We present a new algorithm called Ordered Classification, that is useful for classification problems where only few labeled examples are available but a large test set needs to be classified. In many real-world classification problems, it is expensive and some times unfeasible to acquire a large training set, thus, traditional supervised learning algorithms often perform poorly. In our algorith...

Apart from the dimensionality problem, the uncertainty of Microarray data quality is another major challenge of Microarray classification. Microarray data contains various levels of noise and quite often are high levels of noise, and these data lead to unreliable and low accuracy analysis as well as the high dimensionality problem. In this paper, we propose a new Microarray data classification ...

In this article, the steering committee of the Parameterized Algorithms and Computational Experiments challenge (PACE) reports on the first iteration of the challenge. Where did PACE come from, how did it go, who won, and what’s next? 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.2.2 Nonnumerical Algorithms and Problems, K.7.2 Organizations

This classification originally produced by the ISPO "Kay" Committee in 1973, has now with minor modifications, become an International Standard (ISO 8548-1: 1989). It is limited to those deficiencies which are failures of formation and describes them on anatomical and radiological bases only. All are divided into transverse and longitudinal, and use simple terms and descriptors.

In 2005, the International Lipid Classification and Nomenclature Committee under the sponsorship of the LIPID MAPS Consortium developed and established a "Comprehensive Classification System for Lipids" based on well-defined chemical and biochemical principles and using an ontology that is extensible, flexible, and scalable. This classification system, which is compatible with contemporary data...

BACKGROUND A management tool, called the Experience Feedback Committee, has been applied for patient safety and successfully used in medical departments. The purpose of this study was to analyse the functioning of an Experience Feedback Committee in a psychiatric department and to explore its contribution to the particular issues of patient safety in mental health. METHODS We conducted a desc...
