Electroencephalography (EEG) headsets are the most commonly used sensing devices for brain-computer interface. In real-world applications, there are advantages to extrapolating data from one user session to another. However, these advantages are limi...
BACKGROUND: It is generally acknowledged that a functional understanding of a biological system can only be obtained by an understanding of the collective of molecular interactions in form of biological networks. Protein networks are one particular n...
OBJECTIVE: Adequate visualization of the glottic opening is a key factor to successful endotracheal intubation (ETI); however, few objective tools exist to help guide providers' ETI attempts toward the glottic opening in real-time. Machine learning/a...
Optical Music Recognition (OMR) has received increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a classifier based on a new method named Directed Acyclic Graph-Large margin Distribution Machine (DAG-LDM). The DAG-LDM is an improvement of...
