Optical projection tomography enables 3-D imaging of colorectal polyps at resolutions of 5-10 µm. This paper investigates the ability of image analysis based on 3-D texture features to discriminate diagnostic levels of dysplastic change from such images, specifically, low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia and invasive cancer. We build a patch-based recognition system and evaluate both multi...

BACKGROUND Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and depression share a number of common symptoms and the majority of CFS patients meet lifetime criteria for depression. While cognitive factors seem key to the maintenance of CFS and depression, little is known about how the cognitive characteristics differ in the two conditions. METHODS Fifty-three CFS patients were compared with 20 depressed patien...

This paper presents an unsupervised method for discriminating among the senses of a given target word based on the context in which it occurs. Instances of a word that occur in similar contexts are grouped together via McQuitty’s Similarity Analysis, an agglomerative clustering algorithm. The context in which a target word occurs is represented by surface lexical features such as unigrams, bigr...

In my talk, I will first briefly review challenges and the current state-of-the-art for genome-wide annotation of non-coding RNAs. To accurately locate non-coding RNAs in a genome it turned out to be critical to know what parts are actually coding. Although there are many sophisticated protein gene finders and very good annotations exist for most model organisms, there are also ambiguous and no...

The insurance industry is built on risk classification, grouping insureds into homogeneous classes. Through actions such as underwriting, pricing, and so forth, it differentiates, or discriminates, among insureds. Actuaries have responsibility for pricing transfers are intimately involved in other aspects of company a keen interest whether not discrimination appropriate from both societal viewp...

abstract. a practical common weight scalarizing function methodology with an improved discriminating power for technology selection is introduced. the proposed scalarizing function methodology enables the evaluation of the relative efficiency of decision-making units (dmus) with respect to multiple outputs and a single exact input with common weights. its robustness and discriminating power are...

Equiprobable incoherent mixtures of two totally polarized states light whose associated three-dimensional Jones vectors are mutually orthogonal called discriminating and constitute a peculiar type state that plays key role in the characteristic decomposition generic into state, unpolarized state. In general, three-dimensional, sense strengths three components electric field nonzero for any Cart...
