Strong evidence shows that characteristic patterns of breast tissues as seen on mammography, referred to as mammographic parenchymal patterns, provide crucial information about breast cancer risk. Quantitative evaluation ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of the introduction of an ultrasound-based model of care for women with acute gynecological complications. METHODS: This was a prospective comparative study of women attending an ultrasound-based ...

For supervised learning, feature selection algorithms attempt to maximise a given function of predictive accuracy. This function usually considers the ability of feature vectors to reflect decision class labels. It is ...

Abstract. This paper describes an artificial immune system algorithm which implements a fairly close analogue of the memory mechanism proposed by Jerne(1) (usually known as the Immune Network Theory). The algorithm demonstrates ...

Computer-aided mammographic prompting systems require the reliable detection of a variety of signs of cancer. In this paper we concentrate on the detection of spiculated lesions in mammograms. A spiculated lesion is typically ...

The automotive industry was the first to promote the development of applications of model-based systems technology on a broad scale and, as a result, has produced some of the most advanced prototypes and products. In this ...

This paper describes a method for building visual “maps” from video data using quantized descriptions of motion. This enables unsupervised classification of scene regions based upon the motion patterns observed within them. ...

The expressive power, powerful search capability, and the explicit nature of the resulting models make evolutionary methods very attractive for supervised learning applications in bioinformatics. However, their characteristics ...

The diffusion and transfer of knowledge is central to the process of innovation and is of importance to both academics and industrialists. In this paper, we propose that academic articles and patent documents referring to ...

Increasingly engineering involves systems with many autonomous subsystems and agents. Understanding and controlling such systems is beyond the abilities of traditional control methods. The issues are well captured by the ...
