Abstract Relating brain tissue properties to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is limited when an image voxel contains partial volume of with free water, such as cerebrospinal fluid or edema, rendering the DTI indices no longer useful for describing underlying properties. We propose here a method separating from surrounding water while mapping volume. This achieved by fitting bi‐tensor model which mathematical framework introduced stabilize fitting. Applying on datasets healthy subject and...

Based on an observation about the different effect of ensemble averaging bias and variance portions prediction error, we discuss training methodologies for ensembles networks. We demonstrate reduction present a method extrapolation to limit infinite ensemble. A significant is obtained by just over initial conditions neural networks, without varying architectures or sets. The minimum error reached later than that single network. In vicinity minimum, appears be flatter network, thus...
Bootstrap samples with noise are shown to be an effective smoothness and capacity control technique for training feedforward networks other statistical methods such as generalized additive models. It is that noisy bootstrap performs best in conjunction weight-decay regularization ensemble averaging. The two-spiral problem, a highly non-linear, noise-free data, used demonstrate these findings. combination of averaging also useful modelling, demonstrated on the well-known Cleveland heart data.
Electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for brain state interpretation and diagnosis, but not the diagnosis of mental disorders; this may be explained by its low spatial resolution or depth sensitivity. This paper concerns schizophrenia using EEG, which currently suffers from several cardinal problems: it heavily depends on assumptions, conditions prior knowledge regarding patient. Additionally, diagnostic experiments take hours, accuracy is unreliable. article...
We examine a classification problem in which seismic waveforms of natural earthquakes are to be distinguished from man-made explosions. present an integrated machine (ICM), is hierarchy artificial neural networks (ANNs) that trained classify the waveforms. In order maximize gain combining multiple ANNs, we suggest construction redundant environment (RCE) consists several "experts" whose expertise depends on different input representations they exposed. proposed scheme, experts ensembles ANN,...
This work presents a novel method for automatic detection and identification of heart sounds. Homomorphic filtering is used to obtain smooth envelogram the phono cardiogram, which enables robust events interest in sound signal. Sequences features extracted from detected are as observations hidden Markov model. It demonstrated that task major sounds can be learned unlabelled cardiograms by an unsupervised training process without assistance any additional synchronizing channels
A novel unsupervised neural network for dimensionality reduction that seeks directions emphasizing multimodality is presented, and its connection to exploratory projection pursuit methods discussed. This leads a new statistical insight into the synaptic modification equations governing learning in Bienenstock, Cooper, Munro (BCM) neurons (1982). The importance of principle based solely on distinguishing features demonstrated using phoneme recognition experiment. extracted are compared with...
We present a new supervised learning procedure for ensemble machines, in which outputs of predictors, trained on different distributions, are combined by dynamic classifier combination model. This may be viewed as either version mixture experts (Jacobs, Jordan, Nowlan, & Hinton, 1991), applied to classification, or variant the boosting algorithm (Schapire, 1990). As experts, it can made appropriate general classification and regression problems initializing partition data set boostlike...
There is interest in extending the boosting algorithm (Schapire, 1990) to fit a wide range of regression problems. The threshold-based for used an analogy between classification errors and big regression. We focus on practical aspects this compare it other attempts extend capabilities model are demonstrated laser data from Santa Fe times-series competition Mackey-Glass time series, where results surpass those standard ensemble average.
Abstract The problem of representing the spatial structure images, which arises in visual object processing, is commonly described using terminology borrowed from propositional theories cognition, notably, concept compositionality. classical stance mandates representations composed symbols, stand for atomic or composite entities and enter into arbitrarily nested relationships. We argue that main desiderata a representational system—productivity systematicity—can (indeed, number reasons,...
One of the greatest challenges involved in studying brain mechanisms fear is capturing individual's unique instantaneous experience. Brain imaging studies to date commonly sacrifice valuable information regarding individual real-time conscious experience, especially when focusing on elucidating amygdala's activity. Here, we assumed that by using a minimally intrusive cue along with applying robust clustering approach probe amygdala, it would be possible rate real time and derive related...
It is known that acoustic heart sounds carry significant information about the mechanical activity of heart. In this paper, we present a novel type cardiac monitoring based on sound analysis. Specifically, study two morphological features and their associations with physiological changes from baseline state. The framework demonstrated recordings during laparoscopic surgeries 15 patients. Insufflation, which performed surgery, provides controlled, externally induced stress, enabling an...
