Deep Neural Network (DNN), as a deep architectures, has shown excellent performance in classification tasks. However, when the data has different distributions or contains some latent non-observed factors, it is difficult for DNN to train a single mo...
Electroencephalography (EEG) signals have been widely used to diagnose brain diseases for instance epilepsy, Parkinson's Disease (PD), Multiple Skleroz (MS), and many machine learning methods have been proposed to develop automated disease diagnosis ...

OBJECTIVE: In multi-label text classification, each textual document is assigned 1 or more labels. As an important task that has broad applications in biomedicine, a number of different computational methods have been proposed. Many of these methods,...
Rapid and reliable identification of insects is important in many contexts, from the detection of disease vectors and invasive species to the sorting of material from biodiversity inventories. Because of the shortage of adequate expertise, there has ...
Vector-borne Chagas disease is endemic to the Americas and imposes significant economic and social burdens on public health. In a previous contribution, we presented an automated identification system that was able to discriminate among 12 Mexican an...
