Classification of different mechanisms of angle closure glaucoma (ACG) is important for medical diagnosis. Error-correcting output code (ECOC) is an effective approach for multiclass classification. In this study, we propose a new ensemble learning method based on ECOC with application to classification of four ACG mechanisms. The dichotomizers in ECOC are first optimized individually to increase ...
Most simulations of cochlear implant (CI) coding strategies rely on standard vocoders that are based on purely signal processing techniques. However, these models neither account for various biophysical phenomena, such as neural stochasticity and refractoriness, nor for effects of electrical stimulation, such as spectral smearing as a function of stimulus intensity. In this paper, a neural model t...
