It’s time to consider a change. I propose to you that our name no longer serves our purpose or mission. The ICUs are not what they were 24 years ago when this Society was formed, and essentially everything about how we live and how we provide care has changed dramatically. Our Society has been changing, too, and thus it is time to consider a name change as an opportunity to better position ours...

The first topic I would like to explore is probabilistic reasoning with Bayesian nets. I see that reasoning under situations of uncertainty is a very important area of AI, and it is apparent that these techniques are the standard approach for effectively modeling this uncertainty. I am particularly interested in learning how to model complex relationships between variables in spite of redundant...

Consider the partition function S μ( ) associated in the theory of Rényi dimension to a finite Borel measure μ on Euclidean d-space. This partition function S μ( ) is the sum of the q-th powers of the measure applied to a partition of d-space into d-cubes of width . We further Guérin’s investigation of the relation between this partition function and the Lebesgue Lp norm (Lq norm) of the convol...

Improving Writer Identification Through Writer Selection

In this work we present a method for selecting instances for a writer identification system underpinned on the dissimilarity representation and a holistic representation based on texture. The proposed method is based on a genetic algorithm that surpasses the limitations imposed by large training sets by selecting writers instead of instances. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, we ha...
