Most of the work till date focus on summary generation, while this paper focus on intrinsic summary evaluation. Studies made for preparing the 'Gold Standard' reference summary present some of the key issues in preparing a reference summary. Spearman, Kendall's W, and Kendall's rank correlation coefficients have been used for measuring inter-judge rank correlation. Existing drawbacks in Precision-Recall based evaluation and utility-based evaluation schemes were analysed. A new measure, called 'Effectiveness', to measure the system performance at given compression rate has been introduced.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Artif. Intell.

Trust can be defined as the degree of confidence in an agent's prediction of another agent's future behaviour. In the context of the BDI model, trust can be defined as the beliefs that one agent has of another's beliefs, desires, intentions and capabilities. This paper first presents our own version of BDI interpreter. Then, the above vision of trust is incorporated into the BDI interpreter in order to help an agent in the decision process before delegating tasks to other agents.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Firstly, unimportant attributes are eliminated using RST generating minimal subset of attributes, called reducts. Considering each core attribute as root of a decision tree, classification rules are built and grouped based on some similarity measure. Representative of each group constitute the new rule set and thus rules has been reduced while important information are retained. D-S theory ensembles the rules from which a classifier with highest accuracy has been selected.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Artif. Intell.

We compare recognition performance when DFs are formulated using Smoothed Direction Vectors (SDV) and Unsmoothed Direction Vectors (UDV). In experiments, direction features from original pattern yielded inferior performance, whereas primitive sub-character direction features using smoothed direction-encoded vectors made significant difference. Recognition rates were improved by about 7% and 5% using SDV when compared with UDV and smoothed with Moving Average (MA) technique, respectively.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

This paper presents one of the most advanced signal-processing techniques i.e., Wavelet Transform (WT) to extract some of the important useful features of the non-stationary PQ signal. The features are then used to classify the nature of the PQ disturbance. The feature dimension is further reduced by selecting the optimal set of features using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to achieve a higher classification accuracy. The optimal features obtained using GA are used to train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for automatic classification of the Power Quality (PQ) disturbances. Nine types of PQ disturbances are considered for the classification purpose. The simulation results show that the combination of WT and SVM can effectively classify different PQ disturbances.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Artif. Intell.

The main goal of this paper is to develop a neuro-fuzzy model for fuel Injection Time (IT) in order to design a neuro-fuzzy controller for improving the performance of the spark ignition engine. The obtained results showed that the developed neuro-fuzzy model is capable of predicting the fuel IT with a mean squared error less than 0.0072. Furthermore, the power produced by the neuro-fuzzy controller has higher values of about 15-73% than the power produced by the PID controller used in the basic engine. The BSFC is reduced by about 2-5% compared to the PID controller.","PeriodicalId":364571,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Artif. Intell.
