Using Density Estimation to Improve Text Categorization

This paper explores the use of a statistical technique known as density estimation to potentially improve the results of text categorization systems which label documents by computing similarities between documents and categories. In addition to potentially improving a system's overall accuracy, density estimation converts similarity scores to probabilities. These probabilities provide con denc...

NMF-Density: NMF-Based Breast Density Classifier

The amount of tissue available in the breast, commonly characterized by the breast density, is highly correlated with breast cancer. In fact, dense breasts have higher risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, breast density influences the mammographic interpretation since it decreases the sensitivity of breast cancer detection. This sensitivity decrease is due to the fact that both ...

Breast Density into Clinical Practice

It is well established that breast density is related to breast cancer risk; making that connection precise, and understanding how to use it in clinical practice, has been a major academic focus since the 1970’s. However, it transpires that the first clinical uses of breast density have not been for risk prediction, rather they are for judging when to recommend further imaging. In this paper, w...
