This paper is about the design, implementation, and deployment of a multi-modal biometric system to grant access to a company structure and to internal zones in the company itself. Face and iris have been chosen as biometric traits. Face is feasible...

We would like to make the following change to our article [1]. [...]

Contradiction detection is a task to recognize contradiction relations between a pair of sentences. Despite the effectiveness of traditional context-based word embedding learning algorithms in many natural language processing tasks, such algorithms a...

As part of network security processes, network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) determine whether incoming packets contain malicious patterns. Pattern matching, the key NIDS component, consumes large amounts of execution time. One of several trend...

In recent years, metaheuristic algorithms have been widely used in solving clustering problems because of their good performance and application effects. Krill herd algorithm (KHA) is a new effective algorithm to solve optimization problems based on...

Precipitation is a very important topic in weather forecasts. Weather forecasts, especially precipitation prediction, poses complex tasks because they depend on various parameters to predict the dependent variables like temperature, humidity, wind sp...

We present the semilocal convergence of a multi-step modified Newton-Hermitian and Skew-Hermitian Splitting method (MMN-HSS method) to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation. Earlier studies show convergence under only Lipschitz conditions li...

The bilateral spot electricity market is very complicated because all generation units and demands must strategically bid in this market. Considering renewable resource penetration, the high variability and the non-dispatchable nature of these interm...

Cloud storage services allow users to efficiently outsource their documents anytime and anywhere. Such convenience, however, leads to privacy concerns. While storage providers may not read users’ documents, attackers may possibly gain access by explo...
