Most data is multi-dimensional. Discovering whether any subset of dimensions, or subspaces, of such data is significantly correlated is a core task in data mining. To do so, we require a measure that quantifies how correlated a subspace is. For practical use, such a measure should be universal in the sense that it captures correlation in subspaces of any dimensionality and allows to meaningfull...

We investigate methods for estimating and visualising the residual dependency structure in distributed representations such as those produced by independent component analysis (ICA). This process involves estimating the mutual information between many pairs of components, for which use a method based on nonlinear correlations. The pairwise dependencies are then represented geometrically using m...

Provenance is information recording the source, derivation, or history of some information. Provenance tracking has been studied in a variety of settings, particularly database management systems; however, although many candidate definitions of provenance have been proposed, the mathematical or semantic foundations of data provenance have received comparatively little attention. In this article...

Despite the widespread use of mobail phones in Iranian students, psychological and behavioral effects of addiction to it and its consequences have not been investigated yet. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cell phone dependency with psychological disorders and academic burnout among nursing and midwifery students. In this study, 169 students were chosen through s...

With the complexity and the dynamic analysis requirements during software adaptation for software in the open and dynamic environment, the software analysis requires integrating multiple analysis methods and controlling the execution of analysis methods in specific sequence. As a result, the analysis process is hard to be communicated to its designers, implementers and users without an explicit...

Objectives: The GALS (Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine) examination is a compact version of standard procedures used by rheumatologists to determine musculoskeletal disorders in patients. Computerization of such a clinical procedure is necessary to ensure an objective evaluation. This article presents the first steps in such an approach by outlining a procedure to use motion analysis techniques as a ...
