Time and change are notions that seems unavoidable in some areas of work and investigation, languages that can deal with these notions are necessary. At the same time, methods for a proper time handling are quite complex, mainly because problem’s…

Clustering of short texts is an important research area because of its applicability in information retrieval and text mining. To this end was proposed CLUDIPSO, a discrete Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to cluster short texts. Initial results showed that CLUDIPSO…

One of the main concerns is the nature of the missing values. Let’s consider extremes for simplicity. If missing at random we have not to care about. But if missing shows structures that covariate with substantive variables we have to…

La información extraída de especimenes biológicos es inherentemente tridimensional. Los datos tridimensionales (3D) permiten un mejor entendimiento de las estructuras y los eventos biológicos, comparados con sus proyecciones bidimensionales (2D), aunque a veces son más difíciles de manejar. Esto explica…

Most search methods in metric spaces assume that the topology of the object collection is reasonably regular. However, there exist nested metric spaces, where objects in the collection can be grouped into clusters or subspaces, in such a way that…

This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making. Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

Este trabajo aporta nuevas evidencias sobre el impacto de las reformas comerciales sobre los salarios. En primer lugar, se introduce un modelo de comercio que combina un mecanismo de fijación de salarios no competitivo debido a la existencia de sindicatos,…

As the research literature on the protists continues to grow, new data -- especially of an ultrastructural or molecular nature -- are accumulating that bear directly on the systematics (as well as evolution and phylogeny) of these biologically diverse forms…

Los programas de pensiones latinoamericanos tienen baja cobertura. Utilizando paneles de registros administrativos de Argentina, Chile y Uruguay, caracterizamos las historias de contribución de la población. Construimos tres indicadores: densidad de cotización, tasas de transición y duración de los períodos…
