A Macro For Getting More Out Of Your ROC Curve

As a part of clinical decision making, a continuous measure reflective of a patient’s condition (e.g. laboratory test result) is often dichotomized (or “cut”) into two groups (e.g., abnormal and normal) for predictive or screening purposes. The decision of where to select the cut-off point is often governed by a reasonable trade-off between sensitivity and specificity for a particular test. A c...

To directly address the needs of semantic applications, we pre...

Developing a set of closely related applications as a program family is one such development method. In the context of OOP, a p...

Getting more out of your images: augmenting photos for recollection and reminiscence

In recent years HCI-related research has shown an increasing interest in systems designed for supporting human memory. However, many of these systems focus more on the technical challenges, especially around data collection and retrieval. In this paper we introduce three ideas for augmenting digital images to support recollection, reminiscing and reflection. Three playful applications are propo...
