Taming the bias zoo

Taming the zoo - about algorithms implementation in the ecosystem of Apache Hadoop

Content Analysis System (CoAnSys) is a research framework for mining scientific publications using Apache Hadoop. This article describes the algorithms currently implemented in CoAnSys including classification, categorization and citation matching of scientific publications. The size of the input data classifies these algorithms in the range of big data problems, which can be efficiently solved...

GSplit LBI: Taming the Procedural Bias in Neuroimaging for Disease Prediction

In voxel-based neuroimage analysis, lesion features have been the main focus in disease prediction due to their interpretability with respect to the related diseases. However, we observe that there exists another type of features introduced during the preprocessing steps and we call them “Procedural Bias”. Besides, such bias can be leveraged to improve classification accuracy. Nevertheless, mos...

Alfred, the Zoo Gorilla

1Diet.?This was a difficulty. The normal food for a gorilla is the tops of bamboo shoots and wild celery, which means an enormous amount of roughage : a male gorilla is said to pass 1 cwt. of faeces a day. The Zoo diet arranged for him was milk, special wholemeal bread, and bananas (he was having forty-eight a day at the outbreak of war), and when bananas were no longer obtainable they were rep...

The Binary Zoo

In studying encounters between binaries and single stars, one is interested in three classes of events: exchanges of stars, hardening of the original binary by a third star, and the production of merged objects. We present a means for computing cross sections for these three outcomes for an arbitrary binary and single star as might be found in the core of a globular cluster. The cross sections ...
