TASKS 1. Given the first 1000 words in 1700 blogs, develop age (13-17, 23-27, 33-47) and gender (Male, Female) prediction algorithms, with a goal of beating a baseline prediction accuracies of 73.24% (for gender) and 70.23% (for age). 2. Given 488 images, develop age (under 30, 35-50, over 55) and gender (Male, Female) prediction algorithms, with a goal of beating a baseline prediction accuraci...

background: pulmonary function tests (pfts) are used in assessing physiological to clinical status of the respiratory system, which is expressed as a percentage of predicted values. predicted pfts values are varies in different ethnics. predicted pfts values were studied in a sample of iranian children. materials and methods: prediction equations for pfts were derived from urban children in the...

the impulse oscillation system (ios) measures respiratory impedance (zrs) in terms of resistance (rrs) and reactance (xrs) at multiples of 5 hz. these measurements can be used clinically to help diagnose and monitor respiratory disorders, independent of effort. there is, as yet, no information on reference values for ios in iranian adolescents. the predictive equation for resistance and impedan...
