Continuous training is crucial for creating and maintaining the right skill-profile for the industrial organization's workforce. There is a tremendous variety in the available trainings within an organization: technical, project management, quality, leadership, domain-specific, soft-skills etc. Hence it is important to assist the employee in choosing the best trainings, which perfectly suits her background,...
To try to decrease the preference of the attribute values for information gain and information gain ratio, in the paper, the authors puts forward a improved algorithm of C4.5 decision tree on the selection classification attribute. The basic thought of the algorithm is as follows: Firstly, computing the information gain of selection classification attribute, and then get an attribute of the information...
Data scientists are exploring various semi-supervised learning methods to build conversational agents - commonly known as chatterbot. This paper investigates various issues related to a political chatterbot where human agents are politically opinionated. Here, understanding the latent intent of human agent is crucial for developing an efficient political chatterbot. We set our study in the context...
The widespread prevalence of dietary supplements has drawn extensive attention due to the safety and efficacy issue. Clinical notes document a great amount of detailed information on dietary supplement usage, thus providing a rich source for clinical research on supplement safety surveillance. Identification the use status of dietary supplements is one of the initial steps for the ultimate goal of...
Successful ECG monitoring algorithms often rely on learned models to describe the heartbeats morphology. Unfortunately, when the heart rate increases the heartbeats get transformed, and a model that can properly describe the heartbeats of a specific user in resting conditions might not be appropriate for monitoring the same user during everyday activities. We model heartbeats by dictionaries yielding...
Mitochondria are organelles that play an important role in the cell's life cycle as the energy generating units. State-of-the-art imaging modalities, such as electron microscopy, allow researchers to study tissues, cells and sub-cellular organelles at high resolution. Recently, various works address the problem of segmenting mitochondria in electron microscopy images. Manual segmentation of mitochondria...
In machine learning, data augmentation is the process of creating synthetic examples in order to augment a dataset used to learn a model. One motivation for data augmentation is to reduce the variance of a classifier, thereby reducing error. In this paper, we propose new data augmentation techniques specifically designed for time series classification, where the space in which they are embedded is...
Thanks to rapidly evolving sequencing techniques, the amount of genomic data at our disposal is growing increasingly large. Determining the gene structure is a fundamental requirement to effectively interpret gene function and regulation. An important part in that determination process is the identification of translation initiation sites. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for automatic prediction...
In this paper, we proposed a dorsal hand vein recognition method based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), compared the recognition rate of different depth CNN models and analyzed the influence of dataset size on dorsal hand vein recognition rate. Firstly, the region of interest (ROI) of dorsal hand vein images was extracted, and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and Gaussian...
Melanomas are the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Due to observer bias, computerized analysis of dermoscopy images has become an important research area. One of the most important steps in dermoscopy image analysis is the automated detection of lesion areas in the dermoscopy images. In this paper, we present a deep learning method for automatic skin lesion segmentation. We use a subset of the...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is widely-used for supervised dimension reduction and linear classification. Classical LDA, however, suffers from the ill-posed estimation problem on data with high dimension and low sample size (HDLSS). To cope with this problem, in this paper, we propose an Adaptive Wishart Discriminant Analysis (AWDA) for classification, that makes predictions in an ensemble way...
Class imbalance exists in many applications of bioinformatics and biomedicine, while dimension reduction in the feature space is often needed when building prediction models on a dataset. When the above two issues need to be considered simultaneously for skewed/imbalanced datasets, practitioners and researchers in machine learning may raise the following question: should feature selection be conducted...
Modern patient data tends to be large-scale and multi-dimensional, containing both spatial and temporal features. Learning good spatio-temporal features from large patient data is a challenging task, especially when there are missing observations. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal autoencoder (STAE), an unsupervised deep learning scheme, to learn features from large-scale and high-dimensional...
Based on the Internet industry of art and design talent requirements, the implementation of the "occupation oriented curriculum system design of the reverse derivation process", according to the market of art design talents training ability structure needs to establish plans and objectives, develop the modular curriculum system. The curriculum system of combining design art with practice...
This work presents a Virtual Reality training environment for upper limb amputees. Based on principles of a serious game, the training environment aims to condition the patient to use a prosthesis before it is manufactured. Studies show that the time of adjustment for use of a real prosthesis is considerably high. This often brings immense dismay to those patients who are already psychologically depressed...
Games can make training procedures more engaging for patients. Considering the complexity of the process for upper limb function rehabilitation, this paper presents the development and an initial evaluation of the AGaR – a serious game with virtual reality and natural interaction, both to aid patients to execute repetitive exercises and to aid physiotherapists to follow the rehabilitation...
Recurrent neural network has been widely used as auto-regressive model for time series. The most commonly used training method for recurrent neural network is back propagation. However, recurrent neural networks trained with back propagation can get trapped at local minima and saddle points. In these cases, auto-regressive models cannot effectively model time series patterns. In order to address these...
IP Addresses are a central part of packet- and flow-based network data. However, visualization and similarity computation of IP Addresses are challenging to due the missing natural order. This paper presents a novel similarity measure IP2Vec for IP Addresses that builds on ideas from Word2Vec, a popular approach in text mining. The key idea is to learn similarities by extracting available context...
Domain generation algorithms (DGAs) automatically generate large numbers of domain names in DNS domain fluxing for the purpose of command-and-control (C&C) communication. DGAs are immune to static prevention methods like blacklisting and sinkholing. Detection of DGAs in a live stream of queries in a DNS server is referred to as inline detection. Most of the previous approaches in the literature...
In this article we address the problem of expanding the set of papers that researchers encounter when conducting bibliographic research on their scientific work. Using classical search engines or recommender systems in digital libraries, some interesting and relevant articles could be missed if they do not contain the same search key-phrases that the researcher is aware of. We propose a novel model...
