چکیده
We propose to detect brain activation from fMR time-series of a group study by modeling fuzzy features. Five discriminating features are automatically extracted from fMRI data by a sequence of temporal-sliding-windows. A fuzzy model based on these features is first derived by a gradient method on a set of initial training data and then incrementally enhanced. The resulting fuzzy activation maps of all subjects are then combined to provide a measure of strength of activation of each voxel, based on the group of subjects. A two-way thresholding scheme is introduced to determine true activated voxels. The method is tested on both synthetic and real fMRI datasets. The method is less vulnerable to correlated noise and able to capture the key activation from a group of subjects by adapting to hemodynamic variability across subjects.

In this work we propose an approach for incorporating learning probabilistic context-sensitive grammar (LPCSG) in genetic programming (GP), employed for evolution and adaptation of locomotion gaits of a simulated snake-like robot (Snakebot). Our approach is derived from the original context-free grammar which usually expresses the syntax of genetic programs in canonical GP. Empirically obtained...

We present and analyze a novel hierarchical a posteriori error estimate for elliptic obstacle problems. The main result is that the energy norm of the finite element approximate error is, up to some extra oscillation term, equivalent to an appropriate hierarchical estimator. The proof is based upon some new observations on efficiency and some technical tools deriving from a previous work (Zou e...

Researchers have created 3D interaction techniques for immersive virtual worlds, but existing techniques represent just part of the design space. While exploring other parts of the design space might yield more effective techniques, conducting that exploration is difficult and time-consuming. Analyzing the particular task, user, and hardware characteristics for any given problem is straightforw...

In this paper, a fully implicit finite volume Eulerian scheme and a corresponding scalable parallel solver are developed for some tracer transport problems on the cubed-sphere. To efficiently solve the large sparse linear system at each time step on parallel computers, we introduce a Schwarz preconditioned Krylov subspace method using two discretizations. More precisely speaking, the higher ord...

High order path-conservative schemes have been developed for solving nonconservative hyperbolic systems in (Parés, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 44:300–321, 2006; Castro et al., Math. Comput. 75:1103–1134, 2006; J. Sci. Comput. 39:67–114, 2009). Recently, it has been observed in (Abgrall and Karni, J. Comput. Phys. 229:2759– 2763, 2010) that this approach may have some computational issues and shortcomi...

In geographically weighted regression, one must determine a window size which will be used to subset the data locally. Typically, a cross-validation procedure is used to determine a globally optimal window size. Preliminary investigations indicate that the global cross-validation score is heavily influenced by a small number of observations in the dataset. At present, the ramifications of this ...
