Hierarchical learning models, such as mixture models and Bayesian networks, are widely employed for unsupervised learning tasks, such as clustering analysis. They consist of observable and latent variables, which represent the given data and their un...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most important clinical pathogens, conducts an increasing number of morbidity and mortality in the world. Rapid and accurate strain typing of bacteria would facilitate epidemiological inv...
The genus Scedosporium is a complex of ubiquitous moulds associated with a wide spectrum of clinical entities, with high mortality principally in immunocompromised hosts. Ecology of these microorganisms has been studied performing isolations from env...

Possible world has shown to be effective for handling various types of data uncertainty in uncertain data management. However, few uncertain data clustering and classification algorithms are proposed based on possible world. Moreover, existing possib...
BACKGROUND: Clustering approaches used in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research use brain activity to divide the brain into various parcels with some degree of homogeneous characteristics, but choosing the appropriate clustering algor...
Electronic health records (EHRs) contain critical information useful for clinical studies. Early assessment of patients' mortality in intensive care units is of great importance. In this paper, a Deep Rule-Based Fuzzy System (DRBFS) was proposed to d...
