Traditional recommendation algorithms drive personalized recommendations using the data from user purchases and ratings. For e-book retailers, besides user purchases and ratings, product features such as book content and metadata also provide […]

Predictive modeling is a statistical data mining approach that builds a prediction function from the observed data. The function is then used to estimate a value of a dependent variable for new data. Then objective of the project is to develop predictive models by machine learning approach and data mining techniques from the large volum […]

Aircraft/Avionics System certification is awarded by aviation regulatory bodies to applicants after they have demonstrated that the design of the system meets airworthiness requirements. Airworthiness requirements are a complex set of requirements, standards, and regulations. Demonstration of compliance to airworthiness requirements can be accomplished through testing, reviews, similarity of installation and/or usage and other means. […]
