Background: We designed an algorithmic model based on the logistic regression analysis and a non-algorithmic model based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Materials and methods: The ability of these models was compared together in clinical application to differentiate malignant from benign breast tumors in a study group of 161 patients' records. Each patient’s record consisted of 6 subjec...

Saliency regions attract more human’s attention than other regions in an image. Low- level and high-level features are utilized in saliency region detection. Low-level features contain primitive information such as color or texture while high-level features usually consider visual systems. Recently, some salient region detection methods have been proposed based on only low-level features or hig...

Background: Early prediction of the outcome situation of COVID-19 patients can decrease mortality risk by assuring efficient resource allocation and treatment planning. This study introduces a very accurate and fast system for the prediction of COVID-19 outcomes using demographic, vital signs, and laboratory blood test data. Methods: In this analytic study, which is done from May 2020 to June ...

recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. user similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. in order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...

image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. in this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. for text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. query in this system contains some keywords and an input...
