-OFDM and lowML detector in comparison with benchmark schemes.","PeriodicalId":137666,"journal":{"name":"2018 5th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128815668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
