Cold tolerance, the ability to cope with low temperature stress, is a critical adaptation in thermally variable environments. An individual's cold tolerance comprises several traits including minimum temperatures for growth and activity, ability to survive severe cold, and ability to resume normal function after cold subsides. Across species, these traits are correlated, suggesting they were shaped...
In this paper, we introduce a new dataset, Kimia Path24, for image classification and retrieval in digital pathology. We use the whole scan images of 24 different tissue textures to generate 1,325 test patches of size 1000x1000 (0.5mm x 0.5mm). Training data can be generated according to preferences of algorithm designer and can range from approximately 27,000 to over 50,000 patches if the preset...
Many research works have successfully extended algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement agents and neural networks using “opposition-based learning” (OBL). Two types of the “opposites” have been defined in the literature, namely type-I and type-II. The former are linear in nature and applicable to the variable space, hence easy to calculate. On the other hand, type-II opposites capture...
Prediction of O-linked glycosylation sites in proteins is a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduced a new method to predict glycosylation sites in proteins. First, we built a Markov random field (MRF) to represent the sequence position relationship and model the underlying distribution of glycosylation sites. We then considered glycosylation site prediction as a class imbalance problem and...
This paper proposes a robust and automated applause detection algorithm for meeting speech. The features used in the proposed algorithm are the short-time autocorrelation features such as autocorrelation energy decay factor, amplitude and lag values of first local minimum and zero-crossing points extracted from the autocorrelation sequence of a windowed audio signal. We apply decision thresholds for...
