Paraphrase detection is important for a number of applications, including plagiarism detection, authorship attribution, question answering, text summarization, text mining in general, etc. In this paper, we give a performance overview of various types of corpus-based models, especially deep learning (DL) models, with the task of paraphrase detection. We report the results of eight models […]

A Novel Approach to Extracting Useful Information From Noisy TFDs Using 2D Local Entropy Measures
The paper proposes a novel approach for extraction of useful information and blind source separation of signal components from noisy data in the time-frequency domain. The method is based on the local Rényi entropy calculated inside adaptive, data-driven 2D regions, the sizes of which are calculated utilizing the improved, relative intersection of confidence intervals (RICI) […]
Time-dependent numerical model for simulating internal oscillations in a sea organ
This paper presents a one-dimensional time-dependent numerical model of a sea organ, which generates music driven by the motion of the sea. The governing equations are derived by coupling hydrodynamic and thermodynamic equations for water level and air pressure oscillations in a sea organ pipe system forced by irregular waves. The model was validated by […]
Towards a Cyber Secure Shipboard Radar
This paper presents a comparative cyber security resilience estimation of shipboard radars that are implemented on two oil/chemical tankers certified as SOLAS ships. The estimated radars were chosen from the same manufacturer, but belonged to different generations. The estima- tion was conducted by means of ships’ crew interviews and computational testing of the radars using […]
Raising Awareness on Cyber Security of ECDIS
In the maritime transport, the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) has been developed into a complex computer-based ship critical operational technology system, playing central roles in the safe ship navigation and transport. While ECDIS software maintenance is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) ECDIS performance standards and related circulars, underlying software and […]
Automatic Annotation of Narrative Radiology Reports
Narrative texts in electronic health records can be efficiently utilized for building decision support systems in the clinic, only if they are correctly interpreted automatically in accordance with a specified standard. This paper tackles the problem of developing an automated method of labeling free-form radiology reports, as a precursor for building query-capable report databases in […]
Improving the Performance of Dynamic Ship Positioning Systems: A Review of Filtering and Estimation Techniques
Various operations at sea, such as maintaining a constant ship position and direction, require a complex control system. Under such conditions, the ship needs an efficient positioning technique. Dynamic positioning (DP) systems provide such an application with a combination of the actuators mechanism, analyses of crucial ship variables, and environmental conditions. The natural forces of […]
Structural Analysis of Factual, Conceptual, Procedural, and Metacognitive Knowledge in a Multidimensional Knowledge Network
Discovering the most suitable network structure of the learning domain represents one of the main challenges of knowledge delivery and acquisition. We propose a multidimensional knowledge network (MKN) consisting of three components: multilayer network and its two projections. Each network layer constitutes factual, conceptual, procedural, or metacognitive knowledge within the domain of databases as a […]
Active Player Detection in Handball Scenes Based on Activity Measures
The scientific article “Active Player Detection in Handball Scenes Based on Activity Measures” by M. Pobar, M. Ivašić-Kos was published in open access in the journal MDPI Sensors, in the special issue “Advanced Computational Intelligence for Object Detection, Feature Extraction and Recognition in Smart Sensor Environments ”, Sensors 2020, 20 (5), 1475 and is available […]
Improved Power System State Estimator With Preprocessing Based on the Modified Intersection of Confidence Intervals
The paper proposes a power system state estimator upgraded by the improved relative intersection of confidence intervals (RICI) algorithm combined with the local polynomial approximation (LPA). In the proposed approach, a novel LPA-RICI denoising technique is utilized to preprocess the input measurements. The accuracy of the adaptive, data-driven LPA-RICI based state estimator was tested on […]
