Using temporal context to improve biosurveillance.
Current efforts to detect covert bioterrorist attacks from increases in hospital visit rates are plagued by the unpredictable nature of these rates. Although many current systems evaluate hospital visit data 1 day at a time, we investigate evaluating multiple days at once to lessen the effects of this unpredictability and to improve both the timeliness and sensitivity of detection. To test this...
متن کاملUsing Local Context To Improve Face Detection
Most face detection algorithms locate faces by classifying the content of a detection window iterating over all positions and scales of the input image. Recent developments have accelerated this process up to real-time performance at high levels of accuracy. However, even the best of today’s computational systems are far from being able to compete with the detection capabilities of the human vi...
متن کاملUsing Context to Improve Semantic Interoperability
This paper presents an approach to enhance interoperability between heterogeneous ontologies. It consists in adapting the ranking of concepts to the final users and their work context. The computations are based on an upper domain ontology, a task hierarchy and a user profile. As prerequisites, OWL ontologies have to be given, and an articulation ontology has to be built.
متن کاملDistributed Biosurveillance Systems Using Sensible Agent Technology to Improve Coordination and Communication among Decision - Makers
Protecting the population from chemical-biological attacks and outbreaks of infectious disease is a fundamental goal of health agencies, and early warning is critical for an effective response. However, such biosurveillance activities are inherently challenging due to the complexities involved in coordinating participants; determining the reliability of information; and drawing epidemiological ...
متن کاملSequential learning using temporal context
The temporal context model (TCM) has been extensively applied to recall phenomena from episodic memory. Here we use the same formulation of temporal context to construct a sequential learning model called the predictive temporal context model (pTCM) to extract the generating function of a language from sequentially-presented words. In pTCM, temporal context is used to generate a prediction vect...
