Vision-based Pose Estimation (VPE) represents a non-invasive solution to allow a smooth and natural interaction between a human user and a robotic system, without requiring complex calibration procedures. Moreover, VPE interfaces are gaining momentum...
BACKGROUND: Atheoretical large-scale data mining techniques using machine learning algorithms have promise in the analysis of large epidemiological datasets. This study illustrates the use of a hybrid methodology for variable selection that took acco...
Motivated by an ongoing study to develop a screening test able to identify patients with undiagnosed Sjögren's Syndrome in a symptomatic population, we propose methodology to combine multiple biomarkers and evaluate their performance in a two-stage g...

The automatic annotation of medical images is a prerequisite for building comprehensive semantic archives that can be used to enhance evidence-based diagnosis, physician education, and biomedical research. Annotation also has important applications i...
The term 'synergy' - from the Greek synergia - means 'working together'. The concept of multiple elements working together towards a common goal has been extensively used in neuroscience to develop theoretical frameworks, experimental approaches, and...

We turn the Self-organizing Map (SOM) into an Oriented and Scalable Map (OS-Map) by generalizing the neighborhood function and the winner selection. The homogeneous Gaussian neighborhood function is replaced with the matrix exponential. Thus we can s...

Most of the existing domain adaptation learning (DAL) methods relies on a single source domain to learn a classifier with well-generalized performance for the target domain of interest, which may lead to the so-called negative transfer problem. To th...
Machine learning algorithms are widely used to annotate biological sequences. Low-dimensional informative feature vectors can be crucial for the performance of the algorithms. In prior work, we have proposed the use of a community detection approach ...

This paper is concerned with the state estimation problem for a class of artificial neural networks (ANNs) without the assumptions of monotonicity or differentiability of the activation functions. The measured outputs are corrupted by stochastic nois...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder that affects the patient's nervous system and health-care applications mostly uses wearable sensors to collect these data. Since these sensors generate time stamped data, analyzing gait disturbances in ...
